Nina
Just what the hell happened right now? My head was too foggy to process and think the collage of incidents happened in the last one hour.
After being collared forcefully, they put a piece of cloth on my mouth, in case if I had started to scream.
Then I was thrown into the auction dias. Before me three other people, one girl and two boys got sold off in front of my eyes. These crazy people were throwing unimaginably huge amount of money to acquire them.
Then it was my turn. The fox like man on the auction stage started to demonstrate my features like I was the new model of iphone released in the market. Tears were rolling down from my cheeks like rivers. The hungry looks on the faces of the predatory people present there started to provoke the thoughts about my fate in the back of my mind. I wanted to scream like hell.
Then something happened. I was nearly sold to a middle aged cocky man, when out of nowhere two women threw fifty lakhs on the face of the anchor and asked for me in some 'inspection' room. What am I? A tennis ball? When the anchor tried to protest, they simply took the name of some 'Queen' or 'Alpha' and that was enough to turn the whole hall into a spell of silence.
And then I noticed them. When they were beside the dias. I knew them. I had assisted one of my seniors while interviewing both of them. One of them was Renee Hassan, one of the most prominent actresses in the film industry. And the other was, Sohini Guha, another budding actress, who even got awarded for her excellence last year! What Is Happening?
What am I getting into? Is it some medieval period's role playing? The riches of the town are pretending to be queen, alpha, commander and what else? I am sold to a queen? A Queen? Seriously?
And then another pair of hands grabbed my shoulders and pulled me into another pool of darkness.

"Where is she? Why isn't she here already? " she growled under her breath after seeing Renee and Sohini entering in the inspection room.
"They are bringing her here. They are just collecting all of her belongings to submit them to us. And probably making her presentable for your eyes!" Renee tried to assure her.
She knew something was wrong with their Queen. Being so agitated, and impatient was not one of her typical behaviors. But she also knew it was not the right time to ask the reason.
"May I come in madam?"
"Yes, you may." Sohini looked up and found one of the Club's managers is standing behind the frame of the door.
The manager meekly entered the room, probably tried to avoid the Queen consciously. He handed over a backpack and a packet and a mobile phone to Sohini. "That's what we got from her madam. "
"Ok. Thank you." Sohini said curtly to the man, who was probably tensed beyond her imagination.
"And bring my thing as fast as you can. I don't have all day to fool around here." A voice growled from the back of the room, which made the manager's skin crawl.
"Ye-yes Ma'am. Just a couple of minutes." He ran past the room as fast as he can.

Nina
They took me to another room from the auction hall. I saw that woman... Kay... again.
"Eh, so the queen? " she asked one of the men.
"Yes, she looked profitable. But I haven't thought in my dreams that the queen will take her. Lucky bitch." They chuckled.
Kay took the leather collar off from my neck. "The queen's slave must be wearing a gold collar. This will not suit you anymore." Kay grinned at me.
They are getting out of my nerves. Are all of them crazy?
"I have handed over her belongings to the queen. Get her in the inspection room as soon as you can. She was not in a very decent mood a couple of minutes ago." An elderly man entered the room and instructed Kay in a rather worried manner.
Kay put a handcuff on my hands hurriedly and gave the other guard instructions to accompany me. "Don't you dare to misbehave in front of her, and don't talk unless spoken to. And yes, if you want to live, Don't ever try to escape." she warned me and left the room.
Ok. Think something Nina. Think somthing!!!You can't end up like this. You can't escape right now. But may be later? May be when they will transfer you from this place? By the way, where are you? You don't even know that! But you have to escape. Just keep your eyes open.
" Let's go kid. To your new owners." one of the guards pushed me to walk. And I followed him like an obedient dog. Because that was the only option left, to survive.

The Queen
A woman entered the inspection room a couple of minutes after the manager left.
Well. My head started to heat up. And deep inside my heart I really wanted to beat this fuckers black and blue. But then, the ancient part of my soul told me to calm down. And the other twos silently obeyed her.
The woman must have noticed my face. "She is coming Ma'am." she gulped, looking at the floor.
And then. She entered. A guard was accompanying her. The stains of tears were still visible on her brown cheeks. And the left cheek was slightly swollen up. Had she been beaten? And cuffs on her hand? Are they nuts?
Calm down. Don't do anything stupid out of anger. You are already very famous for your wrath.
I was sitting on a wooden stool placed in the corner of the room. Butterflies started to flutter inside my belly. This girl is going to be a great problem, I thought. At first she didn't notice me for sure. She was examining Renee and Sohini, perhaps with a little curiosity and astonishment, which was obvious because of their social status.
Certainly, once in a blue moon, you got to see two top notched actresses, who are in fact quite not human, in an underground auction hall!
Then the guard bowed to me. And then she noticed me. Sitting in the corner of the room. Majestically.
And her face showed multiple emotions in a split second. She immediately shifted her eyes from me to the floors. I chuckled. This is going to be fun. Probably she had seen me somewhere, TV maybe.
I rose from my seat and moved near to the girl. So many emotions were playing in the back of her mind. I can smell them perfectly. Such arousing smells. I smoothly lifted her face with my right hand to meet her eyes. Fear, awe and astonishment were clearly visible on her face. I was in fact hungrily devouring her emotions from her face.But, a drop of tear suddenly rolled out from her eyes. I took my hand back from her face immediately. Her fear is such a turn off.
"Get rid of this fucking handcuffs. She is already damaged enough ." I said, looking at her left cheek. Staying near to her, started to irritate me suddenly. I really wanted to touch her, to taste her sweet blood, to mark her slender neck with my fangs and do all those sinister things to her, one can think of. I had to get out of this place. Plus I had an interview to tolerate the next day.
"Put her things in the car. I am going home. Ask them to provide you a car, and bring her to the mansion." I told Sohini while pointing to the guards.
"Yes, Ma'am." Sohini nodded.
To be honest, despite her smart mouth, apart from Renee, she is one of those few of my kinds whom I can trust blindly.
Well, not my kind actually. I was the only one of my kinds--- the odd one, the superior one.
"I don't want a single scar on her, and keep the hands of these filthy buggers away from her. I will deal with her in the morning." I whispered in the ear of Renee befor leaving the room.
