The Unholy Queen

Anita was not having the best day. This day her pregnancy was particularly difficult, causing her to feel all sorts of muscle spasms and cramps in her undead body, not to mention the bouts of nausea that were suddenly coming.

This was common, since she was now getting close. Only a little over four more decades and she'd give birth, meaning she was in the final stage of her pregnancy, so it was to be expected.

Even so, she did not give up her duties as a mother, and through great effort and resilience, put her other baby to sleep. Finally, she could get some rest.

Then the ground exploded beneath her, and she froze in fear and shock! Her eyes locked onto her baby's crib, now destroyed, and she saw the most devastating sight a mother could see!

Her baby, who had just gone to sleep, had woken back up. She was in denial. She refused to accept what she was seeing, and for a few seconds, as carnage erupted all around them, her baby stared back at her.
