Chapter 10: Everything to Me

---

It was a beautiful day. The pond rippled beneath the feet of happy little insects buzzing about. A fish would occasionally hop out of the water, do a backflip, and splash down again. The shore of the picturesque pond was occupied by a man who sorely needed this sort of time to himself.

Scott reared his arm back and then cast his fishing line forward into the water. On the ground next to him was a plastic cooler with several happily smiling fish that seemed all too eager to be eaten.

The man sighed in contentment. He had not been fishing in this manner in a while. The sun blazed high above, the pond waited tranquilly just below, and the fish were biting. It was soothing in a way few things might be.

All good things come to an end, however. The end began, not with a bang, but with a soft feminine giggle.

Scott looked around the area while he tried to see who was giggling. A low, dangerous, sounding background tune started to play. It was a somber song intermixed with creepy discordant tones.

A soft whisper emanated from his left. He whipped his head to the side to try and find the culprit. He saw no one, but the creepy nature of the moment increased when a beach ball slowly bounced into the area and then rolled to a stop at his feet.

“The hell...” The hair on the back of his neck stood up. Something very wrong was happening here.

A sweet and familiar voice softly sang out, “La... la-la, la-laaa...la.”

“Ero! Is that you?” cried Scott.

The background music suddenly began to play eerily familiar song lyrics. Scott shuddered in response. What was the girl playing at?

~ One...two... Ero’s coming for You...~

“Shit! Ero, this isn’t funny...” said Scott. He was seriously creeped out right now.

A soft skittering sound caught his attention. A feminine giggle echoed behind him. He whirled around, but no one was there.

~ Three...Four... You’ll cry for more...~

Scott’s eyes widened. What exactly did the weird little fairy mean by that? “Ero, come out here!”

~Five..Six... When she shakes her hips...~

The sorcerer backed away from the pond. Maybe it wasn’t Ero after all? Maybe some random monster had come for him. It would be best to reach a safer area.

Scott turned to walk away but tentacles sprouted up from the ground and formed into a squirming wall. His anus involuntarily clenched at the sight. That was not a direction he wished to attempt an escape!

~Seven...Eight... You’re gonna stay up late...~

The sorcerer turned around and around in slow, frightened, circles. He watched as a wall of tentacles surrounded the area. He was trapped!

~Nine... Ten... You’ll cry out again and again...~

“Ero... Stop this...” said Scott. What was with this weird vibe!

A dark, seductive, chuckle echoed through the area. Scott’s attention was drawn to the water. From beneath the water rose an incredible sight. A beautiful blond woman with perfectly proportioned features rose upward in a steady and radiant manner. Light shined all around her. It accentuated her curvature and beautiful smile to great effect.

The woman wore a clinging while gown that was plastered to her body due to the way the water had soaked into it. It clung to her curves and was shear to the extent that it left little to the imagination, but what it did not shown was well worth imagining!

It took Scott a moment to realize that the vision of loveliness was someone who he knew quite well. “E-Ero?”

The fairy placed a finger to her beautiful pink lips then gently drew the bottom one down. She gazed upon him with a look that was both tender and seductive at the same time.

Ero did not speak. Instead she raised her hand gently and then motioned for him to come forward.

Scott resisted the urge, but he was drawn closer by some inexplicable force that pulled him along the sand of the pond shore. “Ero... what?”

When he reached the edge of the water she smiled prettily. “Welcome to my beautiful nightmare...Scott.”

“What are you doing...? What was this about?” asked Scott. He could not tear his eyes from the vision before him. Who knew that Ero wearing clothes could be such an impressive sight?

She glided across the water, massive wings of light buzzed at her back. “You.”

“Me?” asked Scott. He swallowed hard. What was she doing to him? Why couldn’t he look away?

Ero slid to a stop at the edge of the water. She was a hair’s breadth away from him, as people sometimes say. In truth, she was close enough that a gentle breeze would have pushed them together.

“Yes, I am doing you.” she replied softly.

Scott blinked then managed to lean back slightly. “Ero, that’s not funny...”

“Am I laughing?” she said, a sweet smile upon her lips.

“We...Don’t do this...” said Scott, as though he had no strength to resist anything that she did.

She leaned forward slightly and gently rubbed the tip of her nose against his. “Do what, Scott?”

“This...”

“Mmm... say it, Scott. Say, what this is...” said Ero before slipping forward and pressing him down onto the bank of the pond with gentle, but firm pressure. The sorcerer tried to resist, but he was practically powerless.

“Ero... Stop...” Scott tried to push at her but it was like his limbs refused to work. He had almost no strength remaining.

She was atop him now. She straddled his waist and arched her back slightly. Her sensual curves were displayed for him to see. “Go ahead... Tell me that you don’t want this.... Tell me that you don’t need me as much as I need you...”

“Need...” said Scott. He managed to look away from the absurdly erotic vision before him. He felt his strength return. If he did not gaze upon her splendor, so to speak, he did not lose his will.

She purred softly at him then slid her hands along his chest. Ero cocked her hips to the side and her breasts swayed with the moment. She poked out her bottom lip and then spoke in a cute and condescending manner. “What does my big strong, Scott, need?”

“I... I need...” said Scott.

Ero swiveled her hips slightly then said, “What do you need. Please tell me...”

Scott whimpered out, “I need an adult...”

The fairy laughed seductively then slid her body down atop him. She breathed out a soft, warm, breath against his ear. It was like the sigh of a woman who had just acquired something she had always longed for, a soft and erotic sigh. “I’m an adult.”

The sorcerer began to pant for air. There was a crushing pressure on his heart and mind that made it impossible to think straight, hard to breathe. He did manage to gasp out, “I need... a less adult, adult...”

Ero kissed him on the ear and the man felt like his body had caught on fire. He panted heavily, and tried to find the strength to fight back against her intense pressure. What was with the force she exuded? It was like he was hopelessly outclassed by her.

Something happened, however. Scott had a strange thought. When did the tiny fairy gain the ability to be so big, anyway? Where was Rhea? Why weren’t they at the beach? The pressure slowly lifted as more thoughts about the surreal nature of the dream began to surface within his mind.

The fairy sensed that her control on the situation had started to ebb. She sighed softly. “Stop fighting me...”

She kissed him softly on the chin then nuzzled his ear with her nose. “Accept this... Everything is alright...”

The overly excited fairy pressed her body hotly against the struggling man and refused to let him catch his breath. She continually assaulted him with sweet words and tender kisses to keep him under her control.

Sadly, for her, it did not work. Scott began to realize what was going on. Once he realized that it was a dream, his strength returned in accordance to his true will.

He sat up, forcing the girl upward at the same time. She ended up sitting on his lap with her thighs wrapped around him.

“Ero... You’ve had your fun, please stop.” said Scott.

She wrapped him in her arms and sighed. Her seductive aura faded quickly. She puffed out her cheeks and then pouted. “Don’t wanna.”

“We agreed that we’d have a talk with Rhea before anything like this happened, if it ever did...” said Scott.

Ero looked at him then leaned forward and kissed him softly on the lips. Scott immediately felt his strength draining away once more. However, she did not press the issue further.

The fairy girl released his lips and then sighed. “I love Rhea, Scott. She already means a lot to me. She’s sweet and beautiful, and you two make a wonderful couple.”

“Ero...” said Scott.

“But you mean everything to me. We’ve gone through a lot, and we’ve shared many of our innermost secrets.” Ero started to shake a little then held him tighter.

Scott instinctively slid his arms around her, and the full-sized fairy started to cry a little. The sorcerer nuzzled her cheek and she returned his simple affection with earnest. “I know I mean a lot to you Ero. I care for you as well.” said Scott.

The fairy trembled gently in his arms. “You don’t mean a lot to me Scott.”

“What...?” asked the man. She had said that in such a timid way that he had almost missed it.

“You don’t mean a lot to me. You mean everything to me. I wouldn’t even be here without you...” said the girl.

A sudden spike of fear lanced through the man’s body. That had sounded strange and dangerous. “Ero... what... What are you talking about?”

She sniffled a bit then kissed him on the ear. The fairy leaned back a little so she could look him in the face. “I was alone for many years, Scott. I was trapped all along in my grotto.”

“Yeah... It must have been awful. I’m sorry.”

She kissed him gently then smiled. “Yes, it was. Day after day, year after year, I spent them alone in that place. It was my home, but I could never leave it.”

“I’m not sure I could have handled that.” said Scott.

She nodded then placed her forehead against his. Ero sighed gently then started to cry once more. “I was done, Scott.”

The spike of fear returned. Scott asked, “What do you mean?”

“I didn’t mumble. I said I was done. I was on the verge of simply ending things.” said the girl.

“Are... Ero were you going to end your life...?” asked Scott.

She did not speak. Instead, she nodded her head gently. Her hot, sad, tears fell faster.

“Ero...” said Scott. What could he say to that? The sweet and perky girl he knew had spent so much time alone that she had become suicidal! She always acted so happy and full of life... He had never known that she had felt this way.

She suddenly lunged forward with all of her might and forced him to the ground once more. She looked into his eyes with a terrified, yet strangely happy expression. “But you came for me! I had come close to ending it a few times. When I had lost all hope, you came for me.”

He looked into her tear-stained eyes and saw a girl who was broken. She was not going out of her way to be cute and perky. She was currently raw and trembling. She shook with the force of her emotional dissonance. She was a girl who had nearly given up on hope and then found it again so suddenly that she could barely believe it had happened.

“You were lonely too, Scott. I knew it the moment I saw you. When we bonded I could see your memories, feel your heart. I... I was lost the moment I met you.” said the girl. Her eyes pleaded with him to accept what she had said, to accept her earnest and sincere feelings.

Scott did not know what to say. He was never good with emotional issues and relationships. Instead, he wrapped his arms around the crying girl once more and held her tightly.

Neither spoke for a moment. They continued to hold each other in that strange, yet beautiful, dream.

Eventually, Scott spoke, “I am so glad that I met you, Ero.”

She trembled a little and then kissed him softly on the side of the face. She could not speak any longer. She was a complete emotional wreck. All she could do was lash out with sweet kisses and hold him tight for fear that he would disappear and she would be alone again.

“I can’t foresee the future. I don’t know what we will be to each other. But I promise that I will always be with you, Ero.”

“A-always...” she said it softly, innocently. She sounded like a small child who had heard someone tell her the first promise that she had ever heard.

Scott held her tightly. “Yes. You’ll never be truly alone, again.”

She froze up for a moment. Her body became tense and the sudden paralysis of movement frightened Scott. However, that was not nearly as terrifying as the ear-splitting wail that erupted from Ero’s lips.

She cried loudly and clutched at him. A floodgate of emotion had burst and all of her fears had been washed away in that moment. She believed him. She believed in him. Ero had spent many years alone in the dark. No one had given a damn about her as far as she knew. Yet, now she would never be alone again.
