When I woke up, I found myself in a cage in a warehouse-like room, somewhere unknown.
Still a little dizzy, I looked around and found out that I wasn't the only one in the room. There were 6 others in cages similar to mine, some unconscious and some awake. In a cage about a meter from me, was a man looking around 20-21 years old.
After a closer look I could see that his skin was bruised and bloody, and that he was shivering. Not really knowing what to do, I asked the man what was going on. He looked at me like I was trying to kill him, and then looked away from me. Realizing that I couldn't get him to answer me, I just sat and waited.
Not having much else to do, I inspected my surroundings. It was very dark, so I couldn't see so much, but I could see another person, not very far from me. It was a male, big muscled and wearing a white tank top which was pretty torn, and a pair of old pants, judging from the state they were in. He had tattoos lining his arms, and on most of his visible skin. Not being able to study any of the others closer, due to the dark, i sat back and continued waiting.
After around 3 hours someone, a man looking about 30 with brown hair, walked into the room and took the man in the cage near me, the one who wouldn't answer me, and dragged him out the room, with much trouble, as the man struggled against him. The man closed the door after him and locked it.
And once against I sat and waited. A couple of hours later the man came back, dragging the other man after him. The other man was unconscious and as far as I could see, even more bruised and bloody than before. The man left again.
After another couple of hours a different man, looking around 20 with black hair, came, a lot of other men behind him. The men took three of us, me included, out of the cages and out of the room. They took us down several hallways and stopped by a red door. After taking us inside, the men left, only the man with the black hair stayed back.
The room was impressive. It was a giant bedroom with a big canopy bed, in black and white, standing at the far wall. At a closer look, I could see it was made of black wood, and the sheets and drapes were of white silk. By the far wall, to the right of the bed, was a big, black dresser. It was made in Victorian style, and very beautiful. On the wall to the left of the bed, was a door in black wood, with a white doorknob. The whole floor was covered in a black carpet, and the walls and ceiling were white. Though my attention wasn't on the room very long, before it went back to the black haired man.
The man looked at us like he was looking at merchandise and quietly hummed to himself. He stopped when he looked at me. I was shivering with fear. I had no idea what was going on and the look the black haired man gave me didn't help.
The black haired man called the men in again and pointed at me. The black haired man told them to take me to the arena, and the men complied. Two of them took one of my arms each and started to drag me out of the room and down a different hallway than the one we came from.
Terrified I tried to ask the two men what was happening, but they wouldn't answer me. We stopped at two big metal doors and waited. Soon the doors opened and the men dragged me into the room behind them. What I saw inside made my guts turn.
It was a big room with a round metal cage around three meters high and 4 meters wide. And hanging on its bars was weapons. Big weapons like an axe and a Morningstar, and smaller weapons like a gun and a dagger. But what was really scaring me, was that all around the cage was people. And they were cheering.
At that time I didn't know what they were cheering at. But I soon found out. The men dragged me to the cage and threw me into it. I stood up and when I looked in front of me the tattooed man, from one of the other cages back in the other room, stood at the other end. They closed and locked the cage door and then left.
