I found myself in the dark of the forest, running away for my life. I suddenly came to a halt when I saw my parents ahead of me.
"Mom, Dad!" I called with tears filling my eyes, as I ran after them, but they kept vanishing from my view.
I called out to them, but they didn't respond to my call.
"MOM! DAD!" I yelled out with tears flowing down, only to feel a sudden movement taking over me.
"What is happening?" I asked, getting worried.
Again, I felt this strange movement, going so vigorously across my body, sending my two eyes opening at once.
I looked and found myself staring at a group of girls, all sitting, tied down, and crying.
"Where am I? " I asked myself, trying to lift myself off the floor, but I couldn't even move my hands.
The vigorous movement I was feeling came again, giving me a clear view of what was causing it.
I'm in a truck!
"How did I end up here?" I gazed in shock, rolling over due to the movement.
My eyes fell on the girls in the corner, all crying, looking terrible.
"But I was in the forest. What happened to me?" I tried to remember what exactly happened to me.
That's when I recalled how I was escaping those rogues and my sudden accident on that rock.
"Did the rogues get me?" I lifted my gaze, lingering my eyes around the truck I was in.
I can't even tell what's happening or who my captors are. Whoever it was, the person had an interest in young ladies alone, cause I didn't see any man around.
That's what I thought, not until my eyes fell on three huge men standing right in the truck with us, holding a whip.
"Shut it!" One yelled at a lady, lashing his whip right on her back.
She cried, falling to the ground, unable to touch her body since her hands had been tied down.
This sent a wave of fright into my heart. Who are these men?
"Well, what do you know." I heard one uttering next to me. I lifted my gaze and saw one of the huge men's eyes on me. His eyes were large!
"She's finally awake," He said, walking closer to me, grabbing me by my dress from the neck region.
"We thought you were dead. Already had plans of tossing your body into a river." He laughed, getting the others to laugh along.
"Who are you? " I asked, feeling scared.
But it only got them cackling at me instead.
"You'll know when we arrive. Just relax, " He said, caressing my cheek.
A wave of irritation traveled across my body, that I had to use my head and bump the latter across the face.
He groaned in pain.
"You b***h!" He sparked, taking hold of his whip to lash on me.
When I saw this, my sword came to my mind at once.
"Wait, where's my sword?" I looked at the corner I was lying in but saw no trace of my sword.
Where is it?
Just then, I felt excruciating pain in my body, sending me to the ground. The latter had lashed me on my back, whipping me more for what I did.
"Don't ruin her skin you fool. How are we going to make good money from her if you spoil her beauty?" The other asked my Punisher, making me aware of what was going on.
"They're going to sell us all?" I looked at the others and saw how they buried themselves in one corner, sobbing with sadness in their eyes.
"Goddess, how did I end up here?" I felt my heart pounding, thinking of what my future holds.
I can't be sold out.
.
Soon, the truck came to a stop. I see the huge men walking up to the entrance, opening it wide to a bright light, shimmering in and blocking my view.
I had to dim my eyes when the bright light came in but opened them wide to see the outside clearer.
"A market?" I asked no one in particular, staring at the open.
I could see a large setup and different things going on out there.
This is an open market!
"All of you, up now!" The men yelled at us.
Our hands were still tied down. We all carefully got to our feet, as they pulled us out of the truck like animals.
The men pushed us into a corner, where we met more men like them, also huge, grabbing us all and chaining our feet.
"Be fast we that! We don't have all day!" A woman dressed in fancy attire, walked up to us, yelling at the men.
"We're moving fast, Saraphina," The men said, chaining us all.
"Better. The show is about to start. There are a lot of hungry customers waiting for these damsels," Saraphina said, looking at us.
When her greedy eyes fell on me, she gave a grin, walking up to me.
"A long dress? This won't do, " She said, looking at my clothes.
In a split second, she ripped the lower part of my dress, making it short.
I had gasped at her action which only made all the men laugh.
"Better. Now bring them all out, " She ordered, walking away.
The men came pushing us as we followed Seraphina from behind. Only to find ourselves on a podium, with lots of men, gazing at us hungrily from below.
That's when it hit me. s*x slaves! We're being sold as s*x slaves!
I can't believe such is allowed.
"Let the auction begin!" Saraphina yelled while the men cheered.
I felt my heart beating along while the others sobbed beside me.
One by one, they were sold to different men who kept bidding on us like we were objects.
I've heard about this act but never imagined I'd find myself in such a situation.
Is this my fate now?
