Animorphs Tobias

The Connection

Chapter 1

My name is Tobias, I'm one of the Animorphs, with a difference, I'm the one that's stuck as a red tailed hawk, I still have the mind and the soul of a human, but I'm stuck with the body of a hawk. Which is, actually, not that bad, there's a lot of disadvantages that come with being a bird; having to hunt for food, sleeping on a branch of a tree, at night and having to defend my territory there during the day, and being mostly alone. However there are also advantages, no school, free admission to all nearby open-air concerts, excellent sight and hearing, but the best is definitely being able to fly on my own two wings, which other human can do that? hands up.

I'll tell you who, my friends; Jake, Rachel, Cassie, Marco, Melissa and Ax, although Ax isn't exactly human.

But all this is probably very confusing, I'll start from the start, the first night, when I was still human.

Jake, Marco, Cassie, Rachel and I just happened to hook up at the mall. We, didn't really know Melissa then, we were walking back to our homes together, through the abandoned construction site we really, really, shouldn't have been walking through, when an Andalite fighter crashed in front of us, remember before when I said about Ax, who wasn't really human? That's because Ax is an Andalite. An alien. In fact the brother of the Andalite that owned the crashed fighter, Prince Elfangor. Elfangor told us about the Yeerks, the parasetic slugs that control you by tapping into your brain and taking over your mind. They have already enslaved hundreds of races, the Hork-Bajir, The Taxxons, The Gedds, and lots more that we don't know about. Now it's time for the humans. Yes, us.

This story starts with me, hunting for an early dinner, I spotted a rabbit.

I spread my wings, and swooped towards my prey. Now this was quite a large rabbit by prey standards, I usually wouldn't have gone for a rabbit this big, but I was hungry. I needed food. This was food.

Now, I don't want you to be accusing me of cruelty to animals or anything like that. Life is not what you see on the outside; to use a phrase from Marco: "Life is not a Disney film, there is a lot of stuff you don't see, the world of predators and their prey." My world.

I aligned my tail feathers perfectly, bowed my wing tips and dropped down onto the rabbit, it turned its head, but too late, I was on it! Then suddenly; Noooooo!!" A thought speak voice filled my head! What the- I flared my wings and banked hard right. WHAMM!! Straight into a tree.
