Thirteen
"You look beautiful." Adam said as he touched Crystalina's face.
Laticia was still in shock.
"What was that? How did you do this?" She asked, mesmerized.
"It cannot be explained." The queen answered.
"Oh no." Adam whispered.
"What?" Laticia asked.
"Her voice is still the same. The captain will figure out she's something else." Adam explained.
"Yeah. Let's do one thing. Queen. Don't talk in front of them." Laticia suggested.
"What? I'm a queen. I do what I want." Crystalina said arrogantly.
Adam quickly walked towards her and grabbed her arms.
"Please. We are doing this for your own safety. If they even get a little doubt about your true self, they will kill you. I don't want that to happen. I'll be with you okay." Adam explained.
"Fine. But just for you. I trust you." Crystalina said.
"We should get going." Laticia said.
"How do we get on the surface?" Adam asked the queen.
"Come on." She replied as she walked away.
The siblings followed her. She walked towards her throne and stood in front of it. Adam and Laticia stood beside her and waited for her next action. The siblings were no more scared of her now.
"I'll miss this place." The queen talked.
"I will make sure you won't. You will be with me now." Adam said as he held the queen's hand.
Crystalina only smiled at Adam. Suddenly, they felt being pushed upwards. It was the crystal floor beneath their feet. It was moving upwards. After a few seconds they were on the surface.
As soon they were on the surface they saw two huge space crafts. Near the crafts there were the army men and some of the colleagues of the siblings.
"What's that?" The queen asked.
"Shh. Don't talk." Laticia whispered.
Before Crystalina could say anything else, Laticia started to shout.
"We are here! Jake! Captain!" She shouted as she ran towards the spacecraft.
"Let's go." Adam told Crystalina as he held her hand.
Crystalina didn't talk at all. She started at Adam and didn't move.
"Hey, I'm with you. You'll be fine." Adam assured her.
She smiled and then nodded at Adam. They then started to walk towards the spacecraft.
Laticia ran towards Jake and hugged him tightly.
"Woah woah slow there." Jake laughed.
Laticia left him and slapped him on his arm.
"You left us dying here!" She exclaimed.
"I came back with help. Wait where's Adam?" Jake asked as his smile faded away.
"Right behind you." Adam said.
Jake turned back and was happy to see Adam but soon, he was shocked. He saw another girl with Adam, hands in hands.
"Hey. Who is she?" Jake asked.
"Oh yeah. She is Crystalina. We found her here." Adam replied.
"Oh hi. I'm Jake." Jake introduced himself as he struck out his hand for a shake.
However Crystalina didn't answer. She stood still.
"She cannot talk. She is still in a trauma." Adma explained.
"Oh sorry. But don't worry, we'll get you out of here." Jake replied.
"Let's go meet the others." Adam said as he started to walk to captain Roger with Crystalina by his side.
"Wait. If she can't talk, how did you find out her name" Jake asked with suspicion.
"It was....written in her notebook." Adma stammered.
"And where's the notebook?" Jake asked again.
"I don't know. I think we left it somewhere. Lets get out of here now." Adam replied with irritation.
Adam and Crystalina walked away from Jake. Crystalina was really terrified and even if she wanted to speak, her voice wouldn't come out. Every second she thought about what might happen if the humans found her reality. However, Adam was holding her hands tightly, so, she felt a bit comfortable.
"Adam!" Mr Roger shouted.
"Hey captain." Adam answered.
"Who is she?" Mr Roger asked as soon as he noticed the queen.
"Captain. Meet Crystalina. We found her here. She was imprisoned, I don't know for how many years." Adam replied, trying to sound real.
"Oh my. Did you find out anything about those monsters? We managed to kill some of them. I've sent some of my men to collect samples of this planet so that we can investigate more. We'll leave as soon as they're over with the job. It's not safe here." Mr Roger explained.
"I think you have killed all of them. Because when we were trying to escape, the whole place was isolated and we could leave easily." Adam said.
"Hey. Sir. Let's leave now. This place is creepy." Laticia came from nowhere and talked.
As soon as she mentioned about the place being creepy, Crystalina gave her a stern look.
However Laticia was not scared by her. She only smiled.
"Yes. I wanted to have one of those aliens in the lab but they all turned into rocks. That's bizarre." Mr Roger said, showing a sign of disappointment.
"Yeah but we should leave before we face any other kind of danger." Laticia said.
"Yes you are right." Mr Roger said.
"Okay! Everyone back to their vessels. We've found our friends." Mr Roger shouted.
All the astronauts started to move inside their space crafts.
Adam nodded at Crystalina and they started to walk too.
"Adam!" Jake shouted.
He ran to Adam and Crystalina.
"How are you breathing? Where are your helmets!" Jake exclaimed, panting.
His question caught the attention of Mr Roger who immediately came back to Adam, Laticia and Crystalina.
"Yes guys. What happened to you here? How are you breathing? Mr Roger asked.
The siblings were panic-stricken. They didn't thought about all of this. They hadn't prepare any answer for such questions. They couldn't even tell the truth about the queen otherwise they would get into trouble. If the humans find out about the queen, the latter will get back to her real form and will kill all of them with her power. The siblings had to hide her identity at any cost.
"Adam! Where are you lost?" Jake shook him up.
"Uhh... we can tell you all of that in the craft." Laticia intervened.
"Yeah we'll have plenty of time there." Adam said with relief.
"Okay. Let's leave from here." Mr Roger said.
They then walked into the craft. The door of both shuttles closed and they were ready to leave.
