A/N Okay with the help of Alex Grimm, I now know what to write. I do not own Iron King, Julie Kawaga does.
Voice in my head: You know, I feel like having Ramen.
Me: O.o
Voice in my head: Don't ask.
Layla's p.o.v.
I cocked my head to the side, "No idea what you're talking about."
"Not even a little?" Claire inspected my face, looking for lies.
"Nope," Well, I just lied.
" Huh," Claire shrugged, and gave my arm a once over. "Does that hurt?"
"Of course it hurts, she was shot with an bloody arrow," Jane raised her eyebrow at Terric, he turned away, blushing.
I rolled my eyes, then recalled the fact that friend was a faery. "Jane! Why have you betrayed me like this? I thought you would tell me something as important as you being a not-so-mythological creature! And, the fact that you know Robin Goodfellow!"
Claire sighed, "Am I the only one who doesn't know who Puck is?"
Jane snickered, "Pretty much."
"Jane-" But before I could carry on yelling at her, the sound of a large tree snapping resonated through the clearing we were currently in. (At least I am assuming it's a clearing, I didn't pay attention) I heard Grimm above me hiss, scowling in the general direction of the noise. I slowly turned my head and, towering over our heads a 200 yards away, was a giant. I'm assuming it's a giant, because of the fact that I could see it 200 MILES AWAY! Jeez, sometimes I think I over- react, but no, then logic intercedes with my thinking, and it's all rainbows and Graveyards again.
The strangest thing about this giant is that freezing temperatures seemed to roll off its body, radiating over the long distance to our group.
I heard Terric cuss, and I was surprised to see him talking. "It's a giant from the Unseelie Court." He said, my eyes widened, and I repeated the swear he said.
"Well, I at least know that giants are bad," Claire's voice broke our silence.
Puck stood up and stretched, "Well we should get moving before it sees us, and of course, tells Mab, who sends knights to kill us. All because Jane once kidnapped one of her red-caps and held it for ransom."
Jane blushed angrily, "I was ten! In human years!"
Terric stared blankly off into space, as if remembering something, uh, I can't quite tell what this guy is thinking so… Maybe it was love, then Puck laughed, "Hey Terric, do you remember you were the one who had to stop from killing it? Oh, and the fact that she beat you up?"I blinked, totally not something romantic.
The air went frigid, making my bones lock up, I scanned my group to see if they noticed. But, the three faery that were actually useful were walking down memory lane. I noticed that Claire also noticed, and was now holding her, as if she was saying, Just kill me now. I glanced up to find the catit sith no longer there.
"You guys?" I whispered, they didn't seem to hear me. I twitched and evaluated the chances of me being able to stand. I nodded to myself, maybe my clumsy attitude wouldn't show. I scrambled to my feet, nausea enveloping me, I shook my head, clearing it out. I wobbled over to them , feeling like a drunkard, and I faintly heard Claire suck in a breath. She took a few steps toward me, as if to help me out, but I put a finger to my lips. She bit her lip, standing still, meanwhile the other three were getting louder and louder.
I shivered, and finally made it over to them, it's a wonder that with all his seemingly good abilities with fighting and such, Terric was not noticing the giant standing right over them.
Before I get to them I feel like I should explain the appearance of the giant. Well, first off, it was grinning like the Joker when he thinks he's going to win. His eyes were wide with madness, and I briefly wondered why. Moving on, he had a few scraggly hairs on his head that looked as if they were about to fall off, but, I guess, with the fact that he was bigger than me, they were the size of ropes. It had a nose and a body, in others words, everything else just looked like an oversized man.
Getting back to me slowly making my way to the 3 fey, I grabbed Puck's head and turned it upwards, him being the closest to me. He removed my hand from his head and winked at me, "Oh, no!" He called, "A giant!"
"Did you know he was here?" I smacked my head causing myself to fall over (Gravity hates me) , but, Puck, caught my hand and yanked me back up.
"Whoa there, Bipolar," He patted my head.
I glowered at him, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"Puck, "Jane's voice was on a threatening level. "May I ask what is currently hovering over us?"
"A giant's head," He pulled his daggers out of his boots. "Ready to fight with us again?"
Jane growled and turned her head to Terric, "And you?"
Terric shrugged.
I turned towards Claire and gave her a can-you-believe-them face, only to find Claire not there. (Hee hee, that rhymes. Get it Claire there? Oh, I crack myself up. Oh, a glowing butterfly!)
Behind I felt a whoosh of air breeze across my back as the giant slammed his hand down shaking the ground and sending me tumbling to the ground. I tried to block a screech that inevitably escaped my mouth when my shoulder was broken, how am I even still alive with a wound like this?
Bwah, with the way he is acting, I'm naming this giant Chuck.
A/N Woo! 984 words not including the ones in the author's note in the beginning. Again, thank you Alex Grimm for giving me ideas on what to write about. Until next time, Bye-bye!
