The boys are all staring with excitement, ready to devour what's under my dress.
"The four of you, get down with her and do the needful," his voice growled again.
My hand trembling "No!..." I screamed.
My knees slammed to the cold floor.
"Plea... please Master, I am not like this. It is my first time try me with other test" I cried.
The boys were forcefully trying to tear off my dress.
"Stop," He ordered. He walked to stand in my front and dragged my hair to look at him.
He took his hand to the hem of my dress, tearing it into two. The black silk gown fell to the floor, revealing my blue g- string and bra.
He scanned my body and took his hand to my right breast.
He scoffs. "too small" he whispered but loud enough for me to hear.
"This is your only test, either you do it and live or I kill you for being a threat to the clan."
He paused, "You already know things about my clan. Your death is inevitable." He growled.
Tears rolled down my face.
"Are you willing to die or break the hymen in between your legs?" he asked.
I sniffled and looked blankly at him.
He smirks, "You had the chance to leave, but you turned it down. It is either you stay or die.
“He said, his voice low and husky.”
""I...I want to live," I stammered.
"Good girl," he smirked.
"Your first test starts tomorrow with a bid,"" He rose to his feet and inserted his hands into his pocket. "Ariana," He called. She came running over with a bow.
"You share the same room with May?"
"Yes sir," she bowed.
“Prepare her for tomorrow’s party,” he ordered.
His eyes widened as they settled on me, sending a shiver down my spine.
"I hope you don't fail for your sake." He faced me with a cold warning stare.
"Yes sir "I whispered. He gave a displeased huff, then turned and marched away, his boys following closely behind.
I sniffed and lowered to pick up the pieces of gown on the floor to cover up some parts of my body.

The walk to the room was silent, tears rolled down my face, "I know exactly what bid is meant for. I will be taken to a party and be put up for sale like a commodity for the powerful men and the highest bidder gets to sleep with me".
"Will I be able to survive this?" I asked myself. "I never planned to lose my virginity so soon in a cruel manner."
Ariana noticed the tears glistening in my eyes, but she pretended not to see them.
Without saying a word, she walked over to my side, slipped her right hand into mine, and gave it a gentle squeeze. Together, we walked quietly toward our room.
"I will stay with you tonight," Ariana said immediately we stepped into the room.
Ariana is always out with her lover and doesn't sleep in the room.
"I nodded" and went to switch off the brightening white light.
I marched over to May's bed and slumped on the soft bunker bed and positioned my face to the wall.
""My mind drifted to how tomorrow's agony will be." I wailed and wiped off the tears on my face.
Ariana went to her bed too and covered herself with the white duvet.
"I also lost my virginity in a brutal way." Ariana's voice echoed in the dark room.
"I sniffed" and stayed muted.
"I also joined at the same time as May. We all had it tough." she continued.
"I was used by two men. When the man that won the bid finished with him, his friend asked for a round which he allowed."
Ariana sniffed, "A girl even tried to run away because she was having constant bleeding, but Master Leonardo caught her."
"What happened to her?" I voiced out softly.
"He killed her the following day".
"That's not fair," I screamed and sat up immediately.
"Nothing is fair here, Lisa. Once you step in, it is impossible to leave, you just have to accept it," Ariana consoled.
"The next s*x I had was with three clan members. The Master instructed them to use me. It continued that way until I was able to endure pain and pleasure.
"I went for my first ever mission on my sixth test and passed. That was when I became a full member of "The Leo Clan".
Ariana paused and sighed.
I got a better view of her face thanks to the ray of the moon. She looks neither sad nor happy, just a straight face.
"Why did you come here?" I chipped in.
"Master is the one that brought me."
I twitched my nose and dilated my eyes keenly towards her face.
"When Master came and killed the family I stayed with was when we met. They tried to fly out of the country without paying him back".
"Even though killing all of them is...terrible," "Don't you hate him?” I asked, my eyes widened for her answer.
"I don't," she rolled her eyes.
"I know I’m a different kind, but they never accepted me. Only insult and humiliation is what I get every day, at least I'm accepted here," she said with no waver in her voice.
I slumped to my bed. "Good night Ari.."
"Good night Lisa, you will get over it" she assured. I placed my head on my pillow to call it a night.
------------
I woke up to see May sitting at my front. I furrowed my brows.
"When did you get back?" I whispered, lifting my leg to sit upright.
"This morning, how are you feeling?" she asked.
"I... I'm fine," I sniffed, "I went to the convocation hall yesterday and ..." I stammered.
"Shhhh," she gently placed her right index finger on my lips.
"You don't have to say it, I know you were very scared in there. I'm here for you now" she assured. And embraced me with a tight hug.
Tears strolled down my cheeks,
"What do you want to have for breakfast?" She asked, staring at my face.
""Umm..." I stammered. "Don't worry, I will get something delicious for you," she said.
I gave a weak smile. "Where is Ariana?"
"She is probably still with her lover, " May said.
"But...she slept here tonight."
"Really!" May said. "This should be in the Guinness book of record," we laughed and she left the room.

Evening...
"Don't you think this pink gown will be perfect for her?" Ariana said to May, who was also checking out a long white gown.
"Lisa despises Pink. She won't agree to wear that."
"That's strange," Ariana said and dilated her eyes to me. I lowered my gaze to the floor.
The thought of what's going to happen at the party is scaring the hell out of me.
"Do you like this one?" May's voice interrupted my thoughts.
I stared at the flowery black gown and nodded.
The Walk to the party was quiet for me though Ariana and May were chatting ." I'm surprised you are not with Johnny tonight," May said.
""Umm...yea, I want to escort my baby girl." She teased and held my right hand.
Ariana is wearing a pink, short, sleeveless gown paired with white stilettos to match her outfit.
May is dressed in casual baggy jeans and top. The cold breeze sent chills to my body when we got to the entrance of the hall.
"I sighed" and stepped into the hall, my black gown hugging my body as music filled the air. People turned their eyes following me, the boys whispered trailing behind.
“She’s so hot,” a guy said.
"Can't wait to devour her," Another one said and gave his lips a lick.
I ignored them, flickering my gaze from face to face, searching for an empty s
eat.
My breath hitched as my eyes locked with someone across the room.
He sat there calmly and watched me like a prey. A chill ran down my spine and I looked away instantly.
