Chapter 2

I have lost track of how long it has been, but the man has only been feeding me something like a sandwich each time he is here, I had gotten pretty used to the constant schedule but to be honest, I am bored out of my mind, countless times I have tried to count my stands of hair, which to be fair makes me seem like a crazy person but been cooped up in that dark box, who wouldn't be? My body has gotten slimmer now you can see all my bones in my body, and my once was skinny jeans now look like baggy jeans on my legs. The door opened and in stepped the man, but this time he wasn't carrying a glass of water or a plate with a sandwich on it, instead he was carrying a key that looked like it would fit the padlock on the chain, which he tightened up because it got too big for me.

"TV says they have stopped looking for a Kiera Hamalton, and presume she is dead. So time for a road trip!" He said while unlocking my chain, instead of that he got some rope and started to tie my wrists together vigorously. I moaned at the slowly forming red marks the ropes made, I moaned as he lifted me up by my fore-arm, my legs at first couldn't even walk but I was relieved when we got up the stairs and was walking through a lightly lit room, I was so glad that I could see natural light when we got out the back door and there was a black sedan with tinted windows right outside the door, I half expected him to throw me in the trunk that you see on the movies but no, the passenger side door was open and he popped me in there. Once he was in and made sure the doors were locked, (I don't get that, and I could hardly walk how he would expect me to run?) he started the car and we drove off.

The drive was silent and I must have nodded off while we were on the motorway because when I was woken by the car stopping, I looked around and there was just a barn in front of us, a lot of cars were parked outside along with us, I wondered how many slaves was here, like how many vampires as well, he climbed out of the car and came around to my side to get me out, he led me by the arm towards the doors, when they opened we saw a massive crowd standing in front of a small stage, and on that stage were 3 other girls, huddled together as far away as the crowd at possible, one even had a gag tied around her mouth. I gulped suddenly nervous about this, but I was still getting led by the arm towards the stage, once I was stood on it the man left me and I went to stand with the other girls for some sort of comfort, they looked like they all were from Canada, I felt like the odd one out because they looked tanned and like they are from rich families, who spoilt them rotten. But me, I was pale and came from a family who hated me.

"Hey, let me tell you something." The girl next to me whispered in my ear, "Try to impress the older looking vamps, they don't kill you the minute you get in their car, they usually have some fun before you get drained" I looked at her wide eyed, yep she was defiantly sounded Canadian. She giggled at me "What you never heard how good vamp sex is?" I frowned at her then remembered we were on a stage in front of lots of people, I instantly got stage fright and looked down at my feet, making sure my hair covered my face, I heard a couple of people laugh at my actions but it didn't bother me that much.

Then someone on the Edge of the stage started speaking, "Welcome all, we have some nice well-behaved girls here. Well hopefully anyway." A lot of people in the room chuckled and he begun to speak again "Our first seller is Annabelle Keeler," He took the far side girls hands and twirled her around. Then let go of her and moved to the girl who was gagged, "Here we have Zoe Persly." He twirled her around and you could see the disgust on his face, dropped her hands then moved onto the girl next to me. "Jade Marton, everybody." He twirled her around while he did that she smiled at all the vampires, he dropped her hands and moved on to me, he smiled at me and said quietly under his breath, "Pretty thing you are." Then spoke up, "Kiera Hamalton everybody! She just looks good enough to eat." He spinned me around but when he stopped I dropped my head again hoping this thing would get over with and I would die today. Instead of going back to the beginning to call out names he started on me. " Who has an offer for Kiera?" He looked around at the few arms up stretched and pointed to an old looking man. I turned off then, all hope gone out of me; I didn't even hear the man's footsteps come across the stage, only his cold hand gripping me lightly on the arm.

When we got into the car park I was led around to the back where a black limo was parked. I looked up at the man in surprise but he just grinned and opened the door for me. I slid in before him and played with the ropes binding my wrists. "Want me to get them off you?" I looked up and solemnly nodded. In response he snapped the ropes. I rubbed my wrists but couldn't help but ask,

"Are you going to kill me?"

His expression was shocked, "Heavens no! I'm not into this slave trade business."

"Why do you want me then?"

"I don't, I have a mate, but my son, he likes having a beating heart around, and I think it's good to tame him, so in future he can control himself when around humans, he also has no interest in our women, but I have never asked him why."

"What will your son do to me?"

"Anything I guess." He just shrugged.

I stayed quite when the car set off.
