Okay, so here's chapter two. I have no reviewers? –starts crying-

Oh well, anyways, I'll try to update this on a daily basis, so here's chapter two. In this chapter, Lilia finally gets a Yeerk slug in her head and things get interesting. Well, here we go! Oh yeah, I changed this from romance to action/adventure/mystery because when I looked at my plot, there really wasn't any romance in it. This is my first non-romance fic so forgive me if it sucks. I hope it doesn't seem like I rushed through or anything. Oh, and I don't own Animorphs, only my OCs.

Chapter Two : Yeerk

"Lilia, wake up."

I looked up and found Anne staring at me, her dark eyes wide and her face twisted with concern. I rubbed my head and found my hands freezing cold. I smiled weakly at her, the rush of memories flooding back to me. I was at the bakery eating a Cinnabun when everything got weird. People were turning into animals and the drop-dead gorgeous guy had turned into a blue deer-like thing, I recalled. I rubbed my head. "Wh-what happened?" I asked.

"Well…you hit your head," Anne replied. "I thought you'd died! You got so cold!" I chuckled nervously and rubbed the back of my head, wondering what an Andalite was. Maybe it was a slang term that Anne used? Should I ask about it? Yeah, maybe I should…maybe.

"Andalite?" I asked Anne, raising an eyebrow. Her eyes went wide yet again and she got a dark look on her face.

"What do you mean?" she asked, forcing a smile that looked hollow, empty. I frowned.

"You know what I mean, don't play dumb! There was this blue deer, and you called it an Andalite!" I said, making her stand up. I was just now registering the room around me and it was white and extremely high-tech. Almost reminded me of an alien space ship. I narrowed my eyes at Anne. "Where are we? What's going on?"

"Well, Lilia, since you know my secret, I suppose there's no other way, is there?" Anne asked, suddenly not sounding like the sweet Anne who was my best friend. She took my arm in a tight bone-crushing grip and pulled me over to the wall. It separated and we were in a hallway. I tried to wrench out of her grip, but it only tightened and I cried out in pain.

"Anne! That hurts!" I said, trying to pull her hand away. "What's going on? Where are we going?" Who knew sweet little Anne was so…strong? She frowned at me and continued pulling me along.

"Don't worry because soon you won't have to worry about what's going on, and where you're going," Anne replied simply, giving me another hollow smile. I frowned and suddenly I knew something was up, even if I didn't know what. I pulled out of her grasp (finally) and stared at her with wide, frightened eyes as she held some kind of gun up to me that I knew wasn't there before.

"Who are you? What have you done with Anne?" I asked. She shrugged her…no, she shrugged Anne's shoulders carelessly and smiled an evil sadistic smile that made me want to cry.

"Anne, Anne, Anne," she said. "Is that all you say? I am not Anne, I am Cheryk-229871. I am a Yeerk that has infested your human friend." She noticed the fear in my eyes and smiled. "No need to fear. Soon you will have a Yeerk in you as well, and all will be well once more." I turned to run but she fired the gun and instead of a bullet, a red laser shot out and hit the ground where my foot was at just a few moments ago. Anne, no Cheryk-229871, grabbed my arm and pulled me along.

"The Visser will be quite please with me," she said, smiling as she pulled me along. Visser? I tried not to think about anything, not even the fact that I was about to have a Yeerk in my head, whatever that was. Soon, we came to a room that had a large pool in the middle of it. The pool had gray goop in it, and guarding the pool were two menacing-looking alien things that looked like they ate humans for breakfast. I shivered as the forced me down on my knees in front of the pool. "Patience," I hear Cheryk-229871 say.

Suddenly, something was working its way into my ear. I suddenly felt blank and went limp. Then, my arm moved. But I didn't move it. My lips moved, and I began to talk, but I wasn't the one talking. It was as if someone—or something—took over my body. "Greetings, Cheryk-229871," I said, turning to Cheryk-229871. But it wasn't me!

Suddenly, there was a voice in my head. "Puny human," it said. "Pitiful how easy it was for me to take over your body. Just relax, and all will be well."

"Funny," I replied. "I think I've heard that line before."

"Just relax…"

"Over my dead body! I'm never gonna let you take over my body! NEVER!"

Suddenly, I was back in control. Cheryk-229871 hadn't noticed and so she led me down a passageway and I found we were at my school. We entered the school through the janitor's closet and I spotted the gorgeous blonde girl from the bakery. I shot her a pained glance with hopes that she could help me before Cheryk-228871 walked off. That's when the Yeerk started trying to take over.

"Ha ha, pitiful human. Did you honestly think you had the strength to resist me for long?" it asked.

I dropped to my knees and clutched my hammering head, trying to gain control. I felt someone put their arms on my shoulders and I looked up to find the blonde girl kneeling beside me. "Are you okay?" she asked.

"Help…me," I pleaded, trying not to lose control. "The Yeerks…they put something in my head. Anne, she has one, too. Please, help." She frowned.

"Try to keep control," she said.

"Pitiful human…I truly do pity you. Just give up and you'll feel much better."

"Shut UP!!!!"

The Yeerk got quiet and suddenly I felt better. The blonde girl helped me up. "Meet me outside after school, if you're still okay, we'll help you. If you're not…"

"Kill me," I replied.


Okay, another short chapter. Sorry. Please leave reviews, and remember, no flames! I'd really like ideas for what to do when Lilia meets the Animorphs, because I'm stuck. So please review, and once again, sorry for the chapter being so short but my brother wants to use my laptop and he keeps bugging me so I can't write a good enough chapter. I promise chapter three will be better! Sorry if Lilia seems like a Mary-Sue or anything, it wasn't intentional. I tried to make Cheryk-229871's name sound Yeerk-ish so sorry if it's not what you intended. If you have any suggestions of future names for Yeerks, please let me know. And tell me if I screwed up the plot any. Again, this is my first non-romance fic, so sorry...
