Brody stood in front of the door and waited for it to open, he wasn't a softy but now was the only time he wanted to cry. "Man up" he said to himself as the door opened, heading inside a dark room with small spots lighting up the path on both sides he saw a structure. Brody walked closer and could make up the form of it "Monkey bars? What is this, a playground?!" he shouted to the voice, provoking him.

"You are the sporter of your friends aren't you Brody? So here's your time to show what you got, complete the course. Simple as that". Brody nodded "I can do that! Bring it" he spoke out. The room brightened up, just enough to see how long the course was. It didn't look too bad. Heading towards the monkey bars Brody rubbed his hands together, and stood under the first bar. He looked down and saw a pit, it seemed endlessly deep. He remembered he had a coin in his pocket, he took it out and let it fall down. Waiting for a nod to sound letting him know it hit the ground but it never came. "Oh god. Don't fall" he said to himself. Brody grabbed the first bar but quickly pulled back after a hissing sound.

"What the..!" he said "Those bars are steaming hot!!" Brody didn't count on this, this will make it more difficult. Brody inhaled very deep then manned up and grabbed the bars and started making his way towards the other end, halfway he stumbled upon a small resting place where he could let go for a second. He got a great idea, why doesn't he uses his shirt? After pulling his sleeves up he grabbed the bar and started going forward again, it wasn't that much better but it was bearable. He made it to the end and landed on the ground again breathing heavily. The next obstacle were these vertical stairs. Brody didn't see a problem with these so he started climbing them, he quickly regretted it as he felt a burning heat under him. He looked down and saw... flames! "Oh fudge!" he said as he fastened up his climbing, he reached the top and saw the flames coming closer. Brody had to jump and so he did. Brody jumped off, for a second it felt like he was flying then he hit the ground. He landed on his legs and hurt his right leg but had no time to whine so he stood up and walked to the next obstacle. The next obstacle was a pit filled with water and bars over it so he couldn't come up for air. A deep inhale and splash Brody dived in, he started swimming for his life faster then he ever did and ever imagined he could. He was running out of breath and couldn't see the end yet. He started swimming faster and faster trying everything he could. Brody felt his body getting heavy, he couldn't go for very much longer but then he reached the end and swum up gasping for air as he got out off the water. "Got any more?" he yelled as loud as he could trying to slow down his breathing when suddenly small light flashed on one by one lighting up the path to the next obstacle. Brody followed the lights and arrived at a rope bridge that didn't look steady at all, under the bridge it was all darkness nothing else. Brody carefully stepped on the bridge towards the other side as he reached the middle he heard something... he looked bahind him and saw the bridge falling down on that side, he quickly grabbed a rope on the side and he hit the wall. "Climb up" he said to himself so he did but then saw a figure looking down at him, he knew he couldn't win from that person Brody looked down and up again till he heard a voice "No Brody, don't let go! Come up here". It was Rachel's voice but he knew it wasn't Rachel! Brody let go with one hand then after he let go off the bridge with his other hand and he fell... into the blackness. It seemed like there was no end coming to the blackness till suddenly he hit the ground "Ugh my leg" he said as he stood up. "Wait a minute this seems like where I'm supposed to be". Brody walked to the middle off the room and grabbed the key on the table then headed back to his friends. 

Alex looked at him "Who are you gonna free? Me or Quinn?" he asked.
