CHAPTER 9
All the girls were made to line up along the longest wall of the room once they were released from their cages, their hands were still cuffed behind their backs and Bethany was still gagged. Each girl was allocated a lot number which was printed on a piece of card and hung around her neck. Natalie was lot number twelve while Bethany was thirteen.
“Just my luck, unlucky thirteen.†She mumbled to herself.
Alison and Caroline would be last to go up for sale as they were given the numbers twenty five and twenty six.
One of the assistants then went down the line with a digital camera a took a photo of each girl, she took the gag out of Bethany’s mouth for her photo letting it hang loosely around her neck and replaced it once she was finished. Another two assistants followed her down the line with a tape measuring the girl’s height, and body measurements, bust, waist and hips. One at the time the girls were taken into the auction room stopping briefly at a set of digital scales by the door where they were weighed. Just before it was her turn to be taken in Natalie, turned to her friend with tears in her eyes saying.
“I guess I’d better say good bye, I may not get chance again. You’ll always be my best friend Beth no matter what, hopefully one day we can be together again. Good Bye Beth.â€
Tears began to roll down Bethany’s cheeks
ARRGHMMPPHH! She screamed in frustration not being able to reply, as the assistant took hold of Natalie’s arm and led her away. Natalie looked around and blew her friend a kiss.
In the waiting room Natalie saw all the other girls that had been taken in before her, they were all sat on wooden high back chairs with their hands still secured behind their backs each girl had a black cloth tied in her mouth, and her ankles bound together with rope. Natalie was taken to one of the empty chairs which like all the others had a length of rope and two pieces of the black cloth already laid out on the seat.
“Take a seat miss.†The assistant said pushing Natalie down on to the chair.
The assistant then took one of the pieces of cloth and crunched it up into a ball.
“Open up.†She said holding the ball in front of Natalie’s mouth
Natalie did has she was told allowing the cloth to be stuffed in her mouth, and the second piece of cloth was then tied in her mouth to hold her gag in place.
“Put your feet together.†The assistant ordered after kneeling down at Natalie’s feet.
Again Natalie obeyed allowing her ankles to be tied tightly together, while this was going on Natalie saw Bethany being brought in by another assistant, she was seated next to Natalie. The assistant started by removing Bethany’s gag, once her mouth was free Bethany turned her head towards Natalie.
“Good Bye Nats you’ve been a great friend.†She said trying to hold back the tears that were welling up in her eyes.
“Silence, No one said you could speak just because your gag was removed.†The assistant snapped giving Bethany a hard slap across her face.
“Fucking Bitch.†Bethany screamed back, which earned her another hard slap.
“I’m going to enjoy tying a gag that foul mouth of yours.†The assistant hissed grabbing hold of huge handful of Bethany’s hair twisting and pulling it.
“Now open up.†She barked holding the crunched up cloth in front of Bethany’s mouth.
“OK OK. Get the fuck off me.†Bethany screamed in pain, before opening her mouth for the gag.
“Not so mouthy now are you bitch?†The assistant sneered after very tightly knotting the gag under Bethany’s ponytail.
Natalie had never seen her friend like this before she was always quiet and timid she hoped her friends temper wasn’t going to land her trouble with her new owners.
Bethany resisted the temptation to kick the assistant in the full in face as she bent down and roughly pulled her ankles together before tying them.
“I hope you go unsold bitch, I’d love to spend another week with you.†The assistant said staring Bethany straight in the face and grinning, before leaving to bring the next girl in.
Natalie and Bethany watched the other girls being brought in many of them crying, which Natalie found upsetting and started her off crying too. Finally Alison was brought in closely followed my Caroline, Alison mouthed something at Natalie and Bethany has she passed neither girl was sure what she said, but guessed she wasn’t asking if they were alright.
In the auction room the guests were starting to take their seats at tables assigned to them. On each table was touch screen monitor which displayed thumbnail size photo’s of the girls taken earlier, the guests could touch the thumbnail of the girl of their choice to bring up a full size photo and brief description of the girl including her age, height, weight, and body measurements. Also on each table was a wooden paddle with a number printed on it, this was for the guest to hold up when making a bid so the auctioneer knew who bidding. Once all the guests were seated, girls dressed as waitresses came to each table with a very expensive bottle of champagne.
“I think Baroness want get me tipsy so spend lot of money.†Mrs. Kozlov said to the waitress, who smiled at the woman, knowing that was the whole idea.
The room went silent as The Baroness entered onto the stage followed by Jenny Bond.
Jenny Bond took her place behind the auctioneer’s podium while The Baroness walked to the front of the stage and stood behind a microphone.
“Let me start by welcoming you all to this afternoon’s auction, and I hope you all leave here today with the girl of your choice. Before we begin I’ll just run through a few simple rules. All purchases must be paid for in cash today before you leave with your girl or girls. Once you have made a bid it cannot be retracted so think carefully before you bid. Make your bids by holding up the numbered paddle on your table only, no other form of bidding is allowed. That’s all from me apart from saying have an enjoyable afternoon and spend, spend, spend. I’ll hand over to your auctioneer Miss Jenny Bond to get the sale under way.â€
The Baroness retired to a seat at the back of the stage.
“Thank you Baroness. Now let’s get the auction underway with lot number one.â€
A tall slim girl with red hair was brought onto the stage by one of the assistants, the girl was placed at front of the stage and the assistant stood behind her.
“Lot number one is Cheryl she’s nineteen years old, you can read all the other information about her by touching her photo on your monitors. So what am I bid five hundred thousand to start?â€
Jenny Bond looked around the room and there were no bids.
“Ok two hundred thousand to start then surely.â€
A number of paddles were raised
“Two hundred and fifty thousand, three hundred thousand, three hundred and fifty thousand, four hundred thousand, four hundred and fifty thousand, five hundred thousand, five hundred and fifty thousand.â€
Bidding was fast and furious until there were just two bidders left a man and woman who had made the last bid.
“Six hundred thousand, sir?
The man raised his paddle
“Six hundred and fifty thousand, Madame?â€
The woman paused briefly before raising her paddle
“Seven hundred thousand, Sir?â€
The man raised his paddle without any hesitation
“Seven hundred and fifty thousand, Madame?â€
The woman shook her head.
“Seven hundred thousand, any more bids? Going once, going twice, sold to the gentleman for seven hundred thousand, pounds.â€
The assistant stepped forward and took hold of the sobbing girl and led her off the stage to the holding area.
Jenny Bond was flying through the lots and it wasn’t long before the girl before Natalie was taken in, while she was in the auction room one of the assistant untied Natalie’s legs ready for her to go. Natalie looked tearfully and nervously at Bethany was this the last time she would ever see her friend? The moment Natalie had been dreading had arrived as the assistant returned from the auction room and took hold of her arm.
“Up you get miss.†The assistant said pulling the terrified girl to her feet and led her away, Natalie managed one final look back at Bethany who was crying before leaving the room.
Natalie stood trembling at the front of the stage.
“Lot number twelve is Natalie she’s sixteen years old one of our youngest lots today, girls this young don’t come up for auction very often so don’t let this opportunity pass you by.†Jenny Bond told the guests.
Natalie looked around the tables trying to find Mrs. Kozlov; finally she spotted the woman sat at a table in the corner alone.
“So where shall we start for this pretty young thing one million pounds?â€
No paddles were raised.
“Five hundred thousand to start then, surely she’s worth that?â€
A number of paddles were raised, but to Natalie’s disappointment Mrs. Kozlov wasn’t bidding. She quite liked Mrs. Kozlov and if she was to be sold to anyone she wanted to be sold to her.
Bidding was fast and furious and reached one million pounds and still Mrs. Kozlov hadn’t bid. The bidding reached one and a half million and there were only two people left in both men. At one million eight hundred thousand, one of the men dropped out leaving only a creepy looking bald fat man who Natalie didn’t like the look off one little bit,the only one left in.
“One million eight hundred thousand, any more bids now?â€
Natalie looked over at Mrs. Kozlov who never moved.
“All done then? One million eight hundred thousand, going once.â€
Natalie slumped her head dejectedly why hadn't Mrs.Kozlov bid? Had she done or said something at viewing to upset her? if so what? All kinds of questions were going through her head.
“One million eight hundred thousand, going twice. Two million new bidder, you’re just in time Madame.â€
Natalie looked up to see Mrs.Kozlov waving her paddle and holding up two fingers to signal a bid of two million.
“Two million one hundred thousand sir?â€
Natalie was relieved to see the fat man shake his head.
“Two million pounds all done then? Going one, going twice, sold to the lady in the corner for two million pounds.â€
Natalie was crying and shaking with emotion when the assistant took hold of her and led her away to the holding area.
Bethany was next to be brought into the auction room like Natalie and most of the girls before her she stood at the centre of the stage crying and trembling with fear.
“Lot number thirteen is Bethany another pretty sixteen year old.â€
“Poor Claire she looks so frightened up there all alone dear.†Mrs. Andrews said to her husband.â€
“So what I am I bid on this pretty young thing? One Million pounds to start?â€
Mrs. Andrews grabbed their paddle and waved it franticly.
“One million I’m bid, do we have one million one hundred thousand anywhere?â€
The bald fat man raised his paddle
The bidding war between the fat man and the Andrews soon reached two million
“We can’t afford much more dear.†Mr. Andrews told his wife.
“Yes we can, we have to, we can’t let him take Claire.†Mrs. Andrews replied.
“Do I have two million one hundred thousand?â€
The fat man raised his paddle
“One more bid and that’s us finished.†Mr. Andrews said.
“Nooo we can’t†Mrs. Andrews replied waving her paddle in the air.
“Two and half million.†She called out much to everyone’s surprise especially her husband’s.
“That’s enough no more.†Mr. Andrews said snatching the paddle from his wife.
“Two million six hundred thousand sir?†Jenny Bond asked.
The fat man shook his head and dejectedly placed his paddle back on the table.
“Two and a half million, all done? Going once, going twice, sold to the couple in the centre of the room.â€
Mrs. Andrews hugged her husband who still wasn’t happy with what she had done.
Bethany was led from the stage crying, she wasn’t looking forward to her new life as Claire but at least she knew she’d be loved.
