Smaller Than Usual

Chapter 8

The big sister walks into the room...
"Chelsea!"
"I'm coming mom I just need to do something first!"
"Now where did she hide my hairbrush?"
"Oh there it is."
She grabs the hairbrush and starts to walk out of the room.
"Ow!" "What was that?!" "Oh it's her castle."
"Wait..." "Those dolls look familiar..."
"No way..."
She runs out of the room and comes back with two different dolls.
"There now I can take these ones..."
She quickly picks Abigail and Bartholomew up. She brings them to her room.
"There!" "Now I can..."
"Chelsea!"
"Coming mom!"
Chelsea walks out of her room and goes downstairs.
"Bartholomew?"
"Yes?"
"Doesn't she have the same name as Chelsea in our school?"
"Oh..." "Yeah she does!"
"Wait..." "Why would someone bring us a few blocks away from her house?!"
"I have no idea..."
"Wow look at her room!"
There was cages everywhere and animals painted on her walls.
"Wait..." "Bartholomew!" "We are in a cage!"
"What!"
"We need to get out of here before she tries to do something to us!"
"How are we going to do that with a giant lock on the door?"
"I have no idea."
"Ummmm..."
"Just try to break it!"
"I don't think..."
"Just try to!"
"Ok."
30 minutes later...
"I have to do homework now mom." "Bye."
"Ok, bye sweety."
*closes door shut
"Ok." Let me get a piece of paper and a pencil."
"And go ahead and tell me how did this happen to you guys."
*They both don't move.
"Is she asking us?"
"Ok..." "Just go ahead guys it's alright now."
"Should we?" "She could help us..."
"Abigail and Bartholomew, you can talk to me."
"Ok..."
"Oh...Hi!"
"Bartholomew go ahead."
"Um...hi?"
"This is so cool!" "I mean, how did this happen to you guys?"
"We...don't know."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
"We don't know how it happened."
"How?"
"We just blacked out and ended up outside."
Wait...didn't something or someone else happen to do something to them???
Have they forgotten?!
"So...you both don't know?"
"No."
"I don't."
"A mystery..." "Ok..." Well, did my sister hurt you?"
"A little..."
"But we're fine."
"Ok good." "I was worried."
"Wait...Chelsea?"
"Yes?"
"How are you not freaked out about this?"
"Oh..." "I just read a lot of books about fairies and I guess I've gotten used to it."
"Oh..."
"Well guys." "Should we figure out how to get you back to being your normal selves again?"
"Yes."
"We should."
"Ok it's settled then." "We will go to our school in the morning."
"What?!" We can't go with you!"
"You'd rather be found by my mom or Emma?"
"No..."
"Then come with me."
"Fine..."
"Won't someone find us?"
"If I hide you they won't see you."
"Ok..."
"Are you sick or anything?" "I know I've asked you if you are ok already..."
"Well...actually..."
"What's wrong with you Bartholomew?"
"I have really sore legs..."
"Oh." "How bad do they feel?"
"He almost broke them and he broke my fall."
"What fall?!" "Are you both ok?" "How did this happen?!" She's really persistent...
"We're fine." "He's just really sore."
"Ok..." "I'll be right back."She walks out of the room.
"Bartholomew..."
"What?"
"She seems...different."
"What do you mean?"
"She's one of the popular girls but...
"But?"
"But she acts like she loves small things."
"Well yeah." "She's an animal lover."
"No." "It's like she's obsessed with us."
"I'm confused." "So she's obsessed with small things." "So what?"
"She might keep us." "Or do something worse?"
"Oh..." "That's not good..."
"We've got to get out of here." "And fast."
4 minutes later...
"I'm back!" "Do you mind if I pick you up?"
"Uh...sure..."
*opens cage door
*Chelsea lets Bartholomew onto her hand
"Hold on."
"Woah..."
"You ok there?"
"Yeah." "Yeah." "I'm ok..."
"Ok ,I've brought small bandages and some muscle cream."
*puts Bartholomew down on the table
"Ok." "Now stay still."
*puts the bandages and muscle cream on Bartholomew
"There!" "You'll be better soon!"
"Ok." "Thanks."
"Now come back on my hand please."
"Ok."
*Bartholomew gets back on her hand
*Chelsea puts Bartholomew back into the cage with Abigail
"There!" "Now you guys are safe!"
"Chelsea..."
"Yes?"
"Why did you put us in a cage?"
"So that my mom would think your one of my animals."
Around the room, there were cages of big and small animals.
"Oh..." "Yeah..."
"So I'm going to go to bed." "Goodnight Bartholomew!"
*10 minutes later...
"Do you think she's asleep yet?"
"Yeah I think so."
*Chelsea snores in the background
"Yeah." "She is."
"Ok..." "Why did she just say goodnight to you and not me?"
"Well, she did say guys."
"Yeah ,but she also said goodnight to you afterwards."
"Yeah." "She did..."
"But why?"
"I don't know." "Maybe she did this to us?"
"Maybe..." "I don't know ,but we need to get out of here."
*In the morning
"Good morning Bartholomew."
"Uh...good morning?"
"I've got to take my medicine."
"Go right ahead..."
*drinks her medicine
"Wait... aren't you supposed to swallow pills not a liquid?"
"Not for me." "I have to drink my medicine because I can't swallow pills."
"Oh..."
"Is Abigail awake?"
"No she's asleep."
"Oh..." "Hold on I'll get you out of your cage."
"What?" "Why?"
"Because I thought you were hungry so I was going to get you breakfast..."
"Oh ok."
*Opens cage and grabs Bartholomew.
*Closes cage
"Why did you grab me?"
"I thought that we shouldn't wake up Abigail."
"Oh..." This is awkward...
"Let's go to the kitchen."
"Wait!" "I don't want anyone seeing me."
"Don't worry my parents left for work and Emma is at preschool."
"Ok."
*In the kitchen
"What do you want swe... I mean Bartholomew?"
"Uh..." What did she just try to call me?!
"Just maybe some cereal."
"What kind?"
"Just some Cheerios."
"Ok." "Sit here on the table."
"Ok."
*places Bartholomew on the table
"How you going to eat it?"
"Uh..."
"Oh I know you can eat from my bowl it should be fine."
"Uh..."
"There we go."
*she sits down
"Here I'll lift you up so you can eat some."
*lifts Bartholomew up
"Ok."
*15 minutes later they finish and Chelsea places Bartholomew down on the table
"There we go." "So...what's it like to be small?"
"Dangerous." "Very dangerous."
"Yeah..." "I've read some books about how fairies have died..."
"Ok..."Died?!
"Well, Do you want to watch T.V.?"
"Sure I guess..." That's a massive T.V.
"Ok."
*Brings Bartholomew to the couch and turns on a channel.
"So... What should we watch?"
"I don't know." "I don't really watch movies that often."
"Ok, I'll just pick a random one off of Netflix."
Imagine this as one of your favorite movies.
*1 hour later
"Wow." "That was a awesome movie..."
"What time is it?"
"It's... 5:30 A.M."
"5:30?!" "I'm going to be late for school!"
*grabs Bartholomew and runs upstairs.
*She places him done on her table right next to Abigail.
"Ok I'll be right back!"
*Abigail wakes up
"What's going on?"
"Oh Abigail, your awake."
"Why are you outside of the cage?"
"I ate some breakfast with Chelsea."
"Oh..."hm...
"We also watched a movie." "It was pretty cool."
"You did all that?" "What time did you wake up?"
"I don't know." "Probably like 3:30." "I couldn't sleep." "And I'm pretty sure she couldn't either."
"Are your legs feeling better?"
"Yeah a lot better then they were yesterday."
"Oh that's great."
"Yeah."
*Chelsea is changed into her school clothes and she grabs her book bag.
"Ok guys get in."
"In that?"
"Yes!" "Now hurry!"
"Ok."
"Ok..."
*Bartholomew and Abigail are both inside the bag
Chelsea runs to her car and drives to the school.
"Bartholomew I just thought of something..."
"What?"
"We need to escape at school and run away from here."
"I guess."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, she has been very kind to us letting us stay in her house and all..."
"Yeah..."Nice to you...
"Maybe we could stay with her and she could help us get back to normal size?"
"Well maybe..." "But don't you think she is up to something?"
"Well...sort of but it's safer to be with her than to be outside by ourselves."
"Well..." "I'm just going to have to leave then."
"What?!" "Wait!"
*Chelsea grabs her bag and runs inside of the school
Abigail jumps out and Bartholomew flows her."
They both jump out and grab onto Chelsea's clothes.
"Hey!" "What are you..."
"I can't fall again Abigail!" "I'll break my legs!"
"Just hold on to her clothes and don't let go!"
Chelsea went to her locker and lowered down to her backpack.
"Bartholomew jump!"
"Ok!"
*Abigail and Bartholomew jump down and Abigail starts running. Bartholomew follows after her.
No one is in the halls except Chelsea because she is late.
"Bartholomew?" "Abigail?" "Are you guys ok?"
"Wait..." "Where are they?!" She sees them. "No!"
*She grabs her bag and run after them.
"No!" "Come back!"
*Chelsea catches them.
"Why did you guys run away from me?"
"We..."
"Uh..."
"You guys think I'm a monster don't you?"
"Well..."
"We..."
"I'm not like that." "I'm just jealous of you Abigail..."
"What?"
"I love Bartholomew and all I ever wanted was to talk with him."
"Chelsea...I..."
"I know I should have told you sooner..."
"We...didn't..."
"We need to talk in the bathroom..."
*Chelsea brings them into the family bathroom that has two stalls.
"I'm sorry..."
*Chelsea starts crying.
*She places them down onto the sink.
"Chelsea don't cry."
"Hmmm?"
"You can talk to Bartholomew but we just thought you were the one who did this to us."
"Oh..."
"I'm still in shock..."
"Bartholomew shhhh!"
"Abigail..." "I didn't mean to make you think that way..."
"I know you meant well."
"Can I still help you?"
"Of course you can."
"Can...I talk to Bartholomew some time?"
"Of course..." "Just don't try anything too risky yet..."
"Ok..." "Anything for you..."
"Oh...and Bartholomew...I'm sorry..."
"It's Ok..." "I forgive you..."
*one of the stalls doors fly open
"Ah!!!"
"Hi girly!"
"Who are you?!"
*Grabs Bartholomew and Abigail. She puts them in to her bag on her back.
"I'm just your friendly average normal guy!"
"Get away from me!"
"I see that you've meet my friends!"
"What are you talking about?!"
"Come here and we can chat about it!"
*Chelsea runs out the door and runs into the principal's office.
"Miss Principal!"
"Yes Chelsea?"
"There's a man in the school!"
"What?"
*she looks outside of her door.
"I don't see anyone."
"What?!"
"I think you are just seeing things." "Here sit down and drink some water."
"Thank you miss."
10 minutes later...
"I thought I saw someone..."
"That's impossible." "You must have been imagining things."
"Ok..."
"Now go to your class and I'll see into it."
"Hey Chelsea?"
"Yes Abigail?"
"I think we've seen that man before!"
"When?"
"When we were normal and then became shrunken down!"
"Really?!"
"I think there's someone else behind this."
"Oh..."
*The bell rings.
"Oh no!" "I'm going to be late for class!"
