Story: Secrets
Legal Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Animorphs, they belong to KA. If I did own the Animorphs Rachel would still be alive and the series would still be going!
Summary: Rachel has a secret, but what will she do when the people she usually turns to abandon her. The high rating is for later chapters.
Chapter 2: Marco the Mighty
POV: Marco
I'm jealous.
I'm up in the sky, riding the thermals watching two people my age having a normal life, and I'm jealous.
My name is Marco and I'm and Animorph.
I'm not to sure if it's a gift as Elfangor called it. I think of it as more of a curse. I'm a senior and I can't keep a girl 'cause I'm constantly leaving dates for unexplainable reasons. Anytime I try to do something normal some kind of alien has to go and ruin it. It would be so much easier if I could get a girl that had the same problems as me, but there are only two girls in our group. Cassie is unofficially dating my best bud Jake. And then there is the supermodel warrior queen Rachel, who I happen to be watching right now. No I'm not stalking her or anything. I was just flying around when I spotted her. Xena and Bird-boy. The two of them sitting on the beach watching the sun set.
Like I said I'm jealous. Sure part of me is jealous of Tobias because he got the girl every guy in school drools over. But that's not it. I'm jealous of them because at the moment they didn't have a care in the world. They were just being a happy normal couple. I'm also jealous of them. Sure Cassie and Jake have a special relationship. They are perfect for each other, they're relationship is ideal. But even with all that they don't even begin to compare to Rachel and Tobias. Since we started this war everyone knew they were perfect for each other. We as in the other Animorphs knew it before they did. They danced around they're feeling for each other, but we all knew. Rachel and Tobias are what you call soul mates, and I wish that I could have that. I wish I had someone who was going to be there for me whenever I needed them. Someone who I could comfort, and who would comfort me.
I turned towards my house. There are so many times I wish I could just quit this whole war, but that's not gunna happen. As much as I hate this whole thing, it feels great knowing that you're saving mankind. I'm a hero. I'm not quite like superman, but that's alright. I think I'm more important then him anyway. Superman usually saved Metropolis from evil people, me I save the world from evil slugs and other alien species. Plus I'm not made of steel, a Hork-bajir blade will actually kill me. Therefore in conclusion: if Superman is a superhero then I'm a super-superhero. Yup that's me Marco the Mighty.
I nearly passed my house thinking of names for myself. I looked down into my front yard and saw Jake sitting in my driveway. Hey amigo, what's up? I asked as I flew into my bedroom window. It was kinda dark so I didn't have to worry about some bystander wondering why an Osprey just flew into a house. I demorphed and went downstairs to let Jake in.
"Hey" he said as he came inside. "Your not gunna like this" I dreaded the words that came next. "We have a mission tomorrow."
"I knew we couldn't have a full weekend off. I mean we didn't even have homework to do. So of coarse there's some suicidal mission to go on." I said in an irritated voice.
"I know man I was looking forward to the day off too. I gotta run, we're meeting in Cassie's barn tomorrow at noon. See-ya." And with that he let himself out. I walked upstairs.
"At least I don't have to worry about what's gunna happen on this mission yet" I muttered to myself as I plopped on my bed to play video games for the rest of the night.
