Midnight X Ms Joke の小説・ストーリー

"You don't sound rusty to me. So tell me your own hobbies too" "Hmmm, working, sleeping, gaming…” Two hours later, and they were both still chatting and laughing like two long lost friends. Janet’s phone is beginning to heat up. She looked at the clock, 12am – 'Oh shit' she muttered “I am so gonna sleep at church tomorrow”

I jumped, startled when Xander suddenly rang out a little too loud, “Hey guys, why do fathers take an extra pair of socks when they go golfing?.... In case they get a hole-in-one!” Xander laughed, and Marcus rolled his eyes. I sighed and pinched the bridge of my nose, knowing he's only getting started. “How does the Moon cut his hair?... Eclipse it!” Xander laughed even harder and slapped his knee. “Why don't skeletons fight each other?... Because they don't have the guts?” Xander curled forward, laughing way too hard at that one. “Thaddeus, if you don't kick his ass out of the car, I will!” Marcus growled, glaring at the back of Xander's head.

That thought was quickly tossed aside because if that was the case, the noises I made by kicking in a window aloud with my own cries and outburst from dressing my wounds would undoubtedly have been heard. Curled up between the two chairs with my face barely sticking out of my sleeping bag, my eyelids feel weighted with exhaustion and the comfort of finally being warm. The small LED lantern is in the dimmest mode, sitting on the table beside me casting a soft warm light. I usually sleep best in pitch black darkness, but am not brave or crazy enough to sleep without a light turned on while I'm inside this abandoned building at night. The last thing I remember doing before passing out for the n

He taunted, "What's the matter? Are you looking forward to it?" Miss Jessica laughed playfully, her smile enchanting. "I am looking forward to it a little bit!" Mr. Marcus's face turned dark again, and he gritted his teeth. He really wanted to strangle her! "Oh, I just remembered. It's after midnight now, so my birthday is over!" Jessica laughed cheerfully, making Mr. Marcus's hair stand on end. She casually said, "Let's wait for my next birthday!" Mr. Marcus finally resisted, "You wish!"

He forced a smile and kept his hand to pour her a glass of water and tell her a joke sitting next to the bed. “Kelly, you know, there was someone who was sleeping, and a mosquito came to bite him. He was woken up by it and was going to slap the mosquito when it said, ‘Please don’t kill me. It’s my birthday today!’ “That person carefully placed the mosquito in his palm after listening to it and sang a birthday song clapping his hands! Hahaha…” Josiah burst out laughing first after he spoke while Kelly looked at him expressionlessly. Josiah’s smile froze.

I smiled. "Huh? What does that mean?" I pouted. 'Jeez, is my joke flop?' "Do you enjoy listening to classical music?" I said it just to get the conversation going. "Isn't it boring?" "Boring?" "Out of curiosity, how old are you?" "Nineteen..." "Your real age, you silly!" I said, giggling. "That's my real age." "But a creature like you can live up to 2000 years old, right?"

she says, a widened smile plastered on her face, sweet as poisoned honey. I observe the exchange from my side of the table, grim and detached, terribly exhausted. I hadn’t slept enough last night—not because of the rain that had soaked Eva earlier, or the worry she might catch a chill. Something heavier had kept me awake, watching her sleep, my mind turning over the same dark thoughts that still pressed on me now. And Kaal was doing what he did best—trying to annoy the fuck out of everyone. Maybe that was why I admired Maureen; she never fell for his schemes.

I shook my head, too confused to speak. “Because the last time a lunar eclipse appeared here, something extraordinary happened. A bond formed between two wolves, marked by the moon herself. We call it "Midnight's Mark". It has not appeared in one hundred and twenty-three years. Most think it’s legend, but I saw it when I was young.” My mouth felt dry. “What kind of bond?” “The truest kind, a mate bond chosen by the Moon Goddess herself, marked on the skin at the eclipse’s peak. Those who bear it are destined for each other, their souls matched perfectly. Such bonds appear only when the pack needs them most.”

Midnight sharp. December 24th. Christmas Eve.

she announced, raising hers high. I smirked, lifting mine. "Cheers to our wins." "Cheers!" the girls echoed, their voices bright with mischief. I downed my shot, the burn sliding down my throat, and I knew—this was my limit. One more, and I'd be making some very bad decisions. "Oh, shit," Jane suddenly blurted, glancing at the clock. "It's after midnight? How did time fly this fast?" "Guess that's what happens when you're having fun," Kim said, stretching her arms above her head.
