I'm Mute Novels & Stories

She mutters to herself. Xoxo

"Your name?" She only kept staring at me, and soon, she began trembling, and that's when it hit me that she hadn't said a word the entire time we met. She… she was a mute… shit! I was far off the house since I had started driving off to avoid Elana, and I couldn't start calling Aidan back because if she was mute, she couldn't answer some questions been thrown at her. "Just.. " I finally realized she was still on the phone. "Just write my name.. I'll explain everything later. "

He laughed. ‘You have his laugh.’ Rohan thought through our link, and I felt tears pricking my eyes because he was right. “Since, oddly, I’m the one who can find her voice, I’ll start.” I chuckled, teasing my sister. “I’m Shikoba. Yes, I know I’m speaking, but my lips aren’t moving. I’ve been mute since I was thirteen. My boss and Delta, Silvercloud, invented a chip in my brain that takes my thoughts and sends them to this.” I held my wrist up to show the stylish gold bracelet. “Which is where my voice is coming from.”

He muttered after a moment and dead silence descended in the room. Fuck!!!!

"And your date, Celeste Koa. I heard you still can't speak until now. Should I do the sign language thing for you to understand what I'm saying?" I furrowed my brow in irritation. My blood boiled, but before I could do anything, Rusty snapped back at her and chuckled sarcastically. "Stupid. She's just mute, for now, Yumi. She's not deaf, so she can understand what you're saying," Rusty said and looked at me. "Shall we?" I nodded. When my gaze landed on Arik, who was unusually quiet when he saw me, I noticed his hand on his chest, as if he was feeling something unpleasant.

On the other hand it would have soothed it, so probably better for my plan this way. Upside, it has worked just as intended. My voice is completely gone, all I can produce is tiny squeaks. So with a croak that would make any frog jealous the so called King can ask me anything he wants, in my mute state I am however, and very unfortunately, not able to answer. Going over to the small mirror that he should probably have removed, I mean who says I won’t smash it and try to cut him with a piece ? I open my mouth wide and check, just to make sure he won’t accuse me of cheating him.

As if to add insult to injury, a message popped up saying, "Due to system maintenance, you cannot change your avatar for the next few days." The group chat erupted in confusion.

I muttered. .

I muttered. And a notification popped up.

"I mean it'd already be round nine AM on your end and knowing Miya-Chan he probably woke you up since seven but..." "I miss you." My voice is hoarse and even I could hear the tremble in my tone. She falls silent momentarily before a warm chuckle sounds through the phone making my heart squeeze. "Accept my vc." Removing the phone from my ear, I connect my headphones before accepting the video call request and her face takes up my screen. The soft light from her bedside table illuminating parts of her face as she laid on her side, unruly curls framing her head and covering her pillow.
