What a simple act it had been that caused Harmony Pleasant such trouble. He had only gone to the less used shipping docks as a request for one of his brother-in-laws as that was where the herb grew in plenty. Had he actually remebered to head the warnings he had so often been told, he may have saved himself from such dangers as being shipped of to Jeskara and done who knew what to.
Harmony was utterly terrifed. He stayed as far back the the cage he had been placed in as he could trying to hide from the hungry stares of the Jeskarans around him. He had done nothing wrong, did he really deserve such a cruel destiny?
Suddenly, the ship he was on came to a stop and Harmony, a long with others, were pulled off the ship and carted to a stage in the middle of a forest. Harmony's maroon eyes grew wide in horror. He was going to be auctioned off!

Nero lifted one perfectly arched brow at the fat, pig of a man before him. The auctioneer was an odious man and not the sort of person the vampire generally fraternized with. However, said man was stupid as he was ugly and Nero could always make an easy deal of the fellow.
"When you told me you had livestock, I had no idea you meant this Burton." Nero voice was cold perfection, lilting with an aristocratic air as he toured the stage covered in cages before the general crowd of auctioneers arrived. At least Burton was of use in this.
The disgusting little man tittered on about something, ringing his hands, but Nero ignored him, as his eyes scanned the cages, looking for the "beasts" he would mostly likely bid on come the start of the auction.

Harmony whined in his cage. Not only was he scared but he was bored. He wished that whatever terrors were to come to him would hurry up. There were better things he could be doing then sitting in a cage. Did they not think he had a life. No, of course they didn't.
Harmony sighed and crawled to the other side of his small cage then back again as to have something to do.

"Stop tha'" Burton drawled harshly as he suddenly kicked the cage that Harmony was mulling around in. "Damn things. I canna get a moments peace."
Nero's expression didn't change, but he was inwardly shocked. He wasn't fond of cruelty, manipulation, yes, but not cruelty. Very casually, he stepped in front of the small male's cage, his well defined back blocking the boy from Burton's beady eyes.
"Well then Burton." Nero crossed his arms, "Am I to get...ah, compensated for last months take?" Burton nodded. He'd let Nero take his pick.

Harmony frowned when he was yelled at. If he was going to be tortured or what not was he not allowed to entertain himself until then. It wasn't fair. When the other guy that was talking to the guy that yelled at him came to stand in front of his cage, Harmony stared up at him in awe. The man was fairly pretty unlike the others he'd seen on the ship.

Nero pointed out the caged slaves with an elegant hand, motioning to each that took his fancy. On a whim, he pointed behind him. "I will also have that one." He said smoothly to Burton. "I wish took partake of his flesh now. Will you oblige me?"
Burton nodded. "Buyer's choice." He said as he went to unlock Harmonies cage. He reached in and took the boy's arm in an unbreakable grip to drag him out of the cage. "You can come fer this 'un an all the others after the action." Burton rasped.

Harmony growled at the man that grapped him out of the cage too afraid to use words for protest. He didn't appreciate the man handling. And he didn't appreciate being chosen by the other man either. Looking sideways at the prettier of the two, he pouted and poked at his arm nervously.

Nero grinned seductively at the boy, fangs sharpening. Cute little thing. And that dark hair reminded him of blood. Nero readily accepted the boy when Burton handed him over.
"Don't move." He commanded the youngling. He slipped one hand behind the boy's back while the other went to title his neck to just the right angle. Nero held him tightly as he laved his tongue roughly against the pale neck to deaden the skin before piercing his fangs into the boy's soft flesh to suck deeply of his fluids.

Harmony's eyes went wide at the seductive look the man he was handed to gave him. He scrunched his eyes closed when he felt the man's tongue licking his neck wondering if he was going to be eaten then gasped at the feel of fangs piercing his neck.
He was right, he was going to get eaten and he had just got here. Harmony's fist clenched onto the clothes of the one feeding on him in retalliation of being dead before he could even see the land he was brought onto. He didn't want to die, he wasn't even an adult yet.

Nero lapped at the boy's intoxicating blood, groaning at the sweet, sweet taste. Never before had he had something so delicious. Those thin hands curling into his shirt made him aroused and he loved it when his food made that happen. Later, he'd take the boy hope and properly...attend to him.
For now though, Nero drew back, licking the bite wound gently to collect the last drops of blood with a chuckle. "You will not die this night." He murmured to the boy with a deep chuckle, eyes glowing a faint red. Nero pressed a soft kiss to the teen's mouth, slicking blood against those full lips.

Harmony quickly pushed himself away from his biter and touched his lips embarrassed. When he saw blood come away from them, he made a face and stuck out his tongue, "Gross."

Nero just chuckled in his refined way. "If I see that tongue again, I may bite it off." He half teased, nipping at the boy's lower lip. "Better get used to it boy." He added, before pushing the teen back into his cage where Burton promptly locked it.
"Make sure the ones I've chosen are here when I get back." Nero told Burton, no hint of that teasing warmth of only moment ago. "Until later." He nodded to the auctioneer as he stalked off, glancing at the caged teen before he did so completely. The auction was about to begin.

Harmony shivered slightly at the threat of having his tongue bitten off. He glowered when pushed back into this cage and crossed his arms in defiance, little anger clouds almost floating around his head. He didn't like being treated roughly like a thing with no sould. At least at home he was treated like a thing that was silly a precious. Couldn't someone treat him a like a person for once?
Harmony sighed and decided to lay in the cage as much as possible, fallowing his biter with his eyes lazily.

Nero weaved in and out of the crowds of gathering people. His blue eyes darted to that lovely boy's cage often as he thought of their kiss and watched each item being bid on. It was a very intense night, all of Burton's wares going for higher and higher prices. Nero was sure that the man would leave his earlier choosing alone, but he was wrong.
Whether Burton was as stupid as he looked or simply just loved money more than his life was unclear as the man went to grab Harmony a second time and pulled him from the cage. The trader snapped a collar and chain to the boy's throat and dragged him roughly to center stage where the crowd worked itself into a froth.
Nero bared his fangs at the sight, seething with anger.

Harmony eeped when he was pulled from his cage and struggled trying to get away from the collar and chain putting put around his neck. His eyes went wide when he was brought on the stage, trembling slightly at the sight of the hostile natives. Hadn't he already been bought? Wasn't that guy who bit him his buyer, or had he heard wrong. If he had to belong to somebody, he rather they were pretty like his biter.
