It'd be far too much work for me to change it to third person; seeing as I've already written three more chapters to the story. Not to burst your bubble or anything, but the story is about Lily - of course she's going to live. That's the point.

<w<;

Okay, I'm sure there is some Saw fanfiction writer who decided to let their character die just to change things up. I wasn't sure whether you were going to do that or not.

[Edit] Also, the story can still be about Lily in 3rd person, it's called 3rd person limited.

It would have sounded better if you said exactly how much blood had to be spilled into the jar, instead of saying a litre or so.

I get what you're saying, but here's the thing - The story is somewhat AU, I guess you could say. Like, John is just beginning his work with her. He hasn't quite perfected every aspect of his traps quite yet, y'know what I mean? So, it's sort of a guesstimate on his part.
