OCWFED.com Presents TURMOIL

   

Darkness envelops the room we transition into. Not much can be seen at all outside of a dim light up top. The only things that can be heard are groans of pain and labored breathing. The camera pans down to show a young woman leaning back on a wooden chair, her arms, legs, and head tied back to it.

She tries to move around to get out of the predicament, but she’s too weak to make any big moves.

???:
Aaahhh….

The camera zooms in slightly to show that the young woman is Dragana, beaten and bruised from her match with Ace. She tries to move back and forth to tip the chair over, but the pain is too much again.

Dragana:
Ungh….

Suddenly, a television attached to the wall on the opposite side as well as what sounds like feedback from a speaker coming from the corner of the room.

???:
Hey! Heyyy? You’re up, finally?

Dragana searches the room for the voice, angered at its familiarity.

Ace:
Hey there! You feeling okay?

Dragana struggles again to escape her confinement.

Ace:
Please stop. You’re still a bit weak from the match, remember?

Dragana ceases her attempt. Immediately afterwards, the television in front of her flickers on.

Dragana:
Hm…?

Ace: Since we’re best friends now, I feel like I should get you acquainted with what I like. And in case you haven’t noticed, it’s anime!

Dragana is immediately bombarded with horrific imagery, scenes from the anime Shiki, Perfect Blue, Black Butler, you name it.

Ace:
Horror anime!

Ace chuckles as the scenes continue. Dragana can do nothing but sit, horrified by the thing’s she’s being shown.

Ace:
Don’t worry, sweetie. It’s all part of the process. Get used to it though, I’ve only scratched the surface. I know there’s this game called Doki Doki Literature Club we can play as well!

Dragana: Eh?

She hopelessly lowers her gaze and shakes her head. After a moment, she picks her head back up and resumes watching the footage.

After a while, Dragana’s eyes become bloodshot from watching the frightening footage and she seems to be frozen in shock and fear. Dragana lets out a groan as the horrific footage continues.

Dragana:
Ugh…….

She lowers her head again to rest, but she hears the sound of footsteps coming closer to her location. The door swings open and the light from the other side shines on her face.

Ace:
Ahhh!

Ace is shown next to Dragana, who is still restrained in the chair. Dragana has to close her eyes, as the sheer brightness of the light is too much for her eyes to adjust to at once. Ace covers her eyes as well before squinting at a figure that scurries away.

The door slowly creaks closed again.

Ace:
Rrrrrrrrr.

Ace charges at the door to look around and find the source of the interruption, but finds nothing and shouts in frustration. She continues shouting as she throws the door open, leaping out to try and find the intruder.

Ace:
RAHHH!! How many times have I told you to stop breaking things when we have guests!?

Dragana’s eyes begin to once again adjust, her vision clearly distorted and blurry after being subjected to the torture. In the light of the still playing TV, a vibrant pink flower is held out by a soft hand from behind Dragana’s head.

Dragana:
…!!!

The kind but determined eyes of one Terra Daturas lean down next to Dragana’s face. She speaks softly, as Ace continues searching outside the door.

Terra:
Try to relax, Ms. Dragana. I can tell you are hurt physically and emotionally.

Terra: I knew you would not leave behind your beautiful flower unless something was wrong. I cannot believe how someone could ever do such a thing to a kind soul. I had to do something.

Terra looks distraught, but tries to embrace her new-found confidence and continues.

Terra:
Even in pain and struggle I can see your love and strength. It pains me to see someone such as yourself in this shape… No... No time for sadness. We must get you away from this horrible place, Ms. Dragana.

Dragana is stunned, but begins shaking her head to try and regain her faculties. Terra begins removing the restraints one at a time, freeing Dragana’s legs first… Then her head and neck.

Before she can get the arms free, the door flies open and the television pauses. Ace stands above Terra and Dragana with fire in her eyes and screeches as she charges at Terra Daturas.

The two women struggle, brawling against a wall. The light from the doorway illuminates Terra and Ace’s struggle. Terra eventually pins Ace against the wall and looks back to Dragana, in a moment of pure adrenaline, she stands up, using her freed legs to charge at Ace.

Terra moves out of the way at the final moment as Dragana spears Ace onto a table filled with horrific anime. Both women crash to the floor, breaking the arms of the chair violently and leaving Ace incapacitated.

Dragana, having used the last of her energy, seems completely finished. Terra looks on with concern for one of the only people that welcomed her into OCW with kindness… She lifts Dragana to her feet, and helps her out of the door.

Just as the door closes behind the two women. Ace’s eyes pop open. The final image we can see in the light of the cracked door is a sinister smile coming from Ace… laying next to the bright pink Azalea.
