Miss Mysterious Novels & Stories

“Exactly like the wizard. But with better tea.” I blinked at her. “Is this a real place or a theatrical fever dream?” Merlin leaned in and whispered. “Mystique Gore is the kind of town that keeps its secrets wrapped in fresh linen and smiles. You’ll see!” She winked again and skipped down the hall. Okay. Officially unhinged. I chalked her up as “possibly delusional,” but somehow I didn’t toss the cookie. Later, in my room, I opened my encrypted phone and logged the day.

Alix added to the narration whenever I missed something. "Could you talk to your aunt about what happened? Maybe she'd have an idea about the monsters" Adalyn provided. I nodded in agreement. She might know something. "Or we could all be looking at it the wrong way. Maybe if it had been me, or anyone else, the monsters would have still tried to get to me to devour me." Adalyn added hopefully. I nodded at her. That does make sense, except… "What about the huge ball of mist that appeared in my room before the monsters showed up?" I asked

He tensed suddenly. “What’s wrong?” I asked, hurriedly dressing. “My people mindlinked me. The Supreme Witch heiress is missing. The news says a werewolf is the prime suspect.” I gasped. “I have to go back. I’ll find you again.” “Aminda, wait—” But I teleported before he could stop me. --- I reappeared fully dressed in the grand salon, where Aunt Marilla and Alister entertained their pompous guests. Mother rushed to me, clutching me with relief.

"That’s impossible. My parents were nobody." "Your parents were murdered to keep this a secret," I said. "And now, the secret is out. Draven suspects it, and the Council will know soon." I grabbed my gear. We had to move fast. But as we stepped out of the cabin, a strange, silver mist began to roll in from the trees. It wasn't natural. It smelled like incense and old blood. A figure emerged from the mist, an old woman in white robes. A high priestess of the Moon.

The people's prying ears widen at what they hear hence, they circle and scan the strange woman they have been disregarding. "Uh-oh, you may have forgotten we're in the market and not in the mountain, Miguel," Missy irks at her cousin. The sudden attention discomforts Amira. She stretches her cardigan to her wrist and her nightdress to her ankle in an attempt to hide the last remnants of scales in her body.

"Spectacular! You are really great, my baby. Okay, next. Clothes during the day, monsters at night; what secrets await behind this closed-door fright?" "I don't know. Ask yourself," I said with confidence—nearly. "Oooh, I thought you would know this. You are like this, Merchaiass. I know that you will be before I know about you and Taddeio." My eyes were squinting, trying to find the answer in her blank statement. "Bye, Merchaiass. It was nice to play the game with you. In 3, 2—"

Trustworthy and understanding. "Okay, I will be downstairs in few minutes." I said and he took that and left not without patting me on the shoulders and taking a look at his 'ugly' self in my mirror, winking at himself and struck a pose. I snorted and fell back on the bed, reminiscing what the Moon goddess said. She was mistakenly bonded to me? How is that even possible? Time to take a shower I guess. * * * I cast a last look at myself and exhaled before exiting my room. I was dressed in just casual clothes since I was just going to be hanging around the pack.

“Don’t be shocked, okay? I also reviewed the footage and found out that there was no driver. Jerome traced the plate number but it was odd that it wasn’t even registered.” The hair on the back of my neck stood up after what I heard from him and that made me flinched at the moment. That was the same dark and mysterious night where all I could see was complete darkness in the balcony. I felt a flash of terror on my chest but I didn’t make it transparent to him. Would that be Juno’s doing? She might have wanted to kill me out of jealousy. “Can you promise me one thing, Aris?” I stopped from walking that made him do the same thing.

He was so curious that he had forgotten that he was supposed to be whispering. "I'm not sure; only the moon goddess knows who she is." The other one said. By the time they finished speaking, we were already in the pack. As soon as we got to the kitchen, I was shocked to find the workers working around, running around as if they were preparing for a grand occasion. "What is going on?" I asked no one exactly; I was still trying to wrap my head around what the ceremony could be when I saw Zara walking out of the kitchen.

Estelle frowned and said, “Mr. Mysterious, I don’t understand what you mean.” “I mean...” Mr. Mysterious didn’t finish his words. Instead, he suddenly approached her, covering her eyes with his big hand for fear that she saw his face. Everything went black before Estelle’s eyes, and her other senses grew more acute in darkness. The pleasant smell of Mr. Mysterious’ cologne became strong, and she could feel his hot breath on her face. “Estelle, I’m chasing you,” Mr. Mysterious said. Estelle was totally stunned. “Chasing me? But... Sir, you have your beloved woman, don’t you? Why do you pursue me? Is it because I’m similar to her?”
