"Stay away from me you pervert!", I screamed at the delicious stranger in front of me hiding behind the large deep red couch. I stumbled backward clumsily on a tuft of rug that sat behind me. It wouldn't have been a danger to any normal person. But I have to be the clumsiest person on the planet.
I landed on my butt on the hardwood with a loud thud. Ouch. That'll definitely bruise.
"Aw Cara, now why would I have to stay away from something that is mine?, I did just pay for you after all". His voice was deep, sultry and very addictive.
He smirked broadly down at me with his electric blue eyes, taking an extra step towards me, shoving away the couch that was supposed to be saving me away effortlessly. How is that even possible? That couch should've weighed a tonne!.
His smile broadened further as he took in my frightened expression.
"Are you scared?" He looked down over my body hungrily at what I was wearing. A shiver crept down my spine as I noticed the slightly pointed fangs amongst straight white teeth and full chapped lips.
"Yes" the whispered voice left my trembling lips.
"Good". Was all he said before he lunged himself towards me.

Night Before:
"Cara come get a drink with me!" My best friend Sophie screamed over loud, thumping music.
"Sure!" I had to yell back just for her to hear me. We made our way through an ocean of swaying, sweaty bodies and over to the bar where a very cute guy was serving drinks to many people yelling their orders.
It looked like we were in for a bit of a wait. The guy looked over at us, probably noticed Sophie with her gorgeous flirtatious grin she always wore at places like this and made his way in our direction. Maybe we wouldn't be waiting long for drinks after all...
We ordered several shots each and downed them at the bar and were ready for the night.

Several hours later I was completely drunk and walking out of the club alone as once again, I was left by myself with friends going in all directions with guys holding them upright or sucking their faces off. Sophie told me tonight she'd come home with me, it was our sleepover night as well that traitor. Now what do I do? She was my ride!.
I pulled out my phone and dialled up her number. "Haha, stop it, Its Cara" My friend giggled or more slurred over the line. I suppressed a shudder only imagining what she was getting up to.
"Sophie!, you were supposed to drive me home tonight! Where are you?" I seethed down the phone.
"Calm down hun, your apartment is just around the corner, just walk". And with that she hung up the phone leaving me with my mouth gaping at how casual she was being when she knew I hated walking around alone!.
I snapped my phone shut and started walking. Sophie wasn't completely wrong when she said my apartment was just around the corner, it was really close but that didn't mean I wanted to walk around alone in the dark in heels.
The street was lit up giving me a false sense of security, it was cold out tonight and I was feeling more and more uneasy about walking around like this.
I was scared and alone, walking clumsily and might I add, drunk, down an empty street.
I walked around a corner leaving me out of sight of the club and feeling more alone and vulnerable than ever. Have you ever felt like there's eyes watching you around every bent, in every alleyway and dark spot. That's exactly how I was feeling now. That feeling washed away my drunkness as I sped walk faster towards my apartment building which was now in view. I was getting so close!. I felt like the shadows were following me and got closer the closer I got to my building. I busted to a full blown sprint but these horrendous shoes weren't helping at all!.
I finally got to the light under my apartment building, feeling relived that I'd made it. I looked around me for any sight of another person before reaching into my purse for my keys.
A soaked rag was placed over my mouth and nose while cold arms grabbed at my waist. I muffled a scream through the chemical covered rag, kicking and punching at the air, wriggling desperately trying to get away or at least get someone's attention, my heart was beating rapidly to the point I thought it wold burst out of my chest. All I heard before drifting off into the blackness was soft cooing, telling me to sleep, hushing my screams. Blackness shrouded my vision before I was completely out.

I awoke, my head thumping, my wrists aching and in need of a big glass of water. I tried to focus in on where I was and what happened last night. Did I get drunk and go back to someone's house?.
The memories flooded back to me, making my head hurt worse, the cooing in my ear, the chemical soaked rag and those cold iron arms wrapped securely around my waist. I sob escaped my lips as I took in where I was. The cold white room that looked almost like a hospital room, it was too white. I searched the room taking in my surroundings, I wasn't alone here, there were girls all around me, all of them different, not one the same. Aside from them all being unconscious. The girl closest to me was a tall, leggy blonde with a thin frame, her hands ties behind her back were red and bruising like she had made a desperate fight when they took her. Which I assume all of these girls were taken the same way as me. Alone, walking around the street. There was another girl close by, she was a petite Asian girl with long, straight black hair, her hands were tied to the front of her.
The more I looked around the room the more confused I got, there was a girl with red hair, several brunettes with completely different figures and features, several blondes, the cute Asian girl and me. I was nothing above average I thought, Sophie was much more attractive than me. I had raven hair that I received from my dads side, I few light freckles sprinkled over my high cheeks and nose, I had a very small frame, nothing over 5 foot 2, I has a thin waist and a few curves, nothing that really stood out though like the other girls here who were all gorgeous in their own way, other than my eyes which I luckily received off my mum, they were bright emerald green and I loved them.
The blonde girl next to me stirred lightly before shooting into an upright position, she started hyperventilating while trying to adjust to the bright white room. She looked around hopelessly over the other girls before her eyes landed on me.
"Where are we?" She asked me desperately, my light blue eyes almost popping out of her head.
"I honestly don't know". I told her looking down at the floor.

The girls awoke one by one, each having their own reaction to the situation we were in. I had got to know the blonde girl that woke up first, her name was Avera and she was taken the same way as me, except more drunk and stumbling down the street completely unaware apparently.
Most of the girls were sobbing to themselves quietly, while there was one girl who took the news the worst. She had fiery red hair that matched her temper, light freckles and pale skin, she jumped up and started screaming and ramming the only door in the room with her shoulder furiously. Nobody stopped her, we just let her take out her rage on the door.
A shuffling and talking was heard outside the door before two large men opened in. They smiled at all of us too happily.
"Good morning ladies, today you are going to be sold to the highest bidder".
