Started At An Auction

"Gingers Are My Type."

Fun Fact! Agatha prefers the company of animals than humans. Especially the ones other people labeled as dangerous.

Agatha was in a trance by the cub's eyes. He was no longer in an attack stance but was now sitting on his hind legs with his tail swaying behind him. Their bonding was interrupted by the loud Auctioneer. "Ah! Ms. Sparrow; or should I call you Dr. Sparrow?"

"The first one will do," she answered with a stoic tone. The atmosphere suddenly turned tense to the Auctioneer as Agatha- along with Horus marched towards him. "Unlock the cage."

"Excuse me, madam?" He glanced at the guard holding an iron leash and a muzzle. Then at the cub and Agatha.

"Open the cage... and have someone bring the cage to my estate. I'm sure you already know where since you follow me on Instagram." She dropped Horus's leash, alarming both the Auctioneer and the guard.

"B-but Ms. Spar- " He stuttered but yelped when the Cane Corso bared his teeth.

"Don't worry about me being eaten or killed," she mocked a smirk, "I already transferred the money on your bank account." She opened her hand to the guard. "The key please? He is mine now, so I can do whatever I want with him, can't I?"

Looking passed her, the guard saw his boss nod at him with a tight smile while glancing back and forth at the huge dog in front of him. The Auctioneer still believed that Agatha is has Mafia blood running in her veins, so in fear for his own life he couldn't say no. But even without such blood relations, Agatha is still and very lethal.

While the guard was handing her the key, he believed she was naïve, so he prepared the Taser gun from his pocket. She eyed it as she backed away with the key in hand. "Oh is that for you, buddy? So you can Taser yourself unconscious while this little guy mauls you?" She humorlessly laughed. "I'm kidding. You guys," she pointed at the two of them, "have no sense of humor." Little did she know, the figure behind the stage curtains chuckled at her morbid joke.

She pulled a zip-lock bag filled with raw bacon and a black harness from her purse. Horus stuck his tongue out when his mother pulled one out and offered it to the cub.

Slowly and tauntingly, he came closer. He made himself seem intimidating to everyone, but not in Agatha's eyes. In her perspective, he's just being careful, something that she isn't right now. In mere seconds the cub pounced and swung his sharp claws at her hand. She didn't retract her hand, but only pushed it in even more until what the claws hit was the sleeves of her dark coat. Her elegant, but strong coat. If it would have been any other person wearing the coat, they would have surely broken their wrist or forearm by the cub's strength. But Agatha timed the impact correctly.

She held her stare at the tiger and still waved the bacon at his face. With a high pitch roar, the cub dove in to bite her hand. This time she retracted her hand and shoved the other in. Her empty hand shot out to tickle the back of his ears as his mouth was inches away from her other.

The two- three males' attention did not waver from the two. They didn't know if she was just unbelievably lucky or skilled. But not a doubt what caused the cub to get into attack mode was the zapping Taser gun.

Agatha shushed him as he fell into her hand while purring. Using catnip with her perfume was a great idea. "Since you're very cunning and monochrome, I'm going to name you CJ or Jackie for short. Yes~ you'd like that one, huh?" She giggled in between in the end.

CJ bit into the bacon and swallowed it whole then went for her hand. His teeth weren't that sharp and with her garment, it felt like he was just nibbling her hand gently. "Oh I love you already!" She fed him another one before putting the harness on. And was relieved when it fit him just right.
