Chapter 36
When Ruby got back out from the stall, she shook her head to Kate signaling that she didn't get the key. Ruby didn't stop to take a break, but instead rushed over and entered the next one. Again it was a naked man in a chair, only this man was much better looking than the last guy. He looked like he was in his twenties, a slim but muscular body and with a soft cock hanging between his legs as he sat there with his legs slightly spread.
"Hi." Ruby said once she had closed the curtain behind her. "Do you have a key or a challenge for me?" Expecting the same routine, she waited for him to take out the envelope from behind the chair. Looking down where his hands where, Ruby could also see his cock growing ever larger and harder as he had his eyes locked onto her naked body, this guy didn’t say anything either.
He did as she thought and held out an envelope for her.
Ruby reached out for it, but it was a lot heavier that the old one so she accidentally dropped it from her hand and it fell to the floor. She quickly bent over to pick it up and opened it. To her big surprise she could see a key inside of it. "Thank you! Thank you so much!" She screamed at the man in the chair before rushing back out to Kate. "I got it! I got the key!"
Kate jumped down from the table she was sitting on and held the other key up, now with a big smile on her face. "Good fucking job!” She shouted back. "Let's hurry the fuck back, and see if we still got a chance for the final!"
They returned to the room they started in, and was met by the guard waiting inside. Ruby handed over the keys and waited to hear their results as the guard checked in over her radio.
"It seems the two of you are the first to deliver your keys, congratulations for reaching the finals! Now come with me so that we can get you ready for the finals." The guard didn't give them any time to celebrate together before escorting them out of the room.
They arrived back at the main stage and both of them got told to stand to the right side of the host until the other team arrived.
Around ten minutes later, the second team arrived. Caitlyn and Chelsea walked into the room behind their guard, happy and cheerful, just like Ruby and Kate for reaching the final round. They lined up on the other side of the host and the lights turned off all around the room, except for the light that shone on the host on his podium.
The host gave a quick cough before adjusting the microphone closer to himself. “Welcome back everyone! We are finally ready to begin the final round of the twenty-fifth edition of Path to Freedom. To my right, we have our first finalists. You have already voted them as your favorite team on our online poll. Please welcome, Ruby and Kate!”
The lights suddenly turned on again and hit both of them head on. They had to squint their eyes to get used to the lights again. The host came down before them and handed them both a necklace with a key hanging from it. They both put it on while the host got back up on his podium.
“And to my left side, as the third place winners of the fan favorite poll, we have the second finalists. Please welcome, Caitlyn and Chelsea!”
The host gave the two of them a necklace aswell, and once he got back up on the podium again he continued his speech. “Now, please let me introduce the the final round of this tournament!”
The lights went out again, before turning on all the way at the back of the stage. The wall started to rise up, and a set of four doors was revealed behind it.
“For this final round, each contestant will choose her own door, and each team will have two doors to choose from. Both of the doors for each team will have the same challenges, so that there is no difference in difficulty. The first door will have the slowest tasks, but they will also be the easiest. The second door will be a lot faster, but only if you manage to complete the much harder tasks.” He took a pause to let everyone understand the rules before continuing.
“Once a contestant have entered a door, she will have to do three tasks. Once those are completed, she will end up in a final room with a door with two locks. This is where their keys will come into play. Once both members of a team reaches this room, they can unlock the final door and finish the competition. The first team to exit this final door will be the winners of this tournament!” He paused again and pointed both his arms towards the two teams. “Now i want both teams to go to your own sets of doors and decide between yourself, which member that will go through which door.”
Ruby and Kate got to their doors and Ruby didn’t hesitate to volunteer for the hardest door. “I’ll do the hard door Kate, unless you want it?”
“Sure, i'll do the easy one, just make sure you manage to do your tasks, i’ll do mine as quickly as i can. I just want to get out of this fucking place.” Kate said and reached out her hand. "See you on the other side!"
Ruby accepted the handshake. “Let’s win this!”
