Chronicles of Eden - Act 2 (103 page)

“I… I just can’t. I’m sorry, I just don’t know who I love more,” he said remorsefully.

“Daniel, did you just say who you love
more
?” Specca asked carefully. Daniel looked to her and nodded, with the girls then showing curious expressions as Specca slowly shook her head.

“So, then you
do
love us?” she asked again. Daniel blinked then looked around at them with a small jump as he tried to think of what to say.

“Well… I mean… I don’t know, that’s just it, I don’t-”

“Yes you do. You just said you don’t know who you love
more
, that means you love us all the same,” Specca reasoned with wonder. Daniel stammered something nervously as the girls all watched him with careful eyes.

“Daniel?” Triska asked cautiously. Alyssa smiled a bit and leaned closer to Daniel.

“Daniel? Do you love
all
of us?” she asked knowingly. Daniel merely stammered some form of incoherent response as the girls all glanced to each other curiously. Specca looked down in thought for a moment before back at Daniel while watching him carefully.

“You say we all mean the world to you, that you can’t pick among us who to have as your mate, and now you claim you don’t know who you love
more
. Daniel, do you… do you love all of us?” she inquired. Daniel opened his mouth to speak before looking down with confusion, questioning that very premise himself. After thinking hard about it he slowly looked back to the girls as they all watched him with question.

“I… um…” he slowly got out before failing to form any other words. Apoch and Astreal grunted with annoyance as they tapped their staves on the floor.

“Enough of this, are you going to prove your words to Ms. Charlotte or not?” they demanded together. Daniel looked to them then to the girls as they all glanced to each other. Alyssa then giggled and looked back to Daniel with a knowing smile.

“Daniel, are you going to pick one of us yet?” she asked. Daniel gulped and slowly shook his head, with Specca adjusting her glasses as she watched him carefully.

“Is that because you don’t want to? Or because you honestly don’t know?” she asked. Daniel remained silent as all the girls watched him closely, with Triska then walking up to him and setting her hands at her hips.

“Daniel, I want an answer right now, no more hiding with this. Tell me, honestly, do you love me too?” she asked pointblank. Daniel stared at her with wonder before glancing to the other girls, with all of them smiling curiously at him. Triska then grabbed his jaw and turned his focus back to her, the girl leaning closer to his face with an accusing stare.

“Do you?” she demanded.

“Triska, I…” he said before trailing off.

“You risked your life to fend off a Darker One from killing me, you say I mean the world to you, so tell me honestly, do you love me?” she asked again with a gentler tone. Daniel hesitated in speaking before glancing over to the other girls, with Specca slowly walking up to him and holding a hand to the side of his head.

“Daniel, do you love her just as much as you do with us? Is that why you won’t answer her?” she asked softly. Triska slowly let go of the boy as Squeak walked over and sat next to him, the ant girl holding onto his arm as Alyssa hopped over onto the other side of him and held onto his arm as well.

“Is that why you haven’t picked one of us yet? Not because you don’t feel strongly about one of us, but because you feel strongly about
all
of us?” Alyssa asked curiously. Daniel looked to her as he tried to speak, not getting any words out still before he saw all the girls watching him with wonder. Triska glanced down for a moment before looking at Daniel with the sudden realization.

“You do, don’t you? You… you actually love… all of us,” she said softly. Daniel slowly looked around at the girls, seeing Alyssa blushing and nuzzling against his arm, Triska staring at him with a stunned expression, Specca holding a hand to her cheek as she blushed timidly, and Squeak holding onto his arm which was being enveloped in her bosom as she squeaked softly at him. He then looked down as everything played out for him again, the thought of Triska nearly being killed by the deathmare, how Squeak nearly died trying to save the caravan from going off a cliff, how Specca was nearly killed by Charlotte and her bladed cage, and how Alyssa was almost beheaded right before him. The thought of losing each girl hit him one after another, along with the sudden realization of what clicked in his mind before out in the streets of Eston, when Charlotte and her helpers criticized him for claiming to ever love a monster.

“I do,” he said softly, with all the girls gasping quietly as he showed clarity with his insight. He felt so strongly for each girl, found each of them to be stunningly beautiful and charming, and knew that he couldn’t live without them in his life. He loved them, monster or human, he loved them all equally.

“I do,” he repeated, looking to Triska with sincerity, the girl holding her hands to her mouth as she felt both joy from hearing that he loved her and also disbelief from knowing that he felt that way about the others as well.

“I… love you, all of you,” he admitted looking to Alyssa, the witch watching him with wonder as her jaw dropped slightly, her heart beating faster as she heard him admit his feelings for her.

“You’re all so special to me, more than you could imagine,” he confessed as he turned to Specca, the nixie having tears welling up in her eyes behind her glasses as she felt her heart beating faster as well.

“I just can’t pick one of you over the others, I just can’t,” he said looking to Squeak, the ant girl looking at him with curious eyes as she squeaked softly while still holding his arm close between her breasts.

Daniel looked around at all of them before down with closed eyes as he shook his head slowly with remorse.

“I’m sorry; I know that’s unfair of me to say that, I know that’s not what you want to hear. But… the truth is… I can’t pick between you, I just can’t, I love and care for you all. I’m sorry, I’m not worthy of having any of your affections, I feel horrible for saying this, that I can’t choose just one of you,” he admitted with regret. The girls all looked to each other then to Apoch and Astreal as the sisters cleared their throats with annoyed expressions.

“For the
last
time, what are you going to do? Choose now, or else get out of this town!” they shouted out, with Charlotte’s cat hissing at them with a scowl. The girls all looked to each other with wonder then to Daniel as the boy kept his head lowered in shame.

“Daniel, is that your answer then?” Triska asked softly.

“Are you choosing all of us?” Specca inquired carefully.

“Is that what you truly want?” Alyssa asked tenderly.

Squeak merely squeaked something with a raised eyebrow at Daniel.

Daniel slowly glanced around at all the girls then nodded with a saddened expression as he closed his eyes.

“Yes, I’m sorry, but… I just can’t choose one of you over another. If I were to lose any of you… I would feel broken inside,” he confessed with remorse. The girls looked to each other for a moment then to Daniel with blank expressions as Alyssa and Squeak stood up and walked over beside Triska and Specca, with Daniel feeling his heart breaking, fearing that all of them would abandon him right then and there for being so cowardly with his decision.

‘What is wrong with me? How could you even say such a thing, you’re just the worst to these girls. They all wanted to be with you, to love you and only you, and what do you do? You say you want to be with them all, how despicable of yourself. They deserve much better than me, they deserve somebody who can really love them more than anything in this world, I’m such a coward and cruel jerk to them; I can’t stand myself!’

“Ok,” Triska, Specca, and Alyssa said together, with Squeak giving a short squeak as well. Daniel paused for a moment then looked to them with confusion, seeing the girls all smiling coyly at him.

“Ok?” he asked unsurely.

Triska smirked then kicked her boots off behind her against the door, with Daniel watching with wide eyes as the girl unbuckled her belt before slowly bending over to pull her pants off, along with her underwear. As Daniel’s cheeks took on a deep blush Triska stepped over her pants before taking her shirt off, her breasts bouncing once in her white bra before she tossed her shirt aside and removed the lingerie with one hand, with Daniel then staring with an open mouth as the girl dropped her clothes down to the ground before stretching her arms out above her as she shifted her hips around slightly to flaunt her figure before him. Daniel gazed at her naked body while rendered speechless, for the first time seeing her completely exposed and also noticing that she had very little pubic hair near her pussy. The girl took off her bracelet and dropped it down behind her before she held her hands at her hips with a wink at Daniel.

“You’d better take responsibility then, Daniel,” Triska mentioned with an expectant smile at him, of which the only reply she got was another hoarse whine that came out of Daniel’s mouth as he stared at her with shock.

Alyssa giggled then took off her focuser crystal and her bowtie, the witch setting them back down behind her. She took off her shoulder covers before she pulled her shirt off over her head, with Daniel then watching her with a stunned expression as the witch dropped her clothing down to the floor before she unfastened her skirt. With a wink at the boy she shifted her hips around, letting the skirt drop down to the floor before she bent over and untied her boots. Pulling them off she then sat back down on her rear and one by one took off her stockings, with Daniel getting a clear view of her naked body and exposed pussy as she made no effort to cover herself in doing so. Hopping back onto her feet she held her hands back behind her with a timid smile as she gently flicked one foot behind her.

“You’re just too desirable, we can’t say no to you. If anything, you charmed
us
, Daniel,” Alyssa said gently, which also got no audible response from the boy as he continued to stare at the naked witch with an open mouth.

Specca glanced away with a blush on her face before she slowly undid her tie and tossed it back behind her, the nixie then gently kicking off her sandals before she took off her shirt, revealing that her breasts and torso were all covered with her aqua colored scales as well, with her shoulders and upper chest being human in appearance. She slowly took hold of her skirt before looking to Daniel with a timid smile, the boy staring at her with wonder as she slowly lowered her dress down to the floor and stepped over it, the girl then standing there completely naked while watching him through her glasses. Daniel gazed up and down at her exposed body, seeing her standing there as she slowly rested her hands back on her hips while having a bashful smile on her face.

“You’re the only man in the world for me, Daniel, I know it for a fact,” she confessed dearly.

“Hold on, you mean I’ve been the only one here wearing a bra this whole time?” Triska asked while looking at Specca’s breasts. The nixie blinked then glanced to her with a shrug and small smile.

“Um, yes, I’m afraid such a thing would be rather uncomfortable for me,” she admitted, with Triska shaking her head slowly before glancing to Daniel with a smirk.

“Well then, I guess I won’t need to wear that thing anymore from now on either, will I?” she mused playfully, with Daniel looking to her with a startled jump as she winked at him.

Squeak smirked then took off her boots, dropping them down behind her before she took off her tunic over her head, with her breasts bouncing a few times in doing so as she tossed her clothing back down onto the floor. Daniel watched her with wonder as Squeak slowly took off her underwear, sliding the panties down to her feet before she gently kicked them back onto her clothes, then stood before him and squeaked softly while taking off her gloves and tossing them back behind her as well. She then held her arms across her stomach and perked her bosom up slightly while slowly wiggling her abdomen behind her with a simple squeak, with Daniel staring at her with awe before he slowly looked around at seeing all four of the girls watching him while being completely naked now.

“You chose us, Daniel, so here we are,” Alyssa said gesturing around at all the girls.

“We love you, so much, so… if this is what you desire, then so be it,” Specca said while glancing around at her naked friends.

Squeak squeaked something while holding a hand to her hip and another to the back of her head, the girl striking an alluring pose as she winked at the boy with a promiscuous smile.

“I’m not letting go of you, no matter what. And if that means having to share you with them, then I’m alright with that,” Triska reasoned with a shrug.

“You… are?” Daniel asked with wonder. Triska nodded and glanced to the girls as they all looked to her with warm smiles.

“We are just the worst kind of rivals for you, Daniel, we ended up loving each other too much while trying to win you for ourselves,” she mused, with Alyssa giggling then turning to Daniel with a shrug.

“Since you can’t pick among us, we’ll all have to be your lovers together, yep yep,” she reasoned with a hop. Daniel stared at her with surprise before looking to Specca as the nixie slowly eyed him over with a timid smile.

“If this is the only way I can be with you, then I’ll gladly accept this. Besides, I’ve grown rather fond of them as well, perhaps this is the best choice for us after all,” she admitted before looking around at the other girls.

Squeak squeaked something while glancing to the other girls with a gentle smile before she looked at Daniel with a coy smirk and squeaked something else, seeming to undress him with her eyes as she squeaked something with a blush forming on her cheeks. Daniel watched her for a moment then slowly looked to the other girls as they all watched him with growing lust as well.

“Um… I… don’t know what to say,” he said with a nervous smile. Apoch and Astreal cleared their throats again, with Daniel and the girls looking over to them as they tapped their feet impatiently with narrowed eyes at the boy. Triska, Alyssa, Specca, and Squeak looked back to Daniel with hopeful smiles, the boy slowly turning to them as everyone awaited his decision. After a while he looked down with a sudden realization, thinking about how he felt for each of the girls and knowing that they all wanted to be his lovers, even if that meant sharing him with each other. If anything, they almost seemed to prefer it this way, even openly admitting that they truly cared for one another and didn’t want to lose each other as well.
