“P-please. I wasn’t going to kill her.” Her voice breaks like glass.

I don’t flinch. I have no pity. The bitch tried to end me.

“Weapons are forbidden. You broke the rules. Now you must pay the consequences.” His voice is like gravel and steel, thick with an American drawl, distorted by the mask stretched over his face.

I scramble backwards, watching in horror as he grips her and drags her into the darkness.

As soon as they vanish, I bolt for the cabin, fingers trembling as I fumble with the flashlight.

Then her screams cut through the night.

A gunshot follows.

And my entire body turns to ice.

My breath staggers. My bones quake. This isn’t a twisted prank or some sadistic simulation. This isreal.

I yank the key from my bra, shoving the flashlight between my lips, hands shaking so badly I nearly drop it. The moment the lock clicks and the door swings open, a wave of relief slams into me so hard I almost sob.

But that relief dies the second the light flickers on.

Another man stands in the corner of the room.

Massive.

Silent.

Just like the guy from outside.

His black t-shirt stretches over stacked muscle, arms relaxed at his sides—but his pistol is gripped, visible and ready. His face is hidden behind a matte black mask, and his dark eyes drill into mine, unblinking.

My feet are locked to the floor.

To the left, a steel bath glistens, packed with ice. To the right, a narrow wooden structure—like a sauna, barely big enough for one. Center of the room: a table. On it, a deep green box and a white envelope, clean and waiting.

My legs carry me forward before I tell them to.

I lift the lid.

My breath stutters.

Inside, a slim green wearable vibrator. Next to it, a butt plug and a small tube of water-based lube.

“What the fuck…” I whisper.

Glancing at the guard, he hasn’t moved. He’s just watching. Does he expect to watch meusethem? Or worse…make me?

I swallow back the nausea clawing up my throat and shove the box aside, ripping open the envelope with trembling fingers.

Welcome to Cabin Six.

Here, your challenge is to survive the extremes. If you look up at the wall, you’ll see a timer. Every element of this challenge is timed. First you must insert both toys to start the games.

Remember, this isn’t just about staying alive. It’s about being able to get off on survival.

These have remote access. I will know if they have been put in correctly. Don’t try and beat the system. The punishment will be elimination.

Once you have completed that, you are required to do the Ice Bath Challenge first.
