Cold. I felt extremely cold. I didn't feel cold as in physically cold,
I felt mentally cold. Like I had done something extremely wrong,
like I had had someone killed... I felt as though I had killed my best
friend.
But no! It wasn't me! Marco had pushed me into it! He told me it was
for the best, that if we went with Cassie, then we'd die. And as a fool,
I believed him.
Something shook me. I snapped my eyes open. Tobias? What was Tobias...
Then I remembered. I had gone with Tobias, and we had stopped to rest.
It was all coming back to me.
"Tobias." I whispered, "You're human."
"I morphed, I thought if I tried to wake you up as a hawk it'd frighten
you."
"You've forgotten, I never get frightened."
He laughed a solemn laugh, like he didn't believe me.
"OK, let's get back into the air. It'll be about thirty minutes before
we get there."
"Where exactly are we going?"
"Somewhere."
"What?"
Tobias ignored me, and started morphing. If he thought I hadn't noticed
the way he was acting, then he surely had to get to know me better.
In ten minutes we were back in the sky. Flying towards a certain doom
I knew not about.
Okay, down there.> Tobias said, filling the silence. We hadn't
talked all the time.
He cocked his 'nose' down and spilled air from his wings, I followed
similarly.
So what exactly were you doing back there?> I asked
as we dove.
Just flying.>
Just flying? What, you like to fly so far?>
Uh-huh.>
Right. Like I was supposed to believe that.
He flared his wings and protruded his talons and... he had grabbed
onto a branch of a tree.
I tried the same thing, but wasn't so easy, I almost missed the branch
and landed on a porcupine.
Luckily, I changed the direction of my tail quickly and was airborne
in a second, then I changed my angle and I had the branch.
Cool > Tobias said.
Thanks.>
So, how do we meet the people you were living with?>
In a second.>
We waited a whole more than a second, and just when I was going to
mention something about nothlits and patience I heard a crinkling sound,
like someone - or something - walking on leaves, luckily we were perched
safely on a tree.
Suddenly someone appeared out of nowhere.
He had a tan, like Marco's ( Even though we all know Marco aint
got a tan, it's his natural color - even though he denies it so -), he
was tall and thin.. and he was naked actually not naked, he was
wearing a very fashinable leave around his crotch.
"You return, prince Tobias."
Prince Tobias?
Yes. Essfon Four Five Seven.>
Now that sounded like a Yeerk name... didn't it?
"Was... was it succesfull?"
Tobias didn't answer, but "Essfon Four Five Seven" looked pretty happy
after a little silence. Obviously Tobias had talked to Essfon in private
thought speak. Tobias was hiding something. From me.
C'mon, Rachel, demorph. Then we'll morph wolf and go to the headquaters.>
A/N: Ohmylordylord. PixiSquirell is going to be so mad, I promised
I'd leave no cliffhangers... but I just couldn't help it! I'll write chapter
two soon.
