They formed a vortex, deflecting my attack with ease. The evocation spirits I sent to kill him didn't return to me. They darted to him, gathering in h...s hand.“Cernere's black cunt!” I screamed as he aimed his beam.I dived.The air crackled above me. The heat of his attack licked at the soles of my feet as I darted for the stocks, glimpsing Sven and Zanyia fighting with the treemen. I pulled out of my descent, my wings flapping hard. Energy built behind me.I dashed to the right. A magenta beam. There was something weird going on here."I don't want to go with Noelle," I growled, "I just want to go to town and buy a cell phone. What is the issue here?"Evan raked one hand through his hair, "I can't let you do that. I'm sorry, but no, you can't borrow my car. You can't go to town on your own. One of my wolves has to be with you at all times. And I'm sorry, but you can't buy a cell phone or a computer either. You're welcome to use mine anytime you want, just not now."There was a cold anger. They all proceeded forward as did I.When I presented I was walked in like all the other girls. On all fours with a leash attached to a collar being led by a owner. The bidding began at $70.00. It soon was raised to $130.00 in a matter of seconds. Several people demanded my clothing be removed, but that only gave the auctioneer an idea. He smirked and spoke into the mic " The highest bidder not only gets to own this lovely whore but also put on a little show for all of us at the auction house."I. " Should I leave?"Just when I finished speaking I heard noises coming from the bedroom window. I took one step towards the window and listened. Someone was at the bottom, trying to climb up the drainpipe. The metal pipe was as noisy as a crumpling tin can."Man, Mark's come early!" said Eddie."I'd better leave," I said, walking towards the bedroom door."Get under the bed." Eddie pointed underneath his bed. "There's plenty of space down there."There was indeed very much space between the bottom.
