Note: I'm back. Just so it's out there, people have been suggesting I use like weed and stuff, but the thing is, Hyde needs to be lucid for this. I know it would impose a great handicap on him, but I want him sober for this. Okay, so this idea is from flamingboy511. Thanks so much!

Hyde took several deep breaths before walking into the next room. His jaw was clenched and his eyes looked like they could burn holes through anything standing in his way.

He was surprised when the next door did not open to the ground level of the next room. Instead he was on a landing about 15 feet above the ground. The landing narrowed in front of him into a pathway that lead directly to the door on the other end of the room. The steel-gated walkway was directly over a large pool that was filled from the floor to the very top, slightly submerging the bottom of the walkway. The pool was transparent, so Hyde could see at the very bottom, a bell only kept submerged by a thin piece of string tied to a hook at the floor of the pool. Hyde sighed, thinking this would be the easiest task of all, until he read the instruction card.

Everyone in the cell sat in silence, not daring to speak a word. They had known he was killing a man while he was doing the act, but they did not realize said man was Bud until Hyde moved out of the way and they were able to really focus on the body's face.

Kitty was crying quietly while Donna remained in shock. Jackie had long ago shed all the tears her small body could possibly produce. She could no longer feel her arms and her legs were experiencing the tingling sensation of falling asleep. She shook them until her weary body gave in and allowed her legs to fall into uselessness.

Hyde stripped off his clothes until only his boxers remained. He left his clothes on the walkway before taking several deep breathes and diving into the water with his eyes closed. The water was barely above freezing as his instruction card had warned him. The moment he dove in, he could feel the pieces of glass that also occupied the pool, but were invisible to him in the water.

Hyde could never remember feeling so cold in his life. He barely opened his eyes under water for fear of the glass cutting his eyes. The farther down towards the bell he swam, the redder the water began to turn.

"What the fuck is happening?" Kelso was confused by the transformation of the color of the water Hyde was swimming in.

"The water looks like it's starting to turn red," Eric informed Jackie who held a look of confusion on her face.

"Red? Like blood? But I thought he was just swimming. How is he bleeding?" Jackie questioned.

"Water doesn't make you bleed," Fez stated, like the rest of his friends were crazy for considering that it could be blood.

"Well, duh," Donna said with an annoyed look at Fez. "That's why we're confused. We don't know why he's bleeding."

"It looks like small cuts are forming all over his body," Kitty began to analyze. As she was looking at the TV, she saw through the red in the water, a shape of some sort float threw. "There is something in the water. I can't really see it, but something that is cutting him."

"It's probably glass," Red gave his assumption and everyone else nodded with approval.

"He's swimming through glass?!" Jackie shrieked.

Hyde gripped the bell and pulled, easily breaking the string holding it in place. He turned around and began swimming upward as fast as possible with his eyes closed, still not being able to avoid the mass amounts of glass that filled the pool.

When his head hit air, he opened his eyes and took a giant breath, allowing oxygen into his lungs. He gripped onto the edge of the steel-gate walkway with shaking arms and pulled himself up, out of the water.

For a moment he lay curled in a ball above the pool, his body covered in cuts, shivering. He finally stood up, still shivering, and shook his entire body like a dog in an attempt to be dry. While doing so, the bell rang and he was congratulated on completing the task. After hearing this, Hyde dropped the bell and used his undershirt like a towel. He dried himself off to the best of his ability before putting on his jeans, socks, and boots, and in the end deciding to put his undershirt on once again. He wasn't warm, but he wasn't freezing.

Kitty looked up at her husband next to her, tears pooling her eyes. Her life was saved. Red was the last one left before Jackie's test. They hugged, hoping that Hyde would be able to make it through those last tests as he had the others.

As the temperature of the room rose two degrees, Jackie was still shivering. The temperature was now 55 degrees, but that was still cold when you were naked.

"Almost done," Jackie gave a hopeful smile to her friends in the cell and waited for one of them to tell her what would be happening to Hyde next.

Note: Well, we're almost there. After the tasks are done I may have a prologue. Keep giving me ideas. I need them. Get it. Got it. Good.
