Chronicles of Eden - Act IV

by Alexander Gordon

  ‘I never knew raping others was so terrible, I hate this so much!’

  With one last loud scream she then gave up trying to fight, feeling her strength leaving her as she let her body be toyed and played with by the tree. Her body was feeling hotter with each passing moment, her hips were starting to ache less while the tentacle thrusting into her pussy was becoming even more pleasurable, her breasts felt good being toyed around with and caressed, her tongue began lapping and licking along the tentacle in her mouth out of reflex, her thoughts started to blur as she gave up hope of getting away altogether.

  ‘Even though… my heart says no… my body says yes… what’s wrong with me? I know I don’t want this, and yet… I can’t fight it anymore…’

  Suddenly the tree groaned loudly as the tentacles started flailing around, with the ones holding Luna letting go and pulling out of her body as they whipped about in the air wildly. Luna collapsed on the tree and just stared up at the ceiling with a weary gaze as the monster behind her groaned and started shifting around. Slowly all the limbs began to drop and remain motionless while the tree’s eyes twitched and looked around frantically as if in distress. After a while the tree let out a weak howl before all the eyes withered and broke apart, the monster seeming to melt into the floor and harden into it while Luna remained in a stunned state on top of it after her ordeal. Slowly her eyes began to focus again while her hand twitched, the girl slowly lowering her arms as she felt she was now free and able to move. Her senses gradually came back, her body now feeling exhausted and numb while she slowly sat up with a weak groan. Looking around she saw the tree having been melted back into the ground, silence filling the house as Luna wearily sat there on the floor alone. After a few minutes to process what just happened she sniffled then started crying while holding her arms around herself, feeling a horrible aching sensation in her heart.

  “I don’t like this… I don’t like this… I don’t like this!” she cried out before burying her face in her hands. She sobbed and curled up into a ball on the ground, her wings fluttering once behind her while her tears dropped down onto the hardened and uneven floor.

  “Why didn’t anyone ever tell me raping others was so horrible?” she whined.

  From outside she heard some screams in the distance, her eyes slowly looking to the window that had a faint red tint on it near the side of the glass.

  “Emily… how could you?” she whimpered. Taking a deep breath she slowly started to stand up, the girl putting her petal bra back on while holding a hand down to her rear as it ached when she moved.

  “Ow… I don’t like it in the ass… I don’t like it there at all,” she whined with a cringe. With slow and uneven steps she made her way over to the window, grabbing onto the glass for support as she felt her legs wobble below her. She looked down the street and saw some lamps lit further away, with darkened figures seeming to run about near them.

  “Emily… please don’t hurt anyone else…” she breathed out before dropping down to her knees below the window, her body feeling weak as she leaned against the wall while crying softly.

  Outside in the street Daniel and his friends were looking back and forth between two dreadful ways of meeting their demise. On one side of the road they had Jovian and Jacqueline, the murderous twins smiling coldly at the group while they had Emily’s blood dripping off their bodies from when they ate the alpha witch alive. On the other side they had a deathmare readying to charge again with its spectral scythe, the large Darker One now free from Emily’s control and able to kill whoever it wished.

  “What do we do now?” Specca asked fearfully while holding onto Daniel’s back.

  “I don’t know,” Triska said looking back and forth between the two evil forces. “Jovian and Jacqueline don’t stay down with anything we throw at them, and that thing will kill us in a single swoop if it gets too close.”

  Squeak, Falla, and Alyssa watched as the deathmare scraped its hind legs on the ground then looked to see Jovian and Jacqueline giggling in unison at them.

  “Sister,” Jovian mused. “Let’s make as many of them scream as we can before they die.”

  “About damn time,” Jacqueline agreed with a dark smile.

  The twins then raced toward the group while the deathmare charged towards them with a ghostly howl.

  “Now what?” Falla cried out.

  “Run!” Alyssa yelled as she ran towards the side of the street, with Squeak grabbing Falla’s hand and running after. The witch waved her hand forward and caused a door into a building to blast open, nearly breaking off its hinges as the girls raced towards it. At that time Triska ran in the other direction with Daniel and Specca following, the nixie holding onto Daniel’s hand as he led her behind Triska who ran forward and barged through a door into a two-story house, the trio racing inside as the deathmare galloped past and swung its scythe at them. The spectral blade phased through the wall and right behind Specca as she screamed in terror. Jovian and Jacqueline laughed and ran after Alyssa’s group while the deathmare circled around then ran toward the building that Daniel’s group escaped into.

  “Where are we going?” Specca cried out as the three ran across the darkened living room, the only light source coming from the lampposts outside through a front window, then up the stairs ahead of them, with Triska looking back to seeing the deathmare charging right into the building through the wall as if a ghost itself.

  “Shit, I thought only its weapon could pass through objects!” she shouted as she held Daniel’s hand and led him over to the side down a hallway, the boy and nixie stumbling behind her as small beams of moonlight came in through the windows next to them. As their footsteps echoed out in the deserted home the nightmare galloped through the living room and up the stairs with a ghostly howl.

  “It can follow us anywhere if it wants to!” Specca wailed. “It’s both spectral and physical at the same time!”

  They looked back to seeing the nightmare reaching the top of the stairs, the large Darker One filling the hallway while its even larger scythe phased through the walls and was obscured from view. Daniel and the two girls ran into a bedroom and quickly shut the door before they darted away and onto the ground as the spectral scythe razed through the other side along the entire wall, the blade just passing by them as Specca screamed and backed up behind Daniel again. The room had a faint red hue to it from the streetlamps outside that came in through the window, with the three backing up from the doorway while watching it with fright.

  “Okay,” Daniel said nervously. “I think we know how that thing got into all the homes and killed everyone then.”

  From the wall the deathmare slowly crept into the room, walking towards the group with its head lowered down so not to pass through the ceiling while it held its scythe down at its side. Triska growled then ran at it with her sword held back, swinging at the beast before it blocked her attack using the handle of its weapon with one hand.

  “But, that’s not fair!” Triska cried out as she saw the scythe was phasing down into the floor while still being spectral and the handle had become physical in the spot where Triska’s blade had been stopped.

  “Get away from it, Triska!” Daniel called out.

  “It can turn physical when it wants to, you can’t attack it with a normal weapon!” Specca yelled before she and Daniel watched the deathmare knocking Triska back into a stumble with the handle before gearing back with its scythe. The monster swung towards her, with Triska screaming before Daniel lunged over and tackled them to the ground, the blade just passing over them as Triska was held down on the floor by Daniel. The boy shouted out with anger as he jumped up and ran towards the deathmare, leaping up at it with all his strength to punch the monster in the face.

  “Daniel!” Specca shrieked out as the boy’s fist struck up towards the deathmare’s face, only to phase right through it with the boy dropping down into a stumble while walking right through the monster. The deathmare darted to the side, phasing right through a large
bed, then yanked its blade towards Daniel. The boy watched with fright before Triska grabbed his leg and yanked him down, dropping him onto the floor just as the blade swiped by where he was in a crosscut.

  “What are you thinking?” Triska yelled out at him.

  They then looked to seeing the deathmare spinning its blade around before striking down towards Daniel again. The boy rolled to the side as the attack swiped right through the floor, with Triska catching him as he rolled over on top of her. He smiled weakly and shrugged before stumbling to his feet while pulling her up.

  “Sorry,” he quickly said. “I didn’t know what else to do, you were in danger.”

  Triska looked at him with surprise then to the deathmare as it geared back and swung its scythe at them again. Triska pushed Daniel back with one hand then tried to block the scythe with her blade before Specca whipped her tail over and grabbed the girl from around the wrist, yanking Triska back as the scythe struck down at an angle and just missed them again.

  “Are you insane?” Specca cried out with disbelief. “The scythe will go right through your sword! And what were you thinking, Daniel? You tried to punch out a Darker One for Triska?”

  Triska stared at Daniel with wonder as her heart started beating faster, although it was hard to tell if it was from the adrenaline or the fact that Daniel risked his life to try and save her from a Darker One using only his bare hands.

  “I’m sorry, I didn’t know what else to- look out!” Daniel yelled before he quickly pushed the two girls aside along with himself, the deathmare’s scythe whizzing past behind them as the Darker One spun the blade around again and again, the trio darting to the side then back together towards the window as Daniel tried to keep the girls behind him.

  “We can’t fight it,” Specca said shaking her head. “It’ll just let any weapon we use pass right through it.”

  “Well running isn’t working either,” Triska mentioned. “It can follow us anywhere.”

  “How can we stop it then?” Daniel asked.

  “I have no idea,” Specca nervously replied. “I never heard about anyone fighting a deathmare and surviving.”

  The deathmare howled then charged towards the group with its scythe geared back, with Daniel turning and grabbing the girls before lunging through the window, the glass shattering as the girls screamed while holding onto him. The deathmare swung its blade at them, just missing Daniel’s foot as the boy and two girls fell down onto the slanted roof before tumbling off and down onto the road with a thump. They rolled to a stop as glass rained down on the ground behind them, with Triska and Specca lying on their backs next to Daniel as the boy groaned while lying face down between them and spitting out dirt.

  “Are you two… okay?” he asked wearily.

  The girls looked to him then to the deathmare as it howled down at them, its cold glare focused on its prey while it held its weapon in both hands. Daniel and the girls started to hear something rumbling nearby as the light in the street began to brighten before the deathmare wailed again while leaping out of the building with its scythe geared back to strike.

  “No!” the girls screamed as they quickly held onto Daniel and shut their eyes, with Specca wrapping her tail around him and Triska holding her blade up to shield him, both of them bracing for death with the boy they loved.

  Alyssa ran into a shop along with Squeak and Falla, the three girls passing by tables that had wooden toys, dolls, and books set on them while the streetlamps outside cast a faint red glow into the building. They ran to the back of the store near a shelf full of dolls then turned to seeing Jovian and Jacqueline running inside as well, the twins then standing near the tables while giggling with dark smiles on their faces.

  “Playtime is over,” Jovian said as she reached out and picked up a stuffed doll, crushing it with her bare hand before dropping it to the ground.

  “Now you’re going to scream for us,” Jacqueline taunted before the sisters ran toward the girls.

  Squeak kicked a table towards them, throwing wooden toy shields and swords at the twins who batted them away with their hands before the ant girl swung over with her pickaxe and spiked it through Jovian’s head, swinging the dark girl over to the side and into a counter where she crashed through the boards and frame. Squeak held the pickaxe with one hand then used her foot to stomp Jovian down through the counter, plowing the girl’s body through the wooden debris with blood splattering onto the floor. Alyssa waved her hand sharply and threw out several stuffed dolls and teddy bears from the shelf behind her at Jacqueline, the blonde swatting them away before she was then thrown across the room by the witch’s magical power into a glass cabinet that held some decorative clay bowls and cups inside. The crashed through the pottery and shelves before Alyssa held her hand down to the wooden swords on the floor, causing three of them to rattle around before the witch swung them over towards Jacqueline. As the wooden swords spiked through Jacqueline’s body and pinned her to the wall Squeak yanked her pickaxe up out of Jovian’s skull and started whacking at the girl’s body again and again with fierce swings and squeaks, tearing apart Jovian’s stomach and face as blood splattered onto the floor and wall.

  “Just die already!” Alyssa yelled as she swung her hand out again, causing three more wooden swords to fly through the air and spike through Jacqueline’s body. The blonde girl twitched a bit as she was pinned to the wall before looking to Alyssa with a cold smile.

  “Fighting me with mere toys, how typical for a little witch,” she hissed before she swung her hands down and broke all the swords apart, the girl then pushing herself forward away from the wall and off of the wooden stakes before dropping down to her feet. As her wounds healed up again Falla stared at her with shock.

  “What the hell can survive that anyway?” she said shaking her head.

  Alyssa watched Jacqueline with frustration then looked over to seeing Jovian kicking Squeak over to the side, the ant girl hitting against the counter before dropping to the floor with a squeak while her pickaxe fell next to her. Jovian slowly started to sit up again as her body regenerated, with Alyssa yelling out with frustration before she held her hand out towards Squeak’s pickaxe.

  “Dammit, I’m not playing this game!” she yelled out before swinging her hand towards Jacqueline, causing the pickaxe to launch off of the ground in a sharp spin before it struck into the blonde’s head with a crunch. The girl wavered a bit with a stunned smile on her face before Alyssa yelled and swung both her hands towards Jovian, causing the pickaxe and Jacqueline to be thrown across the room and into the raven haired girl, the other side of the digging tool striking through Jovian’s neck as it threw her back into the wall with a thud. Squeak slowly got up while holding a hand to her side, looking over to the twins with frustration as Alyssa and Falla slowly walked over towards her. The sisters twitched a bit before Jacqueline pushed herself off of the digging tool, her head healing up again while she grabbed the pickaxe and yanked it out of Jovian. The raven haired girl spat out blood to the side before they both smiled wickedly at the girls, their wounds healing up completely while they giggled in unison. Jovian took hold of the pickaxe and wiped some blood off of it carelessly while Jacqueline flicked her hair back behind her shoulder.

  “Aw, but we’re having fun,” they taunted together before dashing towards the girls again. Jovian leapt up onto the counter then dove towards Squeak with the pickaxe geared back, the ant girl bracing herself before Alyssa used her magic to throw Jovian down to the side onto a table. Jovian crashed through piles of books and the wood while Jacqueline raced over towards the witch. Before Alyssa could move the dark sister grabbed and threw her over with great force towards the back shelf, the girl crashing into it with a painful gasp before dropping down with dolls and boards falling on top of her. Squeak let out a loud squeak as she saw her friend struggling to move before Jacqueline spun around and grabbed Falla, the butterfly girl screaming as the blonde girl swung her over and slammed her into the coun
ter, holding her down onto it while leaning close to her face.

  “I’ve been waiting to make you scream,” Jacqueline taunted with a deranged smile on her face. “You’d better not disappoint me!”

  Falla tried to kick free as the blonde held her hands down by her head on the counter, her wings pinned behind her and unable to move as they tried to flutter on reflex. Squeak ran over to grab Jacqueline before a pickaxe swung out in front of her and hooked her back by the neck, the ant girl squeaking loudly before Jovian threw her down to the ground. Squeak hit the floor and tried to scramble away before Jovian whacked the pickaxe down into the floorboards above her shoulder, halting her from moving forward before the dark girl kicked down on her back hard. Alyssa coughed and slowly looked over to seeing Jacqueline laughing at Falla while holding her down on the counter and Jovian keeping Squeak down on her stomach with one foot on her back. The twins slowly looked over to Alyssa and giggled, with Jacqueline grabbing Falla’s hair and pulling her head back while Jovian kneeled down and gripped Squeak’s antennae with one hand, the ant girl letting out a sharp squeak as she stared ahead with wide eyes.

  “Ready to watch them die?” Jacqueline said before licking along Falla’s neck, the butterfly girl glancing to Alyssa with fright as the witch slowly started to get up.

  “If you wish to join in with their screaming, please do so,” Jovian mentioned. “It makes it more fun for us.”

  She sat down on Squeak’s back and shoved her onto the floor by the shoulder, the ant girl letting out a strained grunt as the dark girl held her antennae back and kept her facing the wall in front of her. Jovian leaned down and licked the ant girl’s cheek before glancing to Alyssa with a cold smile.

  “Anything you want to say before we eat them?” Jovian taunted as she sat up and brushed Squeak’s hair, the ant girl trembling in fear while Jacqueline leaned back and smiled wickedly down at Falla, the butterfly girl breathing sharply as she couldn’t budge from her grip.

  “Yes, just one thing,” Alyssa whimpered as she slowly stood up while holding her hands up defensively. The girls all looked to her as she closed her eyes and sniffled with a saddened expression. After a pause she then looked at the twins with a deep glare.
