Fantasy The Harpy Village

(I see. there probably isn't many of either gender, seeing as though the village is near humans.) 
She wandered off into the trees, and then began making her way back home. She couldn't fly much, so the trek up there took longer than she would have like.d
 
Justin told his friends about the harpy when he got home and they asked what location they were in and he told them and they soon left to go find so Slave traders. They prepared to attack the harpy and sell them for money.
 
It was around noon when she got into her nest and fell asleep again, sleeping till sunset.
 
When sunset came the people went to the place and attacked the village killing all the men and capturing all the woman including Ava also. The woman were out in the same cage squeezing them together.
 
Ava was just starting to ake up when suddenly hands were around her and she was thrown into a cage with others. Some were crying, some screaming, and others were looking shaken. Ava was just staring wide eyed.
 
They all didn't care they just finished their job and drove to the Black market and put them down in the market place and put up a price for them.
 
Ava was suddenly being squished by many other wailing and screaming harpies, and was pushed down into a tight little corner. She squeezed her eyes shut, willing herself not to cry.
 
A young boy about the age of 15 walked up to them and he looked at them. "Dumb harpies they don't know why they are here do they." He muttered so the couldn't hear him. He just wanted to see what would happen if he tossed in food from the pack of harpies. He tested it out and tossed bird food in.
 
A few of the harpies tried grabbing some, but others tried getting as far away from it as possible. Some, like Ava, did nothing. But she was really the only one who only stared at the boy, watching his every move.
 
The boy got tired of them complaining so he kicked the cage and yelled at them. "You will all be sold to others you don't have a pick on it. If you do not get sold within three days you will be killed and we will make sure your deaths will be painful. But if I hear a peep out of you the same with that harpy-" he pointed at Ava "will happen to you so be quiet!"
 
"I never did anything," Ava said simply, and soon all the eyes of the harpies were on the human, waiting for him to react to the girl's answer. They did shut up though, they didn't even open their mouths.
 
"Not my fault. I was stabbed," She said simply, looking him in the eye with narrowed eyes.
 
"I'm just saying that will happen to the other harpies" he told her the he just had a itching finger to make the girl shut up. He just shot a harpy with a fatal blow near her and he smiled "Now don't speak or that will be you. Now harpies I hope you enjoy your dinner." He smirked as he wanted to see if the other harpies would eat the harpy he killed. That was the only thing he would feed them until he saw the dead harpies body gone.
 
Ava glanced to her right to see a small hole in the harpy's chest. The others were trying to get as far away as possible, a few even weeping softly. Ava just glared at the boy and turned to lean her back against the bars now that she had more room. None of the harpies went to eat the dead one, but she did hear a few murmuring that they were hungry.
 
After one day past a few harpies were being sold but Justin busy with his studies on school to even know about the harpy selling. The 15 year old walked over and saw the dead harpy not touched "You will have to eat her eventually or you won't be sold and you know what will happen" he said to the rest of them
 
Some harpies began to sob at the thought, but still, Ava was emotionless. She was very hungry, but not enough to eat one of her own kind.


Dimly, she wondered if Justin was thinking about her, and if he knew about the sales. Would he come save her if he knew?
 
He saw the harpies cry and he yelled at them "Shut up!" He hated when they complained some still were in shape but others looked skinny as a bone but yet they still didn't want to eat the dead harpy.


As the next day passed more of the in shape harpies were sold off and the skinny ones were still there but the boy just smirked knowing they had one more day. Meanwhile one of Justin's friends bragged about having a harpy and they were being sold off as pets. Justin didn't bother to go today but he might as well check it out the next day.
 
Ava was one of the skinny ones, and she stared at all the humans that came to buy harpies, and made them nervous and not want her. She didn't want to be bought. Or killed. She was hoping Justin would come. He was the only human she would ever dream about trusting even a little.


The night of the second day, the other harpies were arguing and were even beginning to near the rotting body and prod at it, wondering if they were really hungry enough to eat it.
 
"Ladies you should eat the body or you will be killed, this is your last day to eat the harpy or you will all be gone." He smirked at all of them then he said "After you eat the harpy the better food will come so you can be happy.
 
"They will die anyways," Ava said bluntly, and in a hushed voice. She was in the same corner, having not moved barely an inch in the last two days. She sent a glance up at him and asked, "Why make them suffer, and then waste your food?"
 
"Suffering goes first before pleasure" he said to the harpy Ava there were about six left excluding Ava. He wanted to see if they were that desperate to rest better food that they would eat the harpy.
 
One of the harpies glared at Ava and then tore a piece of flesh off the dead, rotting harpy. Ava could see she somewhat regretted what she did, when she pushed the flesh in her mouth. Ava also noticed that the harpy that had done that, used to be one of the... 'biggest' harpies in the village. Now she was nearly as skinny as Ava herself. Ava was one of the skinniest.
