Chronicles of Eden - Act VII

by Alexander Gordon

  “Well excuse me for being born!” Kitten yelled out as she backed away from the group. “I didn’t choose Triska over anyone else, I didn’t choose to be how I am, and I certainly didn’t choose to become a human’s slave rather than a real fucking demon! But this is how I am, this is all I know how to be! This is the only life I have, the only way I can live, and like hell I’m going to give that up for her! If she does come back then I may disappear forever, I’m not going out like that!”

  “That’s her body!” Alyssa argued while pointing to her. “You can’t just take it and push Triska into oblivion!”

  “It’s either her or me!”

  “And we choose to have Triska,” Falla snapped. “Like that’s even debatable.”

  “Well too bad!” Kitten retorted while crossing her arms. “Like I said there’s nothing I can do about it. She’s going to disappear soon and I’m going to be all that’s left, body and mind. I can’t change that, no matter how many times my master orders me to I can’t do anything about it! Neither can you or anyone else!”

  “We will find a way to bring her back,” Daniel vowed with anger. “I will not lose her. None of us will lose her. No matter what it takes we’ll find a way to save her.”

  “Really?” Kitten laughed with a bitter smile. “And just how do you plan to do that? None of your spells or potions have done a thing. In a few hours she’ll disappear completely inside my mind. Face it, she’s as good as gone.”

  “She’s not gone yet,” Specca corrected with a glare at the cambion. “We will not lose our mate, you can be damned sure about that.”

  “Right, sure you won’t,” Kitten mocked while rolling her eyes. “You’re all going to magically save her at the last second. Everything’s going to be okay in the end, just like a fantasy tale. All your hopes for rescuing Triska from the big bad demon are just going to fall right out of the sky and into your laps, aren’t they?”

  As if on cue everyone looked up to hearing a girl’s scream getting louder and closer, followed a mere moment later by something flying down and crashing into Kitten at high speed. A small dust cloud blasted around the impact as Daniel and the girls watched with surprise and took a step back. Slowly the haze cleared away to reveal Kitten lying on her back with someone slowly sitting up on her lap.

  “What in Eden?” Kroanette questioned.

  Kitten shook her head to regain her senses before looking up at the newcomer with puzzlement, seeing a girl appearing to be in a daze atop her. Her legs from the knees down looked to be those of a bird with three toes and small talons on each. She wore a short light brown skirt with a belt that had three green gemstones on the front, a soft white shawl held together over her large bust with a single button, a necklace with smooth stone rocks carved into crosses adorning her chest, and her arms were brown feathered wings with the tips being colored white. Her long brunette hair was tied into a messy ponytail while her bangs covered the view of her eyes entirely, with only her mouth and a hardened nose that resembled a small beak being seen on her face. She appeared to be a little shorter than Kitten, though based on her figure and bust size she seemed around the same age.

  “What the hell?” Kitten said as the new girl wavered slightly while groaning weakly to herself.

  “Who’s that?” Pip asked curiously.

  The bird girl wearily looked around with eyes that were unseen then down to Kitten, or at least it was assumed to be down at the cambion with the angle her head was lowered to. She lurched a few times then promptly vomited on Kitten’s chest, the cambion staring with a stunned face while the others watched with further surprise as the brown and green goop splattered onto Kitten’s bosom. After she got it all out she just sat there atop Kitten who had a shocked look on her face while her hands were up by her head.

  “What the fuck?” Kitten shakily said.

  The new girl lurched a few times then rocked her head back with a deep breath before looking straight ahead while seeming to be in a daze still.

  “Are… you okay?” Luna carefully asked.

  “I’m fine,” the girl weakly replied while waving a wing to the side. She burped then looked down to the side with a gurgled murmur. “Just… hate flying.”

  With that the newcomer dropped to the side with a thump and passed out, leaving Kitten frozen on the ground with a shocked expression on her face, Daniel and the girls staring at them with confusion and disbelief, and Lucky simply neighing once nearby while all else was quiet around them.

  After a while Clover slowly shook her head and looked down and away from the group with bewilderment.

  “It’s just one shitstorm after another with you people.”

  Chapter 4

  A Kind Heart from the Skies

  In the world of Eden there were mysterious and lustful monsters that roamed the lands. Although where they came from or why they were only female was unknown, much was studied and documented about these dangerous creatures in an effort to better prepare those that came across them. Researchers and hunters spoke their knowledge and experiences to the world, explaining how these monsters lived and what could be done to either flee or slay them in the wild. However that wasn’t to say they knew everything about them, as stories that started out as fact could be twisted into fiction quite easily.

  The only way to truly know what these monsters were like was to meet them face to face.

  *****

  “This is bullshit,” Kitten muttered while she stood in a small stream that was flowing through a wooded area. Her clothing was set on a nearby rock at the river’s edge, covered in vomit with a few flies buzzing over them, while she washed herself off in the waist high current with a dull expression on her face.

  “You knew Triska was alive inside of you all this time,” Specca fumed with anger as she stood beside the river. Next to her Alyssa and Daniel were watching the cambion cleaning herself with harsh glares, something that didn’t seem to bother her as much as the fact that she had been thrown up on earlier.

  “Eh, thought it was just my imagination,” Kitten carelessly reasoned with a shrug.

  “What’s she saying?” Alyssa demanded while striking her staff into the ground. “You hear her, don’t you? What’s Triska saying right now?”

  “She’s not saying anything,” Kitten growled before setting her hands at her hips and scowling at something in front of her. “She’s just laughing at me. Yeah, ha ha, real funny, bitch! That fucking bird threw up all over your boobs but I guess that’s just hilarious to you, isn’t it?”

  “Very much!” Triska laughed with a bitter smile, her ethereal image and ghostly chains being seen clearly by Kitten as the teen appeared to be standing in the water in front of her. “When I get out of here I’m going to thank that girl for what she did. The look on your face was priceless.”

  “Just laugh it up,” Kitten scorned while rolling her eyes. “Go on, get a real good kick out of it. It’ll be the last thing you ever laugh about.”

  “You see her, don’t you?” Specca accused as she pointed to the cambion. “You’re having a conversation with her right now. You know damned well she’s not your imagination!”

  “Whatever,” Kitten scoffed before she resumed washing her body.

  “How long before she fades away? Tell us!” Daniel demanded.

  “She’s got until sunset at best,” Kitten answered with a shrug. She then glanced to Triska and saw the teen watching her with fright again, something that drew a sly smile across her face from seeing. “After that she’ll dissolve into my subconscious. She’ll be nothing but a faint memory in my mind, one that I plan on forgetting very quickly.”

  “I order you to save her!” Daniel yelled out.

  “I can’t do that, master,” Kitten said shaking her head with a smug smile. “I cannot give her back my body, no matter how much I or you want me to. This is my body now, I’m not going anywhere.”

  “I order you to save her!”

  “I can’t! I’m sorry, but there’s nothi
ng I can do.”

  “You’re not sorry at all!” Alyssa snapped at the girl.

  “You’re right, I’m actually enjoying this very much,” Kitten admitted with a giggle. “But still, I can’t help her. Nobody can. So that being the case, how about you fuck me right here, master? At least Triska can watch you making love to her body one last time.”

  Daniel growled with frustration and looked away while shutting his eyes. He desperately tried to think of some way of bringing Triska back, any way that they could save her before sunset, yet nothing came to mind.

  ‘Dammit, I can’t lose her like this! There must be something we can do. At the very least to buy us more time. Triska, I won’t let you go. We’ll get you out of there, I promise.’

  “What are we going to do?” Specca quietly fretted as she watched the cambion with discontent. “We’re running out of time, and nothing’s worked so far with giving Triska her body back. How are we going to save her?”

  “We’ll find a way,” Daniel answered, his voice conveying his sheer determination to uphold that promise. He took a few calming breaths, which didn’t calm him in the least, then looked to Kitten as the girl was watching him with a coy smile while slowly running her hands up along her body.

  “Master,” she purred in a playful tone.

  “Wash up and get out of there,” Daniel ordered sternly. “We’re leaving. Now.”

  “Leaving?” Kitten asked as she cocked her head to the side.

  “We’re not going to find the answer on how to give Triska her body back sitting around here. We’re going to leave and find help, wherever we can. Finish up and return to the caravan, we’re not waiting around any longer than we have to.”

  “She’s not getting her body back,” Kitten sighed with annoyance. “How many times do I have to say this? She’s not coming back, she’s not coming back, she’s never coming back!”

  Daniel and the girls watched her with dull glares while she crossed her arms and looked away with a stubborn grunt.

  “Not to mention the least you can do is wait for me wash up here,” she mentioned with a playful glance back at Daniel. “Seriously, my clothes need to be properly cleaned so you can rip them off my sexy body when you decide to have your way with me later.”

  “Specca,” Daniel said glancing to the nixie. “Let’s move this along.”

  Specca nodded then approached the river’s edge, kneeling down and placing her hand in the flowing stream while watching Kitten from above her glasses. The cambion glanced to her with a raised eyebrow as the nixie glared at her before seeing the current picking up around her suddenly.

  “What are you doing?” Kitten asked before her dirtied clothing flew off the nearby rock and into her face. She coughed and spat out the taste of vomit while yanking the clothes off then glared at Alyssa with a heavy growl as the witch lowered her staff from using her magic.

  “Hold onto those,” Alyssa dryly said.

  Kitten showed a puzzled look then noticed a large tidal wave barreling along the river towards her, the wall of water rising high as she slowly looked up to it with her wings drooping low behind her.

  Daniel and his mates watched as the wave swept through and crashed down on Kitten with a large splash, droplets of water raining down around them as the river quickly surged by from the nixie’s magic. The river slowly lowered back down to its normal height and pace to reveal Kitten standing there with eyes shut tight, drenched clothes held in each hand, and water dripping off her body and wings. Her tail slowly waved about behind her before she opened her eyes and spat out some water that had gotten through her pressed lips from the powerful wave of water slamming into her.

  “Let’s go. Back to the caravan,” Daniel ordered while waving her out.

  Specca and Alyssa smirked slightly at the cambion as she slowly glanced over to them and nodded once while soaking wet.

  “Yes, master,” Kitten flatly replied before spitting water out again.

  *****

  Daniel was leading the three girls back towards their ride parked further away near the worn trail, eyes set forward and not a word coming from his mouth as he was deeply focused on finding a way to save Triska from fading away in the cambion’s mind. Behind him Kitten was dressed and hopping a bit on one foot while shaking her other with an annoyed grunt, the girl also shaking her head to get the water out of her ears while her wings fluttered once behind her.

  “I think I got some mud or something in my boot,” she muttered before straightening out her skirt with an irritated sigh.

  “Tell someone who cares,” Alyssa scoffed as she and Specca walked behind the cambion, both keeping a close eye on the demonic girl with discontent while feeling their anger towards her for keeping Triska from them growing.

  “Unless Triska is trying to say something to us, not another word from you,” Specca sternly ordered.

  “Oh, well as it just so happens she is saying something,” Kitten mentioned before glancing back to them with a smirk. “She says the only regret she had in life was having to share you girls with her man.”

  “Nice try,” Alyssa retorted. “We both know damn well Triska cares for us just as she cares for Daniel. You’re not fooling us otherwise.”

  “But it’s the truth,” Kitten promised with a hand held to her chest. “I have her memories to prove it. She loathed having to share her love with such desperate and lowly monsters such as yourselves. And I feel for her too. Having to put up with you girls budding in between their romance, swallowing her pride when she had to touch you girls just to keep Daniel happy. The poor thing, I almost feel a bit of sympathy for her that she never got a last goodbye fuck from Daniel.”

  “You wretched, lying, despicable,” Specca growled with growing ire. “We won’t believe such things from you, we know for a fact Triska loves us.”

  “Right, keep telling yourself that,” Kitten laughed before looking ahead again.

  “Triska never said such a thing, did she?” Daniel flatly asked.

  “Nope, lying through my teeth, master,” Kitten answered before lowering her head with a grunt of frustration. “Dammit, that’s not fair.”

  “What is she saying? Tell me the truth,” Daniel ordered while keeping his eyes forward.

  Kitten sighed then looked back to the two girls behind them with a dull stare.

  “I know you’ll save me from this bitch.”

  “You can count on it, Triska,” Alyssa promised with a glare at the cambion.

  “She will not keep you from us, we swear it,” Specca added with a nod.

  “Uh huh, sure,” Kitten dryly said before looking ahead with a scoff.

  Daniel and the three girls made their way across the grassy field towards their parked ride and the rest of the group. Kroanette was gently brushing Lucky’s nose near the caravan and keeping him as calm as could be while she was watching with a curious eye the same thing the others were. In her bosom Pip was hiding between her breasts with only her head popping up as she watched the new bird monster nearby with a fearful whine.

  “Are you okay now?” Luna asked as she and her sister were kneeled down on either side of the bird girl and gently holding her shoulders to keep her from falling over.

  “I’m okay… I’m okay…” the newcomer wearily replied while her head rocked side to side.

  Squeak stood beside them watching the bird with a raised eyebrow while next to her Clover was looking around at the sky in search of any other monsters that may be raining down on them as well.

  “What’s a harpy doing way out here?” Clover asked looking down to the dizzy girl with puzzlement. “We’re nowhere near their nesting grounds.”

  “She appears to be rather ill,” Kroanette mentioned, then glanced down and saw Pip trembling in her bosom. “Pip? What’s wrong?”

  “Bird,” Pip squeaked out. “Big bird. Big bird. Make it go away.”

  Daniel walked over and stood before the harpy while watching her with a curious eye as she burped lightly an
d looked around the area with eyes that were hidden behind her bangs.

  “Are you alright?” he asked kneeling down in front of her.

  “I’m fine, I’m fine,” the girl assured waving a wing around. “I just don’t like flying.”

  Everyone looked at her with puzzlement as she appeared to be holding back whatever was still in her stomach from being thrown up.

  “You don’t like flying?” Alyssa plainly asked.

  The harpy shook her head slowly while remaining silent.

  “You’re a harpy,” Specca commented while pointing to the girl.

  “Yes. Yes I am.”

  “Harpies fly,” Alyssa said with a raised eyebrow.

  “I am well aware of that.”

  “But you don’t like to fly?” Luna asked curiously.

  “No, I get sick when I do. I don’t do well with heights,” the harpy said before holding a wing over her mouth and lurching a few times. “Ugh, I don’t like flying at all.”

  “You’re a harpy,” Specca repeated with bewilderment.

  “But you were flying earlier,” Falla said looking up. “How come you were up there if you didn’t want to be?”

  The harpy burped again then looked down to her bosom, shaking it a bit then hopping it up and down while the others watched with confusion. Daniel turned his head to look away as the girl’s bust jiggling around was difficult not to stare at with her revealing clothing while the harpy used her wings to bounce her breasts and knock them about.

  “Cilia?” the harpy asked while looking around in a daze. “Cilia? Um, where is she? Did she land here with me? Cilia? Where are you?”

  “Who?” Specca asked.

  “Cilia?” the harpy called out before she started crawling around on her wings and legs. Daniel watched her with puzzlement as she moved past him then quickly looked down with a hand over his eyes while the other girls jumped a bit at noticing something that he very clearly did.

  “Okay, harpies don’t wear underwear either,” Falla commented as she and Luna stood up together. “That seems like something that should go into Daniel’s guidebook, if it’s not already in there.”
