Chapter Two "Sold"
The human woman stood silently and impatiently in the hall waiting for Luscious' signal to enter, as the buyers came in crowds into the large ball room like room.
Men scattered around the room that looked human, but she could smell that they were not normal. When the door opened for the girls to come out, she noticed, still sitting comfortably in her seat that they were all different types of demons, vampires, and werewolves, and other creatures, in their human forms.
After a short moment of making sure all the girls were in place standing by the wall, Luscious looked at her with a death glare, and she stood up straightening herself out, and quietly walked over to the wall with the others and studying the walls with their magnificent paintings surrounded by black walls, while saying "I want me out of this place just as much as you do.."
He nodded his head, and mumbled a "sure..." and then went to stand on a stage, and began to speak into a microphone.
"Welcome, my lords." He glanced around the room, studying the faces he knew, and those he didn't, and then went on, "I'm glad you have come. My Master and I have a large selection of humans for you to purchase, bid your price and the highest price gets the slave…"He trailed off, knowing that they all knew what he was talking about.
He pointed to the first girl in the line, a short blonde girl no more then fifteen with big blue eyes, and she began to walk up to the stage through the crowd.
Once she was beside him, Luscious set the bit at two hundred dollars, and began to sell her off at the highest price he could get.
Dread looked to the crowd, and wrinkled up her nose in disgust, who can actually spend they're money on useless humans, she thought, as her dark eyes roamed around the room once again. She seen Luscious put a collar on the girls neck, and handed the leash to a group of vampires.
All of a sudden she heard her name being called from the front, and she slowly walked over, keeping her head down, and her thoughts locked in the back of her mind, it's not like I'm not stronger then everyone in the room, they can't read my thoughts, she thought as she silently chuckled to herself, trying to keep the fact that she was not a normal human hidden, because she wanted to leave this place.
When she stepped onto the stage, her book still in hand, she tried to act as human like she could manage, under the watchful eyes of the bidders.
The green man set a fairly low bid, and she was surprised that quite a few of the creatures brought the bit quite high.
Her eyes watched all the bidders raise their crummy hands, and yell out an amount of money. Watching them in all their disgusting forms, smelling the stench come off of them like sweat.
Almost out of her vision she saw a young man, pale white skin, with black hair resting lightly upon his shoulders, and yellow eyes glowing from under the shadow of his hair. He was different from the rest, sitting in a chair; his head raised and looked right in her black pits of eyes.
Suddenly she heard a voice in her mind, "do you want me to bid for you? Or would you rather be a slave to one of these things…"
The man she was looking as waved his hand around as she heard this said, and she mentally replied "What are you?" She asked, and then continued "you don't want me; you don't even know what I am."
He shook his head, his long hair shifting slightly, and then a small smile appeared on his head, "your right about that, I have no idea what you are, care to tell?"
She heard a bid and then a long silence, knowing the fat man in a lime green suit was going to buy you if no one spoke up. Her eyes looked pleadingly at the man, whom she was talking to in her thoughts.
Yet another moment of silence passed before she seen him do anything, he arched as eyebrow, and said to her in her mind "well?"
"Make a bid, and I'll tell you later." She answered in a quickened pace, and looked into his eyes, and barely seen him to it, but knew he had nodded.
In the next second, he had stood up, and called out a bid that was about five hundred dollars more then the bid the man in the lime green suit had set.
Everyone in the room looked at him, making small comments that Dread didn't miss, and then she listened to their disgusting thought, all sating things like, "why he would put such a high price on a stupid human?", "Why does he want her so bad?", she almost laughed as she heard this, knowing that she knew much more then them, much, much more, she thought, as she looked back at the dark man.
Luscious looked skeptical for a moment, and then dismissed the thoughts he was having, slammed down is wooden stick, and yelled, almost happily, "SOLD!"
He looked over at her, and whispered with a demented smile, "I guess I finally got rid of you, eh?", while he grabbed black leather leash and collar with spikes, and put the collar around her neck.
After he had attached the leash, he handed it to the man standing in front of Dread, that bought her just a few minutes ago, and he led her to the exit.
