My Rebirth as an alien Queen

Episode 26-crash landing on earth

I could still feel the pain in every part of my body as I forced my eyes open, I was in a small chamber with just a bed and a chair which if you asked me looked like a cabin in a train. I slowly raise to my feet and I feel like I was going to collapse as my legs were a jelly under me, forcing my wobbly legs out of the small cabin, I appeared at a tiny hallway that could hardly occupy a single person, I frowned wondering were exactly I was and I get to found out when I appeared at the main part of what looked like a single vessel ship Hero had showed me, I had seen the exterior but I hadn’t seen what the inside looked liked.

I started to look at the arrangement, and like the name implies…a single vessel spaceship, everything inside the ship was designed for a single person except the pilot side which looked like three seat was made in front of the control system, apparently one of them was occupied.

“Barb” I croaked out too weak to speak in my normal voice but thankfully Barb ears could pick sound faster than a normal human so she was quick to respond to me regardless of how weak my voice had sounded.

“Claire, you’re awake?” She questioned standing from the main control chair and I wanted to freak out since no one was piloting the ship.

“Don’t stand, are you trying to get us killed?” I questioned her, hands signalling for her to sit back down.

“You don’t have to worry, it’s on auto pilot…how do you feel?” Barb asked in concern and to be frank, I don’t feel great.

“I don’t feel too well-

“I think the reason your body haven’t recovered fully would be because you have an ailment or you’re pregnant” Barb’s intuition had fear gripping me because I so recall seeing my stomach glowing and the mere imagination of it was starting to creep me out.

“I don’t think that’s possible Barb I mean...I-” I froze getting flashes of my reoccurring mating episodes with Hero, I really didn’t want to think that way.

“It’s not possible” I concluded and moved to sit on what looks like a bench but had traps, there was a small fixed stool in front of it I averted it to avoid bumping into it. With every movement, my joint hurts and I felt like I might collapse anytime soon but before I even dwell on the feeling Barb walked to a part of the ship and pulled down a lid I didn’t notice before, she brought out some packaged food and served them to me in a tray, then pull another lead open to remove a bottle of water which she immediately placed on the stool in front of me.

“Eat something, you need all the strength that you can get” Barb urged and opened up the food intending to feed me. I wanted to protest but I didn’t even have the strength…He started to raise the food to my mouth using what looked like tong but in a fork form.

“I feel really weak Barb” I told her and slowly bent her head to study me.

“Don’t you want the baby?” I felt my heart drop to the deepest part of my stomach on hearing that from her.

“The development of a Ghafil child is slow in the first couple of months and it’s possible that you haven’t noticed but I think you know but you’re unwilling to accept the existence of the child” My heart was beating frantically in my chest and I felt I might faint as Barb continue to slap me with the truth.

“I don’t want it” I admitted ruefully and Barb gave me a pensive look.

“You might probably not have to worry about it, I don’t think the child will survive the molten stone that was passed into your system, and it might be why you’re so weak…your body might be trying to reject the baby as a foreign entity after the infusion. I was supposed to be happy about to be happy by the news but I found myself being depressed instead.

“What are the chances of survival of the child?” I couldn’t help asking, I knew it was cruel wanting to deny the little Ghafil live but I didn’t want to be a mother just yet, I found myself in another scary dilemma.

“20%” Barb calculated and I felt my heart broke.

“If he’s a strong one, I’m certain he’ll scrape through” Barb assured and I weakly nodded trying to get more food in my belly, after I was done eating, I felt another pain erupt from my stomach and I collapsed writhing in pain and agony. I knew Barb wanted to help but I knew she didn’t know what to do as she just stared at me, then the ship started to blink red alert, Barb had to return to the wheels to drive through the space rocks to avoid our ship getting hit but I was so terrified I’ll die again, I couldn’t tell what scares me more…the blaring alarm of the ship or the pain surging through me. I felt like I was being torn from inside out, something was tugging me from the inside the pain was unbearable, I couldn’t take it anymore that I started to scream out.

“We are entering the earth upper atmosphere; we will go invisible now to avoid being spotted by the earth satellite” Barb information wasn’t processed by my brain I’m certain but did heard what she said. My scream got louder until eventually I passed out from the pain.

“Claire, Claire” Barb’s voice and face got more clear annotd I woke up to the tremendous pain that was tearing me inside out again.

“You need to eat, you’re going to get even weaker if you don’t” Barb urged then I turned to my sides, I noticed soon enough that I was back in the tiny room Barb had laid me in.

“I feel pain everywhere” I complained to her feeling hot tears lacing my eyes as the pain continue to escalates.

“I’m sorry…it was my fault for not making you take the test. I knew it was dangerous for people carrying a child to undergo the procedures but I thought you were certain about it, I should have run more tests” Barb blamed herself, I forced a smile amused about how a machine like Barb could express remorse but I wanted to assure her it wasn’t her fault.

“It’s not your fault Barb, it wasn’t you fault…I know you warned me but I was just a little stubborn to notice, I’m sorry I made this journey hard for you-

“I’m a machine Claire, nothing is hard for me…please eat now” Barb took the effort to feed me again and I was glad she did because I couldn’t even lift a finger by how weak I was rendered by the stone in my system.

After Barb successfully stuffed me with food, she left the tiny room and I tried to fall asleep since that way I wouldn’t feel as much pain but action proved impossible. The more I tried the more painful my eyes got, my body was aching everywhere, the agony had me rolling of the little bed in discomfort, nowhere was comfortable and the pain seems to be escalating with every passing second but this time it seems it wanted to release itself from me, screamed as the first wave of energy exploded from me. The ship system started to blink red like that energy had affected it somehow, Barb had to race to my tiny room to see if I was okay.

“Some engines are down, I don’t know how but you seem to caught them off, so some part of the ship are offline at the moment” Barb sounded like she was warning me of the danger of what we were about to face but then I feel another energy building up from me.

“Barb, I think you should leave here” I struggled to say as my body trembled ready to release another wave, Barb heeded to my instructions and left the tiny cabin I was in before I screamed and emitted another wave of pure energy, that had the ship screaming warning! Warning! System offline but it wasn’t over yet, another wave was coming and I felt this was gonna be bigger than the first consecutive ones since it had me trembling and shaking on the floor until I let out another scream as the wave escaped cracking the extra hard glasses of the door to my room and shattering the drinking glasses but the only thing I was thankful for, was that my body was finally okay, no pain anywhere…It was like I was never in pain, it just suddenly die down like it was never die. I sighed and stood from where I laid to move to the small control room and I was shock to see Barb lying dejectedly on the floor and the control room was pitch black just the few reflections of earth’s clear sky from the window.

“Barb!” I screamed but she was motionless and wasn’t moving a single finger. Her arm was too heavy and I could hardly lift it.

“Barb!” I screamed again looking out the window to see our ship falling right into the heavy mass of air, it was definitely going to crash and we were just too high up in the sky. Goddmanit, I’m going to die again! I was freaking out and didn’t know what to do, all the glowing buttons on the ship control panel were out; nothing works. Even Barb wasn’t working, what type of energy shut the damn thing down, I lamented ruefully trying to think of something but I couldn’t, then I got the idea of using my ability to stabilise the ship so we won’t crash land and die but it was harder than I thought.

I stretched out my palm and willed my force to slow the falling ship but it was an heavy object an took a hell of energy that it had me screaming as I eventually slow it down but we still crashed heavily and the moment the ship hit the ground, I lost balance and hit my head against the wall, then passed out…again!
