Harvest 1XX+3: Ann/Harvest Sprites - Silence is Golden

Oh my Goddess…oh my Goddess they're going to kill me. Or worse…they're going to make me one of them. I thought to myself as I sat in the very tiny hut that the harvest sprites have set up near the church. Jack told me about the tea parties the harvest sprites held each day in spring. He said that by giving them each a present, they will let you join them and have their special harvest sprite tea. Curiosity got the better of me and I decided to see what it was all about.

I wasn't prepared for this though.

I squatted there, like a giant trying to fit inside a human house, as the sprites silent drank their tea. That's all they did. No talking, not music, not even a whisper. They just sat there, taking their time sipping their tea. They poured me some, thankfully in a cup I could drink out of, but they didn't say anything else. The various sweets on the table were never touched and they never got out of their seats. The only thing that happen when I got here was 'ok, let's start.' And with that…nothing. Nothing but tea.

Were they plotting against me? Was it so weird to have me here that they all became quiet? Maybe Jack just took the tea and ran. It would make sense. Having to sit here and do absolutely nothing is maddening! Maybe they're planning to use me. Abuse me. Make me their slave! Oh Goddess…I don't know what to do. Should I run? Is that even an option? Nothing happen because I didn't allow myself to do anything. I fear that one sudden movement and I could ruin the whole atmosphere and thus, never be able to come back. After sitting through this for the first five minutes, that doesn't' seem like a bad option. Bu now I'm still here, thirty minutes in. I'm trapped. They have me cornered. What's worse, is that they are still plotting. But how. No voices are heard. Are they telepathic? Can they communicate with their minds alone? Oh goddess, was that movement? I wanna go home! I-

Suddenly, the sprite in the red outfit turned his head towards me. I looked down at him as he stared straight into my soul.

"…I love you."

"NOPE! NOPE! NOOOO! I'M DONE! PEACE!" I yelled as I did my best to get myself out of the hut as fast as humanly possible. I opened the door, pushed myself out and start to run for the hills.

"…I told you telepathically that was a bad idea!"

The End…for now!
