Chronicles of Eden - Act 2

  “Well, I for one do trust her, and I’m also allowed to think of something to do for our nights together as well, aren’t I? Then, if that’s the case, I’m choosing to take her to an inn for our night together so we can have privacy in the comfort of a nice, cozy room,” he stated finally. The other girls looked at him with worried eyes then to Alyssa as the witch smiled eagerly at Daniel.

  “Really? You mean it, Daniel?” she asked quickly. Daniel nodded with a gentle smile at her.

  “Yes, after we get the village rallied to look for Luna and Emily we’ll check into the closest-” he started before Alyssa bolted to the front of the caravan in a flash and grabbed hold of the reins, snapping them hard to get Lucky going right away. The horse neighed and then took off along the trail as Falla tumbled back down onto the seat with a yelp while the others in the cabin braced from the sudden takeoff.

  “Let’s go, Lucky!” Alyssa cheered as the horse ran along the trail quickly, with Falla struggling to sit up and hold onto the seat while looking to her with bewilderment.

  “What’s going on, where are we going in such a hurry?” she barked out.

  “We’re trying to save your stupid sister and that human child, that’s what,” Alyssa snapped back while keeping her eyes focused ahead of her, completely intent on getting to Eston in record time to start her night with Daniel.

  Inside the cabin Daniel and the girls were looking at Alyssa with wonder then to the boy who smiled weakly with a small shrug.

  “-inn,” he finished just for the sake of completing his sentence.

  “Daniel, are you sure about this?” Triska asked worriedly. Daniel glanced to her with a raised eyebrow.

  “Triska, you trust Alyssa with your life as well by now, I know you do,” he pointed out.

  “Yeah, with my life, not with your virginity,” Triska muttered while glancing to Alyssa with a frown. Specca sighed then looked to seeing Jovian peeking back to them while Jacqueline was still lying right next to her.

  “Sorry about that, did we wake you two?” Specca asked with a worried smile. Jovian smiled a bit and shrugged while Jacqueline held in her moan, the blonde trembling under the blanket while her sister fingered her pussy and asshole with two fingers each.

  “That’s alright, my sister is still asleep. If I may ask though where are we going in such a rush?” Jovian asked gently.

  “To the village of Eston, you two will be safe there while we find help with looking for Luna and Emily. We’ll drop you off when we arrive, I’m sure you’ll be able to resume your traveling adventures from there,” Daniel said kindly.

  “Oh, I see, thank you so much for bringing us all the way here. Um, would it be alright if we sleep in your company one last night, perhaps in the village inn? We would enjoy that very much, we’ve come to really like you all,” Jovian politely requested.

  “Sure, that would be alright, one last night to spend with our new friends,” Daniel said with a nod. The other girls smiled slightly at the sisters then looked to each other with concern at the thought of Daniel spending a night with Alyssa in the inn. Jacqueline stifled her grunt as she flinched then peeked at her sister with a frown.

  “Sister, when are we going to eat them?” she whispered impatiently. Jovian turned back and held the girl close while still fingering her, having a cold expression on her face while Daniel and the other girls watched Alyssa as she was hell-bent on getting to Eston as fast as possible now.

  “If tonight really is our last night with them, then our grand dinner shall be held in Eston,” Jovian whispered coldly.

  “J-J-Jovian…” Jacqueline breathed out before she buried her face in her sister’s bosom. Jovian smirked and dug her fingers in deeper inside of her sister.

  “That’s right, say my name,” she whispered coyly.

  The caravan rode along the trail through the outerlands at a brisk pace, with Alyssa at the reins and Falla frantically looking for any trace of her missing sister. As they made their way toward the village Daniel thought about the two important events of this night for him; the chance to show a village that monsters weren’t all evil, and a night alone with a witch that was in love with him.

  *****

  At the edge of a large clearing Lucky and the caravan were seen, with Alyssa and Falla looking ahead to seeing a village up ahead while those inside the caravan were seen collapsed against the left wall together after a rather fast and bumpy ride. Daniel was pinned against the side of the cabin with Triska lying over his lap while her hands were digging into the floor as if to try to hold on for dear life, Specca was laying against the wall upside down next to the boy, with one hand holding her skirt up to keep herself decent while the other hand was holding her head as she seemed slightly dazed, Squeak was curled into a ball and propped up against the wall next to Triska, and Jovian and Jacqueline were piled on top of each other behind the group, both sisters having dull expressions on their faces as they slowly reached out for their masks.

  “Is everyone… alright?” Daniel asked wearily.

  “I think… I think so,” Specca said weakly before she rolled forward and collapsed onto the floor with a thump. Triska slowly looked to Daniel then to the front of the ride as her vision gradually stopped spinning.

  “Well I’ll be, turns out this large caravan can make a hairpin turn at breakneck speed in the time it takes me to scream ‘We can’t make that turn at this speed’!” she yelled out.

  “You know, my sister was enjoying her slumber before we were thrown around back here,” Jovian mentioned as she and her sister sat up while wearing their masks. Jacqueline grumbled while holding a hand down between her legs.

  “I was enjoying something,” she muttered quietly.

  Squeak dropped down onto the floor and slowly uncurled from her ball, squeaking something softly as she looked around with a dazed expression. She and Specca slowly sat up and looked to the front of the caravan as Alyssa was hopping around in her seat with an excited smile.

  “There’s Eston, we’re here!” she cheered.

  “Why did you nearly run us off a cliff getting here so fast anyway?” Falla barked out at her.

  “Because the humans here in this village are going to help us find your missing sister, that’s why,” Alyssa replied as she eyed the village ahead of them, thinking about her upcoming night with Daniel more than the idea of finding Luna and Emily.

  “Are you crazy? You nearly killed us all with that reckless driving,” Specca snapped with a flustered tone. Alyssa looked back to her with a smirk and merely shrugged.

  “Would you relax, I got us here in one piece didn’t I?” she replied smugly.

  With a loud crack the caravan suddenly jerked to the side and dropped down, the front left wheel snapping and breaking apart while Lucky neighed and stumbled about as the reins tugged him back slightly. The ride thumped down onto the dirt as Alyssa and Falla tumbled off the seat and down onto the ground, with the group inside the cabin lurching to the side again in surprise. Specca tumbled over landed on top of Triska over Daniel’s lap, the boy coughing as the two girls pinned him against the wall, while Squeak slid over and hit the wall with a surprised squeak. Jovian and Jacqueline tumbled over and collapsed against the wall with grunts while the ride rocked slightly before coming to a rest.

  “What happened?” Triska mumbled from underneath Specca, the nixie trying to sit up before she froze in place with a stunned expression as she felt Daniel’s hand resting on her rear. She looked to seeing the boy trying to sit upright while he was staring with wide eyes at what he had grabbed without noticing, his hand cupping Specca’s ass while his fingers were touching right below her tail. Specca felt her heart skip a beat before pounding steadily as she locked up completely, with Triska struggling to push the girl off of her with a grunt.

  “Ok, Specca? Get off me already,” Triska complained. Daniel quickly raised his hands up with a nervous smile while Specca blushed brightly, the two staring at each other as Triska kept trying to get free fr
om being pinned down by the nixie.

  “Um, sorry, I didn’t mean to touch you there,” Daniel quickly apologized. Triska froze in place while Squeak looked back to him.

  “Didn’t mean to touch who where, Daniel?” Triska asked cautiously.

  “Nothing, don’t worry about it, Triska,” Specca quickly said before she scrambled off of them, a small smile coming across her face as she held her skirt down with both hands. Triska and Squeak looked at her puzzled then to Daniel as the boy was glancing up at the ceiling to avoid eye contact with everyone.

  “Ok, what happened now?” Jacqueline whined as she and her sister sat upright against the wall. Jovian held in her grumble as she quickly moved past everyone and looked out the entrance, seeing that the caravan was dipped down on the front left side.

  “I believe the caravan is broken,” she said looking back to the others. They looked to her with surprise then quickly started to scramble out of the ride, with Falla and Alyssa standing off to the side looking at the caravan and broken wheel. Alyssa whined and grabbed her hat while Falla rolled her eyes while crossing her arms with annoyance.

  “Way to go,” Falla said flatly.

  “Shut up, just shut up, Falla!” Alyssa barked back at her.

  The others quickly stumbled down off of the slanted front seat and saw the wheel which was broken and in pieces under the ride.

  “What the hell? Alyssa, what did you do?” Triska yelled out.

  “I believe that last hard turn was too much for it,” Specca reasoned with a sigh. Squeak face palmed and squeaked something while Jovian and Jacqueline just looked at the broken ride with dull expressions. Daniel sighed and looked over the damage before turning to Alyssa as the witch held her hands over her face.

  “This isn’t happening, it’s not broken, it’s ok, it’s all ok,” she shakily tried to reassure herself with. Upon saying that the rear left wheel snapped apart, with the group watching as the ride dropped onto its side with a loud crash, the sound of their belongings tumbling about inside being heard while everyone jumped with surprise at the sight. Lucky neighed as he was forced to step to the side a bit while the reins pulled him closer to the wagon. Alyssa stared at the damaged ride with utter dismay then groaned while grabbing her hat again.

  “Oh c’mon!” she cried out.

  “Dammit, Alyssa, if you would have just drove us here like a normal person and not some speeding lunatic this wouldn’t have happened!” Triska yelled out at her.

  “I didn’t know it would break that easily, it’s not my fault!” Alyssa shot back.

  “That easily? You were racing the damn thing across the land like a bat out of hell!” Triska shouted back.

  “I was just trying to get here so we could help find Luna and Emily!” Alyssa cried out.

  “Yeah right, you were just eager to sleep with Daniel alone in an inn, you little liar!” Triska yelled out.

  “Hey!” Daniel called out. The girls all looked to him as he was just watching the caravan while trying to keep calm about the situation. He shook his head then glanced around at all the girls.

  “First off, is everyone alright?” he asked.

  “I scratched my elbow after I fell from the front seat,” Falla mentioned while looking to her elbow with annoyance.

  “Is everyone alright?” Daniel asked again tiredly.

  “Yes, I believe we are,” Specca said looking around at everyone. Daniel nodded slowly then looked to the village in the distance.

  “Ok, well, no sense getting worked up over this. This is just a little setback, nothing we can’t recover from. For now we need to get to that village and alert them about Luna and Emily, just like we were planning to do. I’m sure somebody there would be able to help us repair our ride, hopefully for a reasonable price,” he speculated with a hint of concern at the end.

  “You can use the money we would have used for the inn to fix it, I think that’s only fair,” Triska suggested while giving Alyssa a dull glare.

  “No way, Triska, I’m getting my night with Daniel tonight even if it kills me!” Alyssa snapped back. Jovian and Jacqueline smirked to that and glanced to each other while Daniel shook his head while keeping his eyes on the village. Triska waved to the caravan with frustration and stomped her foot.

  “It nearly just did, along with all of us!” she yelled out.

  “Ok, again, that’s enough,” Daniel called out, with Triska and Alyssa looking to him worriedly as the boy tried to keep calm about everything.

  “First we get into the village and get help for Luna and Emily, then get our ride fixed, then we’ll figure out our sleeping arrangements, alright?” he reasoned. The girls all nodded to that, with Alyssa biting her lip in fear that she may have cost herself the night alone with Daniel at the inn. Triska blinked then looked around at the monster girls in the group.

  “Um, Daniel? They can’t just walk into the village like this, Eston isn’t a monster-neutral zone,” she pointed out. Daniel smiled a bit and looked to Specca and Squeak.

  “We have some extra clothing they can dress in, that could work, right? Specca already has experience hiding her monster features, and Alyssa can pass for a human child easily enough without her hat and staff. As for Squeak…” he said as he turned to the ant girl curiously, his eyes going over her insect appendages and trying to think of how to cover them properly. The group looked to her as she squeaked and tilted her head.

  “I don’t believe we have a dress to hide her abdomen, how are we going to have her sneak into the village?” Specca asked worriedly.

  “May we make a suggestion?” Jovian asked. The group looked to her as the sisters walked over and stood on either side of Squeak.

  “How about she stays here with us? Truth be told we’re still a little shaken up after that hectic ride, we’ll rest here with her,” Jovian offered.

  “After you’ve gotten the village’s approval for your friends we can walk in with her as she is, no worries then,” Jacqueline reasoned.

  “Well, that could work I suppose. Are you two sure though?” Daniel asked.

  “Oh yes, we insist. Don’t worry, we can talk to her perfectly fine in the meantime, there won’t be any confusion should she wish to speak about something while we wait to hear from you,” Jovian said with a kind smile.

  “I guess that works. Is that ok with you, Squeak?” Triska asked. Squeak nodded with a smile and squeaked a few times, with Jacqueline giggling and smiling at Triska afterwards.

  “She says she’s fine with watching over Daniel’s caravan while you’re gone,” she relayed.

  “She’s very protective of what’s yours, Daniel, that’s very commendable,” Jovian commented. Daniel chuckled a bit and nodded as Squeak smiled timidly at him.

  “If it’s all the same, I’ll wait here with them as well, I’m not up for going into a human village at all,” Falla mentioned.

  “Good, we’re not up for taking you into one,” Alyssa muttered. Jovian and Jacqueline eyed the butterfly girl over with a cold glance then nodded while having calm smiles on their faces.

  “Sure, we’ll all wait here, together,” they said in unison. Falla blinked then glanced to them with a raised eyebrow from hearing that while the others looked towards the village.

  “Alright, well, let’s get going then,” Daniel announced. Triska glanced to him then looked to the other girls.

  “Specca, stay here as well,” she ordered.

  “What? But why?” Specca asked.

  “If they find out Alyssa’s a witch she can still use her magic, if they find out you’re a nixie you’re not going to be able to fight. She can blend in more easily than you can and defend herself if need be, you can’t, it would be best for you to stay here for now,” Triska reasoned.

  “But I can conceal my scales and tail just fine, I did so in Ashwood for a long time. And at the very least I could charm the men into not harming us, I’m not so defenseless like you claim,” Specca defended.

  “Please, if a problem o
ccurs Alyssa and I are going to be busy keeping Daniel safe, it would be easier if we didn’t have to watch out for you as well,” Triska pleaded with a gentle smile. Specca opened her mouth to speak before Triska shook her head and walked over to her, setting her hands on the nixie’s shoulders as Specca slowly closed her mouth.

  “You’re our guide out in the outerlands for dealing with monsters, this is human territory, leave that to us, alright? Please, I don’t want you at risk in there,” Triska said softly. Specca looked at her curiously then down with a troubled gaze.

  “Well, what do you think, Daniel?” she asked glancing to the boy. Daniel looked to Triska then to Alyssa before turning to Specca with a small smile.

  “I think you should listen to your friend, one little slip with your disguise and we’ll be in trouble. Alyssa won’t be found out so easily, but you could be, it might be best for you to remain here for now,” he reasoned. Specca nodded slowly and looked back down, her tail slowly swaying behind her low to the ground.

  “Alright, Daniel, I’ll stay here too, if that’s what you think is best,” she said softly.

  “Just until we explain our situation and Daniel can win over the village, and then we’re coming back for all of you,” Triska reassured. Specca nodded and walked over to the caravan along with Squeak and Falla. Jovian and Jacqueline watched the three head over to the broken ride then looked to Daniel with curious smiles.

  “Please hurry, we wish to enjoy one last dinner with all of you on this night,” Jovian kindly requested.

  “Yeah, hurry back, we’re starting to get really hungry,” Jacqueline giggled. Daniel and Triska nodded as Alyssa took off her hat, the witch walking over to Specca and handing it to her while Triska walked past them and boarded the downed caravan to get her sword.

  “Here, hold onto this for me, ok?” Alyssa asked.

  “Sure, no problem, Alyssa,” Specca said while taking the hat. Triska hopped back out with her sword strapped behind her while Daniel unfastened Lucky from the caravan, with himself and the two girls then climbing onto the horse’s back. Triska held onto Daniel’s waist while Alyssa held onto hers, the two girls giving one last wave to the remaining group before they took off towards the village. Specca sighed and leaned back against the caravan while Squeak climbed aboard, the ant girl grabbing her pickaxe from the corner and slinging it behind her before exiting the wagon.
