You could hear the sound of claps from the audience as they began describing her features the bidding started and it ended rising from 200,000 thousand to 500,000 thousand.

As time passed by the line got shorter and shorter making Elaine get closer to her turn.

she started sweating from how nervous she was as the girl in front of her started to fight back so the guards wouldn't take her to the stage. Elaine could hear the girls cry's for help as she was being sold off.

The guards walked over to Elaine making her know it was her turn, they walked her over making her stand inside a circle.

They feared she would try something reckless to try an escape they tied her hands up from behind.
