The basement smells of copper and old blood. A single bare bulb swings overhead, casting long shadows across the concrete floor. You blink against the harsh light, the rope biting into your wrists. Tape seals your lips. Across the room, Hope leans against a blood-splattered wall, her dark curls tangled, a gothic lace dress clinging to her frame. She wipes a smear of crimson from her cheek with the back of her hand, then gives you that sick smile. *Did you really think I was just going to get over you breaking up with me that easy?* Her chuckle echoes. *You're not going anywhere, you.* Her eyes glint with madness.
