A Test of Trust

(Wattpad kept removing the tag for some reason, sorry)

Jesse had no idea where she was. It was a room of some sorts, it was cold and dark. She couldn't see the walls, but she knew they were there. Every time Jesse put her hands out, she could've sworn the walls were getting closer.

Jesse pulled her knees up to chest, wrapping her arms around them. It felt a little awkward with her armour on, but she didn't care. Anything so she didn't have to feel the walls closing in on her.

The red glow from the gauntlet slightly illuminated Jesse's face in the dark, being the only source of light in the tiny room.

Honestly, Jesse preferred the gauntlet a lot better when it was still blue. But the moment she broke the clock, and the Admin declared her his new champion, it changed colours completely. Jesse wasn't sure what it meant, but she had a feeling it wasn't going to be good.

Just thinking about it brought all those awful memories back. Jesse closed her eyes, resting her head on her knees.

She remembered the horrifying shock of Vos turning into the Admin right in front of them. How he "congratulated" her for completeling his challenge, announcing that she was now his champion.

She had tried to fight it, she refused to join him, only to have an invisible grip tighten around her throat, so tight it was hard to breathe. She remembered Petra and Jack yanking out their weapons, only for the Admin to destroy their weapons on sight.

He had lifted Jesse high up into the air, out of reach for her friends. She remembered Jack and Petra calling out her name. Then, everything went black.

And now here she was. Jesse woke up in the small room, completely alone and understandably, afraid.

Jesse shivered slightly, hugging her knees tighter. She wondered where her friends was, whether the Admin had hurt them or let them go. She didn't care what he was going to do to her, as long as they're OK.

Fresh tears brimmed Jesse's eyes. She bit her lip, trying to fight them back.

"I thought you were stronger than this, Champion."

Jesse's head jolted up. There he was, right in front of her. The Admin. The bright yellow pupils of his eyes glowed in the darkness.

Jesse scrambled backwards until her back met the wall, her breath racing. She didn't have any weapons, she was absolutely defenceless against the Admin.

"Now, now, don't be scared." He said, in a somewhat taunting voice. "You're my partner now, I won't hurt you."

"I would never join you." Jesse said through gritted teeth.

The Admin threw back his head, laughing. It was a sound that sent shivers down Jesse's spine.

"You won't, eh? We'll just have to see about that."

With those words he disappeared again, leaving behind nothing but a few floating purple particles.

Jesse could feel her heart thudding about in her chest. What was he going to do to her?

Jesse pulled her knees up to her chest again, trying to calm herself down. Fresh tears rolled down her face, dripping onto her armour.

All she could do, was hope. Hope that somehow, some way, her friends were coming to rescue her.

---------------------------

Jesse wasn't sure how long she was in there. It felt like days were passing, and slowly she started to loose all hope that her friends were coming to help her.
