I ran at the door, jumping at the last second and throwing my feet forward, slamming it with everything I had. The end result…
Hitting the floor and hurting myself.
I growled, more frustrated than I had ever been and getting up to look at the metal door. It was fairly thin, but… but for some reason, I could barely make a dent!
"GODDAMN FUCKING DOOR!" I screamed, kicking it a few times for good measure. It moved, vibrated in a sense, then went back on its hinges.
"It is not working" came the soft voice from the back corner. I rounded on Ax.
"Don't you think I know that?" I hissed menacingly. He just shrugged, looking like the quitter he was.
"Even if we do get out, where will we go?"
"SOMEWHERE!" I screeched, pounding the door with a fist. I gave it another kick as well, screaming in frustration and sitting on the floor.
"I don't see you trying to get out of here" I muttered. He looked down, seemingly ashamed. Good.
We had just been on a routine recon mission. A stupid little shop that had opened, and I had volunteered to go in. Jake had insisted I not go alone, and told me to take Ax along in case something did go wrong.
Well, something did. It was a trap, and now, neither of us could morph or shift to save ourselves. We were in a stupid metal box about six feet squared, with nothing but small white lights on the ceiling, and little red ones in the corners. And Ax had given up not even an hour into our capture.
"I have half a human hour left before I am… permanently human"
"No shit Sherlock" I muttered, looking up at the door "Why don't you try and knock that door down if you're so worried"
"I do not believe I can do much better than you"
I just stared at him "Your human morph is stronger than me, Ax. You could probably do more damage than I could"
He looked at me "How do you know this for sure?"
"I just do" I growled, barely holding myself back from screaming at him again. It was bad enough I had to get stuck with a human Ax during all this, but now…now he had to go all… all… whatever!
I sighed, letting my head rest against the door, suddenly exhausted.
We'd run over all the possibilities, true, but it didn't mean Ax could just give up like that. And I didn't want to give up on him…
"Where do you thing the others are?" Ax suddenly asked, making me look at him.
"Either they're out there, fighting for us, or…" I trailed off, thinking. Ax cocked his head to the side.
"Or what?"
"Or we've been moved without us even realising it, and they don't know where we are. Either way…" I dug my head in my hands, knowing Ax was right. And I was so tired… tired of fighting…
I looked around, trying to find a good spot to lie down. I don't know why, I just suddenly felt like I needed to lie down. Unfortunately, the only good place was probably Ax's lap.
So I crawled over to Ax, just sitting beside him.
"This sucks"
"What is sucks?"
I snorted, shaking my head and suddenly thinking of how funny it sounded coming out of Ax's mouth.
"Forget it. This is just really bad, all right?"
"Hmm, okay-kay… aye…"
I leaned my head against the wall, closing my eyes and wondering where our friends were. Exhaustion was beginning to weigh me down…
Not like I slept much anyway, being with the Animorphs and that…
Oh what the heck…
I shifted position, then lay down on Ax's lap, making him jump a little.
"What are you doing? Ing?"
I was amazed he still took the time to play with words.
"I'm tired. And your lap is soft"
"You are not thinking of sleeping now, are you?"
"Hey, you're not trying anything to get out of here, so I wont either" I lay there, facing the door.
"Humans are quite strange. Good, but strange"
"And Andalites are lords of the galaxy" I muttered, getting comfortable.
"That is sarcasm, correct?"
I didn't bother to answer him. Instead, I closed my eyes, images flashing behind my eyelids as I did so. Eventually, they stopped, and I began to relax.
I let my mind wander, feeling so calm and wishing I had a blanket or something.
Then I felt my hair moving, and I instantly tensed.
"Your hair… it is very soft. Soft-ah. I enjoy running my human fingers through it. It is… a pleasant experience…"
"Right. Just don't scare me like that, please" I muttered, enjoying the feel of him doing that. It was very soothing. And he was so warm too…
I turned my head on his lap to look up at him, and he looked down at me. It was the first time I really took a good hard look at Ax's human face.
"You're cute Ax"
"My human forms thinks you are quite… attractive… as well"
I just smiled up at him, blushing a little. He smiled a little as well.
Then he did something I would have never seen coming. He leaned down and kissed me.
It was awkward, and just a peck, but still… it shocked me.
I looked up at him as he pulled back, smiling.
"I… I do not…"
"Ax, its all right" I sat up, turning to him. I then grabbed his face in my hands, pressing my lips against his a little more properly.
We kissed awkwardly at first, but then more easily as Ax got the hang of it. His arms went securely around me, pulling me closer. I ended up sitting on his lap, facing him. he began to play with my hair, and I returned the favour, loving the feel of his dark hair through my hands. It was sweet and electric all at once.
I managed to pull my face away from his, reluctantly, and looked at him.
"Now, are we ready to try and get out of here? There's more that I can show you if we do"
Ax just looked at me strangely. It was made funnier by the fact that his hair was all a mess now. I just smiled at him.
"Come on, you're not gonna give up on me so soon now, are you?"
He smiled, shaking his head "No, I don't think I am"
"Great" I pulled him to his feet. Now taller than me, he looked down at me.
"What shall we do then?"
"Slam that door with everything we have, and when we're out, run like all hell"
"Sounds like a good plan" he smoothed my hair back, and I grinned.
"Of course it is. It's my plan!"
Obviously, Ax didn't get the joke.
"All right, lets go"
We turned to the door, backing up as far as we could go, then running forward and slamming our feet into it.
