On Stage
On Stage
By: Ainoko Ironrose
A Thursday Prompt exercise
"GET UP!"
Looking at the blurred image looming over him, Ainoko
Struggled to get up off the floor where he found himself.
"GET UP!" Came the voice again and was immediately followed by a bucket full of ice cold water.
Getting on his paws and stumbling to the back of the room that he was in, he tried to figure out what and how he found himself in this strange situation.
"I'm up! I'm up!" He yelped in shock from the cold water hitting him.
"Now that you are up," Said the voice, "You need to get cleaned up and presentable. You need to look your best to your prospective Master or Mistress, but first you have new adornments that only those in your position are permitted to wear."
Before he had a chance to protest, three large imposing furs entered his room and firmly, yet forcibly, removed all his clothing and jewelry. Then as two of them held him motionless, the third approached and clamped a gold and silver band around his left arm, before attaching a metal collar around his neck, metal shackles around his feet, and another shackle with a ball on it onto his tail. No sooner than the band was clamped to his arm, a sensation like something digging through his arm began. This lasted for the length of time it took the three furs to attach his restraints. Once they were done with that, they began to thoroughly clean him from head to toe, making sure that his fur was clean and silky.
"Now Ainoko" Came the voice once again, this time next to him. There stood a femme; her fur was dark and light brown furred with a brown heart mark just above her and between her eyes, she was wearing a purple suit with lighter purple stripes and highlights, she was about two heads shorter than him, holding a set of gold chains, and very intimidating. "All you have to do right now is do what I tell you and nothing else. As of today, the life that you have known is no more. You are now my property and will be auctioned off to the highest bidder in fifteen minutes. Just to let you know, my name is Lady Kix. You may only address me as Mistress Kix until your new owner pays for you. While we are on stage, you are not to move for any reason during the actual process, not even if and when your prospective Master or Mistress comes on stage to get a better look and feel of you. Now, Ainoko, do you understand what I have just told you?"
"Yes Ma-, I mean Mistress Kix, I do understand." He said, before angrily continuing, "Just how in the holiest of the eternal hells did I wind up here? I am a free fur, not no cursed slave."
Chuckling softly, Lady Kix produced a data pad with which she began reciting information. "You, Ainoko Ironrose, have being found guilty of the offense of living beyond your means and being deep in debt, is hereby ordered into debtor prison. Upon further consideration, you are to be handed over to the slave market to be sold into slavery, and what you are sold for will be split three ways 15% will go to you, 15% will go to the slave market and the rest will go to pay off your debt, if by any chance you are sold for more than your debt is, the difference will go to you. Once sold, you will be used in any way that your new owner desires. Signed by the city magistrate Nystra Hunnydhew." Closing the pad she continued on, "Now, you know why you are here being auctioned off as a slave. One more thing, there is a band that was put on your arm. This band is now a permanent part of your body, and can not be removed without seriously harming or killing you. This band is living metal, so when it was put on your arm, it began to form a lattice inside your arm to keep it sitting where it is at."
"B-b-b-but this is ridiculous!" He stammered angrily, "I have never lived beyond my means or have EVER been deep in debt! I am a respected member of this city. I want to know who did this to me! I demand to be released!"
"Ainoko" Lady Kix said harshly, "I am not the one to file a grievance with only you can do that; however that is no longer your concern. According to Magistrate Hunnydhew, your freedom is no more. Now, we have to get out on to the auction block, you are the last one to sold today."
"Mark my words Mistress Kix, by all that is holy, I will find out who did this to me and make them pay dearly. Whoever buys me, I will make sure that their lives are a living hell. They will regret ever getting me."
"You go ahead and do that Ainoko, but remember this, eventually you will come to accept your new role in life and come to enjoy it."
"And now my fellow furs... here comes our latest addition to the auction! He is our newest acquisition and the last item on today's auction!" Came a voice from over the stage as it began to rise, amid a wave of cheers, catcalls and whistling. "He is a young, wild, untrained, and outspoken slave. He will be the perfect addition to your stables as well as a valuable member of your harem! Now without further ado, here he is with his handler, Mistress Kix!"
"Good evening my fellow furs! I am Lady Kix, and I present Ainoko Ironrose!" She said right as the stage came to a stop in the midst of the bidding arena. "As you can see he is a young hybrid and extremely rare. I know that he is attracted to males, so those of you who have females can be assured they will be safe from him, however, males might be a temptation for him until he is properly trained. Now, let's start the bidding at 150,000 Gold..."
Doing as he was told, Ainoko stared angrily at a spot on the stage in front of him, trying avoid looking into the assorted furs for fear of seeing familiar faces. ‘I will find out who did this to me, and make them tell me why I am here.' He thought to himself as the auction went into high gear.
