Soft sounds, inaudible mutters and crying, perforated into the pleasant dream I was having. With maddeningly insistence it disturbed me until the bliss feelings that cloaked me took off, leaving me no choice but to come back to unwelcome reality. I kept my eyes shut; firstly doing as my dearest father taught me and counted one to thirty backwards, breathing through my mouth. Rather than calming me, all I felt was mounting anger thanks to Riley who honestly lacked common sense to consider her late night anime binging might disturb someone who have a life and a job to get to by six pm!

I pursed my lips. Tragically, it's true. Three weeks after the blunt rejection of the guy I've been hopelessly in love with for four years, I, still and all, haven't gotten over him. Thus causing me to be a troll to everyone around me. Every thing annoyed at me, not excluding the lightest provoke, even the most unintentional.

Inducing myself into a state of relaxation, I forced my ire down. Then I attempted and flopped grievously in summoning one vital explanation to why she's interrupting my beauty sleep. Eventually I opted for a shitty one, and as I'd calmed enough to rise and leave my room to reasonably tell my self centered, inconsiderate sister to decrease the volume of her tv, Riley sucker-punched my barely-in-existence control by insensitively amplifying the sound, whereby I felt the gabbling of conversation and weeping is practically happening right next to me.

I was in a cage.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡspAhV5toQD
A rusted, dirty cage with thick metallic rods walls laid in both crisscross and cruciform patterns. It was smaller than Riley's supposedly tiny walk-in closet, she'd endlessly whine about and the headroom, I discovered as I stood, is two inches above my actual height. The floor, covered with dried hays, had dark questionable spots and lumps I'd rather not name. Two sticks attached to levers were lit on fire and hung on each side of the only door in the room I am caged in. With the poor lighting, I was able to make out the figures in some of the cages scattered around mine.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjtntOF42As
They were all females.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfmz8VQsPXk
Young women and teenage girls huddled together, whimpering, sobbing and mumblings out their distress. There was a shared ambience of hopelessness, of fear and dolefulness hanging around everyone. The feeling presence was almost like of a child who's been captured by the bogeyman and knew there's no means to escape the horrid creature.

Brows raised, I turned in the direction of the silvery voice. Right afore my eyes, a woman-ish figure literally melted out the darkest part of the room, stepping in front of my cage.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy97rE0VYYh
Her appearance for the lack of better words, spooked twenty years out of my skin. A demoness, that's what she looks like, no difference. Skin, a exactly shade of smog grey with mold-blue specks sprawled over her forehead. Head bare, bulbous, demonic, set with glowing faceted eyes. Mouth filled with long, razor-sharp teeth. Bipedal with longer limbs and claw-like nails. Dark ropy materials covered her chest and lower body to the thighs, leaving the rest bare.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxwf9LBg5gV
Something thin and tattered attached to her back rose on their accord behind her, moving with the direction of invisible wind. At first glance mistaken as a cape, but when the outline drifted up and caught a bit light, I instanter tensed.

401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WLl3CnaW8
Every ounce of self preservation alive in me urged me to pull away. To put what little distance the cage allow me between me and this grotesquerie. However, I found it difficult to do that. It was like there were invisible hands on me, holding me still. No matter how much I willed and forced myself to move, I just couldn't. Cold sweat broke on my skin, drenching me in seconds.

"Maybe I can exact my vengeance now? Yes, yes, yes, I can do it. After all, no one saw me leave neither will anyone know it's me who drained their precious grand cow." An unknown force prompted me closer to the outstretched hands of the lamia. Straightaway, she locked her my neck into an unforgiving grasps, mercilessly cutting off the air in my throat. I gasped, struggling to suck in air. A wet, fleshy muscle - a tongue - circled my face, leaving a foul trail of saliva.

"Now I can understand why Koyti wants to sell you for such an outrageous prize," She lifted me up, bringing me close. "You taste just like ambrosia." Inches from my face, I watched, choking, as her jaw stretched into an unbelievable width, the sharp teeth holding inescapable death.

Almost as though I summoned them with my mind, the latch on the other side of the metallic was unlocked on a sudden. The door pushed opened. Incontinently, I was unceremoniously dropped on my side. The demoness pronto backtracked, dissolving into the darkness from whence she came.

Unusually depleted of aught energy, I lazily glanced up between my tanged locks, once again fright took hold of me at the sight of the scarred face towering over me. To say the humongous beast of a man was by far the most appalling person I've ever seen would be putting it mildly. His eyes were muddy brown with a rings of gold - cold, merciless. They glowed with sharp intent; like of a lion stalking its prey. There was blood all over him. Blood, I'm certain isn't his judging by the lack of cut on his tawny skin. His spiky, inky-black hair, neat and well-kept, had not a speck of the red spot.

It doesn't exactly take much brain cells to let me guess this is a man you'd forever regret pissing off, if you try to do. This time when every cell in me screamed for me to recede back, I did so, straightforward. Plastering my butt to the wall opposite the front of the cage. The man raked me, his expression austere, revealing nothing of his thoughts. Doing looking at me to his full, he replied the skinny man close to his right. "Oh, she will," he croaked, his broken accent thickly overshadowing his words. "After all, the wolves prefer round women who wouldn't break from their bastard stamina in bed or die from the birthing their freak babies." The wicked glint in his orbs baited me to find offence in the statement. Only, I couldn't muster wrath. Rather, disbelief and fear warring in me, churning everything inside my stomach.

"Looking at her again, boss, she's not that bad looking. Don't you think you should have a taste of her? After all, she cost you a lot of effort to capture. You ought to break her before giving her to the mongrels,"

My face whipped to the asshole I came to detest on a spot. Thin with misshapen, triangular face and a shifty expression which says all about his personality. His skin was white, mottled and peeling. The receding hair on his head was fair, as are the sideburns around his face. He had a flat nose with a basin for a mouth. Slouched over, he seemed like an overgrown baby beside the one he called boss, his too-big mossy green orbs leveled at me with baleful fire. Give him green skin and pointed ears and he's a replica of an ogre.

"That is a robustly idea, Angus," The boss drawled lazily, his predatory eyes narrowed with interest. Said interest swelled when he lingered longer at my chest area and on my legs. Never have I felt so dirty, defiled and scared at the same time than right now. "Quite tempting indeed." No. I'd soon die before I allowed him to touch me.

A stern-faced, fawn skinned man appeared like a ghost at the doorway. Catching the boss' attention, he drew near and whispered something, causing the nasty man to smile. And what a chilling one it is. "Hmm, you're right there, Fritir. As always. She's going to be worth that prize if she were remain unspoiled."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Eoqw8BRnc
Hatred etched on the countenance of Angus. He glared at Fritir, who blatantly ignored his presence. The boss pretended not to notice it all that. Giving me one last look, he turned and walked out, Fritir ambulating close to his heels. The ogre snarled silently a few secs after the duo disappeared, eventually, he went after them. Locking the door behind.

Wisely, I didn't tussle with the yellow-teethed brute when he pulled me out of the cage. The females who were taken earlier all wept hysterical, while all I felt was indifferent. Some fought like alley cats, relatively small fainted and quite a few had to be dragged/carried out. I'm sure that he must have been told to expect the most opposition from me because my wrists were right off tied together by a rope and I was swung over his shoulder, beared away.

Attempting to focusing on the many turns and corridors I was taken through proved tough as being held upside down made me nauseous and it was a tight battle keeping the sickness down. The way I was manhandled didn't help either. After moving for what seems like forever, which in actuality was minutes, the brute stopped. Brusquely, he unload me. Afore I'd gather myself, I was tugging me bodily to follow striding legs upstairs. I couldn't see a thing in the darkness that enveloped us, making me trip over my feet couple of times, and the person haling me didn't sympathise. Instead I was yanked to move faster. I half wondered how they could navigate in this blackness. I was jerked to halt on a sudden.

"....that's why I saved her for the last." With a savage shove, I was propelled through what looks like draperies, nearly falling as I stumbled on wooden flooring. I blinked repeatedly, adjusting my cloudy vision to the unexpected brightness. I stiffened when I took in the oddity present in front.

Thanks to the dozen of torches dispersed around what I can say seems like the ruined auditorium of a high school, I was able to easily see the people seated. They were attired in costumes. Animal skinned garbs, loincloths or wide, cottoned pants, it was like they thought they were back in the primitive age because majority of them were bare chest and they were all men. A lull inexplicably settling in their mist the instant I came in view, all eyes fixated on me. The piercing weight of their unnerving regard froze my movement and like a deer caught in a headlight, I googled back with growing dread.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PmIfelMNG
They can't be human, I immediately concluded. Their features, postures, even expressions were quite different from normal beings. There's this.... I don't know, somewhat wildness, dare I say, animalistic aura around them that triggered the tocsin within me. Their fiery eyes isn't helping the issue either. They're dangerous.

A tanned man with hairy countenance hoicked up, his eye-raping prompted me to back a tad. "150 gold coins. For her." He pointed at me.

"I'm afraid that amount won't be enough to buy her," large hand clasped at the back of my neck, pressuring me motionless. Nerves fried by trepidation at the nearness of the dangerous man called Boss, I managed to level my laboured breathing but my pounding heart refuse to paced down. "This little pudding took down one of my best men and lot of effort from the rest to subdue her. She's worth far more than 150 gold coins. Say, 500."

Like a bunch of dogs ordered by their master to sniff out a criminal, they all inhaled. I half hoped that they'd all be repulsed by my scent. My corpse luck, like The Evil Grandmother so dabbed it, decided to deflate my optimism by rearing its rotten head. When their orbs glowed brighter with dark, consuming hunger, I knew it's a lost expectation. Smugness openly oozed in Cimmerian' tone as he spoke, "And she's also completely unmarked. Have a look," A tearing sound rippled into my ears. For a split, I was puzzled by it, but a zephyr blowing between my bare chest, rapidly cleared the bewilderment. I endeavoured to use my arms to cover up but iron hand imprisoned my wrists behind me while the other continued to rip off my cloth.

I'd feckly picture what the men are staring on; a pale, rubenesque body characterise of bulbous breasts, moderate belly, big hips and ass.

"10 kyi diamonds," My orbs snapped open on its own accord, bouncing across the hall to locate the owner of what I boastfully call the most heavenly voice in the whole world. A lithe Asian woman with glossy, dark hair vestured in black boldly met my gawking. Her keen, mercury-red eyes thinned a tad when they glanced below my face. A brackish frown crinkled at the edge of mouth, giving her brief look of a displeased empress. She traipsed forward with purpose, closing the length between us.

With great difficulty I strained myself back to necessary reality. The curtains stirring to the breeze above me didn't register firstly, my brain temporarily muddy. The more I blinked, the more the haziness cleared, the more I perceived my surrounding. The unidentified room beautified with antique furnitures I know cost a fortune alarmed me to sit up. I shifted to crawl out of the middle of the super comfort bed I'm in, it proved challenging. The further I struggled, the further I sank in the mattress. Adamant, I redoubled my effort, clawing until I neared the edge and spilled on the carpeted floor, breaking my fall with my side.

Groaning, I got up using the accursed bed to support my rise. Looking down, I hissed at the revealing dress vestured on my body, tempted beyond imagining to rip off the sheer fabric. Common sense, however restrained my intent. Unless I fancy give whoever brought me here an eyeful, best if I keep the garment on. Slowly, memories of the previous place I was in streamed into my mind. Stubbornly, I chose to ignore it. Call me stupid, but I'd prefer to forget them and focus on this current situation; finding a way out of whatsoever where this is.

The six steps I took resulted in a spine-chilling growl echoing in the room. Heart in throat, I whirled round clocking on the eyes glaring out of a dim corner. I didn't think; grabbing the object behind - a pillow - I lifted it threateningly, feet planted apart. "Go on, come out! Show your stinking face and I'll make you know this pillow is more than enough to destroy you!" I was quivering. Nevertheless, I didn't back down.

"That's harsh. And here I thought you and Ilya will turn out to be the best of friends, whereas her stationary vigil by your side." Carrying a silver tray, a tall man emerged from the shadows, putting me on farther defence. In despite of how I didn't want it to, his aesthetic, European looks bugged me. Not to sound conceit or bitter, but one cannot be this stunning. A year ago, I interned in a high ranked, plastic surgery hospital gifted with talented surgeons, seen numerous results of their best cosmetic and body reconstruction surgeries. None of them ever neared turning out as this guy. His is impossibly unnatural. Wary, I watched him walked across the room, gliding more like it with feline grace, to a gold stool and set the tray down. The material of his blue shirt stretched at the back as he bent, moulding against the muscles of his colossus shoulders. "I had this made for you. I thought you might be hungry after you awake."

A guttural sound I'd sworn sound like talking came from the corner tall, gorgeous and vexation emerged from. He understood what was said cause he wondered aloud, "Hmm, I'd say it's a little bit of both, Ilya. Do you think I should reveal my identity to her?" A growl came as a reply. "I'd chain her to the bed and ravish her till she lose consciousness before she finished the thought." If I thought the dark looks of the men who wanted to purchase me was bad enough, it's definitely nothing compared to the vehemence lust and possessiveness glistening in the aquamarine orbs evened on mine. I withered under its arresting power, the defiance urging me on seconds ago fled like a dog with its tail between its legs. I automatically distanced myself, padding back until my butt bumped against one of the pole of the bed. His gaze remained unwavering. In spite of the distance amid us, I could feel his hands on me. Peeling off the flimsy fabric, caressing my arms and back with the lightest touch, fingers drifting towards my legs....

He caressed my bare forearm.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvzSUvpXnir
"You couldn't proximate the range to me in a blink. No human is capable of-"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFlkQmXf06o
"You're incognizant concerning vampires?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqxy5bTMYBB
"Why shouldn't I? No one takes the fabricated name seriously. They're not real,"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyKK8SSXl5
"Who is no-one?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmkBw0mxJ00
I wetted my dried lips. "The whole world,"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv99FWwpK24
"If Leena hadn't assured me I'd think you hit your head. The world recognizes vampires, Love. It has since The Cataclysm,"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvnPzA9fhAe
What? My chest tightened, "I don't- there isn't- there isn't any Cataclysm...." His scrutiny sucked the rest of the sentence.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2uFATwmXT
"Where were you taken?" He asked lowly.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡci4HAfV0GT
"Taken? I-I don't-"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv2mTqMrV3N
"Where did Commerian steal you from before bring you to the Slave Zone?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjX9laX7c8C
"I can't say. I mean I was asleep in my apartment when I heard crying, one I miscued was my sister binge watching anime to irritate me because she does it severally. Only stirring, I saw I wasn't on my bed longer." I rambled, extracting a frown.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnNDoGmHYeu
"Where is the apartment?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYTBmWNbCKh
"Coushatta, Louisiana." I found these questions odd.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyVhK9uQ6RS
"Which year is it?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxSCrjfeJu
"Um, 2020,"

Basically he's not just a rapist and psycho, he's likewise delusional. Stupendous. "I'm doubtful of one little issue," He tucked me off my feet, flaunting an impressive portion of vigor of holding me steady. "Pardon me for this," I was unprepared for his mouth covered mine, rendering me dumbfounded. Flashes went off in my head. Buildings exploding under the atomic bombs, tonic time bombs defused above rivals' countries which boomeranged by spreading to contaminating the atmosphere, mutilated... things of distinctive size spawning from the aftermath and butchering the humanity, supernatural creatures surfacing, sticking around as preservers of the surviving wights....

"I'd like an audience with the Alpha."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw5ErRdUwHd
"What time is your appointment with him?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eTt2gMAgv
"I-I don't have an appointment, but what I have to inform him is of utmost importance. I need to see him now, without delay."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTOujoT2r4g
"You know the rule; without an appointment you can't see The Alpha. He's a busy man, you peasants ought to know that. Besides, do you think purely cause you want to see him he'd simply dump whatsoever he's doing and come rushing to attend to your whims and whines? You're wasting my time. Next!"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkRZ4xLt1fV
"Wait, wait! I found her! I found her. The Regal Luna. I've seen her."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ53MCkY5ia4
The conversation around hushed.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPDMx9AEH2r
A short-lived smugness fluttered through Simus before a hand wrapped around his throat and raised him off the floor. "You must be daft and suicidal for making such fairytale claim."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPua2aECpXj
"But, But it's true." Sharp claws elongated into his neck, stabbing and drawing blood. "I saw her-" With a savage roar, Simus was slammed into a stony surface. A guttural cry choked out his throat as hot pain shot all over his body.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5iFyLSYqnL
"You deceitful, idiotic fool! You say that lie again and I'll-"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡytBPaZoNzW
"Devenick." The snarling were overhead Simus stopped. A mahogany skinned woman clad in the royal council robe strutted through the parted crowd to where the males were. "You need to stop resolving to violence over any single irritation. The Regal Luna isn't forbidden to be spoken of. Why are you making a big deal over it?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYiZJYWnHgu
"It's not simply that, Esdel Cora. But this scum stumps to claim he's seen her, and he won't shut up about it."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc7GUKa2YKS
"Oh. Did he now?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9F4JHjV9T
Through slitted eyes, Simus noted as the woman drew closer. She sticked her elongated nails into the back of his neck, sending out a smidgen of her power in him, reviewing his recent recollection. She saw more than sufficient evidence to his asseveration.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpej8WpkzT
"Lister?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAEFEsIlFAS
"Yes, Esdel?" A ginger head, pale complexioned man materialized behind her.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5MAO2g61a7
"Take the fastest mount and intercept the Alpha before he get to The Folt. Tell him the Regal Luna has been found and she's at the Slave Zone and I'll meet him there. Go now!" Giving an hasty bow, Lister headed off to carry out the message.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGA1fYAhTlP
A slap whipped across his face prompted Simon's optics open. The Esdel's outrageous mien greeted him. She snatched him up like he didn't weight a thing. A sickeningly smile, promising immediate demise if he optioned to refuse, overtook her face as she said mildly, "Be a good doggie and take me to the Luna."

The royal guards stood their ground feet afar from the lone figure under the sakura tree, observing. Violet sphere, thin, incandescent and palpitating irregular, enshrouded well-nigh the entire tree. The one controlling the extraordinary light ball, Mikio Kozima, the 65th lord of the Kistunezakihama, sat on a mat, having his lids sealed and holding a letter. Via the words written on it, he was able to get mental images of the details scribble there.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qs71GaaJy
He saw his mate. Lush, lovesome with a discernibly dewy aura he'd scarcely believed. As though she was a commoner, she hauled and paraded fore those ill-bred, nefarious beasts of a heathens. Mikio tasted her fear. Her anguish and mortification. His heart halted for the briefest beat when he saw her clothes tore off. Outside the sphere, the sunny sky altered into angry storm clouds riped with rain and destruction in a spell. The Royal Guards hurried to construct a screen, using to ward against the stringent, icicle filled wind blasting around. It wouldn't do much to forfend them if their lord chose to vent more furore.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcGlmVI6K0
The sky cleared in a trice. As though nothing happened. The globe around Mikio dissipated and he got up. None approached the seething lord, until he passed and was couple feet off then they followed.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmJuHjDttmL
He's going to get his mate and Kami help anyone who oppose a enraged Celestial Kistune from his focus.

"But I've been training for two months and I still can't hit the center of the target!"

"Why not?"

"You're a fae. Naturally blessed with fifty times better eyesight compared to mine, not to mention your transcendent learning prowess. Me? I'm just a slow human with zip skill,"

Fae and human turned together, their mien annoyed. An uncustomary hyper fae with sienna hair pattered at them, grinning so broad the scrunch on Zraa melted. "What the-"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2WHdNl7Hp
Shooting the young child a warning look, Lessitrei, king of the Faerdref straightened, slipping back into the mask of the feared, bloodthirsty monster he's known to be. The fae closed in to him, temporarily forgotten his fear for his lord and rushed to whisper the account for his behaviour.
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVy0smfYcpl
Lessitrei didn't believe his ears. "Are you certain of this?"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTohip4IGY2
"With my life, Sire. It's true."
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ96qHYo2mR0
Zraa gawked at the first sincere smile curled at the edge of Lessitrei's mouth, surprised past words. To be frank it's even more scary, if likened to his sinister and mocking smirks. "Something tells me I'll hate the reason to your smiling,"
401Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu6gB52yNWL

Rumpelstiltskin glanced aback his shoulder, seeing the child he thought asleep fully awake and seated up. He sighed. Untwining his handhold from the knob, he padded to the ivory bed, setting his butt on the chair side it. "I have a little task I need to check, sweet. I won't be long."
