Lots 101 and 102
What had Thomas gotten himself into? He was now standing, barely on two feet, in the middle of the stage behind the curtain. His wrists were pulled above his head by ropes that stretched up to the ceiling and they were tied together so that he couldn't move them. The bright stage light shined in his eyes, so he couldn't see the audience. He looked over at Alex, he was in a similar predicament; wrists held together above his head, feet barely touching the ground, his hazel eyes had a look of fear as the two volunteers exchanged glances.
A week ago, their friend, John, had approached them in the hallways after school and asked if they wanted to be part of a fundraiser, one where they auction off people. They both though the volunteers would be auctioned to do chores or stuff. They couldn't have been more wrong.
"It's time for the auction to begin!" A voice said over the microphone. Tom and Alex both turned their heads to see John, dressed in a black suit with a green shirt and matching green tie.
"What's going on," Tom tried to ask his companion. No response from John, but the crowd laughed a little.
"As you can see, we will start with lots 101 and 102, Thomas and Alex. The first task is the gagging. Bidding starts at $25. Remember, you must bring all supplies you wish to use up with you. We'll start with 101: Thomas. Any takers for 25?"
Thomas and Alex didn't understand what was going on. People started yelling out numbers and prices, John was keeping track of the highest bidder, as people began to drop out, the final bid was set. "$80 going once, going twice, SOLD! To bidder 31!" John said, getting the crowd excited, "please see the man in the front about making payment and collecting your lot."
John then started the next auction for Alex's gag, this one came out at $95 after a close bidding war between bidders 12 and 46.
Tom looked at the steps to the stage and saw two girls walk on stage. They were both about 17, and he recognized both from waking in the halls at his school. One was wearing a tight yellow shirt that emphasized her chest. She had long, wavy, brown hair and brown eyes. Her round face walked over to Thomas and stroked his face with her long nails. "Uh, hello? Can you let me out?!" Thomas asked her. She just laughed, "Not after I just won you." Thomas noticed that her other hand had a roll of duct tape in it. He looked at Alex to see what was happening to him. The other girl, a blond, was trying to shove a red ball gag into his mouth, but he was shaking his head wildly trying to avoid it.
Just then, Thomas could feel his sock being pulled off of his left foot. "What's going o-" his sock was shoved behind his teeth, leaving a sweaty taste in his mouth. "HMPH!" he protested. The girl just peeled the duct tape off of the roll. Thomas's blue eyes were wide with fear as he felt the sticky adhesive against his right cheek. The tape put pressure on his cheeks as she wrapped it around his face, onto his neck, back around to his right cheek again and several more times around his head. Alex lucked out as his wavy caramel locks were spared the glue from the tape as the ball gag was locked in place with a pad lock.
"Hmmph, mrrm, rpp!" Alex was trying as hard as he could to make his voice hear, but the only response was laughing from the audience.
"Next, we will need to secure their feet. Bidding starts at $25"
Bidding occurred as before, the audience getting really into it and loud. Finally, after a bidding war, Alex's feet went for $135 while Thomas's only went for $65.
Two boys took the stage, Thomas recognized them as football players, each was well built with broad shoulders, buzz cuts and tight chests. They were wearing their school's blue and silver Tee shirts and jeans. In their hands, they each held a coil of rope. One walked over to Thomas. With fear in his eyes, Thomas looked the football player right in his green eyes. There was a look of satisfaction on his face. Suddenly, Thomas's cargo pants were ripped off of his waists to around his ankles. The crowd laughed historically. Thomas tried to reach down to hide his pale thighs from the gaze of the mysterious spectators, but ended up pulling himself up instead, causing him to lose his balance, and his pants. The football player grabbed his hairy legs mid air and held them there. All of Thomas's weight came down on his wrists causing the rope to snugly pull his arms even tighter against his head. The boy tied the rope around one of Tom's ankles and wrapped the other end tightly up his legs. After about 6 inches of Thomas's legs were covered, the football player frapped the rope in between Thomas's ankles, making the knot tighter. The boy let go and Thomas's feet started swinging as he tried to find solid ground. Thomas looked over to Alex and saw that the same had been done to him, revealing his hairless, bleach white soccer legs. His feet were topped off with thin green ankle socks. The two volunteers exchanged worried glances.
"Next, the arms. Remember, you can remove your prize from the ropes they are currently dangling from or you can add onto their ropes. Starting bid, $40"
Again the bidding got fierce as people got into bidding wars. The final price was driven up so that Alex's arms went for $165 and Thomas went for $110. Clearly, you could tell who was more good looking.
A guy and a girl took the stage. The long haired guy walked over to Thomas and took out a pocket knife. This scared Thomas and caused him to flinch and lose his balance. The guy cut the rope while Thomas was still swinging and he fell to the ground with a thud. "Hmph." Thomas felt his shirt being pulled up, over his stomach, over his head, up to his wrists which were still bound. The boy slapped some handcuffs on Thomas's wrists below his shirt and removed the rope above it, allowing his shirt to come right off. Then, the boy took a piece of soft silk rope and tied a slip knot in it. He slid this over Thomas's arms into the crease of his elbows and pulled it tight. This straightened out Thomas's back which had been hunched from poor posture. The cold metal dug into Thomas's wrists while the soft silk kept his elbows in place, Thomas had little room for movement. Then, the handcuffs were retied to the original rope trapping Thomas in a strappado position, his chest was sticking out from the elbow tie and his narrow waist was emphasized by his shoulders being pulled back. His muscles made a slight V at his thighs, ending at his underwear, now the only remaining clothing on his body other than the one sock. Every time he moved, he could feel the air brush up against his bare skin. Thomas was worried about what would happen next.
Alex also had his shirt removed, causing a cheer from the crowd as a tight four pack was revealed and a nice strong chest stuck out from the short boys torso. His arms were wrapped from wrist to elbow above his head in duct tape creating a silver triangle, but making it hard for him to remove his arms.
Neither volunteer was prepared for what would happen next.
