Paty Time: Little Mark’s Turn (ending 2)

Stephanie leaned in closer, “Hey little guy. How you doing?”

Mark was scared out of his mind, “You… You killed them.  You killed them both.”

Stephanie looked at Claire then smiled back at Mark, “We sure did, and you know what? It felt great!   Someone had to teach them a lesson.”

“Teaching them a lesson? By killing them! Why are you doing this?  Please - change me back!”, Mark demanded.

Claire let out sad sigh, “You see - that’s the problem… we don’t know how.”

“WHAT!!”

“Well, we learned how to shrink, but not how to fix it.  I mean, you were just collateral and we are sorry about that, but when life gives you lemons you make lemonade.”

Mark was more angry then scared at the two giantesses in front of him.   How could they be so stupid as to not learn the counter spell to fix this?  Before he could start insulting them and fight back the best he could, Stephanie broke his train of thought.

“Ugh, all this talk is boring - let’s have some fun.”  Grinning down over the top of the bowl; “I say we play hide and seek.”

Claire thought it was a stupid idea, “What? That’s boring. I want to do something more…” she licked her lips as she stared right at Mark.  Mark shivered at the thought of what Claire wanted to do to him now.

Stephanie rolled her eyes, “Not normal hide and seek, but hide and seek with perks.  Mark you have 60 seconds head start to go hide, and then we come looking for you.  Whoever finds you first gets you for the rest of the night…well, I guess it would be the rest of your life. I know Claire’s feeling a bit frisky, but I…I’m still a bit hungry”, shrugging in a nonchalant way she continued, “So, your fate would depend on who caught you. But to make it more exciting for us, and a chance for you, if you can hold out until Jenny gets home and get her to see you first, you win.  She is like home base, and she will get to keep you, and we will try to look for a spell to fix this.”

Mark jumped up at the last couple of sentences; he could be with Jenny instead of these psychotic killers, and eventually back to normal. His thoughts turned to Jenny’s whereabouts. Where the heck is she? How long will I have to hide for? Wait til she finds out what her friends did to Tom and Bill. He would exact a form of revenge, maybe even get those two burned at the stake for witchcraft, if such laws still existed.

Claire thought about it.  She didn’t want to give up her play thing but she knew there weren’t many places to hide in this house; and Jenny won’t be back for a while.  Plus she always loved a challenge.  “I think it’s a great idea.”

With everyone in agreement Stephanie picked up Mark and set him down in the middle of the family room.  Then Claire and Stephanie went into another room, which Mark insisted to prevent them from looking.  As soon as they left he bolted to the T.V.  He went behind the T.V. and used the cable to climb up to the DVD player that was inside a cabinet next the T.V.  Behind the DVD player he was obscured from vision.  Moments after hiding he heard the two giantesses bound into the room with hopes of catching him off guard.

“Darn.” Stephanie said with a hint of disappointment.  “Ah well - let the hunt begin.” She lot out a laugh as she went to the couch and checked under it; nothing.  She took out all the cushions too.  Then she checked behind the T.V.; again nothing.  She checked every chair and even pulled open the cabinet with the DVD player and looked, (but not behind) but found nothing.

Claire was having similar luck.  First, she checked all the shoes near the front door, and then she checked all their stuff: purses, bags, clothes.  This little bugger can hide.  Claire then moved out into the kitchen just in case he made a run for it or made it here when they were counting.  She checked everywhere and found the same results, nothing.

Mark lay down behind the DVD player. After Stephanie had opened the cabinet, he nearly died.  She soon closed it and moved on; Mark let out a sigh of relief.  That was damn close.  After about five minutes of the family room being torn apart, he heard a perplexed Claire say out loud, “I think the little bugger made it into another room.”

He heard their footfalls leave and search the rest of the house.  Did he dare leave and hide somewhere? If so, would he be able to make it to Jenny?  No.  He would wait them out and then go for Jenny.

The house had an open layout, with the central dining room being the hub area. After about twenty minutes the house was torn apart and yet Mark was not found.  Stephanie and Claire were angry at how the little pest could hide so well.  Claire saw the lights of Jenny’s car as she pulled into the driveway.

“Dammit - I guess we lost, Stephanie.”  Claire exclaimed loudly, feeling extremely sad at the loss of her would-be pet.

“Not yet. He still needs to get to Jenny without us noticing,” she whispered with a smirk on her face. 

“I thought you said he just has to keep away until Jenny returned?”, Claire whispered back.

“I guess I kind of implied that. But I also did say Jenny was base. Base means he has to touch Jenny, right?”, Stephanie whispered back with a mischievous smirk.

“You’re so bad”, whispered Jenny in conspiratorial tone, “I love it.”

They both let out laughs as they split up to start to clean up the house so Jenny wouldn’t kill them.  Unbeknownst to them, Mark had overheard their whisper (for a whisper by them was still relatively loud to him). He felt stung by their level of deceitfulness. They’re not going to get me that easy, he said to himself.

A couple of minutes later, Jenny walked through the door.  “Hey gang. I got food and beers.  Alright let’s get this party started.”  Jenny walked into the dining room and put down a couple of boxes of pizza and cases of beer.  She sat down in-between Stephanie and Claire, who had come in from adjoining rooms, with a box of pizza set down on the table.  They all started to dig in and start talking about girl things and how they felt about their exams.

When Mark had heard Jenny walk through the door, it took all his mental strength not to run to her.  After hearing what Claire and Stephanie said he knew this wasn’t going to be easy.  He slid down the cable and looked at the three giantesses across the room from the shadows behind the cabinet.  After ten minutes of talk, Mark saw Jenny get up and go into the kitchen.  As she left, he saw both of the other girls search franticly with their eyes.  This was definitely not going to be easy.

When Jenny got back, Claire and Stephanie put on smiles and acted like they finished a joke.  “…and that’s when I said ‘that’s what he said.’”  They both broke out in laughter causing Jenny to smile too.  She just came back with some napkins and set them down with the rest of their supplies.  Continuing their talk of whatever, the night went on.  She was oblivious to the fact that whenever she talked to one of them, the other searched the room with her eyes.

Mark made his way to Stephanie’s bag, which just happened to be near the cabinet.  Timing the conversation right he dashed to Claire’s bag which was close but there was a moment he would be out in the open.  The conversation was still going showing that he was safe.  Now he was practically in the kitchen.  He timed his movements to when all three of them laughed.  He dove into the kitchen out of their sights.

Claire stood up.

“What’s up?” Jenny asked which caused her to laugh at her silly joke.  She was a little buzzed.

“I think I saw something move.”

Marks heart stopped.  No I was careful! There is no way!  He heard footsteps and he knew there wasn’t anywhere to hide as he was in the middle of the kitchen trying to get up to the counter.

I found him, that sly bastard, Claire thought as she walked into the front of the living room to check a shoe see saw move. Nothing.  What?  I could have sworn…

“You find anything?”  Stephanie asked, mad that Claire found Mark first.

“No….”

Mark was so relieved that Claire didn’t find him.  He quickly climbed up the counter using everything at his disposal to get up to the counter.  Next time Jenny comes in here I will get her attention and then this nightmare will be over.

About an hour later Mark was getting impatient with Jenny.  She was taking forever to come back into the kitchen.  Of course she was entertaining her guests but still…

“Hey Jenny can you get me another napkin.”

“Sure.”

To Mark, it was great news and his heart began racing in excitement.  Waiting for Jenny to walk into the kitchen and grab some more napkins,  Mark quickly came out of his hiding spot behind the coffee machine and shouted, “JENNY!!!”

Jenny heard a voice behind her.  She turned around and saw Mark, but it wasn’t Mark.  It couldn’t be Mark.  He was taller than that.  Quickly she grabbed the imposter and walked out to her friends.

“Look at what I found.”  Jenny held her hand out to her friends.

Both of Stephanie and Claire were alarmed at the fact that Jenny found Mark.  “Where did you find him?”

“He was in the kitchen.  So… what is it?”

Jenny was totally hammered.  She had a long week and tonight she was going to party like crazy.  She was so drunk that she was swaying a little bit.

Mark couldn’t believe it.  Jenny seemed to be in no condition to help him.  Now he stared at the two evil giantesses who just grinned at a devilish idea.

“Well Jenny, that is a little Mark”, said Stephanie, talking to her as a teacher might talk to a student.

“A little Mark?  What is that?”  Jenny had a look of confusion on her face.

Stephanie giggled.  “Well… it’s like Mark but, it’s not.”

“Oh,” Jenny eyes grew wide.  “So what do we do with a little Mark?”

“Hmmm, well, have you had dessert yet?”, asked Claire, winking sideways at Stephanie, who stifled a laugh. Mark looked up at Jenny. He was stunned speechless for the moment.

“Uh, no. Not yet”,  She looked down at Mark, opening her fingers as he lay back on our her palm, facing up at her.  She refocused her eyes, looking carefully at him. “He does look tasty. Can I really eat him?”

“Well you did find him,” Claire said more to Mark to remind him of what the deal was.  “You get to do whatever you want with him.”

“Yeah Jenny, in fact was there anything big Mark did that you didn’t like?  You could exact your revenge on little Mark if you wanted.”  Stephanie chimed in.

Mark saw where this was going and tried to get Jenny’s attention, but with her focus averted towards the girls, she didn’t hear him. Perhaps the girls were bluffing, in light of what was done to his friends, knowing it would give him a sexual thrill at the danger of being eaten. They wouldn’t really let her do it, would they? After all, he had gotten along with all of them quite well over the semester.

“Well there was that one time…”

Oh No!  About a week into his relationship she caught him cheating with another woman.  She swore she would break up if he ever did that again and ever since he has been listening to her and trying to get on her good side.  He eventually did, but deep down he knew she would never truly forgive him.

“Well I’m sure if you take revenge through little Mark, you will be able to forgive big Mark. Why don’t you go ahead and eat him?”  Claire urged, seeing the panic in Mark’s face.   Giggling, Stephanie retrieved a bottle of chocolate syrup from the refrigerator.

Jenny thought she was doing the right thing because deep down she didn’t fully forgive Mark for cheating on her.  This could fix it.  She nodded her head a couple of times; each nod cemented her resolve.  She quickly closed her fist to re-imprison her little man and moved next to her friends. Perhaps this would be a way to finally forgive Mark, she thought.

Mark couldn’t believe what was happening. Things were moving too quickly for his little mind to comprehend. He just knew he had to somehow reason with Jenny. If he could get the engine in her brain working and overcome her inebriation, she could still be his sanctuary.

“Are you ready?”, Jenny said, looking down at him.  The other girls came up beside her, all six eyes peering down at Mark.

Coming out his stupor, Mark said responded…”eh, what?”

Claire leaned in closer and shouted, “SHE SAID -  ARE YOU READY?!!”  All the girls burst into laughter.

Mark knew that time was possibly running out for him – this might be his last chance. Summoning as much air into his lungs as possible , he looked up to Jenny and yelled up to her,  “Jenny for the love of God, it’s ME!!!  Mark!!!  The real one!!!”

The hand around Mark started to lessen the pressure slowly opening. Jenny looked at Claire and Stephanie. They both nodded their heads, encouraging her to disregard the tiny person.

“Here, he’ll taste even better with this on him”, Stephanie dribbled some chocolate syrup on him.

Mark closed his eyes as the syrup landed on top of his head and ran down the sides of his body, quickly engulfing him. He kneeled on Jenny’s palm under the pressure, though it lasted only a moment, Stephanie quickly closing the cap and setting the bottle on the counter. As he tried to clear the dark thick, sticky substance from his eyes and mouth, he felt his balance shift severely and he was suddenly tipped upside down.

Opening his eyes, he realized he was dangling from Jenny’s fingers over her huge open mouth. To her side, two other huge faces grinned from cheek to cheek. Mark could smell the alcohol on them as it wafted up to him.  The smell of alcohol started to get to him, he already felt a little light headed.  Thanks to the alcohol his girlfriend is about to do something disastrous to him.  If Mark could go back in time he would murder the man who invented alcohol. Chocolate syrup dripped off his body and into Jenny’s mouth below him.

“JENNY! DON’T LISTEN TO THEM. IT’S REALLY ME”, he pleaded, his eyes tearing up.

Jenny looked more carefully at Mark and squinted her eyes.  Mark held his breath as he waited forever for her to recognize him.  Then she slowly shook her head no.  “No you aren’t, I distinctly remember him being at least…” she eyed his size, “ten times larger than you.”

…Oh My God…

Looking at Stephanie with eyes full of terror Mark started to flail.  She doesn’t see me as a real person!, he realized. Before even another word was formed on his lips he was dropped carelessly.  Mark was in free fall for a split second before he hit the moist softness of Jenny’s tongue. He landed and quickly somersaulted into a position straddling her tongue, one leg on either side of the tongue which had curled up behind his back, pushing him face forward towards her throat.

Jenny took a moment to taste small Mark, “Mmmm, Mmmm”, she breathlessly exclaimed her approval, then with a quick shift of the muscles near the top of her mouth, she shifted him up as she involuntarily angled her head upwards, Mark sliding into her esophagus. With a large gulp, she swallowed him down.

Watching from the side, Stephanie and Claire watched the large lump travel down Jenny’s beautiful long throat. It was like watching a wave rippling on the beach, except in reverse.

“Ahhhh”, Jenny exhaled, sniffling with her nose as she righted her face, leveling it back to it’s normal position, “little Mark was delicious!”

“See, I knew you’d like it”, Stephanie giggled. As Jenny took a few more moments to collect her thoughts, Stephanie and Claire high-fived each other just out of her vision.

--

It was middle of early morning when Jenny felt a pressure on her abdomen. Jumping out of bed and rushing into the bathroom. She quickly squeezed out a couple of moist logs of waste. She took a minute to wipe herself.  Jenny just looked at the toilet bowl and felt a bit sick.  The girls had made her drink and take some funky food that would make her want to … she couldn’t remember.  She was about to flush when her stomach protested and then her memory came back of her swallowing Mark.  NO not Mark, little Mark.

She flushed the toilet and went back to bed.

--

The next morning, Jenny woke up with a killer headache and couldn’t remember a thing from last night.  She came downstairs where she found Claire and Stephanie both with similar headaches. The two had been discussing how tasty the food was the previous night. Jenny found it a little weird when they had both giggled at her agreement.

They all ate breakfast in silence until she broke the silence.  “Soooo, that was some party last night?”

“Yeah,” both of the others said at the same time.

“You know, it’s weird.  I can’t remember what happened last night.  Whatever happened, I now feel like I can forgive Mark for that one time he cheated on me.  You know the time we started dating.  I don’t know how, but whatever happened I feel like I can forgive him for anything.”

Both Stephanie and Claire grinned at each other remembering what happened.

“You know what - I’m giving him a call to tell him how much I love him.  What do you think he’s doing right now?”

Claire looked at Stephanie and looked back at Jenny, “You know, probably hanging out with his shitty friends somewhere close by.”
