The Stripper Slave

I was taken and placed in a van where suddenly I had the reality of a slave. Just like these other girls. What has the Moon Goddess come to that she would be so evil. I know I deserve this but to be treated like Scum. That made her so damn cruel. The drive felt like forever. I was sweating to the point I stripped my clothes. Just like all of the women here. I knew they blamed me, from the stares that were giving to me. We were at the bottom of the food chain. And for the next few months, it was proven exactly just that. When the van stopped moving. We were all linked chained together. It was morning by the time we got there and when the warriors had opened the doors they grabbed a girl in front of me and it yanked us all out. We were nude, sweaty, hungry, and tired. They kept pulling and we were humiliated as everyone had watched us being dragged. But there was one pair of eyes that I knew. Vincent was there and he stared at me with so much sadness and regret. He was helpless at this moment. Our eyes never left until his mouth started moving. He mouthed. “I will see you soon. I love you.” And that was exactly what I needed to hold on to. I needed to be strong because we were going to get out of this. We were going to beat this. We needed a little hope. One of the guards had yanked our chains roughly and I came crashing to the ground. Once again humiliated while everyone stared and even those laughed at me. I mean why wouldn’t they laugh at the girl that made everyone pawns to the Goddess. We were taken to this place that looked like dorm rooms. It wasn’t all too bad. But we had a tiny room to ourselves and we had a bathroom we all shared. Exactly like the dorms. If I didn’t know any better, this was a whore house. I guess I will be the perfect little stripper.

For the next week, we hadn’t seen daylight as clothing was handed to us that was skimpy. Our food was very little but we made do. I didn’t complain as much as I wanted to. I wanted to cry and just give it all up. I was really missing Ryn more than anything. I wish I was able to call them but I knew that it would make things harder. We should’ve left with them but I know I had this guilt inside of me that got people into this mess. I wanted to end it all. To get back to the way things were. The hold in the wall determined that the sun was going down. Clinking could be heard as the door opened to my room. “You’re working tonight. You have 5 minutes before we leave.” A guard had said. He was the nicest one of them all. He was chosen and not one of those mutant ones she has. I quickly gathered my bag and plopped some makeup on. Walking into the halls I was joined with the other girls as we were led out to the outside. It was so great to finally get someone fresh air. It was one of the best things after smelling nothing but dirt. When we got to the club it was full of people and we had been told to go to the back and find the dancing roster. I was not on the list which was weird. “Excuse me, my name is not on the list.” I got the attention of a guard. He pulled out his phone and quickly looked. “You’re in the VIP. One of the humans has requested you.” I looked at him curiously. Since when were humans allowed here. He pointed in the direction of upstairs. I quickly went to the locker room and dressed in some lace clothing. It’s been a long time since I’ve had to do something like this. I walked my way upstairs and made it into VIP. it was busy and dark. I looked at the room roster and saw I was in room 4. But when I got into it there wasn’t anyone in there. That was weird. It was just music and the pole. I waited a few minutes and it was still empty. I took this time to get some practice in. I went to the music playlist and put on one of my favorite songs.

Taking a walk towards the pole I slowly started spinning around it to get a feel for it. Soaking in my new reality. Cupping the pole with my hand and my ankle wrapped around it at the same time and slowly allowing myself to spin around it. But it came back to me like I never left the job. I bent down and ran my hands on my stretched leg and made my way up. I grab the pole and jumped up and wrapped my legs around the pole and made my way around it. Landing on the ground and dropping to my hands and knees with my back arched up. I crawled like I would be if someone was sitting on the couch. Completely zoned out from the world just like old times. But when I got there I felt a hand on my chin that raised me up. It caused me to look up and see a familiar set of eyes that made my heart sink into my stomach. He lifted me up and pulled me to his lap that I was now straddling. I felt my stomach just sink and my eyes burn when the tears wanted to burst out. How am I ever going to let go after this? What if this was the last time that I would ever see them too? His arm wrapped around my waist and his other grabbed the back of my neck that made me lean down. His lips entrapped me in a long and passionate kiss that made chills appear all over my body. It met my neck allowing a moan to escape my mouth. How was I ever going to let go? I am used to this but not when I was purposely being humiliated. He sat there and just held me with our foreheads against each other. And it was all coming down. It was just a moment of affection that was needed in one of my darkest moments. “I love you,” I said finally after a long time of silence. “You shouldn’t be here, it’s dangerous for us.” He nodded against me. “I know. But I can’t stay away from you Athena. I can’t stay back and watch this happen to you for trying to do the right thing. I love you and letting you go was the hardest thing that I’ve ever had to do.” He was right. Watching him leave and never return didn’t sit so well with me. “We’re going to get out of this okay? This is not how things are going to be. I found a witch who was able to mask me as just a human. But just know that I am fighting for you.” Now a pang of guilt started to eat me up at the same time. “Jack, please. You need to go back and take care of Ryn. She can’t lose both her parents. Please?” Because when things get bad, they get worse.
