Animorphs: the next episode
"Do it now Seth do it!" he screamed through his half human mouth. I
hesitated, "don't think Seth do it you'll know you did the right thing just
do it!" his voice shrilled harder and his eyes seemed to tear. "I will be
truly happy Seth just do what is right dooo what you think should
be…" his voice slurred and his amphibious mouth swelled up. I
looked at my hand; it was a claw, black and harsh. I moved it forward
and felt it penetrates his soft flesh, he made the best smile he could
in his condition and I knew he had gone to a better place.
I sprung up from the sheets. I was drenched in sweat; it hung in
beads on my forehead. The baseboard of my single bead thumped.
"Shut up and get some sleep midget!" Tom yelled from down the hall.
I checked the clock it was 4:30 in the mourning. I lay awake for an
hour or two recalling my dream, what had happened to him? The
dream that haunted me so vividly had escaped my mind so I left it as
started. I heard the creek of the bottom floor it was about 5:00. Tom
had left, probably off to some sharing meeting. Tom always ran off to
sharing meetings. I wanted to see what was so urgent that Tom had
to run-off with the risk being caught at 5 o'clock. The eyes came first;
they usually did since I wanted to be able to have a Falcons sight.
Suddenly my room was a colony. I could see bits of dust flying off my
dresser drawers I could see small dirt patches on my jeans, which
had been made by a surprise landing by Tobias on my windowsill. My
legs turned into hard yellow talons. Two saplings of wings came out
of my back and grew to harsh falcon trees, SHLOOP! My arms
scrunched tightly into my torso. You see Morphing is unpredictable
some times your arms could turn into wings or any other weird chain
of events. An Alien, an Andilite to be precise, gave we. He gave us
the power to change into any thing we touch, but it's not all fun and
games. For 1. We use it to fight the Yeerks a Parasitic species that
takes control of your mind, thieve already infested the Hork-bajir
Geed and Taxxons, and want to add humans to there trophy case.
My brother Tom is a yeerk controller. Number 2. If you stay in morph
for over 2 hours you stuck in a form andilite call nothilts. Tobias is
stuck in Hawk morph and he shows us the side effects of morphing
big time. KWIIK! My heart grew tiny and started beating faster, like a
tired guy suddenly drinking some Joe. My bones grew hollow and
stretched throughout my newly formed wings. I suddenly fell on my
comfy mattress. The morph was finished and I was heading toward
my window. I latched my talon on my window latch and gave it a tug.
Squeaked open and I flew out into the night.
Chapter 2
My Falcon eyes scanned the suburbia. White houses on a black sky.
Falcon wasn't the best choice owl might have been better, but the
sun was about to rise so maybe being temporarily blind in the dark
wasn't much of a downside. Tom had just shut the door with a bang,
even though he had been silent my Falcon ears picked it up like a
Rock band blaring out of an amp. He streaked around the first corner
left of my house and headed toward the local park, which was a half a
block away. I secured my talons on a whether vein which had a good
view of the park. I could see Tom better now, as some sun broke past
the foothills at the outskirts of my town. He looked nervous but cool in
a way he looked all around him to see if anyone was coming then got
a little bit reassured. He looked at his watch and noticed the time and
even though his human self knew no one would be out at this UN-
holy hour. But Tom was a controller so his yeerk self kept a watch
around the area. VRUMM! A sound going through my hawk ear hole
caught my attention. Tom didn't seem to notice. The noise got bigger
and as it was about a block away Tom seemed to notice it too. He
outstretched his neck and looked around the bend. Sure enough as it
came speeding around the corner I noticed it. Visser threes personal
limousine. Visser three was one of the high commanders on the
yeerk invasion of earth. He also is the only Yeerk to infest the body of
an andilite, which means he can morph too. He is our worst enemy
and if we hadn't had him in the way Elfangor the Alien that gave us
the morphing power would be alive and earth would already been
ours. The limo screeched to a halt and drove away once it picked up
Tom. I flew after it but rode high in the thermals to not look too
suspicious. Visser three turned many suburban corners I had only
flown over, but he didn't stay in suburbia forever. He went into the city
and in the city most of the Yeerk pool entrances where unknown to
us. He drove past the mall and I landed on the mall's roof. I quickly
demorphed and then went Eagle. Eagle it not much different than
Falcon except your vision. Eagles can see through water and
anything with a lot of glare. As I was almost fully Eagle my eyes
hardened a little and my vision was sharp and blurry in a way. I
hoped off the mall roof and spread out my large Eagle wings and
soared over the asphalt. I caught a thermal and flew left of the limo.
Visser three in Human morph talked to Tom and at first Tom looked a
little worried but then he pressed a grin across his face. They parked
in a YMCA parking lot. I landed on a bank building next to it.
SPROOT! My beak shriveled into my human nose and my distantly
familiar mouth formed. For a moment I was unable to breathe, but as
my human mouth and lungs formed I took in bigger breaths than I
had in Eagle morph. The tips of my wings thinned and turned into
fingers. My human self was now shown. Except I hadn't worn my
Morphing suit to sleep. I had worn a pair of cotton boxers and I was
now shivering in the cold. The bank's clock read 8:30 when they
finally emerged from the Yeerk Pool. The sun had almost risen and
people where now coming out side. I went Eagle and flew above the
limo as the visser was entering the passenger seat of the car. He
suddenly peered up at the sky "ANDILITE!" he hissed. TSEEW! I red
hot blast caught my in the right wing, as I began to fall to the
pavement. HONK HONK! A cars horned stung my ear. BANG! I was
hit and suddenly I was gone.
Chapter 3-Seth
BANG BANG BANG! Tim pounded on the metal door. "Tim its ok
relax" I said. "No Seth I'm not relaxing there in there and there dying
and were not doing anything!" Tim's voice echoed in the metal room.
He pressed his hands against his forehead and brushed back his
blond spikes. "Tim you have to get a grip!" I shouted. "Get a grip?" he
asked and faced me. His face turned red and he cringed at me. "My
friends are being slaughtered and you aren't even worried come on
Seth you're girl friend the love of you life is right now bleeding through
her skin or has a space slug I her brain, but no Seth all fearless
leader isn't worried he doesn't break a sweat oh the died Obladee
obla DA life goes on!" his hands turned into fists. "My parents are
both yeerks my entire family Seth, think about it you come home from
school they say hi and give you a hung and a kiss but every second
of that supposed bliss is really fake can you think of that? I would
take it all back if I had a chance Seth and really the only reason I'm
still here is you guys. You are my only family and know you my own
brother is going to deny me of that say that this part of my family is
going to die from not the yeerks Seth not any type of Hork-bajir but by
us by us not wanting to risk ourselves, I have nothing to loose nothing
I would miss from this life but, if I live I will be lonely I would die a
happy man if I knew I saved you all. If I knew I had saved the only
friends or family I ever had" He breathed a short breath through his
nose keeping his eyes on me. His eyes they weren't. They were of a
cat, a Puma's. He slunked to the floor, and his shoulders grew burly.
He smiled a full toothed smile. His feet turned to paws and his body
turned completely brown. A tail slithered out of his back like a snake.
"It doesn't have to happen this way Tim"
"Oh but, it does Seth it does"
"Do it now Seth do it!" he screamed through his half human mouth. I
hesitated, "don't think Seth do it you'll know you did the right thing just
do it!" his voice shrilled harder and his eyes seemed to tear. "I will be
