(As Elaina was shaking Seven awake, she heard banging and scraping the door she previously blocked. She found a pole and decided to barricade the door with it. Elaina heard Seven waking up and turned to face her.)
Elaina: Seven. Are you alright?
Seven (groggily): I’m… going to kill him. I am going to kill that motherfucker!
Elaina: We must find Nix first! Come on, Seven. Get up!
(Elaina helped Seven up and found clothes Seven could wear and gave them to her. As Seven was putting the clothes on, they heard banging at the door that Elaina blocked with a pole. Seven got the clothes on and picked up her pole; she and Elaina found another door leading out the room and they ran to it with Elaina locking the door. When she turned to look ahead, she was met with Seven’s hand over her mouth and seeing multiple dead bodies; male and female hanging by ropes connected to the ceiling which made Elaina want to freak out. They heard the previous door burst open; making them run out of that area into another room where the music originated from with a nearby radio. The room was wide with different doors and areas to go through, a bloody table was in the middle of the room and a bloody saw at the end of the table.)
Elaina: So… he kills men too?!
Seven: Yes. He does the same thing with men; trying to make them his woman.
Elaina (disgusted): … Sick.
(The area was dimly lit with one light hanging from the ceiling. They saw movement and a silhouette of a person slowly dragging forward. Seven and Elaina looked closely at who was crawling and saw it was Nix. Seven ran towards her and kneeled to set Nix up. Nix wore a white dress drenched in her own blood. She had stab wounds in multiple areas on her body; she was bleeding from her mouth and losing blood. Elaina checked her wounds.)
Seven: Iola. It’s Yvette. Come on, stay with me…
Elaina: Internal bleeding. He didn’t hit the artery of her heart, but her stomach looks like a direct hit. If I can find the spot…
Seven: Come on, Iola. Talk to me.
Nix (struggling): Yvette… Everything hurts… I’m scared…
Seven: I know it hurts, but you’re just in shock. Try to stay calm, Io.
Nix (struggling): I… I’m trying… It hurts so much…
(Elaina looks under Nix’s dress and sees the true damage. The bottom part of her stomach was sliced down all the way to her private part which was bleeding profusely; shocking Elaina.)
Elaina (quietly): Oh, God…
(Seven looked at Elaina with a worried look; Elaina looked at Seven and slowly shook her head which made Seven start shedding tears.)
Nix (shaky breathing): Elaina…
(Elaina looked at Nix.)
Nix (shaky breathing): I can’t see you… but I can feel you’re here. Remember… what I told you… Take care… of my baby. I trust… you will…
Elaina (tearing): I will. I promise…
Nix (shaky breathing but calm): Thank you… Yvie?
(Seven looks to Nix and hold on to her hand.)
Seven: Yes, Io?
Nix (shaky breathing): You’ll have to… go without me…
Seven: That’s not going to happen. Don’t say that.
Nix (shaky breathing): I’m… fading. You… know that… Think about this… you… will be liberated soon… and… I’ll be free…
(Nix breathing becomes labored; Seven held her close still holding her hand.)
Seven (quietly): Yeah… I understand what you mean. You sound tired. I promise you… he will get his. I promise you that. I love you… Iola.
Nix (labored breathing): I… know you will… I… love you too… Yvette…
(Seven kissed Nix’s forehead and got close to her ear.)
Seven (whispering/tearful): You can rest now, Iola…
(After Seven said those words, she felt Nix’s grip loosen and her body go limp. Seven lays Nix down: putting her hands together. Seven began to quietly sob. Elaina puts her arms around Seven, consoling her with tears rolling down her face. Moments later, they hear banging on the door Elaina locked. They turned to see the door.)
Elaina: Shit! He’s coming.
Seven: I know. We’ll ambush him here. Hide somewhere. If I’m in trouble, get him.
(Elaina nodded and decided to hide underneath a nearby table and readied her gun, aiming it at the door. Seven immediately got next to the door kneeling and holding her pole at the ready. Moments later after the banging on the door, the door bursts open; making Seven swing her pole hitting Benjamin’s knee. He yelled in pain and grabbed Seven by her hair in retaliation to stand her up, but he ended up getting hit in his side and his arm to let her go and he backed away; still holding his blade.)
Seven (angrily): You killed Iola. You’re fucking dead!
Benjamin: Oh. You want to try this again? Fine. I’ll make sure to gut you just like your slut sister.
(Benjamin ran towards Seven with his blade in hand; Seven was able to hit him in his injured leg which made his limp worse and him feel enraged. He started swinging his blade; trying to stab Seven, but she dodged every swing and struck him in the face with the pole; making him fall to the floor in a daze and knocking his blade out of his hand. Seven dropped her pole and picked up Benjamin’s blade as she slowly walked towards him. She kneeled on top of him and held the blade; ready to stab him.)
Seven: You like killing women; wanting to make them your bride; even men. How’d you like it if I make you my bitch this time?!
(Before Seven could strike Benjamin, her injuries caught up with her; making her drop the blade and writhe on the floor; getting off him. Benjamin came back to his senses, picked up his blade, and stood up. He looked at Seven and grabbed her by the shirt to stand her up; he held the blade by Seven’s throat.)
Benjamin: You really were going to make me your bitch? That’s funny, Yvette, but this is the end of the line for you. Give my regards to your whore sister.
(Before Benjamin could slash Seven’s throat, Elaina shot Benjamin’s blade out of his hand, got out from her hiding spot with her gun aimed at Benjamin, and proceeded to shoot him three times in the chest; making him fall backwards to the floor along with Seven not being able to stand by herself. As she walked towards Seven to help her up, she aimed her gun at Benjamin to make sure he was dead. Seven picked up her pole and looked at his body.)
Seven: That’s for Iola, motherfucker.
Elaina: Let’s get out of here.
(Seven pointed in the opposite direction from where they came from.)
Seven: Go this way. That’s the shortcut I entered from.
(As Elaina decided to go where Seven instructed her, she felt a head splitting headache come out of nowhere; making her fall to her knees holding her head; Seven was able to stand with her pipe and was worried about Elaina.)
Seven (worried): ‘Laina! What’s wrong with you?!
(Seven looked up and saw Benjamin was back on his feet with a sadistic look on his face; looking at Elaina.)
Elaina (struggling): Get out of here, Seven. Get to the elevator and go to the 8th floor. I’ll be right behind you.
(Seven nodded.)
Seven: Okay, but you better come back.
(Seven turned and limped as fast as she could out of the area. Elaina aimed her gun at the now revived Benjamin who was walking toward Elaina.)
Benjamin: Well, that hurt, but I guess your love just won’t let me die. You know that gun is not going to work. It’s going to make me want you more.
(Elaina felt her strength fade due to her headaches and lost her grip on her gun. She then dropped to the floor groaning in pain and closed her eyes, passing out. Benjamin picked her up and laid her on a gurney on the other side of the room and whispered in her ear.)
Benjamin (whispering): I picked some other people before you arrived. I’m going to see if they are… suitable and worthy of my love. So, you will be saved for last. I know you’re quivering with anticipation, but you’ll have to wait my dear, sweet, Elaina.
(Benjamin turned and left out the room leaving the unconscious Elaina.)
