When Erin had finally woken up, rather than her being in a white room, right now she was in a pitch-black room and couldn’t see anything. A soft fabric was felt covering her eyes, so she assumed she was blindfolded.
"Looks like you’re awake." A male voice said from behind. The sound was different from when they were in the white room, so she could assume she had been moved. She also recognised the voice, although the man didn’t speak much. She could tell it was the same man who was with her before, James.
The soft fabric that was covering her face had been removed; still, her eyesight remained almost pitch black. Whatever room they were in, there wasn’t a single spark of light. It was clear they were either testing her or still didn’t trust her.
There were always rumours going around about how crazy members of Pure were, although Erin didn’t outright believe them as the news reports would be clearly biased, but after a few first impressions of arriving at the base, she was beginning to agree with what she had heard.
The only thing that was keeping her going was the fact that Layla, who was also a member of Pure was such a kindhearted person.
’Did she go through the same thing?’ Erin thought. The last room Erin was in it was torture for her. After spending just 20 minutes, she could feel her mind starting to crumble, but she held on for as long as she could.
The room was there for a reason, and it was clear it wasn’t made just for her. It might have even been used for training their own members. If Layla too had gone through something like that, Erin was starting to change her opinion of Layla being weak.
She could imagine a regular person only lasting about fifteen minutes. However, truthfully she had no clue how long she had spent in there. When in the room, a second felt like a minute.
Although she couldn’t see anything, she felt that her arms seemed to be strapped down and her back was upright. She was sitting on some kind of chair. The sound of James shuffling around and moving could be heard, and he seemed to be sticking on a sticky substance over different parts of her body.
"Don’t worry too much, this is a normal procedure for everyone who comes to us for the first time," James said. "As long as you tell us the truth, you will be all okay."
The sound of another chair shuffling forwards was heard, and James was now sitting directly opposite Erin in the dark room.
"I just need you to answer me some simple questions, all you need to say is yes or no. Understand?" James asked. frёewebηovel.cѳm
Clearly, Erin was in no position to give snappy answers, so rather than snap back like she usually would, she complied.
"Yes," Erin replied.
*Ding
The sound of a machine to her right made a bell-like sound.
"You are Erin Hayley correct?" James asked.
"Yes."
Once again, the ding sound was heard.
"18 years old."
"No"
*Ding
"Female?"
Before answering this time, Erin paused slightly.
"No."
*Ding, *Ding.
This time the machine had rung twice instead of once.
