FFF Resistance
Cassie
Author's Note: Thanks to my reviewers!
Just to clear something up…one reviewer commented that Jake wouldn't like being ordered around. Don't forget, this all started just after rescuing Tobias's mom, around the time Jake started resenting his leadership. A few books from #49 he was ready to hand it all over to someone else.

FFFR: Fighting for Freedom Resistance. Ally to the Anti-Yeerk Team and the Free Thinkers Resistance. Largest unofficial Yeerk resistance team. That's where I was.
My name is Cassie. I could tell you my last name, but I don't think you'd care. I live in a four-story building, with about twenty basement floors. There are no windows. The walls are all stone, with a Dracon resistant shield around it. It had underground passageways to all of the major yeerk pool entrances, including the mall. It also had a tunnel to a safety zone, seventy miles away, and railway cart-type things to get us there in less then an hour.
Rachel and I had come to the FFFR after leaving the US Official Resistance. She had hated being ordered around. She didn't want to start at the bottom. Personally, I didn't mind that. What did bother me was that the generals, one in particular, didn't care what you thought. They asked us what we knew about the Yeerks and threw us aside. So what if we could morph? We where kids with "no experience" in war.
The FFFR was different. They had ranks, but they weren't as important. The two leaders, Jeremiah Brown and Dave Ellis where open to suggestions. Both had learned about the Yeerks before most of the world, though they hadn't done much about it until just before Visser Three declared open war.
Dave was serious, but he was always pretty soft-spoken and gentle. His son, Matt, was a warrior in training, and his wife Dora was the head nurse. Jeremiah was outgoing and funny. He acted almost as if there was no war at all. I had only seen him lose in temper once, and that was when his daughter Alyssa had gone outside without permission. People rarely left the building. The city was surrounded with Yeerks and people from the Government.
I was sitting on a couch in one of the lounges, reading a book on Spider monkeys. The room was empty, except for a few people reading the newspaper. The fire was slowly burning itself out.
"Hey Cassie," Rachel said, walking into the room.
"Hi." I gave Rachel a funny look. She was acting strange. Sort of stiffer then usual. More edgy.
"I, uh, have to tell you something. Want to go for a walk?" She kept glancing to the door, as if expecting someone to come barging in.
"Sure." I said, jumping up, the spider monkey book forgotten. Rachel practically dragged me into the dimly lit hall.
"It's…. Morph to fly, quick." She started morphing.
When we finished morphing, Rachel led me down a few flights of stairs. Finally, she turned left into a small room. It was lit by a faint blue light. The room was empty. In the corner was something I hadn't seen for a long time.
A miniature Yeerk pool.
Oh no.
That's right. Big oh no.
Did this chapter really suck? Please let me know, but no flames! It's okay if you hated it, just tell me WHY. Once again, I apologize for shortness, but never fear, the next chapter is pretty long.
Disclaimer: Don't own Animorphs or anything that has to do with Animorphs. I do not own the plot however I'd appreciate it if you didn't copy it, because as far as I know I made it up. :)
