Kat freezes when she realises whose collar Damian is holding.
"You killed her, didn't you? You killed Freya," she says quietly.
Mitchell nods.
"Indeed I did. Stupid cat walked right into my path. Damian grabbed her, and, well, I skinned her." He shrugs as if this is an everyday occurrence.
"So she's dead?"
"Yes. How many times do I have to get that through your thick head? Honestly, what are you women like?"
"I'm not repeating myself because I'm 'stupid' so to speak, I'm repeating myself because I'm in shock," Kat replies, anger in her voice. Mitchell walks over to the board with all the switches and dials, but before he can do anything, Kat speaks up again.
"You won't win. If Freya isn't dead, then she'll find me. And even if she is dead, I'll find a way out of here, I'll make sure of that. You got that, Mitchell? I'll find a way out of here."
"Yes, yes, I hear you, Princess. But even if you do find a way out - which is-" A cough interrupts Mitchell's speech, and he, Damian and Kat look up to see a young woman around Kat's age smiling at them. She's wearing short black denim shorts which show off her leg tattoo sleeves, Doc Martin boots on her feet, and a strapless black crop top which Kat at first mistakes for a bra, showing off the woman's bright red stomach scars, one going across the top of her stomach, and the other scar going straight down the middle of her stomach. She's got the same small feeding tube as Kat has. Her hair is cut in a pixie cut, and is dyed black with dark red streaks. Her glasses are the same mad scientist type glasses as Kat, and frame the woman's piercing yellow wolf-like eyes. She's got two black lip rings on her bottom lip, just like Kat, and has tattoos covering her arms. But what's so haunting to Kat is the woman's neck, which has the exact same neck scar as her, with two faint lines; one at the top of her neck, and one at the base of her neck, the skin in between stretched out so it looks like it could snap at any moment.
She's almost an exact carbon copy of Kat.
"Oh my God," Kat gasps, looking at the woman, who's walking over to the two men. The woman puts her left hand on Damian's shoulder, and it's then that Kat spots the sparkling ring on the woman's wedding finger.
"Hello, Princess," she says to Kat, and Kat instantly recognises the voice.
It's the voice that Kat heard in the bathroom two weeks earlier, warning her that the Shikari were coming.
"It's you," Kat gasps, trying to get up.
"Indeed it is," the woman says, her voice taking on a seductive tone. "I see you've already met my husband, Damian," she adds, stroking Damian's neck lightly with her fingers.
"Y-you're married? I never knew. C-congratulations."
"Why thank you. My name's Katherine, by the way."
"T-that's a nice name," Kat stutters, her heart racing madly; and this time, it's not being controlled by a machine. She knows she's trapped here forever.Kat must've fallen asleep because she wakes up to shouting and swearing. She recognises the voices; it's Rory, Rob, Chris and Rou. And Debby must be with them because she can hear a woman crying. Instantly Kat's heart turns a little colder towards Debby, but then she sees what's in front of her.
Mitchell has got Rory's arms pinned behind his back, and is holding a sharp curved knife to his throat. Damian is holding a sword to Chris's neck, and Kerry has Rob in a headlock, her eyes lingering on Rob's bare chest. Debby's arms are being pinned behind her back by Katherine, but it's who's in the middle of the group that makes Kat feel sick to her stomach.
Josh is holding a switchblade to Rou's neck.
