It stunk. The word's kept ringing through Lunara's head, even as her eyes roamed over the others in this hell hole. Some master's did not take care of their slaves, had no interest in anything other than the small coin selling flesh would bring. The auction was a popular one in this isolated town, but it brought traveler's far and wide to see the collection of pretties for sale. The humans and vampires that visited were interested in one thing only, forced labor. Be it in the form of working the fields, ornamenting the house, or those of a more perverse nature, they came to find it here. The auction was known to be one of the best, containing some of the rarest, strongest, and most beautiful creatures to be found.
How she had ended up here, it was still a mystery. Today wasn't, for she had angered Simon, her current owner. It was not her fault he had roaming hands, and she a very sharp set of claws. Even now he kept his distance, nursing his injured wrist to his chest, sending her searing glares every now and then when he wasn't trying to pawn her off on another. Foolish human, didn't he know not to pet wild creatures. Oh, Lunara had behaved for a while, entertaining his guests, hunting for his food, but he'd gotten greedy. And she had showed her fangs. In the end, her back was still recovering from the lashing she had received, and her stomach grumbling from the lack of food.
A small hand lifted, playing with the dangling stars from the holes he'd pricked in her ears. A small entertainment for one who had been sitting in a metal cage for the last three hours. Stormy eyes took a good, long look around the wolf. An auction block was set up in the back, but in the front of this 'swap meet' were creatures in cages, chained to poles, or sitting docile next to their masters. All wore the trade mark, collars and charms, in some form or another. Bracelets, chokers, anklets, it mattered not, as long as they were identified as cowed, or out for revenge. Her own collar was buckled to her ankle, and adorned with no end of small silver coins, which jingled with her every moment.
Indeed, this one was a dancer. Long limbed, despite her short stature, the wolf could capture all the rooms attention with one sweep of those curved hips. Clothes had not been washed in days, Luna still wore her dancing costume, now stained with the blood she had released from her 'master'. The back was tattered, he had lashed out in anger, and the silver tipped cat-o-nine wounds were slow to heal in her flesh. The purple garment had once been beautiful, but now was rather shredded. The skirt and bodice sparkled prettily in the light, catching her attention even as she swept the mass of black curls off her neck. For now, she remained quite, waiting to see which direction the current of fate chose to pull her.
