This choice: David shrinks all the way down to 1 inch. • Go Back...Chapter #8David shrinks all the way down to 1 inch. by: Dragonien   “Or I'll kick your ass!” David's increasingly high pitched voice yelled up at his 'growing' brother, a moment of unrealistic bravery shining through his fear at the situation. Though the defiant threat only made Tyler grin wider
“I don't think you'll be kicking anyones ass anytime soon, David” Tyler's voice rumbled. Though nornmally his voice was light and fairly high pitched, with the size difference between the two now it rumbled down like thunder from the heavens. David was still shrinking, and his size was getting almost rediculous. His extra shoes beside the door were taller than he was, the doorknob of the front door looked to be over a dozen stories above him... and Tyler. Tyler was just gigantic.
By the time the shrinking stopped, David couldn’t have been more than an inch tall. Literally bug sized. And though to any other person in the world Tyler was a shrimpy little runt. A little midget of a dragon David could pick up with one arm without breaking a sweat. But now, Tyler was a giant. His toes were as tall as David was, his foot was bigger than an SUV from David's perspective... and the rest of him was big enough to shame most skyscrapers.
“God damn you're tiny David... “ His voice rumbled deeply. The ground shook slightly for David as Tyler stepped forward, footpaw slamming down on the other side of the diminutive blue dragon and knocking him back onto his ass. A dark shadow cast over him as the behemoth that was his little brother crouched down over him, hands on his knees and lowered his head down to get a better look at him. “Hell. I had only meant to shave a couple feet off, give you a taste of my size for a while” he rumbled softly, more speaking aloud his thoughts than talking to David “Though this could be just as fun...”
David slowly pushed himself up to his feet, eyes wide with fright as he stared up at the giant that was his brother. All of his bravado was gone, replaced with fear of the enormity of his brother. Tyler could step on him like a bug without any effort at all. Tyler could swallow him whole without a second thought. Any number of things seemed possible now, and none of them good for David.
“C-change me back, damn it!” He yelled up at Tyler, his voice trying to still sound confident and demanding, though his words were studdered from fear, and his barely audible, high pitched voice didn't do anything to help Tyler take him seriously at all.
“Haha” Tyler's voice boomed out, louder than he intended and loud enough to leave David's ears ringing, as he covered his earfins with his paws. “Oops. Sorry, 'big' brother. Guess I'm not used to you being so puny that my voice can hurt you” he teased, clearly enjoying the whole situation. “Though I think we should explore this a bit before I change you back... why squander an opportunity to experience a bug's life” he murmured rather ominously, causing David's eyes to widen a bit as Tyler began to stand back up. “Ill give you a 5 second headstart...”
David started to yell up at Tyler, somewhere between demanding and pleading for Tyler to stop screwing around and to fix this. It wasn't until Tyler had counted aloud to 3, and started raising up one of his huge sneaker covered feet that David finally got the message, and turned to run. He ran as fast as he could off to the side, which was pretty damn fast normally, being a football player and all. But at an inch tall the progress he made was almost laughable. The carpet fibers were like thick grass to David, coming up nearly to his knees as he ran through them, and occasionally he'd trip and stumble, only to shove himself back up to his feet as he desperately made his way deeper into the living room to try to get away from his brother.
“Five...” Tyler rumbled out as his foot slammed down onto the carpet. He was far enough away that the impact was felt, but didn't unbalance David, though it certainly urged him to try and run faster. His head swung back and forth as he tried to think of a plan, though was constantly interrupted as he looked back behind him to see Tyler casually strolling forward at a leisurely, taunting pace. Each footstep causing the thick white sneaker to slam down into the carpet and send a tremor in his direction. David was at a full dead run, and Tyler's casual stroll simply from the sheer width of his stride was easily catching up.
He only had seconds before those footsteps overtook him, and from the look in Tyler's eyes, he wasn't sure whether Tyler would really step on him or not, and was too scared to find out. So he went for the only place he saw that he might help him get away, the couch! It was a low hanging couch, with only a couple of inches of clearance between the floor and the bottom of it. More than enough for the diminutive David to get in, but far too big for Tyler to get in. and David knew from experience the couch was too heavy for Tyler to move, as he used to have to move it for Tyler.
“Fee Fi fo Fum. I smell the blood of a bug sized brother” Tyler would taunt, clearly getting far too into the situation, as he 'chased' after David. Each footstep coming closer... shaking the floor more for the tiny blue dragon...
David was at the home stretch. And Tyler realized where he was going. An annoyed growl filled the air, and the next footstep hit the ground harder, as Tyler increased his pace. David lept forward, trying to dive for the goal, to 'safety' beneath the couch...!  indicates the next chapter needs to be written. |
