They led Aimee down a darkened hallway with very little light. She stumbled several times trying to keep up. Before they started her down this hall, they had her in another room. Some other people in there stripped her of her clothes and tugged a rather skimpy two piece outfit onto her. Then they put her in heels and dolled up her hair and face a quite a bit. They put so much makeup on her and practically made her up like a life size doll.

"Hurry up!" Shar barked back at her.

He tugged on the chain that was connected to some metal cuffs on around her wrists. Aimee nearly lost her balance from both being jerked forward and wearing the thin high heels. She never wore heals because they were uncomfortable and she can never seem to walk more than a few steps without rolling her ankles. Still, she tried to keep up with her captors as best as she could. Shar was in front of her, while two men flanked her from behind.

Finally, after several minutes of stumbling about, they came to a stop at some doors. They slid open to allow the four of them access. Aimee was then herded into the elevator. The doors closed and Shar pressed a button, next thing they were going down. She was getting more anxious and scared by the minute.

The elevator came to a stop and let them out. Shar pulled her down another darkened hall for just another minute or two, before he came to another stop in front of another set of doors. There was a keypad next to it and he quickly and efficiently tapped in the code. There was a slight beeping sound before they opened and allowed the small group in.

The room was pitch black, except from a bright spot light shining down in the center of the room. Aimee heard soft sobs coming from just past the beam of light and spotted the two other girls that were taken out of the cell along with her. It was hard to make them out, she mainly saw their outlines. Shar ushered her over to the light and stood with her briefly under it. He looked straight ahead into the dark room and cleared his throat.

"Gentlemen, thank you for you're patience. We are ready to start the auction. My colleagues and myself wish to start it off with these first three fine specimens. Just remember there are plenty of others still waiting in the cell. And that this is still only regarded as the first segment. If you don't get you're pick of these first three, there are more other exotic girls to choose from and will be brought out shortly after. So, without further ado, let's begin." Shar announced.

He then walked out of the spot light, dragging Christina with him. Shar shoved her to stand next to the other two girls. One of his colleagues grabbed one of the other two girls by the arm and started dragging her to stand underneath the spot light. She sobbed and struggled the whole way. Aimee so badly wanted to help her, but how can she help any of them right now? When she can't even help herself.

When the girl was put under the spot light, Aimee was stunned when she saw her. The girl couldn't have been older than 16-17yrs old at the most. A mere child who's life had only just begun to flourish. The man holding the chain connected to her cuffs had her stay there while he walked off out of the spot light.

"We have here, a young Mennan woman from the Planet Menna. It's a nice wholesome planet located down in the southern parts of the Western Quadrant. This specimen is a ripe 16yr old just entering her prime." Shar went, as if he were at some college lecture.

Aimee's fear started to turn into downright disgust and anger. 'How!? How can he just stand there and talk about this girl as if she were nothing but an inanimate object!? Sick! They are all fucking sick!'

She opened her mouth to say something. The other girl standing with her saw Aimee out of the corner of her eye about to speak. She grasped the young human woman's arm, gaining her attention. Aimee turned her attention to the girl next to her. Only to see the alien woman quickly shake her head at her. As if to tell her; 'Don't'.

Aimee clenched her jaw in frustration and sadness, because deep down she knew nothing will come of it. The captors who brought them in will just shut her up if she were to say or try something. So she bit her tongue and watched on as Shar started spouting out prices for the scared unfortunate girl. Every time he did, a red light and a dinging sounded would show up. The red lights were quick and sporadic and coming from the dark void in front of them, beyond the spot light.

She couldn't see or hear any of the other people in the room that were bidding. Just an annoying ding and small red light go off. Almost like a small light show. The other girl next to her, still had a hold of her arm. She grasped it a little tighter and Aimee could feel her shaking. Apparently the alien woman must've not known she still had ahold of the human woman's arm. Too preoccupied with everything going on in front of them.

It was a good couple minutes of back and forth pricing and red lights going off.

"Sold!" Shar said.

After he mentioned the next highest price, one red light in particular started dinging and flashing quite rapidly. More so then a couple others. Apparently, whoever was behind that one, clearly had won. Afterwards, the scared young girl only identified by her age and race, was ushered out of the spot light. Until Aimee could no longer see her anymore. She still heard her sobbing and it gotten more hysterical as she went along.

Another door off to the side, slid open; letting in light briefly. One of the captors pulled the young alien girl through it before it slid back shut, enveloping them in darkness once again. The girl was not seen or heard again after that. The second girl standing next to Aimee looked down at the floor as more tears started to cascade down her cheeks.

Aimee couldn't help but grasp her hand and firmly squeeze it in reassurance. It was sadly short lived, when one of the other captors grabbed her chain and started pulling her to the spot light next. At first, Aimee didn't let go of her hand. Until Shar came over and roughly pulled their hands apart. The other girl's arm was still outstretched toward her as if trying to reach back for her hand.

Not being able to take it anymore, Aimee took a few steps forward towards the frightened woman. But Shar stopped her from going very far and pulled her back. He kept a firm grip on the chain so she couldn't go anywhere. While Shar's colleague made the second girl stand under the spot light just like the first girl. The bidding begun soon after.

Again, it went back and forth for a few minutes. Until the second woman herself was declared, 'Sold'. Just like the first girl, she too began to sob uncontrollably until she was dragged from the room. All that was left now; was Aimee herself.

"Your turn. No doubt, I could probably make twice as much if not more for you." Shar said.

He started leading Aimee to the spot light. Her stomach dropped with each step she took. Yet, there was still a small spark of hope left within her. One she couldn't help but articulate to the snide cruel alien man.

"Frieza will find me. And when he does...you better hope he kills you quickly." Aimee spat.

Shar paused and looked at her. She couldn't make out his features because they were silhouetted against the bright light. Aimee thought that her statement may have scared him and maybe made him reconsider. Until he started chuckling.

"Stupid woman, he doesn't even know where we are. Plus, what makes you think he even cares enough to go out of his way to find you? Hell, he's an even bigger monster than me. I've known him and his family for a very long time. And I can tell you now, that none of them ever cared for the plight of others. To Frieza, you were just a toy. Something amusing and entertaining for him to play with whenever he saw fit.

And just like any other toy he has had over the decades, he eventually tired of them and disposed of them as if they were mere trash. Something he would've eventually done to you down the road. If anything, I'm doing you a huge favor. Most of these bidders will not dispose of you upon purchasing you. They usually like to keep their girls around for a very long time. So in a way, you're better off with one of them. Face it, Frieza will never come for you." Shar declared.

His statement stung Aimee. It was like a painful jab to the heart. Mainly because a part of her believes what he says to be true. For all she knew, she misread how the Galactic Emperor may have felt about her. Perhaps, toying with her emotions was a sick game to Frieza from the start. Her vision blurred as big fat tears rolled down her cheeks.

"No, it's not true." She said, barely above a whisper.

But even then, Aimee was still unsure as she muttered it. Shar didn't want to waste anymore time and started tugging her again towards the spot light. Feeling defeated, she followed him towards the light without a fuss or fight. She just stood there in a daze, barely paying attention as Shar started rapidly announcing prices. All she saw through her haze was the flashing of red lights and dings that followed. In a way, the flickering of the red lights almost reminded her of lightning bugs.

She use to catch and release them all the time as a kid. To her, it was fascinating watching the bugs light up the dark of night as they risen from the ground. It made the midsummer nights appear even more enchanting. It made her heart hurt that she will never see the warm tropics of her home again. Hawaii, was like a home of endless Summer.

Aimee did however flinch when Shar sharply yelled out; 'Sold'. As he himself led her through that second door just like the previous girls, she couldn't help but feel she was running out of time. Hell, she had already run out a long time ago. She just didn't want to admit to it. Even as he led them towards a man that was patiently waiting for them.

The newcomer grasped her chin and tilted her head back slightly.

"My, my, she looks even more stunning when in better lighting." He said, clearly pleased.

Aimee finally drew her gaze up to him. He was big. Built like some of Earth's top body builders. He wore some type of fine business suit. Another thing she noticed was his eyes. One of which was whited out, as if he were blind in that one eye. It was a possibility, especially since there was an ugly jagged scar that start above his brow and ended below the eye just above his cheek.

His sneer was anything but welcoming. If she thought Frieza had a disturbing grin, this guy almost appears to make the tyrant look friendly. The man held a small briefcase in his other hand. Kind of like the ones business men use to store important papers in. He handed the briefcase to Shar, who opened it with some excitement. The briefcase was filled with some type of notes. No doubt some kind of alien currency.

"Thank you, Ajax. As always it's a pleasure doing business with you. I'm sure you will be very happy with this one." Shar assured him.

Ajax's smirk widened as he eyed Aimee up and down.

"Indeed." He said.

She tensed up at the statement. Aimee could only imagine what this brutish man had in mind. Shar handed the chain that was still connected to the cuffs around her wrist to him.

"Well then, let's go." Ajax said to her.

She had no choice but to follow him. While Shar just stayed behind and eyed all the money in the case he was given. This had to be the most he was ever paid yet for a specimen.

Meanwhile in Space...

"My Lord, Planet Tyrek is in view. We shall be there very shortly." Kikono announced.

Frieza already knew though, because his gaze hardly left the huge window in front of the Control Room. He can only hope now that he wasn't too late and that he can find her. To do so, he must find Shar first. Luckily, those peons he picked up were pretty quick to give up his location. In a city called Marxu at a building known as; 'The Shark's Den'.

"Good. I'll start heading down to the Docking Bay and start up one of the mini cruisers." The tyrant said.

Kikono gave him a confused look.

"My Lord? I thought we were all going to land the main ship down there. That way we can also send troops out to help us look for Shar and the girl." His subordinate inquired.

"No, I'll find them myself." Frieza replied. He then turned his attention to Berryblue.

"Berryblue, find the coordinates to Marxu City and send them to tracking system in the cruiser I'll be taking down. From what I heard, it's not a very big city. So it shouldn't be too difficult to locate the building called the Shark's Den. The two of Shar's men we caught informed me it was in the upper Northeastern part of the city. It's also the tallest one in that area." Frieza instructed.

"Yes, My Lord." She said, and bowed her head.

The little blue alien woman went over to one of the computers and started putting in for directions to Marxu City. As they just about reach the Planet's Atmosphere, Frieza left the Control Room and headed down to the Docking Bay. It maybe faster for him to fly there himself. But Aimee can't breathe in space. So he has to take one of the cruisers to pick her up. He'll have to gun it all the way there.

He made it down to Docking in matter of minutes and wasted no time, climbing into one of the cruisers. Frieza sat in the cockpit and started up the engines. He pressed one of the buttons and the Main Exit Doors started to open. The tyrant didn't wait for them to fully open all the way before he gunned it out of there.

Not a minute after he left the Main Ship, the screen lit up and started putting together the coordinates.

"We have just sent you the coordinates, Lord Frieza. You should be receiving them right about now." Berryblue said, over the cruiser's intercom.

"Yes, I see them. Thank you. By the looks of it, it shouldn't take me too long to get there. I'll land the cruiser on the City's outskirts near the Northeastern section where the building is located. Then fly the rest of the way there." He stated.

They only exchanged a few more words before the cruiser was filled with silence again. Frieza pushed the mini cruiser as fast as it will go. He should be able to touchdown within the next eight to ten minutes. He hopes he will be able to find Aimee quickly.

Until Next Time ;)
