The man had raised the total to 5.4 Million....Natasha rubbed her mother's shoulder gently and spoke softly.<br/>"I don't expect you to pay me back for this next raise."  She smiled at Juliette before calling out in a clear voice.  "TEN MILLION!"  Natasha knew it was going to cause a few reactions amongst the crowd, Davis, his bidder and even Juliette...though Natasha was going to be analysing the responses from Davis and his bidder to judge how long it would take for her to out bid them completely.  It was possible she had already done more than enough, but she wouldn't know for certain until the next bid.  From the stand, Tabitha winced slightly at the tremendous amount of money that was being thrown away just to purchase a thief like her...and she had been quite bitchy with Natasha when the woman had shrunk her.  Tabitha found herself becoming more panicky as she looked around at her glass prison, hoping desperately for escape.<br/><br/>Karia struggled to breathe as suddenly everything squeezed tightly around her, pressing the semi digested hot dog across her tiny body, smothering her skin in the clammy substance as it clung to her naked flesh and stuck in her hair.  Karia found herself getting ill again as everything squeezed and relaxed, jostling her and the food around until eventually she broke free from the main body of food and flew straight upwards with her telekinesis, not realising that it was the perfect timing for her escape as a warm gust of air helped carry her up the long vertical shaft of Juliette's throat and she seen a brief light as her mother's lips opened with the sound of a rumbling burp but were quickly covered by a few fingers followed by the brief words of 'excuse me.'  Karia wasn't sure what to do just now...she was in her mum's mouth again, but Juliette's lips seemed firmly sealed shut...and if she knew Karia had managed to get out of her stomach, the shrunken girl might just get swallowed again.  Karia took a breath and opted for the safe option, slinking down behind a couple of Juliette's teeth near the back of her mouth and sitting amidst the small pool of saliva that had gathered there.  If she waited there until night time then she could escape and search for the gun, but then...what if her mum already knew she escaped from the dark depths of her stomach?  Maybe she would figure that Karia was waiting for such an opportunity to escape and would either swallow her again, or just take her out when they got home and punish her further, Karia shivered lightly at the thought...she'd already been quite mean to her mother when she was tiny despite her original intentions, but did her mum feel the same way about her...Karia was beginning to wonder if her mother would still make sure to care for the tiny girl or if Karia had become a mere object for her mother to toy with.
