Jessica's PoV
We were being moved through a long line of rooms which were formed in the same way as a prison. There were dozens of people locked in these cells, however most of them were empty. We moved through them and saw people holding the bars and pulling their heads close, trying to see who the newest captives were. Some were even whistling at me, probably because of what I was wearing. Then when we reached the end of the room, Reaver's thugs forced me, Jasmine, Jaymos and Sharmia into a cell.

When they left Jasmine and Sharmia started talking. But I wasn't really listening because I was thinking more about that girl, Jynx, Reaver's daughter. Reaver abused his own daughter and she was completely fine with it. She must be use to it. Then my thoughts were broken when we heard what sounded like fighting. We looked through the bars and saw that Jynx was getting kicked around by two Corgain brutes. One of them was beating her and the other was holding her minigun. When they were done they threw her minigun down next to her and left. She then got up and sat on a table in front of a mirror that was opposite our cell. As she was tampering with her gun, I decided to talk to her as Jasmine and Sharmia were talking about how they wanted to kill Reaver.
"Hey, are you ok?" I asked her

"Hmm? Yes, Jynx is fine" she didn't lift her head up to face me

"Well it's just that those guys were beating you"

"Yes, but it's okay, Jynx deserves what she gets"

"What makes you think that?"

"Because Jynx needs to learn obedience, and daddy says pain is the best way to learn obedience" she says, still looking down at her gun "pain means obedience, obedience means good Jynx and good Jynx means happy daddy"

"Yeah, but isn't there anything that you want to do yourself without being told to do it?"

She then lifted her head up and looked at me. I saw the black eye on her face but I ignored it when she walked up to me.
"Well there is one thing Jynx wants to do..."

She then hopped up and was hanging off the bars by her hands and feet, similar to how a monkey would. She then pulled her head close to me and spoke.
"Jynx wants to fuck you" she grinned as she looked at the catsuit I was wearing

"Uhh..I have a girlfriend"

"She doesn't need to know about Jynx"

Then before she came any closer, Jasmine's fist shot between the bars and sent Jynx flying back into the table. She then rolled up under the table in a way that would make sure that she was as far away as possible from Jasmine.
"Back off you bitch!" Jasmine threatened

"Only bitch here is you" Jynx said, still under the table

"Well at least my dad wanted me" she said, although I didn't understand what she meant

"That's not true!" Jynx came out from under the table "daddy loves Jynx!"

"Yeah but new flash, Reaver is a Harihu meaning if you were really his daughter then you would have purple or red eyes" Jasmine spat at her

I knew what she meant now. Harihu have either purple or red eyes, but Jynx had green eyes. Jynx turned to the mirror behind her and made the realisation: Reaver wasn't Jynx's biological father.
"What?...no, that...can't be!" She shouted "Jynx is so stupid!"

She then began punching the mirror. She completely smashed up the mirror and then began smacking her head against the wall, not in rage, because we could hear her sobbing as she did it. She then slumped down against the table, crying to herself. Even Jasmine was shocked by her sudden outburst. She then began mumbling things to herself.
"Jynx is so dumb...no one loves Jynx...Jynx has no friends...Jynx should just die" she rocked back and forth

Feeling sorry for her, I then stood forward and said "that's not true...if you want, I'll be your friend"

She then looked up and I could see her bloodshot eyes "r-really? Even after Jynx wasn't obedient?"

"Friends aren't obedient to each other" I said "and yes, I'm sure"

She then shot up from the floor and thought for a second "Jynx needs to repay your kindness"

"No, you do-"

"Jynx will be right back"

She then threw her minigun onto her back and ran off. Jasmine sighed and turned me around to face her.
"She's off her fucking head" she pointed out "and you just befriended her"

"I'm sure I can help her get better"

I then turned around and watched the silhouette of Jynx run off down the hallways...
