(Game POV)
Cindy and Jasper walked into the next room still numb about what happened with Sarah, so they didn't even notice when the door slammed behind them, they were just trying to wrap their heads around what was happening now. Cindy shivered as the picture of Sarah's melted body warped into her mind, her confidence was really shaken after seeing something like that.
Jasper seemed to come back to himself quicker as he looked around and squinted as he saw where he was, it looked like somewhere he had been before, he just couldn't place where he had seen it before. It was on the tip of his tongue though.
Cindy took deep breaths before she finally looked up, she was a little weirded out as they appeared to be in a princess bedroom, the room looked like it was designed for a little girl. It was complete with even the walls being painted of a kingdom along with appeared to be a friendly dragon next to a princess with long flowing blonde hair.
"I know I know this place..." Jasper muttered but it was loud enough that Cindy was able to hear making her look over at him.
Before she could open her mouth and say anything chains dropped from the ceiling, the only problem with them is that they each held a hook at the end of them, rusty hooks that made her shiver some. To the side a hiss noise was heard before another plain chain dropped along with a counter that was set for two minutes.
A screen that was hidden suddenly hissed with static before it flickered on showing the same clown mask, "Hello Jasper, as you can probably tell you have been in this room once before, once two years ago while working for the Deigo family. You pride your life on being muscle for some the highest bidders which has led to you more often than not taking a piece of your victims until a price can be paid.
Today you will pay the price and suffer what a victim of yours has faced. The hooked chains in front of you are your only chance at redemption here, while you hang for your crimes the others must hold you afloat as the room slowly fills with poison gas that will kill you all in five minutes if you breath enough of it.
Will you stay afloat saving you all or will your ego cost you it all. Let the game being."
"What the hell?! There is no way you can hold me up!!" Jasper growled as a low hum was heard before a yellow gas was slowly released into the room that they were inside of.
Cindy back away from him when he turned to look at her, she wasn't going to allow him to get the jump on him and kill her like he did with Max at the beginning, she needed to make it out of here. "Well, you need to figure something out, because I will not be going on those chains for you." Cindy said covering her mouth as she coughed from the gas.
Jasper growled lunging for her, moving out the way she avoided him causing him to trip over a ball that was lying on the ground, she jumped on to the bed seeing him scramble to his feet and stare at her hard, "It's either you go up there or we both die!"
Cindy didn't listen though, he had shown his true colors in the beginning, she had no intention of going anywhere near him until he attached himself to those hooks, "And this challenge is for you, now put your killer thoughts to the side and attach yourself to those hooks or we will both die."

(Love and Joe POV)
"What would you do?" Love asked watching as Cindy ran around the room avoiding Jasper, they had already been at if for a minute now.
"That is a hard question honestly, because if they were all still alive or at least one more was still alive then Jasper would be bullied on to the chains. Now that it is just him and her though he will either need to catch her or trust her enough to chain himself up."
Love hummed, "And what would you do if it was me and you in the room?"
Joe paused but shook his head smiling as he kissed the side of her head, "I would put the hooks into me and trust you to hold me up until the time ran out. I could handle a little pain if I had to put my life into your hands."
"Awe!" She cooed as she reached over taking his eyes off the screen as she kissed him deeply.
Joe was stunned at first but then growled and put her into his lap while tangling his hand into the back of her head as he deepened, the kiss, she wanted to play with fire the way she had kissed him making him hot.

(Game POV)
"Damn it woman! We can only survive five minutes in this gas, and you are wasting time by avoiding your fate!" He shouted looking at her menacingly.
Cindy panted holding her arm but glared at him, "Well then get connected, you are supposed to be trusting me here, now do it or I will just let us both die."
What she didn't show was the knife hidden where she wrapped her arm, she was prepared to kill him, if need be, so that this could get done, she refused to die just because he didn't want to be a team player. Jasper growled but coughed as the gas was filling his lungs, he couldn't catch her either as she was too nimble, she was able to avoid his every grab at her.
"Fine." He ground his teeth while removing his jacket and shirt, he knew it was pointless to keep this going if he really wanted to live, and he wasn't going to risk his life like this. Walking to the hooks he took a deep breath before silently screaming as he pulled one through the right side of his chest like a fishhook causing it to stick there.
Cindy watched him as she made her way over to the other chain, when she saw that he had both in she pulled as hard as she could, the moment the chain was pulled down and he lifted from the ground the clock counted down. Jasper's screams were the only thing heard in the room as his torso ripped, she gritted her teeth but let go causing him to fall to the ground.
The moment she let go the timer also paused, she was only able to hold him for fifteen seconds before she had to let him go as her muscles strained, huffing she began to pull again and heard him scream some more. She blocked out the words he screamed at her, her arms shaking she tried to hold him up longer groaning as she did so, her coughing was affecting her, but she tried not to let it.
When the timer reached ten seconds, she couldn't hold it anymore and dropped him, she went into a coughing fit as she bent over, they had been in there long enough that the gas was in her lungs now and she felt horrible. She began to wheeze as her vision blurred, she already had to deal with the loss of blood, and this was no help either.
"God Damn It!!" Jasper shouted blood running down his chest as he stood in the middle of the room also going into a coughing fit, "We have been in here for almost four minutes and there is ten seconds left, Do. Not. Drop. Me. Again!"
Cindy coughed nodding as she huffed one last time before she pulled with everything, she had lifting him into the air, the timer ticked slowly before it finally hit zero and a buzz went off inside the room. She let him drop and rushed towards the door that had been clearly hidden behind the painting of the girl and dragon, she slid into the room and coughed as she slumped against the wall that was near her.
Jasper joined her not to long after also coughing as he sat there, he was no longer full of energy like before and his skin had been torn because of the hooks, which he seemed to rip out so that he could leave faster. They looked at one another as the door closed behind them, they both shuddered as they sat there hoping that this would end soon, they were no longer full of vigor like before.

(Love and Joe POV)
"Huh, I didn't think she would be able to pull it off." Love panted as she had just basically dry humped Joe and was no relaxed against him catching the ending of the challenge.
Joe was just looking wistfully at Love as he stroked her hair, he didn't care if they complete it or not, he had something far better in front of him.
