Darrax>
I was sitting in the waiting room at the hospital in my human morph awaiting any news on Jason's condition. Everyone glared at David. I've heard the stories of him and the Animorphs, how he betrayed and tried to murder them. Now he was trying to make amends by freeing Stacey from the evil clutches of Visser One. By the way, my name's Darrax Hamee. I'm a Hork-Bajir seer and an Animorph. My mother Toby is a seer as well, but she fell victim to the Yeerks and is now a Controller.
"Would everyone stop staring at me like their trying to burn holes through my head?" David said.
"If only it were possible," Rachel snorted.
"You haven't changed."
"And I don't believe you have either."
"Can we please not argue?" Tobias pleaded. "We should be worrying about Jason right now."
They calmed down but I could still feel the tension between them. I looked out the corner of my eye and saw Stacey run out the door. I found her standing outside crying and put my hand on her shoulder. She spun around and sighed with relief when she noticed it was me.
"Hey," she said and wiped away her tears.
"Are you okay?" I asked.
"I'm just worried about him."
I ran my fingers through her hair. "We all are."
She gazed deeply into my eyes as she drew closer. "I've really missed you."
"I missed you too."
I wrapped my arms around her waist and kissed her. Hork-Bajir don't kiss the way humans do, we don't have lips. Instead we touch the blades on our foreheads together. I found this experience with her very pleasing. Yes, I did love her with all of my Hork-Bajir and human hearts and I would sacrifice myself to protect her. I heard someone cough behind me.
"Cassie!" Stacey pulled away in surprise.
"I came to tell you that Jason is stabilizing and the they'll let him have one visitor an hour."
"Thanks."
I quickly kissed her on the head. "Let's go inside."
She put her arm around my waist as we went back in. The others agreed to let her be the first to see him.
"He's in a slight coma," Jake said, "but at least he's alive."
Stacey went in and sat by his side, taking his hand in hers. I watched as she stroked his hair and softly whispered to him. I heard that the bond between twins is a lot stronger than that of regular siblings.
"I think we should give them some time alone," I suggested.
Everyone agreed and went back to the waiting room.
