Chapter 1
My name is Rachel.
I was in a bit of a situation. My cousin, Jake, sent me to destroy the Blade Ship and all of the morph-capable human-Controllers on board. This was the last and most important step to ending the war on earth. The only problem was that I was outnumbered six to one.
The Controller Tom, my cousin and Jake's brother, was the ringleader of these six Controllers. He ordered them to attack me. But fighting is what I do best. The polar bear Controller ran at me, teeth bared. But I was too experienced in the grizzly morph to be beaten by an inferior polar bear.
I clamped my teeth around his neck. He growled in pain. He was bleeding. Badly. He was forced to demorph and than remorph again. But he would be helpless in the demorphing process. That's when I would strike.
And strike I did. I took care of all of the Controllers. The last one was Tom. By this point I was bleeding heavily and could barely stand. I mustered up the last of my strength and grabbed the snake Tom and bit down on him hard. Then everything went black.
The next thing I knew I was on the ship with Cassie, Jake, Marco, and Tobias. Somehow, after I had blacked out, Tobias came in a smaller ship to rescue me from the Blade Ship. He got me to demorph back to human and took me aboard this new ship. Finally, after so long, the war was ending.
Tobias took me aside while Jake was giving orders to the others. He looked very serious. "Rachel," he said. "The war is ending. Soon I'll be able to morph to human and will stay human forever. We won't have to worry about the Yeerks, or anything for that matter. I know that the only thing I want is to be with you. I know we are young, but really, after this war, can we be considered kids anymore? I guess what I'm trying to say is, will you marry me?"
What could I have possibly said other than "Yes, of course."
20 Years Later
"Selenity!" Rachel called her 15-year-old daughter down into the kitchen. "Selenity! Your father and I have something to talk to you about."
Selenity walked down the stairs and into the kitchen. She pulled up a chair at the table and looked expectantly at both of her parents.
"Selenity," began Tobias, her father, "your mother and I have been talking. I was just offered a great job. The only problem is, it's in England."
"Honey, what your father is trying to say is, we're moving to England. There is a great school for witchcraft and wizardry over there called Hogwarts. We've contacted the Headmistress over there, and she said that they would welcome you into the school."
Selenity, who had kept quiet throughout her parents' speech, finally spoke. "Oh." She paused, then said, "Sounds ok. I'm going to go outside now."
