Sold 7

Let's get this show on the road then I thought. There are many women who were selected here over the years. I don't know what they do with old girls when they bring in new girls every year. I don't know if they give any money to these girls or is it another slavery. They were without conscience and hypocrites. They were using the same technology stolen from us and benefitting from it, while forbidding us to use the same.

I have two goals, one to get my aunt and second to kill Igor. But I have to be patient and shouldn't be impulsive. It's all about waiting for the right time. I'm a good hunter and all I have to do is that.

When I reached the central court, everyone was already there. "We have a late comer", somebody told, and everyone was laughing. Keep your head down, I was cautioned by another guard, but I ignored him. I was waiting to catch a glimpse of Igor. It had been ten years since I last saw him.

But the first person I saw was not Igor, but his son Lucien. He was looking at me as though bored, but his eyes held a different expression, more like a warning for me. I didn't bother to acknowledge him. I have zero time for him and his games. I'm here for something big to kill Igor and end our servitude. Humanity will break their chain again.

I noticed that Igor was not there yet. His chair was vacant but the procedure of introduction had started,, but I understood it was more of a passing time for them till the king comes. I was the last one to be introduced.

Just before I could say anything the king had come, forcing everyone one to stand up including Lucien. Igor was wearing a red suit and a phony crown, and I saw two guards who caused my mom's death. I clenched my teeth so hard it almost broke. He gave his father a casual hug and a nod, then just as the king sat on his throne everyone took their respective seats. None of the girls were given any setting arrangements, leaving all of us to stand awkwardly.

"Tell the King about your skills' girl", a guard nudged me. I didn't think about this part. I wanted to avoid singing some off-key notes or trip over trying to dance. I'm not excellent at both. "The girl doesn't have any I think my lord except in bedroom, said an old creep. It gave rise to many guffaw and chuckles. I waited for it to die down.

"I'm not without any skills my lord, if only you provide me with a bow and arrow I will happily show it to you ", I said with a fake meekness. "Give her what she wants ", said Igor, his face was evil and salacious. Lucien looked as though he wanted to stop them,, but he didn't say anything.

I was given a wooden bow and arrow. "What should I aim, my lord?", I asked Igor. Calling me lord was making me nauseous,, but I have to keep up the ploy. "Why don't you aim at the white wall ", he said, pointing at the wall?

It was a plain wall were a big portrait of Igor hung. I looked at the portrait, he was holding a dead deer in the portrait. I inhaled for a moment and flung my arrow which stroke on the neck of the deer. Everyone was too shocked to see my aim. I was given a clap by everyone except Lucien who just looked at the arrow and me then looked away.

Everyone applauded my skill and daring. Igor looked as though he didn't appreciate it much,, but he had no choice but to serve his part of pleasing all. I didn't bask in the warmth of their appreciation because I know better. They don't really care for humans, we only exist for their entertainment.

Suddenly, a short guy came forward to make an announcement. I didn't understand it first,, but I saw our names on his sheet. He started calling out everyone's name. But whenever a name was called, somebody from court raised his arms, and they take her away.

It was slowly dawning on me that we were being traded to members of the court. Is this how it's going to be? I never anticipated this part,, though. I'm trapped now, I will soon be dragged away to the chambers of any court member any time. They have already taken away my bow and arrow.

My name was announced the last I prayed that no one raises their hands but to my surprise a few of them were interested. I guess I can't operate secretly any more I will kill the first guy who is going to touch me. I know this will put an end to my goals,, but I can't let them humiliate me like that.

"I will have her", came a deafening voice, it was Lucien. Everyone looks startled at his sudden interest in me. The announcer nodded his head. "Let me have her when you are done with her ", Igor said laughingly. That will also be your last day scum I thought.

I was taken away by another security guard, I looked back at Lucien who was looking serious. I didn't think I have escaped, Lucien has not exactly saved me. He was also interested in using me like any other person here. I hate him, just like his father. When the time comes, I will kill them both.

I was brought to a beautiful and elegant chamber, which I suppose was Lucien's. I was asked to not sleep on the bed unless being asked by Lucien, like that's going to happen ever. I bid my time combing over the place I have secured a small knife. I'm no fool to think I can take somebody twice my size even though at 5 "6 I was tall for a girl, Lucien was 6 "5. He will tower over me, and not to mention he is a Lycan. He will easily rip my heart out.

I'm waiting for this ordeal to be over. There will be no more revenge than losing your only son. Though I will also be killed in the process,, I would still have managed to hurt Igor deeply.
