Hello everyone out there, thank you for the amazing reviews. I am so glad you all still like my story. I love everyone who reads and everyone who reviews. You guys all rock. Well I hope you like this chapter. I will stop blabbering now and let you get to the story.
Serenity was walking around the grounds alone after dinner. It may have been cold but she had been feeling cooped up and wanted to get out. There was a thin layer of snow on the ground caused by the light snowfall. It had been snowing since about six thirty.
Serenity was still wearing what she had gone into town with but she was now wearing a much thicker cloak with a hood. She looked like a princess out of a dark fairy tail. The way the black cloak lined with red floated behind her made her look like she was not walking but floating.
It was nearly nine and serenity was beginning to get cold. She headed towards the front entrance of the school. When she passed the big oak tree a man stepped out from behind it and headed towards her.
He was wearing a black trench. His messy black hair blowing in the wind. His red eyes piercing the cold grey of the weather and burning into Serenity. He stopped right in front of her.
"Can I help you?" Serenity asked shyly with a hint of fear lacing her voice.
"Maybe. Are you Serenity Wheeler?" He asked his tone made it seem like he was trying to get something Serenity was not willing to give.
"Yes." She answered hesitantly.
"Do you know Seto Kaiba?" It seemed as though he was trying to put pieces of a puzzle together with his questions.
"Yes." Serenity answered again this time a hint of sadness and longing in her voice.
"Then you are just the girl I am looking for." He said a malicious smile crossing his face.
All of the Sudden Damian was gone. Serenity was about to run for the doors of the school when someone grabbed her by the shoulder with one hand and putting the other over her mouth to prevent her from screaming.
"This will make Seto come to us." Serenity heard the male voice say. "Don't worry the slave trade isn't that bad."
Seto was sitting in his room thinking about the conversation he had had with the voice in his head. He didn't understand why he had to go talk to Serenity. In his mined she should come to him, after all it was her who was scared or what ever.
As he sat pondering this an owl flew in his window and dropped a letter in his lap. The hole owl delivery thing on longer bothered Seto so he simply picked up the letter and opened it.
Prince Kaiba,
Have you talked to Serenity lately. If you haven't your last chance is tonight before midnight. For at midnight she will be put up for bid in the neko (cat person) slave trade. Oops I guess you didn't know her little secret. Your girl fiend is a cat shape shifter. Her true form has ears and a tail. If you want to speak to her then come to the haunted mansion in Domino.
Your loyal subject Damia.
When Seto finished this letter he was infuriated. How dare someone mess with such a sweet girl, let alone sell her to the slave trade. His first thought was to check how much time he had to get to the Haunted Mansion before they sold Serenity.
The clock read eleven twenty pm. He didn't think that was enough time. Not only did he have to get to the Haunted Mansion but he had to think of a way to prevent Damian from selling her into the trade.
Seto didn't waist a second in leaving. He didn't even bother to leave his dorm he just released his body into it's form of pure energy and almost immediately was in Domino only a few blocks from the mansion everyone in the city thought was haunted. He knew he couldn't go into the place without feeding first since he hadn't done so in over 48 hours.
He grabbed some girl that was passing him, by the wrist and pulled her into the ally. She only struggled to escape his grasp until he bit into her neck. Her body went limp and he drank her blood as quickly as possible. He ditched her body in the large dumpster next to him and ran as fast as he could to the mansion.
When he arrived he still had no idea how he was going to prevent Serenity from being sold but he had to make sure she wasn't.
Damian was waiting for him at the front door to the mansion. His grin was stretched from ear to ear and had that evil look to it.
"Nice of you to Join us prince. Are you here to bid on your favored pet?" Damian seemed as though he was playing with Seto.
"Where's Serenity." Seto's voice held a tone that said 'Deny me the information I want and I will kill you.'
"Oh yes the neko I found today. I thought you might be interested in her. She's in the ball room." Damian's tone hadn't changed yet and Seto knew he was up to something.
Seto ran to the ball room but couldn't spot Serenity anywhere. He was beginning to think that perhaps she wasn't here. That maybe Damian had sold her off early.
"Where is she" Seto's voice was dangerously low and implied that the first person to rub him the wrong way was going to die.
"You can't even recognize your own girlfriend, how sad." Damian said taunting him and leaning on a large cage.
Seto looked down to see what was in it and saw a very scared looking girl. She had waist-length black hair with black furry cat ears gracing the top of her head, her eyes were emerald green, a long furry tail lay curled around her and she looked as though she had been beaten resently. Cuts, scratches, bruises, and whip marks covered her body. The last thing Seto noticed was that she was wearing the same thing he had seen Serenity leave the school on that morning. That is when it hit him, this sad neko WAS Serenity.
"Let her go." Seto Demanded.
"If you want her you will have to bid just like everyone else." Damian said calmly, "and look she is up next."
A strong gruff looking man came over to the cage opened it and dragged Serenity to the front of the ball room. Another man that was standing a the podium began the bidding at one thousand dollars.
After a few people put in their bids Seto Yelled out "One million dollars."
No one seemed to want to pay more and the auctioneer yelled "Sold, to the prince for one million dollars."
The gruff man hit her hard on the back of the head causing her to pass out so that she wouldn't fight going with her new owner.
Seto ran to the front and cut the ropes that bound her arms and legs preventing her from moving. He was going to yell at the man for knocking Serenity out but decided it was not worth the time and effort. He picked up Serenity's limp body and then vanished.
He reappeared in his dorm room, Serenity still safely in his arms. He laid her on the bed so that she would wake up somewhere comfortable. He then sat at his small desk and tried to work on his companies website wile waiting for Serenity to wake up.
End of Chapter 20. I hope you liked it, and the little twist that was in it. Please R&R.
