chronicles of eden - act I

  "Just what I said, I love him more than anyone and I'm going to be his mate," Triska retorted with a glare back at the witch. Squeak pointed to herself and squeaked a few times before Specca tackled her to the ground, the nixie shaking her by the shoulders as the girls watched with surprise.

  "I was saving that for my first time, for Daniel! How dare you take that feeling away from me like that, it belonged to Daniel!" Specca raged as she shook the ant girl, which of course was only merely budging her, as Squeak just looked up at the girl curiously. Specca broke down crying as she started to hit the ant girl in the shoulders with her fists.

  "You stole my first orgasm, that didn't belong to you! I'll never get that back, never never never!" she yelled out. Triska and Alyssa glanced to each other then looked to Specca as the nixie was crying while hitting the ant girl. Squeak just watched her with a worried expression then caught the nixie's hands, holding them in place effortlessly as Specca struggled and thrashed around in her grip.

  "I hate you! I hate you I hate you I hate you!" Specca cried out as she sobbed uncontrollably. Squeak looked at her with remorse then over to the other girls, both of them watching Specca with wonder.

  "Hey, calm down Specca," Triska said holding a hand out towards her.

  "Yeah, not like you were ever going to feel that from my Daniel," Alyssa said shaking her head.

  "Yours?" Triska snapped accusingly at the witch with a glare.

  "I hate you!" Specca screamed out, growling loudly as the girls watched her thrash around atop Squeak. The ant girl moved her aside effortlessly and stood up, with the nixie struggling around still in her grip as she was brought to her feet as well.

  "You took it from me, you took it from me! Damn you!" Specca cried out before she broke down crying, slumping against Squeak as she sobbed loudly. Squeak looked at her with concern then over towards the other girls, both of them watching as the nixie cried in sorrow.

  "You… you… you monster!" Specca screamed out shaking her head. Squeak let go of the girl's hands and backed up a bit, showing a worried expression as Specca held her arms around her again while looking down.

  "I never once touched myself; I never felt that with anyone or anything. I wanted it to be special, to be felt with somebody I love. And now it's gone!" she cried out dropping to her knees, holding her hands to her face as she cried. The other girls looked at her with surprise as she shook her head while sobbing.

  "You never even touched yourself? Ever?" Alyssa asked with disbelief.

  "That… really was your first…" Triska asked softly. Specca trembled and nodded shakily.

  "Wait, you can't be serious. You never… not even once? Ever?" Alyssa asked with wide eyes. Specca looked to her with frustration and tears while nodding.

  "I wanted to save everything for my first love, for my soul mate!" she cried out. Triska looked at Specca with wonder. Even she had at least gotten herself off in the past, although she did so thinking of Daniel every time. Alyssa watched Specca as she cried, wondering how a monster could have gone so long without ever getting any release from her pent up urges.

  'How could she have gone so long without ever once letting it out? Especially on the Dark Sabbath?'

  "How… how could you have saved that for so long? What about the Dark Sabbath?" Alyssa asked puzzled.

  "Dark Sabbath?" Triska asked glancing to her. Specca looked at the witch with teary eyes as Squeak glanced to Alyssa curiously.

  "You had to have done something then, anything," Alyssa accused cautiously.

  "What's the Dark Sabbath?" Triska asked. Alyssa glanced to her then to Specca as the nixie looked down in shame, then up through the broken ceiling at the sky above.

  "It's a time when the monsters of Eden go into a mating frenzy, when our inner nature peaks. It happens when the moon turns crimson in the sky, when the stars vanish from sight, and we monsters are consumed with lust," Alyssa clarified cautiously. Triska looked at her carefully then up in thought, remembering on certain nights when the moon was seen to be red while living at home.

  "Yeah, I've seen that before. But I never heard of this Dark Sabbath thing, and I don't think Daniel's ever mentioned it before either," she said looking back to Alyssa.

  "You really were sheltered in that village of yours. The Dark Sabbath is when all monsters under the crimson moon go crazy with their emotions. Even the gentlest of bovinettes would go mad with lust and try to rape any human it could find. It’s a dangerous time in Eden, all monster-neutral cities won’t allow monsters anywhere near their borders when a crimson moon is coming up," Alyssa explained. Triska looked at her with wonder then to Specca, the nixie looking down with remorse still.

  "How could you not have done anything during the Sabbath? It had to have affected you as well. You were even living in a human city, how could… how?" Alyssa questioned, shaking her head with disbelief.

  "Because I didn't allow myself the opportunity," Specca remorsefully confessed. The girls looked at her curiously as she shook her head slowly.

  "Whenever the crimson moon was about to come out I left the city, went into a secluded cave nearby, and chained my hands to a boulder. I used a twin lock mechanism around my wrists that would only unlatch if I turned two keys at the same time, and the only way I could do that was to use my tail and mouth. During the nights of the crimson moon I couldn't use both keys properly while I lost control of my body. I couldn't touch myself, nor control my tail properly to use it either. I denied myself any chance of finding a human and raping them, and also any chance I could of pleasuring myself," she said softly. Alyssa watched her with wonder as the nixie continued to weep quietly.

  "I wanted my first time… to be special. I wanted that first blissful feeling to be meaningful, to come from somebody I loved. I wanted that to be Daniel!" Specca cried out before sobbing into her hands once again. The other girls looked at her then to each other.

  "I don't believe it. It must have been unbearable for you on those nights," Alyssa said looking back to Specca. The nixie nodded as held her hands to her face.

  "I was willing to go through the torture for somebody special, I would have gone through hell itself if I could have kept that special feeling sacred," she whimpered.

  "So wait, on every night there's a crimson moon out, that's when this Dark Sabbath thing happens? And every monster goes into a mating frenzy?" Triska asked looking to Alyssa. The witch nodded and looked up at the sky through the broken ceiling of the cabin.

  "It's a rare time, but when it happens all monsters on that night lose control of themselves. Those that were mindless and out of control to begin with become truly dangerous, and even those that were peaceful turn into real monsters. Only those with extremely high constitutions can keep in control, but even for them it's incredibly difficult," she explained. Squeak looked at her curiously then up, squeaking a few times quietly.

  "Whoa whoa whoa, hold on. That means that when this Dark Sabbath thing happens, Daniel's going to be right next to three monster girls who are going to go crazy with lust?" Triska asked with shock. Specca turned her head away with a whimper while Alyssa looked down with closed eyes.

  "Don't worry, Triska, I won't make Daniel endure a crazed witch on the Sabbath. I'll give him my focuser and he can tie me up in the caravan or something," Alyssa said with a shrug. She blinked then looked up thoughtfully, imagining Daniel tying her up and feeling a blush slowly forming as she smiled slightly at the idea. After a moment she glanced to Squeak as the ant girl showed a curious expression still.

  "She however… is going to be a problem," Alyssa said simply. Specca looked back over to Squeak as Triska eyed the ant girl who was clearly the strongest in the group.

  "Oh god, she'll be unstoppable during the Sabbath. An ant girl going on a mating frenzy, she'll be a nightmare for us to deal with. Why the hell didn't you tell Daniel and me about this earlier?" Triska yelled out at Alyssa.

  "I was planning on doing so when the time came; we've been a bit busy with othe
r matters. Besides, I have no intention on placing Daniel in a risky scenario with any monsters during those nights, myself included. I'll make sure he's safe from all of us," Alyssa said looking from Squeak over to Specca. The nixie whimpered and looked down with teary eyes.

  "That's going to be a big problem, how are we going to propose the idea of coexistence if all monsters go crazy when a crimson moon is out? Mankind isn't going to want allies that go into an uncontrollable mating frenzy like that," Triska said shaking her head. Alyssa breathed out and shrugged.

  "I don't know. Hopefully… we can really control our inner nature, like Daniel believes," she said optimistically. Triska looked at her with worried eyes then down. She wasn't sure which she should be more concerned about; that their goal of monsters and humans coexisting now had another hurdle to jump over in addition to the overwhelming odds stacked against them, or that Daniel would be traveling with three monster girls that, during the Dark Sabbath, would become real monsters and pose a serious threat to him.

  Alyssa sighed then looked back over to Specca who was still whimpering while holding her hands to her face.

  "Would you get a grip already? So what if Squeak made you climax, big deal. It's not like she took your virginity. There's nothing wrong with you getting off from time to time, you're a monster after all. Hell, even humans need relief every now and then," she pointed out expectedly. Specca sniffled and glanced up to her as Triska walked past them.

  "I need to tell Daniel about this, he needs to know," Triska said while heading towards the doorway.

  "No! Please don't tell him this happened! You can't!" Specca cried out as she grabbed hold of the human's waist as she passed by, clinging to her while on her knees and looking up at the girl with pleading eyes. Triska looked down to her puzzled then tried to pry her off.

  "Would you let go already? I meant tell him about the Dark Sabbath. Calm down," she grunted as she tried to get the nixie off of her. Specca sobbed and let go, looking down with watery eyes as Squeak watched her with a worried expression. Triska looked at Specca with sympathy then to Alyssa, the witch just watching the nixie weep with a raised eyebrow. Alyssa glanced to Triska who motioned towards Specca, the witch then rolling her eyes before walking over and looking up with a dull expression.

  "If it makes you feel any better, you having an orgasm doesn't make you any less 'pure'," she said reluctantly.

  "And how would know anything about that? Who are you to speak to me about being pure?" Specca snapped at her with anger and frustration. Alyssa paused for a moment then looked back to the nixie.

  "I've bewitched men into giving me themselves in the past; I’m not going to defend against that. I've used charms, potions, allure, and force. I even nearly did so to Daniel when I first met him," she said softly.

  "That doesn't make me feel any better about this at all, if anything it just makes me hate you too," Specca said glaring at the witch. She then watched as Alyssa smiled at her.

  "I was a fool, following my nature blindly and letting it control me. I was… just like those other witches we saw out there. A real monster," she said before a tear dropped from her face. Specca looked at her curiously as Alyssa glanced to Triska, the teen showing her a gentle smile.

  "But Daniel saved me from that, he even risked his own life to do so. After how I treated him, and what I was going to do to him, he nearly died trying to save me," Alyssa said looking down with closed eyes.

  "Why? Why did he?" Specca asked carefully.

  "Because he thought I was worth saving. When my inner nature was consuming me he stood by me, and helped bring me back. After seeing firsthand what kind of monster I was, and knowing what I was like in my past, he kept me by his side. He trusts me, Specca, cares for me," Alyssa reasoned, looking back to her. Specca looked at Alyssa with wonder as the witch smiled at her.

  "If he can see something pure within me after all that, after what I used to be like, do you really think you're any less pure in his eyes after you got some pleasure from Squeak tending to your injury?" she asked curiously. Specca looked at her for a moment then down as Squeak walked over to her, the ant girl then kneeling down on one knee with a curious smile.

  "But… I…" Specca said softly as she gently tugged her skirt.

  "C'mon, Specca," Triska said gently. The girls looked over to her as she was smiling at the nixie.

  "You have a job to do, Daniel's counting on you," she said with a shrug.

  "Job?" Specca asked. Triska nodded as she walked over to her, taking hold of Specca's hand and bringing the girl up to her feet.

  "You're the monster expert out here, aren't you? Then you'd better update his guidebook about this Dark Sabbath thing, you're the one who works best with the books after all," she reasoned. Specca looked at her then around at the other girls, all of them smiling at her.

  "Why… why are you being nice to me? Don't you hate me… for wanting Daniel?" she asked carefully.

  "Can't say we're thrilled about that," Triska said with a dull smile. She sighed then shook her head.

  "But there's no sense fighting about it, that won't do anyone any good. We're out here together for Daniel, we need to get used to being around each other," she said with a small shrug.

  "To coexist, we have to help each other. That's Daniel's belief; that monsters and humans can live together peacefully. If we're going to help his cause we have to live by that as well," Alyssa agreed with, looking down with a gentle expression. Squeak nodded and squeaked something, her antennae twitching slightly.

  "Still…" Triska continued, getting everybody's attention.

  "That doesn't mean I'm giving up on winning Daniel's heart, I've been chasing after that boy for too long to just give up now," she said with a confident smile. Alyssa smirked at her with a twitch of her eyebrow.

  "That goes double for me. He saved me from being another lustful witch of Eden, and I owe my body and soul to him for that," she proudly stated. Squeak started waving her hands around while squeaking something, once again giving a long and presumably heartfelt speech about how she would be the best girl for Daniel. Specca looked around at the girls then smiled slightly.

  "I still say I'm the most suitable match for him. And I will save myself and my innocence for him and him alone, he's the only one who deserves it," she said softly. The girls all looked around at each other with challenging smiles, all of them standing firm in their belief that each of them were the better choice for the boy they loved.

  "Well then, girls, let's not keep Daniel waiting," Triska said with a smirk.

  "I would never dream of doing so," Alyssa mused with a grin. Squeak nodded with a simple squeak in agreement. Specca nodded as the girls started to walk out together, looking down with a gentle gaze.

  "Squeak," she said as they exited the cabin. Squeak glanced to her as Specca smiled softly at her.

  "Thank you… for earlier," she said kindly. Alyssa giggled and glanced to the nixie.

  "For treating your wound, or for getting you to moan like that?" she asked with a laugh. Triska chuckled as Specca blushed and shook her head nervously.

  "For healing my wound, that's all!" she pleaded loudly. Triska and Alyssa laughed while Squeak smiled at the nixie, the four girls walking back across the clearing towards the caravan. Triska climbed up and looked inside, then around with a puzzled expression.

  "Daniel?" she called out.

  "He's not in there?" Alyssa asked.

  "Daniel?" Triska called out again as she stood on the driver's seat of the caravan. The girls all looked around curiously as they saw no sign of the boy nearby.

  "Where did he go off to?" Triska asked scratching her head. Specca looked around then shrugged with a weak smile.

  "Maybe nature called for him as well," she suggested with a slight laugh.

  "Please, you have to help me," the butterfly girl whimpered as Daniel watched her with wonder. She struggled to pull free from the vines that bound her yet wasn't able to budge at
all, seeming to be on the verge of tears as she shook her head shakily.

  "Please, I beg of you," she pleaded with frightened eyes. Daniel nodded then walked closer to her, the girl watching him before looking around worriedly.

  "What…" he started, wondering if he should ask what happened to her or what she was first.

  "I don't have much time, please, you have to help me," she begged again. Daniel eyed the girl over curiously. She didn't have any weapons, and didn't seem physically strong at all. He quickly looked around then back to her as she whimpered.

  "What… what happened to you?" he asked carefully, thinking that asking what she was now didn't seem as important.

  "It was a group of witches, they did this to me. Hurry, you have to help me or else I'm going to die," she wept before hanging her head low, sobbing quietly.

  "Die? What do you mean, what happened?" Daniel asked as he brought out his dagger from his shirt pocket. The girl looked to it then squeaked in fear, her eyes going wide as she saw the blade. He glanced to it then shook his head with a worried smile.

  "I'm just going to cut you loose, I won't hurt you. I promise," he said gently. She looked at him worriedly then nodded quickly.

  "Thank you… thank you so much," she said with a few tears still dropping from her face. Daniel ran over and started to cut the vines that were wrapped around her arms.

  "What did those witches do to you?" he asked as he cut a few off.

  "They put a curse on me, those horrible little monsters. I didn't do anything to upset them, yet they still did it just for their sick laughs," she said looking away with sorrow. Daniel cut a few more vines off her right arm then walked over to her left, the girl shaking her free arm a bit then looking at Daniel with adoring eyes.

  "Please, don't let me die," she said shakily.

  "You're going to be fine; I'll get you loose here in no time. You're not going to die here," Daniel reassured with a confident smile.

  "No, you don't understand," the girl said shaking her head. Daniel cut a few more vines free then glanced to her. She sniffled and looked at him with pleading eyes.
