A/N: Oh dear god... What was I on when I wrote this! DAMNED PLOT!
Chapter 8
"Yeah my Father did, and NO I am not sleeping with him......Thanks. Bye." Erek hung up the phone.and turned around to see Marco laughing. "What's so funny, Marco?"
"Who are you not sleeping with?" Marco asked.
Erek looked confused for a second, "OH! You mean my phone conversation. My friend heard Jake talking in the backround and said that she knew I was sleeping with him." Erek shruged, "I personally like long hair on my lovers."
"Ahh. Okay then." Marco said, getting a little too much information on Erek's preferances. "SO who was on the phone?"
"My friend."
"What's her name?"
"Why should I tell you? You already know her." Erek suddenly snapped.
Marco tilted his head, "I do?"
"Yes, but you 'died' and it nearly killed her."
Marco looked confused, "You know Christina?" She was the only one who would actually die for him, and he knew it. But he knew she would die for Carlos as well. Their friendship was strong, almost unbreakable, and yet.... she herself was fragile.
"YES! Very well, in fact."
"You dated her?"
"......no. She can't get over you, ya' know." Erek said, his holographic face projecting an almost bitter, sad smile. "Besides, it would be usless for me to do so. I'm an andriod, she's human. When she dies, I'll be miserable." He paused, gathering his thoughts, "I met her at your 'funeral'. She hung out with me afterwards, asking me how I knew you. We talked more afterwards. The funniest thing was when she.... nevermind. It's none of your concern what she said to me. All you need to know is she and Carlos are royally pissed at the lot of you." Erek said, almost glaring at them, "I can't BEGIN to tell you how close I'm getting to telling her the truth, so maybe she wouldn't hate your sorry guts as much as she does. You all hurt her, you know."
Ax looked taken a back. He had always liked Christina. In many ways, she remined him of Marco. She was almost bitter in her sarcasim and was also very intelligent. While he doubted Marco's IQ, he knew that she was smart, smarter than most humans in fact. He had enjoyed talking to her when he visited the school. He was stunned by her theories of space, almost wondering if she was a yeerk, they were so close to the truth. But, she wasn't, seeing as how when the sharing was mentioned, she looked at him like he had three heads and clearly stated she was repulsed by the group. He and Tobias had checked out her and her friend, Carlos, for three days, glad to find out they were clean. Ax had also liked Carlos. The youne man had a bitter outlook, much like Christina's. He was shocked to find out that both were, what the other students had said, considered 'outcasts'. Ax thought this was stupidity on their part. Christina and Carlos laughed, saying that they wouldn't want 'those people' as friends. They were content with Jake and the others. A thought struck Ax, as he remembered her obvious disdain for the Sharing and it's members. *Erek, she knows, doesn't she?* He asked. Everyone looked at Ax.
"Ax, don't be silly." Cassie chided. SHE thought that no one knew of the yeerks except for the yeerks, and the Animorphs.
Erek looked down.
*Does she, or does she not know of the invastion?* Ax asked again.
"She knows. She's known sence the beginning. Both of them do. They were waiting to see if you trusted them enough to tell them. At least, she did. Carlos merely said that you all thought that they couldn't be trusted. Apparently, he was right." Erek smirked, almost mockingly. "You'd be surprised how much she knows. More than you do, at least. She's..... They've known about Parasite Eve. They are the ones who warned me about it. I merely hacked into the computers to see if they had started it already." The Animorphs were stunned. "All I say is that you keep away from them." Erek said, menicingly.
"Why?" Rachel asked.
"Because, she's grown to hate you. As has Carlos. Actually, he never really liked you all in the first place." Erek glared at her, "You pushed her away, so she left. I wondered before why she always crawled back to you..... after a while, she stopped crawling. I'm proud of her. She doesn't need your shit, considering if you even TALK to her, she'd gladly take it." With that, Erek whirled around and stalked out of the room. "You can see yourselves out!" He called over his shoulder.
"Bring on the Midol." Marco muttered as he picked himself up and walked out.
