Quietly Hostile Novels & Stories

“Well, if you have to put it so pleasantly. Yes. I am here to tell you that you cannot take my shit.” I watch as there is a flare-up of what I can only assume is irritation and maybe a bit of anger on his face. “You are telling me?” “Yes, Antoni, that is what I said. I firmly advise you to consider what I ask.” Now, if I thought that talking to him like a gentleman is going to get me anywhere, I am sadly mistaken, for he immediately takes a hostile stance. I guess that we have come to that point where things are now going to become ugly.

It is as if their expressions are a mirror reflecting back nothing but disapproval and disgust. Despite my attempts to maintain composure, the atmosphere is palpably hostile. Each member's demeanor seems to reinforce the notion that I am facing an uphill battle, with their silent reproach echoing louder than any spoken words. In that moment, I am acutely aware of the isolating feeling of being the target of collective animosity. “Is anyone unwilling to work with me on this project?” As I look around the room, I notice every hand raised in unison, each member waiting their turn to voice their opinion. The tension in the air is palpable as they speak, their words weighted with caution and rese

“Quiet can be dangerous.” “Not this kind.” She turned then, studying him carefully. “You felt it too.” He didn’t deny it. “When you stood in the threshold,” he said slowly, “there was no hostility.” “No.” “Only scale.” “Yes.” Fenris’s jaw flexed faintly. “Scale unsettles people.” “It unsettles wolves,” she corrected softly. His lips curved faintly at that. A stronger pulse ran through the lattice then—not convergence, but a ripple of adjustment.

he whispered, his voice cold and menacing. The elder's voice droned on monotonously, a background hum that faded into the periphery of my consciousness. My attention was locked onto Tristan's face, where anger and unbridled hatred simmered like molten lava, threatening to erupt. That was all I wanted to see—the raw intensity of his emotions. I allowed a cold, calculated smile to curl my lips. Bring it on, puppy; I’m ready for whatever you’ve got.

The fight between these two individuals was so heinously vicious that it was hard to tell who was the aggressor and who was the victim. The spark from the weapons colliding created tremors of hostile intents in the alley. Surprisingly, neither side seemed willing to back down. They were both attempting to tear each other apart with great tenacity. The woman appeared to have been possessed by some type of fiend from the depths of hell while the silent assassin was striving to make efficient cuts to disrupt all attacks.

Rieka is not the shy or quiet type, and I don’t like not being able to hear her voice. Someone clears their throat loudly and I turn back to Silas. He’s smirking again, but his eyes are full of animosity. I’ve never met this rogue before, but for some reason he seems to have a lot of hostility towards me. I swallow the lump in my throat as I continue to calm myself.

I answered, still honest in my words. Once again, silence stretched between us. A humorless chuckle coming from his throat broke the silence, but not the tension. “Do you know what you are doing?” He asked me coldly when the chuckle ended. The tension in the air was so thick that I could be cut by a knife, but I was used to his hostility towards me. “Yes,” I answered, once again, keeping my voice honest and brief. “No, you don’t.” He shot back sharply, moving his upper body in my direction this time.

"Dean, what’s going on?" "Answer me," Dean’s voice grew more insistent, "Don’t lie to me." He lifted his head, his eyes locking with Chen’s, an unsettling gleam flickering in the depths of his gaze. Chen fell silent for a moment, his expression unreadable. Finally, he spoke, his voice calm but heavy. "I have hostility." The moment the words left his mouth, Dean’s heart sank like a stone. He exhaled slowly, his voice barely a whisper. "So, yours... is true too..."

“Punish her-!” “That rogue doesn't get to stand there and act like she is one of us–!” “Take her down–!” Their rants and hostility are like violent storms that are brewing so hot and so fast while squeezing around every inch of me. Their anger and restlessness suffocate me like they all are on a mission to boil me alive. I can feel it. Their hate. Or maybe they are just afraid of something or someone that they can't control. Me. “ENOUGH!” A single word from a familiar deep voice cuts through the noisy chants, causing me to hiss in a breath as the entire hall falls deathly silent.
