It was a dark and dreary night, one of those evenings they spoke of in various old folklore tales, when the monsters would come out and take you away for some vicious reason or another. The rain had been drizzling down for hours now, just a constant glazing mist which gave the streets an odd type of shining beauty as though the world was made of glass, even the people. The incandescent yellow orbs atop the tall cast iron black lamp posts reminded many of a small sun floating about in the darkness.
The shop door opened and closed with the chipper ringing of the wind chimes that had been struck, it was the owner returning from his trip to the market down the street before they closed. He owed his poor wife an anniversary present since he was already going to be late, his mumbling carrying through the building and making his young assistant smile as she went to help him with his coat and umbrella. "Ghastly weather Isolde, simply ghastly weather I tell you, I should drive and see you home safely," the tall aging man told her as he pushed the door closed and allowed her to help him, a black bag in his right hand.
"I'll be alright Mr. Seward, did you manage to find something nice for your wife?" she inquired nonchalantly as she hung his coat on the rack and set the umbrella atop the towel by the door to drip dry and be cleaned later.
"Yes, yes, now come we should close up and send you on your way, no one will be out in this weather and you need to head home before it gets much worse," he readjusted his tie and headed into the office after he locked the door and turned out the exterior lights as well as the front shop area.
His office was as simple as anyone could ever imagine, hardwood flooring like the rest of the shop with a wooden desk, filing cabinets cluttering one wall within arm's reach of the executive desk, and a long bookcase along the other, two comfortable armchairs sat to the visiting side of the desk and one high-backed office chair on the business side. The door to the back of the room she knew led up to the loft apartment above where he and his luxurious wife lived. He dropped the bag onto the desk and began writing out her paycheck as well as reviewing the night's closing papers to be sure they were all as they should be before he let her go home. "Good, good, two thousand profit today. Alright Isolde, you can go home now, see you tomorrow," he waved a hand and she nodded bidding him goodnight before she went to retrieve her bag and coat.
At the door she unlocked the heavy wood and tugged the hood of her shirt over her head before she stepped out into the night. Mr. Seward locked the door back behind her just as she began to head in the direction of her garage apartment. It wasn't an excruciating distance her apartment, but it was far enough that the walk could be considered a constant daily exercise. She had nearly been hit several times by passing cars late at night, though she guessed it was likely because her black trench coat did nothing but make her appear as a moving shadow between the street lamps. When she heard the accelerating engine of a car she knew to move deeper onto the sidewalk so as not to get side-struck by the idiot at the wheel. It was a dark and dreary night, one of those perfect evenings for some heinous act – the black van had dark windows which made it all the more alarming to her as she glanced over her shoulder at it.
Something was wrong – but there was nothing she could do as the van suddenly slammed on it's brakes, the side door already open and two men jumping out. She moved to run but it was too late, they had her by the waist, a hand clamped tight over her mouth before she could finish her inhale for a loud scream. She slammed into the opposite side of the van which winded her and made stars dance in her vision as she fell to the hard metal floor. The door slammed and there was a banging, the signal for the driver to go before they were noticed, all she could hear was her heart beating hard in her ears as she lifted her head to see only the red odometer lights and the street lamps disappearing as they raced out of the light and became a shadow on the light-less road. Her head ached, her knees now ached equally from taking her weight against the unforgiving metal floor, she was starting to move when she felt a pressure on her spine. Shoved to the floor of the van, cheek scraping on the wet rocks that littered the floor as her coat was ripped from her shoulders, her wrists bound tight behind her back. She was going to scream but the moment her mouth opened she had a leather bar placed in her mouth and buckled behind her head, a blindfold snapping into place over her eyes and on the strap along the sides of her head. All she could do was sob as she was bound and blinded, jerked onto her already bruising knees and shoved into a hard chest.

She had been certain she was going to be taken somewhere and killed, but instead she must have fallen asleep. As she woke she heard several other sobs and felt cold air on her skin that had been covered before. She squirmed and felt her wrists still bound behind her, a loud clang sounded the more she moved and sent her stock still, that was the sound of metal against metal and the wielder meant business. She was still wearing her clothes but they had apparently been strategically ripped open to show her thick cleavage and tight muscled legs. The blindfold was still tight on her eyes keeping her in darkness though she could feel hungry eyes on her and in a sense was rather glad she was left blind. A cane boomed on the ground and sent light vibrations through the metal her knees were against, the shuffling sound that had seemed just a constant static background noise ceased and silence choked the room of oxygen – even the sobs had stopped likely out of shock at the sound of the cane.
"Ladies and gentlemen, tonight we have some fine treats for you of every flavor and all colors desirable. Let's begin the auction. This little beauty is just legal, her body still growing and developing a pretty grapevine that will give only the finest of wines to the gardener who decides to take her home. Still unbroken but very weak willed, she is a prize for the collector of fine art and pride. Let's begin the opening bid at 25,000," a voice announced as a young woman started sobbing again, she was muttering incoherently which meant she was obviously gagged like the rest of them and just as blind, left only with her ability to smell the cold air of the room and hear the voices as bids were placed for her. This was a black market sale of human beings – human trafficking, something she had never thought possible to happen to her.
There were six girls and three men ahead of her before she heard a metal hinge creak and felt strong hands lifting her out of the confinement they had placed her kneeling form in. She was walked down a stage with bare feet and forced onto a hard wooden surface. Her body positioned just so as wooden pedestals dug deep into her chin, hips and knees, a threat hissed into her ear that if she dared to move she would be killed. Out of fear she stayed perfectly still even as she felt her breasts falling forward and threatening to spill out of her too small camisole and opened pull-over, the pedestal at her hips forcing her rear high and her back to arch at a spectacularly uncomfortable angle, her chin pushed high and back to keep her back at that arch. She didn't even want to imagine what she must have looked like with her jeans ripped and transformed into a mini skirt that didn't hide her lacy panties from peeking as the denim stretched tight over her backside.
"This one is spirited, still untouched and fully matured. This voluptuous sylph here will surely make quite the stunning little doll, but such spirit is not to go to those faint of heart. She needs a firm hand and a rough beginning to become a special little doll to showcase. Bids will start at 100,000," the announcer brushed – those were a man's calloused hands – his fingers over her exposed skin and down her cheek before she realized her price was the highest so far. To her surprise the bids started flying left and right until she reached 500,000 and the announcer decided to stop at the last bidder before the price went to high.
Something was clasped around her neck and hung heavy after a moment of clinking – a thick leather collar. The chain rattled as it was clipped to the ring of the collar and she was carefully hoisted back onto her feet and taken back across the stage to the woman who had purchased her. The woman sounded elegant, her voice was like cool silk and wrapped around her mind like a spider's gossamer thread as she thanked whoever had brought her over and took the chain. "You will be such a pretty little toy for my pets to play with, come along now," the woman spoke calmly without a hint of anger or threat in her voice, more like admiration and awe if Isolde had to place it. She wisely did as she was told and followed on the chain, allowing the woman to lead her along until she was shoved into the back of an SUV. Left face down on across the backseat, she couldn't fight the restraints that had been left on her as she felt the assailant bend her knees and slam the door closed. The front doors both opened and closed after a few moments, the engine turning over as the vibrations consumed her tired mind and she fell fast asleep once again.
----------
Waking again she felt lighter than she had before, still blind to the world around her, she focused on listening to her surroundings and discovering where she was now. She was in only her thin white camisole, the fabric bunched up beneath her breasts exposing her bare stomach and sparkling rhinestone belly button ring. Against her bare thighs and back she could feel soft fur, they had removed all but her final layer of clothes, she could feel the fur poking through the lace of her white panties. Her arms were bound above her head to a metal bar, tugging she heard the clanking from the testing struggle, the same at her feet which were spread wide making her completely defenseless. Everything was silent save the crackling fire she could hear off to her right and the sounds of talking and laughter beyond the door to her left, panic rose in her chest as she realized she had been left alone but tightly restrained.
