Chapter 1

Arianna's P.O.V

I watched as Jake ordered Rachel to kill his brother, Tom. He ordered her to kill her own cousin and she did exactly as he said. She attacked. Rachel in her bear morph versus Tom and all his little evil yeerk minions in various other forms.

The Animorphs didn't even know I was here. They had branded me a traitor, saying that I willingly went over to the yeerks. As if. Even though they knew what the yeerks were capable of, they still kicked me out. Ever since then I had watched and followed, waiting for a time when they would need me. A time like now.

I quickly morphed my white tiger morph and joined the battle with Rachel. I caught a glimpse of the other Animorphs on the screen attached to the wall. Shocked, horrified and scared. I turned my attention to the battle at hand, the yeerks were coming at me from all directions and from the sounds of things they were giving Rachel a run for her money.

(Rachel?)

(I'm a little busy at the moment Arianna.)

(The wall is about 4 meters behind you. Keep moving backwards until your against the wall, I'll keep them off your back, when we get there I'll move to your left and cover you the left, you cover the right. If we start going down the door is about 2 meters to your right so you can make a quick escape.) I explained very quickly, trying to keep various animals off of me and Rachel.

(It's not much of a plan but it's all we've got. LET'S DO IT) Rachel responded screaming the last three words out in open thought-speak.

We slowly moved back against the wall and I move to Rachel's left. We fought furiously and soon the numbers had dwindled down to two on two. Rachel and I against Tom and very mean looking polar bear.

(Tom's mine) Rachel growled.

(Okay, I'll take the big guy. I'm here if you need me.)

(Likewise.)

We fought some more until Tom and his polar bear friend had the manners to die. Tom in his snake morph was flattened, literally and the big mean looking polar bear wasn't so mean looking when he was bleeding profusely in several places and missing a limb.

Rachel looked at me, (We did it, thanks Rhi.)

(No problem. I think a victory dance is needed right about now.)

We both stood on our hind legs and put our front paws on each other shoulders and proceeded to do the strangest victory dance, which involved a lot of attempted jumping, roaring and laughing. We finished our short-lived victory dance and Rachel demorphed and started heading back towards the other Animorphs.

(See you around, I guess.)

"Come back with us Arianna"

(It's too soon. Jake still hasn't forgiven me yet, most of them haven't. I don't even know if you have, but I don't blame you guys. I still hate myself for it.)

"I don't hate you for it. It's not your fault. The yeerk did it, you had no control. Come back."

(I'll see you around,) I repeated before walking away.

Okay…that was… I don't know how it was… How was it?? Please pretty please with strawberries on top review. Feel free to tell me its crap…ideas very welcome. I hope someone out there liked it.

The more reviews the more incentive I have to continue…

Love Princess Alexis… xoxo
