The hallway itself seemed ominous and every inch we were drug gave me a chill up my spine. It eventually ended and we came to a black door. Kat took out a set of keys. She selected a thick, white one and twisted it into the lock. When the door clicked, she opened the door and gave instructions to put us in "the chair". My first thought, electric chair. Okay, I was half right. It was a wooden chair in a bowl of water but there was a knife attached to a pole connected to the chair. The knife seemed to be moveable. Kat turned around and looked at as we stopped walking. "Well ladies, I don't need either of you getting in my way for world domination, so this is where we go out different ways." She walked over a panel board on the other side of the room. Once there, she reached under the table and received a test dummy. She brought the inanimate object back over to the chair and placed it on the seat. Are we really this cliche? The whole idea of showing the victims what they're be forced to suffer. She walked back over to panel and began to flip a couple of switches. After a second or two, she tightened her hand around a lever. "This machine's only goal is to put you in pain not to kill you but we're gonna it so many times that it probably will," she said to us from the table as she pulled the lever. The knife began to fidget and move. It slowly began to move down and cut a huge slice down the dummy's back. We stood there in silence just watching at what we would have to go through. The whole process took 5 minutes. Kat took the sliced in half dummy and through him back over to the table. She walked back over to the panel and said, "Lotte you're first." Oh crap! I'm probably gonna die. The guard forced me into the chair and tied me down. I was immobile. The only thing I could her were a couple of threats and swears from Zoe but they even sounded far away. I saw Kat pull the lever. The creaking of the knife adjusting felt like forever before it began to move. I was able to move my head far enough forward to avoid the blade but my neck and back weren't as lucky. It hurt at first, but I felt my body go numb. After that, I saw three things. The sight of Kat's evil eyes. Zoe screaming for me to stay awake. And then a vision. I saw Carter and me standing on a beach. He was holding me by the waist. He was saying something about him never wanting to let go of me. I don't want him too. He went in for a kiss and just as our lips touched, the world went black. No Kat. No Zoe. No Carter. No kiss.
