Seventeen
Crystalina opened her eyes and as soon as she did, she remembered about how she killed Jake at night. She stared at her hands, still lost in her thoughts.
"Good morning." She heard someone talking.
She stood up and saw Laticia and Adam standing near the door. There was also another lady with them. The lady had a big belly. Crystalina had never seen her before. They walked towards the glasshouse.
"So, how are you doing today?" Laticia asked with a smile.
Crystalina didn't reply. She just walked closer to the glass. They were pretty close with only the glasshouse as a barrier.
"Adam. Why did you bring me here? Who is this woman? Why is she imprisoned?" The other lady kept bombarding Adam with questions.
Crystalina's gaze shifted to the other lady. Laticia noticed her eyes' movement.
"Oh. We forgot to introduce you to the beautiful lady." Laticia said.
Adam wasn't ready to lift his gaze up. He didn't even look at Crystalina.
"Adam." Laticia called his name.
He then shook his head and looked at Laticia.
"Nevermind. I'll do the introduction thing myself." Laticia talked as she placed her hand on the other lady's shoulder.
"Queen. Meet mrs Jennifer, my sister in law and in other words, my brother's wife whom he loves a lot." Laticia said wickedly.
Crystalina opened her eyes wider when she heard the words of Laticia.
She looked at Adam who was still looking down, not daring to look at Crystalina's face. Tears formed in Crystalina's eyes as she felt anger coursing through her body.
"Ehemm!" Laticia broke out the silence.
Laticia smiled cunningly as she knelt down and placed her hand on Jennifer's belly.
"And this Adam junior, who is six months old." Laticia mentioned.
Crystalina felt furious. She started to breathe heavily. She couldn't control her anger anymore. She jumped out of the glasshouse. The glass broke into pieces. She jumped directly on Jennifer. The latter fell on the floor with Crystalina on top of her. Her body started transforming back to her original state. The queen was now in her extraterrestrial from, ready to cause destruction.
Adam and Laticia tried to push her away from Jennifer but in vain. They were not even able to touch her. Pricks of crystal were all over her body. When Adam touched her, his hands got pricked and blood started to come out.
"Leave her!" Laticia shouted.
However, Crystalina was still on top of Jennifer who was crying for help. Suddenly, the most unexpected thing happened. Crystalina's body was shrinking. She still had Jennifer in her grip. A huge noise was heard. Like an explosion. Jennifer screamed in pain. Adam and Laticia both fell down.
When they stood up, they noticed that Jennifer was unconscious on the floor and there were rocks around her.
"What happened?" Laticia asked.
Adam ran to his wife and started to rub her hands. He tried to wake her up but there was no responses.
Mr Roger and other staffs came running in the room.
"What the hell was that sound?" He shouted as he entered the room.
Mr Roger noticed Adam's wife lying unconscious on the ground. There were pieces of glass and rocks shattered everywhere.
"What happened?" Mr Roger asked with worry.
"It's Crystalina. We told you she is an alien!" Laticia busted out.
"Where is she?" Mr Roger asked.
"I don't know. She attacked Jennifer and then boom, she exploded into small rocks." Laticia explained.
"But how is this possible?" Mr Roger asked.
"Oh stop it both of you!" Adam exclaimed which caused Mr Roger and Laticia to jump with shock.
"We need to take her to the hospital." Adam said as tears fell from his eyes.
He then attempted to lift Jennifer up but he couldn't.
"Why is she so heavy? I never had difficulties to lift her up." Adam said as he kept struggling.
"It happens during pregnancy. She must've gained weight." Laticia said.
"Yeah but not so much that I would no more be able to lift her." Adam replied with worry.
Mr Roger called an ambulance which arrived after 10 minutes. Jennifer was sent to the nearest hospital. Adam and Laticia followed the ambulance in their car.
They waited outside the ward while the doctor was checking on Jennifer. After the check up, the doctor approached Adam.
"Mr Adam, you should take proper care of your wife. Apparently she felt weak due to a heavy load on her tummy. She is six and a half months pregnant and extreme care should be taken at this stage." He explained.
"Yes doctor. How is she now?" Adam asked.
"She is fine but something is strange about her. Her belly is too big. I mean to say, for a 6 month's old child, the womb is usually not that big. And the most surprising thing is that your wife came for checkup two weeks before and her weight was 76.48 kg. However today when I recorded her weight again, she weighed 81.23 kg which is very unusual." The doctor continued.
"But how can this be possible?" Laticia asked with shock.
"Can we see her?" Adam asked.
"Yes follow me." The doctor said as he walked into the ward.
Adam and Laticia followed him quickly but then stopped. As soon as they entered the room, they saw the worst thing that could happen in their life.
Jennifer's womb was now bigger than it was before.
It was huge.
Jennifer was moaning with pain.
"Oh my God. Nurse!" The doctor shouted.
Two nurses came in and after seeing the huge belly of Jennifer, one of them fell unconscious.
"Help me please. It's moving. It is.... it's moving..." Jennifer started panting.
She was losing her breathe as she talked. She was sweating heavily. Adam ran to her and grabbed her hands.
"How did this happen Jennifer? What's happening to you?" He asked with a broken voice.
Jennifer could not reply to his questions. She started to growl with pain.
"Doctor do something!" Laticia shouted.
However, the doctor was so shocked that his whole body felt numb.
Jennifer took a deep breathe.
"The baby.... the baby..." she said.
The doctor quickly ran to her and called the nurse for help.
"I think she is going to deliver. Let's try to see what we can do." The doctor said.
"Jennifer. On the count of three, push as hard as you can." He instructed.
The nurse covered Jennifer using a huge white cloth.
"1....2.....3..." The doctor counted an Jennifer started to push. Adam tried to encourage her.
She screamed louder with pain.
The doctor felt something touching his hands.
"Don't stop pushing Jennifer." He said.
Jennifer gave her best and delivered her baby successfully. The size of her womb decreased. It was no more huge. The doctor held the baby in his hands. It was still very small.
"Oh my God. The umbilical cord is already broken. How come?" He murmured.
He started to rub the baby. The baby had its eyes closed.
Why is its skin so hard?" The doctor said as he kept on rubbing.
"What happened doc?" Laticia asked as she approached to see the baby.
Suddenly, crystals started to form around the baby. The doctor freaked out and his reflex made him drop the baby on the floor. As it fell, a sound of breaking glass was heard. They stood in shock when they saw that the baby had transformed into a figure of a human, but made of crystal.It was still lying on the ground. Jennifer felt weak and couldn't bear the scene anymore so she passed out.
The figure stood up and faced Adam.
"Crystalina..." Adam whispered with shock.
Crystalina stood in front of him in her extraterrestrial form. Her body was like a glass sculpture and inside it, Adam saw his baby....
