CASSIE

I gasped at what Rachel had just said. I mean I don't like Jessie, but to even think of killing her for a mistake Tobias made? Never. Even if it was a huge mistake.

"Rachel? Why do you think that's what we should do?" Jake asked calmly.

"Because if we don't we'll probably get her to join us. Than she'll probably turn on us like David did. So why deal with all of that? Just kill her. It'll make life easier for all of us." Rachel explained.

"W-what? Y-you want to k-kill me?" Jessie stammered from the corner.

"Relax Jessie. She's just talking nonsense. Nobody's going to hurt you." Jake said gently.

I felt a stab of jealousy, I mean I was pretty sure Jessie liked Jake, which was one of the reasons I didn't like Jessie. I quickly got over the feeling. Jake was just trying to calm Jessie down that's all.

At that exact moment Jessie chose to look up at the rafters. "Ahh! T-that's..." She cried when she saw Tobias.

"That's just Bird-b- oww." Marco cried out as Rachel elbowed him in the ribs.

"Jessie? That's just a red-tailed hawk." I told her as I went over and sat down beside her.

"Yes. It is harmless...les..har-meh-les..sss.." Ax said helpfully.

Jessie stared at Ax, seeming to forget about Tobias, for now at least. "Cassie? Your friends are weird..." She said slowly.

"Hey I resent that. We're not all weird. Take me for example, I'm incredibly cute, not weird." Marco said cheerfully.

"Marco? Shut up." Rachel said with a growl.

"Ohh, but Xena you know it's true." Marco replied.

Rachel and Marco were sitting on the same bale of hay. Big mistake on Marco's behalf. Rachel put her hand on Marco's shoulder and pushed him. Marco fell off of the hay bale and landed on ground.

"Hey! What was that for?" Marco huffed.

"You were asking for it." Rachel said simply.

"Ok enough guys." Jake said in his no-nonsense voice.

"J-jake? C-cassie? That hawk... I saw it as a human.." Jessie said slowly.

"You must have imagined it. It's impossible." Jake said firmly.

Jessie lifted her head up and looked at Jake. "M-maybe I did...I don't know...I guess.." She said.

I nodded. "I'm sure you just imagined it... Jessie you seem awfully tired. Why don't you go inside and rest?" I said gently.

Jessie still seemed shaken, but she stood up. "Ok. I-i'll see you guys later...I guess." She said as she walked towards the barn door.

Once she had left Jake sat down beside me. "Let's hope she bought it." He said slowly as he put his hand on top of mine.

I blushed slightly.

"Bought? I did not know we were sellng..ing..ell...sel anything." Ax said with a confused look on his face.

(Ax-man it's just a figure of speech.) Tobias told him.

Rachel rolled her eyes. "Jake I doubt she bought something that lame. She just imagined it? Yeah right." Rachel said angrily.

"Well we know she can't be a controller." Marco said as he finally got up off the floor.

"What makes you so sure?" I asked him.

"Well acording to Tobias she screamed like crazy. Do you really beleave that she would have screamed and fainted if she was a controller? I mean she would have been screaming 'Andalite! Andalite!" Marco replied like it was the most obvious thing.

(We'd better be extra careful for a while. You know, just to be on the safe side.) Tobias said.

Jake nodded. "Right, that means if you're going to morph than make sure noone's around." Jake said as he looked at Tobias.

"Yeah Tobias. Next time make sure noone's around." Marco sneered.

Rachel was about to say something, but instead she looked at her watch. "Uh-oh. I was surpose to be home an hour ago." She said as she stood up.

"I'll walk you home Rachel. Since I've got to go home myself." Marco said. "Besides you might need someone big and strong to protect you." He added with a grin.

"So instead of big and strong I'm stuck with small and weak?" Rachel asked innocently.

Marco put his hand over his heart and looked hurt. "That hurts. That hurts deep Rachel." He answered.

Jake lifted his hand off of mine and stood up. "I'd better be going to. See you later." He said as he smiled his slow smile.

"Alright. Bye guys." I said.

"I think I am going to go see...eee...se.. if any good..od..goo..od 'These Messages' are own." Ax said brightly.

"Bye!" Marco and Rachel called as they left.

After a minute or so only Tobias and I were still in the barn. "Tobias?" I asked softly.

(What?) Tobias snapped.

"You know it's not your fault Jessie found out right?" I replied.

Tobias was silent for a moment. (Whatever...I'm gonna go find something to eat.) Tobias said. He than speard his wings out and flew off.

JESSIE

I was sitting on the bottom bunk of the bunk bed Cassie and I shared. I didn't beleave Jake at all. I knew I hadn't imagined seeing that boy change to a hawk, and as I thought about it I relized that the guy was a friend of Cassie's. The one who was with..oh what was her name? Oh yeah Rachel.

I stood up and went over to the window. I looked out of the window at the barn. Jake, Rachel, Marco, and some other kid had just left, and were walking towards the driveway. Jake and Rachel laughed at something Marco had said.

"Enjoy yourselve's while you can. Because you won't be laughing when I figure out what your secret is." I mumbled under my breath.


Ooo. What's gonna happing? Right now I have no clue. XD R&R Please.
