Hey guys its me again! I don't know why all of my first chapters for stories are always short. Well, here's the next chapter! :)
I finally had woken up. The ship had been almost completely destroyed. I was buried under a pile of metal but I eventually dug myself out.
I had been the only Andalite on board, therefore I was all alone on this strange new planet.
How was I going to get back home!?
What planet was I on anyway? I decided to find out.
I had to pry the crushed door open. I stepped out and looked at my Tail-fighter.
Everything was either burnt, crushed, or both.
I turned around to see the area where I had crashed.
It was a rocky, wide open space, filled with jagged rocks sticking up out of the ground.
Just in the distance I could see something burning.
I saw it smash into the ground. Whatever it was, it did not look purposely done.
what was that!? I said in thought speech. I'm going to find out.
It didn't look that far away so I decided to investigate.
I was about half way there when I could tell it was a spacecraft of some kind.
The fire that had engulfed it was now subsiding.
I had to know what it was! I started running towards it.
My curiosity had gotten the best of me again.
I can't help the fact that I am an extremely curious Andalite.
When I was little, my mother would tell me that it was ok to be curious but not to let it overwhelm me.
I was almost there now when I heard someone shouting.
"AHHHHH! HELP! HELP! AHHHHHH!" I heard the voice get louder as I approached the burning spacecraft.
When I reached the burning spacecraft, I saw what it was.
It was a Bug Fighter!
It had only been a few moments since I regained consciousness.
My Bug Fighter was burning and I couldn't get out!
I was held down by a huge metal bar.
"HELP! SOMEONE! ANYONE! HEEEELLLLPPPP!" I screamed, but I knew it was pointless.
I had seen through a tiny melted hole in the wall of the ship, that it was a rocky middle on nowhere!
It was getting harder to breathe, not just because of the fire, but because of the huge metal bar pinning me down.
I could feel the crushing weight of the bar and the heat from the intense flames.
Just when I thought all hope was lost, the door to my Bug Fighter was suddenly pried open!
I couldn't see who or what it was through the smoke but I felt them lift the metal bar off of me.
Who or what ever it was dragged me out of the burning ship and set me down next to a huge rock.
I was coughing violently. I coughed up some blood in the process.
I looked up to see my rescuer. I couldn't believe my eyes.
It was an Andalite! An Andalite had saved me!
"You... you saved me..." I said faintly.
It wasn't until now that I felt a sharp pain in my leg.
I sat up and leaned against the huge rock. The Andalite still remained silent.
Then I saw why. My leg looked almost completely smashed.
I wondered if I could even stand.
I tried to stand but the pain was unbearable. I fell back to the ground.
it looks pretty serious. I finally heard the Andalite say.
I looked up at her. Why had she saved me? Why did she care about my wound? Why did she even care about me?
I can tell you're wondering why I saved you. she said.
"Yeah." I said.
well truth is... I don't know why either. she replied. I'm Tilopid-Mtutopiku-Eciuj by the way.
"I'm Jasmine." I said.
I know you're a yeerk so don't even try faking it. she replied.
"Fine. I'm Salam5150. And can I call you Tilo?"
Tilo? hmmm... has a nice sound to it. ok fine. Tilo said.
I know I'm supposed to hate Andalites but this one was different. She didn't immediately fill with hated when she saw my Bug Fighter, instead, she saved my life. She didn't kill me after she saved me, instead, she looked at my wound.
we'd better find some shelter before dark. who knows what creatures come out here at night. Tilo said as she started to walk away.
"I can't walk. My leg is crushed remember." I replied.
She stopped and turned towards me.
ummmm... oh here. she said. She kicked over a long pointy rock that was sticking out of the ground and handed the flat side to me.
I've seen humans use similar things when they have an injury or they are elderly. I think humans call them canes.
I remembered the way humans used these so called canes and I tried using the rock the same way.
I was able to stand!
now try walking. Tilo instructed.
I walked the same way I'd seen the humans walk with canes and it worked.
I was able to walk! I quickly got used to walking this way.
okay then. now we can go. Tilo said.
"Yup. Lets go." I replied.
And with that, we set off to find shelter...
