Chronicles of Eden - Act VI

  “You really like Luna now, don’t you?” Triska playfully accused.

  “I’ve always liked her, but not… that wasn’t… I didn’t mean to…” Specca stuttered before turning away from the girls with a flustered huff. “It was an accident, just an accident.”

  “Uh huh, sure,” Triska said before seeing Luna still on her hands and knees while blushing. “Luna? You can get up now.”

  “Oh, right,” Luna quickly replied before gathering the glasses and standing up again. She smiled nervously at Specca with a weak giggle then quickly made her way over to the table to set the cups down for each of the girls.

  “Honestly, I wasn’t thinking about doing that to her,” Specca promised as she brought over the plates of food and set them down before Triska and one over to the side for Daniel.

  “Okay,” Triska merely replied with a shrug.

  “I mean it, Triska. I didn’t.”

  “I said okay.”

  Specca let out a frustrated grunt as she walked back over to the pantry while Pip continued to fly in never ending circles above them with playful giggling. The nixie brought out two more plates, then paused before looking to Luna then to Falla curiously.

  “By the way, the giant butterflies of Flairwood also stocked a few jars of… well, what appear to be insects of some sorts. Do you know what they are or why they put them there?”

  “Yeah, for food,” Falla replied with a smirk. “They gave us some of our favorite kinds of insects for the journey to eat.”

  “Wouldn’t you prefer some delicious mutton chops and fresh vegetables instead?” Specca offered with a troubled smile. “Or… do you really wish to have… bugs at the table?”

  “Would that be alright?” Luna asked Daniel worriedly. “Our sisters gave us some delicious sewill larvae and hoko beetles. They’re really good.”

  Daniel tried not to show a disgusted face from thinking about that then smiled weakly and nodded.

  “Well, we do have our differences that need to be acknowledged and treated fairly,” he admitted. “I suppose since giant butterflies prefer to eat things like that we need to be accepting and allow you to. Um, are they… alive?”

  “Of course, they taste best when they’re alive,” Falla answered.

  “You mean we have live bugs in jars inside our pantry?” Triska questioned. “Where all our food is?”

  “They’re sealed,” Falla defended. “Besides they’re food to us, so it would make sense to keep them in the pantry.”

  “Gross,” Clover muttered while still avoiding eye contact.

  “Clover,” Daniel sternly scolded.

  “No, for once she’s right,” Triska said shaking her head. “Couldn’t we keep Falla and Luna’s… edibles in a different place? One where they couldn’t get into our food?”

  “They’re not going to do anything to what’s in the pantry,” Falla argued while crossing her arms.

  “Daniel? Is it okay if we keep them?” Luna asked timidly. “Please? We promise nothing bad will happen.”

  Daniel glanced to the cupboard and saw a few dark tinted jars towards the top that had things crawling around inside them then to the butterfly sisters as they watched him anxiously for his answer.

  “Question,” he said raising his hand up. “If they’re alive, I understand they taste better to you, but can you promise they won’t get out at all?”

  “Of course not,” Luna assured with a wave of the hand. “Watch, I’ll show you how they’re jarred, you’ll see.”

  She walked over to the cupboard and hopped up, snatching one of the containers with her hand. Daniel watched her carefully as she approached him and showed the jar with a happy smile on her face.

  “Try to open it,” she said handing it to him. Daniel took hold of the container and eyed it cautiously, glancing over to the other girls who were also watching it with a close eye, then took hold of the lid and turned it. It loosened from around the top, with Daniel hesitating before slowly opening it a crack to peek in. He then saw that underneath the lid with the small holes for air was a silky white mesh covering that kept all the beetles inside from crawling out.

  “Wait, what is this?” Daniel asked before Luna giggled and took hold of the jar to show the others.

  “We wouldn’t let them get out that easily,” she reasoned with a shrug.

  “What is that?” Triska asked pointing at the white webbing.

  “It’s silk made from canopy larvae found in the elder trees of Flairwood,” Falla explained. “It’s very soft and has no taste whatsoever. And it also makes for great bug nets.”

  Luna demonstrated by reaching her hand into the silky net, passing right through it as it seemed to stretch and part around her hand. She then grabbed a moving beetle and pulled it out, with the webbing closing up behind and keeping the other insects inside.

  “We usually bottle these until their full,” Luna said while showing the jar to Daniel again, his eyes watching with wonder as she then held it upside down to show that the silk kept all the insects inside even with them bunching together against it. “Of course it wouldn’t be good if any got away when we opened the lids, so we make sure that they stay put until we want to eat them.”

  “That’s incredible,” Specca commented while adjusting her glasses. “That stuff actually keeps them all contained while allowing you to reach right through.”

  “To be honest the lids are just there so our young butterflies don’t eat more than they’re allowed,” Falla mentioned with a shrug. “The silk alone is enough to keep the insects inside. Although it does make it easier to stack the jars with the lids on them.”

  Luna nodded and ate the beetle with a crunch before handing the jar to Daniel, with him looking at it with marvel at seeing how the giant butterflies stored their food.

  “That is amazing,” he agreed as he tried to reach his hand through as well. The silk felt dry and stringy as his fingers poked through it without any effort. He chuckled at feeling the beetles crawling over his fingers then pulled his hand out, to which he then noticed one of the insects had stayed between his fingers and was taken out as well. He smiled curiously at it and held out to Luna before it fluttered off his hand with quickly buzzing wings.

  “Whoops,” Daniel said with a weak smile as the beetle flew over and landed down in front of the bed. He tried to lean down and grab it before it quickly scurried away under the bed. “Um, my bad.”

  “I don’t want that crawling around in our sheets tonight,” Triska commented.

  “Relax, I’ll take care of it,” Falla casually assured her as she stood up and walked over to the bed. She got down on the floor and looked underneath it, seeing the beetle hopping about further away. Trying to reach for it she only managed to get her arm to fit in the small space between the floor and bedframe.

  “Can’t quite reach it,” she muttered before moving around to the side of the bed and lying on the floor, again trying to reach for the beetle before it scurried away from her.

  “Sorry, that was my fault,” Daniel apologized as he walked over and stood over the girl.

  “I could get it if the bed was a little higher up,” Falla grunted before looking to Squeak. “Hey, you’re strong. Can you lift this a bit for me to get under there?”

  Squeak shrugged then walked over to them, standing over Falla and eyeing the very large bed that Alyssa was still asleep on.

  “Can she really move that on her own?” Kroanette asked curiously.

  Squeak grabbed hold of the bedframe then slowly lifted it up, raising the left side of the bed off the ground enough for Falla to crawl under it. Kroanette watched with wonder as the ant girl held the large bed up with her hands before she used one to scratch her nose and the other to hold onto the furniture without any effort. Alyssa slid slightly to the side before remaining still, the incline of the bed not being enough to have her rolling off of it yet.

  “Never mind,” Kroanette said with an impressed smile.

  “It’s still ama
zing to see how strong they really are,” Specca marveled as all the girls watched Squeak holding the bed up with one hand. Even Pip stopped her circling and was eyeing the ant girl with a curious eye from seeing her do that. Triska glanced up to her then pointed at the fairy with a stern expression.

  “Don’t even think about going into her breasts now, Pip,” she warned.

  “Yeah, I’d rather not be crushed under this thing today, if that’s alright with you,” Falla spoke up from under the bed.

  “Aw. Fine,” Pip pouted before flying down and nuzzling herself into Luna’s bosom, the butterfly girl trembling slightly as the fairy sandwiched herself in between them then watched Squeak while sulking. Luna glanced to the other girls and merely shrugged before they all watched as Falla scooted closer towards grabbing the beetle.

  “There you are,” Falla chuckled as her hand slowly reached out for the insect.

  Squeak glanced to Daniel with a small smile and shrug as she saw him watching her with an impressed smile on his face before they both looked down to seeing Falla’s lower body sticking out from under the bed, with her rear perking up and shaking slightly as she reached further underneath the bed. The beetle slowly scurried away from her, with the girl then leaning closer ever so carefully with a steady hand. As she did she got onto her knees to lean her body forward more, with Daniel and Squeak’s eyes widening as her skirt pulled up and revealed her rear clear as day.

  “That’s right, you’re all mine,” Falla taunted in a sultry voice, watching the beetle closely with a hungry eye. Daniel and Squeak blushed slightly as Falla leaned forward more on her knees and chest, scooting closer towards the wayward beetle and showing off her exposed genitals to them.

  “Going to eat you up,” Falla softly mused, with Squeak gulping as Falla’s rear wiggled a bit. “You’re going to taste so good.”

  Daniel quickly looked up and closed his eyes, with the other girls noticing him averting his gaze from Falla before they saw Squeak blushing more while staring at Falla’s bare ass which was sticking out from under the bed and perked up beneath her, the butterfly’s leg gently lifting up with curled toes as she was an inch away from nabbing the beetle.

  “Squeak?” Triska asked, with Squeak still staring down at Falla’s exposed flesh that was waving ever so slightly in front of her eyes.

  “Almost…” Falla quietly said as her hand reached over the beetle.

  “Squeak?” Specca called out, again not getting Squeak’s attention as her eyes were locked onto Falla’s rear.

  “Almost…” Falla hushed as her hand lowered down and touched the insect.

  “Squeak?” Luna asked. “Are you staring at my sister’s butt?”

  Falla jumped from that, hitting her head on the bedframe with a yelp before the beetle scurried further away from her. Squeak looked to Luna with a loud squeak then up while shutting her eyes and shaking her head, using both hands to then hold the bed up while she bit her lip slightly. Falla groaned from the lump she felt forming on the back of her head then froze as she questioned what she just heard.

  “Squeak?” she slowly said. “Are you staring at my ass?”

  There was a long pause before Squeak squeaked a few times. Falla slowly got out from under the bed and looked up at the ant girl curiously while still on her knees. After a moment Squeak slowly looked down to her with a nervous smile and shrugged slightly, with Falla brushing down her skirt and tilting her head in question.

  “Were you?”

  Squeak hesitated then squeaked again while nodding slowly.

  “Daniel? You too?” Falla asked looking to him.

  “Sorry, I didn’t mean to… sorry,” Daniel apologized before smiling a little at her.

  Falla stared at them with a blank expression before she noticed the beetle running along the floor in front of her. The three watched the insect crawl around Falla as she remained perfectly still, with the girl then quickly reaching out and snatching the bug up between her fingers. She tilted it around a bit, examining the beetle as it flailed about in her grasp, then glanced up to Daniel and Squeak with a sultry eye before she stuck it in her mouth. The two watched with wide eyes as Falla murmured with delight as she slowly drew out her two fingers from her mouth. She then munched the insect up and swallowed it with a gulp before her tongue licked up between her fingers in a very obvious and provocative way.

  “Delicious,” she said quietly with a twitch of her eyebrow. Standing up she wiped down her skirt then walked over towards the others with a calm smile while Squeak stared straight ahead towards the back wall while having a blush on her stunned face. Daniel blinked and came back to his senses then looked over towards Falla as the girl took the jar of beetles from her sister.

  “Taken care of,” Falla plainly said before she sat at the table again. Daniel and the girls watched as she pulled another beetle out to eat before turning to Squeak as she slowly set the bed down and faced them with a weak smile.

  “Squeak?” Triska asked again with a smirk. “See something you like?”

  Squeak shook her head and squeaked at them repeatedly while waving her hands in front of her, turning to Daniel and desperately squeaking more before looking at the girls with a nervous smile and waving a hand around in strange patterns with a few more squeaks.

  “Well, when you put it like that, I guess I understand,” Triska giggled before looking at Daniel with a curious smile. “I know I saw you staring at her butt.”

  “Triska, I-” he started before she held a hand up and shook her head.

  “Calm down, Daniel. You don’t need to explain yourself, we already know you like them that way. And it seems Specca and Squeak do too.”

  “I told you it was just an accident with my tail!” Specca whined with a blush.

  Squeak waved her hands around and squeaked frantically at Triska while Luna and Falla watched the girls curiously. They then turned to Daniel as he was rubbing the back of his neck and eyeing Luna then Falla before smiling with a shrug.

  “Before you all start fucking again, can I get my breakfast?” Clover dryly requested.

  “Clover, I swear to god…” Specca retorted before resuming preparing two more dishes. Luna grabbed a water container from the pantry then started pouring all the drinks before the nixie walked over and dropped Clover’s plate onto the table before her.

  “There,” Specca flatly said to the elf before heading over to Kroanette and setting the second plate on the floor before the centaur.

  “Thank you, Specca,” Kroanette kindly said before Luna came over and handed her a glass of water as well.

  “You’re welcome,” Specca replied with a small smile before she and Luna started walking back towards the table. As they did her tail swayed over and caressed Luna’s thigh, the girl yelping and stumbling slightly while Specca quickly grabbed her tail and held it behind her.

  “I’m sorry,” Specca begged while Luna regained her balance and smiled timidly at her.

  “Specca, if you want to play can’t we wait until after we eat?” Luna asked with a giggle before heading over to sit at the table, with Specca having halted in place and stuttering something in response while blushing slightly.

  “Is that okay with you too?” Falla jested with a smirk at Squeak. The ant girl looked down and away while squeaking something quietly with obvious embarrassment before she and Daniel sat at the table.

  “Specca, are you going to sit with us or just stand there?” Triska asked the nixie. Specca took a deep breath to regain her composure then headed to her seat at the table.

  “That was an accident too,” she softly said glancing to Luna briefly then down to her plate.

  Clover ate her meal with a dull expression, eyes slowly glancing around at the table as everyone began eating while remaining quiet. Triska was watching the other girls amusedly as she saw Luna happily eating a few beetles and plump looking larvae she pulled out of the jar, Falla snacking on a larvae while glancing next to her at Squeak with a sultry look in her eye
, Squeak trying to keep her eyes focused down on her meal as she ate with her legs crossed closer together, and Specca sitting beside her while slowly eating her vegetables as her eyes quickly moved over to the butterfly sisters then back down again. Daniel noticed all the girls being silent with one another then smirked with a shrug at Triska, the girl holding in her chuckle as she nodded before eating as well. Kroanette enjoyed her breakfast while watching the group with a curious grin, seeing the obvious tension and attractions being formed in the intertwined circle.

  “Alright,” Clover finally spoke up. “Can I ask a question here?”

  “I’d really prefer you didn’t,” Specca commented while avoiding eye contact with her.

  “I get you all want him,” Clover said pointing to Daniel skeptically. “I don’t understand why, but I can see you all wanting a man and he’s the only guy here, so you don’t really have any other choice. But what I don’t get is how you all can be so lovey dovey with each other.” Everyone looked to her as she shook her head with genuine puzzlement.

  “You’re all girls, and different species of girls at that. How can you all not only share him between you but also have sex with each other like it’s no big deal?”

  “It isn’t a big deal,” Triska reasoned. “We all love Daniel, and we’ve grown fond of each other as well. This works out really well for us.”

  “See, that’s where this doesn’t make sense,” Clover argued with her. “Usually how this works is if more than one girl wants a guy they kill each other over him, not share him. And even if they did, which I’ve never heard of or seen, it still doesn’t explain why they would want to have sex with each other.”

  “We’ve grown really fond of each other,” Triska answered with a smirk at her. “Trust us, we were surprised when we came to this resolution as well. But it does work, in a crazy way.”

  “And just how did you all come to that resolution?”

  “When we were fighting over who should be his mate we started to grow close to one another,” Specca explained. “Before we knew it we really liked each other, and realized that if Daniel did pick one of us then the rest would have to leave. We would lose each other, and we didn’t want that.”
