The Auction
The young teenager sprinted down the alleyway in hopes to escape. Panting and running as fast as she could go. But monster kept getting closer.
The young prey dared look back at her pursuer. Panic struck as she realized what it was. She had to get away right now! Why would nothing work to get away? What sort of magic was this?
The monster with glowing yellow and red eyes roared and screeched as it burst forward into a boost speed and swerved in front of it's prey so she couldn't get away. A second monster came and blocked the other way too.
Their riders got off their beasts and surrounded the girl with the fire sticks that hurt the heart and took life from one before it's time came.
"Get on your knees!" One shouted. "Do it now or we'll shoot!"
'Shoot' was all the girl needed to hear before she got on both knees and put her hand s over her head to stop the noise of the stick from hurting her ears again.
"Good girl." She knew that voice, it was always with her. Ever since she was born, the voice with no mouth haunted her mind with words of the human's languages.
"I am sorry." She said to them in seven different, main languages, she didn't know which one they spoke.
"I want them to take you. Let them do what they want." The girl's eyes widened and her mind swirled with so many questions. But she was never to disobey her voice.
"Yes master."
"Wrap her up tight. That one is worth more then we'll make for the rest of the year." The one from before instructed… Japanese was the language… hadn't she just been in home in the US a few hours ago? She remembered the ground leaving from the flying monster that squealed as it soured through the sky and then crashing in the big salt water. Then when she asked for human help, they started chasing her. What had she done wrong?
"Make sure those pretty little ankles get tied up good and tight. We don't want our little devil getting away." Everyone uttered with agreement as the task was complete. "Good, now load her up! Time for the show to start."
All went black as a cloth was placed around the victim's eyes and then the roars of the monsters started again. Hours passed (at least it seemed like hours)and finally the light was restored. She was surrounded by teenagers and children of all different ages. All of them had something about them that wasn't human. This made them Devils. That is what the ones with monsters called them. And that is what the voice with no mouth had always called our Victim.
But these weren't Devils, they were experiments. Some successful, some not so much. But they all were inhuman.
"Get in line!" The one shouted loud enough that all the Devils stopped what they were doing and rushed to get behind one another. Devil was pushed in between two other Devils and was told to not make any trouble when they cut the binding rope.
"This is it kidos! You've all been waiting for this since the day you were created. Your to find a master. But you will stay silent, healthy looking, and above all silent!" Devil wondered if the one had noticed he said "to remain silent" twice, but decided not to speak.
"Yes sir!" the room echoed with young voices from those who could talk.
"Good. I need subjects a-1 through A-0238 up and out." About fifty kids ran for the exit and didn't come back. Devil wondered what was going on.
"You'll see soon enough my dear Devil."
"Subjects b-789 through D-98" Another hundred or so left without coming back, leaving Devil with about four other kids around her.
"You six are the special auction. So I need you to be the best of good. Understand?"
The other four nodded and stood straighter then before. And just then about twenty people burst through another door and crowded around them all. Devil thought for sure they were going to kill them, but instead, they petted them. And they stroked their skin and checked their teeth and other places too.
They all then stepped back and observed quietly.
"Let's start with the bid of 3 thousand yen." The one presented a girl next to Devil that had a tail and red hair.
"What is her ability?" Someone questioned.
"Forget ability!" Wait… Devil knew that voice!
"I'll take all five for 15 billion yen." A tall, lean, mid-aged man stepped forth from the crowd and held his hand up.
Jaws dropped. Even the kid's did. That sounded like a lot of money.
"Uh… anymore bets?" The one was shocked, but utterly pleased at the bet and was curious if someone would go higher.
"No more bets?… going once… going twice… sold to Mr… pardon, what's your name?"
"Charley N. Fangstien. I'll take them now and leave." He snapped his fingers and the door opened again. Four men with different cages came in.
This world just kept getting more and more ridiculous by the second.
If this sound's bad in the beginning, that's because I need these scenes or these characters are just popping out from nowhere and I need a slight back round to make sure that it makes enough sense for the next chapters. The next chapter will be better I promise. The chapter after that is what you'll be wanting to read so badly you might even say please!
