Jacob pulled into a parking space and shut off the car. "What's she like? I've never met her" he asked Mai who was in the passenger seat. "I've never met her either. I only know what I've been told. Smart, cunning, and ruthless. For a human, her magic talent is top of the line" she said. "So, she can use magic like you?" he asked. "No. She relies on arcane and a special stone in her ring" she replied. "Really? Doesn't sound that threatening to me" he said opening the car door. Mai yanked him back down in his seat by the collar. "There is NOBODY in this world more knowledge about arcane than she is. Her body count is in the thousands and can migrate her soul into another body making her nearly immortal. You disrespect her, and you will end up either a stain under her sole or her next meal. You WILL show her the upmost respect. Do not make me raise our child without a father" she said. He saw fear in her eyes. "...okay then. Duly noted" he said getting up again.

As the made their way to the lobby entrance, the air in front of them shimmered. "A barrier spell" Mai muttered. She took ahold of Jacob's hand and pulled him through. He felt strange, lightheaded with the desire to leave. Mai moved her fingers before touching his forehead. "Wha...what happened?" he asked bewildered. "A warding barrier placed by her no doubt. An effort to discourage people from entering" she replied. She locked down the entire hotel?!" Jacob asked astounded. Mai pointed to arcane drawn on the pillars near the entrance. "Scattered around the perimeter. Probably not written in her blood" she said. "Who's..."

"Look around. See any other patrons? It's the height of vacation season and it's just that receptionist. So where is everyone?" she asked. Jacob was beginning to dread meeting Ebony. "Excuse me?" Mai asked the woman. "Ah. You're here for mistress Ebony. Room 108" she said without Mai needed to finish her question. Jacob waved his hand in front of her face. No reaction. "Creepy..." he muttered. The got into the elevator and took it to the first floor. It was oddly quiet in the hallway. Not even a maid was seen. They got to the room and knocked. "Enter!" a voice shouted. Mai opened the door and they both froze. Ebony sat on the edge of her bed in nothing but a bath robe. John busy looking at tv and Danica on her phone sitting in an adjacent bed. On the floor though was dozens, maybe a hundred shrunken humans all naked and not one over two inches tall. "Right on time. I do like punctuality. Care for coffee?" she asked them. They both silently nodded as not to offend her. 

"Come. Sit. Oh, don't mind them. I figured that I might as well put these humans to use while we stay here" she said looking at them tip toe around the humans scurrying on the floor. "Mom shrank the hotel guests and had some come by" Danica said snickering. Mai and Jacob sat in chairs at the small table in the corner. Jacob pored a cup and sat it down. Cream and sugar?" Ebony asked. "Please" he replied. Ebony looked worried for a brief moment before snapping her fingers. Instantly, two humans disappeared in a flash on the floor and reappeared in front of the cup of coffee. A man and pregnant woman of similar age. With not a word spoken, the pregnant woman began to climb the hot cup. Cringing as her feet and belly were burned, she hung over the side and began milking her breasts. Of course, due to her size, she was fully spent within seconds. The man climbed behind her knocking her backwards onto the table and climbed into the steaming cup. He yelled in pain as he was scalded. Ebony snapped her fingers once more and the man turned white. Jacob held his breath as he seemingly melted into the coffee. "There. Breastmilk and human sugars to sweeten it" she said smiling. Jacob picked up a spoon and stirred. He was unnerved at how good it tasted.

"That's didn't frighten you now did it?" she innocently asked. He was smart enough to know this was a test. Jacob picked up the still hurting woman and put her in his mouth. Drinking a sip of coffee, he washed her right down his throat. "Not at all my mistress" he said raising the cup as to salute her. Ebony laughed. "I like him. Is he the father of your child?" she asked Mai. "He is my mistress" she replied. Ebony nodded. "Nothing wrong with humans mating...as long as they show worth. I myself have borne fruit" she said gesturing to Danica. Jacob gave Danica a deeper look. He admitted to herself that she was cute. How she played on her phone but at the same time had humans worshipping her feet. One foot propped up as they cleaned her heel and the other pressed down on a few hapless servants. Danica glanced at Jacob. She snatched up a random person at her feet, a teenage boy, and loudly ate him while smiling. "Don't mind her. Precocious at that age" Ebony said. Danica licked her lips at him. John eyed Jacob with contempt.

"And that's her fiancée John. They will merge our bloodlines and cement our alliance" she said to Mai. John politely nodded to her and went back to watching BBC. "I take it you are sure it will occur within two days?" Mai asked. "Prophecy arcane has told me so. Xaimei has said she will send 30 of her best soldiers to guarantee nothing goes wrong" Ebony said batting around a few humans with her feet. "You're going to need more than that" Jacob said taking another sip of coffee. "Explain what you said" she said narrowing her eyes. "Well um.... they’re forming an army as we speak" he said. "Pfft...a borrower army is of no consequence" she said waving her hand. "They're armed with magical weapons" he said softly. She used her power to turn his head. "Maybe you should've led with that" she hissed. Jacob found himself shrunk on the floor surrounded by the humans he towered over just moments ago. Her rosy sole dangling right above him. Her giant toes cracked. "He meant no disrespect!" Mai shouted.  Ebony barely paid Mai any mind as he brought her big toe down on Jacob pinning him to the carpet. The smell of lavender lotion still on her feet permeated his body. He instinctively used his hands to stop her toe from pressing down further. He could feel the prints on the pad of her toe as it effortlessly overpowered his arms.

"His nonchalant attitude is disrespect enough" Ebony said. A tense moment as Ebony pivoted her foot. "For your sake I hope you have more to offer" she told him. "I... I do" he croaked out. She took her toe off him. "Lily armed them with some kind of magic shooting gun. Supposedly they can fire spells with the pull of the trigger" he said. "How many of these guns does she have?" Ebony asked tapping her toe next to him. "Hundreds probably. She had three shoeboxes full of the little things" he replied. "And how big is this army of her's?" she asked. "I don't know. I don't know I swear! At least a hundred signed up when I left last night. There was still a long line last I looked" he said. Ebony uncrossed her legs revealing her bare cunt. His blood ran cold as he could make our bodies hanging out of it. "I take it you'll find out more won't you?" she asked. Jacob got off the carpet and bowed before her toe. "Of course, my mistress" he said kissing her toenail. Ebony slyly smiled and snapped her fingers growing him back. "I expect more results this evening. If not..." she said moving her toe over a random human on the floor. Jacob looked down just as he saw her crush the life out of a young girl. Ebony grinded her body under her toe like she was snuffing out a cigarette.

"Is there anything else you require of us?" Mai asked nervous. "Hmm...nope. I know Keith and his brood aren't here yet but I'm counting on him to show. You've told me already about Claire" she replied. "And Lily is powerless now" Jacob said. Ebony narrowed her eyes. "Since that is good news...I won't punish you for not bring that up earlier. Mai, I suggest you teach your human mate the need for full disclosure when doing business. You may go" Ebony said waving them away. Mai and Jacob couldn't leave fast enough. "Mom that was mean. She nearly peed herself when you were threatening to squish him.... between the toes you little shits" Danica said to those at her feet. "Even for those who serve me, respect will be maintained. Even more so the need. John, get ahold of your sister. Tell her we need more troops" Ebony said. John nodded and pulled his phone out.

He sat at Danica's feet and cruelly flicked off humans, who were rubbing her toes, to their deaths. He propped the phone into the crook of his shoulder and rubbed her feet himself. "Xaimei? Yeah, there's been a development. We need more troops. As many as you can spare" he said. There was a pause as he listened. "Well we got word they're raising a magically armed army. You can laugh but Ebonheart doesn't find it funny. Do you wish for me to tell her that? Uh huh. Yeah, please do" he said hanging up. "Problem?" Ebony asked. "...no. Xaimei said she can send an additional 300 more. The rest are tied up with the first leg of the operation" he said tossing the phone on the nightstand. "You're in a mood" Ebony noted. "Your daughter was flirting with him. Bad enough I'm delegated to being a gopher now she dishonors me in public" he said.

"Well, you can't use magic and you have no talent for arcane" Ebony said. Danica snickered at him. "You take off your panties" Ebony said to her daughter. "Beg your pardon?" Danica asked. "You heard me. I agree that your flirtations with the boy was disrespectful. It's high time you learn your role. A respectful daughter, a wife...and mother. Now take off your panties" she commanded. Danica looked downtrodden as she did. "Don't bother with a condom this time John" Ebony said playing with humans at her feet. John chuckled as she took off his pants and underwear. "John...John I was just fucking around" she said as the man climbed on top of her. He lined his cock up and shoved it in roughly. She yelped in pain as she wasn't even wet yet as he began pistoning in and out of her. "It's hurts...you're hurting me..." she whined trying to push him off her.  She pulled her leg back and pressed her foot into his chest. John grabbed her ankle and sucked her toes. She cried out softly as he bit them. "Please...please..." she begged him. John slowed down. He let go of her foot.

Their eyes met. He saw the pain and fear in hers. She saw the humiliation in his. He wiped her tears away and gently fucked her. His hand on her chest, he sighed as he came deep inside her. John pulled out and put his clothes back on. "Hope you both learned something there. Respect is necessary for a relationship to work. Being a brat or a prideful asshole won't cut it" Ebony said looking at a human being smothered under her sole. Danica didn't dare say what was on her mind. "Only you can turn a rape into a life lesson" she thought. "Danica. Go to the ice machine. Get some for us" Ebony told her. Danica pulled up her panties even though semen still leaked out of her. She left the room and walked down the hallway. Her bare feet felt heavy as it stepped on the fine carpet. A door was ajar as she got near and she peeked in. She wished she hadn't. Inside was a carpet stained in blood and a cat licking its paws. Scraps of flesh clung to its claws. Judging by the luggage on the floor, it was a family that had stayed in the room.

When they arrived, Ebony used the Philosopher ring to shrink almost everyone there. When that was done, she summoned the closest ones near their room. Some had not heeded the call though for unknown reasons. Possibly due to fae ancestry in their bloodlines protecting them. Be as it may, those were trapped in their rooms. In this case, someone's cat had entered the room and found a father, mother, and by the looks of the pink little suitcase, a young daughter. The cat did what came naturally. It hunted. It made quick work of the defenseless shrunken family devouring them mercilessly. Danica closed the door. For years, she had reveled in the power her mother had given her over others. Doted on her in many ways and all she said in return was "I'll be you one day". Danica didn't know what that meant until years later. Now as the time approached, she had a kind of "buyer’s remorse". She played it off thinking it wasn't that bad sharing a body with someone she loved. But this year, her mother's cruelty had increased.

Killing shrunken humans was a pastime for both of them. Hell, it was a bonding moment. But Ebony, she made the cruelest sport of it. Separating children from parents. Eating them as their mothers and fathers watched. Making them lick her feet when they were the smelliest and nastiest they could be. And what did Danica do? The same thing as it was expected of her. Simply put, Danica had limits. Ebony didn't. Finding solace in her future sister in law proved fruitless as Xaimei was possibly colder than Ebony. Did Xaimei love her? Maybe but if it came down to choosing who, Danica would be the clear loser. And in this relationship, losing had its own risks.

The clinking of ice in the bucket was on deaf ears for her. Her mother sanctioned her raping. She even watched. All to teach her a lesson. Danica began to have serious doubts about how much her mother truly cared for her. Was she her cute precious daughter or just a future vessel for her soul?

Meanwhile at the estate...

"So where is everyone?" Keith asked looking around after putting the suitcases down. "Mom is resting with her friend. Claire and Aspen is in the colony with Rebecca. Elena is wrapped up in setting up the concert tonight" Rose replied shutting the door. "Concert?" Keith asked. "With tensions so high, Elena figured a concert would help blow off steam" she replied looking at her phone. "Something wrong?" Keith asked seeing her irritated face. "Trying to get ahold of Jacob. It's still slightly early but he should be awake by now. He promised to be here today" she said. "Keith. Can you set me down? I need to feed Yuusha" Hikari said. "Sure thing" he said placing her on the living room table. "My manners. Miss Hikari, your room is ready if you wish to relax. Yours too Keith and Lawan" Rose said. "We'll be up shortly" Lawan said sitting next to Hikari. "If you can, I want to see the others" Keith said. "Sure, right this way" Rose said to him. They paused at the sunroom to take off their flats and sandals.

"Damn it's lively" Keith said taking small steps. "Should've seen it yesterday. The roads were clogged with people moving cargo, getting emergency tents set up, and signing onto mom's army" Rose said putting her bare foot down gently and cautiously. "How many did sign up?" Keith asked. "Initially, around 700 but we weeded it down. Some too young or too old, pregnant, crippled. Keith, I saw a girl no older than 10 wearing ungodly amounts of makeup and high heels just to throw us off thinking she was older. Everyone wants in on this fight" she said. "It's the borrower way. Living in a community, it's every borrower's job to defend it. Predators don't pick and choose its meal based on age or infirmity. They chose based on opportunity and safety. A 10-year-old boy is just as tasty as a 20-year-old one" he said.

"But aren't borrowers that are pregnant or going through puberty in greater danger? They smell better right?" she asked. "They are but a pregnant borrower armed with a shard of glass or a sleeping 20-year-old male? Predators will go for the male in that case. Predators aren't stupid. I myself began learning to defend myself when I was 8. How far I've come..." Keith mused. "And they put their kids in danger?" Rose asked. "Oh god no. No, we try to keep them out of harm’s way at all cost. We just make sure that if an all-encompassing threat could happen, even the young ones are prepared to deal with it" he explained. Rose looked out among the colony. "They're my family Keith. I grew up around them. My best friend's house is right over that way. I don't want them in danger like this" Rose said biting her lip. "A prayer we all have said this week. You saw that Lawan and Hikari brought my kids with them" he said. "Why?" Rose asked. Keith scratched his head.  "Truthfully, and keep this to yourself, that's not what worries me. What worries me is both said they felt compelled to bring their children. Like they have this eerie faith nothing will happen to them" he said.

Rose and Keith made their way to Rebecca's and Thomas's house. Keith reached down and removed their roof. "Fi fie fo fum! I smell the blood...of people I love" he said grinning. They were utterly shocked by the sudden intrusion and Keith plucked Aspen right off the couch. Holding her between his fingers, he chuckled at her expression. "You big dummy! What's the big idea of scaring us half to death?!" she yelled. "What? I'm just picking juicy ripe berries. Oh.,.this is a juicy one. Smells good too" he said sniffing her. Aspen looked at him and burst out crying. "I missed you too" he said cuddling her. "Two more days" he said kissing her plump belly. He picked up Claire. "Haven't forgot you either. Not that I ever could" he said kissing her. He placed them back on the sofa. "You gonna share that love with me too?" Rebecca asked. Keith gently picked her up. "Plenty to spread around. Damn you're ready to pop too. God you smell delicious" he said sniffing her. "Making a woman blush" Rebecca whispered. "Ahem" Claire coughed. "Ah, one moment" he said placing her back down and putting the roof back on. Keith shrank down and entered the home.

He sat down to relax a moment. "Tired?" Aspen asked turning to face him on the couch after Claire got up. "You have no idea. Globetrotting to find allies. Brokering a peace deal with rogue Mogwai. Evacuating an entire city. If you hear a scraping sound, that's just my ass dragging" Keith sighed. "Too tired to hold him?" Claire asked holding their son. "Never" Keith said holding his arms out. "Hiya buddy. It's daddy. Daddy missed you" Keith said cradling him in his arms. He stroked his son's cheek with the back of his finger. "That mop of blonde is coming in" Keith said. "Grandma said he might have magical abilities" Claire said sitting next to him. "Just like mommy" he said kissing Luke. Claire squeezed his shoulder touched by the sight. "Got another kid. Remember Hikari?" Keith said. They looked at him shocked. "My reaction too" he muttered. "Can't keep it in your pants huh?" Aspen asked annoyed. "Hey, I'm surrounded by beautiful...no I'm not going to crack a joke about that. Every girl I've had sex with I have loved truly. I'd think you of all people would've seen that" he said quietly.

"I didn't mean it that way" Aspen said softly. "Yeah...you did. I'm no deadbeat father Aspen. I love every one of my kids and their mothers. I'd give my life for any of them. In two days, it might come down to that" he warned. The room was silent except the sound of Keith cooing at his son. Then, he and Rebecca cringed. "Whew! How can something the size of a grain of rice make such a stink! Claire, it must be horrible for you" Keith chuckled. He stopped chuckling as he saw she wasn't cringing. "Guess you're used to it huh" he asked. "I not a borrower anymore. Don't have the sensitive nose like I used to. Hand him over and I'll change him" she said. He watched her leave the room. "Not a borrower anymore? Hell does that mean? It's not a club you can just quit" he said. "Claire absorbed the powers of Pelé since you've been gone. She's a full-fledged fae now" Aspen said.     

"Is that why she's been acting...aloof?" he asked. "It takes a degree to control her emotions now. I'm sure she wants to fuck your brains out right now" she replied. "Aspen!" Rebecca yelled. "It's the truth. Her panties were wet" Aspen said pointing to the wet spot on the couch. "The feeling is mutual, you included. Rebecca, you're ready for your next kid?" Keith asked. Rebecca propped her legs and feet on the couch. "Number three. Ready as I'll ever be. This one is more difficult as Thomas hasn't been home as much as he used to. Long hours at the docks" she said. Keith placed her feet in his lap. "He's doing it for your sake I'm sure" he said starting to rub her soles.

"I know. With Claire living in the main hose with Aspen, I get a little lonely" Rebecca said. "You should've said something. We could visit more often" Aspen said. "I didn't want to be a bother honey" Rebecca said laying back slightly. Aspen took ahold of her other foot. "You're not a bother mom" Aspen said. Rebecca bit her lip as she shed a tear. "I like it when you call me that" she whispered. "Then I'll do it more often too. You entrusted me with two of the most important people in your life over and over for years. Now I'm married to your daughter. You earned the right and respect" Aspen said kissing her toes. "Sweetie...my feet are sensitive now..." Rebecca said. Aspen grinned as she sucked her big toe into her mouth and playfully bit it. "Ah! Stop that...stop...oh..." Rebecca groaned. Keith entered the fray licking between her toes. "What did I do to deserve this?!" Rebecca howled. "Just being in our lives Rebecca" Keith said taking her toes out of his mouth to speak. "I love you two so much. I'm more fortunate that a borrower should be" Rebecca said softly.

Keith got up to kneel before her. "We all deserve the most happiness in life either it be human, borrower or whatever. You're no exception Rebecca Thimblekin" he said kissing her gently. "I see why you have so many babies" Rebecca chuckled. "If you two are done seducing my mom, we can go on an errand" Claire said entering the room. Keith and Aspen nodded and left the house. "So, I hear you got some pretty powerful magics now" Keith said. Claire grew into a giantess before them. She picked them both up and placed them on her shoulders. "You could say that" Claire said. "Where we going?" Aspen asked. "To see dad. Mom has a point about him being out a lot" Claire replied walking barefoot through the narrow streets. "I've never seen it so congested. Look out!" Claire yelled as she nearly crushed a man under her foot. He waved sorry and rushed to the other side of the street. "Weird as hell being on the other side of this" she hissed. "I think you're doing good being a benevolent giantess. You're not eating anyone or squashing the helpless masses under your magnificent feet" Keith laughed. Claire permitted herself a chuckle. Claire made it to the docks and found her father sitting on a small box drinking water. He smelled her feet before he saw them. "Honey what brings you here? Is your mother okay?!" he asked worried she went into labor.

"She's fine dad. Why don't you knock off for the day and go home?" she asked. "Plenty to do. These crates need to be sorted. Those boxes rushed to shelters. Dry foods indexed and distributed to shelter leaders. That doesn't even cover the evacuation procedures" he replied sighing. "Mom's lonely dad" Claire said. Thomas stopped drinking. He looked at his daughter's shiny red painted toenails. "I know baby. Daddy knows. Every instinct screams for me to be right with her right now. Just like it was when she was having you. I have responsibilities Claire not just to her" he said waving his hand at the boxes. "Delegate. God knows I got wrapped up in projects and shit, but I made sure I didn't neglect to spend time with Aspen, Ritchie, or even Claire when she was still giving me the icy glares. We're near zero-hour Thomas. Don't spend it on checklists and inventories" Keith said down to him. "...she's that lonely?" Thomas asked. "Mom was trembling when she said it" Claire replied. Thomas stood up and rubbed her big toe. "Guess I am being absent minded. Lost sight of what's really important. Thanks kids for setting this old man straight" he said turning to leave. Claire sighed and walked off into the grassy plain nearby. Once further out, she sat down and extended her legs.

"Look at them. So carefree and happy" Claire said pointing to a group of borrower kids playing 20 ft. away. "I want to protect that happiness" she said as her hair began changing into a shimmering crimson. She placed Keith and Aspen on the ground. "Grandma said that 80% of the kids here were born in this colony. They grew up around friendly giants and giantesses. Not having to worry about cats or hawks or any predator. No need to forage for food" Claire whispered. "Isn't that what we all want for kids? A better life?" Aspen asked. Claire petted her head with her finger. "It is. For Luke. For Kannika. Yuusha and Hope" Claire replied. "Hope?" Keith asked. "The name I chose for our daughter" Aspen replied patting her belly. "An auspicious name. I like it" Keith smiled. "Hmm...looks like we got company" Claire said seeing the kids coming towards them.

"Hello" Claire said smiling gently to them. Three boys and two girls stood at her right side. A few looked similar to one another in looks and age (9). "You're the princess right?" a girl asked. "You're thinking of Rose sweetie" Claire said. The girl shook her head. "No, not that one. You're the one with the pretty magic" she said. She pointed at her hair. "Can I touch it?" she asked innocently. Claire plucked her right up and placed the inch and a half child in her palm. She brought her up to her head near her hair. The girl took a strand of hair in her hands and felt it. She had never seen such pretty hair before in her young life. It was warm and soft to the touch like freshly baked bread. Shimmered in the sunlight like rubies and pulsed as if it had a heartbeat. "I wanna touch! Me too!" the rest yelled. Claire sat the first one down and scooped up the rest with both hands. The kids oohed and awed touching her hair. She sat them back down minutes later. "Something wrong?" she asked seeing frowns on the two girls' faces.

"I wish I was pretty as you" one said softly. the girls were scoping out her hair and chest. The boys were scoping everything about her from her eyes and breasts right down to her giant toes. Claire blushed. "You're pretty in your own way. Both of you" Claire said. "...no, I'm not" the girl said looking down at her dirty feet. "Yes, you are. Let me get a better look at both of you" she said picking them up once more. Claire gently petted the tiny girl with her finger. I wish I had your eyelashes. And you? I wish I had your smile. And for both, I wish I smelled that good. That sweet yummy smell. Can I eat you two?" Claire asked. "No, you can't eat us!" one yelled. "Kidding sweetie. Once I wished I was prettier. I was a few years older than you and I knew a girl I wished I was just as pretty. She had bigger boobs, prettier feet, better hair. I was very...intimidated by her looks. But you know what happened?" Claire asked. "No, what?" the other asked.

"She said I was the cutest girl she ever seen. She saw beauty where I didn't. I think that's when I started loving her" Claire replied. "You'll grow older (God willing) and you'll change. Your boobies will grow. Fuller hair and nice pretty feet but what's important is you see the beauty in yourself. You're pretty and you're pretty. And the boys down there are heartbreaker level handsome. Like the Tin Man, Scarecrow, and Cowardly Lion from the Wizard of Oz, you're wishing for something you already have" she said placing them back on the ground. "Now go play. You're making me hungry for bite sized children. RAWR!" Claire growled. The children giggled and scampered off. One stopped and turned around. "What happened to girl?" she asked. "I married her" Claire replied. the girl smiled and ran to join her friends. Claire leaned back and placed Keith and Aspen on her belly.

"I didn't know you were jealous of me back then" Aspen said. "Well I was" Claire said. "I was like 11! Tall and lanky!" Aspen giggled. Claire cocked her head to look at her. "You were adorable and you know it" Claire said narrowing her eyes. "Claire, all I had was grandma and you. If I was adorable, it was because you two believed that" Aspen said as she made her way to her face. Claire's giant tits leaked milk through her shirt. "I wished I was like you. Long blonde hair. Pretty eyes. Seeing the wonders of a giant world" Aspen said. "Grass is always greener" Keith muttered. "It's the small things Aspen. Things said and not said. I had an inferiority complex until you said I was pretty. And here you are telling me you envied me years later" Claire chuckled. "Better to have said it now right?" Keith asked looking at them. "Yeah, what else is anyone keeping to themselves?" Aspen asked.

"Well, I'm more terrified of being a bad father than dying" Keith said. Claire and Aspen looked at him. "You didn't hesitate to show your kids love. You'll be just fine" Claire said to him. "I'm worried someone I love will have to kill my daughter" Aspen said quietly. "How would I live with that if it was one of you guys?" she asked tearing up. They were silent for a moment. "It won't come to that" Claire said. "But how do you know..."

"Because I know!" Clair yelled glowing brightly for a split second. Because she was a giantess to them, Aspen and Keith could hear her teeth chattering. "She's...she's my daughter too. When the shooting starts, I'll snatch her away and fly away from here" Claire said to them. Both knew it wouldn't be that easy, but it was the best hope they had. "Claire? You got any other thoughts you want to share?" Keith asked. "I want toe curling sex with you and then Aspen use me as a toy and then eat me" she said. Claire clapped her hand over her mouth astounded she said that. "Goddammit. I didn't mean that! These damn powers jack up my emotional states!" Claire yelled highly embarrassed. "But they don't make you a liar" Keith grinned. "You want me to eat you up?" Aspen asked. Claire wriggled her feet mortified. "...it’s been on my mind. I know it's stupid. Who fantasizes about being eaten?" Claire said moving her hair out of her face. "Eaten by a loved one? I'd say more than a few looking at the Internet. Why not? With your powers I'd bet it'd be safe" Keith said. "You think so?" Claire asked. "Shrink you and me down. You can always back out later" he said. With a wave of her hand, Claire shrank herself and Keith down to the size of bugs a perfect scale to the already shrunken Aspen.

"Even the freshly cut grass is like three stories tall to us" Claire said looking. Keith snuck up behind her and pulled her to him. "Wha..." she was saying before her lips were silenced by his. His kiss was long and deep. His tongue licking her back teeth and tasting her saliva. He placed her on the dirt before yanking her panties and shorts completely off. Claire looked timidly as he slipped off his own clothes. She stared into his eyes as he pushed himself inside her. Neither one said a word in the beginning. Keith had a special place in his heart for each of them. A place belonging to them and them alone. And it was this he showed to her. Aspen, the shrunken giantess who laid next to them watching could see how he looked at her different. He buried his head on her breasts sucking the milk out of each one while holding her. He pulled her into a sitting embrace as he bounced her up and down his cock.

Two people the size of ants fucking like the world belonged to them. Keith whispered in her ear. "Whatever comes...I won't run. I won't cry. I'll protect our family until my last breath" he said quietly only she heard it. Claire whimpered as she locked her legs around his waist. She looked at Aspen as Keith came deep inside her. Keith let go of her. "Your toes are curling. Mission accomplished" he chuckled. He looked up at Aspen. "She's all yours" he said. Aspen plucked her right off his shaft. Semen still leaking out of her, Claire spread her legs. "Not yet" Aspen said using her free hand to tug down her panties. "Now to lubricate my cute little dildo" Aspen grinned before sucking Claire's feet into her mouth. the girl squirmed as her saliva seeped between her tiny toes. Aspen’s taste buds tickling her calves with a few good sucks, her legs were coated with a sheen of spit. "Deep breaths, you're gonna need it!" Aspen yelled pushing her in feet first into her giant snatch. "...holy shit that feels good. Come here!" she yelled roughly snatching Keith up. Aspen looked at his body hungrily. "Whoa now. I don't wanna be eaten like your wife" he said. Aspen pushed Claire deep inside her. "...shut up. For the next five minutes you're mine. I don't have the share you with anyone" she said letting a tear fall from her eyes. Keith could see she hadn't truly gotten over him leaving.

Aspen's tongue lapped at his exposed soles causing him to squirm between her fingers. The tip snaked its way to his little ass. Keith made a cute yelp as his cheeks were parted. "That was cute" Aspen chuckled. "You still got some left in those cute widdle balls?" she asked like a kid. "These "widdle balls" were good enough to knock you up" Keith told her. "Prophecy or not, it's what I wanted too" she said softly. Aspen sucked his small dick between her giant lips before engulfing his entire crotch. She nursed and milked him lovingly as her other hand made sure Claire was pulled out enough to breathe before being shoved back in. This went on for minutes before he shot his load into her cavernous mouth. Aspen came and allowed Claire to slide right out into her waiting hand.

"Oh god. I thought I was going to end up the roommate of the baby" Claire gasped. "Oh, don't be so dramatic. You weren't that deep" Aspen said bring her to her face. "Dramatic my ass. My toes were touching your womb!" Claire yelled. "If you think that was unnerving. You haven't seen anything yet. Remember the last part of your wish?" she asked. Claire got quiet. "Funny thing is, I literally dreamed of eating you. Seriously, a bunch of times I would dream of eating you right up. I'd wake up remembering and cry my eyes out. What kind of person dreams of devouring someone she loves?" Aspen asked. "We don't have to" Claire shrugged. "Oh no. We're doing this and we're going to have fun doing it. Borrowers are like made to be eaten by humans Claire. Perfect size to be swallowed whole. They beg and plead in human language. Cry with human like eyes. Those soft blue eyes. Perfect skin" she cooed using her fingernail to rake up her belly.

"Keith isn't the only one who researches things you know. A female borrower your size and age is equivalent to 180 calories. I could literally eat you up and burn off the calories with a 15-minute brisk run. 20 years of life amounting to no more nutrition than a happy meal. Isn't that sad?" Aspen asked. "Aspen...you're scaring me" Claire said. Aspen winked at her. "Oh...oh I get it. But what about or life together! Surely that means more to you than facts and figures!" Claire yelled. "...more than you'll even know my love" she said very softly. "It was a trick! I just wanted you to myself. It would be no fun to eat you when you were a kid. I wanted you to grow up, fall in love with me, and when you trust me the most...eat you alive!" Aspen said. "For the love of God..." Keith said rolling his eyes.

"I'll start with those pretty toes and slurp you right in. Say bye bye to Keith" Aspen said. "Keith! Keith help me!" Claire called out. Keith sighed. "...no. No don't eat her" Keith said weakly playing his part. Aspen lips closed around her ankles and she felt the vacuum pull her in. They came right to her belly button. "Please....please don't do this. I have a baby. I don't want him growing up without a mom" she begged. Aspen paused. "Too much?" Claire asked. Aspen nodded. "You monster! This was your plan all along! Go ahead. EAT ME! FUCKIN' EAT ME. I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON ME!" Claire screamed before her head disappeared between those lips. Aspen sighed as she tasted her wife. Her sweet salty sweaty flesh. The sweetness of her milk leaking breasts. The warmth of her magic fueled body. "Jesus, she tastes that good?" Keith asked. Aspen nodded breathing hard from her nose.

Claire rutted herself against her giant tongue. Her toes clenching to find foothold to move about. "She's masturbating on my tongue! Oh fuck she's tasting sweeter! I was scared to do it but now...fuck I have to eat her!" Aspen thought. "Uh...did she remember to fortify herself?" Keith asked. Aspen who had been sucking madly on the tiny woman paused. She cocked her head as if trying to remember and when she did, Claire slipped down her throat. Claire found herself being pulled by powerful throat muscles down a slick fleshy tube. She almost panicked as this reminded her all too well how Ebonheart had eaten her.  She landed in a wet hot humid pit of her stomach. She stood up covered in Aspen's half-digested breakfast. Curious, she used her magic to illuminate where she was. She was awed and terrified of the sight. Her stomach lining wrinkled and slick was protective mucus and stomach bile. Coming up to her shins was the soupy remains of scone, bacon, eggs and juice. "Ow shit!" she yelled as it began burning her.

She cursed herself for forgetting the fortifying spell. She glowed brightly as it took effect and the burning acid sensation was gone. She was surrounded by sounds. The gurgling of her stomach as it sensed something to break down into nutrients, proteins, and minerals. That something was Claire. The level of bile rose ever so slightly. Claire could hear Aspen's heart pounding. It was a sound she was familiar with. More than once she fell asleep over her heart or just lay there after sex. Being on the inside though it was magnified by 10. "Oh Aspen" she muttered. Claire was emotionally tied to Aspen enough to know that her heart wasn't pounding due to the thrill of eating her. No, Aspen was terrified. "You did this even though being this scared. All that acting, and you were scared shitless for me" Claire said touching her stomach walls.

"She's not coming up Keith. She's not coming up!" Aspen yelled. "Calm down. She's probably taking it all in. She'll...um....maybe she really didn't remember to fortify" he said worried. Aspen bent her head as close as she could to her belly (which was easier being pregnant). "Okay you had your fun! This isn't funny anymore! Claire...please baby I don't wanna digest you!" Aspen screamed. Claire actually heard that and the sound of her heart racing even faster.  "She's freaking the fuck out. I better leave" Claire thought as she flew right up her throat. "Keith. Take your sword and....uckkk!" Aspen was saying until she felt something coming up her esophagus. She bent over and coughed Claire right out of her. "I'm alright. I'm alright everyone" Claire said shaking the bile and mucus off her. Aspen grabbed her and whimpered. "For the love of god tell me you got that out of your system" Keith said. "Yeah...bucket list is done" Claire said. "I....I..." Aspen stammered. "I know and I heard everything...including the last part" Claire said softly. Claire used her magic to clean herself and her clothes.

"You two are the worst actors I've ever seen" Keith said trying to lighten the mood. "I'll have you know most of what I said wasn't acting" Aspen said. "So, you really did dream of eating me?" Claire asked before growing everyone to human size. "Yeah. Stumbled onto the word vore on the net and saw some videos. That's how it started. And when we took baths together back then I saw how pretty you really are but the worst part...that time you got stuck in cookie dough" Aspen replied. "I remember that. You were quiet to me for two weeks. Thought I pissed you off or something" Claire said. "I was having dreams of eating you. It terrified me and just looking at you wracked me with guilt" Aspen replied. "You could've said something to me. I would've understood Aspen" Claire said. "Hi Claire. How's your day? By the way I dreamed of eating you alive again" Aspen quipped. "Maybe not saying it that way" Claire shrugged. "I was desperate to keep you as a friend Claire. Your mother despised me back then. She just needed an excuse" Aspen said. Claire couldn't argue with that.

"Well, that was then, and this is now. I know both of you aren't strangers to some roleplay. You know your emotional limits and what you like. That's a good healthy thing" Keith said. "You sound like you do it too" Claire said. "Every Wednesday and Saturday. Lawan got this cute Asian schoolgirl uniform at home and well..." he chuckled. "Asian schoolgirl! You pervert" Claire grinned. "Says the girl who fantasizes about being eaten" Keith said back. They all laughed at one another. "Well, I'm going to check in with Elena. What about you two?" Keith asked. "Lie right here and enjoy the moment" Claire replied leaning on Aspen. Keith nodded, stood up and left them. "I'm glad he's here" Aspen whispered. "Yeah...me too" Claire said looking at him.

Keith walked a good distance towards a small concert stage. Borrowers walked about busy setting up wireless speakers around specific parts of the colony. The concert stage in question was actually a small card table in the center of the colony. Keith could see people mulling about n top of it moving things into place. Carefully making his way to it, Keith wondered what a concert would truly be like for people no taller than his index finger. "Can't get the acoustics right" Elena sighed rubbing her right bare foot. "We gotta stop meeting like this" Keith said sneaking up on her. She jumped in fright. "Dammit Keith!" she yelled seeing the familiar giant. "If you don't want to see me I can go" he said. "Don't you dare! Pick me up and give me a cuddle idiotá" she grinned. Keith held her in his hand and cuddled her to his cheek. "Madre...you smell weird" she said. "Hehe...ignore that. Looks like nothing can keep a Mexican songbird down" he said looking at the stage. "Those things real?" he said squinting. "Sí. Guitars, amps, stage lights all real. Apparently, this colony had a band to begin with and Lily was nice enough to buy and shrink the instruments for them" she replied.

"Really?" Keith asked. "Yes, my drummer used to use acorn shells to practice when he was a kid. Funny" she smiled. "By this point, nothing surprises me anymore. I'm glad you kept your spirits up" he said softly petting her. "I couldn't just mope about. That thing you had me do over the phone gave me an idea actually. What if I used my powers to help everyone in the fight?" she said. "How? These Mogwai are strong as fuck. You saw that. I doubt your hypnosis would work" he said. "That's why I've been practicing mixing spells in my voice" she told him. "...you can do that?" he asked. "All attempts flopped except one. The fortification spell. There's one little hitch to it" she said. "There's always a catch...what is it?" he asked. "I'm out of energy. I can't even change size right now. I was low when I helped you the other day and trying out new stuff sapped me dry. I can replenish it but..."

"But you'd have to eat someone" he finished. Elena nodded. "So this concert?" he asked. "Proof of concept. Keith, I don't like eating anyone and when I ate Carlos...I'll do it. I'll eat somebody if it helps! Just give them to me and...and..." she said shaking. Keith planted gentle kisses on her body. "We'll deal with that later together. What's this?" he asked holding her foot between his fingers. "Twisted my ankle last night practicing" she replied. "And you were wearing these heels?" he asked holding her other foot still wearing her heel. "Have to so you get a feel for them" she said. Borrowing some magic from Oberon, Keith healed her swollen ankle. He shook off the effect. With his fingers, he slipped off her other heel. "Just do it barefoot. Show off those sexy feet" he chuckled. "One track mind gringo. Keith...if you have time later..."

"Probably won't. I have to get some rest and check on my wife. The concert is at 8 right?" he asked. "Yeah...don't miss it" she replied. Keith placed her back on the concert table. He waved bye as he walked away. Elena looked down at her now perfectly fine foot. "After all I've done, do I even have the right to love a man? Do I even have the right to be a mother? Should I even tell him after seeing how complicated his life is?" she thought touching her belly. "Bret? If someone did really bad things but was sorry for it, do they have the right to be happy later?" she asked a young man. He put his drumsticks down. "I think anyone can be redeemed looking at how many people came out in support of borrowers and gremlins. Some had to have done some bad shit to our kind and saw later how fucked up it was. If they truly feel sorry and do what they can to make this world better...I wish them all the happiness in the world. You have the right to love that guy miss Elena" he said. "Not me I was talking about someone else" she said.

"No, you weren't. I can smell how aroused you are. The sweat from your bare feet reeks of pheromones. The way you looked at him. Smiled. The fact you're pregnant" he said. Elena was aghast. "Borrowers can smell those things. From what I heard he's one of us, so I know he knows" he said. "He didn't say a word" she said. "He respects your feelings to let you come out when you're ready" he said. "And you're not?" she asked. "Borrowers aren't accustomed to hiding their feelings. Our lifespans are too short for that. We say what we feel. We love hard, we fuck hard, and we die...That guy there is a cut above the rest. If I could hold you in my hands like that, well let's just say we'd be smoking after sex cigs right now. I envy how he can share his heart with so many and not lose himself" Bret said. Elena watched the 18-year-old borrower with long black rocker hair stare at his snare drum.

"Don’t you have someone?" Elena asked. "I did. Lost them in a hurricane 3 years ago. I sympathize with that Keith guy. Similar circumstances. How he doesn’t just smother those girls with love every second is beyond me. I know I would" he said. "Maybe it's because he's devoted himself to protecting them. That's how he shows it the most" Elena said. "Maybe. To each his own. You’re pretty in that silver dress miss Elena" he said. "Thank you Bret. Let's take it from the top" she said. Bret nodded and began beating out an intro.
