Citrus

Chapter One

It's nighttime, and I'm waiting at the bus station alone. Looking at my phone, I see the bus is 10 minutes late, great. Watch me be the next missing omega on TV all because a stupid bus driver couldn't make their routes on time.

Tapping my foot impatiently, I wipe away the sweat beading on my upper lip. It's the middle of summer, and there is absolutely no nighttime breeze whatsoever. I hear footsteps walking towards me and I turn to look. A blurry figure walks nearer.  I just turn to look back at my phone, not really feeling like socializing.

"I don't think the bus is going to come for you." I look at the person, an average brunette guy, "What makes you say that? You just got here, also." He gives me a smile, "Let me correct myself, you're not getting on the bus, even if it does come." I shove my phone in my pocket and turn my body to fully face him, "What does that mean?" "It means you're coming with me." I let out a snort, "Yeah, cause I'll listen to the creepy stranger. Buh bye."

I turn to walk in the other direction only to face another guy. "You're coming with us, omega." My face flushed at that, "Oh gee, now I really want to go with the two creeps! I just love being degraded by my second gender!" Guy number two gives me a smile, "I love the feisty ones." I tilt my head to the side, "Oh so this is a hobby of yours, creeping out omegas." He takes a step towards me, "Only the pretty ones." I take a step back, forgetting about hombre número uno, "Thanks but no thanks."

A hand grabs my wrist and drags me to the nearby alleyway. "Oh great there's a third guy, what is this, a club sport?" I turn to see the third guy dangling cuffs in front of my face, the moonlight glinting off of them, "Let us put these on you and you won't get hurt." At this point I think the heat is giving me delusions, "Uh, no." Someone wraps their hand around my neck, "Don't forget the pills." I take a step forward, trying to jerk my neck out of their grip, "I'm in no mood to be high, I'm not joining your junkie group cult or whatever this is."

They've got me cornered in the alley, and I'm actually starting to feel scared, thinking they're serious, so I revert to my old ways; I lie. "Okay," I say, "I'll take them, but you have to hand feed them to me." Guy number two shrugs, "Whatever you say, princess." Once his hand gets close to my mouth, I bite down on his fingers, hard. "Shit!" He curses, yanking his fingers out of my mouth.

I take this opportunity to try an run, but someone grabs my hair. Landing hard on the ground, they quickly pin me down and force my mouth open. Their fingers taste disgusting, like salt and grime as they shove the pills in. One of them covers my mouth, "Does she have to swallow them?" He asks another. Tears in my eyes are making my vision blurry, I should've paid more attention to the news. "No, these ones dissolve." I groan at hearing that. Sure enough, the pills are half the size they were in my mouth.

They hold me there for about a minute before lifting my up by my arms. Before I can even think of running again they cuff me. Is it just me, or is it hotter all of a sudden? Suddenly my vision goes dark as they put a good over my head, "Walk."

"Oh, so I should obey you like a dog?" A foot kicks my shin. I crouch down in pain, hugging my leg to my chest as best I can seeing as my hands are cuffed together. "Would you prefer to crawl, omega?" I hiss at whoever said it. I'm hauled back up by my arms, "Walk, you don't have much time until you won't be able to." What?

As though they could see my question through my body language, I hear one of them laugh, "You don't know what we gave you, little omega?"

"No shit, Sherlock," I mutter quietly. I hear someone walk towards me on the pavement. They get close enough to me for me to be able to feel their breath through the hood. "We gave you a heat inducer, gets the alphas all riled up, seeing a needy omega begging for cock."

I feel my face blanch at that, suddenly realizing just exactly how much trouble I got myself into, "I'm- I'm being sold?" I hear an uproar of boisterous laughs around me, "You didn't know that? What, do you think we kidnap omegas for fun? No, it pays the rent. It pays more than rent. Now walk."

"No," I say, determined. I hear a growl, "What?" "I said no." "Do you want to die?" They ask me. I nod, "S'better than being raped for a lifetime." I hear a huff, "Looks like we'll do this the hard way. I'm not just gonna give in to the bitch that bit me." I smile at the recent memory, about to give a comeback when something hard hits my head. So this is the hard way.
