SOLD

After some minutes of being inside a cage and carried by the guards. I am met with a loud crowd as I notice what my eye hasn't seen before. I am looking at horns. Freaking horns. Some of the people have long nails filled with dirt at the corners. What in the bloody hell do these people want to do with us humans? They are for sure going to break us. They are huge, enormous, gigantic, and every freaking synonym for anything used to identify something huge. I feel sick, and my eyes are growing heavy but no I will not fall asleep not when these hungry animals are staring and gawking at us girls.

The silence is broken as the wrinkled man speaks. "Welcome to the slave auction of Chester. We are very pleased to have you"

A group of girls chained on their ankles and wrists are being led into the light by a guard whose face is covered with a black piece of clothing.

"Now let's begin" He walks towards the first girl. "This one is one of a kind. Pretty and very well trained. She can literally do anything you ask without any sign of resilience" He pushes her forward so the beasts can gawk at her. "Going for 100 gold coins"

"150" someone says from the crowd.

"250" Another voice.

No one bids again.

"Going, gone, gone." The man says as he pushes her to a side as the bidder is talking to one of the guards with the slave chain already in his hands.

This goes on for about 30 minutes before all the girls are been sold. The highest money that was bid is 500 gold.

"Now, moving on to our special ones. They are very rare species as you can see that" He extends his hand towards our locations as we are carried to the light still inside the cage like an animal. "Now, you guy might think they are some kind of supernatural being because of their ethereal look but to my belief, they are not. I would advise to be careful with these ones as they are quite nefarious"

What!!? I never have shown any nefarious character and neither has Olenna. So what is this man talking about?

He hollers pushing my cage more forward to the light so the beasts can see my features more clearly "starting from 1000 gold coins. Place your bid" He takes steps backward away from me. Everything I can see is staring at me like they are ready to lunge at me.

A blue-looking beast comes close to me sniffing me from outside the cage. He places his hand on my hair making me shiver in disgust, I have never been touched by a very disgusting creature. "Nice scent. Smells like a fairy. Would love to have her in my bed filled with my cums" His drools and I make an eww sound scrunching my nose secretly I do not wish to be killed. "2000 gold coins" He bids going back to sit on his seat.

People or shall I say beasts I am not able to see start becoming visible when the light starts coming into view and on the bidders and I am baffled by their looks. What in the bloody hell? Some of them are indeed less disgusting and some even have a tail.

"2,500," A normal-looking one says sneering at me.

"3,000"

"3,500"

"6000," Someone says smirking as no one dares to place a higher bid. Not because of some shitty scare excuse but because the money is now much. Who would send such an amount on a pet slave?

"Going, going, go-" As he is about to say the last word a voice is heard from the back covered in darkness as no source of light was lit there.

"20,000 gold coins" The voice was raspy but still clear as the day. He steps into the light staring deep into my icy blue eyes with his red flaming hot eyes. Murmurs are being heard as no one would ever spend such an amount on a slave. The man who bid '6000' was dumbfounded.

The man reaches my cage and opens it lifting me with his left hand and placing me on his shoulder. I feel like a toddler on his body. I did not resist cause I am still shocked. Why in the bloody hell would someone buy me for such an amount? That money could feed families for 10 generations and there will still be leftovers. Why? Just why? I stay silently on his shoulders ignoring the eyes that are staring at my master and me.

"Give the man money, Gendry" His is voice short and cold. A man I didn't notice who stood beside him nods his head as he throws a sack bag I am sure filled with gold at the man.

My eyes dart at Olenna who is still inside her cage, tears forming at the corner of my eyes as I try to speak but the words never leave my mouth. The words stuck in my throat like a nail stuck in a wall. Her eyes meeting mine she gives me a reassuring look as I am being taken away by the man.

After a few minutes of walking, the auction is no longer in sight. The man brings me down from his shoulders placing me on my feet. My feet step on the hard stones that are in my way as I walk behind him.

A carriage is seen in sight after what felt like ages. He enters inside first and gestures for me to enter without any word being said. I still stand in front of the carriage refusing to enter. I do not wish to anger a being so dark like him. What if he decides to kill me in the carriage? His demeanor is so dark that my spine shivers from his look.

Without saying a word he climbs down from the carriage after noticing my hesitation. He places his hand on my waist carrying me effortlessly inside the carriage as the carriage is shut close by Gendry.

I hear the sound of the horse being whipped as it starts to move the carriage. The carriage bounces slightly as I struggle to stay in one place. The interior of the carriage is very intriguing. It is decorated with strange patterns. My eyes mistakenly meet his gaze already staring at me in silence that only the sound of the carriage is being heard. I quickly avert my gaze from him starting at the floor of the carriage.

Without any knowledge, he sweeps me on his lap with one hand "You are shaking and it disturbs me" He hisses. His body smelled sweet yet earthy and smokey.

"I'm s-, s, sorryy." I manage to say playing with my sweaty fingers but I receive no word again from him. He releases me and I quickly go back to my position at the corner of the carriage trying my best to stay steady.

After much effort of trying to stay awake. I notice my eyelids starting to grow heavy as I curse myself inwardly. Before I can think about anything again, my eyelids give up, darkness enveloping my sight as I fall asleep.

******

Sitting on a balcony floor made with wooden intricate designs with flowers as my company, I play the zither humming to the song. My red dress is spread out evenly with silvers adorning my dress and a pair of white glittering shoes on my feet, I enjoy my music with the breeze keeping me cool.

I hear the sound of my room door opening and a sterning voice follows heading towards my direction.

"How many times will you disobey your parents Aenyra? You are getting married in less than a month. Your mum is going to get mad at you, you should be taking your waltz class seriously!!. Not playing some foul music-"

"My music is not foul music Diane and I am not getting married to that old man. He is more than twice my age". I cut her off from speaking cause I was getting tired of her everyday whines. Every day she comes here and tells me what to do like she is my boss but she is just my chaperone. I roll my eyes at her and I stand up walking past her into my chamber.

"What do you come here for?" I ask her folding my arms together.

"your mum said I should help you get ready. The engagement party is taking place tonight"

"What, no way. You are lying she never said anything of that sort and the engagement is two weeks away, why now?" My lips quiver from holding back my tears.

"Little miss, I am not. A man came here today from the Weiss household to deliver a letter to your father. I don't know the bits of everything but we must get ready now lest your mom get upset". She said bowing down as she clasped her hands together.

"No, I won't. I will not get engaged. You must help me, Diane. I can't sign off my life just like that. I am not even yet 16. Please Diane" I reach for her hands holding down tears leaving my eyes but she removes my hand and takes a step back.

"No. I can't do that. My family will be killed. You know your dad is holding them hostage. Why should I get them killed because of you? Just do your job as the good daughter and leave me out of it" She takes away my zither and heads for the exit door before stopping a few inches away from the door. "I will be back miss, take your time and prepare your mind for your engagement" She shuts the door close.

I collapse on the floor bringing my knees to my chest I hug it tightly, crying right into it as I smear my face with endless profuse tears. I bring one of my hands to wipe away the tears but it is still pouring like a shower. Looking at the little desk in my room I see the fruits laid there with a knife for me to eat in case I grow hungry. Without much thinking. I take the knife and slit my wrist, blood gushing out fast as I close my eyes waiting to be dead.

"No!!!!" I scream jolting up from a bed to find my gown soaked in sweat. My first instinct isn't to think about the new gown I am wearing nor the beautiful spacious dark room I am in with a little illuminating light from the sun but to think about what I just dreamt about. Why was I called another name in that dream? I hit my forehead remembering the stupid thing I did, slitting my wrist was a very stupid move. I hope I will not make such a mistake ever again whether in my dreams or reality.

The door to the room swings open and a lady with a white blouse and black skirt covered with white clothes enters the room.

"Good morning, miss" She smiles heading towards me. But I just stare at her in shock.

Why the hell do new people keep showing up in front of me and what the heck was my dream about? I need someone to just explain all this shit!!. I sigh covering myself with the beautiful quilt.
