Hello!! Please review!! The more reviews the more I write … anyway This is the next chapter to the story and I forgot to do disclaimers so here it is :

I do NOT own night world characters or the concept by the lovely LJ Smith.

APOV

When I awoke I immediately thought of my lovely mare but this time I remembered when they carried her precious unconscious form into the limo and I was completely powerless to help her. By the time I got to her it was too late and I was knocked unconscious. I tried my best and failed her yet again and this time I really have lead her to her death.

As I examined my surroundings, I noticed that I am sitting down on a tatty, aphulsory leather chair and getting my hair done. There are only a few of us vampires are here and the rest are humans who appear to have been drugged and are restrained on their chairs. I haven't fed in ages and my bloodlust is starting to kick in. The person, who is doing my hair, notices my sudden breathlessness and pulls a human from their chair and tosses him to me. The boy looked only about 11 and resembled mark a little but before I knew it, I had latched onto him and nearly drank him dry. I didn't even hear his silent pleas in his mind because I was focused on recuing my mare.

Once I had the restraint to stop feeding off him before he really does die, I regretted it. I had done so much to redeem myself and make sure that mare wasn't ashamed of me and wanted to be with me but I have now just ruined it. I wriggled away from the boy and looked up to see a smirking guard. He pulled me up to my feet and said "I hate it when that happens don't you?" my blood began to boil and I tried to pounce for him but didn't get the chance to. Two guards grabbed an arm each and dragged me off to a new room full of nightworlders. I looked around at all of the nightworlders flicking their numbers in the air and I am immediately disgusted, however, I finally clicked on and realised it was an auction. Suddenly I felt an overwhelmed amount of love coming from someone and being washed to me. I began looking around, but only to discover it was coming from mare. The soulmate link pulled me towards her and I gave her a very passionate kiss because it was probably the last time I would ever see her alive again. The pink haze surrounds us and we are lost in our own little world. We both felt as though it was the safest place to be and we both wanted it to last for ages. I was about to speak to her but the surrounding haze faded and I was brought back into reality by someone yanking at both me and mare.

GPOV (general)

The man who was hosting the auction began to speak. "ladies and gentlemen and nightworlders alike, I am your host for the evening Chris Redfern and it gives me great pleasure to begin the auction." Chris looked at Rowan for a minute, clicked his fingers and some guards brought her to the front of the stage and he spoke again. "I have one of three special items and the first is this delightful girl Rowan Redfern. She is a special treat because she is a Lamia and is only 19 years old. She is very good at domestic house chores and is always polite and courteous to others around her, she is easy to look after because she has no preference to what she would like to drink, although she prefers animal blood. If she becomes disobedient a few good whips and she will obey your command" Chris paused for a minute then held up both of Rowans wrists with the restraints and said "Shall we start the bidding at $1000?"

Many of the nightworlders, mainly vampires, raised their tickets up whilst she looked at the floor with shame. She thought that she had let her whole family down, especially Mary-Lynette because it was her fault that Kestrel and Jade left the island and if she hadn't moved to Briar Creek, then her whole family wouldn't have been put in this situation. She looked up once Chris had said "SOLD for $20,000 to the vampire numbered 136 please come and collect your item" A good-looking fair vampire rushed to the stage and carried Rowan bridal style, whilst she was still in her restraints, and took off to the back of the hall.

One by one ordinary humans were sold until the only person left was Mary-Lynette.

I was trembling with fear trying desperately to cling onto Ash for as long as possible, but once the guards saw that I wouldn't move, they grabbed me by the waist and pulled me away from ash. I began kicking and crying out for Ash and I noticed that a single tear fell from his face. The guards placed me on the floor roughly and before I ran back to Ash, Chris had grabbed my restraints and pulled my wrists in the air and spoke again. "Our final human is a very special one, she has a very caring nature and although she has quite the feistiness in her, she has been restrained before with a few whips. Her name is Mary-Lynette and she has managed to capture many peoples' hearts…" at this point I looked over to Ash and he telepathically said to me "don't worry mare if we get separated, I will look for you and if I cannot find you in time, we will always have the next life to spend together for eternity and remember that I will always love you and ONLY you!!" I looked away from ash, I couldn't bare it, and so I continued listening to the drabble that Chris was saying "…so as you can see she is very special and possesses many good qualities, so can I start the bidding at $2000?"

Like Rowan, I looked to the floor, to disgusted to notice the numerous hands that went up in the air for me. I am a human being and deserve respect and have feelings and they are selling me off like some pet! Once Chris spoke again, I dreaded to who I was sold to "SOLD for $10,000 please step up and claim her" at that very instant I ran at almost vampire speed towards my ash, but only managed to brush his fingers before someone picked me up and flung me over my shoulders.

I looked intensely at the bidding war going on for my mare so that I know who bought her and then I would have more chances of finding her. It looked as though that muscled bald vampire, who had a plastered ear to ear grin on his face, had won. I began to run for mare and I wanted to just hold her in my arms for one last time. We almost met up with each other but just as we were about to brush fingers, the bald vampire hauled her roughly over his shoulder. She instantly began screaming my name, which made my heart tear in two so I looked away. I was told by Thierry how bad it was when his soulmate Hannah was killed in each of her lives and was taken away from him by Maya, but I never knew that it would feel this terrible.

She was still screaming her head off God bless her, when he was being carried of the stage, so the vampire put his tie over her mouth so she couldn't deafen him. Tears were streaming down her precious face and again for the second time tonight my heart was broken with the loss of my soulmate and my sister. Right now I couldn't care who I got sold to, but I was praying it would be the bald vampire or the fair vampire who bought them so that at least we could be re-united. Mare was in hysterics and wouldn't calm down, so he hauled her off his shoulders and handed him to a guard who was instructed to knock her out and put her in his car. Poor mare, she has been through a lot over the past nearly two years; first with Jeremy, then my departure and then this! I would never wish this on anyone but least of all my mare, she is my life, my friend, my soulmate.

As I see her being carried by one of the guards, sleeping peacefully for now, I whisper in her mind "Goodbye mare I will love you forever."
