Softhead and the Tiny Red Diamond

Chapter 3: Softhead & the three giants

Softhead couldn't believe her first day just being in the house and then, now she's been spotted and had to leave as soon as possible. Tears started forming in her eyes, trying her best not to leak or cry out loud, for how upset she was, realizing that she wasn't ready or fully capable of being a borrower, just like the rest of the family.
However, remembering last night about the 3 giants and knowing their names, she did get a good close-up of what they look like. She started with Kyzer, first, seeing teal puffy cream on both his head and chin, a black bow tie, stretchy suspenders, an aqua green shirt, dark brown pants, and light brown shoes. Because he is a mug, she's wondering if he could help her, but she wouldn't since he's like the rest of them...
Then there was Mark, snoring along the couch with Jack. There was black on both sides of his head with red dyed hair bang, covering his face, tirelessly and she giggled about it. If she's correct, he did look more Asian and somewhat part American, due to his tan skin, while wearing a black shirt under a black/red hoodie, black pants, and red socks.
And finally, there was Jack, since it made more sense that he was from Ireland because he was wearing a black shirt that said the word while lying backward on Mark. The Irish man had as well, just brown on both sides of his head with a green dyed hair bang, black pants that were ripped from his knees, and black socks.
It took her by surprise that the boys slept with her together instead of their rooms, due to her recovery, until she finally remembered that she left the red gem in her hidden home, needing to act fact. So, without hesitation, she gradually but with great caution, moved herself away from Kyzer next to her, dragging herself along the smooth and soft pillow to the edge of the couch. Even in great pain from the trap, last night was so unbearably painful, that she tried to resist and made it to the edge of the couch, it was worth it. Softhead kept her swearing promise to Elder Kettle and Cuphead to protect and hide the gem from evil at whatever cost, no matter what happens.
When Softhead is at the end of the couch, from where she's crawling, the fall is so deep and yet dangerous for her to accomplish without trying to get injured. Furthermore, she didn't even have her tools with her, making it a big problem to climb down the couch and run for it. She knew there was no other choice, so before she could jump, she prayed to God and asked for his help, wisdom, and strength to get her out of this mess.
After finishing her prayers, she took a deep breath, slowly stood on her feet, moved a few feet backward, and took off a heading start before jumping, without realizing her feet were numb and tripped after jumping off the couch. Her screams filled the entire house with echolocation, waking up the three giants.

Kyzer POV:
Me, Jack, and Mark were sleeping peacefully on the couch, since last night was such a crazy night of first discovering the tiny cup that was stuck in the trap. The gender of the cup looked female. She had red shining hair that looked like strawberry and cherry mix jello, a multicolored bending straw, the clothes were ragged and worn out, and red dirty shoes. We first discovered those tinies called borrowers, and remember back when I used to be like them, but I cannot let anyone know about this. Anyway, the scream startled us that morning when I noticed she wasn't on the pillow until I saw her falling. I quickly reacted, reaching my hand out as fast as I could, catching her just in time before she hit the ground. I had a very serious, but very worried and concerned look at her. She was extremely terrified, lying on my hand, feeling bad about whatever the heck she'd been going through. I bet that she might have lived in the casino where the devil tortured them and may be the only one to survive and escape. With my hand, still holding her, feeling her shaking violently, I cautiously raised my hand back to my level and watched her in guilt and not taking a peek at me, neither Jack nor Mark. Mark and Jack were in complete shock with a tiny in my hand and looked at her as well. All of our hearts sunk in deep pain as I gently placed her down on the soft pillow once again, finally, she was slowly peeking out and we gently smiled about it. But she then hid herself for a quick second.
We couldn't blame her or ourselves that we're witnessing each other right now, and just frown, just looking at how much scars, hunger, and tears just destroying her body, even when she's been discovered by us... I wonder what she's thinking, I wish I knew what she's thinking about. She might be asking the same question...

Softhead POV:
I let out a scream as I thought I found myself at my "final death," falling to the ground and crashing myself into pieces, but no... It didn't happen. The fall stopped and I knew that I encountered... my hands to a giant mug, holding me from dying. I knew right there and then, that this has to be "my final death" to him and 2 other human giants. I was on the verge of tears, shaking so violently, I could barely catch my breath. As the giant mug stranger raised me to his level and looked at me for a second, other eyes were looking at me as well, as he gently placed me back on the soft pillow of the couch. I took a peek to see if they were still looking at me, they smiled and I quickly hid myself once again. Their smiles... I didn't know whether or not, I could trust their either gentle or fake smiles that looked evil deep inside...
Although, looking at the giant mug of Kyzer himself, I do wonder what's he thinking, I wish I knew what he and the 2 men were thinking about. They might be asking the same question...
....
A few minutes passed by and silence filled the whole living room area, completely soundless, until one of them spoke to me. I'm guessing it's Mark, by the sound of his low tone soothing voice, making me feel relaxed and comfortable enough to slowly reveal myself. It was just strange, it's like I'm in his trance...

"That's it, it's okay... we won't hurt you, we promise. It's okay, little one," Mark cooed, "Can we see you?"

And the weirdest part, he asked me and I obeyed for some reason, just slowly enough to get a glance at the 3 giants, looking at me as I whimpered in fear. The boys noticed. Mark and Kyzer tried showing their gentle smiles while Jack just looked at me in concern, but didn't smile back.
Then, looking back at brown hazel, baby blue, and orange-citrine eyes, that was when I finally realized they were trying to help me, but I didn't trust them that easily. I have to keep my distance and be self-aware of what's going on. Otherwise, I could be their next victim and there's no turning back. I may not know how many they captured or tortured before I even came to borrow in their home.
One of the boys tried reaching their hands at me, and then I started screaming and covered myself for the worst. Kyzer quickly warned Mark and Jack and immediately, they pulled their hands back away from me.

"Holy- She's that terrified?!" Jack yelled in shock, hurting my ears, even though I didn't have one.
"!!! Jack, be careful!" Kyzer quietly shouted, "Her hearing is super sensitive, even at her size. It hurts her, please be as quiet as you can!"
"Oops, sorry..."

Kyzer shook before looking back at me as I lowered my cover, and tried standing, already forgotten that my legs were numb and couldn't stand up. I fell face first on the soft surface of the couch, luckily it wasn't ground or hard...😓
    But feeling completely hopeless and tired, I surrendered myself and started crying. They took notice of my breakdown.... Kyzer was the one to step up and comfort me.
I panicked, then something happened...

"Hey, hey, shh~"Kyzer shushed and cooes, "you're going to be okay... everything is gonna be okay. As long you're with us, no one's gonna hurt you, not on our watch..."
"... You promise?"
"I promise, always..."

.... I didn't know whether or not, I could trust him... But, it's worth a shot.... Even if he means, to get my family back and reunite with them again....
