Beauty beyond human Comprehension

It's been a day since Mr. Wrinkles the man who slapped me entered this room. I do not know his name so I am deciding to call him Mr. Wrinkles cause his face is so ugly and nasty not to even speak of his pot belly and his smelly mouth. I wish never to see him again but that will not be possible because I will be seeing him tomorrow night. The night when I will be sold to whoever bids the highest on me.

Olenna has been doing her best to cover up my bruises and whip scars with makeup. I am to be made perfect, clean, and beautiful like a porcelain bowl. The only place left for her to cover up is my under-eye. It looks so drowsy that anyone who looks at me would notice I haven't had any sleep. I am trying to stay awake so I won't forget anything. I don't want to look at Olenna like a stranger when she has been so good to me. Forgetting her will make me feel sad although I wouldn't remember her to feel sad still I am trying to stay awake.

"The guards brought two dresses. Which one would you like?" She asks stretching out two pieces of dress for me to take a look. I really do not know why it's only me and Olenna that get to have a nice dress, not something expensive but at least something due for a commoner. It makes me sick to the stomach that there are little girls younger than me who are going to be auctioned off.

"Any dress would make due, olenna. I am not interested in any this" I reply making my way to a wooden chair that is at the end corner of the room beside the window. Although I can not look outside the window cause it is too tall for me, I still enjoy the sound of birds chirping.

"Okay, tomorrow then." She says combing her hair with a wooden comb a creaking sound comes from the bed as she sits on it. Showing how old and weak the bed is.

Looking at Olenna she is really a pretty lady for a human. Haven't seen any supernatural creatures before, and I believe they are way beyond human comprehension and beauty standards. And I kind of have that thought about Olenna. Who the hell has a sunset type of hair with sea-green eyes? No one unless the person is a goddess and she definitely is.

" I was the first person to have stayed here, right?'"

"Huh?" She asks baffled by my question but she is quick to recover. "yes, that's what the rumour says. Seeing as you are 15 years old and you have been here for the last ten years, seems like you were brought here from birth" The last part comes out like a sorrowful whisper as she stands up and walks towards me and squats to level her height with mine since I am on a chair. Her hands begin to curl with my hair. "Margaery," her voice low "There are lots of things you do not know about. It's best if you do not think about it. Especially yourself, do not be too curious about yourself. When the time comes you will know" She stands erect as she towers over me. My eyes hover over hers searching for whatever I can find maybe a glint of betrayal or anything at all but nothing. Cold and distant like never before, she always had warmth in her eyes whenever she spoke to me, Why is there nothing now?

"Why shouldn't I?" I stand up my eyes still fixating on hers. I notice a flash of red through her eyes making me tremble back away from her a little before it turns back to its normal colour. "What are you olenna?" my voice is a bit shaky.

She does not answer.

The door to the room swings open as the wrinkled man comes inside with two guards, their faces covered with a black piece of clothing.

"WE DO NOT HAVE ANY MORE TIME!!! THE AUCTION STARTS IN THIRTY MINUTES!!!!". His voice loud as it can bring down the entire building.

"WHAT!!!!" The question leaves my mouth before I can stop it from coming out. I am answered with a death stare and a hard slap on my cheeks from one of the guards.

I held my cheeks in pain tears forming at the corner of my eyes.

"Now you do not ask questions, you filthy little child"

He growls. "Cat" he calls olennna.

"My lord" she bows.

"Take care of her and make sure she is neat and also do something about her under eye, It's ugly. The guards will be waiting at the door. Do not waste any unnecessary time" He walks out of the room and a heavy scent follows him allowing the freshness of the room to come back.

"what are you guys still waiting for? Leave now" She shushes them away with her hand and they leave the door closing it with a loud thud.

Did they just obey her?

Immediately the tears I am holding back begin to fall profusely. I try to stop myself but I can't. My chest heaving up and down with emotion, I tug my clothes to release myself from the hardness I am feeling in my chest. Soon, I feel warm hands enveloping me, giving my back little strokes.

"Don't cry now, child. This isn't your first time, you have been through this before. Why is it so hard right now?" I am not paying any attention to what she is saying.

But I catch a phrase of what she just said. This isn't my first time? I didn't question her cause I know she wouldn't answer me. She will just sway her way out of the question.

My head just can't wrap around being sold. I don't want to be a sex slave for anyone. I don't want to be a slave at all. The tears pouring down fervently. "Margaery dear, I promised you that I wouldn't let anything happen to you. And I will keep that promise until the day I take my last breath".

Hearing her last sentence I free myself from her embrace "No!!!, Don't dedicate your life to mine. You have to live for yourself not for someone else."

Why would she even say something like that? Does she have a death wish?

"It's my life and I decide what to do with it not you!" Her tone is a little bit harsh but she part her lip again. "We are wasting time here. We need to get ready, and I know that your master is someone great and powerful"

"Huh? How do you know that?"

"As I said, do not think about things and why they are the way they are. Whatever happens from now, will either benefit you or not. Keep your heads up and don't pry into people's information even yours" She rests her hand on my shoulders giving it a light squeeze.

She stands me up and wipes away the tears but it's still visible that I have just shed a huge amount of tears. She retouches my bruises covering them up. She cups my cheeks in her hand as she tilts me over her face, darting a powder pouch on my cheeks covering the redness from the slap I received. She takes a different powder and rubs it under my eye making my eye bags less visible. She chooses the red dress leaving the white dress for herself.

"This will look good and beautiful on you" She holds it up to me looking at how it will fit. "You have a very whitey milky pale skin so this will stand out."

I hmmm her giving my approval.

She quickly unties the rope of my current clothes which falls easily from my body leaving me with my undergarments she then puts the dress on me and ties the rope at the back. The dress is short and skimpy making me uncomfortable as I try to draw it down but it does nothing.

"I don't like this dress Olenna, it's too short"I give her an awkward puppy look.

"you are lucky to have this type of dress. Girls down there are wearing nothing more than their undergarments." I zip my lips shut after what I just heard now.

She gives me one final touch before she proceeds to touch up her face with some powder she dabbed on my face making it feel so heavy yet light. She removes her dress which has already been ruined by dirt and bits of the powder she used and puts on the white dress tying the rope that is designed at the front of the dress. She does all these effortlessly as I just stared at her in awe. Her dress looks shorter than mine, perhaps it is because she is taller right? The door swings open and the guards' faces are already ruined with a frown on their faces.

"you guys have wasted lots of time. What keeping you late?" A smelly mouth one says tugging me outside the room as Olenna protests.

"Hey!!! Take it easy, no need to be so brutal. We are done just show us the way we would follow." She Scowled at them.

"No need for that. You guys will be entering inside this cage." Another four guards appear with two cages our size.

"No way!!" I blurt out.

"Yes, way" The guard smirks and pushes me and Olenna inside.
