Came up with this like 10 minutes ago and thought what the heck, might as well add another story to my suffering. I know what you're thinking: Danny you haven't even finished your other stories. Well, what I have to say to that is... you're right, I'm so sorry.

"Mr. Masters you are such a handsome man and your taste in clothing I find it simply breathtaking."

"Not as breathtaking as you my dear."

Vlad liked calling this his schmoozing hour. Where he found himself having to sweet talk just about every woman in the room without meaning a single thing. He had to stay on top with the other nobles, did he not? He had a wife, but she mattered very little to him since they only married for power and support. Madeline was an impressive and intelligent woman, yet there was nothing Vlad could see in her that made him want her. The feeling was mutual considering the fact the Maddie had her eyes on another man named Jack Fenton, but unlike Vlad, he was powerless and not very wealthy. Even so, she still seemed to love him regardless. Vlad on the other hand preferred men and in this society being with the same sex is punishable by death. It's not the likelihood of getting killed that made Vlad not take on male partners, it was simply that he never found many men whom he could ever want to be with. All of them seemed so dull and boring, just like all the women who were shallow and arrogant, he could never find interest in a single one. It's not to say that he hasn't slept with many men, on the contrary he has much experience on that field, but he could never stay interested enough to be with them for long periods of time without getting bored.

"Attention everyone!" It seemed to be time. "The auction will begin soon, so please take your seats."

"Get him!" Two men dive in trying to tackle the raven haired boy. "Don't let him escape! You're all dead if you let that little rat of a slave escape!" The boy flings himself away in time and was able to get up before the other men. He finally managed to pick his way through the lock of his little cage and he sure as hell wouldn't be going back without a fight. He heard more foot steps coming closer to him and if he didn't make it out of that abandoned warehouse soon he'd be too out numbered to make his escape. Just as he was able to grasp the door handle, the door opens revealing a very muscular man with a dyed green mohawk.

"Skulker! Get him!"

"You got it boss." Before he had a chance to get out of the way Skulker throws the bag he has down to grab the boy and turn him to get him in a choke hold. The man who was barking out orders starts walking closer, chuckling.

"Now Danny, you have to be a good boy. You're going up for sale soon and we wouldn't want any slashes or bruises on your pretty little face now." He brings his palm up to stroke Danny's cheek.

"Fuck you, Walker!" Just as Danny was about to spit on his face, Skulker puts more pressure on his shoulder and Danny cries out instead.

"I don't appreciate that tone." Grinning, Walker gives a signal with the snap of his hands to which Skulker replies by giving Danny over to the other man, Vortex, walking over to his bag and getting out a human muzzle for the boy.

"Stay still little pup, wouldn't want to have to hurt you."

"Trust me, it's too late to say that now you son of a b-" Skulker grabs the teens face and forces the leather contraption on his face. Unable to talk, Danny lets out a muffled cry because he knew he had failed. He failed his sister, Jazz, who died trying to protect him and he failed himself for not being able to escape.

"Let's give you a little something to help you relax." Walker pulls out a needle with a mysterious liquid on it and injects it into the arm being held still by Vortex. After a few moments Danny fell unconscious and was put back into his slave cage, finally being shipped off to the slave auction.

"Vlad, sweetheart, are you planning on getting a slave today?" Maddie whispers to her husband as they take their seats up front.

"Yes, I plan on using them for my ecto-experiments."

"Using human samples?"

"Exactly."

"But wouldn't that be painful for the poor creature."

"Madeline, my dear, that's the reason why I'm using a slave, I don't care about their feelings and I wouldn't be punished by law since they are only objects."

"I don't know..."

"Don't worry, slaves are only objects to be used and they know it."

"All right, ladies and gentlemen! Time to bring out the merchandise. First up is..."

"Time to stay silent, the show is about to begin." Maddie throws Vlad an uneasy look, she has always hated keeping slaves because unlike her husband, she believed they were human too. Not something to be bought, they were lives to be protected!

"Uuugh" Why was his head hurting so much? Not only that, his limbs weren't feeling so hot either. What happened? Where...oh...right I didn't escape like I promised Jazz I would. Danny has been a slave his whole life since his mother before him was too. Samantha Manson was put into slavery after her family went bankrupt at age 14. She had two children and a husband who died from exhaustion when Danny was 2. Soon after Sam died from a disease that her masters refused to waste money on curing. Danny's sister was beaten to death when she shielded Danny from getting whipped when he stole an apple because he was hungry. His life was a hell hole and Danny wasn't anything but tired. He's too tired to fight back and now he just sits in his cramped cage waiting for his inevitable fate.

"Time to get up slave freak." Danny knew that voice too well, Spectra. She was a constant nightmare in his life. She would starve and beat Danny to near death for nearly most his life now. It seems her and her husband, Walker, have finally decided to sell him off. "Time to make me some money."

Waiting for nearly half an hour, Danny is finally told he's up. Shackled and bound he walks up onto stage and let's the announcer man do his thing.

"Age 16, black hair and blue eyes..." The voice begins to fade away from him as he locks eyes with a silver haired man. After a while of simply starring at one another Danny sees him smirk and raise the small sign he's holding with the number one. Suddenly, Danny can hear once again and realizes the bidding has begun.

"-thousand. Going once, going twi-"

"$10,000"

"15,500"

"$18,000"

"$24,200"

Slowly the numbers kept rising and rising until the man Danny had been looking at stopped everything.

"$100,000"

"$100,000 going once, going twice...Sold! This concludes the auction."

He had just been bought and Danny felt the dread that was building up hit him like a semi-truck.

Vlad only chose him because out of all the slaves that were shown tonight the boy seemed to look the healthiest. He looked more fit out of the rest of the bunch to withstand the experiments Vlad was planning on doing. Hopefully, this one didn't die as quick as the last one. He was a boy named Tucker who died just after a month of being in Vlad's care, maybe this one will be different?
