Rudra
I was getting ready to go to the auction and my dragon can't keep his excitement. He been like that all night and I couldn't sleep because of it. I wanted to get this over with however, I would be lying if I said I was also a little excited. This is unlike me which I finding it uncomfortable and unsettling. I don't like it one bit. So I was eager to go and be done with it.
Me and my parents was on our way, in a carriage, to the auction. Once we were arrived, we was greeted and escorted to the hall. When we were there all eyes was on us, looking shocked. I could here few whispers and some looked scared and nervous. I guess they didn't expect the royals to be here. They bowed for respect and dismissed them and everyone continued doing their own conversations. I waited in the corner of the hall and quietly watching people while my parents mingle with our subjects. I could see some girls trying and I say that loosely, getting my attention even the women trying to get my attention with their flirty looks. Do they have no shame? Some of the parents try to approach me with their daughters, I'm guess they want me to court them but I just gave them murderous look which they backed off. People disgust me. They just tools for me to use and dispose with.
We waited about an hour until the doors was opened and the host came in with a few guards flank behind him.
"Ladies and gentlemen, would like to follow me to the next room and we will sign you to your seats around the stage where each girl will be presented to you"
Everyone followed the host and escorted to people where they signed their seats. Me and my parents were seating at the back which I didn't mind. I didn't want any attention from my subjects. Once everyone was seated, the host started with the auction.
"Ladies and gentlemen, we will start the auction. Send in the first girl and let the bidding begin" he boomed
This went on and on for a while. People was shouting and competing who can bid the most and get the most. My parents brought one of the girls. I wasn't interested.
Soon enough it was coming to an end and I was started to get bored. Then the host announced the last person and signor one of the guards to get them, that is when my dragon got excited. He was pacing around my head and wagging his tail. This is not like him. He never get excited about anything or anyone so this is not characteristic of him but when the doors started open for the last time, seeing the guards dragging a little girl on the stage and I didn't like it one bit. I wanted to rip his filthy hands off of her. I was levied. How dare him touch her like that. My dragon was murderous, he wanted to take control and kill the bustard for touching her. I normally would but not this time, for some reason I didn't want to scare her but the look of it she doesn't seem the type to get scared easily however, I'm not taking any chances.
The host went to stand beside her and gave her a death stare and she just gave one back which I just smirk at that. A brave one I see, how interesting. He took a step forward to get the people attention.
" ladies and gentlemen let the bidding begin. Let's start from 4000. Do we have 4000?"
As soon as he said that, the people started their bidding. The bidding gotten higher and higher. It looked like everyone wanted her, I don't blame them cause I wanted her too. My dragon want me to take her now and kill everyone who get in our way. I ensure him that we will get her. So I waited for the right moment to place bet in and take her. I waited a few moment until the last person think they have her, that is when I stepped in.
"5 billions" I shouted. I deliberately went for the highest price so that no can out bid me and she's mine and anyone who dares challenge me will know the consequences if they do. Everyone knows about my wrath and knows not to get in my way.
However, everyone was shocked, just staring at me and some of them gasped but I didn't care. My parents looked shell shocked, my subjects had eyes as saucers and the host looked stunned.
My father wind linked me
"Son, are you sure about this? With concern in his voice.
"Yes, I'm sure" I said simple
That when my mother intervene
"Sweetheart, why so much? She doesn't look that special, she just some dirty nobody with an attitude" she said the last comment with distaste in her voice. That tick me.
"I just do" I snapped. Loosing my patience. I cut the link and looked backed at the stage. Once the host snapped out of his shocked he continued.
"Is any more bets? Anyone? Go once, going twice, sold to the Prince of all dragons" he clapped after that and everyone clapped their hands. I locked eyes with the girl and she locked eyes with me. Those piercing green eyes with flecks of hazel, looking at like she's searching for something. Her dark, caramel skin which just shine in the light. I was in a trance and so was she, that I can tell. We were drawn to each other.The shocked on her face when she realised that she was sold to was priceless. I snapped at same guard ,who is now dragging her off the stage. My blood was boiling, getting close to explode. How dare him touched her. I looked back at her, seeing that she was trying release from the guards grip. She was trying to stomp on the man's foot and punching anywhere she could reach with one of her free hand. A fighter I see. Good cause I don't have the patience for timid people. My dragon was thrilled about that and she would be coming home with us. He acting like a love lost puppy. Not a murderous beast.
She gave up of trying to escape and then she looked pale and she was about to collapse on the floor but not until I rushed towards her and catcher in my arms. Don't worry my little pet, your mine now, I thought to myself.
