Boxten X Poppy Novels & Stories

She had never been to Poppy's room and she was never going in there. “She’s going to die!” Laura shrieked. “I don’t care,” Penelope spat. “If she dies, you’ll be the one stuck paying Mr. Yan.” Penelope rolled her eyes, muttered a curse, and stomped off. She came back with Carrie, who held out the inhaler. “Here,” Carrie said, almost awkwardly. Poppy snatched it and fumbled it to her lips. She pressed down, breathing in, again and again until the tightness in her chest began to ease.

He waved his hand smugly and ordered his men to search Poppy. Poppy let them search without fear. “I’ll eat my hat if you can find anything useful on me!” Poppy’s worthless clothes had been thrown away, and the last pill she carried with her had been given to Penny. Anyway, these pills were meant to heal injuries and restore energy, so Philip's people ate them like jelly beans at leisure. Poppy had gotten rid of the pills and was certain they could not find anything on her. “Patriarch, we couldn’t find anything on her!”

She seemed excited to get to my level and I wouldn’t be surprised if Poppie excelled in all of her classes. As long as she keeps her shit together, smoke weed and her nose clean she will go far.

Next, I pick up a pair of generic looking tennis shoes, showing her how to open the bottom, revealing the hidden compartment. “These are also xray proof.” I pull out a red syringe. “Do NOT stick yourself with this. It’s a deadly combination of wolfsbane, Night Shade, and Poppy. Only use this when you can sneak up on the opponent. The last thing we want is for it to be wrestled from you.”

"What if I promise to just come out easily?" "I can't risk it, Luna. There's a lot at stake if I lose you. Please understand that" he replied holding the pill closer to me. "What's in it?" I questioned taking it out of his hand and looking a little closer. "Benophalein, Phenilezenathen, Rynerol, Sominex and umm... powdered Wolfsbane Cannabis," he replied. "That last one isn't available in drugstores." "Wolfsbane?!" I questioned.

After the things that happened to us—between us—he couldn’t have just disappeared on me. I look around, trying to see if something looks different, and at last, I spot it. The little wooden box with a picture of a yacht on the lid, where I keep the money I have earned mowing lawns. The cash to buy the ‘Fake Drug’ tickets came out of it, too. There’s still about eight hundred dollars left. I usually keep it on the bookshelf, but now it stands in the middle of my desk, very visible, as if placed there deliberately to catch my eye. I limp forward. This makes sense. He must have left a note in the box, knowing Catherine wouldn’t touch my things.

I pulled the paper bag from my satchel and crouched to pluck them. "Luna, let us help you gather the poppies," Jo said, and the three of them crouched to help. "Thank you. But these aren't poppies. Poppies look similar, but their seeds are black. These have brown seeds — they're called betonys. I use them in an ointment to bring down swelling in wounds, and a tonic made from them works wonders for stomach pain."

She looked up, confusion giving way to disbelief. "Then how is this possible?" Leonard held her gaze for a long moment before answering. "They're breathing." A heavy silence settled between them. "They're getting oxygen." Another pause. He lowered his voice. "Their bodies just... aren't using it."

With that, the hologram disappeared. Edom grinned his teeth. “That bitc-” He stopped when the red box opened, revealing a beautiful red poppy. Olive’s eyes widened. Red poppy symbolizes war. Suddenly, gasses smoked out of the poppy’s pot. “Crap. It’s poison, get out!” *** “Thaddeus, how are you?” Ashriel asked after turning off the hologram. Xieaniel who was operating remained silent. Leon grinned his teeth. Despite knowing how much he’s hurt, Ashriel still asked him.

"I-Your-" "We picked him up outside of a brothel house uptown. He also had this on him too." Viktor speaks up and he hands me a small silver pillbox. I open the box and my gaze darts between Braxton and the pillbox. "It's not what you think. I swear-"
