The Neko and the Slave Master (1x1 between Captainsassypants and me)

[MadamMadness]

A Neko was born to a royal family. She was prized throughout the kingdom. Her parents loved her, and thought of her as a miracle to them. That was all ruined. One day, when the parents had left, the child was taken straight from her crib. No one ever knew why someone would take something so precious, till this day. The baby was taken to be raised as a slave. A royal Neko would make someone quite a pretty penny. What will happen to this slave?

Mia Stood in the center of a small sitting room her hands clasp behind her back as she awaited the arrival of a prospective buyer. Really it made her sick the way she was treated as a mere object to be sold off to the highest bidder. She was a living creature with thoughts and feelings, did that not matter? Apparently not, all her life had been accumulating to this, at least that was what she had been told. Everything she had been forced to endure or learn was for this moment so some wealthy person would come and be willing to shell out lots of money to the people keeping her her, but at what cost to her?


Now she was standing in the center of a room so that somebody could come look her up and down to decided if they would buy her, making her there own personal pet. The idea terrified her more than anything. She could hardly keep from shaking. She wished desperately they wouldn't want her and she could go back to her life of doing house work and helping the new girls that were brought to this awful place. She didn't really like it there but she was afraid of what a new home could bring. She had heard more than enough horror stories to know what could possibly happen to her when she was sold off to some stranger.

Aubron got up that morning, and got dressed. On this day he had decided to go, and get a slave to keep in his home. He lived in the mountains, the farthest away he could be from the city. It was completely surrounded by woods all the way around. No one else lived out this far, which was exactly what he wanted in the end. He didn't much care to be around people more than he had to be, but he had grown lonely in his home. Besides, he needed someone to help take care of his home while he was away doing whatever he needed to. Aubron spent most of his time outdoors, being cooped up in a space for any amount of time drove him crazy. He got himself up, and headed out of his home.


I better be off before, I'm late to becoming a Slave Master. Hmph. He honestly didn't like the fact of becoming a slave owner, but he really did need help around his home. Not that he'd ever admit it to anyone, but he really did. He teleported himself outside the front door of the building he was supposed to meet the slavers. He opened the door, and walked in the door. He saw no one, but a girl standing in the middle of the room. She was shaking, and obviously a Neko. He was upset, and angered at how much she didn't want to be here and how scared she looked. Auborn knew that she wouldn't be happy at first, and he could understand why. He would show her that her life at his home would be a million times better than her life with the slavers. He would free every slave if he could.

Hearing the door open Mia sucked in a breath her eyes glued to her feet, her ears were back, and her tail was pulled in close to her legs. she would not dare lay eyes on the person who had come to see her. Don't pick me, don't pick me, please don't pick me Was all that was running through her head at the moment. Only a second after the man arrived a slaver entered the room from another door a wide smile on his face. "Hello, sorry I wasn't here to greet you sooner, I was just in the other room filling out some paper work" The man apologized and greeted Aubron. He then became all business his eyes going to Mia "We weren't sure what you wanted so we pulled our best" The man started his hand motioning toward the girl. "This is Mia and as I'm sure you can see she's a Neko, but that's not all, believe it or not she is royalty having come from a royal family of Neko's." The man went on describing her and trying to sell her as if she was a car. " She is 19 and has been here for a long time so I can assure you she is trained very well" The man finished and then looked to Aubron expectantly


All the while Mia only stood and fidgeted uncomfortably trying her hardest to stop shaking. In only a matter of moments her life could change drastically, it all depended on what this man thought of her. She wished she could disappear, go hide in a small little space, if they couldn't find her than it would be impossible to sell her then wouldn't it. "Mia," She heard the slavers voice pulling her out of her thoughts. "Don't be rude, why don't you greet the nice man?" He said phrasing it like a question but she knew well enough that it was an order. "Hello, it's nice to meet you sir." She said very softly as she peeked up through her lashes at Aubron.

 

[MadamMadness]

Aubron's anger only grew as the slaver spoke to him. Mia as he called her did not want to be here, and there was no way he could show her that it would so much better coming with him. I don't even want to think of the life she's had to live with this whole time. Aubron looked to the slaver. "She was taken from a royal family? How have they not found her, and how was she even taken in the first place. A royal child is not something left unprotected." Aubron couldn't think of anyone who would have the skills to be able to pull something like that off. This feels wrong, and this man is a scumbag that doesn't deserve the pathetic life he has. I can't leave her here though, not after what I can see. Aubron smirked, he was going to take her with him, but he was not going to pay for this. This man deserved no money for this. All he used it on was himself, and he could see that. He wanted to kill this man so bad, wanted to see his life end in front of his eyes. Now was not the time though, he would be the one to do it in the end though.


The slaver watched him carefully as he walked forward a little ways. Aubron could only imagine what was going through her head at the moment. It can't be very good thoughts. Here I'm going to get no where trying to show her that life could be better if she'd only come with me. He watched the slaver intently as he spoke to Mia, watching for anything that would make him need to do something now. When Mia spoke it almost shocked him, he figured she would remain quite for the rest of the meeting. "Hi, it's a pleasure to meet you Mia." He smiled the best he could at her, being a demon meant he usually wasn't friendly. In an instant Aubron dashed to the slaver, and had him by the throat. "Now listen to me, she's coming with me but you won't be paid. I am going to give you money, but is to only be used for the other girls, do you understand? If you don't, and you spend it on anything else, I will know and I will come back. That will be the end of you, and it'll my pleasure to end your miserable life." He sat the slaver back down on the ground, and handed him a rolled up wad of cash.

The slaver seemed a little lost for words when Aubron questioned how they were able to obtain Mia. "Well I couldn't tell you how she was taken, that's not our job. This is just where she was brought afterwards" He explained not really wanting to go into detail about it. Even Mia didn't know how it happened, she was much to little to remember. She had lived with the slavers for as long as she could remember, it was all she knew. Now she finally had a chance to leave this place but she was too afraid to take it. She knew nothing about the man in front of her, how was she to know he would not be a thousand times worse than the slavers were? After all he had come to this place looking to buy a slave and in her eyes that made him no better than the slavers.


Mia didn't say anything more after the man spoke to her. She looked at him for a moment longer noting his smile, his strange eyes, and the scars scattered along the skin that she could see. None of those things made her feel particularly at ease if anything it made her wonder at how he could have obtained such scars and why his eyes were so peculiar. She was careful not to look to long and soon let her gaze fall back to the floor. Not even half a second later though her head shot up as the man lunged at the slaver grabbing him by the throat. As that was happening Mia quickly moved back out of the way completely shocked as she looked around helplessly trying to figure out what she should do. Should I scream for help? What is he doing? she wondered terrified he could turn his wrath onto her, but strangely enough he seemed to be trying to help her and the other girls which made her decide against screaming. After the slaver was set back on his feet he only nodded his head "Okay, Okay! Take what ever you want, I'll do it, just please don't hurt me!" He pleaded, cowering his hands going up to protect his head in case of another attack.

 

[MadamMadness]

Aubron smiled, the thought of this man cowering before him fueled his demon even more. "I will not kill you. Not yet anyways. So, quit your cowering. I will be taking Mia with me now. You do best not to say anything about this to anyone, because if you do I will know. I will come back to, count on it." He could feel the rage build up inside of him, it was so consuming. It took everything he had not to go into his demon form there and now, and end his life. But, he told the man that he would not kill him today, so he would stick with his word. He walked over to Mia. "I will not force you to come with me, that would make me as bad as the slavers. But, I do want to offer you a better home, a place where you can feel safe. If you wanted me to, I could even help you find your real parents. I mean you absolutely no harm, and never will. I just wish to help." Aubron walked away from her, and ran a hand through his hair. He felt awful about the way he had acted in front of her, but she didn't scream or make any sound. She must not have thought it to be too bad then.


He looked back at her, and quit pacing the floor. "I will also offer to help the other slaves that you know of, not right now of course. But, in the future. I-I just don't want to see something like this continue. I didn't understand how angered I'd get when I came. If you don't wish to go with me I will take you anywhere you want to go. Or if you just want to walk out of this room, and start your own life I will give you money." He walked to the back wall of the room, and braced his hands up against the wall. Come on now, just calm down. Losing control now will only make a bad situation worse. That man will be dealt with in time, just not today. "If you wish to go with me then we need to be going soon."

Mia took a few steps backwards practically stumbling on her own feet as Aubron approached her. Quickly she looked side to side for somewhere to run if needed. However when she heard him offer her a better home and help finding her real parents she froze, not saying anything only looking at him wide eyed for a few moments. Is it safe? She wondered. She knew nothing about him and she had just watched him scare the slaver half to death. How was she to know that he could be trusted? Even if he did claim he was trying to help her and promised not to harm her, what if he was lying? She wasn't sure what she should do. It would be dumb of her to stay with the slavers when there was a chance to finally have a better life, but would going with him be smart? She could go off on her own, he said he would give her money, but she didn't have anywhere to go how would she survive? Besides if she went of alone it would make it to easy for the slavers to find her and bring her back.


Finally making up her mind she sucked in a breath giving the man another uneasy look "I'll go with you" She said trying to make it sound like she wasn't afraid as she took a small step towards him. She then cast a glace towards the slaver who had retreated to the other side of the room trying to get out the same way he had come in. Perhaps he was going to alert the other slavers . She half-expected him to try and keep her from leaving, but after nearly being killed she figured he was too frightened to do much of anything but run. She then turned her attention back to Aubron waiting for him to tell her what to do now.
