Zena.....
''Oh, come on!'' I yelled.
I stared at the piece of paper in front of me. The assignment is due tomorrow and as always, I wait till the last-minute to do my homework.
''Shit!''
''Ugh, someone shoot me now.'' Maybe if I use my magical powers, I can make the pen move against the paper and voila, homework is done.
Yeah right, I wish.
I heard a knock on my door. ''Come in!" I said while texting Jessica if I could come over. I needed time away from my homework that I hadn't even started yet.
''Zena dear, your father and mother ask if you would appreciate having dinner with them.''
I looked up from my phone and saw Maggie waiting for my response. Maggie was my nanny, no scratch that. Maggie is basically my everything, she's the one who raised me. Father and mother were always too busy working. I mean, don't get me wrong. Mom and dad are cool, whatever I ask for, I get! But sometimes, I just want to spend time with them but they're always in some business meeting or they're traveling. So it has always been Mag and me.
Smiling at her, ''Sure, I'll be down in a bit.'' I grabbed my phone and stood up, Mag was looking around in my room. ''Is everything ok?'' I asked.
She shakes her head slowly. ''I just love how picky you are, does this make you happy Zena?" she asked me as she pointed around.
''I'm a teenager Mag, of course, I love this lavish life that my parents give me but sometimes I think it's not worth it if I don't see them."
''Let's go dear, they're waiting downstairs."
I followed her out, grabbing her hand and placing my head on her shoulder as we walked down the stairs. Mag was always there for me, day or night. She would be the one that I would run to. I'd tell her everything and anything, I would complain about my parents but she would always tell me that it's not their fault. That if it wasn't for their effort, I wouldn't have gotten the finest things in life.
We reached the dining room and I see dad and mom talking to each other. Dad looks at us and smiles, ''Zena, baby, why are you locking yourself in your room, is there something wrong?''
I walk up to dad and give him a hug. Last time I saw him was last month. ''No dad, nothing is wrong. I was just doing my homework. Hi mom!'' I said placing a kiss on her cheek.
''Hello sweetheart, how is school? Have you planned on what college you want to attend yet?" She said sipping her wine.
Dad was cool but mom was a bit picky about everything I do. From the clothes, I wear to the friends I have. I sat down beside dad and gave him a look for help.
''Claire, leave the girl alone. She still has a year of high school before she starts college. She may want something now but can change her choice easily. Let her think it through, stop pressuring her." Dad said while sending a small smile towards me.
I mouthed a thank you. Mag came in with the dinner and placed it down on the table. She took her seat beside me. We ate and made a few small conversations here and there. My phone vibrated and it was Jessica calling. I answered my phone, ''hey, what's up!" I said while stuffing my mouth with mashed potatoes. ''Hey, wanna go to the party that Zoey is going to?'' She's said waiting for a response.
''Sure, I'll come over and study. I sure can use the help, let me ask dad and mom if I can come over." I said looking at mom, waiting for her to answer me.
''Yes! But be home quickly, we're leaving in the morning. I want to spend time with you."
Feeling kinda bad but I just didn't want to go back to my room and start my damn homework.''Yea I'll come by, See you in a bit!" I said shutting the phone.
I kiss dad and mom before going up to my room. I was already dressed in black tight ripped jeans, all I had to do was wear a cute top. I was about to wear a laced pink shirt but thought mom would question me. So, I just grabbed my normal white tank top that said: 'Can't even'', on it.
Grabbing my books, as if I'm actually going to study, I walked down the stairs again. Mag was waiting for me in front of the door with my keys in her hands. ''Please have your phone on at all time's, don't stay out too long. And if it's after eleven, sleep over at Jessica's house, I don't like where that girl lives, It's in the middle of nowhere.''
Hugging Mag and placing a kiss on her cheek.''You worry too much, see you soon.''
I walked to my car. Stepping in and bringing my Range Rover to life. I drove out of the driveway, heading to Jessica's place. She did live in the middle of nowhere. It was far from my house. Her parents weren't as wealthy as mine. I envied her life, her parents were always around. Giving her everything she wanted and more, she was an only child. We had a lot of things in common, Jessica was my true best friend that didn't care about how rich my parents were. She saw through me and understood me, she felt my pain and stayed when all my other friends just wanted to use me for my money. But not Jessica, she didn't care. Maybe she felt how I felt, She was always being used and abused in school, just because she was the class geek. She wore big round glasses and hippie clothes, but underneath all that was a sexy mama hiding. I knew that for a fact, she just didn't like showing off.
Reaching her house, I saw her sitting on the steps, waiting. She walks up to me and opens the door, I turn off my car. ''Hey, what the heck! Zoey is waiting for us at the party, she said it's lit and so many hot guys are there.''
I get out of the car and close the door. ''Omg, Zena! You're not actually thinking about studying.''
I laugh and shake my head. ''I don't want anyone spotting my car as we go. Someone might see us and I would have to answer Meg about lying. We're taking your car." I stated.
''But! But, my car is shitty and always breaks down. I don't want to take it, it's embarrassing.'' She said whining.
''Please Jess, I got a tracker on my car. Mom and dad will know that I lied, then I'll never hear the end of it. Let's go before Zoey gets mad.''
She rolled her eyes and opens her car, we get in and she starts the car.
''Where's your dad and mom, '' I asked.
''They went out for dinner. I didn't want to crowd their space, they haven't been on a date for a long time. All they do is work and care for me. So I told them to go out and enjoy themselves and that I'll be over at your house.''
''We're so bad, '' I said laughing. ''Wait, what if you're parents come home early and see my car here, then what?''
She looked at me, as she thought really hard, ''You can park your car down there, behind the bushes. It's near my house and no one will spot it."
I get out and drive my car into the bushes that were behind Jessica's home. Getting out of the car and looking back, you actually couldn't see it from far away. Only if you come near it. I felt raindrops falling on my head, falling from the sky, so I ran to Jess' car as fast as I could. Hopping in, ''let's go before it starts to rain hard." I said buckling my seat belt.
She drives off and the rain starts to pour down even harder. Minutes of driving, her car starts to make a weird noise. ''Oh shit, no no no, not here, please'', and the car stops automatically.
''See, I told you'', she said while banging on a wheel of the car.
''What a shitty car you got Jessica, now it looks like we have to walk, in the fucking rain." She pushed her glasses up. ''Sorry, hey my house is like ten minutes away. We can make it if we run fast." We got out and started to run as fast as we could.
''Slow...down...need air...Zena, Zena'', she said out of breath. ''Zena there's a car following us." She suddenly said while panicking.
''Don't look at it, just walk!'' I said as the black car passes us.
''See, it left." But she didn't reply. I turned to face her and my blood ran cold.
''Make any move and I'll kill your friend and you right here and now." The man said holding a gun to Jessica's head.
Tears were falling down her face. A white van pulls up and the side door swung open. A man came to look, ''hello!" He said making my heart jump of fear.
>
> The passenger door opens and a tall man comes out. I move away but the guy holding Jessica spoke: ''Move or scream and I'll kill her.''
The man comes from behind me and grabs me by my neck. I tried to fight him off, but he was bigger and stronger than me. I felt stinging on my neck.
''You two will have to do.'' I felt dizzy, the last thing I heard was, ''Sweet dreams!" And I blacked out.

Sergio...
''This better be good Nick.''
''Darren said, he has a new shipment of girls coming his way, he wanted to know if you'll be at the auction later on, '' Nick stated.
''Tell him I don't want any marks on the girls. They won't be any good for my customers if they're beaten up, I'll drop by to buy a couple before heading to Moscow. Federico is making a scene there and father isn't too pleased.'' I stated as I looked over to Zeus who was beaten badly.
''Okay sir, I'll let him know you'll stop by, " Nick said.
I ended the call and picked up my gun to finish what I started. ''You know, I thought you were smart but you're not. You've dared to rant me out to the cops. You thought I wouldn't know, I know you ever move Zeus. I let you become one my trusted men but you betrayed me. Where are your cop friends to protect you know, huh?''
''Sir, please! I..I didn't...it wasn't me.'' I circled around him. He was already a mess but he wasn't dead. I faced him as I sat in the chair. ''Just because we shared some good times together, I'll let you die easily. I won't forget the good times we had Zeus, goodbye old friend.'' I pulled the trigger right between his eyes and ended his life.
''Boss, you gave him an easy death." One of my men said.
I ignored him, ''dump his body near the police station. I have to get ready.'' I walked out the room and headed down the hall into my office. Bishop was waiting for me. ''Is he dead?" He asked.
''Yes!'' I said taking off my shirt that was filled with blood, I took another dress shirt and put it on.
''I thought he was loyal, how could he have thought to go against you, " Bishop said while shaking his head.
''He's dead and there's no use for questioning what and why he did it. Make sure his family is taken care of, he still was family. I don't know who played with his mind but I will find out.''
Heading out the office, I spot my men carrying Zeus' body. I wanted to tell them to send him to his family but that would show weakness.
Bishop came from behind and kneeled down. ''Why my friend, weren't we family?" He said hurt, I placed a hand on his shoulder. ''Bishop let's go, we have an auction to attend and a flight to catch.''
Walking past my men, I saw that they were in pain and shock. Zeus was one of my trusted men, he was like a brother to me but I guess he didn't feel the same way. Walking to the car and getting in. I waited until Bishop came, the driver starts the car and we head off.
~~~
Zena...
My body felt numb, I could hear men talking but was scared to open my eyes. ''Is she dead?" A man said. ''Yea, she took her own life." Another said.
I could hear girls crying, slowly opening my eyes.
Three men were standing, surrounding someone.
''Anybody else who wants to take their own life?" One of the men said turning around facing me. But then I realized, I wasn't the only one here, the room was filled with girls. I looked to my left and saw Jessica sleeping on my shoulder. Sighing in relief, I looked down at the girl who was sleeping on my lap.
''Why are we here?" I dared to ask. All eyes were on me, the men turn to face me as the scene unfolds before me. A girl, in the far right corner, was bleeding, she had slit her own throat.
I felt like gagging, the man bends down and moves the hair that covered my face. ''You're here to be auctioned off to men, powerful men that everyone fears. Do what they say and they'll spare you the pain, but if you fight them... Then they'll only hurt you until you're broken, so I advise you to give in." He said.
Tears ran down my cheeks when I heard sobbing.
Every girl was crying in the room.
