The Lost Stones

"Eat it," a female voice echoed. "W...what?" Lillian answered.
"Doesn't it look delicious?" replied the voice. Lillian thought about it. "Well, yes," she called. The voice seemed closer now. "Take a bite, it won't hurt." Lillian thought to herself. Should she...take a bite? Where even was she? What is this place? And why should she trust this voice? She knew what she wanted, and the voice wouldn't change her mind. "Who are you? And why are you telling me to eat this?" The voice chuckled as it got closer. "I'm your very best friend. You can trust me. And I've known you long enough to know what you like and what you want. So eat it."
