Ryann's POV.
"Come on, get out." Billie says, getting out of the van and pulling me out by my arm. "Stay close to me." She says, gripping my upper arm and my forearm. We walk into a fucking mansion and I look around, taking in my new home. "You are going to be staying with me, but first you have to take the test." She says, leading me into the house and dragging me down a dark hallway. "Okay, we're going to be testing you back to back. So be ready, if you ever feel like you can't do it or your life is in danger, tear off this armband and it will set off an alarm telling us to stop the test. You are going to be tested in this order:
-Strength
-combat (hand to hand)
-weapon combat
-swimming
-running
-climbing
-handling high pressure situationsOnce you're done with the tests, we will give you the results if you passed or not. If you passed I will lead you to yo..I mean our room, if you didn't..then..." she pauses and puts a finger gun to my head, pretending to pull the trigger. "Good luck." She says and she shoved me into a black room, on the table is open finger gloves, one gun with a magazine already in there, another magazine besides it fully loaded. I grab those and look around the table to see if there is anything else, tucking the gun into my belt. I see a bow and arrow, a weird little metal capsule, and a pocket knife. I look at the tiny capsule wondering what it can do before tucking them into my clothing and walking forward. A voice comes on the intercom "first test: Strength. You will have to use your strength to get out of situations. No weapons are allowed, only strength. The test starts in three, two, one, zero." Once the voice says zero the entire room lights up and someone pins me up against the wall with a knife against my neck. I hold onto his arms as his full body weight presses against me, trying to drive the blade into my neck. I push up against him, trying my best to get him off of me. "Awe Billie, you got a weak one. You're wasting our time." He says and my blood starts to boil, did this bitch just....oh hell nah. I kick one of his legs and it collapses under him, letting me get on top of him. I quickly grab the knife and toss it across the room since they don't let me use weapons in this segment. He tries to punch me but I grab his forearm stopping him from knocking my teeth out. I knee him in the stomach and punch him once. He groans as I get off him and walk past a red checkpoint, turning green once I pass it. A voice comes back on the intercom "Section one of the strength test complete." I smirk at myself. "That was easy" I say to myself as I walk forward. "Second half begins in three, two, one, zero" the voice says on the intercom and I feel someone roughly push my backwards, I my arms and legs are tied up with rope and I'm hovered above a tank water. "What the fuck! It's supposed to be only physical strength!" I yell. "Oh yeah, you have to have mental strength also, not panic in situations like this." Someone yells. "Oh my god, fuck you!" I yell, starting to figure out the knot on the rope. My body starts to drop as I get closer and closer to the water, I tug on the ropes and see what type of knot it is. It was a square knot, do people even use these to tie people up? I quickly undo the knot and my head gets submerged into the water, it's only been 10 seconds and pretty soon I'm going to drown. I lift my head up and out of the water, trying to undo the knot at my feet. A couple of seconds of struggling later I got set free and my entire body drops into the water. I swim to the side and sit on the ledge. "Strength test: completed" the voice says.
"Next test, hand to hand combat. Please go to the next checkpoint." The voice says and I get up, wringing out my hair with the towel on the steps. I look around to see another red checkpoint and I drop the towel. Once I pass it it turns green and the voice comes back "Hand to hand combat test, this test will test your ability to defend yourself against threats in the modern world. Once again, you are not allowed to use weapons. The goal of this test is to see how good you are at taking down threats with your body. The test starts in three..." I start to slowly walk forward "two" I walk a little faster "one" I start to run, my legs picking up the pace "zero" I break out into a full out sprint as I see three people come at me. They have masks and are dressed in all black, they surround me and I put my hands up, clenching my fists. "I'm ready for a fight" I say to them, they all come at me, punching and kicking me. "Fuck you." I grunt as I hook them in the nose, I keep on jabbing at them. I've been boxing and doing self defense stuff for about 8 years now so I know how to take out a crowd.
