Wow, first of all I just want to say THANK YOU SO MUCH for all the support on the First Ask Masterlist! Obviously I had to make a second one with all the asks I’ve answered since then so here you go. As last time, some of these posts have notes from lovely people who have added onto my answers with their advice and you can also help out fellow writers by adding your tips or ideas to the posts in the replies or by reblogging.

The Principal had kept his promise. He had tried to break Liv every moment he could.
But she wasn’t going to let him.
It had been days of tests. From being left alone to being followed every second of the day, from climbing to fighting. He wasn’t letting anything stop him.
To be honest, it was wearing on her.
Maybe if I just give in it will all be over. She thought to herself.
She shook her head and pushed the thought aside. She would never let him win.
Her door clicked open, and two guards entered the room. Class time. She held out her wrists, and they clamped the shackles around them. They all walked down the hallway.
She thought they were heading towards the gym when they started going a different way.
“Where are we going?” She asked, turning to the guard on her left.
Both guards stayed silent as they kept walking through the facility.
They went up two flights of stairs before arriving in front of a door. The guard on her right opened the door and pushed her inside.
Liv stumbled and found herself face to face with the Principal.
He smiled at her and unlocked her shackles. “Welcome to your test.”
Liv rubbed her wrists as she glared at him.
“Where am I?”
“You don’t recognize this place?”
Liv looked around the room and noticed that they were standing on a catwalk above the gym, but something was off. She moved to the edge of the catwalk and looked down.
The Principal walked behind her and put his hand on her shoulder. “Do you like the changes?”
Liv just stared. The entire room was filled with water. The two-story gym filled with water. Her heart started to race.
She tried to back up, but The Principal grabbed her by the shoulders and kept her in place.
“Interesting.” He pushed her closer to the edge. “It seems that our brave student is scared of water.”
“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about.” Her voice sounded shakier than she wanted.
Her heart started to beat out of her chest, as she stared at the water.
The Principal took a step back. “Then show me. Jump in and swim to the bottom. If you don’t,” he let out a quiet laugh, “then you have to promise to trust me. Just like Conner does.”
Liv turned and glared at him. He just smiled and motioned to the water. She turned back around.
Come on. I can do this. She thought to herself.
But she just stood there. She couldn’t get herself to move. She wanted to turn and run, but her legs wouldn’t let her. So she just stood there, staring at the water.
Why can’t I do this? She could have blamed it on the multiple tests or the sleep deprivation, but she knew it was fear.
Tears started to form in her eyes. She tried to wipe them away, but her arms wouldn’t move. She just stood there for what felt like an hour, until the Principal grabbed her shoulders and pulled her away from the edge.
“You can’t do it.” He said trying to hide his smile. “That means you have to promise that you will trust me.”
The exhaustion set in, and Liv didn’t want to fight it anymore.
“I promise.” She said looking down at her feet.
The Principal grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him.
“Promise what?” He had stopped trying to hide his smile.
Liv tried to look away, but his grip just tightened.
Too tired to fight she looked right at him, “I promise to trust you.”
He smiled and let go of her chin. He motioned to one of the guards standing by the door, and they put the shackles back on her wrists.
Feeling broken she let them guide her back to her cell as tears streamed down her face.
I’d never, ever hurt a lady but I’d be happy to punch a feminist. It’d bring me great joy.
