Chronicles of Eden - Act 2 (86 page)

“Sister, they cheated,” Jacqueline growled.

“This isn’t over, not by a long shot,” Jovian hissed before she swung Tora’s body down onto the ground, the corpse cracking and splattering blood onto the rocks at their feet. Jacqueline fumed with anger then looked to her sister.

“We should be making them scream now, we should be filling our bellies with their meat, so then why are we out here in the middle of nowhere now?” she cried out. Jovian slowly glanced to her with a cold stare, with Jacqueline then gulping and looking down with worried eyes.

“They think they’re rid of us so easily, that they’re safe from us now, that they can hide behind their trickery. We shall show them that
nobody
ever escapes from us,” Jovian said through bared teeth.

“But now what do we do?” Jacqueline asked softly. Jovian gazed around at the highlands then looked up at the sky.

“We’ll make them suffer for this. No matter where they go, no matter how hard they try, they will never hide from us. Daniel, we’re going to find you and your friends again, and this time we’re going to make you scream much worse than you would have before,” she cursed.

“We’ll slaughter all his friends,” Jacqueline growled.

“We’ll crush his hopes and dreams,” Jovian hissed.

“We’ll make all of them scream in agony for us,” Jacqueline said glancing to her sister with a wicked smile.

“We’ll make them all know true hell before they die by our hands,” Jovian added while returning the look to her sister. The twins then laughed together in unison, their voices echoing out into the valley as they stood together under the night sky. The two then turned to each other with lustful smiles and licked their lips before looking back towards the cave behind them as the sound of women laughing was heard, the two girls watching the darkened tunnel with dull glares as something approaching them.

“I’m still hungry,” Jacqueline mentioned. Jovian turned to face the cave as a few figures slowly approached, along with the warm glow of a torch being carried in the tunnel. The entrance lit up as three figures walked towards the sisters. They looked to be older woman with red skin, their bodies being smaller than the sisters’ and having some muscle on them while their figures were hunched forward as they trotted along on bare feet. They wore ragged clothing of brown and black fabric around their waists and upper bodies, with necklaces of dull gemstones and polished rocks draped around their necks. They had horrid yellow teeth with two small tusks coming up from their lower jaws, eyes that were either green or light blue which stared at the sisters while twitching a bit, and what little white hair they had on their heads hung down to the back of their necks. Two of the monsters held spears in their hands while the other held a torch up along with a rusty short sword, all three of them cackling as they grinned at the two sisters.

“Goblins,” Jovian scoffed.

“Talk about junk food,” Jacqueline remarked with a laugh.

The goblin holding the sword stepped forth and waved the blade around at Jovian in a threatening manner while the two with spears poised to strike at the sisters with eerie chuckles.

“Whatsa we haves
heeere
? Two leetle lost lambs?” the one with the sword taunted with a very thick goblin accent. Jovian merely glared at the monster before the goblin held the sword to her throat.

“Whatsa shall I do with
youu
? I wonder I wonder I wonder,” the goblin chuckled. Jovian glanced to Jacqueline then back to the monster before she darted around the sword and tackled the goblin to the ground, grabbing hold of the blade while the torch dropped down next to them. The other two goblins hissed loudly before they struck their spears through Jovian’s chest, the girl grunting with blood sputtering out of her mouth while the goblin under her laughed.

“Stupid gurl! Stupid gurl!” she cackled while the other two looked to Jacqueline with wicked smiles. The blonde merely crossed her arms and giggled before looking to her sister who drew the blade up into the air. The goblins stared at her with shock as the girl then struck her blade down and into the goblin’s skull, piercing through down to the ground with a crunch before she looked to the other two with a cold glare. The goblins screamed and backed up fearfully, both of them cowering in fear as Jovian slowly stood up with the two spears sticking through her chest.

“Why you no die? Why you no
die
?” one of them cried out. Jovian grabbed the spears and yanked them out of her body, the goblins then watching in terror as her wounds healed up completely.

“You’re not worth eating, you’re not worth killing, you’re just garbage in this world, mere trash that is as low as humans themselves,” Jovian said harshly, with the two goblins then bowing down to her on their hands and knees.

“Pleese no kill us, no
kill
us!” one of them pleaded loudly.

“We sowwy! We sowwy!” the other cried.

“Disgusting creatures,” Jacqueline scoffed. Jovian walked towards the two remaining goblins while her sister followed, with the goblins then screaming and falling onto their backs as they stared at the sisters with fright. Jovian walked by and knocked the torch back behind her, the flame rolling over then hitting against the dead goblin and lighting her clothing on fire. As the monster started to burn behind them Jovian and Jacqueline walked up and stood in front of the two terrified goblins.

“Pleese, we do anything you say! No kill! No kill!” one of them wailed while shaking her head.

“We have men in our home, we give to you, we give!” the other cried out.

“We have no use for men,” Jovian said coldly.

“We have food! We give you food!” one of the goblins screamed as the two tried to scramble backwards away from the sisters, failing to do so as they slipped and stumbled on the loose dirt below them.

“Scraps from goblins aren’t fit for even a dog,” Jacqueline replied with a dark glare.

“No! No! We find you gold? Yes, we find and give you gold!” the other goblin begged while shaking her head.

“We don’t care about gold,” Jovian said shaking her head.

“No! Pleese! I pleasure you! I promise, I use tongue well, I do good job!” one of the goblins pleaded.

“Only my sister may touch me,” Jacqueline replied coldly.

“No! What you want from us? We do anything! Tell us!” the other goblin cried out desperately. Jovian and Jacqueline walked closer then stood over the two frightened monsters, the goblins staring at the naked sisters with horror while the corpse nearby burned brightly.

“Sister, what should we do with them?” Jacqueline asked while eyeing over the goblins. Jovian thought for a moment then smiled slyly.

“Tell us, how many are in your home?” she asked. The goblins trembled before them and glanced to each other.

“Home has many goblins, tens of tens of tens,” one of them stuttered while pointing back towards the tunnel entrance near them. Jaqueline glanced to her sister with a raised eyebrow as Jovian slowly shook her head.

“That won’t do at all, tell me, are there more tribes of goblins in this forgotten wasteland?” she inquired. The goblins looked to each other curiously then to Jovian as they slowly sat up.

“Yes, we everywhere here, all here and there,” one said while waving around at the valley.

“Sister?” Jacqueline asked curiously. Jovian chuckled then crossed her arms with a slick smile on her face.

“I see. I’ll tell you what; we’ll spare your lives, if you take us to your leader in your home. Right now,” she ordered. The goblins jumped a bit then scrambled back to their feet.

“Yes, yes, we take you, we take you,” one of them quickly pleaded as she rushed over to grab the torch. She looked at the burning body of her fellow goblin with a troubled frown then to Jovian as the girl glanced back to her with a smirk.

“Move it, or else you’ll get worse than she did,” she threatened. The goblin shook with fear then quickly trotted past them with the other frightened monster, with sisters following them into the cave together.

“Why are we going to their home? They’re goblins, it probably stinks there,” Jacqueline muttered while holding her nose with a scowl. Jovian chuckled and glanced to her with a playful smile.

“Don’t you remember, Daniel wants to find as many monsters as he can to show his queen that they can be trusted, that they can live in peace together,” she reminded. Jacqueline looked at her puzzled before Jovian turned her eyes towards the goblins before them, a dark smile coming across her face as the sisters followed the two monsters toward the location of even more of them living in the mountain.

“Well, as Daniel’s
dear friends
, I think we should bring even more monsters to his queen, and show the humans just how well we can all ‘get along’ with one another,” she said before giggling. Jacqueline blinked then started giggling as well, the two breaking out into maniacal laughter while the goblins before them nervously led the two strange girls towards their home.

“Yes, I believe you’re right, we should help Daniel with his quest after all he’s done for us,” Jacqueline agreed with a dark smile forming on her face. Jovian nodded as she glanced to her sister and took hold of her hand, the two walking close together as they headed further into the mountain with the goblins.

“Indeed we should. In fact, I dare say we can bring even more to the party than he could.”

Running down a darkened street in Eston a centaur was galloping at a quickened pace, her hair flowing gently behind her while her large breasts bounced heavily under her shirt. Kroanette looked around at the passing buildings of the dead village then back behind her as she saw the glow from the burning district in the distance, knowing that Daniel and his friends were still at the mercy of the alpha witch that had come to the town.

“I fear that boy may not live long enough to see my mother after all, how unfortunate,” she sympathized before stopping at a street corner and looking around quickly, only seeing darkened buildings with the faint moonlight from above and the burning district further away providing the only light to see with.

“This isn’t good, even if that other butterfly was here somewhere I have no idea where to begin searching for her, she could be anywhere,” she said shaking her head. Scampering around on her four hooves she looked from one darkened building to another, seeing no sign of anyone while she grabbed her hair in frustration.

“I don’t believe this, this was just supposed to be a routine delivery, I just wanted to get pregnant, I shouldn’t be out here like this,” she whined. With an exasperated grunt she started to run off to leave the village, only to suddenly stop and shake her head while holding her hands to her cheeks.

“No, I can’t just leave them here like this, but it’s not like I can do anything to help them. I may be immune to magical spells, but like hell I’m going to stand up against an alpha witch, that’s suicide,” she deliberated with herself. The centaur let out a frustrated yell and stomped her hooves on the dirt as she looked back and forth from the burning street behind her to the road before her that would lead out of the village.

“This isn’t fair; they’re not my problem, why do I care so much for them? This royally stinks, I shouldn’t have to risk my life for them, should I?” she whined while holding a hand over her eyes. Looking back to the burning street further away she envisioned riding in majestically to the rescue, snapping her whip with a feral battle cry before a powerful explosion of fire and obsidian shards detonated before her, blasting her back into a bloody tumble before collapsing dead in the street while Charlotte laughed as she vigorously rode Daniel on the ground before his friends, raping him without mercy while Apoch and Astreal laughed and danced merrily around the centaur’s corpse.

“WAAAH! What am I thinking? I can’t fight an alpha witch, I can’t do this, I can’t, I need to get the hell out of here!” Kroanette cried out fearfully as she turned to bolt out of the village. Before she could move she heard a door opening nearby with a low creak, the centaur then looking to seeing a figure dropping out from the front door of a small house. Lying on the ground Luna groaned as her wings weakly fluttered once behind her, the butterfly girl slowly sitting up while looking around with a dazed expression.

“Wait, a giant butterfly? That’s her, it has to be, she looks just like the other one back there,” Kroanette said with wonder. She quickly rushed over towards Luna as the butterfly girl collapsed back down onto the ground with a groan.

“Hey, are you alright? Speak to me,” Kroanette urged as she quickly knelt down and lifted Luna up into her arms. Luna twitched slightly while her eyes tried to focus on who was talking to her, only seeing a darkened and blurry figure of a woman holding her.

“Fa… Falla?” Luna breathed out.

“No, I’m not her, but she is here, she’s looking for you. Are you alright?” Kroanette asked as she stood up again with the girl in her arms. Luna whimpered and slowly shook her head.

“I don’t like it… I don’t like it…” she whined softly.

“Don’t like what? What are you talking about?” Kroanette asked. Luna took a shaky breath with a few tears in her eyes before she started to cry.

“I don’t like it in the ass…” she whined before turning her head to cry in the centaur’s bosom. Kroanette stared at the girl with surprise then looked down the street towards the burning district, with Luna’s sobbing the only sound being heard in the deserted street.

“So much for this being a routine delivery,” she said softly before looking to Luna again with remorseful eyes.

“Alyssa!” Daniel cried out as he and his friends watched Charlotte preparing to finish the Wildfire Witch off once and for all. The group saw the alpha witch standing over their friend while the obsidian blades that were crossed over Alyssa’s neck started to budge and screech, with Alyssa screaming for her life while Apoch and Astreal giggled together with cold smiles at her.

“Off with her head!” the twins cheered with a hop.

“No, Alyssa!” Triska cried out as she and her friends rushed towards the edge of their prison.
