Disclaimers: Animorphs belongs to KAA.
A/N: This is obviously not a new idea. I mean, some random person becoming a new Animorph? Even KAA has used this idea xD. It'll do for now.
Chapter 1- The New Girl
Bonnie sighs. "What will I do? Mom and Dad expect me to be a good girl in this school. But why?" She can't help feeling totally rebellious against this whole idea of moving to this town in the middle of nowhere. She feels empty without the raging traffic of New York City flooding her ears.
Bonnie sits outside her new school, leaning against the fence that surrounds the school. The school was real dreary, or maybe that's all in her head. In reality it is much brighter than her plain brick school back in New York, but everything in this town is the color grey for her. All gray and towering. Her family had moved a few days ago and they pretend it is because of her dad's promotion. As if. She had heard her dad repeat over and over how he would never accept a promotion that drove him out of the city he loved. She knew he had only accepted this promotion because of her. She loved trouble and attracted it like flies to deteriorating road kill on the road. Or really, trouble loved her and she was brought to it. That was what teachers at her old school always said about her. Without the graphic comparison. Who cared what teachers said? she thinks to herself. But obviously her parents cared what they said. So they moved, hoping to start out fresh.
The bell rings and Bonnie winces. Another day, another school day, what a bore. No matter what school she happens to be enrolled in, she can't help until the torture is over. She gets up and shakes some dirt off her short, spikey red hair. She is of the willowy tall sort. Her eyes are oulined by the thick black frames of her glasses, which she wears only when meeting people for the first time. She had learned that people tended to leave people with glasses alone more than someone without. That didn't bother her in the least.
Bonnie walks in with the other kids, caught up in crowded hall. When someone pushes her, she pushes back. And sends some poor kid flying, and the people by him sprawling. Oops. Barely contains her grin as she stalks down the hall. She walks into the office, which is empty except for the secretary. Bonnie explains that she is a new student and immediately the secretary turns to face the nearby computer. After a few minutes, she writes something down on a piece of paper and hands it to her.
"Go here, dear." She points down the right hall and begins to give Bonnie directions that she doesn't plan on listening to. At least not right away.
But the secretary catches her black look and quickly calls something out that brings Bonnie back to the office. "Marco, would you do me the favor of escorting this young lady to-"
"Uh, sure." A guy she hadn't noticed when she had entered, now stood and she gives him a quick once-over. Short, Hispanic, dark. She flashes him one of her best smiles without meaning to. She quickly covers it up by turning away.
"Baron, okay, Marco?" He gives the secretary a quick nod as she passes him a green slip. "And there's you're pass." He answers this with another nod and hasty thank you. Then he walks to the door, and looks back to see if she is following. So she does.
They walk the entire way in silence. He doesn't even ask her name. She wonders if maybe she should drop something on purpose, just to see if he would pick it up. But they got to the classroom too soon and she didn't get the chance to.
He motions for her to go in and turns to leave. "Thank you!" It comes out much louder than she had wanted it to, and several students inside the room turn to look at her. She doesn't blush, but she doesn't turn to look at him either. She enters the room.
"Excuse me?" The teacher doesn't even look up. "Excuse me?" When again the teacher doesn't repond Bonnie gets frustrated with the situation. "Hello?! Are you deaf?" This sharp bit of language brought the teacher's head up sharply.
"Excuse me? Who do you think you are to speak in that manner to me? You must be the new student."As soon as the teacher is through she stands, waiting a response.
"I don't know where to sit," she states coldly, annoyed to still be standing there, awkwardly.
"Sit there next to Cassie. Cassie, raise your hand." A black girl with a soft face and no apparent taste for clothes raises her hand. Bonnie takes this to be Cassie. She seems to be surprised by the demand, as if she had no been listening. Which she probably hadn't been, seeing as how the girl next to her was looking lost as well.
Bonnie swishes down the aisle and dumps her bookbag by her seat. She sits down with a plop and pushes a strand of hair behind her ear.
"It's after school. At the barn. Got it?" Cassie finishes saying to the blonde on her other side. Then she moves back to a regular sitting position.
Rachel nods quickly, moving back as well. "Sure. I'll be there."
Bonnie smiles. A bit of excitement. Why not drop by this 'barn'? It wouldn't be that difficult to find out, would it? A farm can't be that hard to find. Wherever they were going she was going to follow.
-LATER-
Bonnie had been planning on asking directions around town, but when she sees the blonde girl walking out of school at two-thirty she knows she can not miss this chance. She hates talking to strangers, anyway. The girl began walking in one direction, looking around several times. She walks for the longest time, and Bonnie is scared that she will see her when she walks through the farmland. Luckly, she doesn't see Bonnie and enters a bright red barn on the far side of the farmland. Bonnie catches her breath before approaching it. Bonnie hides on the side, standing silently, listening to the conversation, hoping to catch something of interest. She had been expecting some party, but this would have to do.
She is listening to the greetings of sevral people when a voice echoes in her head. Something that is heard not by her ears. She jumps and looks around suspiciously.
So? Are you a controller?
"Who are you?" she hisses as she eyes the land around her. There were a couple of large animals in a fenced in area and a large bird perched on a tree.
Jake, I think we have a spy.
She hears footsteps coming out from the barn and she doesn't have time to decide whether or not to run. There is no where to run to. A boy come out, a thick boy, with light brown hair and a serious expression. He comes out with the blonde girl, who, as soon as she sees Bonnie, pins her to the side of the barn, and hold her mouth shut.
"What are you doing?!" Bonnie tries to shout, but because of the hand on her mouth, she can't manage it.
"What do you think you are doing, Controller?" the blonde replies with great vigor, her eyes flashing angrily.
Bonnie gives her a look until the girl releases her mouth.
"Care to explain what a Controller is?" Bonnie's answer is muffled by Rachel's hand, which has loosened but not left.
"Stop pretending!"
And something catches her eye behind the boy. A gorilla. Or, actually a half gorilla. The rest is human.
"HOLY SHIT!" Bonnie screams as she pushes herself into the barn wall as hard as she can. Her eyes are glued to the morphing mass turnign steadily more furry. And to think she had thought this kid was cute.
"Shut up!" The blonde girl slaps her hand against Bonnie's mouth again.
Cassie comes out from behind the barn. Their eyes make contact and Cassie's widen. "Hey! Aren't you that new girl? The one that sits next to me in homeroom?"
The blonde girl looks her over and nods slowly. "Yeah. Maybe they have the Sharing in other places, too. Like wherever this girl came from."
"The Sharing?" Bonnie mutters from behind the girl's hand. Now that Bonnie is denying the fact that she just saw a boy turn into a monkey, she reponds calmly when Rachel loosens her hand again. "What a bunch of crock. Oh, and by the way, who would come if I happened to scream again?" Bonnie waits for Rachel to cover her mouth again.
"You wouldn't- Fuck! She bit me! She bit me! That stupid bitch bit me!"Rachel screeches. She moves back, as Bonnie had planned, but not for long. Soon both Bonnie and Rachel are wrestling with each other on the ground, and just as soon, someone is pulling them apart.
"Rachel! Stop!" the boy cries as he pulls Rachel away from Bonnie. Bonnie is about to get up again and launch herself on 'Rachel', not minding the scratches in the least. The boy holding the gir, turns to the gorilla man and gives him a look at communicates more to him than it does to Bonnie. "Do it."
The gorilla reaches over and pushes Bonnie back down. All the air in her lungs blows out of her mouth. Bonnie struggles, but she is no match for a gorilla. Soon she gives up and just lies on the ground, looking up.
Cassie walks up to Bonnie, kneeling down, checking out her light wounds carefully. "I'm pretty sure she's not a Controller," she whispers to the others.
"How are we going to make sure? We can't lock her up for three days. Unless. . .Can we get Erek over here?" The boy acts like some kind of leader, it seems to Bonnie. She checks him out again, looking for some sign of. . .well, anything.
Or she tries, because a few seconds later, the gorilla taps his fist on her head lightly, knocking her out for quite some time.
