The Dragon Prince and His Mate

Chapter Five

Maxine

I sit down on the same bed Tara sits next to me.

"You have been here a month?"

"Yeah, some of the girls have been here longer."

I just nod my head as I think of my parents.

Did they know this is what was going to happen to me? I know they always favored my sister but I'm their child too why would they just throw me away like this?

"Hey, you ok you seem to be lost in thought."

Tara asked me.

"Oh sorry yeah, I was just thinking of my family."

"I sometimes think about mine too I miss them alot a seeing my father get hurt trying to save me broke my heart. I wish I knew if he is okay."

"Do you know what they are gonna do with us?" I asked her.

"When you came in did you see the stage that was set up?"

I nod my head. "yeah."

"They plan to sell us to other people for whatever they want us for that's how he gets his money back for what our parents Barrow from him. "

"He said something like that to me when we were driving here," I tell her

"I guess the auction was to be two days ago but the one girl tried to get out they caught her dragged her back in here and shot her right in front of us."

"Oh my God!"

I gasped out I covered my mouth with my hands.

"Yeah so don't get any ideas of running they don't care if we get hurt or not he just goes and collects another girl. That's why they got you today to replace the girl they shot."

I start to cry and shake my head.

"Shh, they don't like it when we cry they will come in yelling at us."

She says to me and she rubs my arms.

Just then the door opens and all the girls jump and step away from the guys walking in. I see the one called Mr. Grey walk in he looks around at us he looks at me and starts to walk towards me Tara stands up and backs away I just look at her and back to the guy who is now standing in front of me.

"Hmmm, I see we are still having a hard time settling in, are we?" He says to me.

I don't answer him. I just stay sitting there.

"Take her down to the room and get her picture done and get it posted."

He tells the guys standing by the door.

The one guy comes over and grabs my arm.

" Come you let's go" he starts dragging me out of the room.

I look over my shoulder and see Mr. Grey following us we walk down a hallway the guy stops and opens a door and pulls me into a room.

I look around and see a camera set up and a black sheet hanging. The guy pulls me over to a stool that is in front of the sheet.

"Sit here" he pushes me to sit down.

They walk back over to the camera Mr. Grey is standing by the door.

"Wait." He calls out

"Take your hair down." He tells me

I reach up and pull my ponytail down and let my hair fall down my back.

"That's better now to get her picture done. I want her photo loaded in the next twenty minutes."

I hear a snap sound and I look back toward the guys standing behind the camera. When I hear the snap sound again a light flashes.

"Got it I'll go load it," he says while the other comes over and grabs my arm and pulls me up, and drags me back out the door and down the hallway. He stops and opens the door again to the room where the girls are kept he pushes me in and walks in behind me. I go over to the bed I was sitting on Tara comes over and stand by me.

"You ok?" she asked.

I just nod my head.

Mr. Grey comes in as well.

"Alright, lady tomorrow night you will be going to your new home with your new owners. So everyone rests up and tomorrow will be over before you know it. Thank you lady for your donation to my business."

He turns and walks out the door but stops when one of the guys comes up to talk to him. He turns looks at me and smiles he nods his head to the guy. The guys walk to me grabs my arm pulls me and starts dragging me out of the room again.

"Take her to my office"

I hear Mr. Grey say.

"Yes boss," the guy tells him and pulls me along with him. We went back down the hallway and up some stairs, he stops at a door and pushes it open. He pulls me in walks me over to a couch and pushes me down.

"Don't move" he orders me. I just sat there remembering what Tara said about the girl who tried to run. I was too afraid to move anyways.

Mr. Grey walks in and closes the door. He walks towards me.

"It seems we have a very interested buyer that is wanting more information about you he has offered a good amount of money for you. But he has one demand and that is you are pure my dear. "

He walks behind me and runs his fingers through my hair it sends shivers down my back and not the good kind.

"What do you mean by pure?"

I managed to get out.

"Well, he wants to know if you are a virgin and if you are then he's willing to pay for you today... Twenty Thousand dollars...

That's the most we have had offered for a girl."

"So you see we are going to have to check on you." I pull my knees up and wrap my arms around them.

"You don't have to I can tell you I am."

I quickly blurted out.

"Well, you could just be saying that now. Just cooperate and it will be over and done with and it won't hurt at all."

I start to shake my head no. When the one guy grabs me and tries to get me to lie down fear took over and I started struggling against him. I pull my leg up and kick him in his stomach he let go of me and fell to the floor with a grunt I shot up and jumped off the couch and tried to get to the door.

I had my hand on the handle when I feel hands grab me from behind and I'm lifted into the air. I start kicking my legs and trying to punch whoever had a hold of me.

The door opens and two more guys come in.

" Take her and pin her down"

I hear someone bark out. I try and fight to get free but the two guys grab ahold of me and pin me to the couch.

I'm crying and screaming.

" Please don't I'm telling me the truth, please! "

I managed to get one hand free and punch the one guy in the eye he fell backward. I sat halfway up and started to kick my legs I somehow kicked the other guy in his groin. He let go of me and once again I jumped from the couch but was caught by someone.

"Your a feisty little one aren't you? Well, good thing I know what to do with girls like you. "

He let go enough to spin me around and I feel a hard hit to my face I felt the room spinning when I feel another hard hit to the other side of my face. I can taste metallic in my mouth. I feel someone grab me from behind spinning me around again when he punched me in my stomach I doubled over due to the pain I fell to the floor and he started kicking me. He bends down and grabs a handful of hair and pulls me up to my knees.

"This is what happens when you fight next time remember that" he punched me again. I was seeing black spots my head was spinning and the pain was horrible.

I felt them drag me to the couch and throw me down I'm trying to stay awake and not pass out but it was getting hard.

"Now that she isn't gonna fight us get her checked and take her back downstairs."

I hear him say.

That was the last I heard and everything went black.

"Maxine wakes up!!" I can hear someone calling me

I peeled my eyes open. But that was very far I couldn't see anything. My head hurt so bad When I hear a loud bang outside the door.

Tara jumped. I tried to move but I couldn't my body hurt too bad

"Maxine, you need to get up we have to move." I tried to get up but I was in so much pain she grab my arm and helped me to sit up.

" Ouch!!" I cried out and grabbed my head.

"Here lean on me. " She helps me stand I about fell cause of the pain in my stomach.

"Tara I can't" I cried.

"Maxine you have to come on"

She is all but dragging me toward to wall. She lays me down on the floor and is shielding me with her body.

"Tara, what is going on?"

"I don't know Maxine but we need to stay down."

Every time there was a bang we would all jump and scream.

I hear the door slam open my eyes must have been somewhat swollen cause I couldn't see anything.

"Tara. Tara, what's happening?"

"It's okay lady's I'm not gonna hurt you we are here to get you out. Now come on follow these guys out."

I hear a man's voice.

"Tara, " I call out and I'm trying to feel with my hands.

" I'm here Maxine" she grabs my hand.

"Ladies please I need you to follow the rest out. " I hear the voice again but this time it's closer.

"My friend can't stand please they hurt her badly." I hear Tara say.

I feel a large hand on my forehead and I start to struggle.

"Shhh, don't struggle you will hurt yourself more I'm here to help."

"Dexter... " I hear the voice call out.

"Yeah, Jon." I hear a very deep voice

"We have one who is hurt badly she can't walk and by the looks, she can't see either."

I hear footsteps coming closer.

"Tara, " I say my voice shaking so badly.

"I'm still here Maxine."

"Here I'll take her I'll head straight to the clinic call my father and have a team standing by for us," the deep voice says.

I feel a pair of arms scoop me up and I wince at the pain in my stomach.

"I'm sorry just hang in there we will get you help," he says to me.
