“They won’t die. Tearing their throats out, breaking them in half, they just won’t die. No matter what happened to them, they wouldn’t die,” Luna said worriedly. Sasha and Rulo glanced to each other then looked back to Daemon as the boy was watching Luna with a blank expression. Luna shook her head and rested alongside Emily as she closed her eyes.
“Be careful out there,” she said softly before falling asleep. Daemon watched her for a moment then looked up at the sky, with Sasha and Rulo waiting to hear what he thought of that.
“You two, finish eating,” he said simply, the two girls nodding then complying with his order. As they did Daemon drummed his fingers on the handle of his sword, his eyes gazing up at the stars as he seemed to be deep in thought about something.
Luna and Emily slept together on the grass, the butterfly’s wing acting like a cover for the young girl as they rested from their ordeal. Even though Luna knew she wouldn’t have long to sleep like this with her friend, she was thankful nonetheless for the chance to do so. Especially knowing that when their three guardians for the night departed, she and Emily would be all on their own once again, with man-eating monsters lurking about in the darkness.

The sun started to rise over the horizon as another day was beginning. A few birds chirped in a tree before flying off together, the leaves rustling a bit from their departure as light from the sun began to creep over the land. It crossed over hills and wooded areas before coming across a sleeping white horse which lay in a bedding of soft grass and flowers. Lucky’s tail swished slightly as the animal grunted a bit, the horse slowly waking from its peaceful slumber while nearby those inside a caravan were waking up too.
Inside the caravan Specca yawned as she slowly sat up and stretched out her arms, the nixie then lightly feeling around her pillow to find her glasses which she then put on as she blinked a few times. Next to her Squeak slowly uncurled from her ball with a soft squeak, the ant girl then stretching out her back while leaning down and forward with a yawn. And near them Alyssa opened her eyes and shot up, looking around quickly as she didn’t awake to something she was expecting to. She quickly rubbed her eyes then stood up as the other girls looked over to her curiously.
“Good morning, Alyssa. Um, is something the matter?” Specca asked.
“Listen,” Alyssa said quickly. The other two girls stopped and listened for what she was talking about, both hearing nothing but the gentle swaying of grass and leaves outside along with a horse that grunted again before slowly getting up onto its legs.
“I don’t hear anything,” Specca said shaking her head. Squeak shook her head as well while Alyssa watched the black curtain carefully.
“Why isn’t Daniel snoring?” Alyssa asked, with the other girls looking to the curtain curiously.
“Well, he doesn’t always snore, Alyssa,” Specca pointed out.
“But he usually does, what if something’s wrong? What if he’s not here?” Alyssa reasoned. The other girls looked at the curtain carefully then all of them quietly approached it, with Alyssa taking the blanket and yanking it down. As it dropped to the floor all the girls’ expressions changed from wonder to surprise.
* Five minutes earlier: *
Triska slowly woke up from her dream, which involved her being ‘disciplined’ by Daniel for ‘being a bad girl again’, a small smile forming on her face as she sighed happily at remembering it before looking over to see Daniel still asleep next to her. He was actually sleeping peacefully and quietly now, his mouth opened slightly with a bit of drool coming down from the side while he lay on the floor with the blanket partially covering him. Triska giggled and leaned on her elbow while watching the boy with a warm smile, her eyes admiring his facial features while she slowly rested her other arm over his chest.
“Best night’s sleep I’ve ever had,” she said quietly to herself. She licked her lips as she stared at Daniel’s, feeling tempted to wake him up with a good morning kiss. Quickly she looked over to the curtain, not hearing the other girls moving around yet as she slowly sat up. Looking to the window she saw daylight starting to shine through.
‘The night’s over, which means my turn is now officially up. Still, one more sweet kiss couldn’t hurt.’
She smiled softly as she leaned closer to Daniel, her hand sliding down his chest to his waist before it went a little further, with Triska jumping then looking to it as she felt something below the blanket. Her hand gently yet slowly cupped what was underneath, a blush forming on her cheeks as she realized what it was.
‘Wow, Daniel must be having a very good dream. Oh my god, I’m actually… touching… his…’
She gulped silently then glanced to see Daniel still asleep, and then slowly a coy smile formed on her face. She glanced to his crotch then to him again as she carefully sat up then gently moved over to sit over him. She kept her body up off of his so not to wake him, her hands holding her up as she leaned down towards Daniel’s face before she slowly lowered her hips down onto him. As she felt his hardened member touch against her crotch she froze with a quiet gasp, feeling her heart beating faster at the thought of what she was sitting on. Slowly her eyes glanced down to it before she gently shifted her hips back and forth, very delicately rubbing herself against him.
‘God… damn… I wonder how bad I need to be for him to punish me with ‘that’…’
She licked her lips then looked at Daniel with a bashful smile, the boy still sound asleep while Triska held her hair back over her shoulder with one hand. After a few more gentle rubs against him so that she had a very clear memory to daydream about later on, she slowly leaned closer to his face with a loving gaze.
“Daniel… I love you,” she said softly before kissing the boy, her tongue gently rolling against his lips as she felt her heart flutter from being near him like this. She slowly started to grind her hips against him, feeling her blush intensifying from the sensation of what she was rubbing against.
At that moment the curtain next to them dropped to the ground, with Triska glancing to the side to seeing the other girls staring at her with surprise. She froze in place as did her hips, seeing all the girls’ jaws drop slightly from seeing what she was doing to Daniel. Silence filled the cabin for a while until Triska slowly sat up and smiled nervously at the girls.
“Um, good morning,” she said with a small giggle. Alyssa’s eyebrow twitched a bit before she held her hand out to the side, her staff then flying over from the corner into it before it started to glow orange.
“And that is as far as my patience with her goes,” Alyssa said with a growl.
A mere moment later Triska crashed through the back wall and tumbled onto the grass away from the caravan, with Daniel shooting up from the sound as broken bits of wood fell off from the new hole in the back of the caravan.
“Wha, where, who?” Daniel stammered as he quickly looked around, his eyes then stopping on the hole in the back of the ride where he saw Triska tumbling to a halt further away. He blinked then looked over to see the three other girls giving Triska dull glares while Alyssa had her staff held out in front of her.
“What’s going on?” Daniel asked. Alyssa looked to him with a bright smile as she tossed her staff back onto the floor then quickly hopped over onto his lap.
“Nothing, Daniel, good morning, how did you sle-” she said before looking down with a gasp. She shifted her hips around while Specca and Squeak watched her concern, the witch hopping a bit on his lap then looking back to him with worried eyes.
“Hey, you didn’t get that from Triska, did you?” she whined. The other girls looked down to his lap then to him with a jump as the boy just blinked and stared at Alyssa with a confused expression. After his mind finally came to the realization that he wasn’t dreaming anymore he just shook his head.
“What?” he asked bewilderedly.
*****
A short while later Daniel, Specca, and Squeak were watching as Triska and Alyssa were hammering nails into new board
s to cover the hole in the back wall. The teen and witch had frustrated expressions on their faces while the others had confusion on theirs for a couple of reasons.
“I can’t believe we’re back to this again, I thought those two patched things up yesterday,” Daniel said tiredly.
Squeak pointed to Daniel with a worried expression then to Triska while squeaking something; however what she was saying was anybody’s guess at this point.
“I can’t believe Triska had more boards and nails in her duffel bag, how did all of that fit in there?” Specca asked as she glanced to Triska’s duffel bag near the back wall.
Triska hammered in a few more nails with a grunt then glanced to Alyssa.
“Why did you do that anyway? You didn’t have to go so overboard with telling me to get off him,” she snapped.
“Me go overboard? You were the one kissing and dry humping him in his sleep!” Alyssa yelled out at her, with Daniel jumping with a blush to that.
“I was only kissing him, you know, a good morning kiss! That’s it, I don’t know what else you’re talking about,” Triska shot back while looking to the wall with a flustered expression.
“We saw you on top of him, don’t try to deny it!” Alyssa yelled back. Triska shook her head while avoiding eye contact with everyone.
“You’re imagining things, I just wanted to give him one last kiss for my turn, that’s it,” she defended.
“Your turn ended when the sun came up!” Alyssa argued.
“Well… you could have just said so!” Triska reasoned nervously.
As the two went back and forth with their bickering Daniel sighed and looked down with a hand over his eyes.
“And we’re back to where we started with them,” he said in defeat.
“Daniel, was Triska really acting so perverted with you this morning?” Specca asked worriedly. Daniel looked to her with confusion then to Triska, the girl hammering in another board while on her knees and leaning forward.
“I don’t remember, I mean I just woke up to her…” he said before drifting off, his eyes watching as Triska’s rear shifted around slightly as she hammered in the board with a few grunts. For the first time ever he caught himself actually staring at her ass as it appeared more prominent in his eyes. Specca and Squeak watched him curiously as the boy fell silent for a while before shaking his head and looking back to the nixie with a weak smile.
“I don’t recall her acting like that at all, really,” he said with a shrug. Specca nodded a bit then moved over towards Triska and Alyssa, being careful to keep her skirt held down with one hand while her tail almost lifted it up. Daniel looked to Squeak with a shrug and smile, the ant girl smiling a bit in return before they both watched as Specca moved over towards Triska’s duffel bag and examined it.
“I still don’t understand, Triska,” she started before Triska groaned loudly then looked at her with exasperation.
“I told you, I just gave him a good morning kiss, that’s it!” she cried out.
“Yeah right!” Alyssa snapped with discontent. Specca looked at her with a raised eyebrow then shook her head.
“I’m not talking about that, I’m talking about how you managed to fit all of those boards into this one duffel bag,” she said looking down at the bag with bewilderment. She tried to examine the bag from all angles with a curious eye while Squeak shook her head and headed towards the front of the cabin, poking her head out of the doorway and seeing Lucky grazing nearby while he waited for Alyssa to come out to greet him. As she looked at the horse with curious eyes Daniel watched as Specca moved around the duffel bag while having a perplexed expression.
“I can’t wrap my head around it, how did you do it?” Specca asked with disbelief. As she slowly moved around the bag Daniel noticed that she too stood out to him more so than before. The way she gracefully moved about to inspect the bag from all sides, her hair gently swaying around while her tail slid about behind her, it was almost like a dance to him. She only crawled about on her hands and knees, slowly bending around to figure out how the bag was able to hold so much inside of it, and her figure seemed to become more noticeable as she had a delicate charm to her.
After a moment he blinked then quickly looked away while shaking his head, realizing that he had been ogling her.
‘What’s happening to me, it’s like I can’t stop staring at them now.’
He slowly glanced over to see Specca now lying on her legs, gently holding her skirt down while she used her other hand to carefully feel around the bag to determine if it was about to burst or not with whatever it may contain. Her eyes slowly gazed around at the bag as she tilted her head downward, in doing so Daniel managed to catch a glimpse of her eyes from over her glasses. Even though they were a normal brown it was like they had a warm serene glow behind them, hinting at her ability to charm men into submission should she so desire. Daniel even questioned if he had been charmed by her, or Triska for that matter as he glanced over to her again, watching as his friend was again yelling at Alyssa who was shouting right back at her. They had managed to fix the wall again but were still busy arguing about Triska’s actions that morning to care. He saw the girl still leaning forward on one arm against the wall while she was pointing accusingly at the witch with her other hand, her rear still being perked out slightly while her back was arched a bit. The way her hair gracefully rolled down her shoulders, how her butt slightly swayed around while she was on her knees, the sudden realization that she had an alluring figure all her own; it was as if he was really seeing her like a new person.
‘I only spent one night with each of them, what did they do to me?’
He shook his head then glanced to Alyssa. She was cute looking, had her own innocent charm even though he knew she wasn’t all that innocent on the inside, yet he didn’t see her in a different light than before.
‘I wonder if I’ll start thinking about her differently after our night together. What if I do start becoming attracted to her, or Triska, or Specca? What about Squeak, her turn with me is tonight, will I feel anything special with her too?’
He looked over to see Squeak leaning forward on the front seat while she watched Lucky grazing outside. Her tunic covered her upper body and thighs; however her dark panties were seen clearly while her insect abdomen stuck upwards off her lower back. Seeing her bottom clear as day like that Daniel quickly turned back around, not wanting the other girls to catch him staring at her butt like that. Slowly he glanced back over to see the ant girl then climbing up onto the front seat and sitting down, her hair fluttering gently in the breeze while her antennae twitched a bit. He already knew she had a lovely figure from head to toe, after all he had seen her naked on the day they stopped at a lake shortly after finding her. Yet she was so quiet, or at least not understood or heard by the others. Daniel wondered what kind of girl she really was inside, or better yet how he could communicate with that girl.
‘What are we going to do tonight together? There has to be something we can do even with the language barrier between us.’
Daniel looked down in thought while Triska tackled Alyssa to the floor, the two once again rolling around yelling at each other while Specca just examined the duffel bag with confusion still. The boy thought about how each of the girls was trying to appeal to him, to be more noticeable in his eyes. He had to admit that it was working, he already noticed more about Triska and Specca after having spent one night with them alone. Now Squeak’s turn was coming up, and he wondered if he would see the ant girl in a different light after it, and how he might feel about the mysterious girl then. Although he was out in the world with a purpose, he now found himself thinking about something very carefully, not just if he could get monsters and humans to coexist peacefully.
He wondered if any of the girls around him right now may end up being his girlfriend one day, or maybe even his lover.
*****
Running at a brisk pace once again, Lucky was pulling the larger caravan behind him while traveling t
hrough the outerlands with Daniel at the reins. They passed several large meadows of tall grass and hillsides, with Daniel on alert for any encounters, monster or human, they may come across. Sitting next to him Squeak was watching Lucky running with a curious expression. She had wanted to remain up front with Daniel while he guided Lucky through the wilderness, seeming to be very interested in the horse as she kept her eyes on it, and Daniel had given the ok to her being there since he was still trying to figure out how exactly she and him could get to know each other better as she was rather difficult to communicate with. He glanced to seeing the girl’s eyes glued to the horse, wondering what she was thinking about while she only tilted her head every now and then with a curious expression.
Sitting inside the cabin the other girls were going about their usual activities. Specca was sitting against a pillow with her tail curled up beside her, a good book in her hands, and a gentle smile on her face as she engrossed herself with a fantasy world from a human author. Next to her Triska was again tilting her dagger around in her hands, the blade reflecting some light as she just stared at it while deep in thought about last night. And across from her Alyssa was drumming her fingers on her staff which she had laid across her lap, her eyes watching Triska with a dull stare as she and her hadn’t said a word to each other since their morning argument.
“This is really nice and relaxing,” Specca commented softly while she turned a page in her book. Alyssa glanced to her then back to Triska while raising an eyebrow.
“So, Triska, what did you and Daniel do last night?” she asked with a bite.
“Well, it was nice and relaxing,” Specca sighed as she knew where this was going to lead. She closed her book and set it down beside her before looking to seeing Triska having a smug smile on her face as she just watched her dagger still.
“Nothing that concerns you,” Triska said casually.
“Triska, before Alyssa baits you into this conversation, we already know what you and Daniel were doing last night,” Specca said simply. Triska looked to her with a jump then to Alyssa as the witch was nodding slowly.
