Chapter 10

Many questions were asked. And many arguements were fought. But we all knew that my identity had to remain a secret, especially from the Yeerks. I knew that if they ever found out about who I really was, it would put everyone in jeopardy. I saw Rowan in school the following day, she seemed frail, broken. I approached her.

"Hey Rowan, listen I'm sorry about what happened to your brother," I told her.

"Thanks."

"Let's call a truce. I don't want us to be enemies, I have enough as it is."

Rowan laughed. "True. Besides, I'm too depressed to kick your ass."

"You couldn't kick my ass last time," I giggled.

"You were just lucky."

"Yeah right! So you actually met Spider-Girl?"

"Yeah, I did."

"I hear she's pretty cool."

We headed to class together. People stared at us as we passed by, surprised that we were having a casual conversation together. I didn't care. Everything in my life had changed drastically in the past week. Maybe for the better, maybe for the worst. I would have to find out.

This is my gift, my curse. So who exactly am I? I am Stacey Berenson: Animorph and Spider-Girl.
