Up the Beanstalk
Trigger warning: mentions abuse
Rylee's POV
That was the longest climb I've ever taken but it wasn't as bad as I thought it was. When I got up there, I noticed a great big castle with a door that had to be 900 ft. which is really big. How big is this world anyway? I decided to check the placed out and went under the door. Everything in this castle was huge so I felt like a little bug compared to everything I walked around until I smelled something really good. I put my stuff in an area in a box that I found and it was small enough to hold my stuff. I walked towards the table where the food was when all of a sudden, the floor began to shake. I knew a giant lived here and began to panic. When I turned to see him, not only was he huge, but he looked very angry. "Who the hell are you and how did you get in here?" His voice roared across the room very loudly which scared me. I was about to speak but he interrupted me. "You're here to steal from me! I have had it with humans coming in thinking they're not thieves when they don't give anything in return!" I began to cry in fear as he came closer. "I-I w-wasn't gonna steal from y-you. I-I ran away from home. " I spoke as I was shaking. "Don't lie. I know you came for food and you'll leave with food afterwards. Every other human does that." I didn't know what to do at this point. The giant is too angry for me to face. I couldn't speak, I couldn't move, I was too scared. "If you want food that badly, fine. I'll get you some. But I'm going to keep you as my prisoner." As much as I wanted to disagree, it's better than going back to my abusive father. "Let's go."
Harry's POV
I didn't want to yell at the human girl. I've just been so angry lately that I didn't want anyone coming near me. It's just been hard for me explain why I've been so angry. I brought the human in my room and put her in a cage. "I'll be right back with food. Don't even try to escape or I will punish you." It broke my heart at the fact that I'm threatening this poor girl but I don't know how to stop being angry. I've been like this ever since I lost a friend of mine. I don't feel like going into why right now. I wasn't gonna give the human anything bad and decided to grab a few grapes for her.
Rylee's POV
I don't know why the giant would think I would escape. I don't have a choice either way since my father kicked me out. I decided to set up my stuff. I'm glad I took a mini amplifier with me. So I plugged it in so I could start playing. I've been teaching myself how to play so I've gotten better. I kept playing until the giant came back in. "Um...that's a cool guitar." The giant spoke softly this time. "T-Thanks." I spoke nervous. "Anyway, thanks for not escaping." I looked down as he said that. "Well, to be honest I don't have choice either way. My dad kicked me out of the house. I-I don't blame him, though. I-It was my fault." I began to tear up again. I was expecting the giant to yell at me again but instead he gently reached in to place some grapes next to me. "Here. Why don't you snack on some grapes? I'll be right back." I had no idea why the giant was acting very calmly. Wasn't he furious with me? I sat there crying about my brother as I was hesitant to eat the grapes.
