"Try to Run"
"Number 6...," A man dressed in a grey suit announces your
number. An old man with gray hair raises his hand and yells
out,"2,000".
"2,000 going once... twice... and," The man is cut off as a
young boy about your age jumps out of his seat in a rush and casually
responds before he can go on,"4,000".
"SOLD," exclaims the man. Nobody objects and you are shoved
behind the stage and brought down to the man in the audience. The boy
is asked to come with you into a private room (no windows, thick
walls, locked), in case he wants to speak to you about something
important. The boy's face brightens when the man tells him this and
you follow your new Master into the private room.
"Remove your clothes, Slave Girl," He commanded immediately.
"My clothes?," You nearly sweared," NO!"
He snapped his finger and smirked," You are my slave
remember?"
You blushed for a moment.
You unbuttoned your white blouse and removed your pants. You stayed in
your under shirt and under garments.
"Not a slick move," You said.
He pinted to his lap. You walked over and plopped down.
"You don't have a girlfriend?," You ask.
He shook his head.
"That's surprising," you murmur.
He smirks and whispers in your ear,"Why... Do you want to
be?"
You slap him and yell SHUT UP. He just laughs.
As the men uncuff you, you decide to make a run for it, but the large
men behind you push you forward and scowl. You realize it was a
warning and decide to stay put. As the men leave and slip off on
either sides of the stage, you decide that you can make an easy split
for the door. You look to both sides. Each child being auctioned is
shivering with fear. Their breathing level increasing, nearly
hyperventilating, and too scared to each move. You know it's a bad
idea, but you do it anyway. You furiously run towards the side door,
but you suddenly realize it won't open. A guard marches to you and
puts you back in place. You sigh. Nothing seems to be working. You are
forced to sit on the stage and wait for a few people to bid on you.
You blow your long hair back and wait for them to announce your name.
They don't, instead they give you the number 6 written on a green
sticker.
