Chapter 22 - Grinding Gears
"Oh crap..." Gabriel muttered. Glancing back over his shoulder, his heart plummeted when he saw what was behind him. Having gotten out of the sewers, Mommy was now charging at him at full speed. She was still on the other side of the hallway but it wouldn't be long until she reached him. It wouldn't be long at all.
"Come on come on come on come on COME ON!" Gabriel begged the door, willing the scanner to scan faster. The very second the scan was complete, the door slowly began to roll open. But Gabriel wasn't waiting any longer. Getting down on his hands and knees, he crawled under the door and scrambled inside the room. He quickly dove to the side when Mommy crashed in. His arms flailing, Gabriel grabbed something with his hand blindly. When the object pushed down with ease, he realized it was a lever to a machine.
Then came the horrible screaming.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!!!" Mommy screamed in anguish. Startled, Gabriel spun around. He suddenly wished he hadn't looked. Mommy's left hand was stuck inside a grinder, the very same grinder he had just accidently turned on. The blades were slowly turning, pulling the hand inside. The sickening sound of plastic and bone crunching followed soon after. Worse, the blades were becoming stained with blood. Grabbing her left arm as the machine pulled her inside, Mommy wailed, "What have you DONE?!"
"I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!" Gabriel exclaimed, horrified. He didn't mean for this to happen, it was an accident! But Mommy wasn't listening. She struggled in vain as more of her arm was pulled inside the grinder. "He'll make me PART OF HIM! You can't do this TO ME!!!" Unable to watch the horror anymore, Gabriel knew he had to do something. Grabbing the lever, he tried hard to pull it up. But it wouldn't budge, not even an inch. And all the while, Mommy was still pulled closer and closer to the blades. Thinking quickly, Gabriel reached into his pocket.
Grabbing Mommy's left arm, Gabriel quickly sliced through the plastic limb with his switchblade knife.
