Visser Three
I woke up, my head still throbbing in pain. I ground as I shakily sat up and rubbed my head. It was still mainly dark in the room, only slivers of light could be seen pouring through the cracks from the pile of rocks.
Where am I? I wondered.
I looked around. To my distaste there seemed to be no way out. And I could not hear the sounds of battles coming from the other side of the cave walls. Which meant that they had either left me or...
I shook my head. I must have gotten hit pretty hard to be thinking such nonsense. They would never leave me! I was Visser Three! And if they had indeed left, they had not realized their mistake.
A groan pulled me from my laments. I looked around quickly, raising my tail incase this noise was a threat. I found the source of the sound. A teenaged human male was lying on the floor a few yards away from where I stood. He slowly sat up and shook his head. He looked around, trying to figure out where exactly he was.
When his eyes fell on me, he jumped and backed into the wall. His eyes were wide in terror and confusion.
I lowered my tail as he obviously thought of me as a threat. But it was only then that I recognized this human. I had seen him at a restaurant
once. Hs brother, Tom, had kindly introduced us, however, he had neglected to shake my hand.
His excuse was something about mashed potatoes.
((Jake?)) I asked kindly, trying not to frighten the poor child. His eyes widened even more and I half-expected him to scream in fear. But he
didn't. Instead, he just sat there and stared at me for a long time before he finally spoke.
"Stay away from me." He said menacingly, climbing to his feet. "I don't feel like being in pain anymore, understand? I just want to go home! I'm hungry, tired and lost and I don't want anyone, especially not you, to talk to or come anywhere near me." He breathed heavily.
I was shocked! He knew who I was, but wasn't afraid of me?
He was talking to me like we both knew each other. Like we were enemies. Then I remembered what had happened the night before. The tiger and I had become unconscious after the cave in. The walls were still sealed, meaning no one could get in or out. The human hated me, and was a little fearful around me. And the tiger was morph-capable. Meaning...
((You.)) I said, all my rage reflecting in that single word. I stepped back, away from the filth. Jake looked up at me in mock surprise.
"Wow. You just figured it out? Jeeze, I knew you were stupid but come on! It doesn't even take Marco that long!" He laughed at me. That got me even madder.
((I wouldn't be laughing if I were you 'Jake'. You're the one at the disadvantage here.)) I smirked. That shut him up. He looked around the cave for a while silent.
"Where's the stream?" He asked. I stood my ground. I wasn't about to fall for some little 'stream' prank.
((I don't know, find it yourself.)) I retorted, thinking about how utterly simple it would be to just snap his neck in half. He sighed tiredly.
"Look, visser, the only way we're going to survive this is if we work together. Now I don't know about Andalites, but humans can last a little less than three days without water. I hear a stream, and it sounds like it's close. So, if you don't want to help me find it, then I'm not showing you where I got my water." He stated proudly. He stood there, dumbfounded. Andalites could only last four days without some kind of water.
((How can I trust you? You're way too calm for the situation.)) I smugly asked. He shrugged.
"That's not exactly the question here, now is it? The real question is, why should I trust you? I'm at the disadvantage here, as you've arrogantly pointed out. I have no clue where we are, how to get back, and I'm pretty much helpless in my natural form. I'm hungry, thirsty, and, since I haven't slept in quite some time, am tired. So, it's your choice if you decide to trust me, but I've already made my decision." He pointed out.
((What decision is that?)) I asked him wearily.
"If we have no food, I get to eat you first." He said. I gasped and he laughed at me. "You should have seen you're face! I was just kidding! God, you are so gullible!" He wheezed.
"I've already decided to trust you, genius, since you're my only chance of surviving." He said. We looked at each other for a few minutes then he clapped his hands together and looked at the once-opened entrance.
"Now, how are we going to get out of this cave?" He asked me, smiling.
A/N: so jake made the first move... will the visser trust him? will they get along? or will they decided its not worth it and just try to kill each other? r&r!!!!
