"Going once, going twice, SOLD!" The gavel fell with a loud bang onto the auctioneers table. Kelly stepped forward, watching as the eager man rushed forward, money in hand, dropping it on the table before he grabbed her. He could hardly wait to get her home before he started tearing her clothes off. The thing that followed was the pain. The suffering. The anxiety. It was sometimes too much for Kelly to bear, being beaten if she made a mistake, being starved if she talked back, and being raped nearly every night. It was all against her will and she fought to make it not happen, but it always happened. She couldn't stop it from happening, but maybe she could prevent it from ever happening again. She wasn't afraid of death. Anything would be better than the pain. ANYTHING. Entering this in the #wattys2016 but I don't expect to even get an honorable mention (lol)

"Are you crazy?!" He asked me for the zillionth time. "Yes!" I replied, hopping over another trap. "How did I end up having you as a partner?" He muttered under his breath. I giggled, "You better hurry up, rookie, 'cause I can sense hounds coming our way." "Hounds?" Before I could answer, an alarm going off stopped me. I giggled, "Time to die!" ▪▪▪ Dayana (Nope, it's not Diana, it's Dayana),more known as Ana, is your typical crazy bitch. Well, not crazy as in thinking aliens are real. More like the 'oh-there's-a-killer-I-should-go-play-with-him' crazy. Maybe that's why she's in a gang... more specifically the 'ace' of the gang. Xander is that 'cute-boy-next-door' kind of guy. He's super sweet. Most girls swoon for him, others already think their 'together' just because he's sweet to them. Most boys wanna be his friends to be with girls, while others wanna be his friend 'cause of his friendliness. Although our dear Xander here is sweet, he can't help but get in trouble himself. So when you see a girl killing someone with a candy cane (I am so SORRY for all those candy lovers out there), he is forced to join a gang which his father used to be a part of in his youth. Buuuuut, do you guys know who candy cane girl is? You already know so I won't have to tell you. {Highest Rankings- #40 in Humor, #6 in 'weird', #2 in friend-zone}
