The feet of an Army

    by: lillyfox Author IconMail Icon
Sandra lets out a shreak of delight when she sees her nephew Oliver.
"Ollie!" she crys.
"Auntie Sandra!" he laughs before embracing her.
Ollie moved interstate a two years ago to study Mathematics and Physics. It's something no one expected after his huge amount of success with Basketball. He's 22, extremely tall (6'5"), lanky but muscular and his feet (slipped neatly into his flipflops) are around a size 14.
Ollie places down the six pack of beer he has bought out into the yard (little does he know that doing so almost crushed his favourite cousins).
"Hey where are the terrible trio? I bought some stuff with me for them!" he lowers his voice "Thought I should by some friendship seeing as how I'm staying for a week." He laughs
"I have no idea. They were here one minute, next they've gone! I thought 'Oh they must be off to use the neighbours pool!' forgetting of course about the one we had put in a month ago! I think I'm losing my mind Ollie!" she laughs again "Would you believe that I thought I saw faeries dancing on that weed I just flattened?"
Ollie laughs and Sandra continues, quite clearly showing excitement with a hint of drunkenness.
"Hey, did you know that Oliver means Elf Army?? That's what your mother told me when she picked your name, it's because of those pointy ears of yours."
Ollie laughs again.
"Well, you know what elves do to faeries." He smiles, lifts his foot and slams it down.
Sandra and Ollie both laugh. Then Ollie feels three little bugs niping the heal of his foot. He lifts his foot up allowing his flipflop to make a steep slope to the ball of his foot. The bugs slide down and just when they hit the ball of his foot he slams it back down.
"See Aunt Sandra, 3 down!"

Jon shakes Megan and Blake in turn, trying to wake one of them up. Soon they start to stir. Jon begins to look around when BOOOOM a huge green wall drops behind them. Megan and Blake jump to their feet!
"What the hell? Jon? Where are we??"
Blake starts to scream looking up at a huge figure in front of you all. Your favourite cousin Ollie. You all stare up for ages at your huge Cousin. His t-shirt and shorts could hold a factory!
"Jon?! O-O-O-Ollie's here he-he-he can help us!" Blake says as he runs forwards.
"NO!" Jon screams as Ollie picks up his foot and slams it down "See Blake, he could crush you like a- well - like the bug you now are!"
"I'm not a bug! Ollie won't stomp me!"
"Blake," Jon is beginning to run out of patience "pick up what you would now call a rock... DO IT! Ok now throw it at his heal."
The kids throw their 'rocks' at Ollie's huge foot - by any measure! He lifts it up, letting the 'rocks' roll down to the ball of his foot. As this happens, dirt falls like rain from the base of his flipflop, sounding like a thunderstorm when WHAM!
"See Blake! Don't be so stupid! Let's hide in this box. I think we can fit through the folds.
They slowly climb into the six pack box and sit up against a warm beer.
"Now," Jon thinks out aloud "Ollie will take this inside to put all these bottles into the fridowwwooop!"
Wit that they are picked up by their cousin and listen to the Thwak Thwak of his murderous foot ware as he walks inside. Ollie places the box down and begins to take the bottles out and put them into the mini-fridge. And that is where Jon's plan goes wrong. Blake wriggles out of the box to run for Ollie's feet again, screaming his name. Jon wriggles out after him dashing across the floor. In normal measure Blake would have a 30cm head start on Jon (as Jon took a little longer to wriggle out and Blake is on the school sprint team!). Suddenly Ollie drops to one knee, separating Jon, from Blake! Then Jon notices... Where the hell is Megan? He looks around when he hears shrill screams from above as Megan flys through the air, stuck to the condensation on the bottle!
Who's point of view will you take now?

You have the following choices:

1. Megan's

2. Blake's
