Tabitha: An Animorphs fanfic
Tabitha
It was the middle of the school year and I was the new kid. Great time to move by the way, Mom and Dad. I had recently moved from New York to the country. Or as we said back in NY, the sticks. My Dad decided I needed something new in my life that didn't involve charge cards and pepper spray. 'I needed to be enlightened' he said.
So anyway, I was walking down the hallway of my new high school, having just come out of the principal's office. I was dressed in 'Lita style' as my NY buds said. 'Lita' was my nickname back home, because I am one heck of a gymnast. You know how Lita (WWF, if you didn't know) can do the moonsault? I can do that, but higher. I am a human cat basically. My style was customised clothing, individualistic. That day I was wearing jeans, which I had sewn thin pink ribbon into the belt loops, so the ribbon fluttered around me when I walked and a cute pink halter neck with diamante studs I had sewn on myself in the shape of a flower.
And back to the story. I had my hands full with new books and I was trying to find my new locker. Dammit! I tripped over something and my books went flying! How embarrasing! I thought with shame.
'Here let me help you.' Said a gentle voice. An african-american girl knelt down to help me pick up my books.
'Thanks. This is my first day here and I can't find my locker.' I replied, as we got back up.
'What number is it?' The girl asked.
'Um. Number 13. Weird! That was my number back home!' I said.
'Hey. Your locker's here. Next to mine. My name's Cassie, by the way.' She offered her hand.
'Hi. You can call me Tabitha. Or my nickname, Lita.' I shifted my books to my other arm and we shook hands.
As we shook hands I felt huge surge of energy pass through to my hand. My books fell to the floor and I fainted. I forgot to mention I'm pyschic didn't I?
Cassie
I liked Tabitha straight away. You couldn't help but liking her. She had a cheeky grin, which reminded me of Marco and laughing blue eyes. I liked her dress sense too. I sound like Rachel don't I? It was a cross between Rachel's and mine. Plain but stylish, I'd say.
When we shook hands, it was weird. Tabitha started to shake and then she fainted. In the middle of a crowded school hallway. I got Jake and Marco to carry her to the nurse's office. The nurse told us to go to clas, but I wanted to stay and be sure. The nurse was strict though. 'She'll be fine young lady. Now go to class.' She had said. So I did, but I was still unsure and worried.
Tabitha
When I blacked out I had a vision. By then I was pretty much used to my powers, I have had them since age 5 or so. But this vision was different. It scared me more than any of the others I had had.
There was a huge underground cavern with pools of molten lead, or some other substance, in it. I heard screams of humans as they were forced to have something wriggle into their ears. Then 5 animals burst into this scene. A tiger, gorilla, elephant, wolf and a falcon. They were battling with weird monster alien things when this deer/human thing appeared. It transformed into a horrible huge monster...............
And that was when I woke up, dripping wwith sweat, on a cot in the nurse's office.
