Chronicles of Eden - Act 2

by Alexander Gordon

  “Hey, what about me? I’m better looking than all of them combined; why not assume I’m his mate?” Falla spat out. Jovian and Jacqueline looked to her with amused smiles.

  “Hardly, a rat is more appealing than you,” Jovian quipped.

  “A dead rat even,” Jacqueline added before they giggled together.

  “Ok, I like these girls, a lot,” Alyssa commented.

  “No complaints here so far,” Triska replied, with Squeak nodding in agreement. Falla growled with anger at them while Jacqueline shook Triska lightly and got her attention again before leaning down over her shoulder to get closer. Triska glanced to her curiously as the girl’s mask had a soft bloom to it from the light and hid the view of her multicolored eyes.

  “Tell me, do you wish to have his heart? Be honest,” Jacqueline whispered. Triska glanced to Daniel who was looking around at the group worriedly while Falla was just watching them with a dull expression.

  “Well, yes, I do,” she whispered back.

  “Then aren’t you afraid of those three stealing him away? I know I would be if I were you. Why is it that you willingly let them travel with you like this?” Jacqueline asked softly while brushing the teen’s hair gently. Triska looked back to her nervously then to the others, with Specca glancing down at her hips and waist timidly, Alyssa slowly straightening out her skirt while she watched Daniel with a soft smile, and Squeak holding her arms closer to her sides to push her bosom together, the ant girl looking at herself curiously before at Daniel who was just sitting there with stunned expression on his face still.

  “Well, it’s complicated,” Triska said shaking her head.

  “Complicated? I don’t understand, how is this complicated?” Jacqueline asked as she stood upright again. Triska looked down with concern as the other girls watched her curiously.

  “We all love him,” she said softly.

  “You all love this boy?” Jovian asked. The four girls nodded as Daniel looked around at them with a worried smile. Falla however scoffed and crossed her arms while scowling at the new girls. Triska smiled slightly and glanced to Daniel while she gently brushed her hair back around her ear.

  “Yes, we all do. It’s no secret between us, or with him, we all love him,” she admitted.

  “Then, does that mean that you love them all too?” Jacqueline asked looking to Daniel. The boy jumped a bit then looked down with a troubled frown as he fidgeted his hands together in his lap.

  “Well, I’m not… it’s just…” he stuttered, and then glanced around to seeing the four girls watching him with worried eyes. He took a moment to think of what to say then breathed out slowly before smiling a bit at them.

  “The truth is, I care for them all, very much. They’re all special to me, and I’m lucky they’re here with me today. And, I know how they all feel about me, how they wish for me to choose one of them to be with, but I haven’t figured out if I feel the same way about them as they do with me. I… I don’t know how to choose just yet,” he admitted with remorse. Jovian and Jacqueline looked to each other then to Daniel curiously.

  “Oh, you’re undecided on who to take as your loved one, I see, that’s too bad,” Jovian said softly.

  “But if they all love him, how is he going to choose who to pick? I don’t know how he’s going to decide on such a thing, there are so many choices in front of him,” Jacqueline said with a purr while shaking her hips slightly. The other girls blinked then looked to her with small glares as the blonde girl giggled.

  “And what do you mean by that?” Triska questioned.

  “There are only four choices in front of him, in case you are hinting at anything otherwise,” Specca clarified sharply. Jovian and Jacqueline looked at her with a small jump, both seeming to be taken aback by that, then started laughing and shaking their heads.

  “Wait a moment; are you implying that we’re interested in him like that?” Jovian asked.

  “I don’t know, are you?” Alyssa asked carefully.

  “Of course we aren’t, he’s not our type,” Jacqueline laughed with an amused smile.

  “He’s not your type? What do you mean by that, what’s wrong with him?” Triska snapped. Jacqueline giggled and walked over to sit by Daniel, with Jovian walking around and sitting on the other side of the boy. All the girls watched them closely while Daniel looked back and forth between the two sisters as they smiled curiously at him.

  “You seem really sweet, Daniel, and you must have done something right to have all these girls falling over each other to get to you,” Jovian said while gently tracing her finger around on Daniel’s chest, much to the anger of the other girls. Jacqueline giggled and rested her head on the boy’s shoulder while holding onto his arm gently, also causing more ire in the other girls.

  “Yes, you have so many choices in front of you on who you could be with, but sadly we’re not among them,” she said with a saddened smile.

  “Really? Oh, ok then,” Daniel said nervously, thinking that was the only correct answer he could give anyway.

  “Yes, sorry, but you’re just not at all what I find attractive,” Jovian said shaking her head.

  “Yeah, you couldn’t get my blood going if you tried, sorry,” Jacqueline agreed with.

  “Ok, this is starting to sound like you’re saying he’s not good enough, which is kind of insulting,” Triska warned.

  “It is insulting, there isn’t another man in all of Eden that could compare to Daniel,” Specca huffed with her hands at her hips.

  “Just what’s wrong with Daniel to you anyway, he’s perfect!” Alyssa shouted out. Daniel glanced around at them curiously then looked to Jovian as the girl shook her head slowly.

  “He’s a he,” she said simply with a shrug. The other girls stared at her puzzled as the two sisters giggled and looked around at them with amused smiles.

  “Yeah, you all have a better shot with us than he does, especially you, Triska,” Jacqueline said with a purr at Triska. The other girls then showed startled expressions while Falla raised an eyebrow at the two sisters.

  “What are you talking about? She’s a girl like you two,” Falla pointed out.

  “Really? I think she looks more like a woman to me,” Jovian purred at the teen. Triska stared at them with wide eyes then slowly pointed to them.

  “Wait, are you saying… you two…” she asked carefully. Jovian and Jacqueline nodded and stood up together.

  “We don’t care much for men, not our thing,” Jovian said with a shrug.

  “Yeah, we’ve always had a real taste for women,” Jacqueline said with a playful lick of her lips. The other girls looked to each other curiously while Falla showed confusion to that.

  “What? What do you mean you don’t like men, how else can you get pregnant?” Falla asked shaking her head. The sisters looked to her with disturbed expressions.

  “We don’t wish to get pregnant, can’t you understand that?” Jovian asked expectedly.

  “Yeah, if a guy ever shoved his dick into me I’d rip it off and shove it down his throat,” Jacqueline snapped. Daniel looked at them with confusion then with a curious eye as he finally understood what they were getting at.

  “You’re both lesbians,” he reasoned. The two sisters giggled and smiled at him.

  “That would be correct,” Jovian agreed.

  “Glad we didn’t have to spell it out for you,” Jacqueline added before looking to Falla with a small scowl. Falla just stared at them with a baffled expression while the other girls looked to the sisters with curiosity.

  “That’s why you were so flattering to us about our looks, you really thought we looked that way,” Specca said with a soft blush.

  “Of course, we would never lie to you, we only spoke the truth about each of you,” Jovian answered.

  “You really think I’m the cutest here?” Alyssa asked with an eager smile.

  “You really think I’m… perfect, from head to tail?” Specca asked timidly.

  Squeak merely squeak
ed something while running her hands down along her breasts and hips.

  Jovian and Jacqueline giggled and nodded as they looked around at them.

  “Yes, we have a real eye for delicious looking girls in this world,” Jovian said arrogantly, with Alyssa, Specca, and Squeak showing curious smiles to that. Jacqueline giggled then looked to Triska as the girl was looking down worriedly, the teen wondering if the other monster girls really were more attractive than her.

  “Though, to be honest, I’d choose Triska over the rest of you, no offense of course,” Jacqueline mentioned, with Triska looking to her curiously from that.

  “What? You would? Why?” she asked, not knowing if she should feel proud of that or disturbed. Jacqueline nodded and looked her over with a playful smile.

  “I like girls with a bit of kick to them, the feistier the better, and you seem like a firecracker to me,” she purred before giggling. Triska showed a slight smile to that and glanced to Daniel, the boy showing an awkward smile himself as he was looking around at the girls.

  “Well… thank you, I think,” Triska said with a small shrug.

  “Jacqueline, watch your wandering eye, especially when right in front of me,” Jovian mentioned with an accusing smile at her sister. Jacqueline whined and looked up with a weak smile.

  “Aw, c’mon, I’m only looking, not touching,” she said before hopping around a bit. Triska and the other girls laughed while Falla just continued to watch the sisters with confusion and annoyance.

  “What the hell is wrong with you two? You’re supposed to be looking for guys to fuck, not girls to cuddle with,” she scoffed. The group looked to her with dull expressions while the sisters held back their grunts of discontent.

  “Falla, just leave them alone. If they wish to seek the company of women over men then that’s their choice,” Daniel lectured.

  “Yes, not all humans want to find a mate of the opposite sex, there are some that prefer their own gender rather than the other,” Specca informed sharply.

  “If they want to be with another woman rather than a man, that’s their choice in life, so bud out,” Triska snapped. Jacqueline walked over to her sister as Jovian scoffed at the butterfly girl, the blonde sister then holding Jovian close and whispering into her ear.

  “Can we eat that one tonight? I don’t like her,” she asked quietly. Jovian slowly shook her head as the two sisters looked at Falla with dull stares from behind their masks.

  “No, she’ll scream alongside her sister when we find her, it’ll bring them each more misery and pain,” Jovian answered quietly.

  Alyssa looked at Falla with annoyance then to Jovian and Jacqueline curiously.

  “So, you two have been traveling the world, meeting different people and even monsters, all simply because you want to?” she asked. The two sisters looked to her and nodded.

  “That’s correct,” Jovian answered.

  “So you’re not afraid of monsters?” Alyssa asked.

  “I don’t fear you, or your friends, if that’s what you’re talking about,” Jovian said kindly.

  “Yeah, you’re not bad at all,” Jacqueline agreed.

  “We don’t make you feel uneasy, even a little bit?” Specca asked.

  “Nope,” the sisters replied together. Daniel smiled with relief at the two girls and nodded slightly.

  “So, there are others that don’t see monsters as ultimate evils in this world,” he reasoned. Jovian looked to him with a solemn gaze and shook her head.

  “Well, we know some can be friendly, and others pay girls such as ourselves no mind since we cannot give them what they want, however there are very bad monsters out there, we’re not blind to that,” she pointed out.

  “Like the ones that killed all those poor lycans, those things were just terrible,” Jacqueline said softly. Jovian slowly walked over and sat back down on her seat while Jacqueline followed, the two sitting together and holding hands while staying very close to one another.

  “The truth is there are more evil ones than good ones, this is just how the world is,” Jovian explained with a tone of remorse.

  “You wish to bring humans and monsters together peacefully, but I don’t think that will be a possibility. Monsters, good ones and bad, will always be monsters, their nature cannot be changed,” Jacqueline said shaking her head.

  “That’s not true. Monsters can fight their inner nature; they can control themselves around us. Look at our friends here, they’re not doing anything bad at all with me, they’re trying to help me even,” Daniel reasoned while waving around at the girls. Triska nodded then pointed to Falla.

  “She’s not an example of that however, just ignore her,” she mentioned, with Falla looking to her with a grunt then back down to the fire. Jovian shook her head and looked to Triska with a worried smile.

  “You wish to have his love, but what happens should you gain it? Will these monsters just accept that and back down? Or will they pursue him still, maybe even steal him away from you if need be?” she questioned. Triska showed a bit of surprise to that then looked around at the other girls with concern.

  “What happens when one of you wins this boy’s heart? Will the losers just give up and leave, or will they stay and fight for what they desire?” Jacqueline asked looking around at the girls. All of them glanced to each other then to Daniel, the boy trying to think of what to say about that. Silence fell upon the group as the fire crackled and wavered slightly.

  “I think we should stop this conversation for now,” Specca said softly.

  “Yeah, I don’t want to talk about this anymore,” Triska said shaking her head.

  “Me either,” Alyssa added, with Squeak nodding in agreement.

  Daniel nodded and glanced around at all the girls, seeing them looking down at the fire with troubled frowns. Although they determined a fair way in finding out whom Daniel really felt strongly about, they didn’t plan on what would happen after he made his final choice. There would be one winner who would be with him, and three who would be forced to leave the new couple alone.

  After a while of uncomfortable silence Daniel then smiled a bit and stood up.

  “Well, it’s getting late, we should probably get ready to turn in for the night,” he proposed. Squeak looked to him with a bright smile upon hearing that and squeaked eagerly. The sisters looked to her curiously as the other girls glanced away as they knew what that meant.

  “Turn? Turn for what?” Jovian asked.

  “Tonight is her turn to sleep with Daniel,” Triska explained softly. The sisters looked at Squeak curiously then to Daniel as he nodded to that.

  “Her turn to sleep with you? Oh my, so you are engaging in lecherous activities with all of these girls,” Jovian said with a sly smile forming.

  “Daniel, you naughty boy you,” Jacqueline purred. Daniel jumped a bit then waved his hands in front of him with a nervous smile.

  “No, it’s not what you think, it’s… um…” he stuttered.

  “Complicated?” Jovian said knowingly.

  “It always is with you people,” Jacqueline giggled.

  “No, well, yeah, I mean… I can explain,” Daniel said with a weak smile. The sisters giggled and shook their heads in unison.

  “Daniel, you don’t have to explain anything, we’re not judging you,” Jovian said with a wave of the hand.

  “Yeah, whatever you do is up to you. If you want to travel around with monsters and have casual lovemaking sessions with them, then that’s your choice,” Jacqueline said with a shrug. Daniel froze and just stared at them with a stunned smile while the other girls jumped a bit from hearing that.

  “What?” Daniel squeaked out.

  “Hey, it’s not like that, she’s not having sex with him tonight,” Triska argued. Squeak looked to her with a raised eyebrow and squeaked something, with the other girls turning to her with dull expressions while the sisters showed curious smiles.

  “Oh? Because she said that’s up to Daniel, not you,” Jovian replie
d playfully.

  “So he chooses which girl to have each night? I suppose that is one way of satisfying everyone,” Jacqueline reasoned with a thoughtful nod. Daniel jumped a bit then quickly shook his head while shutting his eyes.

  “That’s not what this is about, this is just so we can get to know each other better, that’s all!” he pleaded. Everyone looked to him as he smiled nervously at the sisters.

  “To know each other better?” Jovian and Jacqueline asked together.

  “Yes, that’s why we’re doing this, I spend the night with them one at a time so we can talk and get to know each other more, or do whatever we like while having privacy. I know they all love me, but I’m not sure if I feel that way about them in return, so doing this will let me get a sense of how I really feel about each of them,” he explained.

  “Oh, I see, like a date night,” Jovian said curiously.

  “Yes, exactly, like a date night,” Daniel quickly agreed. Jacqueline nodded then smiled slyly at the boy.

  “Date nights can include sex too though, can’t they?” she asked with a giggle. Daniel hesitated then nodded with a weak smile.

  “Well, yes, they can. But that’s not the reason why we’re doing this,” he pointed out. Jovian and Jacqueline nodded then looked to Squeak.

  “Well then, that sounds like fun for you, having him all to yourself for the night,” Jovian said with a tilt of her head.

  “Yeah, have fun, good luck seducing him,” Jacqueline said before they both giggled together. Squeak smiled a bit to that while the other girls rolled their eyes, all of them not looking forward to having to play the waiting game through her turn that night. Falla smirked then stood up while holding her hands at her hips.

  “Alright then, shall we head inside?” she asked. The group looked to her as she smiled innocently at Squeak.

  “I’m ready whenever you are,” Falla said kindly.

  “She’s a part of this as well?” Jovian asked dryly.

  “And during Squeak’s turn?” Jacqueline questioned. Falla laughed then walked over and stood beside Squeak, the ant girl glancing to her with a dull expression as the butterfly rested a hand on her shoulder and shook her lightly.
