Eren looked around at the warehouse, his head much clearer than before. His mind was still swarmed with the previous actions done to his body without his consent. How much did everything hurt, in ways he has never felt before.
Someone was carrying him, to where? Who knows? As he was staring up at the ceiling, he was brought into a room full of betas pampering to dressing up the other omegas in the room. Omegas to be sold at an auction. "This here is the last one for the show, so make him up to be extra pretty." The man dropped Eren into a comfy chair. Eren snuggled into it. It was the only comfy thing (in who knows how long) he has felt. Omegas, being very sensitive to tactile things, enjoyed oversized things such as the chair Eren was sitting on.
One of the beta's came up to the man. "Robert said so?"
"Robert said so."
The beta woman with blonde hair hmmed. "He is a beauty. Is he close to his heat?"
"It was coaxed." The man gruffed.
"Ah, I see. I will take very good care of him, Simon. Don't worry about it."
"I don't care, honestly. I'll report to Robert and tell him you're getting him ready. I'll be back for him later. If he is any trouble, just let me know, got it?"
"Will do, Simon." The man left, leaving Eren with three or four beta women.
The blonde haired woman came over to Eren, and knelt beside the chair. She had a soft smile, reminding him of his mother. "Hello sweetie. My name is Victoria. Imma take really good care of you, you got that? How about you start by telling me your name?"
Eren kept his mouth shut. He didn't want to speak to her. He didn't want to speak to anybody. He wanted to get out of there. But he didn't know how. If he tried to run, somebody would stop him, and he knew this.
"I know you are scared, sweetie. But I promise, I'll be gentle with you. I wont hurt you. Not like those filth bags out there." She chuckled slightly after seeing a slight smile on Eren's face.
"Eren. My name is Eren." His voice still a whispery, raspy noise.
"Well Eren, we are going to make you beautiful!"
Her voice calm and reassuring to Eren. "O-ok…." He smiled slightly again, but quickly disappeared within seconds, into a frown. "A-are you going t-to h-hurt me like the o-others did?" Eren looked at the woman wide with, turquoise eyes.
"Aww, sweetie." She went to hug him, and he flinched away. She sighed. How many more omegas would they torture like this? "Come here. I just want to hug you." Eren eyed her suspiciously. He didn't know if he could trust her. But he needed hope to push him through all of this. So he pushed away his fears and hugged her back. "I promise I wont hurt you like those nasty men did. Im here to make you feel better." She cooed to him. She knew exactly what 'coaxing an omega into heat' entailed. Knowing what those men did to the precious, innocent boy. Yet, she couldn't stop any of what was going on.
"Now, let's go make you even pretty than you already are." Eren blushed and pulled away from the hug. He stood up and followed Victoria.
It wasn't simple work. This boy, Eren, was filthy from not bathing for weeks. First, the lady had to clean him up by shampooing his hair, and letting him wash his own body. The room they were in was separate to the room he was brought into. This room had showers and toilets only.
"Miss Victoria?"
"Yes, Eren?"
Eren looked down at the ground. He already knew the answer, but wanted someone to tell him. "Will I ever see my family again?"
Hearing that, broke the woman's heart into pieces. "Someday you will."
Eren looked up at the lady, tears in his eyes. "Im done washing my body now. Can I get dressed now?" He looked over at his old clothing and pointed to them.
"Oh honey! I am going to put you in something much prettier than that! That way you'll go to a very nice alpha." Eren had to accept his fate. He was going to get sold to some filthy, putrid, alpha out there, against his will. He hated the fact of the situation.
This woman reminded Eren so much of his mother. How his mother would use pet names to for him such as honey and sweetie. How his mother's smile could light the whole room if it could. How she would hold him if he was upset, or laugh with him if he found something funny. She use to love to dress him up in pretty outfits, and even though he hated it, he also loved it because it was his mother's doing; And he was never going to see his mother ever again.
"Let me go get it, just you wait!" Eren waited and sat down in a chair beside the tub, shivering in his big, oversized, fluffy towel. Tons of thoughts go through his head. Where will he end up? Will he end up with someone cruel and demanding? Most likely, he thought, would that be the case. He was going to end up with someone who would most likely kill him in the end for being disobedient. And it would be accepted because Im just a pitiful omega. So, nobody would care. Not the authorities anyways. Or I'll be sold to a brothel and REALLY be used for comfort for other men. What a disgusting thing.
The woman came back with a fluffy dress. On it was was two sets of pink ruffles at the bottom of the dress, which was mid-thigh length. Puffy blue, see through shoulder sleeves. A pink ruffled heart in the center of the dress, with a tiny pink bow at the top of the heart. The woman was also carrying a pair of thigh highs, pink, with a tiny bow attached to the top of the thigh highs. Little tiny Mary Janes, pink, also she carried over to him. "I know you aren't a girl, but because youre the last act, you'll need to be dressed up, sweetie."
"It's fine. My mommy use to dress me up in girly clothing and model for her." He started tearing up on the woman. She pulled him in her arms again.
"Now you listen. I promise honey. Someday, you'll see your family again. It will happen. You'll be sold to some nice alpha and he'll take you to your family again."
Pfft, Eren thought. That was never going to happen.
"Now lets get you dressed up!"
-
After the lady helped him get into his outfit, (which the dress was attached to a pair of mini shorts,) she called for the man to come get him.
"Ok, sweetie. Be brave. Be very brave." She smiled one more time as the man picked him up, bridal style. She kissed Eren on the forehead. "Focus on the positives, not the negatives, Eren." And with that, she bid him a farewell.
When he left the bathrooms, Eren noticed all the omegas (he suspected to be omegas at least) were gone. Probably to the auction, he supposed. He didn't know what to expect at this auction. Would it be filthy inside the auction area? Would it be crowded? Would he be showcased upon a stage in front of everyone?
"Stop fidgeting!" The man yelled.
"I-im, sorry. Please don't h-hurt me s-sir…."
The man rolled his eyes. "I'm not going to hurt you, stupid. I'm not like those people. I just transport things. But I am sorry that they coaxed your heat. Nobody deserves that."
"Hmf. Tell me about it. Why don't you stop them then?! You have the power! Don't do this to other omegas!" Eren thrashed around. "Just let me go! Cant you just do that?! I ust want to go home. Please, sir. Simon is it? Just let me go!"
The man waited for Eren to stop his temper tantrum to talk to him. "I cant. They got me by the balls, kid. They'll hurt my family if I stop my work."
Eren looked at the man, searching his face for any trace of a lie. When he couldn't see any trace of a lie, he thought for a second. If this is what's got the man trapped, what about that woman?
"We are here kid. Im sorry you have to deal with this. Nobody good should. I'll sign you in. You being the last, you'll have to wait awhile for the other omegas to go, but lucky for you, you'll go somewhere nice. Only the good, background checked alphas get to go to the last five shows."
Focus on the positives, not the negatives, her words reverberate in Eren's brain like a chant.
"Here, I think you can go with the other omegas now. Who knows? Maybe one of them might go home with you and the alpha that gets you."
My teeth chatter and my body shakes in fear. I cant do this, I cant do this, I cant do this, I cant do this…
"Over here omega!" A girl with brown hair calls me over to where she is sitting with other omegas. I can tell, because Simon pushes me over to them. Eren followed the voice and sat down on the floor with her and the other omegas. "Another omega! My name is Mina and Im number two!"
"Number two?"
"What? You didn't get a number? How is that possible? Everyone gets a number! It's what identifies us and when we are going up onto the stage!"
Eren was horrified. That's how they identify us? By numbers?!
"That is horrible, Mina! They identify us by numbers! Do you even hear what you are saying?! How can you sound so happy about this!?" Eren's voiced raised in the middle of his rant.
"Yes, I know it sounds horrible, but Im very lucky. I get to be with the top 5! That means I'll get a good alpha!"
Eren started to cry. He was going to be last. Those two lied to him. He was going to get a horrible alpha. He knew it.
"Why are you crying?" Mina asked softly.
"Because Im going to get a bad alpha!" Eren sobbed out his words.
"Why do you say that?"
"B-b-b-because, they all said I'm l-last!"
"Last? Did they say it in those words?"
"Yes!"
"Oh my god! You are sooooo lucky then!"
"How am I l-lucky!?" Eren sobbed some more.
"You are going to be first! The numbers go backwards here!"
Eren thought for a second. He sniffled. "I-im, going to be f-first?"
"Yes, and that's amazing! You get to be first! I'm so happy for you!" Mina hugged Eren tightly. "Oh, let me introduce you to everyone else! This is Thomas." She pointed to a blonde kid with heavy sideburns. "This is Hannah and Franz." She points to two people. The girl has redish hair back into a ponytail and the guy has short buzzed type of hair. They both wave hi to Eren. "This is the top five people!"
There is only about ten more people, including us.
As the numbers dwindle down to the top five, Eren gets more nervous. He knows he'll get a good alpha now, but what if the alpha doesn't like him? What if Eren is too disobedient for the alpha? Will the alpha sell him?
"Number two!"
"Don't worry, Eren. Im sure you'll do fine. I have to go now. Good luck with your new alpha!" Mina left after that, standing up after hugging Eren.
Maybe it wont be so bad, he thought.
"Come on, omega. It's your turn now."
