The Deadly Break

Playing the Game

  Everyone sat together in the living room, and Glenda walked away for a second, and came back with a first aid kit. "What is that for?"

 "Patch her up Derek, we don't need her bleeding out and dying. At least not yet, if I decide to let you live through the night." Glenda said, tossing the first aid kit. "Here are the rules, and there are only 2. Rule 1: Do what I say and Rule 2: You have 30 seconds to do it, if not, I start inflicting pain. The more you work against me, the more severe the pain gets. Got it?"

  Everyone nodded their head in a yes motion, including Derek, who was nursing Katrina's wounds.

 "Very good, lets get started. Derek, I will let you finish helping Katrina before I call on you." Glenda said.

 "Alright?" Derek said.

 "Moving on. You there girl, the one they call Layla, I have something special for you. Get that lighter there off of the coffee table, and put it under your arm until it leaves a severe burn. Remember 30 seconds, starts now!" Glenda barked.

  Layla had tears in her eyes, as she walked towards the table, grabbing the lighter with shaking hands. "Layla, don't do it!"
"Alex, I have to. If I don't she'll kill us all eventually. We have to choice." Layla said crying.
  Then she flicked the lighter until it lit, and held it under her forearm. She could feel the heat under her arm intensify, her eyes suddenly look like they are glued shut. The hotter it got, the more she winced, then, she started screaming minutes later.
"Come on, let her go! She did what you told her!" Dan screamed over Layla.
  Glenda watched with a twisted grin on her face. "Stop." She said suddenly.
  Layla dropped the lighter, and dropped to her knees, holding her arm crying, rocking back and forth. Alex walked over to her, and pulled her into his arms. "It is going to be alright Layla, and we are going to make it through this. I promise."
"I'm so scared." Layla sobbed.
"I know you are, I am too." Alex said.
  Glenda paced the floor, her skin looking more cracked up then before, and her eyes were redder. She picked the next victim. "You there, Dan, you're up. Go into the kitchen, get the sharpest knife there is and cut off your left index finger."
"Are you out of your fucking mind?" Dan shouted.
"Remember the rules Dan, you don't obey, I inflict extreme pain. It is up to you. Twenty seconds! Glenda ordered.
"Just do it dude, I don't want to see this bitch hurt anyone else." Alex said.
  Dan sighed and walked into the kitchen to find a knife. After finding the sharpest one, he went back into the living room. "Alright, you sick fuck, this is what you want?" Dan said, slamming his hand on the coffee table. "Game on!"
  Then he began sawing at his finger, screaming as the knife cut through his bone. It looked as if his finger got sawed off by something.. Extremely graphic and sickening. Dan ripped his shirt off, and wrapped around his gushing finger. He fell backwards feeling light headed, because of the adrenaline pumping through him, and the blood he lost. His breathing rapid, he lay there, trying to calm his breathing down.
"I guess I was wrong about you all. You do know how to follow directions. Next, Alex, it is your turn. Grab the lighter Layla used earlier and burn the end of Dan's finger." Glenda ordered, voice sounding deeper.
"What?!" Alex shouted.
"Do it or he dies! Make your choice!" Glenda shot back
  Rolling his eyes, Alex grabbed the lighter, and walked over to Dan. "It's going to be alright. I'm going to make it stop."
  He then flicked the lighter, and moved the shirt from Dan's finger. Slowly, he shakily moved the flame towards Dan's injured finger, they both screamed as it was being done.
"Enough! Why the fuck are you bringing them into this?!" Derek shouted.
"My game, my rules. My revenge." Glenda said. "Although, if you want to end it all now, you can die."
"Fuck that shit, he isn't going to die. Fight together, die together!" Nate shouted.
"Nate what are you doing?" Derek asked.
"Dude, you're not going through this alone. I won't let you." Nate said.
  Derek nodded and looked at his possessed ex. "I'll go next. I can take it."
"Alright, fine, I got something way worse for you. Stab your friend, Nate in the arm." Glenda ordered.
"Fine." Derek said.
"Wait, what?" Nate said suddenly. "Why are you agreeing to this?"
"We are in this together remember? I have to do this." Derek said.
  Nate sighed. "Just do it."
  Derek lifted the knife, and drove it into his friends arm. Nate screamed, and blood went everywhere. Katrina began to freak out, and then fainted at the sight of all the blood...
