Iz nods a little as the guy next to her -Danny- whispers to her. False words of comfort, that's all they were. She bites at the inside of her bottom lip nervously, trying to stop crying. Suddenly an irony taste registers on her tongue and Iz realizes that she's bitten the inside of her lip so much it's started bleeding. She sucks in a breath, the tears lessening, frantic, worried thouhgts replacing them in her mind. Her stomach churns as the irony taste of blood becomes stronger in her mouth. She runs her tongue along the inside of her lip, trying to make the bleeding stop.
Iz freezes as a vampire guy comes up to the girl on the opposite side of Danny. She frowns in disgust at his words and desperately starts to hope that whoever buys her isn't anything like him. 'Disgusting pig,' she thinks. Her eyebrows raise up some in surprise when Danny sticks up for Ali. 'Wow that's brave, especially in our current situation.'
A tall, incredibly handsome, and tanned vampire calls attention, letting the bidding begin. He brings the vampires' attention towards Danny, offering him for bid first. She frowns and bites at her lip again, her eyes scanning the crowd. They land on a small group kind of to one side. She looks at the girl who seems to be crying for them and this makes tears threaten to spill down Iz's cheeks again but she diverts her eyes, looking instead to the guy next to her, fiddling with a lighter. Her eyes then land on another guy with them, he seemed as if he was trying to convince his group to do something. Her eyes search for his, trying to somehow make eye contact with him, to try and determine what it is he's telling them. She doesn't know what it is, but something about him seems different that the rest of the horny, hungry male vampires surrounding them.

James sighs, bored. He rolls his neck and shoulders the best he can, making both pop. He grimaces as the shackles around his wrists start biting into his skin, making them sting. 'If these start to bleed I'm in trouble,' he thinks idlely. He glances at the other five lined up with him, noting that one girl is still crying, one has seemed to stop, or is trying to stop, and the other one just seems terrified. He mentally shrugs and rolls his neck again, bored. 'Nothing to be scared about here.. Just another adventure,' he thinks as his eyes lazily scan the crowd in front of him. The vampires seem to quite for a moment as another begins the bidding on one of the humans in their group but then the commotion seems to just get louder as bets are shouted out at the auctioneer. 'Hope this goes quickly. I'm bored and ready to be bought.'
