He walks around Ash, Cass, and Ms. Child's while staring each of them down to decide. They were all scared. He passes them and stops in front of Axl. Axl glares at him
Ethan: You've been the biggest pain in my ass ever since you got here. You disobeyed my rules and disrespected me
He picks up the hammer on the drawer
Ash: No
Ethan: Stay out of this Ash. I'll deal with you later
He shows Axl the hammer
Ethan: This is the same hammer you used on me. This bad boy here hurt like a bitch and I'm going to make sure you feel the same pain as I did. I don't want to kill you just yet so you're lucky I'm going to go easy on you. Question is; how?
He checks him out then smirks
Ethan: I know what I'm going to do
He takes the gag out of his mouth
Axl: Fuck you! Fuck you motherfucker!
He spits at him. Ethan wipes his face and laughs
Ethan: You are so going to regret that kid
He hits him on his left hand with the hammer. Axl yells
Ash: Leave him alone!
Ethan: If I have to tell you again Ash, I'll make your punishment worse than it already is now shut up
He gets back in Axl's face
Ethan: What's my name?
Axl looks at him
Axl: Ethan
He hits his hand again but harder. Axl yells louder
Ethan: Wrong! It's dad! Let's try that again. What's my name?
Axl: Ethan
He hits his other hand. He yells more
Ms. Child's: Stop it!
Ethan: Shut your damn mouth! Spoiler alert, you're fucking next!
Ethan grabs Axl by his chin
Ethan: What's my name?
Axl let's out pained sounds. Ash looks over at the stairs then back at Ethan. He focused on Axl. She strikes up the strength and courage to start crawling to the stairs. Ms. Child's sees but quickly looks back. Cliff and Cass do the same. They all keep their eyes on Ethan so he doesn't expect a thing
Ethan: What's my goddamn name?
He repeatedly hits both Axl's hands one at a time. Axl yells in agony. Ash tears up while carefully crawling up the stairs
Ethan: What's my fucking name?!
Axl: Dad! Dad! Stop! Please!
Ethan finally stops with a smile on his face
Ethan: See? That wasn't so hard; was it?
He lightly slaps Axl's cheek. Axl begins crying. Ash makes it halfway until one of the stairs squeak. She stops and looks back. Ethan quickly looks and sees her
Ethan: Ash!
She starts crawling up the stairs again but faster
Ethan: Goddammt!
He rushes over to her
Ethan: How many fucking times do I have to tell you...
He picks her up, taking her down the stairs as she screams. He takes back to the same spot she was at and drops her to the ground. He kicks her in the stomach
Ethan: Not to pull...
He kicks her again
Ms. Child's: Ash!
Ethan: This...
He kicks her once again
Ethan: Shit!
He stomps on her face and knocks her out. He begins catching his breath. Her ear starts to bleed. Everyone is shocked
Ethan: That should do it
He turns around to face everyone
Ethan: Now; where was I?
