Enthralled

It was the biggest day of my life.  I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their first child. My situation was a little different.  Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold.  Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell.  He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end.  I was his tool and his weapon.  And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.
