Author's note: The pair finally meet! Tell me your thoughts! Also, I'll be taking a little break, but feel free to leave a review or follow it. I'll be updating it, once a week. Probably this Saturday!
Jack feared for his life. His palms were immensely sweaty. He was held gently in the grasp on a blue-eyed, blonde girl. She was grinning from ear to ear and jack just looked on into her Artic colored irises. He opened his mouth to speak up, but the words wouldn't come out. His mouth was clammed shut. It wouldn't budge out of fear.
The giant girl raised her eyebrow with a smug smile. She brushed her ash blonde colored hair out of her eye to get a better look at Jack. She lifted his arm and brushed his hair back gently with a finger. Jack had to say something. Anything to get her to put him down.
"Please don't eat me!" Jack squealed. He was staring away from her the entire time. She wasn't something that was hard to look at, but her giant size scared him half to death. The girl looked perplexed and looked from side to side. She pointed a finger towards her self as to ask, "me"? Jack nodded.
The giant girl frowned but decided to play a joke on the poor human. She licked her lips, noticing Jack's fear growing. Then she burst into a fit of laughter. Jack felt embarrassed that a little girl was getting one over on him. How could he retaliate against something of her size and stature? Knowing the kids back home, she'd probably squish him if he made her mad in some way.
"Are all of you humans this frightful?" The girl asked as she raised jack to her face with a cheerful smile. Jack still couldn't speak but nodded his head. He had to get the words out. He had to tell her to set him free to go explore. He tried to shake free, but with the girl's playful mentality; she just tightened her grip on him.
He took a deep breath and finally mustered the courage to speak.
"Mind setting me down, kid?" He asked as he looked into her eyes. Perhaps she would show him pity. If that was even a thing in the giant's land. The girl pouted and puffed up her rosy red cheeks.
"Why should I?" The girl asked with a frown on her face. Jack knew it wouldn't be this easy. Dealing with children was never this easy. They were always so demanding, so entitled, so bossy.
"I...uh...I have a job to do. I need to explore the land!" Jack responded. The girl looked surprised and proposed a question.
"Explore the land? What for?" The girl retorted. Jack felt like he was being interrogated or on trial for a crime, he didn't commit. Why couldn't this child just take the darn bait?! Jack decided to put his silver tongue to use.
"I wanted to see what all the buzz was about? I heard…." He paused to carefully choose his words, "That there was a mystical treasure cove around here." Jack smiled with as much confidence as he could muster. The girl didn't seem too impressed.
"You believe that too?" The girl asked. Her tone was equivalent to another child telling her that Santa Claus was real. She sounded a bit snarky and prideful. It pissed jack off, just a little. Jack nodded.
"I heard some stories of it being real. Never went to check it out though." The girl rambled on and pulled out something from the inside of her coat. Jack squinted his eyes. What was it? A bottle? The girl began to pull off the cork. It slid off with a *pop*.
No. Dear god, Please no! Jack's thoughts were in disarray. He didn't want to be some pet of a giant brat. He had to explore.
"Wait a minute kid, Can't we talk about this?" Jack questioned her obscene methods. He was about to be caged like a wild animal. Treated no less than a pig ready to be slaughtered.
"Talk? What for? There's nothing to talk about." She denied his proposal, "I found you and therefore you're mine!" She put a major emphasis on the word, "mine". Jack knew one thing. He didn't belong to anyone but himself. He tried to struggle as the girl lifted him up but to no avail. Her grip on him was tight. An iron vice so to speak.
His body slid easily into the bottle, and he fell onto his butt with a thud. He rubbed his buttocks to soothe the pain and felt the girl's smug smile rain upon him. She could probably win a competition for the biggest smug looking faces. It made her appear arrogant.
"Hmmm." She giggled as she stared at his tiny form in the body, "You're actually kind of adorable. So small! A man, but so itty bitty. A 'little man'." Jack couldn't believe it. All his time, sweat, and effort was about to go up in flames. All because of one arrogant, possessive, little brat who couldn't keep her hands to herself.
"I'm telling you!" Jack pleaded with her. The tears were almost about to come, but he fought hard to keep them away, "I'm not supposed to be caged in here! Set me free! I demand it!" The girl shook her head and her expression grew cold.
"You're MY human now." She commanded with a tone of voice that could match the guards back at home. She stomped her foot down as she said it to emphasize her point. She held power over jack. He couldn't do anything so long as he was inside this bottle. Jack felt his entire body shake inside the bottle when she stomped. He feared for his life. The girl looked away.
"Besides I can't let you stay here. Not alone!" She muttered the last part under her breath. Jack heard her. He had to ask her.
"Why not?" He asked with a sincere look. The girl turned back at him with a frown on her face. She shook her head.
"I just...can't!" She said as she gripped the bottle tighter. She looked onward to the mountains on the other side and lightning spark from the top. Stormy clouds and rain gathered near the peak.
"Imna, sweetie, we're going now!" A voice called out. Jack assumed it was the girl's caretaker or mother perhaps.
Inma! That's her name. Jack's mind kept this information locked tight. Having her name would prove to be useful in the future. He could probably build a fake relationship with her and make his escape. The gears in Jack's mind began to rotate and he formulated a plan. The girl slid Jack back into her coat pocket and began to walk back to her mother. The view of the mountains still lingered in the back of her mind.
