This choice: Amber stops Leah from crushing you • Go Back...Chapter #42Saved by your captor by: rroll   "What are you doing!?" You hear Amber shout. "That's a person!"
"Oh please." Leah thundered. "I'm not that gullible, give me a break."
"Just look!"
Her gargantuan finger retreated before the sensation of gravity informed you that you were being raised upward again.
Once your world stopped spinning you were once again being scrutinized by Leah’s monstrous eye.
The iris was a dark shade of blue, with the most detailed patterns you’d ever seen spread across it. You could sense the depth of her pupil, making you truly understand that an eye was actually hollow.
She’d blink every few moments, sending gusts of wind towards you as her eyelashes flapped together like wings. That colossal and frightening motion forced you to look at the other parts of her eye, specifically her scalea.
The surface resembled a boiled egg, except larger than anything of that color that you’d ever seen. There were red veins running across it just like you’d seen along Amber’s eye, and they seemed to be infecting the white surface with their redness towards the far corners.
Her lacrimal was cherry red and her tear duct had a layer of crust across it. It was unpleasant to look at, but anything seemed better that the repulsive smell of Leah’s sweat soaked palm.
“This can’t be possible. No way.” Her voice rattled the ground and shook through your body.
“I found him… he was hiding in a matchbox car.” Amber’s godly voice replied.
“But how…” She trailed off. “How is this a person?”
Leah concentrated on you, as if she were trying to disprove to herself that you were a tiny man in the palm of her hand. The expression on her face made you to look away submissively, and in that moment her mouth fell open with realization. It was clear that you were a tiny human.
“It’s really a person… A person the size of an ant.” She murmured, revealing more fascination than concern.
“I… found him, but I didn’t want to take him with me to work. I’m not sure what to do, but then I remembered you were off this week.” Amber spoke up, glancing down at you intermittently. “Back home it’s…. chaos with the kids. I didn’t think it would be safe for me to bring him there either.”
“Wait… you’re giving it to me?” Leah looked at Amber then back down at you.
“You were the first person I thought of…” Amber asked.
“Because I’m alone, you mean.” Leah rolled her eyes momentarily before her shock returned. “Just let me think for a second… you dumped this on me so fast and I need to slow down and think. I can’t think if you keep talking.” The goddess looked back down at you. “I’m Leah. I’m sorry for almost…” She subtly looked down at her left index finger. “That must have been horrifying.” She shivered, forcing you to fall to forward and land flat on your face.
“Leah!” Amber hissed, watching your tiny body slap against Leah’s flesh.
“Oh my god… sorry! Are you alright?” Leah asked as she looked down at you with a hint of embarrassment.
“Be careful! Jesus Leah!” Amber replied. “Actually, maybe I should take him back.” She said as her face hovered over the fleshy landscape like the moon.
“Don’t crowd him!” Leah clipped back. “Step back you’re making me nervous.”
You watched as Amber’s colossal nostrils flared, then as her face glowed a bright red, and it became clear to you what she realized. Her left hand eclipsed the sky as her head began to retreat.
“Leah.” Amber mouthed before she raised her opposing hand to her nose and gestured for Leah to do the same.
“What?” Leah mouthed back as she began to raise her opposite hand to her nose. Before she was able to take a sniff, she had already put it together, but she frantically smelled the surface of her moist palm in hopes that it wasn’t the case.
The scent of a sour damp musk and vinegar bounced through her olfactory senses and her face flushed beat red. She held her palm back as she briefly studied it, seeing that it was moist with sweat.
The vivid image from your point of view raced into Leah’s mind; she pictured her palm spanning extreme distances like a field, with her colossal form in the background like a mountain. The ground was moist and spongy, while the scent in the air was the foul, damp musk brought on by hours of sweating into a dirty glove. In her mind you must have been suffering through a form of hell, she knew that if she were you, she would be.
She gestured for Amber to remove her hand, knowing that she needed to face reality.
You watched as the canopy of skin retreated out of sight, then the sensation of intense gravity returned, and Leah’s colossal eye made its return.
“I’ve been gardening and… and its the gloves and… I didn’t think in a million years that…” She took a moment to take a breath. “My hands don’t always smell like this.”
Her tone was oddly reassuring, mostly because it was the first time in a while that you didn't feel like an insect. So you waved your hands to signal that it was okay.
“Does that mean you’re okay?” She asked as she watched your tiny form.
You waved again.
Leah looked up at Amber, realizing they needed to settle whether or not she was going to keep you. Your momentary feeling of self determination was extinguished as you awaited the decision of these two gods.
