Achilles Heel Book Novels & Stories

Axel and Hyce exchanged glances, and Rook smiled knowingly. Layla continued. "My name is... "Layla, and you're 25 years old. Your favorite flower is daisy, and you prefer winter to summer. You live in Ferguson, and I'm your first patient" The ward went silent after that, and everyone stood attention cos that voice is definitely not Layla's. The book fell from Layla, and her eyes widened when she saw Roonie's red eyes are wide open, staring at her. "Oh my....gawd" she muttered, standing up in sheer shock.

I couldn’t see myself wearing these. “Chastity you have to wear heels.” Norm complained. “No Norm. I can’t walk in them, and they hurt. Besides heels damage your feet, especially your toes.” “What do you mean they damage your toes?” Lexi questioned as she took off the red heels she was trying on. “Here. Read this.” I said as I found the article I read not long ago about the lasting damage to your feet from wearing heels.

Cheryl finally got the chance to ask Alex, “You were poking your mom in random spots a while ago, with nothing in hand to refer to. What was that? Were you really saving her?” Alex smiled. “What do you mean poking randomly? That was the Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell.” “What Thirteen Acupunctures of Hell?” “Ah… well, I learned that online, it seemed to work on patients in vegetative states. I was panicking then, so I decided to try it out. But I didn’t think it would work!” Alex laughed nervously as he lied. He knew he shouldn’t reveal anything about the Ultimate Book of Medicine. Frankly, he was very much confused as well.

My legs were already hurting, but I’m doing this to at least to lessen the guilt I have, or I just hope so it was that easy. While resting, my eyes got stacked at the pair of gold-looking heels, it has an elegant and well-intricated design on it. But I was taken aback when a long fingers touch and lift it. Regret fills me in, it feels like my heart was hook by that heels and maybe I should’ve called Celestine and ask her to lend me money, but where am I going to used it when I’ll just end up being slave of the pack?

Belmont carefully massaging my foot, he was so focused and tender, as though he's holding a baby's foot. He soon stopped, he dropped my leg back on the table, reached for an ice pack and placed it on the swollen area. “You should stop wearing heels.” “Huh?” I asked dumbly -I didn't process his words in time because I was so lost staring at him -I couldn't believe his overnight change. “You should stop wearing heels,” he repeated his words. “It's easier to sustain leg injuries in them.” “B-but…" I stuttered slightly. My throat suddenly ran dry, hence my stutter… But why did my throat dry up?

"This is the punishment you deserve for killing my father. It’s not cruelty—it’s justice." Pushing aside the past, I focused on the present. Soon, I would be responsible for protecting three Alpha heirs, which meant my healing abilities might be needed. I skimmed through *The Therapeou* thoroughly, ensuring I had committed its most critical contents to memory. Then, I placed it carefully back on the shelf and prepared to leave for my afternoon training. As I turned, my elbow accidentally knocked a book off the shelf. I frowned, bending to retrieve it. The book was covered in a thick layer of dust, obscuring the title except for a faint glint of gold on the cover. “What kind of book is this?”

It didn't take long before I bumped into Jackie and Leah. Jackie looked at me with surprise and said, "Girl, what happened to you? Where are your heels? Talking about a Chemistry class going south." Desperate and exasperated, I claimed, "I've decided, from now on, I won't be wearing any high heels. I mean, heels are politically incorrect! They were invented by men who restrain women's mobility, so they could prey upon them more easily and..." Before I could finish my speech on emancipating women from heels, I heard Jessica's bitchy voice, "Oh là là, look at what we've got here. Helter-skelter."

Wilson said, clicking his tongue. “What's the fucking plan?" Elizabeth snapped. She didn't want to hear any of that from her father. She just wanted to know what his plan was and if it’d be favorable to her. Wilson’s lips twitched in annoyance, then sighed, musing in his head, ‘It was his fault for spoiling her too much.’ Looking Elizabeth in the eye, he answered, “I found his Achilles' heel." Elizabeth’s eyebrows shot up. "Achilles' heel?” she repeated, pulling her brows together. ‘He had figured out Lucas's weakness?’ she wondered, seemingly unable to believe what she had just heard.

Nicola and the hefty dude went to where he lay and dragged him to where I stood. "Told you not to do anything stupid Joe, why don't you ever listen?" I asked frowning at him and taking up one of his legs. His eyes opened widely and they looked like they were about to pop out any second. He knew what was coming next. "Pl...pease Lili- Madd...aam Belluci. Please I'm sorryy." I took out a knife and immediately, ran it on his lower leg, sliting his achilies heel and making blood splat out of it. He screamed as I did the same to the other leg and I scoffed in satisfaction.

The whole lot cost him one silver piece, and he ate lunch in the Lounge at Mrs Shiff's Inn. After a lunch of rich rabbit stew with a thick creamy sauce and freshly baked rolls, he went up to his room and put his new books on the shelf. He did a little reading in " Words of Power, the art of nonvocal communication", and marked out a few chapters in " Healing Hands, A healer's guide to mending tissue and bone". He left " Lifeforce, awakening healing magic", and " The Healer's compendium of fatal afflictions" for next Sunday's reading.
