Sticks And Stones Saying の小説・ストーリー

His voice echoed through the sitting room, loud enough to make you crumble. Mr. Stones flinched, his breath catching. “I know about your family,” Raymond continued, eyes narrowing. “Your wife. Your daughter. Everything. Don’t insult me with lies.” Something inside Mr. Stones crumbled. His knees buckled, and he dropped to the floor. “I’m sorry,” he whispered, eyes filled with tears. “I was desperate. I had no choice.” Raymond watched him coldly.

Two more stones flew by without touching me. “Abomination!” “Bloodsucker!” Several stones hit my back. I could hear them closer. I knew that if they got me, they would surround me to beat me and kick me. Their footsteps sounded like a stampede across the square. I dropped the buckets and sprinted toward the woods.

And we were walking right into it. "Last chance to back out," Thelma murmured beside me. "Can't. Already RSVPed." "Xavier." "I'm fine." "You're shaking." I was. Barely noticeable, but there. "Truth Stones are... unpleasant. I had to use one once, years ago, during a pack dispute. It felt like being flayed from the inside out. Every secret, every hidden thought, everything you've ever tried to bury—it all comes up at once, demanding to be spoken."

Susan jumped on her seat as she got nothing but only worry on her face. The Talking Stones were stones that could speak and they knew a lot of information about what happened around them. However, they were a bunch of mischievous beings because they never say the truth about the things they know. They love to prank other deities by telling lies and spreading juicy rumours around. They also went by another name, The Mischief Liars. Not sure why but they were decorations in the palace gardens. Hecara's smile got even wider when she saw Susan's speechless expression. "Yes, those stones are my best friends and they are very reliable and can be trusted," she added. Then, she hummed happily.

"You were fast, how did you know which one would work?" I didn't have the right answer's. Or at least I thought I didn't. "A stone is nothing but a stone. There is no right one." Coach laughed. "You are wrong. The stone you picked is right because you believe it will work. Your faith will save Sandra." He pressed.

I stoop for the stick like a man trying to pick up a dropped promise, and the world says: nope, you don’t get that one back. I hear someone shout “Two-hand it!” from the sidelines. It’s not encouragement, it’s description. I plant my feet and squat like I mean it. Thank God for small mercies. The right-hand stick is all I’ve got left: they may measure the same, but they feel different.

The guards pave the way for us pushing the people aside who are gathering around us. "Beta Nolan please this way."A male wolf in of a strong built physic who is standing at the door of the meeting hall bows his head to Nolan. "Gama Liam everyone is present already?"Nolan asks in a authoritative voice. "Yes Beta and I have to tell you that..."He hesitates to speak as his eyes glance in my direction,"The Stones are making quite a scene and you know they have a good reputation among the commons." "Fuck these Stones."Nolan curses under his breath, "I will handle them just make sure they don't get a chance to communicate with the commons."Nolan instructs him.

I replied. “Thank God!” Imran said. “Why are you so dull then? What did Mr.Stone say?” Rashi asked. “Mr.Stone didn’t say anything, just apologized for the ball thing. He said that he actually thought my resignation was a ball deal and talked like that. Mr.Stone said he didn’t remember about the date at all.” I replied. “Wait! You are referring him as ‘Mr.Stone’.” Rani said. “Yeah! That is his name right.” I said casually.

“it's not like I want to be stuck with a group of people with sticks up their asses.” Someone chokes and I hear gasps all around us. I guess the rest of the class is listening in on us. “What did you just say?” she asks, gaze sharpening. “I said I don’t want to be stuck with a bunch of people who seem to have sticks up their asses.” “Do you want me to-“ “Enough you two, I am starting to get a headache,” Zade’s bored tone cuts Olivia off who is now seething. “You are defending her even now?”

And when he realized there was nothing he could do to make her speak, he let her go, giving up, loosening his hold as if she was the smouldering iron rod he held on for too for long, burning himself in the process. "You should go back to Italy"
