Dark Fate

Andrew knew she was embarrassed. "It'd beat being frozen to death." He admitted, looking at the stone floor. "And it's to keep limited - touch with the stone cold floor." He decided to come out.

He knew cuddling would be something they would need to do because they haven't had any warmth or a bed. Or any conveniences. They hadn't even eaten since being caught. He wasn't expecting any food or water from any guard. They were too heartless too. He hadn't even had a single piece of granola or a piece of fruit. "Did they remove everything from you? Like food?" He asked cursing himself for not being prepared. Maybe they should have stayed in the palace.

Andrew nodded. "They don't like any human armed because guns mean power."

He took a look at the fruit slices in the bag. It was just enough for two days. Given how much each would need to eat. He couldn't eat all of them. "I say we ration out this fruit...for the both of us." He suggested. "If they don't give us warm food or warm drinks, we'll be worse off than before." He finally admitted, getting closer to envelop her. He was much warmer and it spread to her. "If we don't ration these out, we don't know how long they intend to keep us here."

He gave her the fruit slices to hide from sight.

"Yes they do." Andrew agreed. "Humans don't deserve to be serving these apes. They're all the same species. I don't understand why they couldn't just treat us as equals." He shook his head. "They treat us like we're ignorant and arrogant creatures. If we were all raised ape, we'd know ape. If they were all human, they'd know what we know. But they choose to remain ignorant and thickheaded. They brainwash humans into believing they're needing to be their pets and so forth. You want to protect humans, don't treat them as mindless or brainless parasites."

Andrew ate a few pieces of fruit. "It doesn't seem that long. I wonder what they are intending to do with us since we're renegades."

Andrew hugged Aurora even as the door opened. He was forced to his feet and groaned. Then realized, "No! Aurora!" He reached out even as he was pulled out of the cell and was pulled harshly along. He gurgled, as the noose was tight around his nape. It was choking him from the harshness.

All he knew was was he was going to choke to death if the guard didn't loosen it. He was practically uncertain where they were taking them. It couldn't be good. At all.

Cobra strolls in, pondering why the next item was lingering more than ever. The one on the stand, bound to a pole wasn't over quite yet. He pauses after leaving the auction room for a bit. Right in the entrance to the room, he spots two apes with two humans.

He scurries over, smacking the one that had Andrew across the head. "What are you two morons waiting for?! Your lengthening time when we have a strict order and schedule! Now get that blonde rat out there now!" He orders. "You don't then I will." his voice caused crawling chills up the patrol's spine.

"These two are hugging and being close. I really think they're a mating pair," he mentions, slightly cowering.

Cobra glares over, darkly smiling. "Oh, how sweet," he whispers sarcastically, ripping the pole away. "THey're going separate." he snarls, roughly hauling him out. "Don't drag on!"

"Cobra!" One call over gripping Andrew's restraining pole. "He just admitted to being paired with her!" He desperately informs, with a heavy gulp. Sweat excreted from his pores, very anxious.

A deadly scowl shots at the patrol. "How dare you," he snarls, grasping the pole, and hauled it roughly. "Reports say separate, that's how we're going to follow." His curled fist bashed the gorilla in the jaw. "You're going for these humans?! They're Renegades, lower than fugitives."

The gorilla fell back into the wall, bringing a palm over his fresh wound. He adjusted his jaw, glaring down at him. "Ack. Whatever." He drew back. "Just trying to...ugh." he walks off.

Cobra glares over at the patrol with Aurora. "They might have a playdate," he snorts coldly, roughly dragging Andrew out.

"Enough!, Or I'll muzzle you," he threatens, drawing him to the auction stand, even binding him to a bar. "Just think of it, Renegade, you can find a new mate. WHy keep the same?" he viciously chuckled.

"Apes! Just like the previous sale, this is a male Renegade! Green eyes, and mixed blonde." He calls out, walking out. "Now, this one contains the collar from the century-old king, Ragnor! Now, this collar is one of the top pets he had." H

He circles around. "Let's start, let's say at five hundred!"
