The Borrower Arrietty 2: Chapter 18
Aerite smiled. “I’m glad you finally agreed.” She stood up, and shrunk into the size of a normal borrower. Townspeople that had once been hiding within their alcoves now began to peek out, trying to catch a glimpse of the mythical borrower before she disappeared into Dore’s house. As she opened the small thatched door, Sho noticed that her features crumpled into a grimace. Perhaps it was a time when Sho did not want to see Arrietty.
Jane hesitantly asked, “How is she doing?”
Aerite looked Sho sadly in the eyes. “I’m afraid this was worse than I expected. I can still save her, but this will tak

“How did you find us?!” demanded Dore, shaking from fear of the legendary borrower. “You were banished and we moved over a hundred human miles so you could not return!”
Aerite seemed to ignore the elder’s words. Instead, she turned to face Sho, who stared back blankly. “Well? Do you want my help?”
“Aerite…?”
She sighed, and kneeled beside Sho. “Yes, it’s me. The so-called borrower-human-god-devil. I can help you.”
Jane stepped between Aerite and Sho, as if shielding him from an evil force. “How do we know that you’re not going to hurt Sho or Arrietty

Arrietty’s right hand was beginning to flake. It was not the sort of flaking that you might have after getting sunburnt – this was hard, disgusting pieces of dried dead skin that were falling off like bark off a tree. Her skin beneath these flakes was rough and tanned, while her normal borrower skin was soft and fairly pale. Blood began to seep from the cracks, which had began to crawl up her arm. Arrietty sat up immediately, and realized that her left hand was doing the same.
As she touched her hand, a stinging pain shot up her arm. She jerked in response, which only made it worse. “Why is this happening to me? What is thi

Arrietty faced herself in Jane's bedroom mirror. Towering over Maribel, who stood on the table beside her, she twisted her body back and forth in order to observe the t-shirt and jeans that Sho had purchased for her. They were fairly tight fits, but she felt alright wearing them.
Jane asked, eyes half sparkling and half nervous, "How does it feel?"
Arrietty, still staring at herself in the mirror, said with a little frown, "It isn't nearly as comfortable as my dress, but it fits."
Sho knocked on the door to Jane's bedroom. "Can I come in yet?"
Jane replied, "Why are you so keen on seeing your girlfriend?"
Spiller, who was standing on Sh

A sharp scream brought Arrietty back to consciousness. She snapped awake, head tingling from the pain she had received last night. She quickly glanced around the room to see Jane, hand over mouth and unmistakably pale. "Jane, what's wrong?" Before she even finished her sentence, she knew what had happened. Feeling herself turn white as well, she looked down at the ground where her feet stood - and knew that she was no longer borrower-sized.
Arrietty stood at the same height as Jane, wearing the same simple red dress and brown shoes. She grew dizzy at the sudden growth in height and size, and collapsed onto the floor. Jane, catching up to wha

"For the next few days," Tina explained to Arrietty as they continued to search. "I watched the strange human who had saved my life and let me escape without so much as batting an eye."
Arrietty nodded. She was also quite surprised when Sho didn't say a word to anyone about having seen her. It was good to know that there more than one human in the world that could be trusted. It the large scheme of things, it really made her wonder how many of them were out there. Borrowers and humans friends maybe even something more despite the size differences. She smiled at Arrietty. "So what happe

Spiller sat there in dead silence as Sho answered the phone, trying to understand the conversation based on only what he could hear Sho saying. Looking around, he noticed that Arrietty and Tina had appeared and even Liam was standing and watching Sho speak. Sho felt his face get a little red from all of the attention so with great care he plucked Spiller off of his shoulder and set him down on the 2nd floor and disappeared into the kitchen.
"What is it?" Arrietty called to Spiller but she hushed her quickly.
"Lower you voice," he commanded.
"It's a phone, Spiller," Tina explained. "The human on
