The Lady Shadowhive and her demon butler Lucius Dracovich

Ciel Up For Auction (short)

Ciel's POV

Ugh... what on earth... where am i? Where's Jade. ahh my head... i need to figure out where i am, but the last thing i remember is walking into a scented room and then blacking out. I moved my arms slightly and felt something rub against my wrists keeping them together while they stayed behind my back. Why are my hands tied? Wait a minute.... I can't see anything... There must be a blindfold over my eyes but i can hear voices.. is that the Viscount? I tried to speak and thats when i felt the presence of something around my mouth. I pressed my tongue against it and felt fabric, oh great i'm gagged... What is the Viscount saying... something about small size and stature... i felt myself moving and i turned my head quickly as i tried to figure out how i was moving when my legs were perfectly still... Am i in a cage? Where are they taking me... Questions flooded my mind as a curtain was lifted off the cage that held me captive. It was clear to me then that there was no blindfold on me but it was the curtain that kept me from seeing what was around me, but now that it was gone i could see a woman pushing my cage turning me to face the small private audience as the Viscount gestured at me while speaking.

"And now we have this delicate robin, she can be good for cleaning and other work. She does have different colored eyes but i believe that would make her an interesting addition to the more discreet collectors. Where shall we start the bidding?"

So this was what he did, he ran a black market sale.. and he sold women. hm, well it's not what i was expecting but i need to try and get this gag off before i end up being sold to one of these perverts....

"I bid 200 pounds"

My eyes widened as i saw a man in the audience raise a small sign while announcing his bid. What.... he's putting 200 pounds on me? Theses bastards are really sick, i will make sure to deal with each one of them later but for now i needed to get this gag out of my mouth. i can't get sebastian here if i can't speak. As i sat there groaning silently trying to push the gag out the prices went up higher and higher until a voice spoke loudly while he placed his bid.

"I bid 600 pounds, but i want to see both of her eyes and i want to hear her voice."

My eyes widened as the Viscount had the lady that must have been his assistant go down to the man and escort him up closer to my cage.

"Very good sir, now we will show you her eyes, and i think you'll enjoy her voice as well."

The cage door opened and the Viscount stepped in and removed the gag from my mouth at which i took the chance to shout.

"Sebastian save me now! This is an order!!"

The whole audience seemed shocked by the booming sound of my voice, most likely because of how boyish it sounded. The Viscount slipped away without my noticing to somewhere i did not know. The guests looked at me in confusion and a few of them turned to leave, but soon the candles lighting the room went out and the sound of people being thrown into walls or thrashed about filled my ears. When the light returned i saw most of the audience was gone and Sebastian was walking towards me smiling as he fixed his coat.

"My my, you seem to be in trouble my young lord."

"Oh shut it you git.. and take me home"

"Yes master.."

With this he undid my bonds and lept across the building rooftops taking me back to the manor, Jade had not crossed my mind at any point as i was mainly focusing on getting out of this dress and taking a long bath to remove the presence of the Viscount's touch upon my body. Ugh if i ever had the chance to see the Viscount again, i will be beating him to a pulp with my bare hands!!
