TOBIAS
No one spoke for a long time, and the only sound was Alanna humming something I wasn't sure I recognized.
(It's time for a final vote, I guess,) Jake said, breaking the silence. (So guys, do we do this?)
(Let's do it,) Rachel said at once.
(I don't think-)
(Everyone votes, Ax.)
(Then I think that there are too many risks involved in trusting her. I- I believe your judgement may perhaps be clouded because you know her as a human.)
(That's ridiculous, Ax,) Rachel said haughtily. (We deal with Controllers every day.)
He shrugged, a human gesture. (Just a thought. But that is still my vote.)
(I'm with Ax,) I said before I could stop myself. Sure, Alanna was pretty, but I couldn't bring myself to trust her. She knew too much about us, and we knew nothing about her. I had followed her for the past week and she saw me every time, I know it. She laughed at me, she mocked me, letting me watch her for a while and then-
I wondered if she knew Taylor. Had they ever tortured Andalites together? Two pretty girls, giggling as their victim begs for mercy…
I shuddered. Ax was probably right- the others were too close to this to see straight. They had been close friends with her for what? Two, three months?
It's hard to turn your back on someone who's been a close friend. It's hard to imagine someone you think you know doing things that…
I found myself looking at Rachel, thinking about the past battles, the recklessness.
(I- I think we can trust her,) Cassie said. (She really does seem to hate Visser Three and I think she will follow by her word.)
(But what about after we kill the Visser? How are we supposed to get off the Blade Ship?)
That came, surprisingly, from Marco. I wouldn't have thought he would've doubted the girl he almost dated.
Not to mention the girl who asked him to a dance.
(Just a thought,) he said innocently as we all stared at him. (Sure she may help us kill Visser Three, but will she help us escape?)
It was not a good thought, and I was glad of my decision. If Marco was on our side, and Jake wouldn't allow a tie vote and we could all just turn our backs and-
(I say we go for it,) he added, totally blowing my little image of me and Rachel alone, safe and sound.
(You sure, Marco?) Jake asked.
(Dude, if she can give us that son a bitch…)
(Okay,) Jake said to Alanna. (We'll play.)
She smiled, cocking her head to the side. "I need you to morph something small- do you want me to close my eyes while you do it?"
The way she said it scared me. She couldn't possibly know-
Of course not. Of course not.
I hoped.
