My name Is Megan. That's all I can tell you. I'd love to tell you where I live, what school I go to. But I can't. If I do, the Yeerks will find me and it will only be a matter of time before we all get caught. Now you're probably thinking "Whoa slow down. What the freak are Yeerks?" Yeerks are a parasitic species that look like slugs. They crawl into your ear and wrap around every crevice of your brain. They take over your body. They decide if you do homework, when you go to sleep, they decide everything. You are just a prisoner in your own mind, watching as the Yeerk captures your family and friends and makes them into Controllers. That's what we call a person who has been taken over by Yeerks. It could be anyone. The store clerk. Your math teacher. Even your sweet grandma. They are everywhere. Now you're probably thinking"Why is there nothing on the news? Who is doing something about it?" Well, to answer your first question, the Yeerks are slowly infiltrating Earth. They do it in secret. They have made hosts of Taxxons, a sort of huge centipede, and Hork-Bajir, an animal with Bird feet, T-Rex heads, and blades growing out of their arms and legs. To answer your second question, a group of kids are trying to stop all of this. 7 kids. Jake, our fearless leader, also my brother. Rachel, my cousin and a warrior goddess in disguise. Cassie, an environmentalist and animal lover. Marco, our own personal jester. Tobias stuck in the body of a hawk. Aximilli-Esgarrouth-Isthil, our local alien. And me. Megan. One night, all of us, except Ax, were walking through an abandoned construction site. There, Ax's big brother landed and told us all about the Yeerks. He also gave us a power to try to stop the invasion. The Power to morph. Now you may have heard Spiderman say this, but this power is our gift, and our curse. With this power we can acquire the DNA of any animal we choose and turn into it. But, if you stay in the morph for over 2 hours you will be trapped in that body forever. That's what happened to Tobias. He is now stuck permanently in the body of a red-tailed hawk. We are the Animorphs. And together, we fight to stop the invasion of Earth. On this particular day, I was soaring over Ax's scoop as a Rough- Legged Hawk, my bird morph. I had a small Cinnabon box in my claws, tied with red string. He was standing in his scoop, watching T.V. Hey Ax-man. I called out in thought speak. Hello, Megan. Nice Day for flying isn't it? He asked, turning all four of his eyes on me. Andalites are sort of our allies. They fight against the Yeerks too. Ax crash landed in the ocean and we rescued him. Hey I brought you something I said as I landed on the ground next to his scoop. I started to dimorph. Feathers turned to skin. My beak softened into a mouth. Red gold hair sprouted from my head. My fierce copper eyes melted into my deep dark blue eyes. I handed the Cinnabon box to Ax. "Here." His eyes lit up. He immediately began to morph to human, which is a disturbingly pretty combo of all of us mixed together. He ripped open the box and scarfed down the whole thing, box and yarn included. "Thank you Megan. Th. Thaaa. Nk. Yuuuu." Andalites don't have mouths, so Ax always made sounds with his. He was fascinated by it. "I just thought that you'd like one, since you haven't had one for so long." I said. Suddenly, Ax kissed me. As in KISSED with tongue and everything. I backed up, surprised. "Ax. Wha-? What did you do that for?" I asked. I have been watching the Young and The Restless. I am young and often restless, and the young men like to kiss attractive young women." He said. I blushed. I was feeling butterflies in my stomach. I had always had some sort of connection with Ax, and the kiss felt right. "Megan. An. I am feeling something in my stomach." Ax informed me, looked at his abdomen. "What is it?" he asked. "Its called love, Ax. It's called love." I told him and drew him into another kiss.
