A loud thump resounded through the house followed by "Ouch." I had been having a nightmare. It involved me being taken by the Yeerks and betraying my friends.

Now I know you probably don't know what a Yeerk is, so I'll tell you. A yeerk is a evil gray slug bent on taking over the world. They crawl into your head, sink into every little crack and crevice, then sift thourgh your memories and take control of your body. Now your probably thinking, Yah evil gray slugs taking over the world,where'd you come from again, the mental institution? I wish I was that would mean that it wasn't real. It is. I'm not joking or lying. Now before you close this or tune me out at least give me a chance.

I'll let my friends tell some as well as me. After all it's not just my story, so there.

My names Jenny. I can't tell you my last name I can't even promise that Jenny's my first name. I've already told you what a yeerk is. They're the reason I can't tell you much about me. If I even give you one little hint they could figure it out, then at best my friends and I would be dead. Yes I would rather be dead than what else they would do. They would make me into a controller,defintly involuntary.

A controller is a person who has been taken by the Yeerks. There are two types of controllers. Involuntary and voluntary. An involuntary controller is someone who is taken agaisnt their will. Sometimes it's because they know to much but most of the time it's because the Yeerks need them. A voluntary , in case you haven't guessed, is someone who lets the Yeerks infest them without a fight. Those kind of people make me sick.

These people I knew, the Animorphs, let me join them after I saw Ax. Ax is an Andalite. Kinda like a centaur, except these centaurs have their eyes on stalks, like a snails, no mouth, and a tail that's like a sycthe. That tail is extremly dangerous. It could have your head on the ground without the rest of your body before you could say, Mommy.

You might wonder how they communicate without a mouth, I mean do they use sign language with their stalk eyes, or write words in the dirt with their hoofs, or maybe they can talk with their minds. If you guessed the last your right. Now their not physic, I mean they can't tell what your thinking if you don't direct what your thinking at them and your not in morph. You literally have to think okay this I want Ax (or other Andalite) to hear. They can't hear you if you just think about them. Wich is kinda cool seeing how if Ax did I probably wouldn't have my head still attached to my shoulder. You see I'm a little sarcastic. As in just about every other word out of my mouth is sarcastic.

Anyway, on to the next person who just happens to be Jake. Now when you think of Jake think serious. I mean he has a little fun with his friends once in a while but to people who don't really no him he seems pretty mature (especially when Marco or me is around). He has broad shoulders, brown hair, and nice eyes. Cassie and him got something going on.

Next is Marco. He's the wise guy in the group and also our security dude. Don't underestimate him under that innocent dumb look he's pretty smart. Not that you need to tell him I said that. He's is also my brother. Dad just didn't know it. Come to think of it we didn't either.
