"Hey-" She felt so weighed down by the chains, like she was going to collapse at any moment. Why did she have to be so frail? She hated it. She tried her best to glare at the man, but turned away quickly in fear of what he would do to her.

The first few auctions passed rather smoothly, with people being bought at alarming rates. Those that weren’t sold were brought away to be killed, screaming and the more valuable the child, the higher the prices soared. “2 million We have 2 million! Calling once, twice annnnnnd Sold! To the fine lady in gold! Thank you, thank you, we have come to the end of Round 1! Please, ladies and gentlemen, feel free to take a look at what is to come, this magnificent music class creature with clouds for hair! She’s pretty and young, so I’m sure you’ll love her! Before we get to her though, let me introduce the Newbury Student Selection, starting with this lovely boy here, ending off with the top student of the Academy, Kendo Satou!”

Andrea snaps her fingers, cueing the man beside her to raise his hand. He seemed to be outbid by others, but as the prices seemed to halt, he would outbid them and claim his prize, prompting Andrea to shoot him a sickeningly sweet smile, a gesture returned affectionately by the man. Andrea smirks like a cat that just caught the canary, watching as her little friend bought off several Newbury students, before arriving at Sera.

What was going on? This was all so... Familiar. It was sickening. She hated this- all of this. She attempted to use her magic to create a thick mist so she could try to escape, but all of her emotions were swirling inside her at once, making it unable to focus. This isn't what she wanted- she wanted to go back to school and be with Jack and Kendo and the others and not have to worry about anything anymore.

"Mama..." She whispered, staring at Jack. One of her eyes was actually visible, showing it's cloudy white hue to everyone, but her gaze stayed on the one person who acted like a real mother. "Mama..."

She shook her head just barely, and for the first time-

A tear fell. And another. And another.

She was crying.

The students were being sold at an alarming rate. Dozens of different buyers, all paying millions apiece. Jack had more than enough cash for the bidding right now; she was only concerned at the trickery that would doubtlessly emerge.

Jack's heart was breaking, splintering into a million, tiny glass pieces, but she stared straight ahead. She couldn't let the others know how desperately she wanted, needed, to win Sera back. But the silvery tears that glinted of the girl's cheeks made her blood boil with fury. What did they do to her? How many would she have to kill?

Kill? Did Jack say kill? A slip of the tongue, perhaps.

She heard movement behind her. Andrea. What the hell did that psycho think she was doing?

It was never meant to be.

The auctioneer tapped his mic.

"It seems that were already down to the last item of the first half! See, this next one's a 7th years student at Newbury's academy! It's an awful special one, it is. Get this, 'er 'air is made of clouds. She's a quite powerful practitioner o' magic, as well, see? She'd make an awful good battle mage if you could control her, yeah?"

Sera was dragged up to the front of the stage.

"Awright, le's start with... 600 coins. Do I hear 600?"

Is it
wickedness?

Or is it
weakness?

Andrea raised her arm lazily, “I’ll take her for a nice thousand coins, what do you think?” She drawls, looking directly at the auctioneer. Either Sera of Kendo. Any one would be enough…but yes….two would be nice Another voice piped out from the crowd, calling out 5 thousand, only to be outbid by another masked figure wearing a black mask with a golden rose on it. The man beside Andrea bore the same rose on his mask, though differently colored, and as the auction went on and the numbers rose, more rose-symboled masked men (and women) joined in on the bidding. It was now becoming clearer where Andrea thought she would get her money from. She didn’t have to have any. Not when she had a loyal following, however small. It seemed the number stalled at a neat 50 thousand coins, by the man beside Andrea. She smiled and gave him a quick kiss on the cheek, daring Jack to take that number higher. If Jack wanted the number to go up, then Andrea would be more than happy to comply

Sera was shaking- she hated this. She had to use her magic, so that's what she did. She tried again, and eventually, mist began to engulf the room, starting off light, and becoming heavier. She couldn't think far ahead enough to know that this definitely wouldn't work- and the guard was right next to her. "I don't wanna go- I don't wanna leave Mama...!"

She stood. "Fifty-five thousand five hundred fifty-five coins." Jack spoke in a clipped British accent, obscuring her identity. She refused to make eye contact. Not with Andrea, not with her beau, not with Kendo, not with Sera.

It was never meant to be.

Andrea got up, a sweet voice drawling out “Sixty thousand coins.” She rebutted calmly, now fanning herself to hide another grin on her face. This vixen was certainly up to no good. She fanned the mist away from her face, snapping her fingers as some people sprang into action, drawing the mist away and out of the room. “Well. That wasn’t expected. No matter, we can all view the merchandise quite clearly now, yes?” She asks, to a resounding cheer from the crowd.

"We have 60,000! Do I hear 61,000? No? Going once, going twice..."

"70,000. and one."

A short, black-haired girl took a seat next to Jack, yawning.

"I swear, you all forgot about me."

Lydia grinned.

"Luckily, I'm here to save the day! With money!"

"Idiot. I have more than enough," Jack hissed, but she let the bid stand. Lydia's presence, although far too late, was comforting nonetheless. Now how would she kill these people?

Yeesh. Why did she keep thinking about killing? Jack enjoyed dueling for the adrenaline rush, not the pleasure of trouncing her opponents.

Lydia shrugged.

"What, you need to save my brother as well. Don't tell me you forgot about your beloved."

Lydia laughed, talking far too quick.

"Well, not my problem. I'm sure I have a lot more money than you so..."

Jack shook her head, returning her gaze to the main stage. Her money was hard-earned, but she wasn't going to say no to a little cash infusion. Ordinarily, she would have more than enough to save both of them and Artemis's beloved Emma, but Andrea was messing with the system.

“Seventy seven thousand.” Andrea rebutts. Her face contorted into a slight frown, but she otherwise didn’t react. Lydia meant one more person to bid-fight against, but not enough. She glanced towards the man beside her, who gives her a nod, smiling as he gestured for her to raise it as high as she wanted. Andrea didn’t bother to sit now. Not when she had two competitors.

"Eighty thousand." Jack also remained standing, her posh British accent still immaculately formal. These murderous rages were starting to become a... problem.

What was Andrea thinking. That was the question of the hour. Jack decided to be logical and ask her ~~instead of simply killing her~~, sending a note her way. Because in that moment, Jack had figured it out. She knew who had bought Andrea and Jasmine's sister.

Quote from Jack's NoteWhat the [redacted] are you trying to pull? Last I checked, we had a deal. Your lack of cooperation is making this harder than it needs to be.

Sera kept her head low. So this was it. She was going to be bought off again....

Again?

Yes, that is what happened, isn't it? She could almost remember it clearly. The marks on her body. The voices. The money. It was awful.

“Ninety thousand.” Andrea was quick to react, sharp eyes scanning the auction board as the numbers changed once again. She glanced at the note from Jack, raised an eyebrow and scribbled something on it before sending it back to Jack.

Quote from AndreaHow am I to know what stunt you pull? For all I know you won’t hold up your end of the deal. And obviously, why would I want to make this easy for any of us? I don’t need to explain it to you, I’m sure you already know hostages means leverage.

"120 thousand!"

Lydia piped up cheerfully.

Meanwhile, Kendo was... sitting in his cell.

Quietly.

Which was odd, since the rest of the people being auctioned off were already being pulled backstage.

Quote from Jack's Second NoteLet me have the girl, or I'll kill your sister. I know where she is. Unlike you, I keep my bargains.

This bidding war would go on forever unless she struck some sort of deal with Andrea. Jack closed her eyes, letting Lydia's bid stand. Jack dealt in direct words. She meant what she said. Her word was upheld. She duelled honestly. This was getting tedious.

It was never meant to be.

“125 thousand.” Once again, quick to counteroffer. She glanced at the new note, before scribbling something on it.

Quote from AndreaTold you before, don’t need her alive. Besides, Sera’s only a bargaining chip. I’ll uphold my end of the bargain if you uphold yours. If I get the girl, you have my word I’ll keep her well looked after. Until you uphold your end of the bargain. Then I’ll gladly return her to you, then we can go our separate ways
