---Everything said in this story is purely fictionol--

Her phone buzzed with his message "now that everything is ready, start the project"

*(Days later)*
The warehouse stank of iron. Anya stood frozen at the edge of the table as Daft tightened the final chain

The centipede lived now.

It writhed, a mass of human bodies chained mouth to flesh, cries and groans ripple like waves through its length. She told herself not to look closely at the faces, if she did she would see the woman from the bar, the man who beeged for warmth , all of them braided into a nightmare that wore her fingerprints

Daft wiped his hands on a rag. Hs expression blank, professional, but his hands shook faintly as he folded the cloth
Daft said his voice hoarse "it's not for us, remember that"
Her phone buzzed *"perfect, now show it to them , let the monsters pay for their own hunger".*

The auction hall was luxurious, velvet curtains hung heavy as chandeliers bled gold light, the VIPs arrived draped in jewels and cruelty

Anya stood near Daft, heart pounding , their "masterpiece" waited behind curtains.

The VIP host cheered "tonight u will see something new , unforgettable"

The curtain drew back. Gasps ,then applause. Some were in awe , others clapped with greedy hands. To them this wasn't horror, it was entertainment

The bidding started, the VIPs raised their paddles with glee. The human centipede cried in pain , every sound answered with more laughter

She felt sick , but she held steady. At the back of the stage Daft pressed the remote into her hand "Don't hesitate" his voice waa heavy as if he's handing her a burden

The bidding climaxed , Anya's hand tightened around the remote , chest hamnering she pressed the button

The explosion of the creature tore the hall apart. Fire bloomed , chandeliers crashing down , their laughter replaced by screams. The centipede erupted , a living bomb that consumed the predators who come to feast.

They both fled from there back to the warehouse. Anya said her voice shaking "it's done , they're gone"

But when she look at him, his eyes dark not with victory but with something close to sorrow ,he asked quietly "and how many innocents did we burn with them?"

The words cut deeper than flames , she stood frozen, before she could answer her phone buzzed, with her brother's message "ignore his words, he's weak. You're stronger, stay with me"

Tanya's heart cracked under the pull of two voices , her brother's relentless command and Daft's quite fracture
