Ten Minutes Later...

Ethan starts taking everyone's plates. Ash, Axl, and Kristine had eaten their food except for Cass. She never touched hers

Ethan: Cass; why didn't you eat your food?

She glares at him

Ethan: I asked you a question

She spits at him. He wipes his face

Ethan: Looks like someone needs to be taught a little lesson

He unties her other hand then forces her up. She starts pulls away but he pulls her to him so she starts attaching him. Everyone is in shock as they watch. Ethan throws her to the ground then grabs her by the hair and starts dragging her. She starts screaming while grabbing his hand. He drags her to the basement door, opens it, and throws her down the stairs

Ash and Axl: Cass!

Ethan looks at them

Ethan: Quiet both of you!

Ash: She's just scared

Ethan looks at Cass whose on the floor in pain then closes the door and goes over to Ash

Ethan: She's scared huh? Are you scared Ash?

Ash: Yeah

Ethan: Why? You've been behaving since you've been here. You have nothing to worry about

Ash: You're hurting her

Ethan: She's doing this to herself. All she has to do is cooperate. Simple as that

He puts his hand on her cheek and pats it. He goes back to the basement door

Ethan: Everyone better be where they're at when I get back

He goes in the basement. Axl looks at Ash and grabs her hand. She looks at him

Axl: Did he hurt you?

She shakes her head

Axl: I can't believe that bastard took you. We were all worried. What happened?

Ash: I came over to give him a gift. He invited me to dinner so I stayed then heard something in the basement so I went down there and saw

She looks at Kristine

Ash: Her. I was there when he cut out her tongue

Axl: My god

Ash: After that, he chased me into the woods and drugged me

Axl: That son of a bitch. I'm sorry you had to go through that

He kisses her hand and leans his head on hers

Axl: We're going to get out of this

She nods and looks at Kristine

Ash: Kristine

She looks at her

Ash: He said he had other girls here; what happened to them?

She slides her finger across her neck

Axl: Oh my god, he's going to kill us

Kristine shakes her head then uses her finger to "write" on the table. They look

Ash: Obey

She keeps going

Axl: The

She keeps going

Ash: Rules

Cass lets out a blood curdling scream. Everyone looks at the door in shock. The scream gets louder. They all look at each other in panic. Ash holds Axl's hand tighter. The screams finally stop. It's a moment of silence until the door opens. Ethan comes out covered in blood. Everyone eyes get wide

Ash: Oh my god!!

Ethan: I didn't fucking kill her, relax!

Ash starts crying. He goes over to the kitchen sink and starts washing the blood off his hands. Ash keeps crying. Ethan hits the sink, turns it off, and starts walking over to her. Axl let's go of Ash's hand then glares at Ethan. Ethan stands next to Ash

Ethan: I said relax

Ash: What did you do to her? What the fuck did you do?!

He grabs her face

Ethan: Calm yourself!

Ash: You killed her; didn't you?

He unties her other hand and pulls her up

Ethan: I'll show you

He takes her inside the basement and over to the trunk. He unlocks and opens it

Ethan: See for yourself

She can hear Cass crying

Ash: Cass?

Cass sticks her head out

Cass: Ash?

Ash covers her mouth. One of Cass's eyes were gone. Cass sticks her hand out to her

Ethan: Get back in there

He grabs her head and forces her back in. He closes  and locks the trunk. Cass starts banging on the trunk while yelling. He looks at Ash. She's standing there in shock but looks at him

Ethan: See? Still alive

He grabs her hand and takes her back upstairs
