CHAPTER 11: Inside The Yeerk Pool
Ax
A short moment later Ana returned. "It will probably take about three hours at the most," she said. "I can show you around if you want."
"Yes, but do not proceed yet," Prince Jake said. "We will be right back."
Cassie stayed while Prince Jake and I left them, walking into a dark crevice where Tobias, and Rachel ejected from our ears and demorphed. We waited once more as the morphed once more and returned to their positions.
We came back and watched Ana as Cassie left, doing the same. When she came back, And showed us around until we reached the cafeteria, where she sat.
"Want anything to eat?" Ana asked.
Prince Jake shook his head. "No thanks."
She stood up and walked to a counter. "Liem grapsh fit un yo sithsu gu kualum rt," she said to a human that was working behind. He nodded and handed her a type of human food called yogurt.
She sat back down and we all stared at her.
"Since when did you speak Galard?" I asked.
"Oh," she smiled. "Aurana's teaching me. It's a cool language, something I like to learn much better than Spanish."
Cassie checked her watch. "It's been twenty minutes so far." Her eyes flashed up to Ana. "Of your minutes."
Ana shook her head. "Hey just to let you know, they're your minutes too."
After sitting around for about an hour and a half we all stood up and told Ana we'd be right back. Standing up we found a concealed place, darkened by shadows. We got rid of our 'Yeerks' and I, Rachel, Tobias, and Marco demorphed.
"I'm hungry," was the first thing Marco said.
"Well there's some nice Kandrona Rays right over there for you, Marco. Just drag your slimy little body over there and wallah! Instant food."
"Ha ha ha. Not funny."
Tobias looked at me. How long was this supposed to last, Ax?
Three hours at the most of your time.
"Alright," Prince Jake said. "We hang out here for about twenty minutes, then go back to morphing. By then it should only be about half an hour before Aur needs to return to Ana, and we could all go home. Who wants to be on watch tonight? Marco?"
"I didn't say I wanted to be on watch," Marco muttered. "But seeing as Rachel, Cassie, Tobias, and Ax have already done this and you have your brother around to watch your every move, I guess I have no choice."
"Ah, grasshopper, you have learned well."
Marco stared at Prince Jake. "Jake, dude, you have got to get out more."
They all laughed, but I, unaware of this form of humor, illusorily looked at the pool.
"Ax. Ax!"
With a jolt I broke away from my thoughts. "Yes, Prince Jake?"
"Time to morph."
"Yes, Prince Jake."
We did so and each let enter our 'Yeerks' into our minds. I did not feel comfortable with the situation that Prince Jake had come up with, but there was no other way to be able to go in and out of the Yeerk pool.
We met up with Ana again. We talked. Time seemed to first pass by slowly. Then, before we knew it, it was time for Ana's reinfestation.
I disliked the word almost immediately, although it was the proper name. Somehow, it did not seem to fit. Be that as it may, a minute later Aurana came back.
"Feel better?" I asked.
"Much," she smiled. "Let us leave this place."
