Romans & histoires Suspicious Marble Don't Starve Together

"I need more food." Said Mara. Annabel and Rose creased their brows as their eyes met an empty plate in front of them. They were surprised as they questioned themselves on what their eyes were beholding. Annabel's eyes met Rose's eyes as their mouth formed an "O". The two girls continued to look at Mara with no words coming from their month. After the atmosphere had been quiet for some time, Mara decided to break the silence the moment she noticed Annabel and Rose's eyes were fixed on her with no intention of looking away any time soon.

Like the body was afraid someone might take it away. Scarcity doesn’t only affect numbers. It affects instincts. That morning, Lily was helping Mara sort the remaining dried herbs when they heard voices rising near the storage shed. Not shouting. Sharp. They walked over. Two wolves stood near the grain ledger table, Eamon and a younger hunter named Calen. Calen’s face was tight with frustration. “I’m not accusing anyone,” he said quickly. “But the numbers don’t match.” Eamon frowned. “What do you mean they don’t match?”

Marble perched on the counter, looking down with full boss energy, while Spaghetti chased his own tail shadow, then froze as soon as he heard the crinkle of dry food. “All right, ladies and gents,” I said, pouring kibble into the first bowl. “Sorry the world almost caught fire, so your dinner is ten minutes late.” Pepper dove in like he had not eaten in five years. Mama Mozzarella glided to the second bowl, sniffed first, then started chewing with full diva energy. Marble hopped down from the counter and walked over like there was no rush at all, even though his eyes had already locked onto his target. Spaghetti sprinted to the fourth bowl, smacked into a chair leg, then finally stopped.

“That... is not dinner.” She smirks. “You wanted something to sink your teeth into, didn’t you?” Valentine picks up one of the vials, examining it carefully. “What are these?” “Explosives laced with poison,” Mara says casually, stirring her pot. Achilles claps. “Oh, fantastic! Just what we need—things that go boom.” Mara swats his hand away as he reaches for one. “Touch that and I will hex you.” I shake my head. “You’ll never learn, will you?”

“But seriously, Marco, Martha is going to have a heart attack if she sees you in here.” He turned to face me, leaning casually against the counter. “Martha’s off today,” he said, his voice low and smooth. “It’s just you and me. So, unless you want to starve, you might want to trust me on this.” I raised an eyebrow. “Trust you? After seeing this disaster zone?” “It’s not a disaster,” he said defensively, though his gaze flicked to the mess of bowls, utensils, and half-empty containers littering the counter. “It’s… creative chaos.”

Myron asked. "Just wait, Dad. You'll find out soon," Marvin said again. "W-working together on what? M-mommy doesn't understand what you mean," Mrs. Charlotte said, her eyes darting elsewhere, too nervous to look at Marvin. Seeing his mother's behavior and Mia's pale face, Marvin grew more certain that his guard's suspicions were correct. His mother and Mia were indeed collaborating to poison Stella. Stella, as perceptive as her husband, also grew more convinced that Mia and Mrs. Charlotte were working together to get rid of her. Mia's face could not hide her panic and paleness.

I approached the table and found gold earrings that belonged to Gena. I couldn't recall taking them out, leading me to wonder if someone had tampered with my belongings. Or perhaps it was a sign from the heavens that Gena had returned in the form of Maria. Despite their physical resemblance, Gena and Maria had different personalities. Gena was brave, while Maria seemed scared and unsure about everything.

“It was the same yesterday, wasn’t it? Just eat, instead of you dying-that would be more trouble than your mum and dad running off without responsibility.” Marcel clenched his fists. He wanted so badly to resist, but he couldn’t. Because of his parents’ failed research, Marcel was trapped in a marriage bond with Shirley and had to make up for all the losses suffered by the Delvino family by devoting his entire life. “I don’t want to eat your brothers’ leftovers,” Marcel said flatly, preferring that he starve to death rather than die of poisoning from eating those leftovers again. “This is still good, and it’s new food!” Shirley scolded as she slammed one of the plates on the table, making an

Around the table, other mafia lords and key players observed with interest, their faces revealing nothing but their sharp, calculating eyes speaking volumes. Valentin leaned forward. “Let’s address the elephant in the room. This alliance—this marriage—has sent ripples through the community. Some see it as a bold move to consolidate power. Others…” His gaze flickered to a man seated further down the table. “... see it as a threat to their autonomy.” The man, a stocky figure with a scar running down his cheek, cleared his throat. “With all due respect, Mr. Marconi, the Robinsons and Fowls combining forces shifts the equilibrium. It makes the rest of us uneasy.”

He looked down at the food scattered on the floor—meat, bread, stew, all wasted. Before he could respond, Rowan finally found his voice. “Yeah!” Rowan added quickly, pointing at the mess. “What about our meal? What am I supposed to eat now? Man... I’m starving!” The students around them gasped again. Marvin swallowed hard, his pride clearly taking another blow. “You… you can share mine with me,” he muttered stiffly. “If… if you don’t mind.” Philipa stared at him, expression unreadable. "I do mind... how am I sure you’re trying to poison me as well?.
