There was a tense atmosphere in the laboratory room. An appointment was supposed to involve only the doctor and the patient, but the lab was full of strangers she didn't even remember or know. Of course, there was a boy almost her age who was cute with the clumsy way. And someone further away who was the image of personified irritation. He was even handsome and charming.
- Can anyone decide to explain what is happening here? It is certainly not the hospital ward at Small Moutain. - The comment increased the unease in the place when Angel with a smile winked at a very awkward Spike.
Wow, does the kitten have a girlfriend?
The simple question accentuated the discomfort of the unexpected audience and all eyes went to the most distant man leaning against the bench and with his arms crossed. A typical rich man who had a very strange way of dressing, Angel concludes very quickly and with a total lack of interest. God! He looked like the most grumpy of the men on earth. In compensation the guy next to her ...
-Nothing! I just need to collect some blood ... just to be sure ....- Grant did not know what to say and scratched his head very aware of the alien further away and in his bored and tense way.
Angel shrugged with little regard for the doctor, returning her attention to the boy. Maybe he was a new student at school. With any luck, she was in the same class and would need help getting notes and everything. A sensual smile curved the mouth as she faced a more embarrassed Spike. He was definitely charming. A little thin, actually a lot thinner than the tallest guy in the distance.
If he didn't have his face so tied and closed, you could even call attention ... With those muscles ... Oh, forget it! It must be the biggest chicken in town.
The tense atmosphere seemed to have increased with the dry throat that the bound guy let out in frustration, staring at the poor boy.
The doctor sighed uncomfortably, sensing total disaster in front of his patient, rolling his eyes as if seeking divine inspiration.
"Are you sure you're really feeling well?" Grant was doubtful.
Angel looked at him with some curiosity and focused her eyes on the others and turned to face Spike openly.
-Will get a certificate...certificate and waiver if I say no? - The question was accompanied by a new overwhelming smile and she stood up, moving closer to Spike.
He was decidedly very cute in that shy way.
-Really, Angel. I need some more tests and ...
- Are you in the class of the alien-looking teacher? You know, that boring and grumpy old man with the habit of shooting someone with just his eyes ... Monday has math test ... I can help with revising the material. There will be drinks at the pool after hours. New to the school? I've never seen you before ...
The furthest Zorack stared at Angel, appalled. Math test Monday? Was Spike new to the damn school? She had every reason to be furious. Of course, there was. But that ...
-I can provide the freshman party for the novice. - The comment was glacial looking at Spike menacingly. In fact, I will be happy to provide this.
Spike sighed embarrassedly before Angel as if she were a stranger. Everyone knew Zorack's jealous way. What did she intend? Order your coffin?
- Give me a break, Angie. The golden and beautiful guy to die back there is going to kill me. There will be no more math tests. Can believe. The math teacher is really from another world. It created tentacles, claws, and fangs ...
Angel looked at him with satisfaction, laughing more.
-The math teacher was finally abducted ..- Her amusing comment was followed by new laughs. God exists. The guy finally returned to the stars or became a tremendous alien with claws and fangs ... Still the pool ...
-I think we can leave the pool for later. - Grant spoke very seriously, assuming the situation before the complete catastrophe. - I haven't released you yet, young lady. What exactly do you remember?
Angel sighed boredly and rolled her eyes at Spike with charm, blinking her long lashes as she pouted. At this point, a very sulky Edrian drummed his fingers, mentally counting and fighting irritation.
-Ah, no swimming pool? I got a bikini ...
-But absolutely not! Zorack roared, now counting loudly to ten. Patience was ending Angel's taunts flirting unabashedly in front of him. - And no bikinis. Or I guarantee your friend won't live for another birthday.
For the first time, their eyes met. She exhibited absolute annoyance that was commensurate with his irritation. The hands went to the waist giving vent to the annoyance.
- And who asked the opinion of the annoying crown? - She asked Klaus annoyed. - God! It's hot around here! What is this here? Who decided to give the orders and leave us in that miserable heat?
Zorack clenched his fists furiously and Klaus's hand fell on his shoulder, silently asking for calm and trying to avoid an inevitable argument, and looked at Grant determinedly.
-She doesn't seem to remember anything, doctor. Nothing at all. Do you think the amnesia is temporary? "Klaus tried to calm the mood, taking the momentary control there.
Amnesia? Angel shook his head.
-She doesn't remember anything at all! - Scarlet agreed very seriously. - Sereide, don't you think you can help? In the current circumstances ...
-It can do harm ... I don't know if it's advisable ... - Zorack showed serious concern.
-I can't make Angel remember everything like that by magic. I can control emotions and ...
-That means she doesn't even remember about ...
Mercy. What exactly did she not remember?
Angel looked at everyone with more irritation. Hells! She was there. They spoke of her as if she were unable to decide her own life. How absurd!
And at the very least it was the grumpy guy's fault. Of course, she felt very well, except for bruises on her arm and leg. had no idea why it should interest everyone. Apparently, privacy meant nothing to them.
Restlessly, she looked away embarrassed, avoiding noticing the man in strange clothes and his large size. He didn't look like a school student at all, even if he was a senior. Perhaps a veteran ...
- Can someone explain what is happening here? - she was exasperated.
Spike sighed, resigned.
- Taking the story that the planet was invaded by alien ships and that a pandemic killed more than half of humanity? Mercy! She must not even remember that she was waiting ...
"Damn it, Spike!" Klaus snapped. -You can shut the damn mouth! I don't think it's time to talk ...
Angel's eyes widened with tense breathing in unpleasant anticipation. What do you mean: the planet was invaded by alien ships and that a pandemic killed more than half of humanity?
"What the hell! Did everyone go crazy or did I go crazy?"
"She must not even remember that she was waiting ... "What did those people talk about? She had the impression that had landed without a parachute in the middle of a madhouse.
-What are you talking about anyway? Her voice sounded a little more shrill and nervous.
Angel turned to the doctor in an anxious inquiry awaiting a death sentence. had probably contracted a sudden and withering illness. Maybe she was running a fever after all. Perhaps the days were numbered. She shook her head more nervously, trying to imagine when had become so ill before. Perhaps there were fulminating cases of schizophrenia in your family.
-What can you remember, girl? Grant asked again, resigned.
Angel felt her breathing become tense and more difficult. Suddenly was pushing for air to enter the lungs.
-Doctor, what are they talking about anyway? She asked, her nails sinking into her closed palm. - Did I catch any serious illness?
Her nervousness was now so palpable that Zorack counted the features of the most strained face. It was just an act, wasn't it? But of course, it had to be!
-Sereide, a little hand around here ...- He started to speak.
And suddenly everyone was talking again at the same time in terrible confusion.
-Things don't work that easy, Captain. We do not know or we have how to assess how it can affect your state.- Sereide said.
-More than state? - Angel asked the walls.
-Because the girl looks relatively good, Zorack. -Max also noted annoyed. - You know as well as I do that most cold-blooded alien breeds in these situations often nest. Damn it! The girl is a hybrid of K'Aldriants. If the embryonic process of eggs ... damn. They must follow the same pattern of reproduction as the Urodelans and be oviparous ...
-Oh, it's just pregnancy. What female hasn't been there before? "Scarllet grunted angrily." It's not a reason for so much drama.
-Isn't a pregnancy a reason for drama? - The girl shouted lividly. -But who's pregnant? I?!
And Angel's head whirled miserably into the darkness. Nothing they said made any sense. I certainly wasn't in the habit of drinking that much to forget such a thing. Certainly not such a thing.
"I had sex and besides forgetting the damn condom, did I also forget who I had sex with? Seriously?"
- Well, it's not really a pregnancy. Not a pregnancy as humans imagine. She must have made a nest somewhere in those corridors and left the eggs ...- Sereide commented distractedly.
"This is a nightmare. I will wake up anytime. A..."
- Wow! You mean just like the movies? A litter of little aliens that kill and suck blood ... - Spike asked questions in a hurry.
"Two ... You can scream and wake up. Do you want to fucking wake up to the damn nightmare?"
-Is it a joke? But what nest? What do you mean a nest? Since when are babies born in nests?
Angel
Zorack forced the telepathic link between them, capturing her penalized emotional upset. and began to approach, noting very concerned that it was in no way Angel's frame because of jealousy of Klaus.
-Zorack, the girl is going to freak out. - even Klaus spoke penalized.
-We then have to admit the possibility that she could turn into those things again and ...- Grand commented focused on Max's observations.
"Three! I freaked out! I was crazy! Do you want to open a damn hole under my feet? I wanna die! Please!"
The air was now very hard in her lungs when Angel gasped, leaning against the wall, struggling to breathe. Pregnant? What do you mean, pregnant at sixteen?
Shaking hands touched her flat belly in total agony.
"God, I can't ... I can't breathe ..."
Of course, she was by no means pregnant. You certainly don't forget those things, do you?
-Grant, the asthma inhaler ... - Zorack shouted urgently, and before Angel staggered out of balance, he was there, ignoring the jealous look of Klaus and ...
-That's an appeal! The girl will now call attention because ... - Klaus complained jealously and fell silent before the lover's icy gaze.
-Breathe! Slowly! - Zorack ordered decidedly taking the inhaler to her purplish lips, realizing that Angel was suffocating.
She didn't protest, her hands gripping the object over his hands and inhaling with genuine despair. Her heart was beating fast in her chest and in a crazy way out of rhythm.
"God! I went crazy! This is not happening!"
-Sereide, I don't really care about her condition.- Zorack was categorical. He continued with tight muscles: If I have to choose between her life and those things ...
In the instant of unreality that involved Angel, several events were assimilated by her stunned and shocked mind.
If I have to choose between her life and those things ...?
But with what rights did he decide that?
Perhaps that was really the end of the world. It was certainly the end of her world. The difficult years in the orphanage and lonely ones came back with redoubled strength. How would you explain something like that to Ana and her adoptive father? would be lucky to get just a beating this time. The way that crown seemed to give him the right to give his opinion on the situation ...
"I wanna die!"
The veiled threats were dark ghosts who waved smiling. Sixteen years old, pregnant, and single mother! hadn't even managed to finish school. And without a job ...
"God! What am I going to do?"
The hallucinated and terror-filled thought made it more difficult for her to breathe.
"Listen to my voice. Relax and breathe! "And it wasn't easy with the fear that took root within her.
The scorching heat began to penetrate her bones as if it burned in hot oil. Great, to close the disaster of a lifetime, now started hearing voices ...
In the corner of the room, the basket full of papers caught fire and burned without anyone waiting.
-But shit, Angel! - Zorack grunted afflicted and concentrating to neutralize the flames that slowly began to shine in her hands. - Damn! Breathe! Come on, stubborn creature.
From somewhere in her mind lost in darkness and oblivion, distant voices echoed in a dizzying whirlwind.
"What I am? A monster?
It's gonna be okay. Just breathe, Cailin. Come on, obey, girl!"
Angel's body slowly softened in the arms that held her and were supported by a wall of solid, comforting muscles. The eyes were terribly heavy.
It is not good to hear voices, it was only coherent thought to let herself relax without protest.
In the rush of the laboratory, they now looked at each other in silence.
Another perhaps more lethal threat awaited them. No one knew or could assess what the embryonic process of eggs would be like or what the creatures that would hatch would look like.
-But who do I ...? Who is the ... the ...?
The words stopped frozen in the air when Angel looked at me. And finally, she lost consciousness in my arms.
