Act IX

by Alexander Gordon

  “Yeah, it did,” Falla agreed. “We were all there, it happened.”

  “Of course you were all there, I dreamed you were. And that fight was entirely impossible. Daniel avoided Astreal’s attack by means that simply couldn’t have been done in real life.”

  “He used your spiritwalk technique,” Specca informed her. Doku turned to her in confusion as the nixie slowly walked over and knelt down before the harpy. “Daniel received monster energy from you during the fight, he saw your spirit in his mind just as he does with ours. And just as he’s able to gain special abilities by channeling our monster energy into his being, he was able to do so with yours. He used your spiritwalk magic to avoid Astreal’s attack.”

  Doku remained silent for a moment then shook her head and pointed towards the main court.

  “But the hall was severely damaged during that fight, and yet when I walked through there a moment ago nothing was out of place at all. Not a single blemish to be seen anywhere. Explain that if you can.”

  “The two ‘freeloaders’ over at the table fixed it up,” Triska said pointing to Apoch and Astreal, the twins smiling amusedly at the harpy and waving to her. “They used their magic to put everything back to normal before we all came in here to eat.”

  Doku looked down in thought from hearing that then shook her head at Triska with a troubled frown.

  “No, that can’t be right. I distinctly remember the court being in horrible condition and then everything was fine again.”

  “That’s because it was in horrible condition,” Kroanette explained. “And then when Daniel gave you a kiss you fainted. Triska put you in the bedroom to rest while Apoch and Astreal fixed everything up. You didn’t see them using their magic, you were out for a while when they did that.”

  Doku slowly looked around at the girls who were all nodding in agreement then turned her gaze onto Apoch and Astreal.

  “But… wait, why would you even try to kidnap me and Clover in the first place?”

  “We just wanted Mr. Daniel to stop being so hesitant with making his choices,” they both replied together. “We were never going to take you away, we just wanted to give him a small kick in the ass to get moving and be more decisive.”

  Doku remained silent for a while then shook her head and pointed at the twins with her wing.

  “Then how are you two saying everything in perfect sync with one another like you are? That can’t be normal either.”

  “They’ve always done that!” Kroanette cried out. “Are you serious? Am I really the only one who ever notices this?”

  Doku lowered her head with a stunned expression on her face before shakily turning to the girls with a quivering lip.

  “Wait… are you… are you saying… I’m awake?”

  The girls slowly nodded while remaining silent.

  “This isn’t a dream?”

  The girls slowly shook their heads.

  Doku trembled and shakily looked over to Triska, the cambion quietly nodding also. With a gulp Doku slowly faced Daniel while her face turned deep red.

  “I really… said…” she stuttered out, with Daniel nodding at her. “And… I acted… like… with…”

  Daniel nodded with a grimace, causing Doku to shake more in horror at the growing realization of how she had actually been behaving with everyone. She then slowly looked down to his crotch, her mouth opening slightly in shock as her breathing turned ragged.

  “And… I… I…”

  “Blew him like none of us could believe,” Clover finished.

  Doku let out a long high-pitched whine before promptly dropping onto her back with a thump. Everyone gathered closer as Luna brushed aside the harpy’s bangs, showing her eyes were closed as she had lost consciousness from the shock that she actually gave Daniel a blowjob.

  “Doku?” Pip worried as she flew out of Luna’s bosom and landed in the harpy’s. “Doku? Are you alright?”

  “What happened to her?” Cindy asked while kneeling down behind Daniel to peek over his shoulder.

  “She didn’t know she was awake,” Specca realized in disbelief. “She thought she was dreaming the whole time.”

  “Why would she think that?” Astreal and Apoch asked.

  “She gets confused about her dreams,” Daniel empathized with remorseful eyes on the harpy. “It’s a side effect with her spiritwalk magic she learned to use. Sometimes she can’t tell if she’s dreaming or not.”

  “I couldn’t believe how she was behaving,” Kroanette mentioned. “She turned into the most lecherous whore I’ve ever seen. Is that how she is in her dreams?”

  “She was acting like a fucking slut,” Clover agreed. “That was a complete turnaround from how she normally is.”

  “So, what do we do now?” Falla asked the group. “Are we mad at her? Upset? Worried?”

  “I’m still confused,” Luna said shaking her head. “She was like a different person just now. I just don’t understand how anyone could change that much so quickly. One second she’s this nice, sweet girl, and then the next she’s out of her mind. It was so strange to see her acting like that out of nowhere.”

  The group just looked at her with blank expressions from that, the butterfly girl scratching her head in genuine wonder and not noticing them at all.

  “Yeah, it was a real first seeing something like that,” Triska dryly agreed before looking to Daniel with concern. “Daniel, what are we going to do about this?”

  “I don’t know,” he pondered shaking his head. “I don’t think we can get mad at her, she had no idea what she was really doing. She’s shown us this problem before too, it’s not exactly news to us that she has this condition.”

  “She sucked you off in front of all of us,” Specca reminded him. “This is way worse than her sneaking into our bed to sleep by your side. We can’t just let that slide.”

  “She crossed the line, big time,” Triska reasoned, with Squeak nodding with a squeak to that.

  “Are we saying what I think we’re saying?” Kroanette worried.

  “What are we saying?” Cindy asked looking around at everyone. “I don’t understand what’s going on.”

  Daniel and the girls stood up around Doku, all watching as the harpy remained asleep and defenseless before them. Alyssa then stepped forward and knelt down by Doku, gently reaching out and brushing the hair away from her face.

  “Alyssa,” Daniel spoke before the witch glanced up to him and shook her head slowly.

  “Daniel,” she said in a solemn tone. “I will accept that you care for her, and that you chose her to be your mate. We all care for her too. She’s part of the family, there’s no denying that.”

  Daniel nodded with a worried look as he recognized the gleam behind the witch’s eyes, showing that even though she was exhibiting a calm demeanor she was absolutely furious inside and that would only lead to one outcome for the girl who crossed that line.

  “However,” Alyssa continued with a firm tone. “She has done something that will not be tolerated or easily forgiven. As a member of our family she needs to be taught a lesson, and she will accept the punishment given to her as it would be given to any that piss me off like she has.”

  “No, Alyssa,” Luna whimpered before Falla took her by the shoulders and backed her away.

  “It’s too late, Luna,” Falla sorrowfully told her. “I’m sorry. There’s nothing we can do for her now.”

  “Doku, you poor thing,” Kroanette mourned as she backed up. “Please be strong.”

  “It’s going to hurt us more than it’s going to hurt her,” Specca softly reasoned.

  Star mewed with ears drooping low while holding her hands back on her rear, the jinx slowly stepping away along with Squeak who shared the same troubled expression on her face for Doku’s fate.

  “What’s going on?” Cindy asked as Daniel backed her up along with himself.

  “No, don’t do it, Alyssa!” Pip pleaded as Triska reached down and picked the fairy up in her hands. “Take me ins
tead! Take me instead! Not Doku! Not Doku and her boobies!”

  “I’m sorry, Pip,” Triska sighed as she held the squirming fairy in her hands.

  “What’s happening?” Cindy asked again. “Why is everyone sad now?”

  “Ms. Alyssa,” Apoch and Astreal spoke up curiously. “Just what is it you’re going to do to this girl?”

  Alyssa slowly brushed Doku’s hair, almost seeming to dread the act herself, before glancing over to Clover as the elf lowered her head and nodded as she understood the family rules very clearly. The elf took a steady breath then looked to Doku with remorseful eyes.

  “Bad girls get punished in this home.”

  *****

  Lying on the bed Doku quietly murmured as she began to wake up, her eyes presumably opening from behind her bangs as she moved her head around to see where she was. With a gasp she quickly sat upright, breathing picking up as she suddenly remembered what had happened.

  “Oh my word,” she whimpered. “It was just a dream, it had to have been. It was all just a dream. Oh god, I feel so sick.”

  “It wasn’t a dream,” Clover said, with Doku hopping with a squeak and noticing the elf and Alyssa standing near the bed.

  “None of it was,” Alyssa added shaking her head. “Not you putting violent ideas into Cindy’s impressionable young mind, speaking to Apoch and Astreal with complete disdain, or even giving Daniel a blowjob in front of god and everyone else. All of that was painfully real, Doku.”

  Doku wavered slightly with a hoarse whine before lowering her head and hiding behind her wings.

  “Now I feel even sicker,” she lamented. “What have I done?”

  “You acted like a succubus in there with him,” Clover answered. “You were sure talking a lot more freely with all of us too. Never thought you could even say the word fuck, let alone use it so loosely while begging Dan to pound your pussy.”

  “Oh god!” Doku wailed as she broke down into tears. “I can’t believe I did that! How can I possibly make amends with everyone after this? I’ve ruined everything! I knew I was the absolute worst in the world, and I was right!”

  “Stop it!” Alyssa yelled, with Doku turning to her with a whimper. “Would you stop putting yourself down all the time? It’s really getting annoying to keep hearing you talking like that.”

  “But I am the worst! I was a complete nightmare with everyone, I spoke to Twilight’s helpers with such horrendous words, and… oh dear lord… I actually… sucked off Daniel! Oh my god, what the heck was I thinking?”

  “You were probably thinking ‘Hot damn, Dan’s dick’,” Clover mused with a small blush forming before Alyssa shot her a glare. The elf smiled nervously at her then quickly cleared her throat. “I mean, you weren’t thinking at all, you thought you were asleep or something like that, right?”

  “That’s no excuse!” Doku cried out. “I… I… I raped my husband! There’s no excuse for that, no way I could possibly be forgiven for such a thing! He must hate me now, he must hate me so much! And the other girls, there’s no way they could possibly look me in the eye now after what I did!”

  “No shit, we can’t even see your eyes,” Clover commented. Alyssa stomped on the elf’s foot, getting a loud yell and slurred obscenity from the girl as she hopped around in pain, then walked closer to the bed.

  “Doku, you didn’t rape him,” she assured the harpy.

  “Alyssa, I can’t take this,” Doku sobbed as she dropped onto her side. “What have I done? I thought I was dreaming, I thought I could be with Daniel in such a way without hurting anyone, I thought everything he did was just my fantasy playing out to get me closer to him. I hurt him, I hurt everyone, there’s no recovering from this mistake.”

  “Doku, it’s not the end of the world,” Alyssa gently said sitting down next to the girl. “You messed up, that’s for sure, and you surprised us all like we never would have believed. But it wasn’t as if you wanted to hurt anyone, you didn’t know what you were doing.”

  Doku whimpered then slowly turned her head to look up at the witch, with Alyssa brushing aside the girl’s bangs to see her teary eyes.

  “Daniel doesn’t hate you. None of us do. Honestly, we were more worried than anything with what had happened to you. The way you were acting and talking to us, you had us scared.”

  “I’m sorry, I really am.”

  “What was all that about anyway?” Clover asked as she finally stopped hopping around on one foot. “You’ve never spoken to anyone like that before, yet in there you were acting like a fucking whore. What came over you?”

  Doku hid her face in the covers with a low mumble. Alyssa and Clover exchanged brief glances as silence filled the bedroom for a while before Clover slowly smiled at the harpy.

  “Doku,” she knowingly said. “Do you like being a dirty girl?”

  “What?” Alyssa asked as Doku shook her head in the covers.

  “You were horny as hell in there,” Clover realized as she sat down on the bed next to them. “That wasn’t just a dream you were having about Dan, that was how you like to fantasize about Dan, isn’t it?”

  “No, not at all!” Doku pleaded with her face pressed further into the bed.

  “You know what I think?” Clover mused with a finger held to her chin. “I think our kindhearted and shy harpy here has some pent up urges inside. I think you like acting like a whore, don’t you?”

  “I certainly do not!” Doku argued shaking her head.

  “Really? All that talk about sucking Dan’s fucking cock in there, pounding your pussy and knocking you up, and the way you were gobbling his dick down like it was the last one in all of Eden. All of that was just on a whim? Were you actually hating how your own dream was going?”

  “No, that’s not it! Just… leave me alone! Please!”

  “The Doku I know would have been so bashful and gentle with Dan, maybe even scared of doing anything for the first time. But you weren’t like that at all. You were a sex-crazed fiend in there.”

  “Please stop talking about this, I feel horrible enough about-”

  “You loved it,” Clover accused. “You loved how you were behaving with him, I’ve never seen you so excited or passionate about anything before. Just admit it already, you like being treated like a slut.”

  “I do not!” Doku cried out at her with a deep blush.

  “I’m not criticizing you,” Clover gently assured, with Doku leaning back in surprise as the elf slowly shook her head. “Every girl’s got a way to get her inner nature burning. Alyssa loves anal, Squeak loves having her abdomen scratched, Kroanette likes being whipped.”

  Doku blushed brightly as Clover leaned closer with a smirk on her face.

  “And you love acting like a lustful monster. You were totally cutting loose in there, running on pure lust for the man you love. That’s what gets you wet, you want to be that dirty girl monsters are known to be, and that’s alright.”

  “Clover?”

  “Its fine,” Clover reasoned with a shrug. “Well, not the part about you going nuts in there like you did, but the fact you like being a dirty girl. I think it’s cute.”

  “Cute?” Doku squeaked.

  “I was so surprised to see that side of you. We all were. The way you were a demon with Dan was kind of entertaining. I never would have guessed that was your fetish.”

  “Doku?” Alyssa wondered. “Is that true? You like acting like a whore because it gets you excited?”

  Doku stammered some form of nonsensical babble while shaking her head, with Alyssa and Clover glancing to each other then to Doku with curious smiles.

  “I think I hit the nail on the head,” Clover stated triumphantly. “You love being a lewd girl, it gets you hot, doesn’t it?”

  “Doku, you dirty girl,” Alyssa purred in awe. “Was the Doku we saw in there the real you?”

  “No, that’s not true!” Doku pleaded. Clover and Alyssa showed dull stares with raised eyebrows at the girl, obviously not believing her at all. The har
py trembled then lowered her head while hiding behind her wings again.

  “Dan’s going to love hearing about this,” Clover snickered.

  “You can’t tell him I like such a thing!” Doku screamed, then gasped in horror as the elf and witch smiled brightly at her.

  “Oh my god, you do like that,” Alyssa giggled.

  “I knew it,” Clover boasted. “You’re a dirty whore on the inside, Doku. You really are a monster of Eden after all.”

  Doku whined and clung to Clover as she broke down sobbing.

  “It’s not true! I’m not like that! I’m not some… some… filthy girl who enjoys behaving in such a despicable way! I’m not! Please don’t think of me like that!”

  Alyssa shook her head then gently held the harpy’s wing, with Doku sniveling and turning her unseen gaze towards the witch to see her smiling gently at her.

  “You’re part of our family, Doku,” Alyssa genuinely told her. “Daniel loves you, so much that he was about to kill Apoch and Astreal to keep you here with us. And to be honest we wouldn’t have let them take you either, we would have come after you, even if it meant challenging Charlotte to get you back.”

  “You would have?” Doku quietly asked.

  “You know what the problem with you is, Doku? You’re too nice. You’ve been an angel with us from the moment you crashed into Kitten and threw up on her. You’re always taking such good care of us, pampering us, spoiling us; it’s really we who are undeserving of you. Daniel knows this, that’s why he likes you so much, you’re exactly the kind of girl he wanted to find out here. The kind we all did. And we’re glad we did.”

  “Alyssa…”

  “We love you, Doku. If anyone ever tried to take you away you can be sure Daniel wouldn’t let them, he’s not going to let you fall in life. And neither are we. You can be damned sure I’ll burn anyone who tries to take you from us.”

  “Not before I shoot the fucker dead with my arrows,” Clover added, with Doku looking up to her in wonder. “You’re staying here with us, where you belong.”

  “Where I belong?”

  “You’re part of our family now,” Alyssa repeated. “Actually, you’ve been a part of our family ever since we found you.”
