'Sold!!'
My eyes opened wide.
'How could this happen! I gave myself a scar, a real one at that!'

I shakily get up, hearing all the whispers from the other girls that where there. Some of them were happy for me, while the others were jealous because of me.

I force my body to turn around and look at the madam.

I bow giving her my "thanks" for being allowed to be sold.

I make my way through the secret room, and open the door to the house. I walk almost stumbling with each step towards the front of the house. I tried my best to support myself to not fall in front of the madam.

We make it towards the front of the house only for me to see a man with a scared eye, dressed in dark red and black robes.

"I give as many thinks as I can. I can reassure you that she is one of a greatest, she will not disappoint."
The madam explained.

My arms were shaking, my legs were shaking, my whole body was shaking. My eyes where everywhere around the room looking for some sort of escape. But I new if I had tried to escape and I had gotten caught, I would be severely punished.

He put his hand out, asking me to grab it with just movement.

I reached my arm out and put my delicate hand on his rough ones. It felt as if his hands could give myself a whole knew scar.

I follow him towards the outside of the house and to a dark forest. The moon shined bright on my skin it look like I was glowing. With the moon light going on and off from all the trees my eyes were starting to hurt. I looked away from the moon and looked at the man next to me. The minute he turned his eyes to look at me I quickly adjust my eyes to look another direction.

"What's wrong? What are so scared for?"
His voice was low, it had sounded like he had a cut in his throat. Some of the woman back at the house would've found that voice so soothing, it was terrifying to me.

"...W-what will you.. do?"
I ask with my voice shaking within.

"I'll take you to my house of course. Then you will see."

I loosen my grip on his hand that I was holding, only to feel his hand grip tighter.

A few minutes later we had finally arrived at his "house" it looked more like a broken bird house. My legs were killing me on the way there, who takes a prostitute walking for thirty- two minutes.

If I had to be honest I don't think we were ever allowed to run.

He opens the door allowing me to go in.
His place looked exactly like it did on the outside.

"What's your name pretty lady?"

"...Nanika.. Ni Nanika."

"Well then Ni Nanika, would you be a dear and come sit over here."
He patted a seat next to him with a table that had so many papers the table shouldn't even be considered a table.

I walked over a sat down as elegantly as I could with trying to suppress my urge to run out.

He turns around and grabs some thing behind him. He pulled out a small cup full of red liquid, It was red as blood.

"Drink up."

"W-what is it...?"
I questioned, feeling scared of being commanded to drink the unknown liquid.

"It's just to help you stop all your shaking."

"..."

"What you thought I didn't notice? It's so noticeable I'm sure even a baby could notice."
He pushes the liquid closer to me urging me to drink it.

"What is it made from..."

"A Red Spider Lily, people say that this flower is truly rare and they sure were not lying it took me about two years to find it."

I pulled my sleeve back to avoid trying to get the liquid from dirtying my sleeve. I put the drink right on my lips trying my best not to shake and drop it, it did not smell the best so I as well held my breath. I opened my mouth and quickly poured the liquid down my throat. I swallowed the liquid quickly trying to avoid throwing it up, it tasted worser then it smelled. I still held the cup against my lips feeling as if my body had gone numb.

I drop the cup from my hands letting it fall into my lap, I didn't care anymore if my hanfu got messy. I could feel the blood in my body traveling throughout me and it changing temperature way to quickly, my hand were twitching, my eyes where getting irritated, my fingers tips hand gone cold, my vision hand gone blurry, my ears heard nothing else but ringing. It was terrible I had never felt this much pain in my body before. Saliva started to pull up in my mouth, I could smell everything, it felt like the change of seasons were going threw my body to fast to comprehend. Tears started to pool up in my eyes and soon found there way out. I feel back gripping the wood trying to stay awake.

"What's wrong feeling a little sleepy?"
He says in a teasing voice.

That made me so angry.
'I trusted him enough to drink that liquid, so why did he do this. Did he just think I was just some girl to experiment on!? How could he do this!'

My veins started to fill up with rage. I just wanted to scratch his face into oblivion. I needed him gone.
'He's the one that made me like this!'

Within a blink of a eye he was laying cold passed out on the ground, with bleeding scars all over his face. I was breathing heavily trying to catch my breath, as well as trying to process what I had done to the man.

I clenched my fist into balls and close my eyes trying to stop the tears from pouring out of my eyes.

My body started to get heavy and I had soon passed out.

'Now I really wonder what would've happened if I just refused to drink the liquid, maybe I would've still lived a normal life or maybe not.'
