[Belle]

Red isn't my color, nor is the makeup on my face my style, but then again, I don't have choice how I look tonight. I'm just an object that's been pruned into perfection for the day. A pet, like so many others that have the privilege- Akillies words not mine- to participate in such an honorary event.

The Pet & Slave Convention

I'm still trying to figure out, what demon had the audacity to come up with such a plan name. Hell, I could've done better than that. Tugging on the dress, that I find to thin and revealing for my liking, I look around the van spotting the pets and slaves that we're picked for this year's convention.

There's about twenty of us squished together in the small van while, Leon and another one of Akillies henchmen, sit in the front driving our soiree of sweaty individuals to the destination. If anything, this event has more to do with demons showing off their pets then, them buying new ones. But I could be wrong, those orange eyed, greed demons while probably buy extra, just because.

I rub the black collar placed around my throat. We're all wearing the latest technology collars that Akillies bought for such an event. I think it has to do to what happened to his merchandise last year when they had the convention, in New Tokyo, I heard it ended with half of his pets murdered. 

The van stops, and the other lower demon, Franki, steps out. After a few minutes he comes back and exchange words with Leon in another language. Leon nods, then gets out the van. I hear the crunching of gravel, before the vans back door is pulled open, and Leon stands there with a clip board in his hands.

"When I call your name line up. One side male, the other female." Leon said gruffly.

We don't say anything, and the lower demon begins to call out our names. After we're all out, the two lower demons lead us behind the building, toward a back door. Once inside, where taken to a backroom. On the other side of the wall, I could her classical music playing in the background as well as chatter from the demons on the other side.

"When you go in you will line up against the wall." Leon said, giving us instructions. "The room is dimly lit, so stick together."

And with that we're lead through the door to the dimly lit room to our fates.
