Chronicles of Eden - Act VIII (22 page)

“Wait, what are you doing?”

“We need to place the bones correctly together,” Daemon told her. “To do that we’re going to have to undo what you tried to do.”

“This is going to hurt,” Sasha plainly said before snapping the centaur’s leg.

Hollia shrieked as she fell to the side in Forrus’s arms, the lycan holding her upright while Sasha aligned the broken leg with a keen eye and a rather rough touch. The centaur screamed as she felt her leg aching severely, her voice echoing out across the land while Daemon knelt down beside Sasha with his blade.

“Want me to knock her out?” Rulo asked with a raised eyebrow.

“Just help me hold her still,” Forrus grunted as Hollia tried to buck around off the ground, the lycan struggling to keep her in place as the princess was going blind with pain.

“Keep her still or else we’ll have to break it again,” Sasha said with a shrug.

“No! Anything but that!” Hollia wailed in agony.

Rulo dropped her hammer with a heavy thud and ran over to hold the centaur’s bucking rump down, she and Forrus then keeping the wounded princess still while Sasha held the broken leg together.

“Why are you torturing me like this?” Hollia cried out.

“Be quiet,” Daemon ordered as he brought his sword over the wounded leg.

Hollia whimpered and clenched her teeth tightly as she watched his blade glowing, the swordsman holding his hand over it and her leg as a bright light began to engulf them. The centaur cringed and groaned with her screams before she slowly quieted down, her leg gradually becoming numb under the masking light.

“What… are you doing?” she shakily asked while catching her breath.

After a long while of silence the other girls stood up and watched as Daemon continued holding his hand and sword over the centaur’s leg, the leg that Hollia began to have feeling in again as she was able to move it slightly. The light slowly faded as Daemon stood up and sheathed his blade at his side, everyone then seeing the centaur’s leg appearing normal again as she stared at it in disbelief.

“What…” Hollia breathed out.

Ever so carefully she lifted her leg up and gazed at it in awe, seeing there was no blood or broken bones sticking through the skin, but rather it appeared as healthy as her other three. She gently set it down then slowly got back up onto her legs, feeling no pain from the healed limb as she stood on it without any trouble.

“I don’t believe it,” she softly spoke in wonder. Looking to Daemon she saw him watching her with his hand once again holding his sword’s handle. “You… you actually…
healed
my leg. It feels perfect again.”

“I don’t want you slowing us down,” he reasoned with a quick glance to her leg. “Now I trust you’ll be able to take us to where those two you mentioned were last seen without pause, yes?”

“How did you do this? Who are you? What manner of human are you? Where did you come from?”

“He asked you a question,” Sasha hissed.

Hollia jumped then quickly bowed down on all four legs to Daemon with a worried smile.

“Yes, of course. I’ll take you to where they were last seen. Please, what is your name? I must know.”

“Daemon Warrick.”

“Daemon,” Hollia repeated as she kept herself low. “I see. My name is Hollia. I never knew knights such as yourself existed in this world, but I’m grateful to have come across you. No, more than grateful. You’ve given me back so much with this gift, I was fearful I’d never run again in my life.”

“I am no knight,” Daemon corrected shaking his head.

“I dare say you are,” Hollia insisted with a curious smile at him. “Well, my knight, you have my eternal thanks for not only warding away that… strange sand wraith, but also restoring my leg with your healing touch. If you should truly keep your word about aiding me in slaying those two demons that brought about this, you’ll have answered all my prayers. Tell me, what is it I can do for you in return? I must thank you somehow for what you’ve done.”

“Show us where those two troublesome monsters went,” Daemon answered as he turned to walk away. After two steps Hollia quickly jumped in front of him and shook her head.

“That’s not enough. I don’t think you understand how big a deal this is for a centaur. You gave me back my leg, that alone is worth so much. You wishing to slay those accursed devils only makes me more indebted to you. I simply must know how to properly repay you. Tell me.”

“If you’re so adamant on severing my lord there is something you can help with,” Forrus mused.

“Anything. Name it,” Hollia insisted.

“He’s searching for some very unique artifacts, ones that are of the highest importance to be returned to him.”

“We don’t need anyone else tagging along with us,” Rulo snorted. “Those last two bitches slowed us down so much, we’re not dealing with that again.”

“I beg your pardon,” Hollia scoffed at her. “I don’t know who you’re referring to with that but I can only assume you’re not actually suggesting that a centaur would slow you down in the slightest. I would be ashamed if you could even keep up with me, orc.”

“My master could outrun you,” Rulo snapped.

“Rulo,” Daemon flatly said.

“I mean, Daemon.”

“Could he now?” Hollia curiously asked as she eyed over the swordsman. “I’m sorry, but I don’t understand how he could outrun a centaur such as myself. Or any of you for that matter.”

“You’d be surprised what we’re capable of,” Sasha warned.

Hollia glanced around at the group and saw only serious faces with no hints of amusement watching her. She turned to Daemon and held a hand to her chin in question as she tried to imagine him running faster than she could by any means.

“Very well then,” she concluded with an intrigued smile. “You have my curiosity piqued as far as it can go. I shall show you the way to where those demons were last seen, I’ll take you back to my home and point us in the direction they and their followers went. If you can truly outrun me, I’ll be most impressed. Show me just how unique you really are, and I’ll help you find anything you want in this world. Hell, I’ll become your devoted servant for life if I should be shown my place by a human such as yourself.”

Daemon walked past her with his hand held on his sword, the centaur eyeing him over with an amused grin while the other girls glanced to each other with slight smirks from the challenge.

“I should say the same thing to you,” Daemon replied with a brief look back at the centaur.

“What do you mean?” Hollia asked. She blinked then noticed the other three girls watching her in amusement before turning to Daemon as he lightly waved for them to follow.

“If you can outrun me, I’ll be the one who is impressed.”

In the world of Eden there were times where sharing something with others was acceptable and perhaps even encouraged. As long as there was a mutual benefit and a trusting relationship between everyone they would be able to enjoy having the rare or uncommon item in question together. It may seem odd or unnatural to share certain things with multiple people, but if all were in agreement about it there was no harm to be had. If everyone was fine and willing to share what they had with each other then that was all that mattered. Of course this didn’t mean that just anyone could be involved with this partaking, they needed to be given permission by the group to join in.

Otherwise all they could do was dream about having it.

*****

Sitting up on a tree branch together Falla and Luna were gazing around at the sky which had begun to turn to night above them. A few squirrels ran about through the bushes and shrubs below, the wooded thicket they were surrounded by having a serene charm to it while the sisters were holding hands in anticipation for what the night had in store for them.

“Tonight’s the night,” Falla eagerly said, trying to keep her voice calm and steady while her heart felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. “Tonight we finally get to be more intimate with Daniel and all the girls. He’s really going to… to…”

“Why are you so nervous?” Luna asked. “This is exactly what we’ve been waiting for. He’s actually going to choose to mate with us tonight.”

“I know, and I’m getting excited just thinking about it, but I can’t help but be a bit nervous. What if… what if I don’t perform well enough?” Falla closed her eyes and held a hand to her face while Luna watched her with concern. “This isn’t just us mating with a guy to get knocked up or anything, this is us mating with our
mate
. I don’t want to seem like I have no idea what I’m doing in bed with him.”

“But we know what to do,” Luna reasoned hopefully. “We learned everything we need to do to a man in school, remember?”

“But what if I screw up?” Falla fretted. “Dammit, I never thought I’d feel this kind of pressure with having sex with a man. I never thought I’d be in
love
with the guy when we did it, otherwise I wouldn’t have cared if I didn’t do something right. But this is Daniel we’re talking about, I want him to really love me and… love what I can do for him.”

“Falla, it’s going to be alright. Just do your best, that’s all you can do. I’m sure Daniel won’t love you any less if you suck at sex with him. Hee hee, of course sucking him during sex should be okay. Get it, Falla?”

“Luna,” Falla whined lowered her head. Luna smiled weakly and gently patted her sister’s back as Falla held her hands over her face. “Don’t you understand what’s at stake here? Daniel isn’t some virgin anymore, he’s had sex with those other girls plenty of times now, he knows what he’s doing and what he likes in a girl. And the others, they’re way more experienced than we are, what if Daniel likes doing them more than us? What will we do when-”

“Falla, stop it,” Luna ordered, taking her by the shoulders and shaking her. “You know Daniel would never love us less, he cares about us so much. You’re worrying yourself too much over this.”

Falla took a slow breath through her fingers then glanced to her sister with a nervous expression.

“Do you know how to eat a girl out the right way?”

“The right way?” Luna asked confusedly.

“I’ve never done it before. And we aren’t just going to be making love to Daniel in there, we’ve got all our co-mates to satisfy as well, remember? We need to make them all feel loved too or else we’re going to be horrible mates for them.”

“I thought you and Squeak did that with each other when you were caught in that rainstorm,” Luna wondered.

“Not quite,” Falla admitted with a blush. “She… she ate
me
out, but during I couldn’t memorize what she did properly. My head was swimming from her saliva. And after that I regained my senses enough to only start fondling her before the storm hit us. I never got a chance to actually try using my tongue on her.”

“Well, that’s not your fault.”

“Luna, we told Squeak and Specca that we would eat the whore out of both of them if we ever got a chance like this. That’s fine and all, but we’ve never eaten a girl out before! We’re going to suck at this!”

“Um… well, I guess we can only try our best with it,” Luna reasoned with a weak smile.

“Luna, this is serious,” Falla anxiously replied with growing concern. “We can’t screw this up. We need to… oh god, I’m not ready for this! I don’t know what to do! Satisfying Daniel alone is going to be difficult enough, but what do we do with all the other girls?”

“Falla, just do what comes natural,” Luna gently said. “It’s going to be alright. This is a big night, one that we’ve been waiting for ever since Daniel picked us as his mates, don’t let anything ruin that for you. I promise it will all be okay. We’ll do this, together.”

“I hope so,” Falla sighed as she took Luna’s hand. “I am excited, and I can’t wait for Daniel to make love to us, it’s just-”

“He’s going to ‘fuck’ us you mean,” Luna quipped with a smirk. Falla glanced to her curiously as her sister giggled and shrugged. “Isn’t that what you’ve always said in the past?”

“Yeah,” Falla admitted with a slight smile. “He’s going to fuck us. And it’s going to be great. You’re right, Luna. Sorry for getting so worked up like this, I just want him to love us.”

“And he does,” Luna assured as she held her sister, the two looking up at the stars in the sky together. “Daniel didn’t choose us as his mates simply to have sex with us. He chose us because he genuinely cares about us, he wants us to be with him always.”

“How did we never see it before?” Falla softly wondered. “All that time we just wanted to rape a man, just to get pregnant and nothing else, we never thought how it would be if he really loved and wanted to be with us in the first place.”

“There’s never been a man like Daniel before. But soon there will be, we’re going to show the world we can be together if we try. All our sisters back in Flairwood deserve to have a real man in their life, a true husband.”

“They’ll all know what this feels like soon,” Falla agreed with a hand held over her heart. “To have a man who would actually fight to keep us close. To actually love us.”

The two sisters watched the stars twinkling above as they both felt their love for Daniel growing even more, especially at the thought of him actually choosing to mate with them on that very night out of love and not lust.

“Well, I suppose there’s only one thing left to do before we head back,” Falla reasoned with a nod.

“Yeah, about that,” Luna said as they both looked over to the side curiously.

“WAAAH!” Kroanette cried out as she ran through the area behind some trees, vanishing into the shadows before she came bolting through the woods at a completely different angle. “Where am I? Where did everyone go?”

“How come she hasn’t noticed us yet?” Luna asked as Kroanette ran right below them in her panic before charging through some bushes.

“I’m more puzzled how she got lost when we’re not even fifty feet from our home,” Falla sighed.

The two sisters watched Kroanette run by in one direction then another, the centaur crying out in distress as she apparently was going in circles through the wooded area and completely oblivious to the girls sitting in the tree that she frequently passed by.
