Author's Note: This is an extremely short little fic that I wrote while sitting in my mom's office waiting to leave. It's also my first Animorphs fic so please, bear with me.
Final Thoughts
Now I knew what they meant when they said, "Life isn't fair." I saw it right before my eyes. My little brother sent my little cousin to kill me. No, not me. What I had become. And the scariest part was, I totally agreed with his decision. I would accept death gladly if it meant I didn't have to deal with the taunts of the Yeerk in my head.
"I'm not going down without a fight, human," the Yeerk sneered not even a second after those thoughts entered "my" head. I wasn't surprised. I had been a prisoner in my own body for far too long to even show a hint of shock that he read my mind. Of course he read my mind; he lived in it.
"She'll get you. My brother's smart so I know you're through! For all these years, it was him who has been fighting you, not some Andalite warrior!" I retorted regaining my old self-confidence.
"Ah, but you forget. You'll die." Did he honestly think I cared about death at this point?
"Rachel will die," he said slowly, dragging out each syllable. I bit back my comment. Rachel. No, she couldn't…she couldn't die. Jake would be torn. My aunt, uncle, and cousin would be devastated. Tobias would be heartbroken.
"Don't kill her," I snapped.
The Yeerk gave an unpleasant laugh, "My, my, my…I thought you'd have learned by now for sure, Tommy boy. We don't take commands from our hosts, especially not if they're related to an Animorph. You're related to two." Before I could respond, Rachel (in her bear morph) pounced on me. 'You can do it, Rachel. Don't have mercy, don't--" That's when I saw the screen.
It was only for a second since I didn't have control over my own eyes. But that second was all I needed. I saw Jake's face. He looked determined. Determined to kill the Yeerk inside my head, but at the same time he looked sad, sad that killing the Yeerk within me meant killing me as well. The only other way was to hold me captive for three days so that the Yeerk would be deprived of Kandrona rays, but there wasn't any time for that.
Slowly, I felt a distant pain growing stronger and stronger every second. I was dying. The Yeerk still had complete and utter control of my body.
"Not so great anymore, huh Tom?" I wasn't listening. The Yeerk was shriveling and shrieking in pain, oozing out of my head and I was about to die. I wondered if Jake ever knew how much I loved him. Suddenly, I felt freedom. I could control everything! But I was too weak to try. I saw my own blood spilling about me and I knew it was time to go. I saw Jake, catching his eye, one last time on the screen before I fell into the eternal pit of darkness, 'I love you Jake.'
Please Review!! Should I continue with this fandom or just give it up?
