"𝐕𝐈𝐍𝐍𝐈𝐄 𝐕𝐈𝐂𝐊𝐎𝐑, number 287, step forward," the microphone in the auctioneer's hand rang and squeaked. I didn't understand why he needed a microphone when its voice itself was already loud enough for everyone across the room.
As I stood in the middle of the stage, with tight metal handcuffs restricting my arm movement and shiny plastic tape taped across my mouth, about thirty to forty aliens in front of the stage were shamelessly gawking at me, while I trembled on my knees.
I'm going to be sold away to cruelty.
I wanted to run, to scream and cry and break free from the trap I was born into, to dash out of this room and never see another alien in my long, empty life.
Perhaps I could.
But handcuffs were tightly wrapped around my hands, tight enough to stop me from manipulating them.
I didn't fight back nor did I try to break free from the handcuffs. I knew what would happen to children who do. It's only unfortunate that as I stood there for entertainment-hungry aliens to soak in my patheticness, I couldn't help but wish. Wish that everything was different, wish that I wasn't 'made' into this world where humans, like me, were sold at illegal auctions for aliens to use for their own pleasure, as if I was some animal, some doll.
The auctioneer's raspy voice came into picture. "This little one, very quiet," he continued, "but very obedient. Worth the investment, I would say. She has potential to be very talented."
The energy in this room shifted the second he mentioned 'very obedient'.
Very obedient, she'll listen to your every command. Very obedient, she'll work hard to please you. Very obedient, she's perfect.
If I'm 'very obedient', I'm worth it. I'm worth full price, worth the investment. After all, no one wants a rebellious pet. You wouldn't want your dog to chew your curtain and knock over your glass of milk.
How cruel, is my only thought. How cruel, for the universe to allow me to enter into this world. How cruel, for me to ever have been made.
"We'll start at," the auctioneer thought for a moment before speaking up, "10000 auros."
Bets started piling up while the tension in the room was rising noticeably. The price was going higher and higher, before a new voice had spoken up, silencing the overwhelming crowd.
"100,000 auros."
"Sold, to the gentlewoman in green ribbons!" the auctioneer tapped the gavel on a sound block, signifying her purchase.
The handcuffs were eventually removed by the auctioneer, before I was pushed in front of my now owner, who lifted a collar on my neck.
"Beauty, isn't she?" a male alien, who I recognize as her husband, swooned.
She gave a small smirk, before turning around, signaling me to follow her.
"Beauty indeed."
