When Lily opened her eyes, the first thing that appeared before her gaze was the image of her beloved being shot in the head. Fear enveloped the girl's soul. An attempt to move resonated with a sharp pain in her left arm. Only then did she remember: while trying to escape from those bastards, they had broken her arm.
Besides the pain, the movement informed her that she was tied up. As soon as the wave of pain subsided, she also realized that she was completely naked.
The awareness of what was happening shackled Lily's soul with an animalistic fear. She was no fool and understood what this was leading to. After seeing Ray shot in the head, something inside the girl had died. Now, only her children mattered to her.
Turning her head and looking around, she saw a masked figure fiddling with a camera. The figure wore a cloak, making it impossible to determine the person's gender.
Lily realized she was in a well-lit basement.
"I don't know what you want, but I don't think it's anything good. Whatever you're planning — I beg you, let me give birth, and then I'll do whatever you want," Lily said, agitated.
"Don't worry. We've always wanted to try our hand as directors. Honestly, we've watched not only your two films but all of your mother's films too. So we are very glad you've agreed to take part in our debut movie. And since this is your final role, we must try to make it so your beloved enjoys it. I will pray he gets to see it. Something tells me this will be my best work," the figure replied.
After these words, three naked men emerged from the corridor. Lily recognized them immediately — even though it had been dark that time, she was sure these were the very men who had attacked them.
The girl understood what this was leading to, and it terrified her to the core. As if noticing her fear, the masked figure said:
"No need to be so frightened. These are your scene partners. Perhaps you'll even enjoy it."
When they approached and one of them ran a hand over her naked body, the girl shuddered with disgust. After cutting the ropes, one of the men lifted Lily by her hair while the second began to position himself behind her.
She had resisted this until the very last moment, because this step would kill not only her, but her and Ray's daughters too. But now, she had no choice. Lily tried to bite off her tongue, but the bastard holding her by the hair noticed it and struck her hard in the face. Tears streamed from the girl's eyes, and her mouth filled with blood. Moreover, the blow knocked out several of her teeth.
"My brothers and I don't often get a chance to have fun with such a beauty, so be a good girl and don't deprive us of this pleasure," the bastard said with a laugh.
Lily spat the fragments of teeth and blood right into his face, but this act, and the fury with which the girl glared at him, seemed only to amuse him.
"You're feisty. I really enjoy breaking bitches like you. I'll try very hard so that we both enjoy the process," he replied.
Lily fought desperately, doing everything so that these bastards would regret the day they decided to attack her and Ray. She resisted so fiercely that she even forgot the pain in her broken arm.
The masked figure filming it all seemed to enjoy her futile attempts, and the three bastards (who had somehow lost their fourth friend) were already regretting untying this wild bitch.
Lily's entire body was covered in bruises, and she was clearly exhausted. But fear and hatred gave her strength. She knew how it would all end, but in case her beloved really did see this video, Lily wanted him to know: she had not given up so easily.
Tired of her resistance, one of the bastards caught her leg and squeezed so hard that it broke. The crunch of bones and a pain-filled scream echoed through the room. After that, Lily's resistance gradually began to wane. And when they finally got their way and one of them entered her, the girl lost the will to fight and stopped resisting altogether.
Noticing this and her empty stare, the leader of this quartet, which had recently become a trio, inserted his member into this bitch's mouth. He hadn't tried this before, fearing he might lose his "equipment." But seeing the empty stare, he understood that she had lost the will to live.
While his brethren enjoyed the process, the third waited patiently for his turn.
Suddenly, a deafening scream echoed through the basement — from the boss of this group. Lily, who had seemingly lost the will to live, sank her teeth into his member. She put into it not only all her strength, but all her hatred and fear. No matter how they beat her, she would not release her victim. Relishing the howls of the bastard, the girl finished her work. Spitting out the "trophy" with disgust, Lily laughed madly — it was obvious the girl had lost touch with reality.
She was brought back to the world by three gunshots that rang out in the basement. A new wave of pain flooded her consciousness. She found herself lying on the floor.
The masked figure approached her and said joyfully:
"We knew you wouldn't disappoint us. These bastards turned out to be good for nothing. But don't be scared — this isn't the end yet."
With these words, the cloaked figure produced a first-aid kit and injected Lily with something. Then they moved the girl onto a surgical table.
"You're probably curious. This is a blend of neurostimulants so you can experience the full range of sensations. And a couple more drugs so our fun doesn't end too quickly."
Having prepared everything, the masked figure began very methodically breaking her fingers. Ray felt as if he could hear the screams of his beloved for hours.
Enjoying the screams of their victim, the figure cut open her stomach and placed two bloody infants beside her, after which they doused all three with gasoline.
"Why are you doing this? What did we do to you?" asked Lily. Her voice mixed spite and hatred. She didn't beg for mercy, because she clearly understood: whoever this person in the mask was, they were definitely a psychopath, and even if her pleas by some miracle made them spare the children, she wouldn't want her children to grow up under their care.
"All I can tell you is: you chose the wrong guy. We've heard that children must answer for the sins of their parents. So your children are answering for your sin."
"I hope your husband enjoys the show we've put on for him."
Hearing these words, Lily laughed spitefully and said firmly:
"You'd better kill him now. Because if you give him a chance — one day he will turn your life into hell."
"We will pray that this scum survives the gunshot to the head, and we can watch him try to do just that," with these words, the cloaked figure laughed and struck a match.
Seeing this, Lily tried to embrace the children lying next to her, and looking into the camera, she smiled tenderly.
She knew it would be very hard for Ray to see this, and she admitted it might break him. No matter how strong a person is, everyone has a limit. She wanted to believe that if Ray recovered, he could get through this. Lily wanted her last smile to be a sign that she still loved him and did not blame him for anything.
As soon as the screams of Lily, burning alive together with her children, ceased, the screen went dark and the scene changed. The same masked figure sat in an armchair and said:
"Learning that you came to, we were so happy. We know you've lost your sight, and we are very sorry. We worked hard to make our show interesting, and I think that even without sight, you can fully appreciate the work we've done."
"This little girl truly believed you would make us regret this. And we will wait with great interest to see how you do that."
"And yes, we are very kind. So along with the movie, we sent you one more gift. No need to thank us."
The fury, the feeling of powerlessness, and self-hatred gave birth to such a potent cocktail of emotions that, not knowing where to vent it and unable even to scream, Ray bit through his own arm.
He saw nothing, but his passion for books had gifted him a rich imagination, which perfectly completed the picture. Despite this, Ray had no thought of ending his life. Though he knew: this video would become his eternal nightmare, tormenting his soul until the end of his days.
