Chronicles of Eden - Act IV (2 page)

“What’s wrong, Triska?” Jacqueline laughed. “Don’t have faith in your hips to win this?”

“That has nothing to do with this!” Triska accused while pointing to them. “I know for a fact I would be better in bed with Daniel than any of them, the point is-”

“You wish, Triska,” Alyssa barked out at her. “You’ve never even had sex before in your life, what do you know about making love to a man? I know exactly how to take care of Daniel, and I’m none too shy to do everything to him to prove it.” Daniel blinked then looked to her with a mixture of surprise and concern at what she may be thinking of doing with him.

“I may be a virgin,” Specca snapped. “But at least I’ve researched how to pleasure a man for a long time. Not to mention I practiced on a mannequin I had in my old home for when I did find my soul mate in life.” She then immediately gasped and covered her face again with a loud whine as she realized what she said, with Daniel looking to her with wonder as the nixie shook her head while hiding herself.

Squeak kept squeaking and pointing to Triska before waving her hands around in indecipherable signals. The sisters looked at her curiously then smiled amusedly at Triska.

“She says she was born to have sex,” they relayed together. “You can’t beat her in bed.” Daniel glanced to Squeak as the ant girl showed a proud smile and a nod to that. Triska growled then pointed to herself with a stern expression.

“Don’t give me any of that crap. So what if you’re all monsters, I may be just a human but I can do everything you could with Daniel only better, longer, and without hesitation!”

Daniel looked to her curiously from that while the sisters tilted their heads inquisitively.

“Without hesitation?” Jovian asked.

“So you would let him do anything to you?” Jacqueline inquired. “Anything at all, no questions asked?”

“You’re damn straight I would!” Triska yelled out before pausing for a moment, then blinked and looked to Daniel with a jump. The boy just stared at her in silence as the girl turned red from realizing what she just blurted out before she shook her head with a whine then started smacking her forehead against the doorframe with a frustrated groan.

“Dammit, that’s not how I wanted to say this!”

Daniel stared at her with a stunned expression before looking to the sisters as they giggled in unison.

“My my,” Jovian mused slyly. “Sounds like all of them are eager to prove to you how much they love you.”

“Yes, so what do you say, Daniel?” Jacqueline asked coyly. “Want to take this game of yours to the final level and sample what each of these young ladies wishes to offer you?”

All the girls jumped then looked to each other, failing to form any words or response before they turned to Daniel to see what he would say or do. Daniel opened his mouth to speak to the sisters, hesitating before looking down with closed eyes.

“Hang on, are you actually suggesting that I… with them…
right now
?”

“Sure, why not?” the sisters asked with shrugs.

Daniel paused then slowly glanced to his side at Specca, seeing the nixie watching him from behind her glasses with worried eyes.

“Go on, Daniel, be a man and take charge,” Jovian purred.

Daniel then looked over to Squeak, the ant girl watching him with hopeful eyes as she squeaked quietly at him.

“Yeah, they want you to,” Jacqueline said with a smirk.

Daniel’s eyes then slowly moved over towards the cabin entrance where he saw Triska sitting on the front seat, the girl looking back to him as her hair fluttered in the breeze.

“Either in here or we can stop and you can take them outside,” Jovian mentioned casually.

And finally he looked over to Alyssa, the witch watching him with a worried smile that also gave her an adorable charm.

“What do you say, Daniel?” Jovian and Jacqueline asked together.

Daniel closed his eyes and breathed out slowly, trying to steady his mind and heart from the thought that all the girls were practically offering themselves to him right then and there. After a while he then looked to the sisters with an accusing stare.

“Jovian, Jacqueline,” he firmly stated. “That’s enough. This conversation is over.”

“Oh? How come?” the sisters asked together.

“Because we’re not engaging in anything of the sort today, that’s why,” Daniel specified while crossing his arms. “You may have forgotten, but I haven’t. I have a date with Alyssa tonight, as per our existing arrangement.”

Alyssa watched him with eyes of wonder while the other girls glanced to her curiously.

“So are you saying you don’t want to have sex with these girls?” Jovian mused with a smirk.

“I don’t know,” Daniel answered. “Maybe I will want to, maybe not, that’s not to be decided right now. Right now our concern is staying focused and finding Luna and Emily, and tonight the only girl I’m going to be spending any quality time with will be Alyssa. She’s waited all this time for her turn with being alone with me for the night, and she’s going to get it.” Alyssa smiled lovingly at the boy while the other girls looked to each other questioningly. Daniel glanced to Alyssa with a wink then looked at the sisters with a confident smile.

“Besides, it’s not enough to just have sex to determine if someone is the right match for you. If I feel the urge or desire to engage as such with any of them, I’ll do so only if the moment is right. Until then I will not rush this or try to make a hasty decision. All of these girls are special, they’re all precious to me, and I will not judge them based on their sexual prowess alone.” The other girls felt their hearts beating faster at his words before he gestured around to them.

“If I’m going to love any of them, it’s not going to be just because they can shine in the bedroom. It’s going to be because they truly captured my heart with everything they are and have.”

The sisters looked at him curiously for a moment then nodded with gentle smiles.

“I see,” Jovian replied. “So this is indeed the only way it can truly be settled for you.”

“Wow,” Jacqueline commented. “You have all these girls who want you and you’re still trying to be fair and noble about choosing.”

Daniel looked around to seeing the other girls smiling at him and nodded in agreement.

“I’m certainly trying my best in doing so.”

“That certainly speaks highly about you, Daniel,” Jovian complimented. “Having all these girls who are ready to give themselves to you and you hold back from taking them on the spot.”

“Yeah,” Jacqueline giggled. “I guess you really are a gentleman. Not many other guys would be able to resist so many female callers. These girls sure are lucky to have you.”

“We sure are,” Specca said softly, then quickly hugged Daniel close with his arm going between her breasts. “You really are like my knight in shining armor, so chivalrous and brave. I’m so thankful to have you in my life.”

Daniel looked to her with a jump and a weak smile, but before he could speak Alyssa leapt over and clung to his arm and shoulder while having a giddy smile on her face.

“I can’t wait for our night together, Daniel!” she cheered while bouncing against his arm. “I promise it’ll be the best night you’ve ever had, yes it will!”

Daniel looked to her with a nervous smile before Squeak lunged forward and hugged him tightly around the waist, the other girls looking to her with surprise as she squeaked up at Daniel with loving eyes while holding onto him. The sisters smiled amusedly at the sight while Jovian leaned back against a pillow.

“She says her whole heart belongs to you, Daniel. Now and forever,” Jovian relayed.

Daniel looked around at seeing the three monster girls smiling at him with adoration then over to seeing Triska growling with anger at them.

“What do you all think you’re doing? You can’t just hang all over him like that! Get off of him!” Triska yelled before she darted back into the cabin and tackled them, with Daniel and the four girls rolling around with shouts and squeaks while the sisters merely watched them tumble about on the floor. Alyssa and Specca held onto his arms for dear life while Squeak refused to let go of his waist, with Triska trying to push and kick them off as they all struggled to knock each other away as well.

“Yep, lucky for them,” Jacqueline repeated.

“Not so much for him,” Jovian commented as the two watched Daniel trying to plead for the girls to calm down, his words doing nothing at all to stop them of course.

Flying through the air Luna was carrying Emily in her arms, her wings fluttering gently in the air while the sun shined down through a few passing clouds. Emily was holding onto Luna while keeping her face buried in her chest, with Luna looking to her with a curious smile as they crossed over a few small wooded areas and rolling streams below.

“Emily, are you alright?” Luna asked.

“I’m alright, I just don’t like flying that much,” Emily said shaking her head.

“It’s okay,” Luna giggled. “I mean, you can’t even see how high we are anyway. For all you know we could be just above the ground right now.”

Emily slowly looked up to her with her dull eyes then turned her head as if she were gazing around at the surrounding world.

“Yeah, I guess that’s true.”

“Just think of us being right above the ground, that way you won’t be scared,” Luna suggested with a smile.

“You’re so good to me, Luna,” Emily said dearly. “I don’t want to be without you ever.”

Luna looked at her with wonder as the two stopped in the air, the butterfly girl holding the child gently in her arms as Emily nuzzled her head against the girl’s shoulder.

“You’re so nice to me,” Emily praised with a loving smile. “And I feel so happy with you, I don’t ever want to be without you.”

Luna felt a sense of warmth from her words as she held the child, a gentle smile forming on her face while a few tears welled up in her eyes.

“Emily, that’s so sweet of you to say. I’m so happy being with you too.”

“You’re going to stay with me, right?” Emily asked worriedly. “You’re not going to ever leave me, are you?”

“Emily,” Luna said softly. “I would love to, I really like you, but you belong with humans. I can’t stay with you in a human village.”

“I don’t want to say goodbye to you,” Emily whimpered. “I want you to stay with me, please.”

“I don’t want to say goodbye to you either,” Luna said with a saddened smile. “I just want you to be happy and safe. It’ll be okay though, you’ll be happy and safe with people like you. You’ll see, it’ll be for the best.”

“No, I don’t want you to go, I don’t ever want to lose you. I love you, Luna.”

Luna looked at her with a small gasp as the child turned her dull eyes up to her.

“I love you, Luna,” Emily repeated gently.

“You… love me? But I’m a monster.”

“You’re not a monster,” Emily reasoned. “You’re my best friend. I love you, please don’t ever leave me.”

Luna started to speak before Emily whimpered and held onto her tightly, the child closing her eyes as a few tears rolled down her cheeks. The giant butterfly looked at the girl with wonder then a gentle expression as she tried not to cry herself.

“Oh, Emily,” Luna said softly as she held the child close.

“Stay with me, forever,” Emily whimpered.

Luna looked at the girl with concern then around at the surrounding horizon as she flew in place above a grassy field.

“Emily…”

“I’m never going to let you go, Luna. Never,” Emily said quietly while holding onto the monster.

Luna held the girl close as she closed her eyes, wishing she could stay with the child as well. After a while she leaned back with a teary-eyed smile and shook her head gently.

“Hey,” she kindly spoke. “I promise I’ll come visit you, how does that sound? We can meet outside of your village and talk and play again, we can still be friends.”

Emily remained silent as the butterfly girl then started to fly off again while trying to force a smile on her face. After flying a great distance Luna slowly flew down and landed on a branch of a tall tree, overlooking the surrounding landscape as she took a few deep breaths.

“Wow,” she panted. “I’ve never flown so far before for so long, this is tough.”

Emily looked up to her with worried eyes as the butterfly girl surveyed the area with growing concern.

“I’m starting to get worried though,” Luna said sadly. “I haven’t seen any sign of Daniel or his friends, or even Falla. What if they went in another direction? Or what if we got turned around? Or what if they went in another direction and we got turned around?”

“Do you see anything around us at all?” Emily asked.

Luna looked around for a moment with growing distress as she held the child dearly.

“Well, I see trees, a big rock, the sky, some clouds, a village, some more trees, a cute little squirrel, and some more trees.”

Emily looked at her curiously as Luna just turned her head and gazed around at the nearby landscape for a moment before she blinked then looked ahead to seeing a human village further away. She could see a cluster of buildings that were set in the middle of a large clearing with a forest further past it, the human residences being made of wood and stone while there were smooth dirt roads leading into and out of the village.

“A village? A village! There’s a human village!” Luna cheered.

Emily pouted and clung to Luna while shaking her head.

“No! I don’t want you to leave me! I don’t want to go there!”

“But, Emily, you’ll be with your own kind there. You’ll be safe and have a home and be able to live a normal life.”

“I don’t care!” Emily cried out. “I don’t want to lose you! I’ll only go if you come with me!”

Luna held her with a troubled frown as the child clung to her chest with a whimper.

“Emily, I’m sorry,” Luna said shaking her head. “I can’t do that. Humans… won’t like me being there. I can’t live there with you.”

She then fluttered into the air holding onto the child while Emily shook her head quickly.

“No!” Emily screamed. “Don’t leave me there, please! Don’t leave me, Luna!”

Luna started to cry as she flew towards the town, with a wooden picketed fence surrounding the small village and a large wooden sign adorning a post next to the entryway by the road.
