By the time Jordan reached the orphanage, night had fallen. She parked the bike right outside the orphanage and walked into the front hallway and looked around. Remnants of the battle that had taken place only a few days ago were everywhere and Jordan had to hold her breath to keep from crying. She took a deep breath and walked through the orphanage. She passed the kitchen and turned back, seeing something.

Jordan slowly stepped into the kitchen and walked down the rows of tables. In the middle was a dark figure lying on the ground. Jordan crouched down and tried to see through the darkness. She ran to the side wall and turned on a light switch.

The lights slowly flickered on, illuminating the kitchen and allowing Jordan to see who the figure was. She screamed and ran forward when she saw that it was Ali. She hurried to Ali's body and fell down next to her. Ali was staring up at the ceiling with a look of pain on her face; her eyes were empty and glassy. She had a slight smile on her face, as if something had pleased her before she died. Jordan looked down towards Ali's chest and saw that there was a gaping hole in it and there was dark blood around the wound. Ali's blood was also on the ground around her and there were holes burned into it. The normal stages of decomposition had not seemed to have started and Jordan guessed that it had something to do with Ali's alien DNA.

There was the click of a gun behind her and Jordan spun around to see that the entrance to the kitchen was full of soldiers. Colonel Williams was standing in the front, leaning on his cane. He smiled at Jordan as she stared at them in shock.

"I must thank you," The Colonel said, "You have led us straight to Ali. We'll just have to deal with her being dead though; in fact, it couldn't work out better in our favor. We will have the alien child on our side and we get to try our first human cloning." He walked forward and tried to extend a hand toward Jordan but she backed away. "Calm down," he said reassuringly, "We aren't going to hurt you. We want to keep you safe."

"To hell you are, you just want to experiment on me," Jordan shouted.

"No, that isn't it in the slightest. You see, Ali will need a friend when we bring her back," The Colonel replied as one of the soldiers walked up behind the Colonel and crouched down to pick up Ali.

"No!" Jordan shouted and she ran at the soldier. Colonel Williams' cane came into contact with her stomach and she fell backward.

Two more soldiers walked up and attempted to grab Jordan. She jumped back and ran out the other end of the kitchen and hurried down the hallway. She didn't really know where she was going but next thing she knew, she had burst into the Room, a giant empty room where the children of the orphanage used to play in. Now it was a grim scene with blood splattered walls, remains of the children from the first alien attack. Jordan continued running through, intending to get out through one of the dorms. She was in such a hurry that she didn't look where she was going and she tripped over a small object. She turned back to see what it was and saw that it was a small human skeleton.

Suddenly, the soldiers ran into the room and Jordan turned to look at them. She backed away from them quickly until she hit something. She looked over her shoulder slightly to see a giant alien with a large crest on its head.

The alien hissed and charged at the soldiers. They screamed and tried to run back through the doorway but the Queen caught up to them. They let out screams of anguish as the Queen tore them apart.

Jordan stood frozen, watching the alien Queen feast on the dead soldiers and realized that it was a different Queen from the one she had last seen. She remembered the hole in Ali's chest that something had appeared to have forced itself out of; the Queen must have come from her.

After the alien Queen had finished with the soldiers she approached Jordan.Why isn't she attacking? Jordan thought. The Queen hissed and walked closer to Jordan until she was only a few inches away.

Ali…….the time has come………for a new Queen to be born……I keep the egg with……me at all times but now……it is time for…….her to be born. What I……am about to ask……might sound absurd……but I want you to be……the host for the……new Queen. The new Queen……will be like you, have……your memories and your feelings……and will even think……like you.

The Queen hissed and then nudged Jordan with her head before turning and walking out of the Room. Jordan took a deep breath and followed the Queen to the basement. The basement had changed since Jordan had last been there. The new Queen walked over to a throne and climbed into it but Jordan noticed another throne. The other throne was old and unused, the one the former Queen had once inhabited. There were five or six aliens lying around and a few more had just arrived through an air duct at the other side of the basement. They looked up at Jordan as she walked in and one of them hissed. The Queen turned to face them and they quieted down but still stared at Jordan uncertainly.
