Six
Adam was brought to Laticia. The latter was sitting in a corner. She was still in fear and had tears in her eyes.
"Hey. Listen!" Adam said as he sat next to her.
"Where were you. You left me alone." She answered with a trembling voice.
"Listen to me first. You were right. If we do not come up with a plan, I will not see my family again." Adam explained.
"So? What have you decided?" Laticia asked.
"To play the game." Adam answered.
Laticia didn't understand. She stared blankly at Adam.
"The plan you told me before, I'm going to execute it. While you were here I was talking to Crystalina. I felt that kind of spell again. Plus, she seems interested in me. She said that she wants me to stay with her. Your plan can work Laticia!" Adam explained.
"Finally! Finally you realised. We can now go home." Laticia said with a smile on her face.
"But, you have to play along. I've observed the queen. She does not seem harmful. We have been here since so many hours and we haven't been hurt yet, not even a bit. So let's try to stay calm. Okay?" Adam said.
"Yeah. By the way I feel like I'm adapted to these creatures now. All they can do is carry us around." Laticia said and let out a laugh.
"Shhh. They'll hear." Adam warned.
They both sat silently. A few moments later, Laticia led out a sigh and turned to Adam.
"Are we gonna sit here forever?" Laticia asked as she raised her eyebrows.
"Shh. I'm thinking." Adam replied.
After a few minutes, Adam stood up.
"Let's go. We should roam around and act like we are loving this place." Adam said.
"And why?" Laticia questioned, with a sign of no interest.
"Just do what I'm saying." Adam answered.
He offered his hand to Laticia. The latter held his hand and got up. They started to walk randomly. After walking a short distance, they reached in front of the throne of Crystalina. She was sitting elegantly on her throne and watched them coming. As she saw Adam, her lips curved into a smile and she immediately stood up.
"Crystalina..." Laticia started.
"Queen!" Crystalina shouted.
"Yeah. I'm sorry. Queen. I agree with whatever you wish, for my brother wants to stay here." Laticia said.
The queen said nothing. She just kept on smiling at Adam.
Adam and Laticia looked at each other and nodded. They both knelt down.
"No! Stand up. Now!" the queen ordered.
Adam and Laticia were surprised by her reaction. They both stood up straight and looked at her. She was indeed divinely beautiful. She walked towards them with grace and her smile did not drop at all. Finally, she was in front of them.
"You do not need to bow down in front of me. You won't live here as my servants, as long as you be kind to me and my troop." She said.
Adam took a step ahead and grabbed the queen's hand. Her hand wasn't soft like other girls on earth. She was literally a glass sculpture, which was worth admiring. Adam kissed her hands. Laticia was totally shocked by her brother's charm.
"Your words are as divine as your character. I bet, you reign with perfection." Adam praised.
Adam's behaviour was very strange to Laticia and the latter wanted to laugh so bad. She realised that her brother was good at flirting.
"Thank you." Crystalina replied as she took her hand away.
"I guess my brother really likes you." Laticia said as she winked.
Crystalina said nothing. She just smiled and turned her face away. She then looked into the eyes of Adam.
"Well I've been noticing him since the first time I met him" said the queen in a seducing voice.
She kept on staring into Adam's eyes. Adam stared at her too, without moving his eyeballs.
"I think our plan is working. If Adam succeeds in enticing her, we'll be able to control her and take her to earth. We'll earn prizes." Laticia thought to herself and left to give them some time alone.
"What if the queen feels uncomfortable in front of me. After all, I'll soon be her sister in law." Laticia thought and left with a wicked smile.
While leaving, Laticia turned back and look at them. They were still in the same position, lost in each other's eyes. She left.

Author's note: Hey readers. As I was writing this part, I remembered the song "extraterrestrial" by Katy Perry and Kanye West and I think it would fit perfectly in this scene. For those who do not know the song, here is it.
