Chronicles of Eden - Act 2 (118 page)

“You mean it? I’m a good girl? I am?” she asked hopefully. Daniel nodded before Luna hugged him tightly and started laughing like a lunatic, with everyone but Falla watching with wide eyes as the girl had an extremely twisted smile on her face.

“I’M A GOOD GIRL! I’M A GOOD GIRL! YAY! I FEEL SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!” she screamed as she laughed out of control.

“What is wrong with her?” Kroanette asked shaking her head.

“What
isn’t
wrong with her at this point?” Falla muttered before she growled loudly and stomped her foot with a frustrated glare at Daniel.

“Goddammit! Enough of this horseshit, you people are all out of your minds!” she yelled out.

“No, I believe the only one of us here that’s mentally ill is her,” Kroanette said pointing to Luna, the butterfly girl laughing hysterically for a while before she looked at Daniel with adoring eyes.

“Does this mean I’m a kindhearted girl as well?” she asked gently. Daniel blinked then slowly nodded with a nervous smile.

“Sure, sure you are, Luna,” he said, hoping that wouldn’t set off the special monster again. Luna sighed happily then nuzzled her nose against his.

“I am? Then can we have sex too? I won’t rape you, I promise,” she said happily. Everyone blinked and just stared at Luna before Daniel’s girls narrowed their eyes at her.

“Wait, what?” Triska asked sharply.

“Why would you assume Daniel would have sex with you now?” Specca inquired. Luna giggled and looked to her with an eager smile.

“Because I’m a kindhearted girl who doesn’t rape people, Daniel said he would choose any girl who is like that to have sex with, right, Daniel?” she said looking back to Daniel who just stared at her with a stunned expression. After a moment he managed to get out a single word with a confused smile.

“Huh?” he asked unsurely.

“He’s not having sex with you, Luna, he’s
our
man,” Triska snapped with a stern expression.

“Yeah, we’re not sharing him with anyone else, he’s ours and ours only,” Alyssa added with a nod.

Luna looked around at the girls with worried eyes then to Daniel as she held onto his shirt.

“But I thought if I was kindhearted you would like me and knock me up on your own free will, isn’t that how this works?” she asked sadly. Daniel shook his head as he gently removed her hands from his shirt and held them before him.

“Luna, I said I would choose any kindhearted girl to be my mate, and I did. I chose Triska, Alyssa, Squeak, and Specca to be with me because I love them,” he explained.

“So why can’t you love me too? What’s wrong with one more?” Luna asked worriedly. Daniel smiled weakly and shook his head.

“It’s not that simple, Luna. It’s great you’re a kindhearted girl now, and I’m glad you’ve learned that raping others is wrong, but… I mean, we don’t even really
know
each other, we haven’t had time to get close to one another or-” he said before Luna quickly held him close and pressed her face against his, seeming to squeeze him tightly while she smiled hopefully.

“Is this close enough?” she mumbled against his cheek.

“Not what I was going for at all,” Daniel replied before he tried to push Luna away, the girl holding onto him still as if for dear life.

“Luna, just because you’re kindhearted doesn’t mean Daniel is going to have sex with you. Being kindhearted and caring of those around you is how you would get humans to accept you as you are, that’s what he was trying to teach you,” Specca insisted with a forced smile. Triska ran over and yanked Luna off of Daniel before holding her back while forcing a smile as well while Alyssa and Squeak rushed over to Daniel’s sides.

“Ok, let’s just get something cleared up here;
we’re
the only ones who get to sleep with Daniel. He chose us because he loves us, so as a kindhearted person you need to respect that and not get so close to him,” Triska stated firmly. Luna looked to Daniel curiously then to Triska with a worried smile.

“So if I can get Daniel to love me too by being nice and doing as he says, then I could mate with him?” she asked.

“No, you can’t have sex with Daniel at all, he chose
us
to be with because he loves
us
,” Alyssa argued. Luna looked down in thought for a moment then to her with a hopeful smile.

“So if he chooses me because he loves me for being a kindhearted girl then I can mate with him?” she asked eagerly.

“It’s just going in one ear and out the other,” Specca groaned while shaking her head.

Kroanette nodded then walked up towards Daniel with an alluring smile, the other girls watching her with concern as they all saw the way she was looking at him.

“I believe what they’re trying to say is that being kindhearted and caring isn’t all there is to it. We monsters must respect the man, and only if there is love between us is it alright to have sex with each other, is that correct?” she asked. Daniel and the girls looked to each other then to her with weak smiles and nodded while backing up a step together.

“Yes, that’s right, you got it,” Triska quickly agreed with.

“And for that love to form, quality time with each other must be spent to create that special bond, because it cannot be forced, yes?” Kroanette questioned, looking up with a thoughtful expression.

“Yep yep, only those Daniel loves and who love him could have sex with him, that’s the only way it would be alright,” Alyssa said while holding onto Daniel’s arm.

“You can’t force a human to feel such a way, it has to come naturally, that’s how love works,” Specca said while holding onto his other arm.

Squeak squeaked something while smiling nervously at the centaur, trying to say something as she held up a finger while shaking her head a bit.

Kroanette nodded then looked to Daniel with a knowing smile.

“So what that means is if Daniel and I spent quality time with each other-”

“No,” Triska argued shaking her head.

“-and truly got to know each other and felt closer with one another-”

“Wrong, wrong!” Alyssa cried out shaking her head.

“-that he and I would feel love form between us-”

“You’re not getting this at all!” Specca exclaimed while holding onto Daniel’s arm tightly.

“-and then it would be alright for us to have sex should he choose me as his mate,” Kroanette finished, with Squeak frantically squeaking with frustration as she shook her head. The centaur nodded as she looked down in thought for a moment then smiled curiously at Daniel while placing a hand to her chest.

“Well then, it’s a good thing it’s a long way to my home, we’ll have plenty of time to get to know each other better, Daniel,” she said with a wink. Daniel stammered something nervously before Luna giggled with a joyous hop.

“I can do that too! I’ll be nice and do exactly as Daniel says; I’ll be a good girl! I’ll be so good that he’ll love me for sure! And then he can give it to me from behind!” she cheered out with excitement.

“He’s going to do no such thing to you!” Specca shouted out.

“You’re not listening to anything we’re saying!” Alyssa yelled with frustration.

Luna hopped around with playful laughter then gasped and looked to Daniel with wonder.

“Wait, we can take you to our home too! You can talk to the other giant butterflies about how not to rape others; you can convince them all to be good girls too! Would you, please? Please?” she begged with a hopeful smile. Daniel and his girls just stared at her with stunned expressions before he blinked and tilted his head slightly.

“Huh?” he asked again.

“What? We’re not taking him to our home! That’s a horrible idea!” Falla yelled out. Luna looked to her with worried eyes and held her hands together in pleading manner.

“But, Falla, the others need to hear this, they need to know that what they’re doing is wrong. Besides, I don’t want our sisters to be like Darker Ones. Please, Falla, we need his help,” she begged before she started crying.

“Oh no, don’t start that with me, tears will not sway me this time, Luna! We are not taking this nutcase to our home, and we’re certainly not going to help him spread his wild theories with anyone else!” Falla argued while stomping her foot.

“But, Falla! Please! We have to help him! And he needs more monsters to have as his proof, right? He needs five more otherwise that witch won’t help him. We can help with that, we’ll be the first race he can have to stand with him!” Luna pleaded while holding up six fingers. Falla just stared at her with bewilderment while Daniel and his girls glanced to each other questionably.

“We actually already have an ant girl nest that wants to help, so technically you would be the
second
monster race to help us,” Specca interjected.

“And you’re holding up
six
fingers,” Alyssa pointed out with a raised eyebrow.

“I would be glad to assist Daniel with traveling anywhere he needs to go, and of course to help sway my mother into joining his cause as well. It would be an honor to be allowed to do so for him,” Kroanette added with a hopeful smile at Daniel. He and his girls looked to her nervously then to Luna as the girl held up eight fingers at her sister with a desperate smile.

“You see? If we help him then we’ll have all the monster races he needs, that’s all eight,” she tried to reason with.

“Your math is just horrible,” Specca commented shaking her head.

“Where is she getting eight from?” Triska asked with confusion. Falla looked to Daniel with anger then to Luna as she saw her sister smiling worriedly at her with a few tears running down her cheeks.

“Luna,” Falla growled while shutting her eyes.

“Please, Falla, I believe in him, I want to follow him and help him, I really do,” Luna begged. Falla opened her mouth to yell at her, halting as Luna backed up with a fearful squeak, then sighed and looked down while holding her head.

“I promised mother I would watch over you out here in the world, if that wasn’t her last request before she died I would have been so happy, I would have…
arg
! What makes you even think Daniel could convince our race not to rape humans anyway?” she demanded looking to her sister.

“Daniel can show them that they’re wrong in doing such a thing, I know he can,” Luna insisted.

“And if he can’t? Luna, everyone at our grove knows you’re not exactly the brightest thinker, but if you go back and start talking this nonsense then you might be banished from home forever, and me along with you!” Falla shouted out.

“Please, Daniel can make them see reason, please trust him like I do,” Luna begged. Falla growled then turned to Daniel with frustration, the boy just watching the sisters with an uncomfortable smile before he glanced to Kroanette, the centaur watching him with a promiscuous smile as she twitched her eyebrow a bit.

Triska groaned quietly then looked to Daniel with an uneasy frown.

“Daniel? What should we do here?” she asked, almost fearful to know the answer. Everyone turned to him as he slowly glanced to the butterfly sisters then to Kroanette, knowing that he could indeed use their help as they needed every monster supporter they could get for Charlotte to stand with them as well.

“Well… centaurs and giant butterflies, that’s two more races we could get to help us. We would have three then with Squeak’s nest, only two more after that and then Charlotte would back us up as well,” Daniel reluctantly reasoned. His girls looked to each other with concern then to the others as Luna nodded eagerly to that along with Kroanette, with Falla just glaring at Daniel as she crossed her arms in discontent. Kroanette then walked over and stood beside the girls as she smiled confidently at Daniel.

“Then it’s settled, we’ll travel to our homes together with you and allow you to speak to our kind with your beliefs. I’m quite certain you’ll succeed with doing so, you managed to convince not only all of us but also an alpha witch that great change can be possible,” she praised with a few light claps with her hands.

“I’m not convinced at all! He’s out of his mind if he thinks he’s going to convince monsters to stop raping humans, that’s simply the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard, and I’ve heard a lot of stupid things from my sister,” Falla snapped with narrowed eyes at Daniel. Luna backed away from her then held onto Triska while watching her sister with worried eyes.

“Please, Falla, I don’t want to rape anyone, I just can’t knowing how horrible it is for them, and I don’t want you doing such a thing either. If Daniel can help show all of our sisters to be kindhearted so they can get humans without hurting them then we have to try to help him,” Luna pleaded. Falla looked at her with a dull glare then to Daniel with a raised eyebrow, with him and all the girls around watching as she snarled quietly while baring her teeth slightly.

“Please, Falla? I don’t remember how to get home from here, we need you to show us where to go,” Luna whined while hopping up and down, rubbing her breasts against Triska’s back as the teen glanced to her with a troubled expression. Falla growled while watching Daniel with an accusing glare.

“First you promised to knock me up, and then run away from doing so. Then you treat me like crap when I need your help finding my sister. Now you’ve corrupted Luna with your stupid beliefs and nonsense about how monsters are supposed to treat humans. Give me one good reason why I should take you to our home and let you speak to our sisters about anything, give me
one good reason
,” she demanded while stomping her foot. Everyone looked to Daniel as he saw the butterfly girl just fuming with anger while her wings fluttered once behind her, his eyes then slowly going around from one girl to the other as they all waited to hear what he would say. After a moment to think about it he walked forward from the girls towards Falla with a solemn expression.

“Do you remember the pain and torment your sister went through, the suffering she endured when she was raped? How did that make you feel towards Emily after you found out what she did to her?” he asked.

“How did it make me feel? How do you think? I hated that fucking bitch! I wanted to kill her myself for what she did to my sister!” Falla yelled out.
