Chapter 8 The Great Escape After Jayden had left the table, Taren tried to make conversation with Alina. “So uhh, how old are you?” he asked.
“Sixteen, you?” Alina replied.
“Eighteen, well almost,” he smiled.
“So when will you bring me home?” Alina asked looking up at him.
“Well how exactly did you get in the middle of the market?” Taren asked curiously. Alina explained what had happened to her with the bandits, and how she had seen them the next day and got back her jewelry. And then how she had picked up the glowing orb, and suddenly she was in the market.
“Sounds like a transport orb,” Taren mumbled.
“Transport orb?” Alina asked.
“Yea, it’s used to bring people to a certain place when you hold it in the light,” Taren said with a smile,” And I would bring you back, but you see I have no idea where you live or how to get there from here.”
“But I can find my way back on my own, I can take care of myself-“she was interrupted.
“Doubt it,” Taren replied. Alina was shocked. Even after she had told him what happened, about how she had defeated the bandits he still didn’t believe she could take care of herself. Things like this really ticked her off. But Taren didn’t think she had understood how dangerous it was for a human to be in giant territory. Humans were enemies of giants.
Alina decided to prove to him that she could take care of herself,” So about that race?”
“Oh you were serious?” Taren laughed.
Alina was furious; did he take her seriously at all? Yea she was a human. And yea she was a girl, but still.
“Oh scared are you?” She said waving a finger at him.
Taren was calm most of the time, but when someone challenged him, he was the most competitive person out there.
“Bring it on,” he grinned.
“Perfect,” Alina mumbled as a smirk grew across her face. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After they were done eating, Taren brought Alina upstairs with him, Jayden had disappeared, and he was no longer in the house. Taren put Alina on the floor, and then shrunk to human size, his clothes shrunk with him. When Alina asked how, he said they had a magic spell put on them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Alina stared blankly, even as a human he towered over her. He was even taller than her father!
“You ready?” Taren said an excited grin grew across his face.
Alina just stared. “What?” Taren asked confused.
“Sorry,” Alina replied,” I’m just not used to you being the same size as me.”
“Nah I’m still a lot taller,” Taren said teasing her, messing up her hair a bit.
“Hey but I gotta run in your big baggy clothes, that not fair,” Alina grumbled crossing her arms.
“Well I actually washed your dress, should be dry now,” he shrugged,” But I’d need to be my normal height again to reach them.”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ After Taren had gotten the clothes and gave them to Alina they were ready for the race.
“Finally, let’s get this over with,” Alina grinned.
“Let’s,” Taren smirked. Alina had figured she would give him a head start, giving him a false set of confidence. Then she would get ahead of him, and leave him in the dust.
“It will be a long race,” he said,” First one across the room, to the wall on the other side.” But at their size it was at least 400meters.
“On your mark,” He said.
“Get set.”
“Go!”
Taren took off as fast as he could, laughing to himself, he knew he would win. “Who’s fast now?” Taren called to Alina who was far behind.
Alina giggled, he wouldn’t be laughing anymore in a matter of seconds,” Not you! “Alina then gained speed easily, and ran past him in seconds. They weren’t even half way across yet.
“What? Whoa!” Taren said as she soared in front of him like wind.
She was almost at the wall, glancing behind her, she was ahead of him by far. She laughed.
It was then she realized that if she continued running after the race…. She could run right out the door of his room, and maybe escape. Now was her chance, when she was on the ground, and he was weaker. Who knows if he would ever find her village? And he certainly wouldn’t let her go alone.
“You win,” Taren said slowing down, and giving up panting.
She turned around to him still a good distance away, she hesitated then said” I’m sorry but I have to do this.” She then shot a giant burst of air toward him, sending him flying halfway across the room.
Then Alina took her chance, and ran full speed out of the room.
“Cya!” she yelled.

Chapter 9
Jayden Reveals
Alina fled out of the room as soon as possible. It was then she realized she would need to get down the stairs.
“Just great,” she mumbled, “Now he’s gonna catch me.”
Alina made it to the stairs, and then jumped, landing with a thud on the next step. It was a dangerous jump, but if she was careful she could get down the stairs.
Taren was shocked, she really did have powers, and even more she sent him flying halfway across the room. But if she had powers that would mean…. Alina was a half giant. Why didn’t she tell him that? But this was no time to be mad that she hadn’t told him, he needed to get Alina before she escaped. He sat up and began to grow to his normal size.
Alina had finally reached the bottom of the steps, and began sprinting, when she heard thudding coming from upstairs. She turned around to find Taren speeding down the stairs after her. Alina screamed and darted into the kitchen.
“There you are, “he cursed. Alina didn’t know where to hide; she realized that even if it was a tight fit, she could squeeze behind the cupboard between it and the wall. She inched her way behind it and kept silent.
“Ugh where are you!” Taren yelled.
She couldn’t see what he was doing as she was behind the cupboard. Taren got down on his hands and knees and searched the kitchen floor for her. He checked behind the legs of the table and chairs, in the low cabinets. Then he banged his fist on the floor in frustration, startling Alina,” WHERE ARE YOU!” he yelled.
Now she was really afraid to come out, she had made him angry. Then it was quiet. Taren had slumped into the chair, and sighed. It was far too dangerous for her out there. He had to find her. Realizing that Taren had seized his search temporarily, Alina slowly crept out of her hiding space. As she peeked her head out from behind the cupboard she saw him. Taren was slumped in a chair, his face buried in his hands on the table.
Now was her chance. She quietly ran towards the front door, which wasn’t that far away. The door was shut. Alina realized that if she laid on her back she could fit just enough to inch her way under the door. She got on her back, and slowly began to slide under the door.
Taren couldn’t give up, he couldn’t let her escape. She would get hurt out there! As he slowly got up from his chair, he noticed something by the door. It was Alina, and she was sliding under.
“Dammit Alina, come back here!” he yelled. Alina heard him yell to her just as she had finished sliding under the door. Great, he saw her. She quickly ran into the night, and hid behind a large flower. She looked to see that Taren had opened the door, the light from the inside of the house stood out in the darkness of night as he stepped outside.
Suddenly, a foot slammed next to her. But Alina managed not to scream. She watched as the feet made their way towards Taren. It was Jayden. Now she really wanted to leave, she had no desire to be around Jayden. Being around one mad giant was bad enough.
Taren saw Jayden coming toward him.
“BECAREFUL! “ Taren yelled.
“Wait why? Taren calm down. What’s your problem?!” Jayden replied. Alina took this moment as Taren was distracted to scamper away into the darkness.
“Alina-“Taren began,” Alina and I raced for fun, cause I thought I could beat her. But it turns out she was really fast. And she got away, and escaped out the door.” Taren looked down at the ground shamefully.
“How in the world did she beat you?” Jayden asked.
“Turns out, she’s well, she’s got powers! And she controls air, she used it to get away,” Taren replied.
Jayden froze. It. Was. Her.
“She’s a half giant,” Jayden whispered to himself.
“WHERE IS SHE?” Jayden yelled.
“Whoa- since when do you care?” Taren asked confused.
“It doesn’t matter! WHERE IS SHE!?” Jayden yelled.
“Really why do you care! She’s a human! You HATE humans!” Taren spat back. Something was wrong with Jayden. Why would he care? He hated humans.
“B-BE-CAUSE.”
“Because?” Taren asked.
“BECAUSE SHE’S MY SISTER!” Jayden yelled.
Taren froze,” SHE’S YOUR WHAT!?”
