MetamorphoSIS

Part 2 : Vyril

“Alyssia! Alyssia!” A panic voice awakened Alyssia from her sleep. She was fainted and now she had to face her parents, giving them some reasonable made up reasons for why she was that deep in the forest. She tried hard to think of a reason but nothing came to her mind.
“Honey, why were you sleeping in front of the door? Sleep walking? Strange I had never seen you sleep walked before since you were born,” Mrs Cornell asked, kneeling beside her daughter's bed.
“Maybe she got a fever,” Mr Cornell said coming towards her daughter and sit beside his wife.
“No,” Mrs Cornell said showing the thermometer she used on Alyssia awhile ago to Mr Cornell.
“I was in front of the house?” Alyssia puzzled.
“Yes, dad brought you inside. He was shocked seeing you there,”
“But I was in the forest,”
“Forest? What are you talking about, you was sleeping there with your winter suit. Thank God you don't catch a cold.”
“But-”
“Honey, maybe you're just tired. Rest well now. Don't go to school tommorow, you need to rest, I'll call your teacher.”
Mrs Cornell left the room with Mr Cornell after covering her daughter's body with a warm blanket and closed the door very carefully, not wanting to make any lound sound.
When Alyssia felt sure that her parents had left the room, she began to put her mind together. She was puzzled with everything she remembered. To satisfy her curiousity, she rose up from her bed and moving towards her winter coat. She put her right hand into the pocket and searched for an evidence. The egg was there.
Carefully, she took out the egg and put it on her study desk, observing it. It was a shiny pure white egg of a palm size big. Everything had puzzled her and she had no idea what egg was it. Was it a dinosaur egg?
She lay a finger on the egg. The egg tilted. She touched one more time and the egg tilted harder. It wasn't the touching action that caused the egg to tilted. Something inside the egg had cause it to tilt. For few minutes, Alyssia focused on the egg. Her eyes blinked less often, not wanting to miss any crucial moments, until a crack sound from the egg took over all her focus to one spot of the egg. The egg began to tilted harder and harder, and the crack sound became louder. The egg hatched.
To her surprise, a liliputian size human-like girl appear from the inside of the egg, staring at Alyssia with her charming puni eyes. The mini girl stepped nearer to Alyssia, grabbed her pinky finger and smiled.
“Uh.. What are you?” Alyssia asked abruptly, but the liliputian girl seemed didn't understand what she said, she stared at Alyssia with confusion and began to smile again. She jumped around on the table like a 5-year-old kid.
After jumping around, tiredness seemed to make her calmer and she sit down on the table nicely. She put her tiny hands in front of her stomach and her face looked sadened. Alyssia began to understood, she went out to the kitchen and took a slice of bread with her.
When Alyssia came back from the kitchen, she was shocked by what the liliputian girl did. She ate the egg shell as if it was a sugar coated cracker. She ate it happily, producing crunching sound as she bit the egg shell. Alyssia took a small piece of the slice for the girl, small enough for her to swallow. The girl looked very unfamiliar with the bread, but after a minute or two, she took the small piece from Alyssia's hand and ate it. Her face lit up. She liked it.
Alyssia decided to name her. She named her Vyril.
