The Taming of a Slave Pt. 06

Ok so I know you want it longer, and I'm working on that, so continue with the comments! I love them :D

*****

She heard the door opening and looked up, not allowing any tears to fall as the fear swept over her. Oh my god... Ami watched as the room was filled with rich looking people and Ami watched as they walked around the main attractions. Her muscles tensed up and her breathing got heavier as a group of men came inside and walked around her mother, eyeing her, fondling her and asking her questions.

She heard another rattling of chains to see her father pulling away from his group of people. The ushers began waving the crowds to check out the other slaves, which the crowd did slowly. Ami watched as the men and women walked through the sale and a woman walked up to her mother and looked down at the numbers written on her sheet. She smiled and wrote down a number and showed her before kissing her cheek and leaving Elizabeth in tears.

"You FUCKING BITCH!" The woman turned her head to Ami. "How dare you? Do you realize how wrong that is?" The woman began walking over to Ami quickly and with intent. "She is a mother and a good woman, obviously a much better one than you!" She reached Ami's table and raised her hand to slap her but hesitated.

"Of course, you expect me to beg for forgiveness? I won't." Ami said. "You have to buy me for that." At this, the woman looked down at her sheet.

"100,000 dollars? What makes you so special?" She sneered up at Ami.

"Read the bio, I think it'll explain it." She opened the first page.

"Ooohhh, a virgin. Sorry baby girl, but I want my slave to have a lot of experience. Even though I would like to teach you some respect."

"I respect real women and men. Not people who want to own me."

The woman leaned in and whispered into her ear. "You will be broken soon enough. I can't wait to see it happen." She stepped back and smirked as Ami glared at her. She walked off as Ami sat there seething.

"Oh you're his daughter. I'd love to fuck you." She looked at the voice with a disgusted look. A greasy looking man walked towards her, and as she watched him advance towards her he got shorter, maybe being only five feet tall. She stared in his face, eyes raking over his thick eyebrows, his pig-like nose, and fat cheeks. What a pig... She began giggling as he stood before her.

"Something funny?" He asked, annoyance obvious on his face. She began laughing louder. "Anything amusing? Or are you just an idiot?"

"The resemblance is uncanny." She said before biting her lip to hold in anything else she had to say. He raised his eyebrow until he heard another deeper voice laugh.

"She has a mouth on her doesn't she?" Ami turned her head to the voice and raised an eyebrow.

"Prince Elio! I didn't see you there!" The greasy man said as he bowed.

"It doesn't matter." Prince Elio said as he walked closer to Ami. "What's your name?"

"Ami." She said curtly. He opened the pamphlet and held it up to her.

"Not your preferred name, your actual name." She sneered.

"I don't go by that. Nobody calls me that."

"You might want to go by your name while you still can. Soon it will be gone from you...Amaris." Her eyes snapped up to his face. Her eyes stared deeply into his iron-gray eyes. His piercing eyes bore into hers and finally her eyes broke from his and swept over him. His jaw was set, and lips pulled into a thin line, as his face portrayed no emotion. His dark clothing offset his cream colored skin and he began smiling.

"So your name is?" He asked, a small smile on his face.

"Ami, plain and simple." He chuckled and Amaris looked over his body and at his clothes, which were pulling tightly over his chest. He picked up the clipboard and wrote down his bid before walking off to his table. The piggy man read the bid and walked away.

The rest of the auction passed with a few other men and women coming to check out Amaris but once they saw who had put in a bid they left quickly.

"Alright, everyone sit at your tables, we will be starting the live auction." Amaris looked at the stage. "This first prize is one many of you might like to buy, Samuel Ionna!" Everyone was silent as Amaris' father was lead onto the stage. His neck was collared, with two people using poles while his hands were chained.

"This one is one of the greatest fighters from the Erylin Army! He is going for 250,000 dollars! Do I hear 300?" Amaris watched as the people competed to buy her father. He eventually was sold for three million dollars. She bit her lip and closed her eyes, not allowing tears to fall. Her mother and many others were sold the same way and Amaris ignored much of it.

"This is one of the Ionna children!" Amaris snapped her head up to see Joshua up on the stage. As they started bidding she started crying, harder and harder.

"What is that?"

"It appears the be the other Ionna child." Joshua looked over at Amaris and saw her tied up before crying. He pulled against his handcuffs and ran to her, seeing as they hadn't bothered to tether him to the floor. He rubbed her arm, comforting her.

"Ami, I want you to stay strong. Don't be broken because of what they do to you, just know that we're getting out of here." He said before he kissed her cheek. The sellers pulled Joshua back up to the stage where they proceeded to sell him and another girl.

"Alright. The new slaves will be wrapped up and delivered unless told otherwise." Amaris started thinking quickly. If I can talk to my family, we can get-

"Hello pet." Ami was snapped out of her thinking and looked up towards Prince Elio. "Are you ready to go home?"

"I'm being released?" Amaris said with fake enthusiasm.

"You're going to be fun to break." He nodded and two people untied her, being gentle and pushed her off the table and forced her to stand in front of Prince Elio. He placed a large hand on the back of her neck and led her outside.

"Can I say goodbye to my family?" Amaris asked with a hint of annoyance in her voice. He looked down at her then off into the distance.

If I let her meet with her family, it could build up her defenses. He looked back down at the cute little creature.

"I'm sorry pet, but you're too unstable at the moment. Maybe again when you're more together?" He continued leading her out of the building, and before she knew it she was staring at the city as it rushed past her.

Amaris began crying slowly and silently, biting her lip and to hold in her sobs. She tried to play it off but she felt a hand on her back. The hand of the one that's doing this to me...that's making me feel this badly. She stiffened against the hand.

He smiled removed his hand as they drove up the driveway to his mansion. The driver walked to Amaris' door.

"You will be blindfolded, and if you speak you will be gagged." Amaris looked at him with disgust and then at the driver. She stepped out and allowed the driver to blindfold her, and she stood, alone. She stepped backwards, stepping into a strong man. She felt his chest rise and fall before he gripped the back of her neck, forcing her in front of him.

Seventy-five, Seventy-six, Seventy-seven- A door opened and she was pushed inside.

"Stay still." Amaris switched her weight onto her other foot and waited. She heard a few clicks and then liquid pouring into a glass, followed by ice clinking into the drink. "Remove your blindfold."

Amaris stayed still, a small smile forming on her face. "Are you really going to disobey me on this? Such a simple command for a simple girl or should I dumb it down for you?" She hid her smile behind faked shock and confusion.

"B-But, you said to stay still, I'm very confused on how all of this works. I'm only doing what you said, remember?"

"You should pray that your acting continues to amuse me or you will be punished." He said with a smirk on his face. "You shall do as I ask you, and follow the most recent commands."

"Sure, ok that makes much more sense."

"Now, the blindfold." Amaris wanted to laugh and push more but something small inside her shook its head. She took off the blindfold and tied it around her Afro, creating a makeshift bandanna.

"So what are you going to have me do? Am I like your new maid, fetching you food and stuff or what?" He raised his eyebrow and took a sip of his drink.

"Do you not remember the instructions told to you?" She looked up at the ceiling.

"I do, even so much to quote you directly. You said, 'Now, the blindfold.'" Amaris almost chuckled as she looked down into Prince Elio's eyes. He looked at her before setting down his drink and standing.

"Stand still, don't speak." Amaris raised her hand, but the Prince walked past her and to the back wall. From there he produced a large riding crop, a pair of leather handcuffs and a gag. He turned to face her, surprisingly seeing her standing still and walked back over to the couch with the toys. She waved her hand around, trying to get him to call on her when he caught her hand and cuffed it. He went for her other hand and she began moving it around wildly. He caught her arm under his and then grabbed her hand, hoisting it above her head with the other and cuffing them together. Skillfully he hooked them onto a hook in the ceiling and stepped away observing her.

She was dangling a bit off of the ground and was kicking furiously. He moved around her and lowered her slightly, allowing her to stand on the balls of her feet. She then pulled herself up on her cuffs and let herself fall.

She's...trying to break the cuffs, how thoughtful. Prince Elio walked around her and sat back on the couch, pulling a folder and his drink from the end table.

"Amaris Ionna, twenty years old, 145 pounds, African, Mexican and Brazilian roots, a virgin-" He smiled and looked up as she looked down at him before continuing dropping herself. "Measurements 34" chest, 25" waist and 40" hips-"

"Feel free to continue in your head."

"I'm merely telling you that you won't be able to break your handcuffs." She sighed and lifted herself up again, this time humming to herself. He watched her drop herself again and began to lift herself again. "What are you doing?" She ignored him and dropped herself again, gasping this time. He stood and watched as she pulled herself up again.

If she can't break the cuffs...She's going to break her wrists. He grabbed her waist and took her weight. She glared down at him.

"Damn it."

"You're a brave one, but you are never allowed to break your bones to get away from me. Understand?"

"I understand." She sighed and looked away.

"I think it's time for you to go to bed." She widened her eyes and pled lightly.

"Please? It's not even eleven thirty; can I go to bed then? I have to keep it normal or I'll get messed up." He raised his thick eyebrow.

"Messed up?" He asked as he lifted her off of the hook and set her back down on the ground. He looked around on the dresser and then remembered.

"I have a schedule, but when it gets messed up I can't function."

"I'm sorry pet, but you have to run on my schedule, see you bright and early at 9AM." He said as he took off her bandanna and wrapped it back around her eyes. She sighed and turned back to the door.

Seventy-eight, Seventy-nine, eighty-

"So why so dead-set on your time?" eighty-one

"Uhhh...I don't know, I'm just like that?" eighty-three He looked at her face and smiled. He stopped and picked her up.

"You're such a smart girl, a bit too smart for your own good." He said with a smile. "The fact that you were blindfolded should have been an indicator to not try to learn the layout of my house."

"Aww, isn't it our house now?"

"Of course not, you belong to me, as does this house and the other slaves. We share nothing, I own everything...understand?" Amaris looked down and sighed.

"We never did cover what my duties were." Amaris said. "Or is that tomorrows lesson?" The Prince continued walking and placed her on the ground.

"This is your new room." He took off the blindfold and her eyes adjusted. The dark room had no light, nothing but a grate. She took a deep breath, walked into the room and turned around.

"Alright, leave me to be comfortable." She said before turning around, looking up at the dark ceiling. She turned her head back to the door to see Prince staring at her.

"Can I help you?" He smiled and stepped backwards, closing the door and leaving her in the dark, she began shaking. She walked to a corner of the room and ran her finger in an arc around her legs.

"Don't be broken because of what they do to you, just know that we're getting out of here." She mumbled to herself over and over until she fell asleep.
