Bianca, who had been standing to the side listening for who knows how long, stroked its chin.
"Go into your space. There's a talisman that makes things speak. Buy it and stick it on that thing. But it has a time limit, so pay attention."
Jane Sterling's eyes lit up. She quickly pulled out her phone, found the talisman Bianca had mentioned, and bought it.
Taking advantage of everyone's distraction, Jane Sterling stepped forward and slapped the talisman onto Hailey Warren.
All of a sudden, Hailey blinked her eyes, attempting to utter a syllable.
"Ah..."
Old Madam Warren, being the closest to Hailey Warren, jumped in fright. She grabbed Old Man Warren's wife's hand and flinched.
"You... You can talk?!"
Jane Sterling nodded and walked over to Hailey Warren. Even though she could now speak, Hailey Warren's body was still imprisoned within the tree, unable to move at will.
So Jane Sterling stood to the side, looked at Hailey Warren, and began to speak.
