Started with Snow

Chapter 1

Snow's POV

The only memory I have of my parents is when I was pried away from their arms and their pleas not to take me. Their red eyes staring back at, me my mom's brown wavy hair and the feel of my fathers stubble against my cheek. After that, all I felt was fear and loneliness. No happiness, joy or hope, until now.

I was currently sitting naked in a cage with my knees up against my chest, I couldn't feel the cold but it would be nice to have a blanket or something. I was dirty, my gums tingled from the fact that I was hungry and haven't had a decent meal in a long time. The cage I was in for a week was in one of the four corners in what looked like an underground basement. Cages littered the walls and some were stacked on top of each other. People were crying and others were silent like me. I could hear people shouting, laughing and cussing above me which made me think there was going to be an auction soon.

I lifted my head up to the sound of a screech in a door hinge. A man's heavy boots clapped against the stone steps as he neared the floor, I could make out his features thanks to me being a vampire but the small barbed window helped. He was a dark haired white man with a slight beard, he wore black clothes that hugged his body and a gold necklace with a ring around it. He looked around with a clear look of distaste.

"Get up, get up all you disgusting filth. I hope you get some very nice master's today" the sarcasm dripping from his voice as he smiled, I shivered at the thoughts he could be thinking.

He reached out to his left and took the lock on a cage in his palm then stuffed his other hand in his jeans pocket. When his hand retreated it came out with a key, he jammed it into the lock and with a click it unlocked then he let it clatter to the floor. The rude man opened the cage door wide then slipped the key back in his pocket. The cages were not that big so he did not have to stretch his arm far to take hold of a woman's arm that resided in there yanking her out. She gave a little whimper but he just snorted and dragged her to the steps and up them, when they were out of sight the atmosphere down here was tense like it was their death bed.

I wasn't new to this, I've been through this process before. I have had two other owners one died and the other, well let's just save that for a different time. After a little while the disgusted man came back and one after another he brought them up the stairs, no one came back and the closer he got to me the more my stomach twisted.

Finally when he came back this time it was a little blonde girls turn that was next to me. She looked like 6 years old or so and from the smell of her she was a werewolf. I knew she was scared out of her mind for she had been crying the whole time we've been here. He unlocked her cage but that just made her wail more, he grabbed her by the arm and snapped at her.

"Shut up that will not help you, now be a good girl and shut your trap" the scent of urine hit my nose. I looked at her legs they were wet as pee dribbled down them, the disgusted man must of noticed because he dropped her.

"Disgusting filth, this is not worth the money" he grumbled to himself. I don't know what possessed me but I reached throughout the cage bars and touched her hand, it was small and soft as her body shook with fear.

"Hey you okay?" I knew it was stupid to ask but I didn't want to give her false hope, like telling her everything was going to be fine. She looked at me with her face streaked full of tears and shook her head no. The best thing I could do would be to hope she got a good person to buy her.

"Hey what are you doing?" The disgusted man practically growled

"How about you put her back and take me? I'm sure people are waiting" my voice was hoarse and I didn't bother to look at the man in the eyes anymore than a few seconds. His eyes widened in realisation and grabbed the key again to unlock the cage I was in. I walked out as he shoved her in the cage I previously was in and locked it back up. As he ushered me to the steps I took one last look around and hoped I would never seen something like it again.
