Chapter 6

"Ahhhhhhhhhh!" I screamed as I woke up from another nightmare. This time, I was in the Yeerk Pool again, only this time, I was being thrust down into the sludge, awaiting the Yeerk that would soon control my brain. I needed to get out. I looked at my watch. Eight in the morning. I scribbled a note saying that I was going to Jake's for breakfast.

I quickly morphed my Red-Tailed Hawk, and flew out my window. I flew until I got to Rachel's house, and looked inside her

window. Not home. I flew toward Tobias' meadow.

Tobias! I called.

Who is it? Tobias answered.

I flew to Tobias' tree. Hey Tob. I was just looking for Rachel, do you

know where she is? I asked.

Yeah. I just got back from the mall with her and Jake. I had

to demorph, they said they'd stay a while longer. Tobias said.

Cool. I was headed to the mall anyway. You wanna come? I asked.

Sure. Why not? he answered.
