Emma's P.O.V ~
I looked down at my knees as I sat in the corner of my cage. Not saying anything, in fear that I'd get beaten for no reason again. Not that I fought them. I learned the hard way not to do that. I took soft breaths as I listened to the men walk by the cages. Banging and shaking the cages to try and get a reaction out of the other girls and boys they had locked down here in this filthy basement. Cruel fun it was for them.There was 5 more girls and 4 boys. There was always 10. Even when one of us was sold, another unfortunate child would take their place. The oldest, was myself at 18. Though, to most, I looked 15. The youngest was a boy at the age of 10, his name was Fran. The poor boy was taken from his family at only the age of 4. I was the same. Except, I've been here since I was 6.
I flinched when Rick and Thomas came by and started kicking and banging on my cage. They smirked as I held my legs closer to my chest and buried my face into my knees. They were the reason I rarely talked nowadays. They always hurt me and beat me on a regular basis. I was surprised they haven't raped me yet. I guess it was because I wouldn't be worth the amount I was worth now if they did.
They left when they heard Ace, the main boss in their group of goons, call from upstairs. They sneered at me and left. I kept my eyes down and held my legs close to me. My dirty hair going around my face and into my eyes. I shivered as the coldness of the room caught up to my barely clothed body. I held myself close to the corner of my cage as I tried to keep myself warm.
After about 15 minutes, Rick and Thomas came back downstairs; the sound of heels following behind them. "As you can see. Miss Austin, we take very good care of the pets in our establishment," Thomas lied. It was always lies like that. "Then why are these young men and women in cages?" The woman asked, a strange accent following her tone. "To keep them in one place and so they don't hurt themselves," lied Rick. It was mainly so we didn't move around or try to run away.
I heard them move around. Thomas and Rick were showing the woman each of us individually. Naming us and listing all of our attributes as if we were dogs. It made me sick, but I said nothing. "What about this one?" I heard the woman ask as she walked over and stopped in front of my cage. Why would she want me? I'm ugly. I'm fat. I can't seem to do anything right even when I do. I'm a disgrace. "Oh her?" I heard Thomas,"She's useless." I bit my lip to keep my tears at bay. There was silence for a few seconds.
"I'll be one in charge of that." The woman said,"Go tell your boss that I want to buy her." I heard Thomas and Rick rush out of the room. I heard little movement. And then a soft voice. "It's okay, love. Those men are gone now. Can you look up at me, please?" I bit my lip before slowly looking up at the woman. My dull bluish-grey eyes meeting brighter blue ones. She was beautiful. Her pale features brought out her eyes and her deep dark red lips. Her dark eyebrows added to the prominence of her eyes.
She gave me a soft smiled. I didn't know how to return it, so I didn't. Everything seemed to be calmer with her near me. Like I could be at peace. But of course, it had to be ruined. Ace burst opened the door and stormed down the stairs and over to us. He looked at me and scowled at me. I frowned more and put my head down. "Are you positive you want to buy her, Miss Austin? She'd only give you trouble." He said to the woman. He was right. I'd only be a burden on her.
The woman's next words surprised me. "Yes, I want to buy her. How much?" "$500,000. She's a virgin so we like to keep her pricey." Ace answered the woman. "Done," Said the woman,"You release her, bring her up, and I'll write out a check." "Certainly." Ace said as he unlocked the door of my cage while the woman went back upstairs. He grabbed me by my hair and pulled me out of the cage before grabbing me by my wrists and taking me upstairs.
I didn't cry at the rough feeling. I kept my head down as I was handed to the woman. After a few moments, a gentle hand took my own and lead me out of the building. It was cold out so I held my arms around me to try and warm myself up. I bit my lip as I felt a coat being wrapped around me. All the while I was taken to a vehicle of some-sort. After hearing the door open, I was gently nudged in. I silently sat on the seat and put myself in the corner.
Hearing the door close, I looked at my hands. Slightly scared that I was gonna be hurt if I looked at her without permission. I felt her eyes on me. "Please look at me, love." I heard her say gently. I slowly looked at her. She smiled softly at me and moved closer to me. "Don't worry, love. We're gonna go home now." She said gently. I nodded slowly. "What's you're name, little one?" She asked me, slowly beginning to stroke my hair.
"E-Emma, M-Miss..." I said softly and slowly,"M-My n-name i-is E-Emma..."
