#Chapter3

Iris-

Awoke and yet fast asleep deep in the subconscious of my mind.

What was this?

I was trapped, in my last memories of the orphanage, we were being picked out and more than obviously drugged, I didn’t understand but I did- those rumours, they were true. The orphanage was selling some of the girls off once they came of age and I happened to be one of those unlucky girls, though luck had nothing to do with it, I was just cursed from birth, but as I sat here, curled up in what seemed to be a cage, I wondered… just how cursed was I?

Who were those people and where had they brought me? All around me was dark, there was a red curtain in front of me and I could hear the voice of an unfamiliar man along with the applauds of what seemed to be a crowd.

Why? Why a cage?

I wrapped my small thin fingers around the metal bars and tried yanked on them, though I knew it would be pointless, I still had to try. It was official, I was trapped. Frozen in time, I had become another missing person.

The red fancy curtains drew and the cage I was occupying was pushed forward slightly by two men before they disappeared out of sight, leaving me here to be gawked at by the crowd of people that were all too formally dressed, expensive suits, beautiful elegant dresses, men, women, there were hundreds of them, all which sat there like statues with their eyes on me as a man came into view.

/"And for our last auction today, we have a rare human girls. As you can see, her eyes are wild, they’re different, unique. She is a virgin, still pure and untouched. She will make a perfect blood slave./"

The crowd applauded one more time, the loud waves of hands clapping interrupting my thoughts as I tried to get my head together, a rare human girl? A blood slave? And how did he know I am a virgin?

He spoke of me like he was a different species, and blood slave? What did that mean? Were these people here seeking a slave to beat into a bloody pulp or was my brain still not functioning enough to understand the situation at hand here?

I couldn’t find it in me to even speak out, to try and call out for help would be pointless, all of these people here were clearly very well aware of the fact that I was here against my will, they clearly weren’t here to save me but rather turn me into their blood slave, whatever that meant, however, I did want to give them a piece of my mind, if I wasn’t feeling so groggy and confused which were possibly the effects of the drugs I had consumed back at the orphanage then I would’ve told them all to shove it.

How should one feel at a situation like this? Afraid? Alone? Helpless? Because I felt neither of it. As I sat here listening to the man yelling out bids, I felt quite flattered to be worth so much, people were willing to pay so much more for me than I could’ve counted in my head. They were quite stupid and naïve though, thinking that just because I was taken from an orphanage, that I would be a weak little victim, if anything, they were the ones feeding into my hopes and dreams, I didn’t need to go to college, I didn’t need to work, nor did I need to stress of being able to put food on the table so that I didn’t starve to death. I wasn’t like other girls, I didn’t have any friends or family to miss, I barely had any freedom at the orphanage so I wasn’t going to miss much of the outside world seeing as I rarely experienced it, this was just perfect, though, if they thought they could mold me into a pathetic slave then they were very and completely wrong. I had dealt with nut cases for most of my life, these people, they had no idea what storm they had in store for them, should they be unlucky enough to take me home with them.

/"Oh wow. We have a new bid for 1 billion on seat number 1./"

Not only did my heart stall but it seemed so did the crowds as they all froze for a moment before falling into a scatter of whispers and as I studied them, they all turned and looked towards one man. One very stupid man to be bidding so much money on me. He was too far for me to be able to see him but even from a distance, I could see that he reeked of authority.

/"1billion bid on seat number 1 going once, going twice ….. and SOLD./"

And as the entire crowd went silence once more, my heart sped up, singing a tune of victory in my chest. Though this isn’t exactly how I’d choose to live, being sold off to some rich man, but I couldn’t complain. It was just the beginning for him.

I sat there in silence, as my cage was pulled back and the crimson curtains shut before me, in fact, I didn’t say a word as I studied everyone around me, the same men who were in charge of my cage picked up the cage like it weighed absolutely nothing and carried me out of the backstage and down a long magnificently lit hallway and up an elevator until we were stood in a separate room, it was beautiful, truly, it was luxurious and elegant. Everything smelt like money in here and I wondered, when I’d be getting taken out of my cage but I didn’t have to think long because just as I was getting restless being cooped up in the cage, the door opened and in came a set of heavy and yet powerful footsteps just before the man came and stood in front of my cage as I looked up at him.

He was…. Godlike. Maybe a little too handsome to be of this Earth, he was more like someone you’d find in your dreams, the one that you could never reach and yet, he was stood right here, before my very eyes.

I watched him crouch down, his tall form that stood around 6’6ft was now mere inches away from me, only a few metal bars away and before I could take in his face, I noticed the red within his orbs…. He had, red eyes…?

And without saying a word, he got back up and back out of the door, leaving me here to wonder…. Just what the hell,

Is he?
