Little Of Loure

1- Rejected Prince, Rejected Little

The man in the red suit stood tall on the stage with the thin microphone to his lips, calling out the names of each Little that was carried onto the stage by a caretaker.

Some wore beautiful dresses and some in adorable onesies. The boys were in purple clothing and the girls yellow to make it easier for the vampires to identify them. This section was for the girls and boys while Zone C is where the auction for non-binary and trans littles was being held.  

The vampires roamed the area freely. It was almost like a soirée where food and drinks were being served by waitresses walking around and there was soothing music playing by a live band. The setting was extravagant and it was obvious that this auction was meant for elites and royals caretakers. The Littles were all nicely taken care of adorned in beautiful clothes and spoiled with treats. It was no doubt that they have and will continue to live a privileged lifestyle.

Each little that have been introduced were set down in their own individual playpen that was covered by a glass fencing towards the wall. Separating them from each other. Each pen had toys, a bottle, soft blankets, pillows, stuffies, and binkies. On the glass, a piece of laminated paper states their name, gender, birthday, both their real age and headspace age, and other general information.

'Ruby, age 19. Infertile, virgin.' the announcer announced as a man carried a sweet little girl up the stage to show the bidder.

'She will be starting at $5.5M. Please hold your cards until the end.'

The caretaker walked off the stage with the little and proceeded to place her down in one of the playpen that had her name on it. Some of the vampires smiled and nodded in approval.

The Littles that are taken in by Lit Inc. are only the best. The company receives thousands of applications from humans wanting to become littles for the rich. Some do it for personal reasons and some do it to support their family, where the household will receive a sum of payment regularly as long as the little has been chosen by a vampire and are staying with them. But that is a rare occurrence. Most humans find it unethical and would not give their daughters or sons up for this.

The company will go through an intensive background check on each of them before any are accepted to be adopted by the vampires.

The humans have to first be evaluated on their health conditions. They are ranked from healthiest to least healthiest by a professional doctor and that will affect the price in which their bidding starts. Same for the other characteristics.

A standard for every little is $1M. As they meet every criterion, the starting price goes up and the final price depends on the actual bidding. They are even evaluated down to their behavior and how they interact with caregivers. All this to ensure that the elites will get only the best little to call their own.

'That will be all the Littles that will be put up for the auction. You will be given 2 hours to go through them and meet each and every one. If a little catches your eye, feel free to place your sticker on their playpen. This process is mainly for us to evaluate their popularity amongst you and to use as a guide for our future selections. Enjoy!' the man announced into the microphone and walked off the stage. At the same time, all the vampires stood up and started making their way towards the playpens.

Some were already sure about who they wanted and immediately gravitated to the human, while others mingled around, searching for one to get their attention.

'Oh, they are just precious aren't they?' one woman stated as she clutched her pearls speaking to her fellow bidders.

'Yes. Really are perfect.'

For the next thirty minutes, the vampires walked around and chatted. Some Littles already have multiple stickers on their playpen while some had none. It seems that this year the vampires are gravitating towards the boys rather than the girls.

Slowly, the chattering started to die down. Head after head moved towards the entrance and soft whispers started to fill the room as a group of men walked into the hall.

'Is that the prince?'

'That's him! Wasn't he in rehab?'

'What's he doing here?'

'I heard his old little isn't with him anymore.'

'Is he here for another one?'

'Is that even allowed?'

Soft chattering could be heard about the Prince's sudden appearance at the auction. He stood at the entrance with hands in his pockets, surrounded by his 6 guards.

He wore a buttoned-up blue shirt without a suit jacket. His hair was pushed back, revealing his gentle facial features. The fabric on his body brought out the kindness in his black eyes and the small smile on his face could make everyone feel at peace.

However, that did not stop the gossiping. Some tried to look around the room, avoiding the prince while others stared openly. Some women were questioning his presence while others fawned over his handsome demeanor.

He moved forward into the room, with the men creating a barrier between him and the crowd, giving him free space to walk. The vampires each bowed as he walked past them, which he acknowledged with a smile and a nod.

The room was dead silent until the men, previously on the stage came forward and greeted the prince with a big smile.

'Your highness! How wonderful, we weren't expecting you.' he said.

'Good afternoon, Mr. Elks.' Lincoln greeted as he shook the man's sweaty hands. 'Ben is expecting me. I called this morning to reserve a room.' he said.

Shane Elks's eyes widen at Lincoln's mention about booking a room. The rooms are often reserved for a special viewing of Littles where the human will be brought and left alone in the room with the vampire and they can stay as long as they want before they decide whether they would like to adopt or not. The company is very selective of who they allow to book the rooms because when one is reserved, the vampire is permitted to do whatever they want in order to bond with the little. And there were instances in the past where some of the humans were being forced into s****l encounters that they did not want and were left scarred.

So the CEO, Ben Dover, has decided to reserve this experience to only the most elite vampires.

It's very rare that vampires book a room because it is very expensive and it will go to waste if they don't end up taking the little.

'I see. Right this way.' he said and the group moved together towards the front of the room where a grand staircase was.

'Do you have anyone in mind?' Shane asked as they slowly made their way up the stairs. Everyone has since gone back to their conversations and spectating the Littles.

'I do not. However, Ben seems to have one. He told me to just wait and see. I'm very excited.' Lincoln said with a smile.  'I don't suppose you know who he may be talking about?'

'I don't think I do. All the new Littles we have gotten are downstairs at the auction. She or he must be from an old batch.'

Shane led them down a long hallway when they reached the top of the stairs and stopped at a black door at the end of it.

'Here we are. I will inform Ben that you have arrived.' the man unlocked the door and led the prince in, leaving his guards outside.

'Thanks, Shane.' Lincoln smiled and proceeded to take a seat on one of the leather sofas. The table had multiple types of drinks, alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Lincoln took a can of orange juice and opened it, taking a sip as he waited, leaning back on the sofa.

'Wake up, Abby.'

The room was dark with a small yellow nightlight at the corner. A baby mobile turned above the crib as a little girl curled up under the thick blanket, protecting her from the cold. Her hair was tied in little pigtails sprawling out on her small pillow. She looked very comfortable but Ben had to wake her up.

'Sweetie, you've got to get up. Come on.' he said and carried her body into his arms. Her head flopped down and rested on his shoulders, hoping to continue her slumber.

'I know you're sleepy. But there's someone here to see you.' Ben said and bent down to place Abby on the ground as he held her to stand on her own feet. Her eyes slowly opened to reveal pretty brown doe eyes. Ben gave her a reassuring smile and caressed her hair, trying to get her to wake up.

'Sleepy.' she whispered with a pout.

'No crying. This is your last chance to be adopted. You know what happens if you don't do well. You've been here too long.' Ben said, a little more sternly holding her by her shoulders.

'Please, no.' Abby whimpered. She knows what happens to Littles who don't get adopted after a year of being in the program. 

'I won't let that happen to you. You're special, remember? But you have got to work with me here.'

The girl tried her best to stop the tears from falling. She didn't want to leave this place. She had grown accustomed to the people here. She knows everyone and everyone knows her. And most importantly, everyone here is a human.

'I'm scared.'

'I know. But trust me. I've found the perfect daddy for you. He is gentle. He is kind.  And he'll never hurt you.' Ben hugged her tight.

'But I wanna stay here, Benny.'

'You can't. I've protected you for too long. The board practically already has a room at the blood bank with your name on it, Abby. And you know I don't want that to happen to you. Being adopted can protect you.'

His statement made her cry. The tears finally falling from her eyes. Ben sighed and held her to his chest. It broke his heart that she was finding this process so difficult. Most littles who are brought in came at their own choice. It was a choice that they made on their own and are always thrilled to be selected by a caregiver.

But Abby was different.

'Come on, now. He is waiting for you. Wipe those tears.' he said removing her arms around his neck and stood up turning around.

'Get her ready, will you.' Ben turned to the staff at the door who nodded and went to work.
