Tiffany struggled and tried to break free as the ants carried her through the house with Zoc leading the way. She now realized that the creatures kidnapping her, were not aliens, but ants. Tiffany wondered how the ants shrank her and what they were going to do with her. She asked what her captors were taking her and what they were going to do with her, but the ants refused to answer her. The little group passed Lucas's room and Tiffany could hear the sound of video games. Figures. Tiffany knew her brother was too busy and focused with his video game to care about what was going around in the world. She didn't bother trying to call out for help to her brother. Tiffany knew that even if she was full size and if she called out for help, Lucas would still ignore her.
It was then Grandma stepped out of her room with binoculars muttering about aliens as she looked around. Apparently the ants had somehow set off one of her security alarms. Grandma saw the ants and Tiffany and zoomed in on them with her binoculars.
"What are you doing out of bed Tiny Tiffany?" Asked Grandma.
Grandma blinked her eyes in confusion before she let out a scream and fainted. Her false teeth popped out and landed on the floor next to her. Tiffany wasn't going to get help from her Grandma either.
The ants reached the porch and front steps of the house. They spread down the steps tossing Tiffany down to each other and then headed into the yard towards the ant hill. Tiffany looked on at the ant hill in horror. From her new size and perspective the ant hill looked like a small mountain or volcano. Tiffany remembered watching a movie about some island savages that sacrificed a beautiful girl to a volcano and began to fear she was about to meet a similar fate. The ants stopped at the mouth of the entrance and dangled Tiffany near the edge. Tiffany looked fearfully down the hole and glance behind her just in time to se Zoc rush and slam into her back sending her falling into the hole with a scream.
Tiffany screamed as the wind blew into her face and hair as she fell deeper and deeper into the hill. The fall felt like an eternity. Tiffany eventually reached a much larger chamber falling past ants with silk shooters. One ant shot his silk shooter at Tiffany striking her in the rear, which abruptly stopped her fall for a few seconds like a bungee cord and then she shot back up breaking the silk strand and landed on a moss covered rock. Tiffany groaned and looked up to see that she was face-to-face with a caterpillar!
"They're going to feed me to this beast!" Thought Tiffany with horror before she began screaming.
The caterpillar screamed, along with the ant that was riding it. Tiffany and the bugs continued screaming for a few more seconds before another ant shot Tiffany in the rear with a silk shooter and sent Tiffany into the air again. The tiny girl flew through the air eventually breaking the strand, only to get hit by another strand of silk to pull her along. Tiffany was hit in the rear, back, chest, and front of her waist. Little bits of silk stuck to Tiffany's body giving her makeshift chest coverings as well as a loincloth. Tiffany was then dropped onto a line of ants that passed her down with incredible speed and unceremoniously dropped her onto a small pile of junk.
Tiffany grumbled as she got to her feet and ants surrounded her and looked at her. One ant poked Tiffany and a look of confusion and disgust appeared on their.
"The Destroyer's skin is soft!" Said the ant.
"The Destroyer is inside out?!" Cried another ant.
The ants looked disgusted and disturbed by this discovery as another two ants grabbed Tiffany and dragged her into a official looking chamber. The Ant Council sat behind a rock table and Zoc stood by the side smirking at Tiffany. The chamber was filled with ants and behind the Council table were some butterfly wing curtains. The head of the Council banged a gavel and everything became quiet. The head of the Council then spoke.
"Human state your name and your gender."
"My...name is Tiffany and...I'm a girl." Said Tiffany looking nervous.
"Tiffany you are being tried for many crimes against the colony. You have repeatedly destroyed our home, injured and killed many ants, damaged our food supply, and flooded our home. For these crimes you have been found guilty. Now all that remains is what to do with you."
"Wait! I didn't know ants had families or trials! I'm just a dumb kid! Please let me go and I promise I won't ever bother you again!" Begged Tiffany.
"I say we eat her!" Yelled one ant.
"Hey, we are not savages. This human needs to be studied and dissected, then we will eat her." Said Zoc.
"I can get you lots of food if you let me go!" Said Tiffany desperate to win the ants over.
"Enough! The Queen will decide the human's fate." Said the head of the Council.
The butterfly curtains drew back to reveal a enormous ant with wings that towered over everyone else.
"Good evening my children. I see we have a very unusual guest among us. One who has done many wrongs to our colony and now we must chose what is to become of her. This human says she is a child and we can destroy her and preserve our colony and our way of life or we can show her mercy and give her an opportunity to learn and give ourselves an ally and a brighter future. I choose mercy." Said the Queen.
Tiffany let out a little sigh of relief.
"The human will remain with, us until she learns our ways and becomes an ant." Said the Queen.
"WHAT?!" Said both Tiffany and Zoc.
"Your highness, surly you can't be serious." Said Zoc.
"I am." Said the Queen.
"But who would teach the human our ways?" Asked Zoc.
"I will." Said Hova stepping out from the crowd.
"Hova." Said Zoc looking stunned.
"Then it is settled. Now go rest my children." Said the Queen as the curtains closed.
The ants began to leave the chamber.
"Wait you can't do this! This is inhuman!" Cried Tiffany to the Council.
"It is." Agreed the head of the Council with a smirk before walking away.
Tiffany just stood there stunned as she realized she was a prisoner of the ants.
To be continued.
