As I felt myself dwindling again I ran with everything I got, exerting myself as I have never done before as I felt the ominous presence of this Laura scout girl approaching, she was running towards me too and her steps created distant tremors that scared me to death, giving me the needed motivation to run even faster
Fortunately, we had an old trunk in the hallway so before she could reach out to me or probably erase my existence with her giant shoes I managed to slid in the little space between the base of the trunk and the floor. As soon as I felt I was safe I laid face up, looking at the dirt and stains in the old piece of furniture and at some small but now probably dangerous cobwebs in one of the corners I slid on, feeling an overwhelming mix of emotions, relief, exhaustion, fear, helplessness and anxiety
Laura stopped running when she saw me hiding and adressed me as she tapped one of her foot next to the trunk. I was struggling to process what she was saying in a voice that sounded a bit deeper than usual for a girl of her age as I watched the menacing movement of her taps, like a bus going up and down and creating a slight noise and a slight air current with its movement
"Come out, I need you to confirm if you're still going to buy some cookies" the giant girl chuckled as I was frozen in my spot, thinking I was reasonably safe. Surely she could see from the items at the entrance door and the cars in the garage I wasn't alone and wouldn't want to keep causing noise. But even so, I really hoped mom or Matt didn't wake up or they could be trapped by this evil girl
"I'm just going to assume you will make a donation" she chuckled again as I saw her feet leave towards the exit. I crawled a bit to see if she was leaving but she seemed to be picking up my clothes for some reason
"Hey, there's no money here.. how were you going to pay me?" the girl said in an annoyed tone as she came back to the trunk and I crawled back carefully, fearing to find any spider or other nasty thing. I was lucky and the floor was just cold and a bit dirty but nothing else
"Hmm, I guess I can accept this thing as payment.. or as a donation" Laura said once again tapping her feet and entrancing you "But I also could do with a living toy.. plus, I'm not sure if you can grow back and pester me if I don't take you with me" she wondered and her words made you feel sick in your stomach. You indeed had no way to grow back without the remote, you needed her
"So what's it going to be, lady?" she asked me, tapping her foot a bit quicker to show how unlike me when listening to her Africa story, she was losing her patience
