Our Challenge

Inside.

Lyric POV

"When you get to the front tell me how many men you had sex with. If you don't know just be honest." A man with a heavy Australian accent says.

I peek from behind a woman and see the man with an eagle on his shoulder.

I smile, "My birdie."

The woman turns to look at me. She looks me up and down, "You're not from here, are you?"

I gasp, "How did you know? How can you tell? I didn't do anything yet?"

"Yet? Who are you?"

I cover my mouth, "Oops." Kade's going to be mad.

I laugh and look around, "I can't kill you because then I will be in more trouble. Hmm. What should I do?"

I look at the woman behind me and she quickly looks away, "Why can't you be like her? Ignore me."

She rolls her eyes, "How many men have you slept with?"

I spin and hold up my index finger, "One! Only one!"

She grabs my finger and puts it down, "Keep your voice down."

I look at her hand which is still holding my finger. "Let my finger go."

She lets my finger go and sighs, "Seriously, how many men have you slept with?"

I cross my arms and look away from her, "One. I said one. Why do you keep asking? How many have you slept with? Let me guess, you don't know."

She put her hands on her hips, "Correct."

I quickly look at her and uncross my arms, "Woah, that many?"

She nods her head, "Didn't have a choice on many of those occasions."

The line moves up and she sighs, "I have a feeling you will need some help in what you're doing. I want to help because I want to get out of here, so whoever is working with you tell them I'm coming no matter what."

I give her a look, "Okay."

She looks at me as if I grew two heads, "Are you serious?"

I nod my head and I wave my hand, "Yeah, I don't care if you come or not. If you die it won't matter to me."

We both look at the woman behind us and she quickly looks away, "You're minding your business, huh?"

The other woman laughs and I look at her.

We get to the front and I see that the man is Auton. I look at the eagle and smile.

"How many men have you slept with?" He asks the woman.

She holds up her index finger and my eyes widen.

Auton raises his eyebrow and writes on his clipboard, "We got our first good woman for the night."

He motions for someone to take her away.

I walk up to him and he looks at me, "How many men have you slept with?"

"One."

He looks at me and smiles, "Another one."

A man comes and takes me down a hallway. He guides me to a room and in the room is the woman from before.

The man closes the door and I hear his footsteps fade away.

I look at the woman, "What's going on now?"

The woman sighs as she sits on the bed, "Since we've only slept with one man we're considered to be high dollar. We have to clean ourselves and make ourselves presentable to the men who are ready to buy."
