The Story of Hanna/Slave Market/Day One/Afternoon

From All The Fallen Stories
Jump to navigation Jump to search

After relaxing for an unspecified amount of time, you fell asleep. It wasn't your intention, but you just couldn't help it. You were caught in a quiet moment with nobody talking around you, and you let the sandman have the better of you.

"Wake up, Hanna", you hear a voice say. It doesn't take you even a second to realize what's going on, or who's talking to you for that matter. It's Gilles, and he's standing behind the bars, looking at you with a kind smile on his face. Seeing him this kind is almost unsettling. He's urging you to get up. "It's almost time. I'm going to give you a comprehensive rundown of your work so you can start."

You suppose there's no choice, so you step down from the bed, walking up to him, quietly and obediently.

Gilles's smile disappears for a moment. "Do you still remember what I said yesterday?" he asks, kneeling down in front of you, connecting a leash to your collar. "You need to start behaving now. Let me hear your voice."

"Hanna will behave…"

"Address me properly, Hanna."

Your voice is quiet, so your reluctance must be obvious to him. "Yes, master…" you reply, per his demands.

"That's better", he says, nodding and smiling, getting back properly on his feet. It doesn't look like he minds you appearing a little scared and meek. No, he probably likes it.

You stand in the main hall, and the preparations are on the way. Based on what you see, it looks like the place is about to open. Gilles is quick to confirm this to you.

"Soon, customers will come", he explains. "The first couple of hours are always the quietest, but all slaves are fully expected to be present here in one capacity or another. When the doors open, your freedom to walk around will end. If you're not here when you're expected to be, there will be disciplinary measures taken by the end of the day. Do I make myself clear?"

"Yes, master."

"Good. All you have to do is be present." Next, he walks you across the hall to a room hidden behind thin, see-through curtains laced with white silk and gold. "You are expected to work mainly here in the children section, or in the VIP section on select nights. As valuable and precious as you are to me, you won't be working in the VIP area today or tomorrow, as the area is deserved for different slaves today. Now, there are various different ways customers will engage you, and it's important for you to behave accordingly. You're never allowed to cover yourself up, and you must always let them see you completely. They can talk to you and ask you questions for free, and you are expected to always answer. They can also touch you for free if they want to, but that requires a special permission. Not from you, mind you, but from one of the guards." Then, he shows you the part of the leash he's gripping into. "Every customer will be handed one of these when they enter. They can purchase the right to put it on you, after which you must accompany them and serve them in any way they want. There are limits to what they can do, but generally speaking you must follow their every demand. Obey their commands even if you know that what they're doing is against the rules. Guards will intervene if the customers will do something to you that they're not allowed to. It's their job to correct and remind customers about their rights, not yours."

You kind of want to ask what you should do while the customers are not bothering you. You suppose you can just fool around or talk to other slaves. It seems like the customers are the kings here - as is typically the case in almost every business - so you can't just walk to them and approach them independently.

"Every customer also has some tickets with them. They are the local currency of this slave market and are used to purchase favors from you. It's one ticket to have you accompany a customer for fifteen minutes. They can also rent you, and just so you know, your rental costs twenty tickets for an hour. The price varies from girl to girl, but I supposed it's okay to give you the highest price for the first couple of days just so see how customers react. When you're rented, you can be taken away by the customer outside the main halls to private areas, where they can use you as they please. Once again, there are rules they must follow, but you still must do everything they tell you to. If you want to know more, ask other girls and guards, but only if they're free. Do not bother ANYONE who's got a customer with them. Any questions?"

"You talked about disciplinary measures, master…"

"Ah, yes. That is very important", he says, nodding and smiling, again. You realize that he does this a lot when he's pleased with you. "I'm not sure if you know, but there is a little disciplinary area underground. Based on your actions, you receive a score. If it's positive, nothing will happen, but if it's negative, you will be punished based on your score. Don't think that you can carry your positive score to the next day though, as it will be reset every day." He finally releases you from the leash and gives you a little stroke on your cheek. He reaches into his pocket, and he picks up another piece of medicine, similar to one you had yesterday. "Now, here's your daily dose of medicine. Please take it."

The effects of the last medicine haven't even worn out yet, so you're a little worried about taking a new one. You trust that he knows what he's doing, and that it won't have any negative effects on you aside from being unable to cool down. You thank your master in a way he expects you to, and you open your mouth to let him put it in. You remember; that's what he wanted you to do yesterday.

"Just like that", he says, laying the pill down on your tongue. "Just behave well and you don't have to worry about being punished. I will come meet you later. For now though, I have important matters to attend to."

Per his wishes, you stay in the children's section.

You begin your day by walking around and checking places to familiarize yourself with your working environment properly. Maybe you've already visited this place once, but it was so briefly that you didn't get to see everything. Near the doors, there is a wide, flat floor, and there are a dozen of tables there, onlooking a stage decorated by gorgeous, wine red curtains and four poles for naughty dancing. In addition to the exit, there's a shortcut to the private quarters upstairs as well as underground. Lastly, there are additional tables by the walls, a bar in a central location, and even a little corner with toys in it; a corner similar to what you have in some restaurants where bored children can go play while their parents and other older patrons talk about boring stuff.

As soon as the customers start filing in, the first couple of men enter the children section, looking to have some good time. Gilles said that the first couple of hours are always quiet, but by the time five minutes have gone by, ten customers have already entered. Young and old, poor and rich, slim and chubby, there are a lot of different men. Still, there's not enough for all the girls, as the children vastly outnumber the customers. You're standing in a quiet corner of the room, leaning against the wall like a cute little wallflower, unsure what to do. So far you've shared gazes with only few of the customers, and out of those few, only one of them has taken real interest in you. It takes about three minutes for him to get back to you and approach you. You weren't expecting to be picked up so quick.

This man can't be older than twenty. Honestly, he's pretty cute. His babyface is shaved, and his brown hair is unkept and messy. His dress consists of straight pants, a white linen shirt and a brown sleeveless vest. It's hard to determine whenever he's a man of wealth, but you have a feeling that you're way too expensive for him to rent. Not to say you're feeling cocky or anything; that's just Gilles's words resonating in your mind. Regardless, you're going to serve him like any other customer. "It' been a while since I've seen a blonde like yourself", he says, in a complementary tone. "You're so fair and frail… What's your name?"

"Hanna."

"O-oh… I'm Thomas", he says, eyeing around, as if wanting to find a guard. You can see that he's got three tickets in his hand. Like you expected, he won't be renting you - unless he's willing to go buy more - but based on the look on his face, he looks more than happy to just have you spend time with him. "You may be too expensive for me", he says, with an embarrassed look on his face, "But at least I can have you accompany me."

Even in this situation, you can't help but to smile at the idea of being fawned over, so you crack a smile. "Hanna would be pleased to spend time with you…" You might as well try and make some extra buck for your new master by serving your customers in the very best manner you can. Who knows? Maybe good karma goes a long way here.

"Y-yes, please come with me." Thomas takes you to the nearest guard and presents him with one ticket. He takes the ticket quietly, and glances at you, almost as if telling you something through his facial gestures. You're not sure what he means, so you just tilt your head. Before the guard gets an opportunity to open his mouth, Thomas takes your hand, pulling you lightly. It looks like not even guards can intervene by talking to slaves who are serving a paying customer. "Come this way", he suggests in a nervous tone. You raise your hand, putting the thumb inside your collar, pulling on it, trying to present the ring for him to put the leash on. He's not sure how to react, so he just ends up letting a laugh. "There's no need for that. You seem obedient enough, so just follow me, okay?"

"Okay", you say, smiling.

He takes you to a corner table; it's a round little table almost entirely encircled by a long, circular sofa, with space for roughly six fully grown adults, and you have this table all to yourself. There are a lot of these pods in a ring beside the walls on this side of the cabaret, onlooking only the bar in the central location, with the performance stage hidden from view. You sit down beside him, and it looks like he's not waiting at all. He comes straight on you, with his lips stealing a kiss from you. You're not sure if he actually can do that to you, but true to the instructions you've been given, you take everything that's coming your way. You're not in a position to question how far he's allowed to go. At this point, it's only a question of how you will go about your business.
