Chapter 2
Hello! This is the second chapter of The Next One. Yes it's a little short but I hope to put chapter three up at the same time, maybe a little later. I promise that chapter three is longer. I'll make it at least 1000 words. How does that sound? Anyway, on with the story, enjoy.

Rachel's POV
I watched Arianna walk off and then returned to Jake, Marco, Ax and Tobias.
"Are you okay?" Tobias asked, human for once.
I smiled, "Exhausted, but other than that I'm fine."
(Rachel, was that Arianna down there with you?)
"Yes Ax that was Arianna."
"And she fought along side you, not against you?" Jake asked sceptically.
"Yeah she did Jake; she's been free for a while now. You should have let her come back. You of all people should know what the yeerks are capable of doing. She had no control. It's not her fault that Cassie's dead. Hating Arianna isn't going to bring Cassie back, I've realised that, now it's your turn."
"But are you sure she's free?" Tobias asked.
"She is. You saw her down there. She fought alongside me. If it wasn't for Arianna, I would be dead and all the yeerks would still be alive, possibly be on their way to find you guys and kill you to. She's free Tobias. She's your sister, you have to forgive her. You can't all keep holding Arianna responsible for something she had not control over."
Everyone was silent. Marco hadn't spoken a word since my return; I think he was still in shock. His little ex-girlfriend was back on the scene, and on our side. Even though that battle was hopefully the last, the sides still remained.
"Did you speak to her at all?" Marco asked.
"Yeah. She was telling em what to do down there. She saved my ass. We had a little bit of a chat on the way back here."
"Did she want to come back?"
"No Tobias. She refused to come with em. She won't come back because you all hate her for something she was forced to do," I replied getting worked up, "I told her to come back with me but she won't because you all blame her for Cassie's death and not the yeerk."
Jake ignored my comment, "Let's get back. It's all over now. We've won."
Did you like it?? Pretty please review.
