Chronicles of Eden - Act IV (57 page)

Luna grabbed her temperamental sister and dragged her back while Triska and the other girls helped Daniel onto his feet, the boy watching as Falla was growling and trying to swipe at him with her hands.

“You fucked with my sister’s head! You’re supposed to fuck her in the pussy, not her head! Goddamn you!”

Daniel just stared at her with confusion then noticed Kroanette watching him with a worried smile.

“Hello again, Daniel,” she said politely. “How are you doing on this fine morning?”

“Kroanette? What’s going on here?” Daniel asked looking around at the three monster girls.

“You stupid human!” Falla shouted out. “You fucked with my sister! And not in the good way!”

Luna held her back while the other girls watched them with puzzled expressions.

“Please stop, Falla!” Luna pleaded. “Please, I need his help to-”

“No you don’t!” Falla yelled out at her. “For the last time, he’s an idiot! Raping humans is what we do, that’s how we live in this world! It’s the natural way of life for monsters!”

“No it isn’t,” Specca firmly argued. “Raping anyone is an evil thing to do, and your sister finally understands that. You should listen to her.”

Falla shoved Luna aside with a yell before marching towards Daniel and holding finger out to him accusingly.

“You! Tell my sister right now that raping humans is what monsters need to do to survive!”

“I will do no such thing,” Daniel rejected while shaking his head. “How could you even ask me to say something like that?”

Falla looked at him with wide eyes then slapped him across the face, the boy recoiling from the hit as the girls around him glared at Falla with anger.

“Dammit!” Falla shouted out. “You stupid human! If my sister doesn’t rape a man she’ll
never
get pregnant! Quit spreading your ridiculous nonsense about humans and monsters living together in peace. That’s never going to happen!”

Daniel stared at her with bewilderment before his girls slowly walked past him towards Falla, the butterfly girl backing up with a frustrated expression as the four girls glared at her with rage.

“Number one,” Triska stated with narrowed eyes. “If you
ever
touch Daniel like that again, you’re dead.”

“Number two,” Alyssa added as her eyes glowed softly for a moment. “If you ever
speak
to Daniel like that again, you’re dead.”

“Number three,” Specca lectured. “Monsters and humans
can
live together peacefully. We’re living proof of that.”

Squeak squeaked something while pointing to Falla with a stern glare, her words obviously not being understood by anyone there but the general vibe she was giving off showed that she pretty much agreed with what her friends just said, especially regarding anyone mistreating Daniel like that in front of her.

Falla growled loudly as she glanced from one girl to the other, with Daniel’s group standing before him as they all stared down the butterfly girl.

“You’re all out of your minds, all of you!” Falla shouted out. “Humans and monsters living together in peace, nonsense! No monster in their right mind would ever agree with what you’re saying, not even the most mindless and depraved monsters would believe in something so preposterous! Anyone that thinks humans and monsters can live together is fucked up in the head!”

“Is that a fact?” Charlotte asked from behind.

Everyone looked to seeing the alpha walking into the residence with Apoch and Astreal following behind at her sides, the head witch watching Falla with a raised eyebrow.

“Charlotte,” Daniel said softly.

Alyssa jumped a bit then quickly bowed as she lowered her head.

“My grace,” she greeted shakily, trying to sound formal while her voice conveyed she was fearful in the alpha’s presence.

“So then,” Charlotte questioned. “Are you saying that anyone who thinks humans and monsters can live together in peace is ‘fucked up in the head’?”

“Yes, that’s right,” Falla insisted. “I mean you of all monsters see how crazy that is. Humans would never
choose
to be with our kind, or any monster race. That’s never going to happen.”

Charlotte just stared at her for a moment then glanced to Daniel.

“Funny,” she mentioned. “As I recall, that human right there took three monsters to bed with him along with a human girl, and I do believe he certainly gave it to them of his own free will.”

Falla jumped a bit and tried to form some form of response, only managing to get out a few weak stutters, as Charlotte looked back to her with a dull stare.

“So tell me,” she inquired. “If he could do it, why not other humans as well?”

Falla stammered something for a moment before the alpha held her wand out towards her, the butterfly girl then freezing in place with a fearful whine as the witch narrowed her eyes.

“I came all this way,” she coldly stated. “On a lovely sunny morning, to a dead village that is partially burned to the ground, when I have many more important matters to deal with. Now then, why do you think I did this?”

“I hope not to kill us, or Alyssa,” Specca mentioned with a nervous smile.

Charlotte smirked and tilted her head while watching Falla tremble in fear before her.

“If I wanted any of you dead I would have had my two helpers dispatch all of you,” she reasoned. “My presence here would not have been needed.”

Apoch and Astreal giggled in unison while they held their staves upright at their sides, both smiling arrogantly to that. Falla glanced to Daniel then to Charlotte with disbelief as she slowly shook her head.

“No way, you couldn’t… actually…
agree
with what he’s saying, could you?”

“Would that make me ‘fucked up in the head’ if I did?” Charlotte asked.

Falla gulped then slowly backed up while shaking her head more.

“No, not at all, of course not,” she whimpered.

Charlotte slowly lowered her wand then looked to Daniel with a dull smile.

“Before you speak, you and all your friends will
listen
, understand?” she ordered. Daniel and the girls all nodded before Charlotte looked to her wand with a casual flick of the magical stick. “Now then, first let me congratulate you on your excellent performance last night. I honestly didn’t think you had it in you, but you certainly proved your worth as a male ready for breeding. Good job.” Daniel smiled weakly to that, not being sure if that was a compliment or an insult, before Charlotte continued.

“Although as I understand it you had some help with a special enhancer, you chose to do so of your own admission and knowledge of what would happen to you, and thus owned up to your word that you would prove your belief to me of willingly mating with not only one monster but three at the same time. So for that, bravo,” she said carelessly, with Apoch and Astreal merely giving two dull claps each in a mocking response. Again Daniel wasn’t sure if they were insulting or complimenting him, so he just smiled and nodded. Charlotte paused for a moment then glanced to Daniel with a raised eyebrow.

“You have my attention, Daniel, for doing what I thought was impossible. However, the idea of witches and humans living together in peace is just too difficult to see happening, even with your efforts,” she informed solemnly, with Daniel and his group showing devastated expressions to that. Luna and Kroanette looked to Daniel with worried eyes while Falla glanced to him with a smug grin.

“But, my grace-” Daniel started before Charlotte held out a finger to him.

“What did I just tell you earlier?” she asked expectantly, with Daniel hesitating for a moment before nodding slowly and closing his mouth. Slowly Charlotte lowered her hand then shook her head slightly.

“It’s just I can’t see your grand plan succeeding, Daniel,” she explained. “
You
may be able to love a witch, to love a monster, but I cannot see the rest of your kind being as accepting as you are. I couldn’t possibly persuade my sisters or even other alpha witches of such an unbelievable idea as humans and monsters living together in peace as things stand now. I myself am even struggling to believe it can happen. You must understand, I must do what is best, and possible, for my kind.”

Daniel lowered his head with closed eyes and nodded slowly, remaining silent as he felt his hopes cracking from the witch’s words. The girls all looked to him with remorse before Charlotte smirked and walked towards the boy.

“Now now, Daniel,” she mentioned, with Daniel and the others looking to her curiously as she smiled slyly at the boy. “I did come all this way to meet you, didn’t I? If it was a simple no to your question that was needed I wouldn’t have personally bothered with the trip. You see, you’re a special human, Daniel. The only one I’ve seen that genuinely surprised me the way you did last night. You actually took Alyssa the Wildfire Witch, of all witches, to bed with you of your own free will, and fucked her brains out.”

Alyssa blushed and glanced to Daniel as she gently used one hand to rub her rear, feeling it slightly sore still from when Daniel indeed took her with more force than she thought him to possess.

“I just couldn’t believe it,” Charlotte continued. “I found the idea of anyone loving that
letchyask
simply too much to believe alone, and yet you did it, and I mean you
really
did it. So I thought to myself, could this human truly do what he promises? Could he really bring about peace between our races even though the odds are certainly not in his favor?”

Daniel looked to Alyssa who was watching Charlotte with a mixture of wonder and remorse from that then watched as the alpha gestured for him to kneel before her, which he promptly did so.

“You wish to speak to your queen in Rockhelm about monsters and humans living together in peace,” she speculated before holding her wand under his chin to keep his gaze on her. “Something that is likely to get you beheaded by your own kind for speaking such blasphemy. And you plan to bring as many monster races with you as ‘proof’ that we can all talk about this peacefully, something that is going to be nearly as suicidal to you as those siding with your beliefs in front of your kind.”

Daniel glanced down to the wand then back to the alpha as she cocked her head to the side while watching him with what he thought to be a glimmer of sympathy.

“You will likely die by the very monsters you wish to speak to,” she reasoned with a shrug. “Raped to death while your friends are killed for being in your company. Does that not scare you?”

Daniel merely shook his head while remaining silent before she continued.

“You’ll be met with ridicule and rejection by many, perhaps even by your own dear followers in due time. You do realize this, yes?” Charlotte criticized.

The other girls opened their mouths to speak in protest before the witch glanced to them, all the girls then closing their mouths while shaking their heads with stern expressions. Daniel shook his head as well, with Charlotte then nodding slowly as she lowered her wand.

“Alright, Daniel,” she stated decisively. “If you truly believe you can make your dream a reality, then by all means go ahead and try. I shall not try to stop you in the least. However you will need quite a loud voice to make your words heard to your kind as well as the world, that much is for certain, very certain indeed. Therefore, I will offer you my assistance only on one condition, and
only
this condition.” Everyone watched her with wonder as she held up one hand with all her fingers and thumb spread out.

“Bring five monster races to Rockhelm with you to present your beliefs to your queen, five races that agree to side with you on such an outlandish idea…” she ordered, before slowly moving her hand forward and gently taking hold of Daniel’s chin as she gazed into his eyes. “Do that, and I shall bring the sixth.”

Daniel jumped with surprise as the other girls looked to each other with growing smiles.

“You will?” Daniel asked. “You’ll stand with us then?”

“If you bring five other races of whom you managed to convince that what you say is possible,” Charlotte answered as she stepped back. “Then I shall personally join you in Rockhelm to speak with your queen. However, any less than five just will not do, I shall not stand with a fool after all.”

Daniel stood up as all his girls looked to him with amazement then to Charlotte, the alpha then pointing to Alyssa with a dull glare, with everyone watching her with concern.

“Make no mistake though,
Alyssa
,” she sternly warned. “You are not welcome here in my land, you are by no means forgiven for your crimes against our kind, and it is only because I feel sympathetic for your dear mother that I offer you this chance to leave here alive. Only myself and my helpers here know of your presence in this land, and it will stay that way to avoid any riots in my village. But if you
dare
show your face here again, whether Daniel succeeds with his quest or not, you shall be put to death, understand?”

Alyssa whimpered then bowed before her while closing her eyes.

“Yes, my grace, I understand.”

Daniel looked at her with remorse then to Charlotte as the alpha scoffed and turned away with discontent.

“My grace,” he humbly pleaded. “Should Alyssa help me with my quest, to bring about peace between witches and humans, could that help absolve her for her mistake in the past? She’s not a bad witch, she just couldn’t control her magic. Isn’t there any chance of redemption for her?”

Charlotte glanced to him for a moment then to Alyssa, the frightened witch backing up a bit with a quiet squeak as the alpha and twin sisters watched her with harsh glares.

“She’s a
letchyask
, Daniel,” Charlotte condemned. “There is no path to redemption for her.”

“Never say never, my grace,” Daniel reminded hopefully. “After all you yourself once believed a human could never love a witch.”

Charlotte smiled slightly and looked to him with a simple amused murmur.

“Daniel, I dare say the odds of you succeeding with your radical dreams are greater than her ever being forgiven for what she did. If you truly care about that witch, keep her far away from my land,” she reasoned before turning to walk out of the home. As she got to the door she stopped and glanced back to Daniel with a raised eyebrow.
