Animorphs #57 The Resurrection
Chapter 1: Tobias (deceased)
My name is Tobias. Unlike the others, I can tell you where I live. I live in a meadow. You might think I'm a psychopathic nut. Well, I'm not. I have a mind of a boy, and a body of a hawk. I feed on rats and mice. I also occasionally feed on snakes. Right now, I'm very hungry. I am one with the sky, and I soar with grace.
My friends and I, Jake, Marco, Rachel, Cassie, and me Tobias, have been fighting this alien race called the Yeerks. They can be anyone. Anything. When Elfangor's ship, the StarSword crash landed on Earth, he told us of the ugly parasitic creatures. They have a weakness, though. Their Kandrona Rays. We almost destroyed the Kandrona, killing a lot of Yeerks. They have many allies. The Taxxons, the Gedds, the Hork-Bajir, and lastly the only Andalite, Visser Three. We call the slaves Controllers. Our assistant principal, Chapman, is a Controller. Jake's brother, Tom, is a Controller. Then, the dying Andalite gave us the morphing power. Soon, Visser Three murdered him by morphing into a hideous creature and then ate him alive.
I had learned he was my father. I also visited my mom, Loren. We've been battling the Yeerks for a long time. My friends have longer. I was killed by Visser Three the same way Elfangor died. I accepted my fate, but also saw Jake. I was happy. Being dead, I was happy. Rachel and my friends killed Visser Three. Then, a letter by Elfangor was given to them. I am dead. My father is dead. My mother is depressed. My whole family is in crisis. Good-bye world.
`Chapter 2: Rachel
My name is Rachel. I am saddened by the death of my love, Tobias. I am the most depressed. I had cried a lot at his funeral. I don't cry much. When I read Elfangor's letter, I almost had gone through the roof with Visser Three. I had killed and wanted to kill more. I swear I will kill every evil Yeerk. I was torn. I was ripped. I was sad.
I had gone on with the others on the journey to defeat the Yeerks. I had another friend that was manipulated by the Yeerks. Melissa thought her parents didn't love her. Then she knew why. Chapman had been killed by her because he said he'd rather die, than be a Controller. Her mom had killed the Yeerk inside of her. Melissa was glad.
We were on our way to the mountains. We heard the Yeerks are going to get an atomic bomb to destroy. One mistake, there. We were going to come. Us in our morphs. Probably, they would expect us. They would maybe have Hork-Bajir, or Gedds. Taxxons were released. Okay everybody! Let's do this! I chanted. It was sort of the thing I do. Only I didn't say it with excitement. I said like it was no big deal. Wrong-o. It was very important. And I was treating it like dirt. Too bad. Why are you so down, Rachel? Jake asked. Then he stopped himself. It's because of Tobias, isn't it? He guessed. Yes. I just can't bear life without him anymore. I answered. Then, we both demorphed. Then, I hugged him. He hugged me back. Let's take'em down. I cheered.
