"One hundred thousand dollars!" I was startled by the outburst that forcibly jerked me from a deep slumber. Although awake and conscious, I was yet to open my eyes.
"Two hundred thousand!" a man's voice I don't recognize hollers immediately following the first outburst. It was then followed by cheers and a lot of noise which, if my assumptions are correct, are mostly male and they are talking above each other. It was so noisy and it was making my head pound.
"Three hundred and fifty thousand." a firm and loud voice says almost immediately.
"Do I hear four hundred thousand dollars? Four hundred thousand anyone, for this sleeping beauty? Eh, Gentlemen?" I was beginning to gather my wits before me. I'm afraid to open my eyes, but I knew I have to. You have to wake up. Wake up! I start to move my arms to wipe the sleep and tiredness from my eye but realized I couldn't move. That's when the fear sets in.
"Four hundred." Another voice said. W-what is happening? I start to feel sore all over my body. I want to cry but I'm afraid how that will cost me. You need to open your eyes, do it now!
At first there was light and it took about a few minutes before my eyes adjust. Oh how I wish they haven't. What I saw was pure horror. I am facing about a hundred men, all with their own expression of hunger in their eyes. And it was directed to me. Some were dressed in suits that looked expensive, and even if they were in simple clothes you'd know they're loaded because who spends almost half a million in purchasing a girl? Some were wearing much simpler clothes. I wanted to run, to get away from their stares but I couldn't move. I must've been drugged.
Upon my awakening, the men cheered and hollered some more as if I were some sort of a caged animal doing tricks. I figured given my current situation, I kinda am.
Despite my fear, instincts kicked in and my eyes surveyed the place looking for possible exits. I don't know how I got here but I need to get out. Now.
I start thinking of where I could be, where is this place located? The place looks kind of fancy and modern so I don't think I'm in the middle of the forest or something. But given the disreputable nature of what they are doing, this must be far from a crowded area. They could have trouble transporting girls if they are. That's assuming I wasn't the only one for sale. I found 7 possible points of exit but I couldn't get to it now that I couldn't move now, could I?
I willed my body to move. But I couldn't. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't do it. I started to lose hope. No. Think. Think. When the drug wears off, you could escape! I don't know when that will happen but I need a plan. I could make a move after I've been sold, that's when I'll probably off whatever they've drugged me with. But if there are other girls here, I need to help them too.
"Five hu-" the doors slamming open interrupted.
Hey you! Yes you, reading this note right now. You are freaking awesome, you know that? Thanks for giving my story a chance. I would really like to give you a hug right now. So enough of my rambling. Okay, so this chapter's kinda short. I promise you, the next one's going to be a lot longer than this. I'll be posting the next chapter when I get feedback. I would LOVE to hear what you think so far! Love you xx
