1 Chapter Six

"Rachel! Rachel, where are you going? What happened?" Cassie yelled after me. I ignored her. Though I heard the sound of pounding footsteps following me I still kept running, keeping my eyes on the sidewalk ahead.

My friends followed me calling my name for about five minutes, but eventually they gave up and let me have my space.

Only Tobias, who had been following from the air, could keep up.

Rachel, what's going on? You should be able to talk to us, he said, sounding a little hurt.

"Look, just leave me alone, okay?" I yelled. Then I ran and ran and ran, never one looking back. I didn't stop until I was safely in my room.

Sitting on my bed, I put my chin in my hands and went over everything in my mind.

Animorph or Daughter of the Moon?

First passion or destiny?

Leave my friends for a bunch of strangers?

It should have been no contest. I should have easily been able to choose Animorphs, but I couldn't. What if this really was my destiny? Maybe this was what I was meant to do. Could I run away from that? And this power Maggie had told me about. the power of healing. That would be good, wouldn't it? Another plus- from what I understood the Daughters of the Moon didn't have to keep their powers and fighting a secret. That would mean no more lying to my parents and other friends, no more sneaking out at all hours, no more guilt... these were the pro sides.

But the Animorphs... I couldn't abandon them. It was as simple as that. I just couldn't. But then again...

Whoooosh! Something shot through my window.

"Ahhhh!" I exclaimed. Then I realized it was Tobias.

'Damn, I forgot to shut my window,' I thought.

Jeez, calm down, Rachel. It's just me, Tobias said.

"Sorry, Tobias. I was just surprised. What do you want?"

To know what's wrong. You ran off today without telling us why. We were all really worried.

"You really wanna know?" I asked Tobias.

Yeah, of course I do.

I explained everything to him. Maggie, the Daughters, the Followers, me being a goddess, and my power. I even told him about the possibility of the other Animorphs and I losing memories of each other.

Wow. Now I see why you were so upset. But it's no big question, right? I mean you're staying with the Animorphs," Tobias said.

I chewed on my lip and the tears I'd been fighting for the past hour came down, in the form of one down my left cheek.

"I don't know... I'm so confused. I don't know what to do."

It's okay, Rachel. Whatever you decide, we'l all be behind you. And we would never forget you, no matter what that girl says.

I brushed away my one tear. "Thanks, Tobias."

Any time. You know you can always talk to me.Well, bye Rachel.

"Bye," I whispered. He flew away.

I paced around my room for at least 15 minutes, going through all the pluses and mines of each group. Finally, I made a decision.

I looked up a number in the phone book, picked up my phone, and dialed. A male voice answered. "Killingsworth residence."

In a shaky voice I said, "Hello? Is Serena there?"
