CRYSTAL AND CURSE: THE BLUE CRYSTAL

Chapter 1: FRIST Child

JIPMER Campus Hospital, 2009

Elena lay in the hospital bed at JIPMER Campus. She was there for her baby's delivery. But the due date came and went. No pain. No sign of the baby. Doctors said it was strange but okay. Elena waited two more months.

Then one night, the pain hit hard. Nurses rushed her to the delivery room. She pushed and cried out. Finally, a baby boy came into the world. The doctor smiled big. "Eleven months! A true medical miracle." Elena was tired but happy. She closed her eyes to rest.

Outside, her husband Bill waited. He paced back and forth, hands shaking. He was nervous, more than normal. The nurse brought the baby to him, wrapped in a blanket. Bill held his son close. His eyes went dark for a second. Then he walked out fast. He went straight to their house basement.

Down there, something strange happened. Bill came back up with not one baby, but five. They were all the same size. Not identical, but close. Each had different faces and tiny features. No one knew how.

Bill drove off to a dark, unknown spot far from the hospital. Trees blocked the road. A girl waited in the shadows. She looked young and scared. Bill held out one baby. "His name is Alpha," he said. He gave the child to her. She took him and ran into the night. Bill drove back quick.

At the hospital entrance, a nurse saw him with four babies. "Sir? How four children?" she asked, eyes wide. Bill stared hard. "Tell no one. Not my wife. Not anyone. I already talked to the doctor." The nurse nodded, too shocked to argue.

Bill slipped into Elena's room. He put the four babies by her side. She woke up slow. Her mouth dropped open. "Four babies? From me?" She looked at them, full of love and shock. "How is this possible?" The doctor came in. "Medical miracle, ma'am. Very rare." Elena believed him. She named them James, Leo, Mark, and David. She never knew about the fifth-Alpha.

One Year Later

Life was good with her four boys. They grew fast and strong. But one morning, Bill was gone. No note. No car. Just vanished. Police searched. Nothing. Elena was broken but tough. She was a trillionaire. Her companies ran transport all over the world. Planes, trucks, ships-everything.

She took her boys to Los Angeles, America. There, she ran her huge business. Brother Lucas helped from afar. But the pain stayed.

Present Day: A.S. School, jipmer campus, puducherry,2022

Schools opened again after the corona pandemic. Kids filled the halls. In the big assembly, Principal Gwen stood tall. She was Elena's sister-strong and kind. She spoke to all the students.

"Welcome back," Gwen said. "We missed you. And one old student returns today. After the pandemic took him away. His name is Alpha."

Whispers spread. Alpha sat in the back. Tall, quiet, with sharp eyes. No one knew his story. No father. No mother-Elena gone too. His step-sister Priya dead. Gwen was his guardian now. His past? A total secret.

Recess came. Bullies spotted him. Big kids led by Brock. They laughed loud. "New meat!" Brock shoved Alpha hard against the wall. "Orphan boy thinks he's tough?" His friends circled, fists ready. They punched for fun. Blood on Alpha's face.

Alpha stood up slow. Something burned inside him. A dark whisper. He wiped the blood. The bullies backed off when the bell rang. But Alpha felt it-the demon king Bron waking up. This was just the start.
