  “That and I laced the cookies you fed her with a sleeping potion,” Alyssa mentioned with a smirk. “She’ll be out until tomorrow morning at least.”

  “Why didn’t you do that to Cindy’s cookies?” Falla demanded standing up with a flustered pout. “She’s keeping Squeak from helping us here!”

  “I wasn’t worried about Cindy biting us in our sleep,” Alyssa reasoned before she started fondling Luna more roughly. “Besides she’s on my side in this. I’m alright with her being awake now.”

  “Ah! Alyssa!” Luna whined shaking her head with a smile. “Falla, help me! She’s- OH! She’s squeezing them so hard!”

  “Sister!” Falla yelled as she charged forward with her cushion again. Clover grabbed two more and hurled them towards Alyssa, the pillows soaring towards her smirking face before Star quickly appeared before the witch and grabbed them. The girls watched in surprise as the jinx then whacked both against Falla’s head, knocking her aside with a yell, before she warped over and swung them around at Clover. The elf dodged and weaved around the attacks before swiping up a pillow in her hands and blocking the cat’s swings towards her face.

  “Star!” Clover yelled as she struggled to hold back the jinx’s cushions.

  “No, Star!” Doku whined hopping up and down near Snapper. “I wanted you to help us save Luna, not fight against us!”

  “What the fuck are you doing?” Clover grunted as Star began overpowering her. The jinx meowed with a daring smile then teleported away just as Specca swung her pillow at the cat, the nixie’s attack then bashing Clover and taking her to the ground. Star warped behind Specca and whacked her in the head with her pillow before teleporting over to Squeak and tripping the ant girl with a swing of her foot. Squeak fell back onto the floor with Cindy still laughing and smacking her pillow repeatedly down at her while Star teleported over near Luna and Alyssa on the bed with both cushions being twirled in her hands and a smirk on her face.

  “She’s siding with Alyssa!” Specca complained. “That’s not fair!”

  “Why isn’t that fair?” Alyssa laughed as she and Star exchanged playful glances with each other. “It was five against two until now.”

  “I don’t think we can count Doku,” Falla argued waving towards the harpy that was hiding behind her wings near the wall. “Not to mention you can use magic and Cindy doesn’t go down at all! This isn’t fair!”

  “Too bad, so sad,” Alyssa sweetly remarked as she ripped down Luna’s bra. The butterfly gasped then squealed with a shaky smile as the witch began pinching her nipples and caressing her breasts. Star meowed with a taunting smile as she crawled over behind Alyssa to stand before her and the other girls, all of them watching her with frustration while Squeak was lying on the floor trying to block Cindy’s relentless assault on her with her pillow. Squeak blocked and squeaked from each powerful hit by the wraith then quickly scrambled away on her hands and knees, taking a few more hits to her rear and abdomen by Cindy before she regrouped with her team on the other side of the room.

  “Hahaha!” Cindy laughed swinging her pillow around with a wide smile. “This is fun! Let’s do that again, I wanna bop you more!”

  Star meowed with a smirk at the girls as she got into a fighting stance while Alyssa was laughing as she played with Luna’s bosom. The butterfly squealed and giggled while squirming in her binds, calling out her sister’s name and wiggling her hips as she was at the witch’s mercy.

  “Sister,” Falla growled in frustration. “We have to save her.”

  “How are we supposed to get by any of them?” Specca feared. “Alyssa has her magic, Star is invincible, and Cindy doesn’t stop no matter how hard you hit her.”

  “You fuckers are going down,” Clover snarled as she held two cushions in her hands. “We’re coming, Luna!”

  Squeak squeaked sternly as she gripped her pillow, eyes set solely on Cindy who was smiling playfully at her still.

  Doku trembled while crouching down near the wall, eyes nervously peeking through her bangs and over her wings at seeing the girls facing off with their pillow fight while preparing to engage in combat once again. The harpy gulped nervously, not feeling so confident in her own ability to wage cushion warfare like the other girls were, then noticed someone walking by her into the bedroom.

  All the girls stopped and watched as Kitten slowly made her way into the room with her head lowered slightly and bangs covering her eyes. She stopped in the middle of the room and casually glanced around at all the girls with a blank expression on her face. Looking down she saw several pillows and many feathers littering the floor, the cambion then slowly kneeling down and picking up one of the cushions that didn’t seem like it was close to bursting yet. She eyed it over with a glimmer of curiosity, remaining silent with tail motionless behind her. Standing back up she kept staring at the pillow in her hand, tilting it around and seeming to be thinking about something that none of the other girls could guess. After a while of silence Cindy blinked then ran towards the demon with her cushion held high while laughing excitedly.

  “Gonna bop you one!” she cheered closing in on the girl.

  Without pause Kitten quickly swung around and struck her pillow downward against the wraith, the forceful hit and thunderclap it made sounding off while Cindy literally exploded away in a burst of sand. All the girls watched in surprise as the wraith splattered across the floor and onto the bed while her pillow was pulverized into cloth and feathers that blew away. Kitten kept her poise while having her wings arched back and tail lifted behind her, having feathers and sand gently fluttering around her as she stood in the middle of the room. Everyone watched in stunned silence as the cloud of Cindy’s sand slowly settled before all eyes turned to Kitten. The cambion slowly relaxed her stance while her glowing eyes observed the sand wraith’s remains, watching as the sand began sliding over into a lump on the bed. Cindy’s body slowly regenerated along with forming clothes that were a part of her, a smile being seen on her face as it came together again while she lay on her back with her arms and legs spread out on the bed. After she reformed again without a scratch on her or a rip on her clothes she sat up and laughed happily at Kitten.

  “You’re strong too! I like you! Haha!”

  “Kitten?” Specca finally asked. “What are you doing?”

  “You were right,” Kitten spoke while eyeing the pillow in her hands. “The sides aren’t evenly set. They have more power and fighting potential than yours does. This isn’t a fair fight. And my master would want us to play fair.”

  Star and Alyssa showed nervous expressions while Cindy stood up with another pillow, the sand wraith laughing and getting ready to attack again while Kitten stood between them and the other girls. The cambion glanced back to the girls behind her, all of them looking at her in wonder for a moment before turning to the opposing side with challenging smiles as they saw where this was going.

  “Now then,” Kitten said turning her glowing eyes and wicked smile towards the three girls who were keeping Luna away from them. Star and Alyssa tensed up while Cindy remained blissfully unaware of how much trouble they were facing with the opposing team’s newest member.

  “Let’s play, girls.”

  Chapter 17

  A Centaur’s Love

  In the world of Eden centaurs considered themselves to be a proud and noble race, despite being lustful monsters that raped men like their other inhuman sisters. Being renowned for their speed was one thing, but they also displayed etiquette and elegance as they were some of the more peaceful monsters in the world. However they were still treated like horrible abominations by mankind, not just because of their cruel use of men as breeding stock but also because centaurs were indeed quite beastly looking compared to other monsters. With the lower body of a horse they were often envious of their inhuman kin as they couldn’t rely on their alluring looks to draw in a potential mate.

  After all, nobody ever heard of a human loving a centaur for how she was.

  *****


  Within the cottage at Trixton Pass a room with two large bathing tubs was used by the Harollson family for washing up after a long day of work. A stein glass window allowed some moonlight in while a softly lit lantern provided the most light to see with, illuminating the baths that were set closely together in this smaller sized chamber in the household. Sitting in one of the tubs with his back facing the adjacent one Max was keeping his eyes heavily focused on the water before him, his face frozen in a firm expression while he struggled with all his might not to allow his gaze to wander. His hand trembled under the surface of the bathwater, his cheeks being rosy with a deep blush from the accelerated blood flow in his body, and against all his wishes another part of him was reacting very honestly to the situation despite his efforts.

  “Max?” Lelu quietly asked from behind.

  “Yes?” Max exclaimed loudly while shutting his eyes. “What is it?”

  “You’re not still upset with me, are you?”

  “Why would you think that? I’m not upset with you.”

  A low worried murmur was heard from the centaur followed by water being lightly splashed in the other bath. Max gulped, then seeing as how he felt he had to see if she was still pouting or not, slowly turned his head to carefully glance back at the naked monster who was also bathing with him. With a cautious peek he looked back to see Lelu’s head sticking up above the water in her tub while she was lowered down to her nose being just above the surface. Her hair was draped down and floating in the water while her sorrowful eyes were watching Max. And floating around the centaur were carrots, celery, onions, and peppers that she had brought in with her. The centaur murmured again before lifting her head up just enough so she could speak clearly.

  “I said I was sorry, I didn’t… didn’t think straight again.”

  “I know, I could tell,” Max said shaking his head. “You thought I was going to cook you in that tub and eat you.”

  Lelu lowered her head in shame and sputtered something in response through the water. She glanced around at the food she had hastily dumped into the bath before jumping in herself then looked to Max with remorseful eyes.

  “Do you always bathe like that?” Max wondered with a slight amount of concern.

  “…maybe.”

  “Lelu,” Max sighed looking back down.

  “I can’t help myself,” Lelu whimpered. “When you offered me a bath in this tub the first thing I thought of was you… I’m sorry.”

  “There has to be some way of correcting that eccentric way of thinking you have,” Max pondered.

  “I’m never going to be cured,” Lelu worried. “Nobody back home could get my mind to think straight after I became like this. As hard as I try I keep thinking about… being eaten. I shouldn’t, I know I shouldn’t, but I can’t help it. It excites me… so much.”

  “Have you ever been bitten before?” Max asked glancing back to her. “Maybe if you feel actual pain from being bitten you won’t want anyone to eat you.”

  “You think so?” Lelu curiously wondered.

  “I don’t know, but it might work.”

  “Then please take a big bite out of me!” Lelu exclaimed standing up, the water rushing down her body and figure as she stood in the tub on all four legs. Max’s eyes bulged out of his head as he saw the centaur holding her arms out and presenting her naked body to him, with water running down her curves and breasts while also falling off her hair and tail.

  “Please,” Lelu begged with an awkward smile coming across her face. “Try to eat me, Max.”

  “Lelu!” Max cried out before diving down into his bath and shutting his eyes. He struggled to push the image of the naked girl out of his mind while only hearing the muffled sounds of water settling in his tub. After he couldn’t hold his breath any further he surfaced with a gasp of air, keeping his eyes closed and back turned to the centaur while he held his hands up defensively.

  “I’m not going to do anything of the sort! Now sit back down, please!”

  “But what if it can cure me?” Lelu whined. “Please bite me, Max!”

  “No! I will not! Now sit back down! You’re naked!”

  “Then I’ll do it myself!” Lelu stubbornly replied. A moment later Max heard the girl scream in pain. “AHH! That really hurts!”

  “You see? Getting eaten would only hurt you, it wouldn’t feel good at all. Now stop acting so-”

  “AHH!”

  “Lelu?”

  “AHH!”

  “Are you still trying to eat yourself?” Max exclaimed. He turned around and saw the centaur standing in her bath biting her arm, the girl squealing and shaking her head each time she did so. “Lelu, stop! Are you crazy?”

  “Yes I am!” Lelu sobbed as she dropped down into her bath again. The water splashed out of the tub from the monster landing down in it, with bits of food also being thrown out and landing on the floor as the girl broke down crying with her hands over her face.

  “Oh god, I’m always going to be crazy! What am I going to do, Max? There’s no hope for me!”

  “Yes there is,” Max insisted. “You’ll get over this, just don’t give up, Lelu.”

  “Just cook and eat me, Max, get it over with! That’s all I’m good for now!”

  “Lelu, stop it!” Max ordered. He hopped out of his bath and rushed over to the centaur’s, taking her hands and pulling them down so she could see his stern expression at her. “You can’t give up, not after your mother gave all she could to make sure you would live. Now I don’t know much about mental conditions or how to treat them, I’m not a doctor or anything, but I know you can overcome this if you only try. Stop thinking this is the end for you, you can still beat this and lead a normal life. I have faith you can so you should too.”

  “Max…” Lelu breathed out.

  “You know what my sisters would do if I started moping and giving up? They would beat the crap out of me, they would knock some sense into me by any means necessary. And rightfully so, only a fool gives up when faced with a problem. You’re not a lost cause, Lelu. You can control these messed up thoughts, you can cure yourself. I know you can.”

  “You really think so, Max?”

  “Yes I do,” Max assured her, the girl gazing into his eyes deeply while her tail wagged below the water. “You just need to believe in yourself and push forward. You can beat this, I know you can.”

  “Max,” Lelu whimpered. She quickly lunged forward and hugged Max close while breaking down into tears. “Thank you so much! You’re too good to be true! I can’t thank you enough for being so kind to me! Oh, Max, you’re the best!”

  Max thrashed around while his face was buried deep in the centaur’s bosom, his hands flailing about in the air while his muffled shouts were all but lost in the girl’s breasts. Lelu shook him about in her excitement then stopped and looked down curiously to see him holding onto her arms while trying to pull his head away from her chest that was swallowing his head whole.

  “Max?”

  She blinked then quickly let him go, the boy stumbling back gasping for air as his world started to fade into color again. After he regained his senses and his balance by holding onto his bathtub he looked at Lelu with bewilderment and started to speak, only to then stop as he saw the girl staring at him with wide eyes and a deep blush. Her hands were still parted from when she let go of him, with her chest and figure being displayed with water dripping down her body, and she was standing completely motionless as she seemed frozen in surprise. It was then he noticed what she was looking at, with his eyes then slowly glancing down to see how his body had been reacting to her affections.

  Silence filled the room for a while as the two remained still, with Max then slowly looking back to Lelu and with her returning his gaze. When it finally sunk in that they had been ogling each other Max screamed and dashed towards the door, grabbing his towel and hastily putting it around himself before he left the room and slammed the door behind him. He stood leaning back against it while catching his breat
h, his body shaking and his eye twitching as the image of Lelu standing up in the bath with her arms parted and her body seen clear as day remained burned into his mind.

  ‘Calm down, Max. She’s a monster, she’s a monster, she’s… only twelve? Are you kidding me? How am I older than her? She’s… so…’

  Shaking his head to clear his thoughts he quickly caught his breath and tried to steady his voice.

  “I’m g-going to get dressed,” he called out behind him. “Take your time in there. And don’t bite yourself anymore! Okay? Okay.”

  He dashed off into the home, stumbling a bit and banging against the wall in his hurry, all while trying to push the image of the centaur out of his head to which he was having the utmost difficulty in doing. As he raced off Lelu watched the door with a curious expression while standing in her tub still, the girl’s eyes glancing down to her breasts then to the door again while she tilted her head in question.

  “I wonder if he was tasting me then. Did he like it?”

  She blinked then clonked herself on the head with a whine.

  “Stop thinking like that, Lelu! Stop it, stop it, stop it!”

  With a flustered groan she dropped back down into the bath, splashing more water and food onto the floor while she sighed and leaned back in the tub. She carelessly grabbed a nearby floating carrot and started eating it while distantly gazing up at the ceiling. Slowly a smile formed on her face again along with a faint blush as she thought about the human boy who had taken her in and showed such kindness towards her.

  “I wonder if any centaur has ever felt like this for a human before.”

  “DANIEL!” Kroanette screamed with a flushed face. She grunted heavily while clinging to the tree before her, nails clawing at the bark while she was pushed against it repeatedly. Her large breasts threatened to rip out of her shirt as they were pressed onto the tree again and again, her cries of pleasure ringing out far and wide throughout the woods as she felt Daniel riding her from behind. Looking back with a long moan she saw Daniel naked and pushing into her with a daring smile on his face, the human showing no aversion at all to making love to the monster despite her having a horse’s body, and instead was doing so with more vigor and force than she had felt from him before.
