The Handoff

I was awakened by light, I squinted up and saw two men looking down at me, one was Brandon, and the other I had no idea, "so do we have a deal?" Brandon asked.

"She's a pretty little thing, that's for sure, let's get her out so I can see what she looks like," he said. I was roughly taken out of the trunk by two other men and I was trembling with fear. "Take her clothes off, I need to see the assets of the merchandise," he said, I looked at Brandon and all I saw was a cold look in his eyes when I felt the dress I was wearing being cut off, I tried to protest but all that could come were muffled sounds from the gag. I struggled against the ropes holding my arms behind my back, I could feel the tears fall down my face.

"Are you sure about her boss?" the one behind me asked. "She doesn't seem right yet," he said.

"That's where the training comes in, Jorge she will be trained to do whatever I say she will do," he said.

"So do we have a deal?" Brandon inquired again.

"How much do you want for her?" He asked.

"$10, 000," Brandon said.

"Deal," he said, shaking Brandon's hand. "I'll go write a check, Jorge bring her in," he said. Jorge started to pressure me into the building and I went in, my eyes were shifting around through the warehouse, seven men were watching us as we walk past them, each was working on something but I didn't pay much attention, then behind them were rows of shelves with black containers on them, when we were lead up some stairs to a loft where he went to the desk and wrote a check passing it to Brandon. I looked at Brandon with betrayal. I thought I meant more to him, I became a slave for him so that we could stay together.

"A word of advice, do as you're told and you'll be good," Brandon said when he was in front of me, he smiled at me caressing my face, but all I felt towards him was disgust. When I got the urge to hit him and since my hands were bound behind my back I headbutted him, my head made contact with his nose, and I heard a satisfying crack and then his scream. "You little bitch" he screamed at me, I glared at him, I was angry. "I'm glad I sold you, you're just a slave you're nothing, and if I had it my way I'd punish you for your little stunt" Brandon snarled. I curled my mouth over my teeth in a snarl when he slapped me. To get back at him I brought my leg up and kicked him between his legs, he doubled over as a scream left him and I smiled.

"Jorge, bring her down to the basement, tie her to the wall," he said, I started to move away from them, shaking my head.

"Don't make me throw you over my shoulder slave" Jorge said, I ended up cornering myself but they just looked at each other.

"You wanted me boss," a male said as he came up, and as I looked at him he looked a lot like Billy, a friend I had in elementary school before he moved.

"Yes, help Jorge out with the new slave," he said, causing them to look at me.

"Jess?" Billy asked, and a small feeling of hope rose up, I was silently pleading with him to help me. "Boss, how much are you planning to get for her?" Billy asked.

"A quarter of a million at least," he said.

"I can pay in installments, I know her and have been wanting a slave of my own for a while," Billy said.

"William, I don't sell my slaves privately. If you want her you'll have to attend her auction now help Jorge," he said.

"Yes Boss," Billy said as both men stalked towards me. When I felt faint, I crouched down to help. I was starting to feel better when Jorge tossed me over his shoulder, and I started to thrash trying to get down, when he left the loft I continued to struggle.

"Stop struggling slave I'll toss you down the stairs if you don't," Jorge said and immediately I stopped, but as he descended the stairs I passed out, and the next thing I knew I was bound to the wall.

I pulled against the cuffs holding me to the wall, the gag still in my mouth so I couldn't scream for help, when I felt a sting against my back "stay still slave" a voice boomed, and instantly I stopped struggling. When I felt another strike and I screamed out as the pain erupted over my back.

I screamed with each lick of the whip against my back. That when he stopped I sagged in relief, thankful that it was over, that when they unbound me I collapsed to the floor, I didn't have the energy to stand up, but I could feel the metal against my arms, of cuffs that would not move. I felt tears fall down my face, I may have been Brandon's slave but it was just a game he wanted to play, he never treated me badly, at least I thought of it as a game but that changed today, today he showed me he didn't think of it as a game, that he thought I was really a slave, nothing but something to be sold, and I felt tears start to fall down my face at the betrayal of my boyfriend.

"Come along slave, time to bring you to your shared room," he said, I got up from the floor and followed him, there were multiple rooms along the hallway, but I didn't want to be whipped again so I didn't try to run, at least not right now. We entered a room where there were seven other girls all chained to the wall, when he picked up a set of chains, I went over and he clasped the chains to my cuffs. "Sleep well girls, but do not take her gag off," he said before closing and locking the door behind him, I went to the corner and sat down, I brought my knees to my chest as I watched them, wary.

"Poor thing," one of the girls said.

"I wonder what she did to be punished," another said.

"I doubt she'll stay in here for long," another said when the first girl stood up and made her way over to me. Well as far as her chain would let her.

"I'm Vanessa, and these are Rebecca, Jolie, Heather, Sarah, Hope, and Neveah," Vanessa said, I was still eyeballing her.

"Vanessa leave her be, she's terrified," Jolie said, Vanessa nodded and went back to the other girls. Slowly one by one they went to sleep until I was the only one up, and only then did I allow sleep to take me.
