My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode 56-Rescue gone wrong.

“Are you sure?” I asked in a low voice, almost sounding like a whisper.

“Yes, I’m scanning the environment now” Barb told me and I sighed waiting for her to come up with the identity of whoever was with us, for a minute there was nothing but silence until she turned back to me.

“The body with us isn’t biologically formed, I feel-“ Barb didn’t get to finish before a hand grabbed her throat,

“It’s Chi” She finally completed as the hand no effect on her neck, I almost freaked out as I made the image of Hero out of the mist that blinded my view.

“I thought you said he was Chi-

“That’s the improvement the king made on him, he’s made in his image” Barb responded and I heaved a heavy sigh of relief.

“What’s your highness doing here?” He sounded the same as Hero which was kinda creepy if I was to admit.

“Well…well…well, what do we have here?” I felt a cold shiver travel down my spine at the very familiar sound, that doesn’t only travel through my ears but every part of my body. The voice behind my misery, the voice behind my pain, the disruption of my life; the ex-prince, Hero’s step brother.

“I didn’t actually think you’ll bring her here, do you have a death wish” The ex-prince laughed hysterically making another shiver travel down my spine as fear gripped me.

“She’s carrying your child dear brother, what exactly did you bring her here for?” The voice resounded again and I gulped down hard.

“Where is my-

“I know, I know….looking for little brother are you not? Okay fine…but it came with a price, it’s either the child in her womb or you come…I think I’ll rather settle for you step brother” I could picture the man smiling through the thick heavy mist.

"If you let them go first...then you can have me" Chi replied calmly and timidly like Hero would have done.

"So, I'm guessing she didn't come with you...she must have come on her own will...how lovely, you really should have listened to my brother when he asked you to stay back little wife...I heard you aren't really the queen" I felt my heartbeat raced at the tone of his voice, then it started to rush to me, like a flash that Zioko had figured out my identity right before the whole mess ensued, Zioko had managed to know me in entirety, he knew who I was, somehow and according to Hero know one except from his two brothers were aware, confusion laced my face and the crease of my brows marred my features, could one of his real brothers had betrayed him or they had managed to turn one of them against him, Hero was home alone, with Kio now...it has to be one of them behind all of this.

"Where is Nio!?" I bellowed unable to stay another second in the hellish looking place, I wanted to get back to Hero fast, I needed to...it could be Kio betraying him and it could also be Nio, but if it's Nio...he wouldn't be the one kidnapped, the feral thoughts rushing into my head was suddenly making me tremble.

"It really is you Claire, what a surprise...I wouldn't have thought in a million years that you'd be sitting on the throne of Zullion as the queen! That seat doesn't belong to you" I could sense anger and aggression in his voice and I didn't care, I didn't want to care...I wanted Nio and if he had really wanted the Negotiations to take place, then Nio was certainly near.

"Barb, find Nio...Chi I want you to find the prince, I'll deal with him myself!" I could hardly mask the hate and disdain I felt for the alien, I wanted to shred him to pieces.

"I think you should leave, there is a female alien nearby and she's trying to sing you to sleep right now...she's powerful and I doubt you'll be able to resist her. Chi and I would bring the young prince home...right now, you need to leave" Barb advised.

"But how am I going to-

"I'll play your cover" Barb offered.

"The king instruct you to return to the palace immediately" Chi relayed and I looked into his eyes, Hero could definitely see through.

"Hero, if you're hearing me right now, I think one of your brother's betray you again...you have to be careful, I'm coming" I assured and tried to leave but figures started to emerge from the mist.

"I think I've found the young prince, the singer nearby was singing for him, he's sleeping, we'll bring him...but you have to leave" Barb insisted and I nodded inhaling deeply before knocking away all the Ghafils which I guess were probably going to ambush us with a telekinetic force.

After which I raced into the mist towards the entrance with my thoughts only about Hero, but it seems the ex-prince was damn prepared on keeping us trapped in the cemetery and also, they really seems to have won over many Ghafils as I lost count of just how many attacked me as I ran, running wasn't easy, especially for a pregnant woman...my baby really wasn't having it and the pain from my stomach and Ghafils trying to attack me at the same time sent me into panic mode, I was going to release the wave if I do not find a way out of the cemetery, since I had no idea which part of the cemetery Nio was in I couldn't risk killing every one...I was shooting cosmic balls to drive away Ghafils trying to attack me but there was too many of them and I ended up losing my s**t and releasing the wave any way and like every other time I did out, I passed out, when I woke up, I was back in the palace with a very angry Hero at the door.

"Hero is that you?" I wanted to know since I wasn't sure it was him or Chi standing, I was 85% sure it was him, a robot wouldn't wear a furious look as dangerous as that I'm certain.

"I'm sorry-

"You should be" His voice was firm and authoritative having me wonder what he had in store for me.

"I am doing all I can to keep you and our future kid safe, but you kept rebelling, you went face to face, head to head with danger that could have ended you and baby you're carrying if I hadn't taken a lot of risks" I couldn't justify my actions and it made me really mad the way the things turn out.

"You killed 56 Ghafils, shut Barb and Chi down-

"Is Nio-

"He's fine, Thankfully he wasn't in range and he had managed to escape while my step mother was trying to get her son to safety, it appears he was badly injured" I heaved a heavy sigh of relief at that but Hero wasn't smiling.

"Thank you for saving my brother but I've had enough of your rebellious ways Claire, I'm taking Barb away from you-

"You can't do that" I immediately retorted.

"I'm your husband-

"You think I wanted you to be?" My anger was now obvious.

"I made Barb, I gave it to you and I'm taking it back" He replied strongly not hiding the hurt in his tone.

"You will stay in here until you birth that child and that's final-

"You will not have me locked up in a room like a prisoner Hero-

"Then what would you have me do!?" Hero's high pitched voice made me flinch.

"What would you have me do?" He asked lowering his voice a little.

"I have so many things going on right now, do you really have to add to it" Hero's question had guilt crawling over me.

"My step brother is still out there, the earth is retaliating and it seems they find our co-ordinates, they are taking the war here...I'm yet finish the arrangement of accommodation for new Ghafils that just joined us, Claire...why do you keep making things harder for me...all I'm trying to do keeping you safe so worrying about you won't be among the things I'll have to do" Hero sputtered, letting his emotions take over that I saw his eyes gloss up with tears covering his eyeballs like he was afraid they were gonna fall. I tried to stand but realized one of my hands were tied.

"I get it but you can't have me trapped to the bed too, don't restrict me like this Hero" I pleaded but he was already too consumed in his own self pity to hear me, he raised his hands to his face and tried to stop himself form crying.

"I think one of your brothers, have betrayed you" I spoke regardless of the emotional breakdown he was going through at the moment, though all I wanted to actually do the entire time was help him and protect him but it seems I was making a bigger mess for him so, I guess I would just listen to him now but at least he should know his problems before he can be able to handle them.
