The Auction novel Chapter 33

Tatina POV

My entire body hurts. I am so weak from the drugs. Here I am a guest in a vampire's home. He is being kind, but I cannot forget he also has someone in his basement. I cannot wait to hear the explanation for all of this.

Poor Jayne. She tried to help me and look where it lands her on the run. I bet it was Glenn. Why did Glenn pretend to help me or tell me to do those things only to text me and set off my own personal hell?

The things he did to me. The way he hit me. The way he raped me repeatedly. I soiled myself over and over. The smell of my bodily fluids all over me while he was pounding into me. Then beat me for not enjoying it.

Those stories of how he loved his precious Julie. Lies Just all Lies. I hope he is dead. I hope he can never hurt another woman again. I wonder if any of it was true. I hope someone kills Glenn too.

I ate everything Draco provided me. I wonder why he is being nice. What does he stand to gain for helping me? Why would Jayne trust him to care for me? These people and this auction business have to stop. The fairies have to be protected.

I am just a nobody how can I think I could ever protect anyone. I am not anyone important. I am just a young woman in the absolute worst mess. At least I am not in the basement.

“Do you need help back to the bed?” Draco asks me.

He has sat there silently. “I am still very weak. My body hurts and I feel dizzy,” I say.

“I will be gentle,” he says.

He scoops me up easily. He carries me back to the bed. He lays me across it. “I will send someone to get you clothes,” he says.

“Thank you. I would very much appreciate that,” I say.

“There are a few things that belonged to my sister in the drawers. You are welcome to any of it. She was tiny like you,” he says.

“Was?” I inquire.

“Yes, was tiny. She died a few years ago. That is a story for another day,” he says.

“Was she a vampire too,” I ask?

“No, she was a fairy. Just like you,” he says.

He turns to leave me to rest.

“Wait,” I say.

He stops. “Are you a hybrid?” I ask.

I can tell he is not ready to talk to me about all of this.

“Tatina I am the bad guy. You need to trust me long enough to be safe and then get far away. There is no need to get to know me,” he says.

“Please tell me are you?” I ask again.

“Yes, I am a hybrid. More vampire than fairy but a hybrid nonetheless,” he answers reluctantly.

“Did they take her?” I ask.

“Who?” he says.

“Your sister. Did the vampire authority take her?” I ask.

“Tatina please, not right now. I really need to go down and settle in my other house guest,” he says.

“Please do not hurt her,” I say.

“I have no intentions of hurting her. I never have any intentions of hurting anyone. I have done nothing but help these poor women escape,” Draco says.

“I am so confused,” I say.

“I know and I will be happy to explain everything later. I need to go check on her and make sure she is comfortable,” he says.
