All I can do is silently shed tears and stare through the bars as Dr. Waugh crosses the room to where Darryn is sleeping, probably knocked out by the same drug administered to me. I hope and pray that he stays that way until Dr. Waugh is done. I wouldn’t want him to suffer with nightmares about the procedure or the aftermath, like I did. Our friends at the Carnaval des Ténèbres know how close we are; they’ll probably assume Darryn and I have run off together, except maybe Yager. I want to go home. I want to return to my family of freaks.

I flinch at the sound of flesh parting, and it takes every bit of my control not to surrender myself to the past when it was me going under the knife on that fucking gurney. Dr. Waugh is nothing if not careful, and every slice he makes will be precise. He takes pride in his work, but his mind is beyond both comprehension and the realms of sanity. I don’t want to be here. I don’t want to bear witness to the grotesque scene I know is playing out in front of me. Even with my eyes pinched tightly shut, I can still hear every damn cut and the sound of Darryn’s skin being shredded and mutilated.

Darryn doesn’t deserve this, and I didn’t either, but this is all my doing. I fled from the monster’s lair, but he found me and dragged me back again, and Darryn’s here because of me. I’d never wish any kind of affliction on anyone, but of all the conditions in this world, I wish with all my heart Darryn could be like Yager, if only for a few hours, so he would be immune to the pain of what’s to come.

It feels like an age since the sounds began. Eventually, curiosity rears her ugly head, and I open my eyes. I retch behind the gag when I see what‘s happening; the bastard has angled himself in such a way as to give me a clear view of everything. Darryn’s right hand is an unrecognizable mess, and there’s blood all over the gloves and overalls Dr. Waugh is wearing.

I start to choke on the ball between my teeth as I fight not to vomit, knowing if I do, I’ll suffocate. I’m transfixed by the horror in front of my eyes. I can’t look away. Sensing my gaze, Dr. Waugh glances up at me, and his lips twist into a terrifying smirk before he refocuses on what he’s doing. I tug at the manacles holding me in place and force my body to contort in ways virtually impossible for me until the skin on my back splits. My screech is muffled by the gag as I crumple, eyes blurred with tears of agony and failure.

“For fuck’s sake, Maia, stay still and be quiet. You keep distracting me, and you don’t want me to harm your friend beyond repair do you? If you damage your body, I’ll have to fix it, and I won’t give you the reprieve of anesthetic,” Dr.
