Chapter 24
Ruby woke up early that Monday, it was still dark outside so she just relaxed in bed waiting for the sun to come up. She felt the nerves as the tournament grew closer and closer for every passing minute.
Are we really doing this? She thought to herself. Then she heard Kate waking up from the bed above her. "Morning Kate."
Kate let out a few sounds as she stretched out her arms. "Morning..." She replied back in a sleepy voice.
After eating breakfast, Ruby and Kate headed to the exit of the cell block where a guard met them and then guided them to the place where the tournament was going to be held.
Ruby noticed they walked up to the same floor that she was with Kate on her first day. They stopped outside the locker room and the guard turned to face them.
"Get in there and remove everything you have on. Then come straight back out here." The guard said with a strict tone in her voice.
They did as the guard told them, Kate had already explained to Ruby that they probably had to be naked in the tournament, as she had been herself the last time she was in it. Once they were back in the hallway the guard took them to one of the rooms.
"The two of you are team number ten." The guard said. "Now get in there and wait for further instruction over the speakers in your room."
Once inside they could hear the guard lock the door behind them. The room was dark as the lights was off, but they could still see what was in it. In the center of the room they had placed a bathtub, and above it hanging from the ceiling there was several cameras pointing down on it.
"Looks like they wanna bathe us." Ruby said to Kate with a smile. "That can't be so bad?"
"Don't get your hopes up Ruby. If i know anything about this tournament, it's that it's never as easy as it looks.
"So... Do we just get in it?"
"We wait... The guard told us to listen to instructions from the speakers, so let's not jump to anything before we are told to." Kate said as she started to walk to the tub, Ruby quickly followed after her.
They went over to the bathtub to inspect it. It wasn't much larger than a normal tub, so placing two people in it would make for a tight fit.
Then the speakers turned on. "Good morning everyone!" A voice said.
