This was a worry. If they didn't get up there soon enough then Tokoyo and Killer would be eaten!!
"How do we get up there?" Asked Andy.
"We could climb?" suggested Jinxx.
"Lets try it" said CC.
So they went over to a table leg and tried to get a grip of it so they could climb. But they couldn't. Everything had been polished so the wood was too slippery.
"We'll have to find another way" Jake said.
"We could say the magic word?" Ashley told them.
"Sure, it's worth a try" Andy cleared his throat, "FORTISSIMO!!" his deep voice rang out. They waited for a reply. Nothing.
"Say it again" Jinxx said.
"FORTISSIMO!!!" Andy said, louder this time. Still nothing happened.
"FORTISSIMO!!!!" Andy repeated, he was getting a bit impatient now.
"Maybe it's your voice that will help us" Jake pointed out.
"How could that help us?"
"Just try one more time"
"FORTISSIMO!!!!!" his voice echoed round the room.
Suddenly, 4 guitars appeared in front of them. One for every call Andy made.
"Well now we're stuck" huffed CC, sitting down.
"What use could these possibly be to help us climb up" Ashley looked fed up.
No one talked for a while, but instead just sat there.
"I've got it!" Jinxx jumped up. "We'll take all the strings off and make a massive rope to climb up!"
Everybody considered this for a moment.
"Of course! Come on guys let's get started" Ashley started yanking the strings off the electric guitar nearest to him. Soon everyone was hurriedly taking them apart.

Jinxx then tied all the strings together to make a long rope which could be used as a lasoo.
"Throw it onto that nail that's sticking out" said Andy, looking at the hazardous nail coming out of the wood. Everyone had there heads tilted back, trying to see CC hook the strings onto it.

It took a few attempts, but soon it was on and CC started to carefully climb up. After he had gotten to the top, the others came up one by one, until all of them were now on top of the table. They looked down to the other end and saw two helpless little bundles, strapped to a plate.
Now it would've been easy from this point onwards but they were not alone. To the left was a giant owl, swagging on the table, with a pile of owl eggs next to it.
To the right there was a giant panda, carving out some bamboo, obviously for the human giant. It seemed a strange assortment of food to feed someone. 2 Pomeranians, owl eggs and bamboo, but this giant was on a special diet, one only for him and not for anyone else.

"Do you think they're friendly?" Jake asked.
"Only one way to find out" Ashley replied, and they started to creep forward.
"Don't come anywhere near my eggs" the owl hooted as he saw them.
"And don't take those dogs either" the panda added. So he must've been the one who took them. But how could the panda be this big cause they'd have noticed it otherwise if it came through the woods.
"Ok ok, we won't" Andy told them. "You must be Laurence"
"Hey, how do you know my name?" said the panda who was clearly Laurence.
"I met a wolf who knew you're name"
"My old friend Kier. Ah, I see. Since you know him I won't send you away just yet" Laurence paused. "Were you the one who was shouting FORTISSIMO?" the panda stopped what he was doing and focused on Andy.
"Yes?"
"How did you know the magic word? Are you from here?"
"No sorry. We just came here to get our dogs back"
"Well I'm sorry but you can't get them back" the owl (aka Shane/Cyrus) said gloomily.
"Why?" Ashley asked.
"Because are master sent me to go find food for him. If I don't find food by nightfall then he treats us horribly. It was already late and I had to hurry, and your dogs were the first things I saw. Perfect for are masters QuickSlim diet. So I took them both. I'm awfully sorry but if you get them back then we'll get punished" Laurence looked so sad at this that the others instantly wanted to help them both.
"Why can't you just leave?" Jake asked.
"Because we're bound by a spell that he put over us. We can never escape" Shane groaned. Poor Shane and Laurence.
"Only once the giant is dead are we free. And no one can match his power" Laurence added, picking up the bamboo again.
"Thats terrible. He's such an ass" Ashley comforted Shane, even though he was far bigger than him. "But I still need my dogs. Is there anyway?"
Laurence considered this for a moment.
"Well we aren't exactly gonna be rewarded for finding them. And if we convince the giant that they're lost in this room then he won't get as mad"
"This is utterly horrible!" exclaimed Jake.
"Are you sure you won't mind?" said Ashley who clearly only had one thing on his mind. The dogs.
"Sure, we've got nothing to loose" Shane said half joking, half not.

Black Veil Brides started moving forwards to the end of the table. They were so close to Killer and Tokoyo that you could reach out and grab them. But right at that moment a grizzly voice was heard round the corner;
"FEE! FI! FO! FUM!! I SMELL THE BLOOD OF AMERICAN MEN!!!"
Everyone froze with fear. Their faces shear white with terror as the giant (aka Harry Styles) started striding towards the table.
"Quick! Hide behind me!" Shane whispered. BVB did so, camouflaging themselves in Shanes thick feathers. He felt so warm and cuddly.
"I CAN SMELL AN UNWANTED PRESENCE! PEOPLE! YUCK!" Harry the giant bellowed, sending a sickly stench of his breath on all of them bellow. They tried not to gag.
"I think it's just the smell of the dogs when the humans must've been near them" Laurence croaked.
"WELL ITS AWEFULLY STRONG. ITS AS IF THEY'RE HERE?" The giant sat down and licked his lips as he eyed the dogs.
"We need to do something!" whispered Jinxx.
"Role an egg on the ground so it smashes and attracts his attention. Then we grab Killer and Tokoyo and leave this wretched place" Andy said. Everyone thought it was a great idea apart from Shane the owl who didn't want to see his precious eggs go to waste.

They all started pushing on an egg, trying to make it move. It was so heavy it took all their strength to get it to move even just an inch.
"Help us" said Andy quietly to Shane.
Shane the owl shoved the egg with his hooked talons off the table and it dropped like a stone and splintered into hundreds of egg pieces on the ground. Shane cringed as the giant snapped his head up to look at him.
"What was that?!" Harry clenched his fist and looked on the ground. "Do you bloody owls always have to be so stupid?!?!" he got up to clear the mess.
"Move now!" Laurence urged and Ashley dashed out and grabbed the dogs, hoping they'd make no noise, and ran down the table with the others.
"Thank you" CC said to the 2 animals as he ran after them.

"Quickly! Quickly! Quickly!" Jake urged as they got to the wire rope.
"How will we get the dogs down?!" Ashley panicked.
"Give one to me. You take the other" Andy said before doing so and he quickly slipped down like an eel and was on the ground in no time.
Soon the others were down and they started making there way to the door. Their only exit out.
"STOP THIEF!!!" The giant screamed with fury. Oh oh. Now they were gonners....
