The Ellimist's POV

"The one came to me. Thought about the game the Crayak and I were having. He had powers as great as mine, and stuck a deal with me. He left me with time to think I knew he was probably as bad as the Crayak. I knew he wanted something off me, not just what he said. The deal was, he could get Tom back, with his Yeerk, and I could get all the animorphs back. After going to Cassie, I thought this was a good idea, but I knew there was more to it than just Tom back. I knew there was something else.

I decided to let Cassie decide.

I went to her again in one human in that same human day. She wasn't very happy. In fact, she was distraught. The good human Ronnie was comforting her. He was doing a good job. Cassie looked up, sensing something invisible. I decided it was time to stop time-if you know what I mean.

"Cassie," I said.

A friend helped me with this idea. Thanks PrinceAximilli!
