Versus Tails Novels & Stories

Maggie grunted, stepped forward and grabbed her by her long red mane. “AHH!” Valeen yelled as she swung her fists in the air. “Let go!” Maggie swung her around by her red mane with both hands tightly secured to her scalp. “I couldn’t find the toilet brush, but I guess this messy bush will do.” “Oh, God! You wouldn’t dare!”

I had held Luca in my arms and stayed awake the entire night with him. At the time, the old injury in my right hand had not yet become this severe. Still, I had to grit my teeth through the pain in my wrist while changing towels for Luca throughout the night. When he walked out of the study that morning, dawn was almost breaking. I had been leaning against the headboard, dark circles beneath my eyes, yet the first thing I did was look at him and softly ask, “Are you going to see Violetta today?” How had he answered me back then?

“How about strip pool? Every time your opponent gets a ball down you need to remove an item of clothing. The first one naked loses” “I knew the moon goddess knew what she was doing when she paired us together” I laughed as I took her hand “We will need to flip a coin to see who gets to break” “Done” Victoria reached into her handbag and pulled out her purse “I know I have some coins in here” She pulled out a dollar coin and flipped it in the air “Call it” “Tails” She caught it and flipped it down on her hand “Tails it is, do you want to break or should I?”

Zutara frowned at his words but she stepped forward any way and placed her hands on th egg, instantly it began to get hot she stepped back quickly, the King and his captain jumped to their feet as smoke began to fizz out of the egg, it cracked loudly and the room echoed a loud gasp Inside the egg was a little creature as small as a kitten, it was the most startling blue colour that anyone had ever seen with shiny scales and tiny little horns on either side of its head above ears like a cow's and its big round eyes that looked at those gathered with as much curiosity as they looked back at it were a brilliant gold like its new lord's as it sat it licked off the sticky fluid that covered its b

“We’ll flip a coin. Heads it’s Whitney. Tails it’s Daniel. Then, after you see the result, we’ll know if you’re excited or disappointed—and that’ll tell you what you actually want.” “That’s a terrible decision-making strategy.” “It’s a brilliant gut-check strategy,” she countered. I sighed and pulled a quarter from my pocket. “Fine. But if this backfires, I’m blaming you.” “Gladly.” I flipped the coin, letting it arc high and catch the light before I slapped it against my hand. Tails. Daniel. Beth leaned forward. “Well?” I stared at the coin. “I don’t hate it,” I admitted. “I actually feel good about it.”

"I told you it evolves but don't worry, they only have the strength not mysticism" "How does this game work? I'm in to listen" "The game has five rounds, we need a coin to flip high for head and tail, the head is for which opponent will attack first while the other is for the second strike to end the other's stamina. The game is still the same as the first round however before the other round commences the two opponents will place bets but in the beginning not yet though. Whoever won the last round will take all the bets and it will give you a chance if you want to free the beast and let it live beyond the walls or pet it"

Following her lead, I pick the card closest to me, flipping it open. It reveals an ace of kings? “Who wins?” I asked “On one, we keep playing until someone wins” “Okay, so it’s your turn now?” She nods and flips open a card. It reviles a six of diamonds causing me heart to jump “Did you win?” I asked pointing at the previous card she upturned “No, but close” “But it’s the same color” the five of hearts and six of diamonds were both red colored “Yes, but the shape has to be the same not just color”

I pick up the coins and shoot her an inquisitive look. Her accent takes me a moment to decipher when she says, “Throw the coins six times,” shaking her cupped hands to demonstrate. I follow the instructions, although I can’t tell which side is heads and which is tails when they land. She marks down the results on a pad with a cheap ballpoint: a stack of solid and broken lines, like the ones on the mirror frame. After the last toss, she writes the number twenty-one next to it, then quickly dashes out a second stack of lines and the number thirty-eight.

"If you win, I'll give you not just the inheritance, but both our lives as well. But if I win, you let us go." Anna was briefly stunned. Then, her lips twisted into an amused grin. "You really are insane. Sure, I'll play along. So, what's the game?" I pulled a coin from my pocket and held it up high. "A coin toss. Heads, I win. Tails, you win. Best two out of three," I explained. Michael frowned. "Zoe, there's no need to—" "I accept." Anna cut him off sharply and stepped closer. "Let's start."
