Rune sighed. Another day of life… Another day of boredom and regret. Some days he wished he died that day… Hell … He might as well have… I mean… As far as the Swedish government and other officials knew, he WAS dead… His parents staged his death after the incident long ago. He ran a hand through his dyed brown hair and groaned in frustration as he walked down the hallway made specially for him. He paused when he heard what sounded like someone walking down the connecting hall. “[in Swedish] Sofia, is that you?”
--------------------------------------------------- Again, Emiko was amazed with the pure size of the hallway around her. The ceiling probably was the underside of the roof, some seven or so stories above her. ‘Geez..I wonder if the dad is making a time machine so that he can have Da Vinci paint it.’
Snickering at her joke, Emiko continued to make her way down the hallway. As she walked she tried to see any type of indicator that one of these doors was a bathroom. But every single one was just like the others, fancy without being gaudy and rather pretty. ‘Oi..its a good thing that I don’t have to go that badly.’ And with a sigh she kept walking, vaguely hoping that she would run into someone to tell her which way to go.
But only after a few more steps, Emiko started to notice a strange noise. She stopped and listened with a confused tilt of her head. It was an evenly paced thumping noise, and strangely enough not only did it get louder, but it sounded like it was getting closer. ‘It cant be machinery can it? Sofia did say that her dad was a scientist….. ,’ but then the ground under her started to tremble in sync with the loud noises. And just as the noises seemed to be getting louder and closer, the trembling was becoming more violent. ‘Holy crap whats going on?..and why does this seem oddly fimiliar?...is it an earthqu-,’ her thought was cut off as a booming voicing echoed out from the hallway adjacent to the one she was in.
Emiko froze in shock and plastered herself to the wall behind her. ‘Oh….my…..God……that was…a person…..the noises were footsteps….it has to be huge…its…..its coming this way!’ Her shock quickly turned into fear and adrenaline rushed through her. Seeing a normal sized hallway about 12 feet from where she was standing along the wall. She dashed for it, hoping that the low hallway was enough to cover her from whatever was coming.

Rune growled. “Sofia oche henne dum spelen [Sofia and her stupid games],” grumbled Rune…Mostly to himself. “Sofia? Sofia, Svar jag! [Answer me!]” Running his hand through his hair yet again – it was a nervous habit of his – he rounded around the corner…to which he saw a figure duck into another hallway… A Small one..One that I’ll never fit in again, he thought sadly.
Now upset and quite pissed off at his “thoughtless sister”, he stormed to the entrance of hallway and snarled, “Sofia! Fa din asna ute um dar! Den har er icke rolig! Du er tagande den har litten spel alltfor langt! [Sofia! Get your ass out of there! This isn’t funny! You’re taking this little game too far!]” With that said, the giant Swede got down on his knees and peered down the little hallway only to gasp and for his eyes to widen. “Du er inte Sofia! [You’re not Sofia!]”
------------------------------------------------------------
Again the loud voice rang out. And though it was speaking Swedish Emiko was able to easily hear the irritation in its tone. ‘OhmyGodohmygodohmy..I have to hide! This thing isn’t happy that Im here!’
As she dashed for the hallway, Emiko wondered why Sofia really brought her here. Was this some evil game for rich people like in Hostel? Was this an experiment that had gotten loose? ‘Oh God..please help!’ Just as Emiko made it to the entrance of the hallway, she looked down the hall to where the two met. Just rounding the corner, Emiko saw two denim covered legs coming into the hallway. And these legs where almost as big her home in America. With a small scream, she ran down the hallway and plastered herself against the wall, hoping that whatever was coming hadn’t seen her.
But Emiko wasn’t that lucky. The angry voice boomed something out again in Swedish and the tremors started to shake the floor under her harder as the loud steps carried the thing closer. ‘Oh God…..’ Tempted to close her eyes and deny what was happening, Emiko watched mesmerized as two feet the size of sedans planted themselves right at the entrance of the hallway and the thing’s voice boomed out an irradiated command she couldn’t understand.
“Oh God.,” she whispered to herself as huge knees pounded into the floor, and then a face filled the hallway entrance. “Oh shit.” The face was of a young man that looked about her age and he looked pissed. But then Emiko saw his eyes widen out of shock. ‘Oh my God…it’s a fucking giant…..I need to move..I need to move…’ Her thoughts where cut off when the giant again boomed out something to her in Swedish. She cringed at the loudness of it. The girl stood there, frozen in utter fear and shock at the giant face staring at her. ‘I need to move…need to move….’ She started to slowly back up, with her arm still pressed against the soild wall. After two steps a knob hit her lower back. While still keeping her eyes on the face, she reached back and turned it. The knob easily turned in her grasp.
Before she could think about it what she was doing or what the giant would do, she swiftly turned and ran through the door. Slamming the door closed she pressed her back against the door and slid to the floor. Emiko looked around the room, knowing she could still be in trouble. She was in a bathroom. ‘Oh God……….I don’t know if Im going to laugh or cry.’

Rune’s brows furrowed as the girl – she looked Asian-ish in appearance from the glimpse he saw of her before she ran into a room on the side. Considering the fact she was so quick to run away revealed to Rune she was not simply another servant. “Hej du! Nedlagga arbetet av dar! Eller er jag gar till a komme efter du!? [Hey You! Come out of there! Or am I going to have to come after you!?],” growled Rune. After getting no response, Rune sighed. “Boter du lov jag nej valja [Fine! You leave me no choice!]” With that said he laid down on his stomach and reached deep into the hallway…Trying to grab a hold of the small door on the left. Much to his disappointment it was just out of his reach. “Christ! Jag kan icke stracka! [Christ! I can’t reach!]”
“M-master Bergstrom, what’re yoo doin? ,” a spoke a middle-age feminine voice with quite the British accent.
“I-Inget, Maddy!” cried the boy, “Er… I mean… Nothing,Maddy.” Repeated Rune..This time in English though with a strong Swedish accent [not sure what that sounds like lD]. Withdrawing his hand from the hallway, he spoke up again, “Just dropped something.. That’s all….Got it now,” he said clenching his fist as if he was holding something.
“Okay, rightio then. I’ll be off on my way.. If you need me…Just ring…Cheers,’ said the woman sprightly as she left the hallways. After Maddy was nowhere in sight, Rune gave a sigh of relief …He turned back to the hallway and frowned… Why the hell did I just protect this intruder?! -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Trying to calm down, Emiko started taking deep breaths. Her heart continued to beat a crazed rhythm for a few breaths but she was able to start calming her pounding heart. ‘If I live past today….Im so going to develop asthma.’
As her heart started to quiet down, the giant’s voice boomed out again. From his tone it sounded like he was telling her to do something. Emiko jumped almost half a foot into the air when she heard it. “SHIT!.....God….does he think that I understand him?! Or that Im coming out?!..HELL NO!”
Suddenly she heard more loud thumping, followed by softer thumps. ‘Crap..what is he doing?’ Emiko listened as the softer thumping seemed to get closer. ‘Wait..that sounds like fingers tapping……….IS HE REACHING FOR THE DOOR?!’ The terrified girl scrambled to the far side of the bathroom and shoved herself in a corner.
Emiko was absolutely convinced that the giant was going to hurt her or worse. She sat shivering in fear and listened as the giant’s fingers reached for the door. But the girl noticed that the tapping wasn’t getting any closer to the door. Suddenly the giant cursed and she heard his arm slipping out of the hallway. ‘Oh thank you God…please let him go away.’
But as she strained to hear his retreating footsteps, Emiko instead heard a much smaller voice talking. The voice sounded like it was from a normal sized person. But more remarkably, Emiko couldn’t hear any fear in the voice. ‘What the hell?’
The giant then spoke to the other person. And he spoke in English! ‘What the fuck is going on?......he’s not telling them about me?’ Emiko became even more confused. Was the giant actually protecting her? Or was he just trying to make sure that no one knew that he had a victim? ‘Oh God……and here I left my cell phone in the library.’ Emiko continued to sit there praying that someone would come help her.

Rune groaned and laid back down on his stomach….His eyes locking on the room’s door. ..If he recalled it was either a closet or a bathroom. If he recalled, she looked Asian and the last time he saw an Asian person in Sweden was…well…never…Not counting the tourists….So chances were…she was a tourist… So speaking to her in Swedish wasn’t going to get him anywhere… “Hey..You…Girl in the closet…bathroom…whatever.. How about we come on out, yeah? I’m not going to-
“What the hell is going on here!?!”
Runes swiveled around. “SOFIA!” ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“CRAP!” Again Emiko jumped when the giants voice rang down the hallway. ‘Holy crap…he just spoke English!’ The girl sat on the bathroom floor stunned. She didn’t know what to make of his words. The giant waited for her at the end of the hallway like an animal that had cornered its prey. And there was no way that Emiko was going to willingly walk out to that.Just as Emiko resolved to stay in the bathroom as long as possible, she heard another voice. Again this voice was softer and Emiko couldn’t clearly make out their words. But the giants voice easily cleared up her confusion. ‘Did he just say Sofia?’Emiko stood up and put her ear to the door. She hoped that the two would continue talking in English. ‘I have to figure out if I can trust anyone here,’ she thought worriedly and bit her lip.

Sofia stood with her hands on her hips, glaring at her brother.
“WHAT are YOU doing here,” she groaned ..almost whined even.
“Why do you mean ‘what am I doing here?’? I LIVE here…,” growled before his eyes widened in an epiphany. “You brought a guest didn’t you…? You know guests are allowed…For obvious reasons..”
“I-I don’t wh-what you’re talking about….?”
“Bullshit…Female..Asian-looking-“
“EMIKO!”
“Hah! I knew it!”
“Shut up, Rune…What did you do to Emiko…?!
“What!? I didn’t do anything…She ran into that room…over there,” spoke Rune as he pointed towards the door Emiko ran behind.
Sofia quickly ran over to the room and pressed herself against the door. “Emiko? Are you ok?” ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Still plastered to her side of the door, Emiko’s eyes were wide in surprise as she listened to the two argue. ‘Oh my God…that’s Sofia!...she knows that giant?!...Crap..they sound like brother and sister.’ As Emiko considered the possibility that the two were some how related, the more possible it seemed. Not only were they fighting like siblings, but when the girl considered their looks they two were extremely similar looking. ‘Like same gene pool similar.’
While Emiko had been thinking about the two in the hall, she had stopped listening to what was exactly being said on the other side of the door. So when Emiko felt a something slight pound into the door, she jumped back from the door.
“So..Sofia?...Is that you Sofia?”
Then moving just on instinct, Emiko opened the door about five inches and peered out at the door with frightened and confused eyes.
“What the hell is GOING ON SOFIA?”
