Caged Property by Athena Storm

My family and I fled the Reapers.
We were caught.
My family is dead.
And I’m a trophy.
At first I was frantic to get free.
I’ve heard the stories of these monsters.
They pillage and plunder.
They kill everyone who opposes them.
And eat their victims.
But then, in that crowded pen.
In the midst of my fear.
I saw him. Llyron.
And my fear began to flee.
I was fascinated by the patterns on his skin.
I wanted to examine his eyes.
If I could look at him and not be threatened by his fury, I think I would enjoy it.
I’m still terrified.
But only because I can’t guess at what he wants me for.
I’ve never had any experiences.
I’m not that kind of girl.
Except now I’m a toy.
A part of me loves it.
It’s like a pressure.
Begging to be released.
It’s an ache.
An itch that I haven’t yet reached.
And that’s when I realize.
This sick and twisted union is perfect for me.
We…are…perfect. For each other.
