Chapter 4
"Welcome!” The man greeted them as they stepped inside. He took his feet off the desk and fixed his position in the chair. “Is it just the two of you? Or is anyone else coming in aswell?"
"No, it's just the two of us." Annie answered.
"Okay, let me just lock the door then." He typed something in on the computer in front of him before he continued. "Please place your belongings in this basket here. You’re not allowed to bring anything inside the challenge area."
Ruby threw her bag into the basket and turned to face Annie, who was in the middle of removing her panties. "Everything?” Ruby asked, turning her attention back at the man behind the desk. “Even our clothes?"
"Everything." The man answered, not even raising his head to look back at her.
Reluctantly Ruby removed her t-shirt and threw it in the basket, leaving them both naked. Even though she had seen Annie almost completely naked ever since she met her, as she had only been wearing her panties the whole time. This was the first time she had seen how she looked without it. Compared to her own almost cleanly shaved pussy, Annie had a bit more hair covering up her more private area. Which wasn’t really surprising, since she had been here for about three months, or maybe she just preferred to keep it like that.
“Alrighty then.” The man started typing on his computer again. “The challenge is ready for you. You will get more information once you go through the door behind me. I’ll send your belongings to the exit room to be given back to you when you are done. Good luck.”
The two of them stepped through the door and entered the challenge room. And the first thing that met them in there were two glass cages in the middle of the room that connected all the way with the roof.
"This is your challenge. Please take your seat in each of the glass cages while i explain the rules" The man in the lobby told them over the speakers. "Inside the cage you will find a controller with a button on it placed on the chairs inside. Once you sit down, take the controller and hold it in your hand.” The two girls made their way in and did as he said. “There will be a total of ten rounds. Should one of you fail four of them, you lose. And every time you do lose a round, something happens in your cage.” Annie and Ruby sat facing each other, both ready to give it their all. “The challenge goes like this. Once you hear the buzz go off, you have to click your button every time you think it has gone ten seconds. You can be one second behind or ahead to be successful. But if you miss by more than that, you lose one round. With that said, get ready for the first buzz. Good luck to both of you!”
BZZZZT!
Ruby closed her eyes as the sound went off and focused on counting the seconds. One... two... three... Each second felt like an eternity, and it didn’t take long before she started to doubt herself. As she got to the count of seven, Ruby clicked her button. She looked over to Annie, nothing had happened in her cage either.
Did we make it? She thought to herself. But then a red light started blinking in both of their cages.
“First round, both of you failed.” The man in the speaker told them. “Remember to stay in your seats or you will be disqualified.”
Ruby looked up only to see a tube come down from the corner of the roof, with water pouring out from it. It wasn’t until it touched her feet that Ruby realized that this would really make it a lot harder than she first thought. The water was extremely cold and rising quickly, before finally stopping as it reached her chest. Shaking from the freezing water, she had to force herself to stay seated on the chair.
“Get ready for the second round!” they could hear him say over the speakers.
BZZZZT!
Counting seconds was a lot harder than she ever could imagine while sitting in icy cold water. Ruby tried a new technique this round by leaning her head from side to side in a steady pace as she counted, before stopping once she had done it ten times. She pressed the button and waited. This time though, only Annie’s cage started blinking and Ruby could feel her heart drop as she watched it. Eight rounds left, and Annie only had two fails to go.
“Second round, Annie fails. Two lives left!”
The water in Annie’s cage started turning brown as Ruby sat and watched. She didn’t know what it was just from looking, but it seemed to smell really bad as Annie had to use the hand not holding the controller to cover her nose. And then, before Annie even had the chance to calm down, the man on the speaker was back.
“Round three coming up!”
