The Drop Of Amaris

Chapter 1

She looked around. Black she was surrounded in black. She couldn't move, her hands were bound and so were her legs, but the thing she was trapped in was moving. It rocked gently side to side, then every now and then slammed into something very harshly. Her breathing had picked up speed as she realized she was trapped, with no way out. Her mind went a mile per minute. How did I end up here, why did I end up here. Many thoughts of the same caliber ran through the thirteen year olds head as she sunk into a panic.

Soon the movement stopped and she heard voices. The thing she was in opened blinding her with a bright light. When her eyes adjusted she was greeted with the sight of older men and older women. The looks that were on their faces didn't promise anything good. The men smirked as the women grabbed her out of the box.

"She'll sell for a pretty penny.." One of the man jeered blowing smoke into Amaris's face.

She leaned away coughing around the gag in her mouth. She hated smoke and it being blown in her face didn't help that fact. She looked around trying to memorized the faces of the people around her. If I get out of here...I can use their descriptions. She thought to herself.

"That she will...her eyes will make a pretty sum too!" One of the women said ecstatically with her nails on the younger's face.

Amaris's eyes were two of a kind, one blue and one gray. Her eyes widened as she heard the conversation struggling in their grasps. She couldn't scream as her mouth had also been bound but that didn't mean she couldn't make noises of any kind. Muffled sounds left the cloth around her mouth and the group sighed with detest.

"Hey let's get the price tag in her and just knock her out." One of the girls said her voice gratting on the young ones ears.

"Yeah! Anya's right, this kid is becoming too squirmy for my liking." The other woman who was holding her spoke out.

"You know that sound like a good idea...I could test the merchandise.." One of the men said looking over Amaris's body.

The man who was blowing smoke in Amaris's face sighed and grabbed out a bloody fish hook. She struggled more attempting to kick the man or anything, just something to get him away.Please..no..please... don't....let me go. She thought to herself.

He pressed it against her ear with a price tag and then her ear exploded in pain as a squelching sound bounced in her head. He repeated the actions to her other ear and pulled the hook away fresh blood caking the hook. The man smirked a toothy grin and Amaris noticed that he was missing a few teeth.

"Goodnight princess" The man snided then before she knew it her world went black.

She awoke for the second time. She didn't know how long she had been out for. Blinking she raised her head taking in her surroundings as her nose was assaulted with a pungent scent of decay and filth. Looking around she noticed she was in a cage with two other people both turned away from her. She moved her arms and noticed that they were free along with her legs, but the cage was padlocked closed.

Her mouth had also been released from the gag she was wearing. She took notice to the rest of the area, there were more cages then just hers from what she counted there were about nine more cages. Which made ten cages in total. The cages formed a circle and in the middle was a site that made her choke on bile. In the middle of the circle was an altar. The altar was covered in dry blood and other liquids, and laying on top of the altar was a body.

Amaris's body started to shake as a person in a black cloak grabbed the body that was one of a kid younger than her. The man grabbed the body and tossed it aside like a rag doll cursing in a foreign language. The body made a crunching noise as it hit the ground, the noise caused Amaris to turn around and wrech, vomit falling to the floor of her cage.
