What stood before me was a wax figure, nearly identical to me in size and detail. The craftsmanship was so precise, it felt unnatural-every detail, even the texture of the skin, looked real.

But it was the eyes that caught my attention the most. They seemed alive, just like mine.

No artist, no matter how skilled, could create eyes this convincing. They had to be real eyes.

And then I realized-the eyes were mine.

Anger surged through me, and my teeth clenched. How could these people be so heartless? What had 1 done to deserve this?

They killed me, and now they were turning my body into a grotesque display. Not even the dignity of a proper burial.

Tears welled up in my eyes as 1 shakily reached out to touch the wax figure.

My eyes were there, staring back at me, but what about my organs?

Were they also turned into sickening art, like the intestinal beads I had seen earlier?

As my fingers lightly touched the figure's eyes, a disturbing, garbled voice suddenly filled my head.

""Hurry, she's not dead. Take her heart."

"The surgery went well."

"She's gone? What a shame. Silas didn't hold back. Such a beautiful face, ruined."

"Peel off her skin, make it into a book. The rest can be used for a drum."

"Her eyes are lovely, though. Let's make a nice wax figure for them."

"As for the rest of her organs, just send them to her family

The voices echoed in my mind, distant and unclear. I didn't recognize them, but they felt like the final thoughts before my death.

The pain in my head worsened, the voices growing louder.

Instinctively, I cradled my head, trying to block it out. "No!" I whispered, my voice shaky.

"Zoey! What's happening?" Carter's voice broke through the noise.

He pulled me close, but I couldn't stop crying. My tears soaked his shirt.
