Chapter 2

Lilac's POV:

When I woke up, I had a woven bag over my head. My wrists were bound together by some metal chains behind my back, and when I tried to speak I found my mouth stuck with duck tape. I could feel I was moving in a car because of the occasional bumps, but I had no idea how long I was unconscious for.

After what seemed like forever, the vehicle came to a sudden stop. I heard doors open, and through my sack I could see the bright sun pouring into wherever I was.

"Get up, time to walk," growled a deep voice. I did so, and only then I realised my ankles were also chained together. The man unlocked the chains and shoved me out of the vehicle, where I stumbled and fell onto my face. I heard laughter, making me wonder how many people there were actually involved in this bullshit. Suddenly, someone lifted me up and I started kicking again.

"Yo, get the chains back on this bitch," he growled, obviously annoyed. Soon, my ankle chains were back on, not before I kicked whoever was trying to put them on, earning me a slap. However, all I could think about was Amy. Please be ok Amy...

Amy's POV:

I was walking in between two heavily armed men, and I could see Lilac struggling against her captor ahead of me. If she was going to keep this up, then she'd get herself killed. Or worse.

About an hour later we arrived at some old, abandoned warehouse which nobody would look at twice. We entered through a side door, and they threw me and Lilac into some old room. The wall was a washed out colour of grey, the beds had scratchy woollen blankets and in the corner was a toilet and sink. I quickly went over to Lilac and took off the sack from her head, and ripped off her duck tape. She winced, but didn't complain.

"What are they going to do to us?" She whispered instead, eyeing the room with a look of disgust.

"Well, they'll come get us soon for bidding," I explained. "At the 'Bidding Centre' men will buy us,"

"What will they do with us?" Lilac asked.

"It depends. My previous 'owner' Kevin decided he didn't want to 'have any fun with me' so he made me clean and cook." I was just about to continue when a huge man came in and told us it was time to go to the 'Bidding Centre'. However, when I moved to get up he said that I will get Kevin, who will come collect me later. I just nodded and look down at the floor.

Lilac's POV:

The huge man carried me down to the ground floor, since apparently I still wasn't trusted to have the ankle chains taken off.

But, to be fair, I'd start kicking everybody within an arms length if they took these blasted chains off.

Webarrived in a big room with polished floorboards, leather seats, small coffee tables and black duck tape forming a line in the centre of the room. At the line where girls, a different variety of ages. The youngest one I could pick out was a blonde haired girl around 18, and the eldest in her early 30's. But no matter their age difference, they all had the same terrified look on their face.

I was kicking against the huge man as much as the chains would let me, but he just dropped me to the ground in the line. I quickly got up, and looked at the occupants in the leather chairs. They were all men in business suites with glasses of beer.

"Alright, first one up is this girl," the big man pointed at me, and my stomach twisted with disgust.

"£150,000" I heard someone yell.

"250,000" Another one said.

"£300,000!"

"Come on guys, the boss wants more than that!" The big man said with a smile.

"I'll give you £600,000," said a cold voice from the back of the room. Everyone looked up in surprise at a man in his mid 20's who walked down the room to me.

"3...2...1... sold!"
