Chapter Two: Of auctions, broken wings and new friends
I groaned loudly as i awoke from my slumber. Shaking my head I heard the rattling of chains, my head tilted to the side until i got a better look at my surroundings and everything came flodding back. I realized we weren't moving anymore and heard my kidnappers talking to someone outside.
"You four captured a dragon!" a soft feminie voice said in shock.
"Yeah, you were right about these crystals they let us through, we're gonna go back to see if he has any family." one of thm said, probably that brunett.
"Don't get ahead of yourselves, you said this one is small meaning if it has any family they are parents who are much larger." that feminie voice said again.
"Of course Madame." another one said.
"Good now let's open this up and get a look at this beauty." I heard hands clap together and the large doors of this trailer i was in opened revealing a women standing there with her hands on her hips. Her hair had a strange bluish tint and her eyes reminded me of sea foam. "He's magnificent!" the women yelled ordering two others and two hell hounds to pull me out. One mutt gripped the back of my neck, much like the other one did. The second was there to hold my tail to keep me from slapping anyone with it. I was placed on the ground as I glared at every living thing in my feild of vision. "Have you asked his name?" the women said stroking the scales ony head. I shook to attempt ot get her hands away but the hell hound growled and clenched his jaw lightly. I growled back but kept still tuning back into the humans conversation.
"No Madame." the red head said, the womans lips pursed.
"And why not that should've been the first thing you asked!" she yelled, which surpirsed me cause her voice had been so soft and sweet. The four humans recoiled and they pushed the one that spoke my tongue forward.
"What is your name, young one." he said quietly. I shook my head and he got the idea removing the muzzle.
"My name is Vigor Bluefire, a member of the royal Bluefire family and you'll regret this if you don't release me right now!" I screamed in english so everyone here could understand me. A insane laughter reached my ears and I turned to glare at however it was comimg from. To my surprise it was coming from the lady they called Madame, she had a sick smile on her face as she stopped.
"I like this one, well my young prince let's get you ready for auction." she smiled, the muzzle was placed back on as she walked away and the two humans and hell hounds dragged me in the womens dirrection. They dragged me to a building that had steam rising from the roof. The door was opened revealed several large hot springs, I was draggged into the closest one.
"Madam, are you sure we're safe?" whispered one of the people there.
"Perfectly as long as our little prince is secured you have nothing to worry about." she smiled. "if it makes you feel better I'll personally watch over the bathing."
"I'd appreciate that Madame." the atendent said calling over the others. They all got rags and bottles and bars of soap. They started scrubbing removing every spec of dust from my scales. "Madame we're done."
"Wonderful, now how to make sure he can't fly away, cause I'd hate to have you fly off when we remove those chains." her smile widened into a sickening grin. "Ah, I know exactly what to do, remove the chain." she said and the heavy weight was removed, I spread my wings, stretching them to my full wing span "Hold him down." the woman said quickly and my entire body was being held down by the weight of several humans. I sruggled under their weight before screming out as the women cut a larg circle into my wings. When she was done I was sniffling as the indigo blood of my kind formed a puddle on the floor. "The cut is not deep enough to go theough your wing completely, but the moment you try to lift your body off the ground a large hole will be in your beautiful wings, and I'd hate to see that happen. Bring him to the stage, oh and clean up the mess." she left the bath house cackling. Once the door was closed the attendents looked at eachother and cut the bonds from my legs. I stared at them in confusion and they smiled sadly at me.
"You've been theough enough embarrrassmnet, and I know having those mutts drag you out of here like this would just make you hit rock bottom." I stood on my own legs for the first time in hours, stretching out and nodded my head to the humans as thanks walking toward the door pushing it open. The two hell hounds that had been with me, now stationed at the entrance, stared at me as i walked forward. They seemed to know where I was supposed to go and stood on either side of me.
"So, Madame finally broke you, it was only a matter of time." the one to my left said and I just stared, I've never heard a hell hound speak, i thought they were incapable of doing so. I didn't answer and was led to a large stage on the other side of the compound. When i arived i was instantly dragged into a steal cage and left alone with nothing but my thoughts, at least for a short while. Soon other magical creatures were lined up infront of me. They were led onto the stage, then a lot of numbers were being screamed out before it was led off. Finally ot was my turn.
"And now ladies and gentlemen we have a very special piece today." the man on stage said as i was dagged out of the cage. "A rare beauty, that you won't find at any other auction house, a dragon!" he yelled and I was dragged on stage. Ohh's and ahh's were heard as I stood in the spotlight. Then the auctioneer started calling out numbers and it reached four million really fast, a man called five million and no one else seemed to want to challenge the mans bid. Then someone yelled out seven million, and the other mans face fell. "Seven mill, going once, twice, all in fair war, sold to number 485 please come to the pick up area around back." I was taken off stage and taken to th back of it where some small houses were. The muzzle was removed and I was told to sit and wait, not like i could get out any way they locked the door, which was made of some short of metal.
'Why can't i breath fire this would be so much easier if I could."I thought sighing, until the now familiar twige of pain caught my attention. I spread out my wings to survey the damage. I glared at the circle, the lady was right not deep enough to go completely through but if I tried to take off, i wouldn't get very far. I sighed again and let my wings droop behind me. 'Flying was one of th few things i prided myself in, that i was really good at.' While I was sulking the metal door infront of me opened revealing a man. with short white hair slicked back, pale compexion, and burning red eyes. Over all pretty attractive for a human. He smiled at me flashing pearly white teeth. Walking forward he pulled something out of his pocket. I growled and moved back. He looked down and frowned, I looked at the place i had just been and saw a small puddle of indigo had pooled there and streaked in my direction. He walked to the side of me and saw the large circle, his frown turning into a scowl.
"You don't have to be scared, I'm going to get you out of here." he said calmly edging forward again, I scotted back and he stopped coming closer, now just sitting on the ground. I tilted my head to the side and stared at the human.
"You are strange." i said and he chuckled.
"I get that a lot." he replied
"As do I." I said.
"And why is that?" he questioned.
"I just am, maybe not as strange as you, but strange." I said not noticing that he was scotting closer and closer until his hand was on my head.
"Ah, I don't even know your name mine's Andrew." he said then motioned to me.
"Vigor" i answered.
"Well Vigor, I think it's about time we leave don't you? Then we can be strange together." he smiled holding up a crystal that was glowing a bright green. I nodded and let him to place the crystal around my neck, then he pulled out another this one glowing blue and put in around his self. A warm feeling suddenly rushed over me, and I looked to Andrew for answers. He looked at me and chuckled again. "These necklaces bind us, we can sense how the other feeling, we can also read eachothers thoughts." I head and looked down at the green crystal now hanging from my neck. I smiled and followed behind Andrew happy to that I'm finally get out of this hell hole.
