Chapter 7

Turles stood at the top of the ramp leading off the ship, his cloak blowing around him in the breeze.

Kakoe was outside the ship supervising the station's workers, as the twins worked the ship's computer.

The doors behind the pirate leader opened as Duiiza and Amound came through with the girl in tow.

Eyeing her up he stared down at her body noticing the changes in her appearance, chuckling at the clothes that hanged from her lithe body.

To his delight she had left the shirt open showing her flat stomach and the leopard spot markings which he hadn't seen before, which ran down the left side of her body that stood out against her pale creamy skin.

A snowy white spotted tail twitched into his vision he looked back up her body to see a pissed off expression on the Princess' face, while one of his many smirks appeared on his.

Almost stalking her as he moved to talk to the other pirates, causing her expression to change, before she ducked behind Amound and peeped around his massive bulk.

Kakoe and the twins had now joined them.

"We are picking up supplies and slaves at the slave market, after they have been loaded onto the ship you can go off," Turles said.

Picking up a coiled whip each along with other equipment they prepared to leave the ship, Holly watching them in a child like curiosity didn't notice Turles slide behind her until he put a muscular arm around her tiny waist and lifted her up.

Immediately she squealed and kicked out hitting the pirate's powerful thighs as he nuzzled the uncovered part of her neck.

"You better stay close to me little one or some nasty man might try and snatch you," he whispered mischievously.

"Sounds just like you and what you've already done," she hissed back at him.

"Yes just like me, but I won't hurt you. Well not too much anyway," he breathed into her ear before he licked her neck.

Holly stiffened and began to tremble for the hundredth time it seemed in the past few hours.

Seeing his men were ready he too picked up a coiled whip and walked down the ramp still carrying Holly with the others following.

Squirming until they were clear of the ship she realised it was once again futile.

As she saw the other ships and different races of people passing by, she gazed around at them with wide eyes, Turles chuckled silently at her childlike curiosity of everything.


Weaving through the corridors of the station they came to a set of doors leading outside.

People nearby moved giving the feared pirates room, causing them squash others, who were equally as panicked to get out of the road of the saiyan and his band.

Once outside the planet had twin suns that blared brightly hurting Holly's sensitive eyes and the surface of it was of red dust like in a desert on earth.

Placing her down next to him Turles gave her warning look not to try anything; she looked around and saw the hungery looks the men near by gave her.

'There is no way I'm going to run off here! So I don't know why he is so worried,' she thought while scowling at him as he continually glared at her, as if to make her stay.

Abruptly Turles headed into the crowd of slavers catching her by surprise and was then pushed forward by the twins.

"Move girl,"they growled, as they whacked heron the back of thelegs with the coiled whip asa warning, causing her to squeal and leap forwards into Duiiza.

He turned and hissed angerly at her.

She soon found her-self boxed in by the six pirates, though she wasn't sure if this was for her protection or to stop her running away.

At first she was annoyed at been boxed in, as she was prone to claustrophobia, but was glad in the end because of the crushing crowd that the pirates' strong bodies protected her from.

Soon found her-self at a market that had many rings and pens like the ones she had seen on earth for selling animals.

Watching the pirates as they went from pen to pen studying the people chained with in them, stopping to get a closer look and to examine any they were interested in showing none of their thoughts to the sellers.

As they walked around Holly noticed a man that was looking at her following them,instinctively she moved closer to the nearest pirate which happened to be Kakoe bumping into him and looked up at him with scared eyes then back to the man again.

Kakoe followed her gaze and noticed the way the man followed them before turning to the other pirates quietly speaking in a language she didn't understand.

They now moved to observe their stalker as he came close to them and began to talk to Turles in an other language; he made motions at her as he did.

Turles looked at her and shook his head as the talked back to the man, but the man persisted and annoyed the male saiyan causing him to snap at him.

The man now drew away shaking and disappeared into the crowds, Turles pulled her close to him before continuing on.


Over the next few hours they walked around all the pens, and then headed to what Holly thought was a bar to discuss the matter on the slaves.

Settling down at a table they ordered drinks and talked about what slaves they should get as well as about what supplies they needed to get, which took them only a few minutes since they knew what they wanted then their drinks arrived.

A huge glass was placed in front of her even though she didn't order a drink, the pirates began to drain their own down and since she was thirsty she took a sip of her drink.

The glass needed both her small hands to hold it she tried a bit of its contents, as the liquid passed her lips and down her throat she began to cough.

Her captors bust out laughing and she glared at them indigantly causing them to laugh even louder.

Holly had drunk some very strong alcohol over the years at specially occasions, but never something this strong that it hurt to drink.

They stopped laughing and began to talk again.

Holly never touched her drink again even though her thirst was growing.

Turles ordered another round of drinks and Amound drank hers since she wouldn't drink it.

Much to her horror another glass appeared in front of her, Duiiza sniggered at her expression before telling had no alcohol in it.

Cautiously she brought the glass up to her mouth taking a tiny sip, freezing for a second as she tasted it and swallowed.

It tasted kind of like a summer fruits drink she would drink at home, so she to began to drain her drink and quenched her thirst.

Not long after they all finished their drinks, paid their bill they set back off to the market and began to bargain with the sellers that sold the supplies and slaves.

The supplies were sent to the ship and they drove the petrified slaves through the streets like poor cattle with the whips and then onto the ship into cells like the one she was kept in.

Holly felt sorry for them, but she had seen many horrors through her life, which were worse than this and was not shocked.

She ended up helping store the supplies in their places, then watched the crew split up going their separate ways leaving her with Turles.

'Oh the joy,' she thought as he gave her an evil grin, then leading her across the streets.


After walking through a couple of alleys they ended up at the part of the city where a kind of shopping centre was.

Turles noticed the way men looked her and started to look smug, just to show them she was his.

Before she knew what was happening Holly was steered into a shop full of clothes and other accessories, an assistant appeared out of now where startling Holly.

"Can I help you sir?" he asked Turles, totally ignoring Holly.

"Actually you can," Turles answered.

"The girl here needs clothing, footwear, ect,"

"Any kind of clothing in particular sir?"

"Oh just clothes for evening wear, causal wear, and underwear and I think this is about it,"

Deciding to butt in finally.

Holly asked indignity "What about sports wear? You never asked me what I wanted!"

"It doesn't matter what you want, you belong to me now! I decide what happens to you and what you wear. You got that?" he growled glaring deeply down into her blue eyes.

Although she was scared Holly her saiyan nature kicked in giving her courage.

"NO I don't got that! I don't belong to anyone, especially not to you. You the vicious, masochistic bastard that hurt my friends, the closest thing I had to a family, then kidnapped me and now you are making me your slave!" she hissed as she was holding back the tears.

Now she turned her back on him thinking 'Don't cry, don't let him see you cry and think you are all ready weaker than he already does!'

Steam was practically coming out of Turles' ears.

'How dare she talk to me like that!' his mind screamed.

He raised a hand to hit her, but stopped as he saw the pain in those baby blue eyes as she turned away.

Lowering his hand he moved towards her placing both of his hands on her quaking shoulders and pushed into a corner where no one could hear or see them.

Forcing her to face him, he placed a rough hand under her chin reaching up with scarred fingers he brush the tears away.

"Hush little one," a surprisingly soothing voice came from the pirate, despite his furry. His voice reassuring her, she buried her head into his armoured stomach and wept for the first time in years.
