This choice: Joey wants to keep you a secret • Go Back... The boy continued to process the situation until there was a change in his expression.
When he initially reached in to grab you, he was thinking "I want him", but even now after learning who you are, he realizes that nothing has changed; he could still very well HAVE you.
A weird looking smile slowly formed on the boy's face.
One look and you knew something wasn't right.
You tried to keep your balance as he brought his giant hand back up to eye level.
"You'd make a fun toy.." He spoke with amusement and wonder.
Your heart started to pound as you realized that this kid had no intention of letting you go. It was even more terrifying when you thought to put yourself in his position. You imagined all the things any regular brat would do if they found a tiny person all for themselves.
"L-look kid! I really need you to help me out here!" You begged, hoping that there was a part of the boy that could empathize with you.
He didn't even seem to have been listening, instead he was staring off ahead, almost as if he was planning out all the things he would do with you.
As you stood there, you remembered the portal down below. You were desperate to get out of this situation by any means possible. Slowly, you side-stepped to the side of the hand, hoping to see if the portal was within jumping distance.
It was a stretch, but if you got a running start, it might be possible.
Taking a deep breath, you readied yourself to sprint when the hand suddenly jolted, causing you to fall over.
(Damn it!)
While you were staring down at the portal, so was Joey.
He knew that he probably wouldn't be able to keep you a secret with the portal there. His parents would surely notice it and ask questions. As the boy thought about it, a lightbulb suddenly went off in his head.
The world around you spun as Cody turned around. You braced yourself as he brought his hand down to a nearby picnic chair, dumping you off onto the hard wooden surface.
The scent of pine hit you hard as you rolled off the palm with a thud. You watched as the giant turned back around and walked over to the fence by the portal.
"What is he..?" You stared with confusion as the boy picked up a large stone, about the size of a melon.
The blood drained out of your face as you realized what he was going to do.
"No......NOOOOO!! STOP!!! PLEASEEE!!" You screamed despite being too small and far away to be heard.
Looming over the portal like a building, the boy brought the stone over it.
"DON'T!!! PLEASE I!---" You screamed in utter desperation.
With a playfully innocent smile, Joey released the stone, sending it plummeting into the portal.
There was a loud metallic crunch quickly followed by a fizzle as the portal vanished out of thin air. Simultaneously, your house nextdoor momentarily shook from the impact of the resized stone.
You fell to your knees in anguish. Not only was years of work lost, but so was your only way of getting back to regular size.
Joey turned around to face you, now grinning from ear to ear like a kid who won a prize.
As you stared down at the rough wooden surface, you could feel the vibrations of the boy's foot steps getting stronger until a shadow fell over you.
"Mine now!" The booming boyish voice above you spoke with finality.
You looked up in horror to see his hand opened wide, ready to grab you again. Only this time, for good.
