Chapter 3
Audrey felt as if she walked into a cathedral.
Not that she had ever seen one, of course, there was none in the Reserve. She
was used to low, one floor – two at best – houses and constructions. But she
had seen pictures of some and it surely felt like it.
And the fact that everything was scaled to fit
Megan’s size made the whole thing even more disorienting. She furrowed her
brow. No, in fact, Megan seemed too tall for the house, with her furniture
being slightly too tall like her near the built-in accommodations.
“Yeah, I’m… super tall, even for a CYCLO” said
the ginger girl, not looking at her, but Audrey shivered a little – she needed
to get her mind under control, asap!
“You’re… how much taller are you?”
“Hard to say…” slowly replied the giantess.
“There is only a handful of peoples my size – literally. Most CYCLOS range
between 4m50 and perhaps 6m30? But that’s just the average.”
“And… and MAJORS?” meekly pressed on the minor
girl, who felt as if she’d get knocked out by the idea of so many peoples near
Megan’s size.
“Oh, those guys are tiny” laughed the Cyclo.
“Something like 3m50 top, perhaps a bit more. Small CYCLOS and big MAJORS can
be hard to differentiate – if there is even a difference.”
“They are tiny!? At more than 3 meters!?”
“Oh, I guess they’d be tall for you, yeah”
admitted Megan as she continued to drop Audrey’s stuff on a sort of interior
balcony.
“Yeah, they would, I guess…”
“But you know, there is no reason to be afraid
with me around” boasted the CYCLO, flexing her arms and showing off her
sculptural muscles in all their glory.
“Uh… okay. By the way, shouldn’t you putting my
stuff on the floor? It’s be easier for me to, you know, get it and start to
unpack?”
“Oh, but your apartments are up here. It’s for
safety measure, really” she added hastily as Audrey gasped as she heard it.
“Imagine if there is urgence and we both get up at night, or something like
that. You being on the ground could be dangerous. But don’t worry, I’m super
careful, really!”
Megan’s hasty reassurance did precious little
to calm Audrey. She had bleached at the idea of being on the ground near that
colossus if she started to rush around. She probably weighted enough for her to
be crushed into a pulp even without any real strength being applied, and if Megan
did apply some. Audrey shook her head. She was getting dizzy and it was
becoming harder to breathe. She almost dropped her fragile bag as she leant on
the nearby wall for support.
“Audrey, it’s okay, it’s okay.”
Megan was speaking slowly and softly and,
looking at her as she clutched her bag. The CYCLO had finished dropping her
stuff and now she was retreating away from her. It seemed so ridiculous that it
pierced the veil of terror which had descended on her, if only a little.
Megan was now sitting, lowering herself as much
as possible – even then, she still loomed over Audrey’s line of sight. But she
seemed to try to look less intimidating. And the minor could have sworn she was
hearing a sort of lullaby now, but Megan was talking in the same time.
“Audrey, look at me, you’ll be fine. See, I’m
far away. You don’t need to worry. Why don’t you give me the bag, I’ll put it
with the others and you’ll reach them with the stairway, okay?”
The minor girl nodded meekly and she slowly put
the bag on the ground. She was unable to move just yet and she tensed even more
when Megan very slowly moved closer to be able to pick up the bag.
She felt such a pure terror suddenly that she
was unable to think straight, but a small part of her was starting to shake
those feelings. She was ashamed and she looked away, blushing abundantly. Why
was she behaving like that? Why was she losing her cool so easily!
“I’ll be getting up, okay?” said the CYCLO when
she scooped up the bag in her hand.
“Yes” croaked Audrey. “I… I’m feeling better,
sorry…”
“Don’t be, it’s only natural. You’ve never been
around someone as big as me and I got a little… carried away I guess. I should
have taken into consideration how much of a toll it must be for you!”
Audrey nodded and she found the courage to look
at Megan rising. It was truly phenomenal. She was taller than most houses and
trees she had seen back home. Back home. Merely 80 km away. That was nothing,
she was realizing it now.
She had lived all her life a stone throw away
from a world of giants and she hadn’t ever truly pondered what it meant. Her
world was a bubble and she was now at its edge. If she wasn’t careful, she’d
puncture it and nothing would ever be the same again, for her and her friends
and families…
“Feeling better?”
“You know that already right?”
Audrey cringed a little at how weak and
pathetic she sounded, but at least her little remark made Megan chuckle.
“Why don’t you get upstairs, it’ll be more
comfortable to speak, for both of us.”
The minor girl looked around and noticed a
small door, upon which was engraved the word stairs. She opened it and up she
went. It wasn’t too long, merely a dozen or seconds or so, because her legs
were still wobbly, until she finally reached the balcony.
“See, isn’t it much better like that?”
Megan was still looking down at her, but not
that much. The top of her head was “barely” a meter over Audrey’s line of sight
now. Somehow, she looked even more massive, as she leant against the wall to
have a better view of the minor girl who approached the railing.
“Whoa” whispered Audrey.
She was still frightened, and every time Megan
moved, even a little, she was startled a little. But now that she hadn’t to
look up that much to see her face, she was realizing how pretty the CYCLO was.
She blushed as those big green eyes seemed to pore holes into her skull and she
turned around. With her plain face and her brown hair she felt so unattractive
suddenly.
“I find you super cute” said Megan, as she
approached the balcony a little.
“I’d rather be beautiful” mumbled Audrey but
the low chuckle she heard probably meant the giantess also had heard that. “I…
I need to call my superiors to let them now everything is fine.”
“Oh, yeah, go on. I’ll be here, if you need
someone to talk to you can see, okay? I’ll probably be cooking something for
me, if you want a bite, I’ll be happy to share!”
Audrey nodded but she rushed into the more
secluded area of the house. In here, everything was the right size – her size.
She didn’t feel like she had shrunk, like when she was around Megan. It
bothered her. She shouldn’t have felt smaller; it should have been the CYCLO
who ought to look out of place.
But she seemed to radiate so much energy and
confidence that the world had to admit she was the right size and everything
else was just too small. Audrey shook her head and fished her phone out of her
pocket. She called the number she had been given, ready to ask some serious
questions.
“Hello Audrey. How are you doing?” almost
immediately asked the voice of Pr. Zitter, whom she knew oversaw the young
recruits in the Border guard.
“Uh… Not so well” she bluntly admitted. “I
mean, nobody told me I’d be partnered up with a fucking giantess who can read
mind!”
“Oh, so I take all went well with Megan”
chuckled the older man. “I knew it was safe to put her up for adoption.”
“Excuse me?”
“That’s the colloquial term we use for the
MAJORS who have volunteered to be part of the Outer Border guard. They are
“adopted” by their minor partner, really. You were the one choosing her, after
all.”
“Wait, she told me she volunteered to be in my
selection! How can I have adopted her?”
“Well, I guess it is more of a mutual adoption,
sure… she saw your profile before we made you your offer to join the Outer
Border Guards corp. If you had said no,
she’d remained alone here. But in case you joined, we needed to have three
compatible profiles for you to choose one, you see?”
In truth, Audrey didn’t really saw that, but
she was too shocked to answer and clearly the professor felt that it meant that
she had agreed to his words. He continued talking some more and she answered in
a very autopilot kind of way. Her mind was trying to deal with the fact she was
now supposed to live with a muscular giantess. A muscular giantess who also
sported curves which were incredible and made her drool a little; and who could
read mind, of course, because all of the rest wasn’t freaking enough!
“Audrey, are you still there?” asked the old
fatherly voice. “I assure you that Megan is perfectly safe for you to be
around, she won’t do anything too risqué or anything like that, I’m sure.”
“Oh, yeah, okay. Sorry professor I zoomed out a
little.”
“Don’t worry, I’m kind of used to that. All in
all, you’re taking it really well. Call me tomorrow at the same time okay?
You’ll be able to better inform me of what you truly feel.”
“Okay. See you tomorrow then” she said, and he
hang up on her.
Audrey sighed. She almost wanted to hole up in
her section of the house but she was certain it’d have been both useless and
cowardly. Useless because Megan probably could tore out of the walls if need
be, and cowardly because she had been the one choosing to come here in the
first place. She gritted her teeth and decided that she’d confront her crazy
situation head on. Her best friends were moving out of the Reserve entirely,
surely she could deal with an overgrown woman? It would have been pathetic
otherwise!
“An overgrown woman. A very sexy, super
muscular and curvy giantess whom I’d have asked out if she was my size already”
she said out loud. “Come on, keep it together Audrey, you can do it! Megan
won’t overwhelm you!”
Audrey tried to shield her mind. She had no
idea how she could do that but she imagined that if she pictured walls
surrounding her brain it’d work. She soldiered out of her room, into the
“shared” portion of the house and through another door upon which – she just
now remarked – was carved the simple word “kitchen”. She opened it and walked
briskly, focusing all her will on the castle surrounding her mind. It had to
work, it just had to!
“That’s a lovely castle, but you forgot the
roof babe” laughed Megan without even turning around as she was cooking
something. “And my! Someone is naughty! Do you want me to do what you just
thought about?”
The CYCLO was laughing, a very throaty laugh
now as she slightly turned around, offering a tantalizing view of her chest to
the minor woman whose defenses had been blown away like sands in a storm by the
sheer presence of the giantess. A ginger her dirty mind had immediately
pictured naked as she humming to herself, when she had had her baked turned and
she swayed a little, as if she was listening a music only she could hear.
Audrey almost stopped breathing when a sly smile came over Megan’s face and she
cupped her left breast.
“They are a lot heavier than they look babe. A
little help supporting them would feel so good” she purred, her green eyes half
closed as she turned more and more toward Audrey, who was now letting weak
gurgles as she tried to speak. “Don’t you want to help me, babe? It’d help us build
so much our relationship, we’d be better partners I swear.”
“My name is Audrey” croaked the minor, managing
to lift her gaze from those perky and far too massive orbs on the muscular
goddess to look into her eyes; she even managed to glare. “It’s not babe,
Megan!”
“Audrey? Are you okay?” asked her mother’s
voice
The minor girl was startled. She blinked and
suddenly she was still before the door leading to the kitchen. She turned beef
red and realized that she had never went through it. She had imagined all of
it. She swirled around and rushed into her room. What was wrong with her? How
could she be so much heels over head that just thinking about a woman she had
just met, who could crush her as if she was an insignificant rodent, was enough
to made her produce such vivid day dreams.
“I’m going to sleep, too tired to eat” she
wrote Megan.
Unbeknownst to her, in the kitchen, the CYCLO
looked at her phone and sighed. She hadn’t been able to see what Audrey’s
imagination had pictured by she couldn’t help but feel the flare up of her
sudden passion when she had approached her. If only the minor girl wasn’t that
impressionable, perhaps she’d have picked up on what truly appealed to her
partner. She looked over her shoulder, at the place where she knew the minuscule
bed her petite colleague was now sleeping and said six words.
“I’ll make you my wife.”
