Lucie P.O.V
I walk into a shelter promising to sell human beings. A man suddenly appears and tells me to look around.
As I walk, I notice many people locked in cages, but one boy catches my attention, he is called Almos, and he's bruised, not like the others.
Almos : P-Please don't h-h-hurt me.
As I stare into his eyes, I see something so innocent. He's scared.
Almos : Why a-are you staring a-at me?
Lucie : I will take you with me...
His eyes widen and he smiles at me.
Almos : D-Do you w-want to b-buy me?
I nod then I make a sign to the seller.
Lucie : How many he costs?
Seller : Sighs He costs 1000 dollars, he's the most well behaved in the shelter so he costs alot.
I give him the 1000 dollars without hesitation like money wasn't a problem. He takes the money with a laugh, the man then goes to Almos and opens the lock.
As soon as he's free, he runs up to me and hugs me tightly.
Almos : Oh tha-that's the first time someone's ever bought me. He whispers and a tear runs down his face.
Lucie : I will make you the happiest human being!
I carry him in my arms tenderly. He nods and cries onto me. I feel that he has finally found a owner, one that will care for him, and I feel his trust building up as he cries.
He waves back and closes the shelter doors. Once I leave the building I can feel the boy hugging me tight. I feel his trust increasing by the second as the boy still cries.
He looks up at me with tears in his eyes, his green eyes look up at me with so much happiness. He wants to be near me the entire time. This is the first time he feels safe around someone.
I wipe his tears and look at him with benevolence. He leans his head onto my shoulder and continues to look up at me. He has so much trust and love building up towards me. I've unlocked the key to his heart.
We enter in my house, it was cozy and luxurious at the same time. He looks around in amazement, he has never seen such a luxury in his life, his mouth opens a little as he stares around, he's in awe.
Lucie : First I will make you take a bath...
He nods and gets carried to the bathroom. He doesn't resist me at all. He seems comfortable and happy with my every action.
His body is bruised and scarred. His skin is pale and dirty, the boy seems shy as I take off his clothing, he's too weak to move.
I look at his body in shock and run warm water. I hold him by the shoulders for him not to lose balance.
His shoulders tremble and he looks down, he feels safe with me but also ashamed that I see his scarred body. It's not the way he wanted the first time he'd be seen naked.
I turn off the water when it comes to his waist level. His arms tremble as he sits in the warm water. He feels relaxed. Some bruises and scars seem to be infected from the filth but many are too old to be treated.
The water hides his flaws and makes him look clean and more healthy. He's waiting for some attention and care from me.
He closes his eyes and lets me wash him gently. As I am washing his body, I notice that he starts to relax. His shoulders no longer tremble and he takes in a deep breath. The bruises hurt but he remains silent, not wanting me to worry for him.
