Hey guys the story is not dead if you were thinking that!
I was just away over the summer, but it’s still going strong.
Hope u enjoy (sry for the wait)
Chapter 14
Both Taren and Alina stared blankly at Jayden. But as Taren looked at Jayden’s smile he then realized what it was all about. It was that smile…. Jayden’s “act really nice so people will like me smile.” Whenever there was a girl he liked, someone important, or company, Jayden always put on that same awkward face. Taren laughed in his head. It all made sense now,
Jayden wanted to get on Alina’s good side.
Deciding he’d go along with it Taren replied, “Well then thanks Jay.” Sitting down in the chair, Taren put his hand on the table and let Alina walk off. There was even a little plate for her, with small pieces of the eggs and pancakes on it.
If it weren’t for the fact that Jayden saved her yesterday, Alina would’ve thought the food was poisoned. Alina watched as Jayden sat down in his chair, eyes locked on her every movement. She stared back.
“Well, what are you staring at?” she spat at him.
“Nuh-Nuh nothing, “Jayden replied quickly looking away, his hand fumbling toward his fork. He quickly took a mouthful of pancake and swallowed hard. Alina raised an eyebrow. Why was he acting so strangely? She looked into space for a second trying to piece together what exactly was going on. Nothing made sense. Why was he being so nice to her… there was no explanation that she could find. Suddenly she felt something nudge her back.
Alina quickly spun around to see Taren had poked her back with his finger.
“Alina eat it, it’s not poisoned,” he laughed. He took a fork-full of food and swallowed, “See?”
“Ehh it’s not that,” she replied rubbing the back of her neck. “I’m just not hungry,” she lied.
Taren raised an eyebrow,” Fine be that way.”
Alina continued to process what was going on around her. She figured Jayden really wasn’t going to hurt her. If he had planned on it, well, he would’ve done so already. And, there was the fact that he had saved her. Sure she might get him angry…. Who cares? He wouldn’t try anything with Taren there.
Standing up with force Alina glared at Jayden,” You!”
Jayden moved back in his seat staring at her in awe.
“Yes you!” she yelled.
“Don’t play games with me” she pointed a finger at him,” What’s with YOU! First you hate me. Then you save me, and now you make this big random breakfast sh*t!”
“ I- uh,” Jayden stuttered.
“What’s up with this!” she threw her hands up in frustration.
Taren reached out his hand,” Alina calm do-“
“NO! I want you to explain yourself and I want you to spit it out NOW!” she interrupted.
Jayden looked down at the table and mumbled slowly looking up,” You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”

Chapter 15
Suddenly there was a loud knock on the door. Taren and Jayden both stared at each other. Humans were hated by most giants. Some giants even sold humans as pets, or tortured them. What would happen if word got out that they had a human? Jayden quickly grabbed Alina despite her muffled screams.
Alina felt queasy was she was jostled about until she found herself clutched in Jayden’s fist. He stared at her and whispered,” Whatever you do don’t talk.” She only nodded, and then was dropped into his pants pocket.
Taren walked over and opened the door a crack. Outside was a fat middle-aged man, whose features made it appear he was always somewhat angry.
“Yes?” Taren raised an eyebrow.
The man coughed,” Interested in the black market?”
Taren quickly began to shut the door, before being stopped by the man.
Taren glared at him,” I’m not interested.”
“Ai, you sure?” the man grinned,” You won’t find another place with such valuables.”
“Look, I’m sorry but no-“he was interrupted,” Well in case you change your mind.” The man handed him a flier, as Taren quickly shut the door.
“What did he want?” Jayden asked.
“He was a merchant from the black market,” Taren replied.
“The black market? Oh great, now they have freaking merchants snooping around, how wonderful,” Jayden rolled his eyes.
Alina asked quietly,” Can I come out now?”
“Oh sorry about that,” Jayden said pulling her out by the back of her dress, and dropping her onto his palm.
“Excuse me for asking… but what is the black market?” she asked.
“Bad news that we’re not getting involved in,” Jayden mumbled.
“It’s a market for giants where they sell illegal and rare stuff,” Taren added.
“Like what?” Alina asked confused.
“It doesn’t matter because were not getting involved,” Taren said crumbling the flier and tossing it into the garbage.
“Well if you’re not going to tell me, then I’m changing the subject. Jayden… ,” she stared at him,” You never answered my question.”
“Okay,” he sighed,” Well if I’m going to tell you, I want you to listen. Just don’t freak out okay?”
“Uhm okay.”
“But I think it’s better if I do it this way.” He put his hand on the ground and let her walk off. Then he stepped back and shrunk down to ‘human size.’
He walked up to Alina, and put his hands on her shoulders. Looking down at her he smiled,” What do you see?”
“What kinda question is that?” she raised an eyebrow. “When you look at me,” he paused,” what do you see?” Alina just stared with confusion.
Jayden shook her,” The same jade-colored eyes? The same hair color!” All he got was a stare.
“ I-I’m your brother for god sakes!” he yelled, his eyes locked on hers.
“You’re m-my,” she paused, “my BROTHER?!”

Whoa, what a cliffhanger, great update, I like it that Jayden shrunk down when he told told her, instead of doing it when he is giant sized.

After a LONG wait here it is! Sorry guys!
Chapter 16
“Yes I am,” Jayden replied trying to make his voice sound as calm as possible.
“But- But that’s impossible-“she began.
“Alina please-“Jayden interrupted.
“No- it’s just how? How could you possibly be my brother- It just doesn’t make sense,” she replied looking down.
How could he possibly convince her that he was indeed her brother? He knew almost nothing about her…
“I mean if you’re my brother… then why did my father never mention you? And where have you been all this time?” Alina continued to ask numerous questions.
Jayden interrupted, “Ask me anything.” There were so many things she could ask, he just hoped he’d know the answer.
“Uhmmm, okay then. Where do we live?” Alina asked.
“I don’t know,” Jayden replied sadly,” Ask me something else please-“
“What’s our mother’s name-“she began. “Kimberly.”
Alina raised an eyebrow, “That’s right. What’s our father’s name?”
“Adrian.”
“How old am I?”
“Uh sixteen?”
“What kind of giant is our father?”
“He can control air.”
“What’s our mother?”
“Human.”
Suddenly Alina started sobbing and buried her face in his arms.
“You really are my brother aren’t you?” she said smiling and wiping the tears from her eyes.
“Yes Alina, I am,” He said smiling back.
“But where have you been?” Alina asked sadly and confused.
“It’s a long story Alina-“
“Tell me,” Alina said sternly, as Jayden sighed.
“Well, It all began a little less then eighteen years ago,” he began,” And our mom was pregnant, with me. You see there’s two important things a baby can inherit from a giant parent when it’s a half-giant. One is height- the other is powers. I think it’s pretty obviously which one I got.” Jayden smiled slightly and continued,” But even though all baby half-giants are born at human size, the ones who inherit the giant trait grow to giant size soon after birth. Shrinking to human size is something that we giants have to master at an older age-“
“I didn’t know that,” Alina replied totally absorbed in the story.
“So, soon after I was born- dad watched me just in case. He soon discovered that I inherited his “giant height.” I mean it’s not that bad now, but it was a problem then. My mother couldn’t take care of me- and our father felt that he needed to be with her. People were after her, there are a lot of human haters out there. The fact that she married and had children with a giant put her in a lot of danger. He gave me to his parents to raise- until he was sure that I would not be of any danger to our mom, or I could learn to shrink to human size. But, she became pregnant with you, and you didn’t inherit the height trait. Dad wanted to stay with our mother and help raise you. When I was seven I was old enough to understand the situation. But I still didn’t understand why Dad had to stay with you and our mother. I hated my father for choosing to stay with our mother instead of raising me. I wanted to be a normal family like anyone else. I wanted to be able to see my parents everyday like other children, yet I had never even met my mother. I hated you. You were the reason that we could not live together. I hated my father for abandoning me with his parents, my mother for being human, and you for being human and causing our father to stay with you. I hated everything about our family. And then I ran away. I just didn’t want to be a part of our family anymore. The orphanage found me. I lived there, where the other children and their constant badmouthing of humans increased my hatred. I never wanted to go back- to my father who married a human. I absolutely hated him. Each time he’d be close to finding me, I’d run off again. And by the time I was 15 I was living on my own.” Jayden was crying now, unable to hold back tears.
“I’m sorry,” I said holding him tight.
“It’s okay,” he said looking down at me. I suddenly began to cry too burying my face in his arms as we cried together.
