Chapter #8Countdown to Catastrophe by: Alina  
‘CLIMB TO MY ANKLE. YOU HAVE 1 MINUTE, OR ELSE’ the message read.
BOOOM!
The sneaker tapped once, the starting signal of sorts, as Nikki and Brie both causally stole glances under the table. Quickly, the phone disappeared, only to come back a few seconds later with the stopwatch app opened and counting down. As the seconds began to quickly disappear, Abby frantically began scrambling up as quickly as she could. With a frantic, almost manic energy, Abby tore up across the first lace like Spiderman as the digital countdown overhead refused to slow down. The thick fabric of the laces lay in front of her like an obstacle course of felled logs. Quickly surmounting the second lace, Abby looked up to see how much time she had left…only to feel her heart sink.
’45.67’ read the clock as Abby saw she still had what seemed like seven more laces to get across. She needed a new plan.
“Grah!” she shouted as she pulled herself up onto the third lace, her back straining to lift her as the adrenaline rush she’d been riding for the last 15 minutes seemed to be wearing off. Swallowing a deep breath of air, Abby forced herself to keep moving as she ran across the length of the lace, hoping to get off the tongue and towards the flat side of the sneaker instead. Getting onto one of the ridges that rose above the tongue, Abby once again began taking off uphill towards the massive ankle of Nikki’s foot (http://cdn.solecollector.com/media/up/20...).
BOOM!
Abby tumbled back into the trenches on the tongue of Nikki’s sneaker as the giantess tapped her foot again. Groaning, Abby looked up and saw why…less than 30 seconds remained.
“THINK SHE’LL MAKE IT?” Brie’s voice echoed from above as Abby desperately tried to get back on her feet.
“FOR HER SAKE, I HOPE SHE DOES,” Nikki replied, giggling. The threatening conversation that was being had so casually by the giantesses sent shivers down Abby’s spine as the tiny woman found her body now giving out on her when she needed it most. Climbing over another lace, Abby could finally see the last stretch of sneaker before the ankle was before her. One more lace stood in her way as the tiny woman leapt off her perch, ready to make the final climb.
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
“TIME’S UP,” Nikki’s voice echoed as Abby collapsed on the other side of the lace. She had only the last hill of fabric to climb before she’d won…but it was too late as the giantesses were already staring down at her, smiling menacingly. Looking up, Abby saw as Nikki pushed her chair out, swinging her leg (and Abby too) around so she landed right next to her pocket-book.
BOOM!
Both giants now leaned down, making it look like they were rooting through Nikki’s bag as their delighted gazes fell on the tiny, quivering woman.
“AWWW, SHE LOOKS SO CUTE DOWN THERE!” Brie cooed as she leaned in closer.
“HEHE, LOOKS LIKE SHE DIDN’T MAKE IT TO MY ANKLE THOUGH, UH-OH!” Nikki said, her voice dripping in sarcastic-sweetness. Terrified of them, Abby tried to sneak away, inching towards the crevice between the laces and tongue.
“OOPS, I THINK SHE WANTS TO GET AWAY,” Brie said teasingly as she bent down more and reached out for the little woman, knocking her forwards with her fingertip.
“UH-OH, DID THE WITTLE GIRL WOOSE HER BAWANCE?” Nikki said in a soft baby talk as both girls broke out in a giggle. Abby quickly covered her ears as the bombastic barrage of sound assaulted her ears. Cringing in pain, the tiny woman looked up pleadingly at both giantesses to stop.
“I DON’T KNOW, SHE MAY BE DIZZY FROM THE SMELL OF YOUR FEET, NIKKI,” Brie said was she waved a hand before her nose, sticking her tongue out in mocking disgust. With each swipe of Brie’s hand across her face, a powerful wind blew down on Abby, threatening to toss her off her own feet and sweep her away if she wasn’t careful.
“AWWW, I THOUGHT YOU LIKED MY FEET THOUGH!” Nikki said as she made an overdramatic pouting face and leaned forwards. As she did, her nose scrunched up and the giantess recoiled.
“NO ONE LIKES THAT SMELL,” Brie retorted as both giantesses broke out into giggles again. Abby felt a strong gust of wind come at her head on as Nikki exhaled, waving her own hand before her nose as she pretended to almost choke on the “smell” that was around her. Trying to get up, Abby was blown over once again as Brie began to wave the air out of the way of her face. Sprawled on her back, Abby looked up to see Nikki looked at Brie from the corner of her eye as her fingers were pinched tightly over her nostrils. Suddenly, Abby found herself surrounded by a storm of giggled, gusts of exhaled air, and sharp winds from waving hands. Buffeted on all sides, the little woman had no choice but to curl up in the fetal position and try to outlast the storm caused by these massive sisters.
“WHAT’S WRONG? DOES IT REALLY SMELL THAT BADLY TO YOU? HAHA!” Nikki asked as she began to reach down and scrape up the little bug from her sneaker.
Abby shrieked as she was soon snapped up between Nikki’s powerful fingers and found herself floating before the two delighted sisters (https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736...). Suddenly, she was dangling before both giantesses as they examined her much closer than before.
“WELL, SHE DID LOSE…SO WHAT DO WE DO WITH HER?” Brie asked, looking at Nikki. Abby shivered, from the gleam in Nikki’s eye, it seemed the giantess already had an idea of what to do with their new tiny friend.
“GET MY BAG” Nikki said as she dropped Abby onto the table for a moment.
BOOOM!
The tiny woman fell down as Nikki quickly grabbed just what she needed from her bag and dropped it in front of her. Stumbling backwards, she saw what had nearly crushed her…a pack of gum. Abby was confused, when all of a sudden she watched Nikki pull a stick from the pack and unwrap it. The single stick of gum was as big as a large SUV or small bus to her as it was placed down before her. In an instant, Nikki’s fingernail dug out a tiny groove in the gum stick…then her hand turned on Abby. The tiny woman turned to run, but was too slow as Nikki grabbed hold of Abby and lifted her up, pressing her down into the groove with no hesitation.
“Heeeelp!” Abby screamed as she was pressed down tightly, the gum trench being bent down around her like a pink cage. In an instant, Nikki’s thumb came down on the entrance to the trench, blocking out all the light as the giant woman’s real target finally came into view.
“HEY, SORRY THAT TOOK SO LONG. THEY HAD TO CHANGE WHO I’M FIGHTING TONIGHT, THE PERSON CHANGED AGAIN,” Paige said as the ground rumbled on her return.
“NO PROBLEM, WANT SOME GUM?” Nikki asked, lifting up the stick that Abby had been crammed into.
“SURE…THANKS,” Paige said, a little on guard as she took the piece from Nikki’s grasp. Abby was almost blinded by the light as it suddenly poured back into her pitch-black cavern. As the stick of gum was lifted into the air casually by Paige, Abby was getting slammed all around her chamber like a ragdoll as the Anti-Diva examined the stick for a second. Getting slammed against the thin slit of an entrance, Abby looked through just in time to see her idol looking at the stick of gum cautiously (http://scontent-b.cdninstagram.com/hphot...). Sticking her arm out of the slit, Abby waved and screamed with all her might as the stick of gum was brought closer and closer to Paige’s face. As she was engulfed in the shadow of Paige’s face, Abby screamed for help one last time as….
