The Chaste:

Simone’s Notes:

The role of the virgin has been an important one. They have been offered as cures and sacrifices to different cultures. Jesus was born from a young virgin girl. Humans are all born virgins. It seems to be a special thing to be a virgin. They are seen as a safe house to the nervous or a quest for those want to be the first to touch the pure white grail. But once that virginity is gone, the virgins just become ordinary people. Their value drops tremendously. Former virgins just live life just like the unclean. So, is it worth losing one’s virginity so quickly?

Jakob Riis wandered around down town to the Activity Center in deep confusion. He couldn’t explain what had happened today. Suddenly, all of these girls began to notice him. This morning started out like any other morning. He got up, got dressed, combed his hair, brushed his teeth, ate breakfast, and headed out to work as a volunteer with the kids at the Activity Center. But then, something different happened. He was walking past into town when he heard someone yell out, “Hi Jakob!!!” Startled, he looked up to see one of the cheerleaders from his school waving at him. She was a pretty little thing and all of the boys lusted after her. The girl was waving at him as if he was a hot singing sensation. The boy waved back a little nervous. “Hi, petite cheerleader.” Jakob said back in a low voice. The girl just smiled at him and walked on her path. The boy just stood there lost. “That was weird…” he thought. Then, Jakob kept walking.

“Hey Jakob!!!” someone else called out. The boy leapt up startled. The school prom queen stood behind him. She too was a lovely looking girl. Jakob tried not to look at her oddly. The prom queen never struck him as the type to talk to a guy like him. “Are you okay?” the girl asked. Jakob nodded. “Y-Yes. Yes.” he replied. “You just shocked there for a moment.” The prom queen smiled. “Oh,” she said was a string of cheer in her voice. “My fault.” “It’s okay.” Jakob replied. The two talked for a little while. The whole time, Jakob kept thinking, “Hi prom queen that would never even think about giving me the time of day in my life!” He wondered why she was talking to him now. “Uh, listen,” Jakob began. “I have to go to work now.” “The prom queen smiled her winning smile at him. “Okay,” she said. “See you around!” Then the girl left Jakob standing in more confusion. “What was that all about?” he thought.

The boy just couldn’t figure it out. Jakob stared deep into a shop window at his reflection. He looked the same as usual. His hair was still short and dark blackish-brown in charming tussled way. His eyes were still a beautiful ocean-blue. Jakob still had a pretty-looking Jakob Dylan of the Wallflowers attraction to him. His dark blue jean jacket, cotton white t-shirt, deep blue jeans, and leather brown sandals added to his budding heart-stealing look. He was a little taller but that was about it. Jakob was a kind and withdrawn person who loved to draw. He only talked to his family and friends about his thoughts and feelings. Jak did well in school like any other schoolboy through his junior year. He never really expected to become popular or the focus of attention at his school and in life. The boy’s thought back over all of his qualities to himself. No, as far as he knew, nothing about him had changed. Except for his age. Yesterday, Jakob had turned eighteen. Even then on his birthday, not many girls paid him any mind. So, what was different today?

Jakob was lost in his thoughts when something caught his eye from behind. It was another pretty female classmate of his and she was waving at him. The boy looked around to see if there was anyone else first. Nope, he was all alone. Jakob hesitated at first, but then he waved back suddenly. She just smiled at him went on her perky way. That was three times now and he had yet to figure out what had changed. Why were these “out of reach” girls all of a sudden speaking and waving at him? But then, Jakob just shrugged it off and continued onto the Activity Center. Maybe this storm that he was experiencing would blow over by noon. (If he only knew!)

Winry was in the local tech shop again for the eighth time this week. She was trying to keep away from Edward at this time of morning. She just didn’t understand it! What the hell has gotten into Edward lately? He demanded sex four times a day from her until she begged for mercy. “He’s even worse than Ralph and Matt together!” she thought in disgust. Winry shuddered at the thought of Ed’s new behavior becoming the norm in their relationship. The mechanic loved her boyfriend from the bottom of her heart but she just needed a break from him for a while. She was glad to find this tech shop when she did, otherwise she would go crazy from another one of Edward’s lustful passes at her.

Winry was turning to leave when someone bumped right into her and almost knocked her over. She looked up in rage. “HEY!!!” she barked out. “WHY DON’T YOU WATCH WHERE YOU’RE GOING, YOU IDIOT!!!!” But when she looked up, her anger turned soft. A boy about her age was rubbing at his wounds. He had soft mousy brown hair and black fame glasses. The boy was dressed in a light grey t-shirt and faded blue jean shorts. Winry suddenly felt herself lightly blushing. “Ow!” the boy said aloud as he lightly rubbed at his head. The mechanic kept eyeing at him. “Uh…” she began. “Are you… alright?” The boy slowly turned to Winry. His eyes were a real lovely hazel color. When he saw her, his cheeks became bright red. A warm awkward silence swam between them. “Y-Yes! I’m fine!” the boy finally said. Winry held out her hand. “Here,” she said. “Let me help you up.” The boy was a little nervous at first, then he slowly took the angel’s hand and she handed him to his feet. Winry’s mere touch made his pulse race even faster. “She’s so beautiful! She must be a muse or something!” he thought in excitement. Another awkward silence passed between them.

“I am so sorry miss!” the young man called out at last. “I am such klutz!” “It’s okay,” Winry said with a smile. “My name is Winry. What’s your?” “Benjamin!” the boy called out quickly. “But you can call me Benji!” “Alright.” Winry said. Another silence passed between them. “So you like mechanics too?” Benji asked. “Yep!” his new lady acquaintance called out. “I work with automail as a matter of fact!” The boy’s eyes lit up in joy. “Really?” he asked. “Yes!” Winry said aloud. “I’m learning about automail as well!” Benji said. “It always looks so difficult to me.” “It isn’t!” Winry said in joy. “Could you tell me more about it sometime?” her friend asked. “Gladly!” the girl chirped. “Great!” Benji said. Then they got lost into more talking about machines and other mechanics.

Jakob finally made it inside the Activity Center. The Activity Center was like the YMCA. It came with a gym, shooting range, basketball court, and swimming pool. Many schools held different activities at this place. Jakob and his friends volunteered to help out with the children for the spring break to help combat the boredom from their little lives. Jakob had just finished signing in when he heard, “Hi Jakob!!!” The boy quickly jerked around and saw the class president. She was an attractive and lively girl with big boobs. The class president made her way of to the boy. Jakob all of a sudden felt uncomfortable around her. “When will it end?” he thought as he tried to be polite. Tish, the class president, looked at the chart on the desk. “Wow!” she called out. “It looks like you and I and watching the little ones together today!” “Really?” Jakob asked trying to smile. “Yep!” Tish called out. “Now come on!” Then, the girl grabbed the poor Jewish boy by the arm and dragged him down to the playing room. Jakob sighed aloud. “Mikey, where are you?” he thought in distress.

His friend, Mikey, was heading to the Activity Center as well. He was nice-looking boy as well. His neat hair was short and light brown. His eyes were a deep green. Mikey was about Jakob’s height and weight. Today, he had on a black t-shirt and jean shorts with leather sandals. Mikey was pretty-looking boy. So much that he caught the attention of a certain Dark Moon.

Stef Thomas was inside a bar smoking his usual weed blunt. He looked outside and saw Mikey walking by. The boy instantly caught the man’s interest. Stef was grinning from ear to ear. “Sir?” the bar tender asked for the fifth time. The Dark Moon turned to him. “Yes?” he asked in a pleasant tone. “Would you like another drink?” the bar tender asked impatiently. Stef smiled at him for a moment and said nothing. Then, he said, “No, I’ll pay the bill right now.” The bar tender sighed aloud. “Thank you.” he said aloud. Then he walked away to the back grumbling. Stef would usually say something to the man, but he was in too much of a good mood to even call him out. He crushed his joint in the ashtray and pulled out a hefty some of money. “I’m coming for you, my dear boy!” he thought in heated desire. Then, Stef rose to his feet and left the bar in a hurry.

Jakob escaped to the men’s bathroom to clear his head for a while. Tish was acting strange around him lately. Whenever she walked by him, she would lightly smell his tussled dark hair. When Jakob looked up to see what she was doing, the girl would act as if she was guilty and hurry away from as fast as she could. When he was drawing in his sketch book, Tish would lean in real close and watch him. He would know because her breasts would brush up against his back. The boy would kindly ask her to back up so he could finish. Jakob couldn’t figure it out. Two years ago, if he had said hi to Tish, she would just walk by him as if he was never there. The final straw for him was when Tish “accidentally” brushed her foot up against his ankle. Jakob said that he had to go to the bathroom and got up and walked away in a rush.

“What is it with her?” he thought to himself. Jakob turned on some cold water and splashed his hot face to help himself think clearer. Once he felt better, he headed back out to the children again. But on the way, Jakob got lost in his current mystery again. He was so much lost in his head that the boy wasn’t paying attention to where he was going at all. Then…. CRASH!!! Jakob bumped right into someone. He staggered back a few steps. “OH GOD !!! I’M SO SORRY!!!!” he yelled out as he looked up. But when he opened his eyes, he saw Riza Hawkeye. The cup full of warm tea was spilled all of her white blouse. The woman was rightfully furious at the boy for not paying attention. She was at the Activity Center for a round of shooting at the shooting range. Riza had paused for a tea break. Well, that was ruined thanks to this useless dimwit. “YOU IDIOT!!!” she screamed out. “Look what you did, you jerk!” Jakob was at a loss for words. He was too busy staring at her blouse. Jakob noticed that she had a button missing at the top and he got a clear view of her cleavage. Right then, he had found his soon-to-be woman. “Are you listening to me?” Riza snapped. Jakob snatched his attention back to the lieutenant’s lovely feminine face. “I am so sorry!” he repeated loudly. “If you like, I’ll buy you another tea.” Riza felt a little pity for him at first, but then she came back again. “No!” she said strongly. “Look, got go away!” Then, the lieutenant hushed away to the coffee machine to get more napkins to clean up. Jakob watched her walk away in bliss. It was official, Jakob Riis had fallen in love!

“Three more players into the game!” Ai-Oni called out. “Makes things more entertaining.” “And how do you plan to pull the strings here?” Envy asked sharply. The she-devil turned to him grinning. “Depends on what the terms for them are,” she answered. “What do we have so far?” Envy rolled his eyes in annoyance. “One that attracted a gay man, another fallen for an older woman, and another dimwit that has the shrimp’s girlfriend’s eye,” he announced in a dull voice. Ai-Oni smiled again. “Excellent!” she called out. “Now to bend the elements!” The devil woman took another sip of her red wine.

Mikey was getting near the Activity Center when he heard a low whistle behind him. The boy slowly turned and saw Stef. The man was grinning at him like a cat that had just trapped an innocent mouse. “Yes?” Mikey asked in confusion. Stef slowly stepped forward to him. The boy couldn’t help but stare at the man’s gorgeous short dark hair, deep golden brown eyes, and over all manly charm. The boy didn’t want to admire it but the man was hot in his dark green t-shirt and black jeans. Stef noticed the affect that he had on the boy. “Hi there!” the man called aloud. The boy tried his best to look away while blushing. Stef couldn’t help but smile. “Aw, what’s wrong?” he asked in pity. The boy could barely speak. “I’m not gay!” he called out. Stef couldn’t help but laugh at that statement. Mikey’s face reddened even more. “What?” he snapped. The Dark Moon man stopped laughing and looked up. “I don’t know,” he said. “Your words say you’re straight but your reaction says otherwise.” “W-What do you mean?” the boy asked aloud. Stef moved even closer. “Well,” he spoke up. “Are you gay or not?” Mikey was stuck on the question completely. “No…. I mean, yes… I mean… I don’t know!” he blurted out. Then, the poor boy ran away as fast as he could to the Activity Center. Stef just stood there smiling. “I think I shall follow my sweet prize!” he thought like a hungry wolf. Then, the Dark Moon man followed Mikey like Michael Myers in the Halloween movies.

Jakob sat back on the couch in the lounge of the Activity Center and took in a deep breath. Even since he bumped into Riza, the boy had been unable to focus. His mind kept wandering back to her lovely blonde hair and deep red eyes. For months he had been wishing for a lovely girlfriend. Could Riza be the answer to his wishes? His thoughts of Riza kept clouding his head. Jak began not paying attention to the children. Tish had to call him back to Earth repeatedly. “Alright look,” she said at last. “You need to take a rest for a while, I’ll cover for you.” “I’ll be fine!” Jakob protested. “No, I insist!” Tish shot back. “Fine!” he said aloud. Then, Jakob went down to the lounge. The boy lied back onto the couch. “This has been a strange day today!” he thought to himself. Pretty soon, the boy drifted off to sleep.

[Dream Begins]

Jakob awoke alone in the dark in the kid’s room. Nobody was in sight. He looked around nervously. “How long have I been asleep?” the boy thought in confusion. “Hello?” he asked. “Is there anybody here?” Dead silence was all he received. “This is not good!” he thought nervously. Then, Jakob had footsteps coming down the hall. The boy began to relax. “Good,” he thought. “I’m not alone anymore.” But the savior was far from good! The doors slowly slid open. Jakob watched in intent. But the glow on his face faded into confusion. Her toenails were painted a thick rose red. Black velvet stiletto heels adorned her lovely slender feet. Her legs were bare and hairless. She had on black lacy silk panties and a tight black corset top. Riza had long blonde long like a veil. She had a short leather whip in her hands. Jakob was confused yet turned on. He tried to speak something but couldn’t.

“Where are the children?” Riza asked aloud. “I don’t know!” Jakob yelled aloud. “What did you do with the children, Jakob?” the woman asked again strongly. “I never touched them, I swear!” the poor boy pleaded. That answer wasn’t good enough for Riza. “Children just don’t disappear on their own!” she pointed out. “Well, you know how you’ll have to take your punishment.” Jakob swallowed hard. “Like a man.” he said in a low voice of understanding. “Like a man.”

[End of Dream]

Stef stood over Jakob smiling. He had followed Mikey to the Activity Center in secret. The Dark Moon was looking for his target when he saw Jakob sleeping on the couch in the lounge. Charmed and curious, Stef decided to listen in on the boy’s dream. He came in on the “like a man” part and the short end of the stick. “Like a man, huh?” Stef asked aloud. Then, the man stripped down to his boxers and crawled next Jakob. The sudden movement next to his body woke up the boy. Jak looked beside of him and saw Stef cuddled close to him. Startled, Jakob panicked and sat up lighting fast. “What are you doing?!?” he yelled aloud. Stef looked at the boy innocently confused. “Why are you so shock for?” he asked. “You said you liked a man. I heard you myself.” Jakob’s face was red with embarrassment as he leapt up off of the couch. “NO!!!” he yelled out. “I didn’t mean it that way! I was only dreaming! I’m not gay!!!”

With that, Mikey, Tish, and their supervisor ran into the room. Both Jakob and Stef looked up quickly. “What’s going on in here?!?” the supervisor yelled aloud. “This guy tried to molest me!” Jakob cried out. The other three looked at Stef. He sat there on the couch in his boxers. Mikey couldn’t help but blush at his half-naked male body. Stef just shrugged at everyone. “Sorry!” he said aloud. “Just a simple mistake.” Then, the Dark Moon man got dressed and left everyone. The trio turned back to Jakob who sat panting in the corner. “Maybe you should take a break for the rest of the afternoon.” the supervisor said at last. Jak just nodded at everyone. “See you tomorrow, then.” the supervisor. “Alright.” Jakob just said. Then, the supervisor, Mikey, and Tish all left back to the children.

Jakob sighed to himself. “I’ve got to get a better hold of myself!” he thought in stress. Then he put his head to his head and sighed aloud again. This clearly wasn’t his day!
