Avenged Sevenfold Giant/tiny One-shot Stories

A Bad First Meeting

Night had fallen, finally the wretched giants were asleep. Aaron and his wife Elizabeth scurried through the passageways of the walls like they were rats. A cold draft brushed past them, forcing them to shiver. This was no place for a human to be, but giants in the states saw them nothing more than pets. Aaron and Elizabeth were lucky to have escaped before their daughter was born, but the streets were cruel and plagued with disease. Now it was a battle of life and death! If they didn't get the advil soon, Aaron feared he and Elizabeth would lose this battle. 

Elizabeth peaked her head out of the entrance to make sure the coast was clear. She looked back at Aaron and gave a soft smile. "Let's go." 

They ventured onto the bathroom sink, being very quiet with each step they took, despite it being dark, Aaron hated being out in the open like this. Every time the house creaked he couldn't help but jump. They just needed to get the advil and get the hell out of here! 

The couple made it to the medicine bottle, thick plastic sealed their cure away from them, but Aaron pulled a rusty nail from his backpack. He dug in further and clasped onto the familiar steel rectangle.
 
It was a lighter he had gotten for his eighteenth birthday. He was so lucky he was able to hide the trinket from the giants who captured him and his wife, it was the only thing he had left of his former life. And it had been a lifesaver during these cold months of winter, but lighter fluid was hard to come by as a human. There was probably only enough for this mission. Aaron handed his lighter to his wife and used all of his strength to lift the nail up. Elizabeth flicked the lighter a few times before a little orange flame appeared. She ran it under the point of the nail until it was red hot. Aaron drove the nail into the side of the pill bottle, the smell of burning plastic quickly started to fill the room. Once he was able to cut a small hole, he quickly pulled the nail away and let his wife crawl in. 

Elizabeth pulled out a circular orange tablet and quickly shoved it in her bag. "Let's go!" 

But before they could run, the lights flickered on. Aaron's green eyes locked onto the door and to his horror he saw the giant that occupied the home. He was a terrifying giant with black hair and piercing blue eyes. Tattoos covered various parts of his body, the most notable was the word forever on his neck. But the most chilling thing about him was that he was staring right at Aaron and Elizabeth.

The night had only made Zack's headache worse, he couldn't get any sleep. He thought he could just take some more advil and finally go back to sleep, the last thing Zack expected to see were two humans on his sink. He quickly noticed the hole in the pill bottle and the rusted nail beside it. 

"Are you fucking kidding me?!" Zack shouted. The couple started running but he plucked one in the air. It was the woman! She was pale and had black hair tied in a bun, with wide blue eyes looking up at him in terror. 

"LET HER GO NOW!" The man shouted as he pointed the rusty nail up at him. 

Zack had to stifle a laugh. This tiny man looked so weak and sickly, this guy couldn't even grow a full beard yet he was gonna threaten him? "I don't think you're in a position to be making demands." 

"Then get your hands off my wife!" 

"Not until you tell me why you're here!"

"P… please, we needed the medicine!" The woman cried out. 

Zack practically ripped the backpack off of the tiny woman and dug into it to find a pill that was taken. They went through all this trouble for some cold medicine, how desperate were these humans? He took a closer look at the woman and he could see her eyes were sunken in and bloodshot. The husband didn't look much different, his brown hair was slick with sweat and his arms shook more with each passing minute he had to keep that nail pointed up, whatever illness they had was slowly eating them away. The Advil probably wouldn't even do much except prolonged the inevitable.
