As Riley sitting at the kitchen table she couldn't help but here couple people talking "I wonder what there talking about" Riley said looking at her friend. "Probably talking about those stupid giants, I heard there coming today" Tristan replied. When Riley heard the word giants she couldn't help but shiver "because of them my parents died" Riley mumbled to herself as she stabs her fork into her meat. Just as Tristan about to cheer her friend up the lady who found Riley cuts in "umm Riley honey, can I talk to you?" Mrs. Moon asked. As Riley looks over at her she gave her a slight nod "ok Mrs. Moon" Riley replied hopping off the bench and heads over.

"What do you want to talk about?" Riley asked looking up at the lady with a confused look in her eyes. "Come sweetie lets go for a walk" Mrs. Moon replied as she grabbed a hold of Riley's hand and lead her down the long hallway. As they are walking down the long hallway Riley noticed couple of photos on the wall "so umm what is it you want to tell me" Riley asked as she stopped in front of a photo of what the town used to look like. "Your father is alive" Mrs. Moon replied causing Riley to look at her in shock. "What!? He is, why didn't you tell me Mrs. Moon!?" Riley asked as she drops her hands to her side. "Honey I just found out today" Mrs. Moon replied as she placed her hand on the young child's shoulder.

"Where is he, I have to go see him!?" Riley exclaimed causing Mrs. Moon to frown, "what's wrong?" Riley asked titling her head to the side. After taking a couple big breaths Mrs. Moon finally gave the young child her answer "it's not safe honey, he's a giant and giants eat humans like us" Mrs. Moon replied causing the young child to back up away from her. "He's my daddy! He would never eat me!" Riley shouted as she took off running down the hall.
