(Same Day/10:30 PM/Monday)

The Crowd stood in shock. The emotion was written across their faces as the message that Victoria sent them was loud, clear and precise. Her dark violet eyes scanned the scene as a sly smirk crossed her lips as she took in the fear that shown itself across the regulars that stood before the execution. Not only that but she was sure that the same expression that these mindless sheep wore, was shared across the land that had the opportunity of viewing such a massacre.

Across the unknown island that housed this atrocity, viewed across the many screens of those who were unlucky enough to be inside to view the spectacle dressed their faces in expression that drowned in fear as well. Proving Victoria right, even though she was not there to witness these individual emotions full of hate, rage, and turmoil.

(In Frankie’s Apartment)

The Tall giantess couldn’t help but grit her teeth as she tore her eyes away from the screen. Turning her head to the side as she crossed her arms leaning back against the headboard of her bed. Her Turquoise eyes slowly reopened as she focused on her shirt, her thoughts lost on the event that just took place in front of her.

“This shit is so stupid.” She cursed as her eyes returned towards the large screen in front of her. “They didn’t even have to go that far.” She added as she forced herself up from her bed, quickly snatching the remote off the bed, pointing it towards the TV; quickly pressing the button to turn it off.

She took a deep breath; trying to calm herself down a bit. “Now this shit is going to be in my head and give me nightmares, ugh.” She groaned as she turned towards her bedroom door, grabbing the handle to open it. Her white socked covered feet, pressed against the carpet as she made her way towards her living room, she sighed as she flicked the light switch, revealing the empty canvas that lacked another human body, but saw stationed, a basic black-clothed sofa with a loveseat to match with a small glass table that sat in the center of it. Her eyes darted towards her plain white kitchen as she made her way towards the fridge.

"The shit that goes on here, just…." She opened the door to reveal the fridge being empty. "And I have no food in here…. Great.    ” She closed the door, slightly irritable at the fact that she didn’t have anything to eat. “How the fuck did I forget to stock up on a few things, I will never know.” She turned her back towards the fridge and leaned against it, placing her right hand on her temple. She took a deep breath. “If it wasn’t for me running into that tiny guy, then I probably would have remembered.” She told herself as she looked around for a moment and sighed again.

“Yep, I’m going out; to hell with this.” She said to herself as she quickly grabbed her headphones, placing them around her neck. Turning back and she grabbed her white canvas shoes; slipping them on, she walked out the door, closing it and locking it behind her.

It didn't take long for her to feel the dread and the tension that hovered above the outside area, over this eerie night. Her footfalls, barely sending vibrations through the reinforced concrete as she made her way down the sidewalk.

"Look at this place. "She gritted her teeth as she saw people arguing and fighting amongst each other, more regulars than anybody. "This place looks like some back alley, or like a riot is about to happen or something." She spoke to herself as she saw regulars shouting and cursing up at the large screen that showed them the horrors that would befall them all if they don't follow the rules that were laid out for them. "And these guys aren't going to make anything better, by shouting like that" She added as she continued to survey the scene.

“I HOPE YOU STUPID GIANTS ROT!” Frankie’s attention towards a crowd of regulars, tossing beers, chairs, drinks, food and anything else they could get their hands on at the large screen in front of them.

“GO TO HELL!!!!” Another regular shouted.

“WHO THE FUCK DO YOU MONSTERS THINK YOU ARE!?” The words were harsh and aimed at the screen, but Frankie couldn’t help but feel a ping of pain as they shouted their complaints.

“Monsters huh? Yea, you’re not lying about that.” She thought to herself as she chose to ignore the small crowd and continued her way, still lost in her thoughts. "I can't say I blame them for being so angry, it's not like they had a choice. Hell; none of us did." She continued to think as she made her way past a small intersection. "It's been hell ever since all of this even started. "She mumbled to herself as she turned her head to the left to see another small group of regulars, shouting and protesting against what just happened." Another deep breath escaped her lips as she closed her eyes and began to play her music.

Aerosmith could be heard playing through her headphones, as the famous chorus began to take over her ears.

My tea's gone cold

I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

Frankie’s eyes traveled in both directions as she took in the regulars screaming at the top of their lungs. Some of them continued yelling at the television, while the others were arguing with the giantess that were innocent and trying to defend not only themselves but show the regulars that they were on their side on the matter.

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray

But your picture on my wall

The night sky appeared a bit foggy, but with the moon shining brightly as a gentle but eerie breeze blew by, something that seemed like it was signaling the beginning of the end as Frankie continued on her path, turning a corner as she saw a giantess pinning down a riled up regular, who was desperately trying to fight her off.

"GET OFF ME BITCH!" She screamed at the top of her lungs as she continued to thrash about, swinging her arms for everything that her life was worth. "I SAID GET OFF OF ME!" She screamed again.

“NOT UNTIL YOU CALM DOWN!” The giantess spoke back to her, trying to desperately stop the regular from flailing about.

Frankie caught wind of the spectacle as the giantess quickly turned her head to see Frankie staring at them both. The giantess quickly took her hand away from the regular, causing the regular to get up and runoff, cursing as she disappeared.

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

My tea's gone cold

I'm wondering why I got out of bed at all

Frankie just stared at the two of them and quickly turned to walk away. "Mind your business, Frankie." She thought to herself as the giantess was shouting something behind her, but Frankie’s headphones blocked out the sound as she continued to ignore what she thought she was seeing. “It had nothing to do with you, just mind your business.” Her mind finished.

The morning rain clouds up my window

And I can't see at all

And even if I could it'd all be gray

Frankie made her way towards a local bar. The size of the building was huge in comparison to your average buildings but housed two entrances. A door meant for giantess and a door meant for regulars. There was nothing special about that local pub. It was your simple place that station pull tables, regular tables and an actual bar where people could be seated.

The bar itself was coed, both in size and gender. Regulars had their section as well as the giantess that entered, but there was also a section where both giantess and regulars could sit together.

But your picture on my wall

It reminds me that it's not so bad, it's not so bad

The music continued to play through Frankie’s headphones as she made her way in. Her Turquoise eyes searching for an empty seat as they barely glanced at one of the many large screens that were displaying the news for everyone to see.

As her eyes searched, she spotted a free table in the coed section of the bar that was sitting ways from TV. A quick breath of relief as she made her way towards it, only to realize that there was a regular sitting on top of it, seemingly lost in his thoughts.

Frankie couldn’t help but smirk as she quickly recognizes the regular sitting on top of the table. Making her way towards the table, surprising him as he did not see her coming.

Tory leaned back against a large saltshaker looking up at the screen. His expression seemingly troubled as he watched the horrific actions that took place on the big screen.

“So, this is life huh?” He asked himself as the reporter tried to report what was going on, but the sounds of regulars screaming amongst some giantess in the background overshadow her voice. “yeah, by the way, this looks we're all dead." He finished as a sighed a bit.

“Yea, it sure looks that way doesn’t it?” A female voice boomed behind him as he heard the chair at his table move backwards as he turned his head to see who the owner of the voice was. “What’s up Tiny? I didn’t think I would find you here.” She said as she placed her phone on the table, followed by her elbows as she looked down at him.

Tory stared at her for a moment as his mind took in her size as she towered over him, her fingers lightly drumming on the table. “What brought you here Tiny?’ She asked him. “Did those guys come back for you, or did you manage to stay out of trouble?" Her eyes peered down at him with curiosity. "I'm going to go ahead and say the ladder since you're sitting here out in the open." She ended as Tory continued to stare at her for a minute, before finally turning away from her.

"I'm surprised you saw me over here." He stated. "What brought you back over this side of town anyway? I thought you had your problems to deal with." He added as Frankie was ready to counter him.

"Oh, that's still bothering you?" She asked him as she grabbed her phone off the table and placed it in her pocket. "Ok, one; I do have a lot of issues going on and I'm sorry if you felt that I was being mean to you when I said that you couldn't stay, but on other the hand let's be real…. I did save your life from whatever was about to happen to you; even if I did get you a little dirty." She concluded as she stared down at Tory. “So, can you at least give me some credit for that.” Her words rung true as Tory couldn’t help but sigh in defeat as he turned his head back towards her.

"Yeah, you're right. Thanks for the save earlier, you didn't have to." He told her.

"Nah, don't worry about it." Frankie waved her hand as she dismissed the gratitude. "You look like you were scared for your life back there, I would have lost sleep if I let whatever that was go down like that," Frankie spoke to him as her eyes traveled from him up towards the TV screen.

"You aren't the mean type, are you?" Tory looked up at her.

Frankie’s eyes quickly shot down at him. “Don’t get me wrong Tiny, I can be one hell of an asshole, but bullying is something I don’t tolerate, no matter the size.” She returned as Tory nodded with a mutual understanding.

Silence fell between the two a bit before a large giantess waiter walked over to their table. Frankie took notice of her first as she made her way over in a pair of dark blue jeans, a pair of black shoes and a black T-shirt with the bar’s logo on the right shoulder. Her hair was down, and her glasses hung from her face with a few freckles sitting on both sides of her face.

“Hey, you guys ok?” She asked the two of them as she pulled out a pen and pad.

Both Frankie and Tory looked at each other for a split second before Frankie turned towards the giantess, nodding her head in approval. “Yeah, we’re good. We’re just sitting here, trying to get off the streets for a bit with everything going on.” Frankie told her.

“Yeah, after what just happened, I can only imagine how rough it is out there. I know the regulars must be in a full riot mode.” She told her. Frankie slightly rolled her eyes at the comment.

“Trust me, it’s more than you know.” Frankie returned as she looked at Tory sitting in front of her.

“So, did anyone help you guys? Did you need to order anything?” The girl asked as Frankie looked at Tory for a short moment before turning her head back to the giantess girl.

“Yea, let me get a Coke.” She told her, turning her attention back to Tory. “Anything you want Tiny?’ She asked him.

Tory’s eyebrow raised a bit. “Are you buying?’

“I asked did you want something didn’t I?” She countered.

“Noted…” Tory answered as he thought about it for a second. “A Sprite is fine.” He told her as Frankie turned her head back towards the giantess.

"Give the little guy a regular-sized Sprite for me." She told her as the giantess wrote down a few things before walking off, leaving the two alone once again.

"Are you buying or are you just going to make me pay for this later?" Tory asked her out of curiosity, as his suspicions got the best of him.

“I told you, I asked, didn’t I?” Frankie rolled her eyes as she leaned back in the chair, crossing her arms. “I got it covered, don’t worry about it Tiny.”

“Tory.” Tory corrected her.

“Tiny.” Frankie reiterated as Tory couldn’t help but just roll his eyes at the large giantess that sat behind him. “Anyway…” She changed the subject.

“If you don’t mind me asking, what the hell were those guys chasing you for anyway?” She continued leaning back in her chair, looking at him as Tory got ready to speak.

A deep sigh escaped his lips as he looked up at her. Her Turquoise eyes appeared to be scanning him. Her Dirty Blond hair draped over the sides of her face as it came to rest on her shoulders. Tory could see that on her right arm she sported a few tattoos that covered nearly all of it and her left arm was almost naked, opposite of that of her right.

She wore a few silver bracelets on her wrist along with some braided beads as well. Tory turned towards her and began to tell her his side of the story. “You want me to be honest with you?” he asked her.

"That would be appreciated," Frankie replied.

Tory reached in his beige cargo shorts pocket and pulled out a bag of supplements. “I stole their durability pills.” He simply told her, showing her as she looked down at him with a semi shocked expression on her face.

"You risked your life for a bunch of pills?" Frankie leaned forward, fully intrigued by Tory's confession. "No wonder those guys were chasing you, you do realize you put them in danger, right?"

“Hey, I got to survive somehow right.” He glanced up at her. "Besides I'm not as big as you, so it's not like I can defend myself against something your size. At least not with these." He ended as he stuffed the bag of pills back into his pockets.

"They don't give you the extra strength you know, if anything they just make you last longer, you won't break as easy…. Sounds like torture to me don’t you think?” She lowered her head down towards him. “I don’t know about you but must people your size would want a quick death.” She tilted her head a bit.

“I’m not must people.” Tory retorted.

“I didn’t say that you were?” Frankie returned.

Tory glanced back up at her, releasing a slight hint of frustration as he leaned back against the giant saltshaker as his brown hazel eyes moved towards Frankie. “I Just don’t want to die, that’s all.” He turned his attention back towards the large screen.

"Things have been crazy ever since I came to this place." He began. "Not only that, things here are much worse than back at home. No one has ever seen anything like this." He turned his attention towards Frankie. "Women your size, towering over everything. Some of them even getting a sick rush off killing other people, like nothing is wrong.” His small rant continued.

Frankie just peered down at him and listened to his complaints as Tory continued. "I mean come on, we're still fucking human right? Our size didn't change," He pointed up at Frankie. "You guys di….” Frankie’s eyebrow raised as Tory nearly finished his sentence, almost instantly regretting what he was about to say. “I mean…. Well…. Sorry man, no offense; but sometimes it's creepy when someone as big as you, looks down on you, and I mean earlier you stepped on me. That could have ended my life right then and there.” He sighed as he paused for a second. “I almost…Thought…It was.” He finished.

Frankie’s head tilted to the side once again. “You thought I was going to step on you for real?” Frankie asked him.

Tory didn’t have a quick response only just nodded his head to show that Frankie was right on the money. “Did you want me to?” A small smirk appeared on her face as Tory quickly looked up at her with a shocked expression on his face.

“Wha...What?” Tory stumbled over his words as Frankie couldn’t help but let out a small giggle at Tory’s reaction.

Seeing that Frankie was joking Tory took another deep breath and slightly calmed down. "You have to lighten up Tiny." Frankie began.

“Tory…” Tory tried to correct her again.

“I like tiny better.” She countered.

Tory just stared at her with a blank expression, but Frankie paid it no mind. “Besides, not all of us are alike. Like I told you earlier, I saved you, didn't I? You're here, unharmed, you may have some dirt on you thanks to the bottom of my shoe, but regardless of that, you're still alive." Frankie explained. "And when you think about it, I wasn't the one that was trying to take you out. That was people your size. Not a giantess." She told him as Tory continued to stare at her before returning his gaze towards the large screen, forcing himself to catch the image of the regulars rioting at the horrible sight they had witnessed earlier.

“Don't get me wrong Tiny, they're good giantess and there are bad ones, just like there are good people and bad people. Not everybody is a psychopath out for blood." She spoke as she too turned her attention towards the TV screen. "I will admit though, as a giantess you do get a rush of power. The thought of being stronger than everyone that stands in your way is a pretty good feeling, but something like that doesn't get the best of me, not like other giantesses." She made her statement as Tory looked up at her.

“So,” Tory gulped lightly as he tried to choose his next words well. “Have you…You know.” Frankie turned her attention back towards him as Tory struggled to find the words to finish his question. “Have you.,. Well, have you….”

"Killed someone?" Frankie finished for him as if it wasn't a big deal. "Yeah, I have," Frankie answered honestly. "I've killed a few regulars since I've been here actually." Her words flowed smoothly, like it was something natural to say.

Tory couldn’t believe his ears as his heart suddenly dropped as he was face to face with one of the giantesses that he just recently spoke about and here she is, admitting that she had done a few regulars in.

Tory couldn’t help by trying to slide away from her, but Frankie just kept her eyes on him, a smirk remaining on her face as Tory’s expression displayed a mixture of shock and fear. “Seriously…” He breathed as Frankie just nodded as the waitress returned with both of their drinks on a tray. Landing Frankie’s on the table first, followed by her carefully pinching her fingers together and placing the regular size Sprite in front of Tory.

“Here you guys go, sorry for the wait.” She apologized to the two.

Frankie turned her head towards the waitress and smiled. “No, we’re fine, thanks.” She assured her as the waitress gave Frankie a head nod and walked off, leaving Tory alone with Frankie once again.

Looking down at the regular sitting in front of her, her smirk faded a bit as she leaned in to take a sip of her Ice-cold Coke. "You look scared Tiny." She told him as he could see the stream of Coke enter the straw and into her mouth and down her throat. "You tongue-tied or something." She added as she took a break from sipping her drink and leaned back in her chair once again.

Tory couldn’t fathom what he had gotten himself into. He sat there in the presence of a giantess that saved him a few hours ago. Who knew that she would be murderous like the rest of them? The same giantess that scared off the gang of thugs that were trying to take him out, is the same giantess that just admitted to murdering regulars, like it was something so natural, that it was nothing.

"Don't get me wrong Tiny," Frankie broke his concentration. "I had my reasons, I don't do things for the sheer thrill of it, but you do have regulars that seem to take things to the extreme and try to target every giantess because they're…Well, giantess." She finished her explanation.

“What do you mean?’ Tory asked her curiously.

"Think about how extreme religious groups are when people don't follow their code of honor," Frankie answered as Tory continued to stare up at her. "Or the other battles that go on in the world because people live in fear of one another," Frankie explained.

"So, you're saying that there are regulars that extremist towards Giantess?” Tory asked her, trying to comprehend what she is saying.

"I wouldn't be surprised if there was a big group of regulars that live here that operate that way," Frankie stated as she looked up at the TV screen, crossing her arms as she eyed the replay of the execution that took place in front of everyone. "And I'm sure they won't be happy with what just happened." She ended as Tory looked up at the screen himself, feeling an ominous chill slightly creep down his spine as the words of Frankie slinked in his head.

“This place that we’re in Tiny, this huge island that’s painted to look like a pretty concentration camp, is nothing more than a trial and error, an experiment that the government cooked up trying to start another war later down the line. Too bad we’re the lab rats.” She sighed a bit, leaning her head back looking up at the ceiling. “Yeaaa, too bad we’re the lab rats.”

"At least that's what I think anyway," Frankie stated as Tory never took his eyes off the TV screen.

“You know what…I don’t think you’re wrong." Tory's eyes remained glued on the TV as the image of the regular-sized humans remained as the riots and words could be seen with each passing scene. The posters, the yelling, the screaming, the execution that just happened, just planted the seed of anger.

(Same Time/10:30 PM/Monday)

Alex couldn’t believe what she had just witnessed, not only that; her heart ached at the scene that just transpired as Victoria finished her “warning” towards the island’s occupants.

“Alex...Alex…” A voice came from the receiver of the phone that Alex held to her ear. “Did you just see what the fuck just happened?” The dismayed female voice spoke as Alex was breathing slowly, trying to take in what she just forced herself to watch.

“Ava…What the fuck is going on here?” Alex replied slowly. “What the hell do they have us living in?” She questioned again as the screen remained on the gruesome that Tanya had created under Victoria’s orders, before cutting to the crowd of regulars and few giantesses that were not shy about displaying their displeasure about what just took place.

Ava took a deep breath before words came out of her mouth as a response. “Hell Alex, that’s all this is, not just for us, but for the regulars that are trapped here with us as well.” She took another deep breath before continuing. “That’s why I need you to be nice to the little guy, wait…. He didn’t see what just happened did he?” She asked her as Alex quickly tore her eyes away from the TV and quickly peaked outside of her room to see that Jaden was still on the living room floor, sleeping due to Alex's previous greeting and the shock of adjusting to everything around him.

“No, the squirt is passed out in the living room.” Alex made her way back into her room, sitting down on her bed. “He’s probably tired from his first day being here and…

“Alex, I know you didn’t leave him on the floor.” Ava cut her off in mid-sentence.

“What do you mean, I left him there?” Alex countered. “He’s the one that chose to pass out on the floor I can’t help it if…”

"Knowing you, it was probably you that put him there, to begin with, can you please stop being a bitch and just put him in his room?" Ava rolled her eyes. "Damn, it’s already going to be a lot for the little guy to take in when he wakes up. Can you at least not be like the giant bitch we just saw on our TV screen?” Ava opposed. "The last thing I need is for the little guy to be scared of you because you decided that you wanted to scare him out of the place, and he starts acting like these other regulars here.” She finished.

“You’re making it seem like I’m a bitch already.” Alex retorted as a slight grunt escaped her lips as she pushed herself off her bed and made her way towards the living room.

“That’s because you act like one.” Ava followed up. “How many regulars have you scared out of rooming with you, forcing them out to find somewhere else to stay?”

"Idk, I could ask you the same thing," Alex grunted once again. "You're not exactly the innocent princess you make yourself out to be you know." Alex bare sole slapped against the carpet as she found herself only a few steps away from where Jaden was laying.

“Just shut up and go get him and put him in his room, and I don’t mean just open the door and toss him in, put him in his bed," Ava ordered as Alex rolled her eyes as she reached down and gently grabbed the unconscious regular.

"Can you lay off "Mom" I know how to handle a regular," Alex argued.

“Tell that to the last couple of regulars that came around you," Ava stated as Alex didn’t even take Jaden to his room, but instead walked back towards her own.

“Those guys we’re fucking weirdos Ava and you know it. Hell, no I didn’t want those regulars around me, hell you wouldn’t even take them., stop giving me the third degree here.” Alex finished as she walked back into her room and grabbed a pair of clean socks out of her dresser. “You make it seem like I just walk around, and crush people and you know that’s not me.” Alex lightly growled.

“Look,” Ava came back. “I just don't want the little guy to get hurt ok.” Ava pressed as her voice rose a bit catching Alex off guard for a second. "There's a lot of good people here Alex, but that doesn't matter because some Psycho bitch just has to crush them and cause the others to hate us like it's our fault, I don't want that Psycho bitch to be you just because you didn’t want to have a roommate.

Alex sighed as she laid one clean sock on the top of her dresser and then gently laid Jaden on top of it, followed by another clean sock she used to cover half his body like a blanket. "Ava you don't have anything to worry about ok." Alex tried to assure her as she made her way back to her bed. “I’m not going to hurt the little guy, I’m not like these other giantesses.” She breathed as the back of her head hit the pillow as she continued to hold her phone up to her face, her eyes staring at the ceiling as she reached for the remote, pressing a button to turn the TV off.

“Alex…. This whole thing has me worried.” Alex could hear Ava’s Tv turn off as well as she heard her get in her bed. “I mean this is seriously getting out of hand, this was nothing like they said it was going to be…This is just the worst.” Alex could hear a slight crack in Ava’s voice as she spoke.

Alex couldn’t help but nod her head at Ava’s statement and thought about what happened in her head. “I don’t know what’s going on Ava, or what’s going to happen, but at the end of the day, you got me, and I got you.” A small smile appeared on Alex's face as she spoke those words. "I don't know what these people have in store for everyone here, but I do know that no one is coming near us again, what happened back then, will not happen anymore. That you can promise." Alex tried to assure her friend, gaining a slight giggle from Ava on the other side of the phone.

“You know, you can be sweet when you want to….” Ava took a deep breath before she tried to speak again. “I know Alex and thank you; I know that we got each other’s back, but for some reason, this whole thing just has me on edge.” Alex could hear her pulling the covers over her.

“You and me both,” Alex stated as she turned her attention to the yells and screams coming out from outside her window. She could hear the angry regulars strongly voicing their opinions as they continued to show their displeasure towards the new law that was placed.

"Lockdown is tomorrow and that means, nobody in and nobody out." Alex sighed. "It's going to be a long day…. It’s going to be a long day.” She rolled over and thought about something as silence took over the conversation for a moment. "Hey, Ava…," Alex called to her best friend.

“Yea,” Ava simply responded.

“Do you ever think we’ll go home?" Alex's question rang in Ava's ears as Alex could hear the silence grow between the two as she waited for Ava to respond. 

“I don’t know Alex; I don't know." Ava quietly answered as Alex could hear her voice crack once again as Alex finally deduced that her best friend was starting to cry on the other end of the phone, sharing the same frustration that her friend has Alex could understand and sympathize with and with that…A tear streamed down her face at the looming fact of the screwed up future that they both were looking towards, with no way out.

(Same Day/11:45 PM/Monday)

Victoria stood walked off as the cleanup crew came in and began to clean up the mess that Tanya left for the public to see.

She pulled out a cigarette and calmly lit it as a loud jingle could be heard as she reached up to her ear and pressed a button on her Bluetooth headset that hung on her right ear.

“You may speak.” She answered the call as she paused for a few seconds before she spoke again. “Yes, it went off without any problems.” She followed up as she paused once again as a small smile appeared on her face as she brought the cigarette to her mouth and inhaled it. “I swear you worry too much sometimes, don’t add stress to the situation, it’s been taken care of, I promise…. They won’t even know what hit them.” She finished as her smile slithered into a sinister smirk as she brought her cigarette to her mouth once again, inhaling once more. “You can count on that.”
