My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode 18-Servent's m******e

Hero had deepened the kiss and I must confess I loved every minute of it until he suddenly pulled away leaving me of course a little disappointed. His eyes were boring into mine and I couldn’t tell why he was staring so intensely at me until he smiled and heaved a sigh of relief, I realized then that he was reading my mind, our Fils had connected during our passionate little time and he had seen through me, kinda embarrassing for him to find out I’ve been fantasizing about this particular little moment we just shared, just when I thought I was gonna die of embarrassment he laughed making it obvious he heard my recent thoughts, I had to pull away from him to put an end to it.

“I’m sorry” He laughed and I frowned upset he had access to all my dirty thoughts.

“I didn’t mean to read your mind” Hero couldn’t stop his laughter, he did a terrible job suppressing it making me more embarrassed and I wanted to walk out of him but he pulled me back into him making us lose stamina and falling, my heart race as our eyes met after I landed on him.

“Why am I feeling this way?” I couldn’t help asking him since apparently he only could answer me at that point.

“I think you know the answer to that, admitting it…is just a little hard” As much as I wanted to deny that, I knew he was right. I stood from him and heaved a heavy sigh.

“I’m still pretty new to this-

“That’s not true” He voiced sitting up next to me

“You’ve loved someone before Claire, so it’s not new to you-

“So you’re saying I love you…is that what you’re trying to say, Hero?” I didn’t know why I was suddenly upset.

“I don’t dare say that Claire, only you could-

“No, I don’t! please, stop getting into my head” I snapped at him and stood heading back into the building only for me to meet bodies of Ghafils littering the ground, I screamed and Hero came rushing to me as I trembled in fear at the sight before me, the floor was stained with Green blood and it terrifies me, but then…my eyes fell on Barb who was carefully walking her way to Hero and me, her normal hand had been modified into a long dagger and it slowly retracted forming her normal hand.

“The spies and traitors have been eliminated” She informed Hero and I slowly turned to Hero because I couldn’t believe what I was seeing, I seriously can’t wrap my head around him thinking that he instigated, massacring the whole palace servants.

“You didn’t do this did you?” I quivered not wanting to hear the answer because I know the truth; I was just too dumb to admit it.

“It had to be done” I laughed hysterically and watched from Hero to Barb unable to stand the shock, I can’t believe he killed all of them.

“I needed a friend Hero, not a killing machine” I spat coldly at him before walking into the midst of Ghafil bodies, the edges of the skirt I wore were stained by their blood and I felt emotionally drained. When I reached my room, I got off my dress and made my way to the bathroom. After getting into silky lingerie I walked to my bed and pull the blanket to my chest. I couldn’t get rid of the images from the earlier scene and it seems to torment me a bit because when I slept, I dreamt about Barb killing those Ghafils again and it woke me up with a start. I felt empty when I woke up to be welcomed by the darkness of the night, I was hungry since I hadn’t had much by lunch and I also slept past dinner, fortunately for me Hero had set up my meal on my little table at the center of the room. I walked up to it and saw the baked honey I loved most out of all the alien food I’d tasted, it made me smile.

Hero was a complicated individual and I just can’t seem to understand him, maybe it’s because I couldn’t get the idea that he used to be a very sweet adorable alien, maybe it’s just because of that and anything he does now feel strange to me. After eating I still feel kinda empty so I decided to watch some movies, another thing I was glad Hero granted me, he made me feel connected to my home with the TV-like structure he brought to my room. I sat on the bean bag watching humans act and thankfully most of it was funny and it made me laugh, I was enjoying the film when I heard my door slid open and my heart raced in my chest as I slowly turn, but thankfully it was Hero. I sighed in relief and walked up to him, he was looking pretty exhausted.

“I can’t sleep” He cussed and I frowned.

“I decided to set up the surveillance camera’s around the palace, I got the idea from your thoughts, so I ordered to have them installed, hoping perhaps if I exhaust myself I would be able to sleep but Barb and I spent hours installing the cameras to every corner of the palace and setting up the security room, I still can’t sleep” Hero complained and I quirked a brow at him in question.

“I can’t sleep thinking you’re mad at me Claire-

“Yeah I’m mad at you” I stated and his face went sombre.

“You killed a lot of Ghafils because most of them were putting an eye on you, that’s just not right Hero” I admonished and Hero’s face drown to form a cute frown I used to like to see on him, he was now looking at me like a 10year old that just got scolded.

“I’m mad at you because you have no respect for life anymore…you kill recklessly and it’s wrong. Maybe you’re a good leader to your people and you improve their economic system as I’ve heard around but they need a compassionate leader too. I know you’ve been through a lot Hero, but I’ve had enough of killings. Hero have you forgotten I went through an apocalypse where 79% of the world population were gone; I watched people die every day…why do you have to make me witness that again?” I knew I was guilt-tripping him but I had to; I couldn’t just sit and watch him kill his people anytime they go against him.

“It was something that had to be done-

“Can you not say that again? They are a billion ways to punish someone which doesn’t involve killing them” I scolded as Hero just watched me lash at him. After 20mins of talking my heart out and insulting him for his ridiculous way of handling things I sighed and he looked really happy that I was done.

“Can I sleep here tonight?” He requested and I narrowed my face at him not sure I want to give him that privilege but his face looked like he’d been through hell so I just shrugged and moved to continue my movie. At first, he walked to the bed but then he walked back to where I was standing like someone that needed attention and it seems to have it after I was tired of him waiting on me.

“What is it this time Hero?” I asked turning to him.

“Can I join you-?

“No, you need some sleep. You look like someone that’s gonna collapse any minute” I replied frankly.

“I can’t bring myself to sleep without you…there with me” Is he f*****g kidding me right now? I groaned and stand from my bean bag going straight to the bed and he smiled joining me afterward, why do I seriously need to come back as Hero’s wife? I wondered again then stiffened as I felt Hero’s arms around me but he seems to enjoy that touch because soon he was asleep leaving me to suffer from the effect of our proximity.
