Merna continue My heart was pounding in my chest as I spotted Camile starting to break down in the lineup. For a split second, I could see the worry in Puabi’s face as she fought not to go to Camile’s aid. It was Camile’s turn to be paraded on the stage. Everything was discussed, and Puabi knew the part that she had to play if we were to attempt to change the fate that was possible for Camile. Puabi was instructed to get Camile to hold herself with dignity. Regardless of her emotions to go and do as she was told. Everything else was up to Puabi and me. With grace, Camile motioned to the stage. As she lifted her foot she lost her balance, gathered by the two hunters. They straightened her up while tears of grief rolled down her face. She took one glance at Puabi. I could tell she was struggling but still, she mustered up the will to perform the task that was asked of her. “The female is human born!” The Mage shouted. Again the same response from the crowd as when Emma’s origin was announced. “Pure!” I watched as many males licked their lips displaying their pointed teeth. Balling up my hands I had to fight the urge to respond to their actions. “Breeder/ pleasure!” The mage added. Camile motioned her head to the ceiling as her legs were spread apart. The Mage shoved a white rode up her lady parts, bringing out the rode that was coated in Camile’s maiden blood. Holding up the rod to the viewers, “bidding starts at thirty thousand gold!” Puabi’s eyes landed on mine. The crowd glanced at each other waiting to see who would accept the starting bid and add to it. “Thirty thousand and five hundred gold!” Puabi was instructed to wait for three bids to be announced before she shouted her offer. “Thirty thousand and six hundred gold!” The bidder started to laugh causing me to shift in my spot. Fully aware of the racist viewpoints of this realm I knew I was playing hardball, where the rules could change at any second. I had to rely on all of my experiences and understanding of how things worked here to get what I desired. “Forty thousand gold!”All eyes turned to the head of the Barbarbosa family. They had already bought five individuals. Their wealth was well known and they flaunted it around in many families' faces. “Fifty thousand gold!” Puabi stepped forward. Desperation was Puabi’s expression. A weakness that was visible for all to see. More than half of the crowd started to laugh, knowing Puabi’s status. Everything that I had seen was playing out as it was. Chaos held his composure, he knew that Puabi was fond of Camile and would attempt to keep her. This plan was going to work or not. The bids started to rise rapidly while Camile started to wail as she glared at Puabi. I could see as her heart was starting to shatter. My stare would shift from the both of them as I listened to the crowd. “One hundred thousand gold!” A female shouted. I still did not shift nor change the expression on my face. I waited for the one voice to emerge from the crowd. “Five hundred thousand gold!” A young male shouted. This was the sinister little shit I saw in my vision. The male that I saw Camile being sold to if I did not intervene. Another bidder was about to make their offer when I placed my head up in the air, “one million!” The Mage started to laugh, “you are just a human- born!” The crowd started to whisper and snicker at my outburst. With me sitting beside the Master, they knew I held some importance but I was who I was, in their eyes I was nothing. ‘What are you doing Merna?’ Chaos growled in my head, ‘you do not have such gold!’ ‘You would not listen to me. I also know that once you had made up your mind there was no way I was going to change it.’ I glanced at Chaos. ‘So I had to go to my mother!’ I stood up and strolled over to the scale. Materializing a satchel that my mother had given to me. Placing it on the scale it showed that 1 million and one gold was on the scale. I did not take my eyes off of the Mage. I am who I am, and I can not change, “I guess you do not know that much about me after all, Mage!” My tone was flat. The Mage studied the crowd. As much as they loathed my actions. I turned my head daring another to bid. I was faced with scowling faces and hisses of hatred yet none would bid higher. “Going once …. Twice …….. SOLD!” The Mage looked daggers at me.I could hear the muffled yelling of Emma, “you bitch! How dare you … how could you!” Glancing at Emma I did not change my expression. If looks could kill I would have been shot on location. I wish I could feel remorse for Emma, I do. But it was Camile that I felt compelled to aid, not Emma. While everything was coming to an end, Chaos’s eyes were burning into the back of my head. I did not need to turn to know that he was irate, and even that word did not seem strong enough to describe the emotion that he was sending my way. I could not help it, I had to smirk. I wonder who he was more pissed at? I, for bidding higher than the others or my mother for aiding me in this action. “I have been here long enough … Mage …” I glared daggers at him, "What part of me spells human born!” Emma The mage announced my species, everyone wrinkled their nose as if I were a parasite. Then he announced I was a breeder. Pointing out my already swollen belly. Offspring is a bugbear! Only then did the buyers show any interest. This breeder will be sold as a two-for-one deal. Announcing the beginning bid, hands quickly went up into the air. “SOLD!” I was sold like cattle, and worst of all the buyers looked crazed. If I thought the treatment here was terrible they were going to be worse. After more serfs were sold off, it was Camile's turn to go on the stage. ‘What a spineless bitch, at least we fought our way to the stage, the crybaby went straight to the stage with no effort.’ The bitterness for Camile was very real. Any time she would start to cry Puabi would run to her side telling her she did not have to serve the hunters. One of the other females would jump up and take her place with a smile on their face. ‘Puabi’s little pet! The joke is on you now, Camile will be sold like the rest of us stock!’ Then it was announced that I was with a child. From that point on I was chained to a pillar unable to move. Locked up with the other fat plump bitches. Stuck in the pregnancy ward! The bids moved a long fast with a much higher price than mine. I shouldn’t feel jealous that she was getting sold for a much higher price but it irked me nevertheless. I could not believe my ears, Merna placed a bet on Camile! There sitting on her perch was Merna with her hand up in the air. “You are just a human born!” The Mage laughed as many others did. “There is something different about IT!” The older male Themes spoke to his wife.Her hand started to glow, “she is different … not mage, elemental …” She glared at her husband, “she is a hybrid! And a very powerful one at that!” Their son started to laugh, “I would have loved to sink my teeth into that!” The mother was quick to scold her son, “close that trap of yours, do you not see what is around that hybrids neck? She is protected by someone very powerful. If the Master can not control her, that means only one thing!” The son snorted, “what would that mean?” “The Master finally picked a consort of his taste!” The husband answered. I watched as she materialized a bag with gold in it. “At least I will be able to eat IT!” He was glaring down at me. “I did not buy IT for food, she will breed more bugbears. do not get any ideas!” The mother pointed her finger at her son. “Can I at least take its legs? It will not need them to birth, it only needs the vital parts after all!" The son was licking his lips. “One million and one Master!” That mage spoke out. “You can have ITS legs and arms for all I care!” The father patted his son on the back. “After my investment is delivered!” The mother added. “Delicious!” The son started to laugh “I guess you do not know that much about me after all, Mage!” Merna had a cocky grin on her face. I could not yell at the top of my lungs due to this damn scolding bridle but I managed to muffle out, “you bitch! How dare you … how could you!” The mother glared at her son, “plus her tongue as well!” Merna was glaring at me with no pity at all. ‘What had I done to her to deserve such a punishment from her? Why could she not save me as well?’ “I will be closing her mouth once you have taken its tongue.” The mother allowed the fire to dance around in her hand. The husband rubbed his wife's swollen belly, “Calm yourself wife, you do not want to give birth to our daughter here, do you?”I watch the smug bitch stroll over to the Master of this castle. If I was given one chance I would have punched her in the face, ripped out all of her hair and taken that fucking hot iron hand and shoved it up her ass. I glared daggers at the wife, ‘anyone who ever says the fae are wonderful, obviously has not met anyone from here!’ “You would be correct!” The wife gave me a toothy grin. Glancing at her son, “my dear son, go and tell Vargin and Zhun the good news, they have another female to fill with their seeds!” She placed her hand on my belly, “male … female! That is good to know!” glancing at her husband, “she will deliver around the next bloodmoon. We will have to put a tube down her nose to fatten her up!” Her eyes started to glow green, “what a treat we have here twins!” “As you wish my wife, you know what you are doing!” The husband gave his wife a wicked grin. “Chin up my dear, your fate is sealed!” She removed her hand from my belly, “you will give me an army and several other breeders. Congratulations, you were worth every bit of gold spent on you.” The wife clasped her hands together, “get the nymphomaniac ready to go, I am getting tired!”
