It's Over
Tobias
I was
flying over a calm meadow with a particularly tasty looking mouse in my sights.
I found the right moment and dove. I pulled my wings back and brought up my
talons. As I swooped down I felt the mouse writhe under my strong bird feet,
until I squeezed. I stopped to eat when Ax came out off the woods looking like
a cross between a centaur, a deer, and a human.
Good
afternoon, Tobias., He said but didn't say. I could here him in my mind
because he was using thought speak. Now that I am trapped in hawk form, mostly,
I can do the same.
Hey Ax., I said while
starting to tear into the mouse. What's up?
Prince Jake has called a meeting
in Cassie's barn and I think it is rather important.
OK,
when?
Now.
All
right lets move.
We made our way twored Cassie's barn I realized that Jake
and the others would still be in school right now. I wondered what could be so
important as to get off school.
I flew in
and took my place as lookout in the rafters. I saw Marco in his usual spot on
the hay bales, Cassie trying to shove a pill down a badger's throght and having
no success, Jake sitting on an empty cage with his head in his hands, and
Rachel pacing, looking real pissed off.
I like
Rachel as in LIKE, and I think she likes me back. I don't see how she would,
she can get a lot and deserves better than me.
"How did
they find out?!" Rachel screamed.
"I don't
know but their coming for us now that they know who we are."
Speaking
of which, there's a bug fighter coming straight for the barn! I said as I
saw the cockroach looking fighter headed for us with one Hork-bajir and two
Taxxons inside.
"Run!" Jake
yelled.
They
started to run and I took flight and flew ahead looking for a hiding spot. I
found a rock cave and told the others in thought speak and demorphed. I went
inside and checked it out as one by one my friends came running into the cave.
"I think we
lost them." Jake panted as he bent over and put his hands on his knees.
"They'll
probably go after our families if they know who we are." I said as I sat
against the wall.
I saw
Rachel give me a pitiful look knowing that I didn't have much of a family to
begin with.
Jake
As we sat
in the cave we heard the bug fighter land outside and the inhabitants get out.
"Battle
morphs! Now!" I yelled as I myself started to morph a tiger.
"Let's do
it!" Rachel, of course.
We ran out
to meet our adversaries when I got the shock that still chills my heart. We
didn't hear a bug fighter land. In front of me was a massive battle ax and I
knew that Visser 1 himself(Esplin 9 4 double 6) would fight this battle too.
Along the ship a door appeared and he stepped out and behind him at least fifty
Hork-bajir.
Kill
them. he said in that calm, evil thought speak voice. Kill them slowly
The battle
was on. I took down two Hork-bajir instantly with my teeth and claws.
Duck
Jake. Came Marco's humorous tone of voice. Then I saw a fist the size of a
caned ham smack the seven foot two hundred pound alien behind me of me about
ten feet in front of me. I saw Rachel
slashing right and left in Hork-bajir morph. All of the sudden Tobias was in
human form screaming he couldn't morph. He stayed past the two-hour limit and
was stuck as human. He had managed to get a Dracon beam out from under a dead
Hork-bajir and was killing the last of the Hork-bajir. Only Visser One was left
and Tobias raised the Dracon beam.
Marco
Tobias pointed the Dracon beam at
Visser One and fired. He dropped it and said, "It's over." He dropped to his
knees and began to cry but no one approached him. He stood up, walked over to
Visser One's body and started to kick it, screaming profanities and asking no
one why this had to happen to him. Not even I could find a joke to say and it
didn't seem the time for one.
"Tobias, stop." Jake said as he
moved next to Rachel who was closest to the poor kid and had silent tears
running down her face.
Tobias turned and started to walk
toward all of us. We all heard the charge and then a hole appeared in his
chest.
Jake
He didn't
even flinch when he was hit. Rachel screamed, "No! Oh God please no!" and the
Visser had his head ripped of by a very pissed gorrila.
Rachel ran
to him covering the hole in his chest which was gushing blood. The Dracon beam
had torn part of his left lung off. He was coughing blood but Rachel didn't
care. She held him saying, "Please Tobias, don't go. Please" Tobias just made
out the words "I love you" before he went limp in her arms and lap. Rachel let
out a wail of despair and tried to wake him up even though she knew he would
never wake again.
3 weeks later
Jake
All of our
families held a private memorial when they found out about the war and how it
was over because of Tobias. His ashes were taken by Rachel and she went to the
ocean alone to say her private good byes.
A/N This happed in
a dream I had where I was Tobias and I woke up feeling very sad so I had to get
it on paper. I know its sad and it sounds corny but that's how the dream went.
Rachel was someone else also but I will not divulge who she is.
