Witch Beads Novels & Stories

We had already informed everyone of what we learned last night and how The Five wanted him present, but we were not certain why. “So, I have something for you three. It’s the custom of our people to wear blessed bracelets during special ceremonies and occasions. I blessed three of them for each of you for today. You don’t have to wear them, but I wanted to gift them to you regardless,” he said as he gave us each one. Of course, we would wear them. He was crazy to think we would not. He smiled as we slid them on. They were made with beautiful cherry wooden beads. Each bead was separated by silver rings.

Going closer to one of the beads Gu Shen squatted down and tried to look at the beads and notice its vibration pattern. Gu Shen's face turned pale. Without any further delay, he quickly got up strode with large steps towards his bag and took out another set of beads. This time Gu Shen did not throw the beads into the air and then point them towards the direction. Instead, he enchanted some spell on them and himself walked towards each and every bead and threw off the new beat onto the old one making a crack sound when it would hit each other. After all the new beads had been placed at the place of the old ones the vibration stopped and the room entered into its usual calmness without affecti

Torches illuminated the room without fail, not a single flicker was produced. In the center of the room was long table that could freely accommodate tens of people. There were wizlings already seated there when we arrived, they were wearing long white cloaks embellished with blue beads. In the center of the table was a huge crystal ball, it was akin to the scale of magic but was different in a sense that it was already glowing blue. The smoke inside was freely moving in circular motion. Beside it was a scroll locked by a chain of the same beads the monks have. “Welcome, please humble yourselves in partaking in this convention.” The seer with the most number of beads welcomed us.

I wore a white hoodie, white baggy jeans and white crocs. What? I like white. "Hey Jeff! Who's this?" Abella asked bouncing on her heel. The cowrie wristband was still on her wrist and around her waist were five waist beads made of cowries. I glanced at Mom, she was too engrossed in her show to pay us any attention. I was glad, I wasn't ready to listen to any lecture about how girls that wear waist beads are demonic and can steal men's destinies. Extreme I know. "This is my brother Lee."

The woman before me stretched her hand out and said, "Hello, my name is Jasmine Cooper. Do you like my beads?" She used her hand to show me the beads and said, "I also liked them a lot. Why don't I make one for you the next time we meet? "My friend was the one who gave me these beads, so they hold a special meaning for me. Hence, I can't give them to you. I-I hope you'll be able to understand." Understand? What was I supposed to understand? I stared at the string of beads and felt a wave of nausea. I didn't know if was the world or if it was due to my body, but my surroundings began to spin.

Children lift, chatter changes flavor and the world glances to its corners. Josie pads out of the hedge as if she’s the one with the spoon and the bead ring she had earlier is gone, wrapped in River’s net and sulking in Becky’s copper pouch. But her hand glitters green anyway. New trick. Sable always sends more beads. “You don’t get this stage,” she purrs, eyes on me like a cat on a low bird. “It’s my turn.” “You get a sidewalk,” Becky says through a cone loudly enough to be municipal. “Perform there.”

I waited in anticipation for her to try it. “Beri-nin!” She called out clearly. The bracelet formed first, with the delicate chains at the tips of her fingers, the claws extending three inches past her fingers. She moved her hands, smiling. “These are very inventive, Nothing like I had imagined.” She sniffed the air, “Creative indeed. Silver, oleander, wolfsbane, and yew wood. No wonder I don’t want to wear these regularly.”

Hedwig's heart swelled with joy. She took off the beaded necklace from her neck, strung with five-colored silk, and tied it around Derek's wrist. "Is this for me?" Derek asked. Hedwig shook her bell again. "Thank you," Derek said, caressing the special beads. A gift from his daughter, he vowed to treasure them always. Hedwig left Derek's room with a happy heart and returned to Tabitha. Tabitha patted the spot beside her, and Hedwig nestled into her embrace like a puppy.

Although one of them was so hard to perceive. I moved along the wind, dancing according to its breeze and the flowers' movements. All while slowly moving towards the treasure. When I finally saw it, I heightened my vision, and it was a small brown bead. Carefully made small steps while lying low. Moonlight kids are still in my line of sight. I stopped when I was in front of it. Transformed to my human form, and instead of being naked, I had Jacob’s hoodie on. I picked up the bead and..
