Disclaimer: I do not own any obvious characters, they belong to KA Applegate and Scholastic, inc. Tamitha and the basic plotline do.

Warning: I recommend reading the first book in this trilogy, The Surprise; otherwise you could be very lost.

Chapter 6

~*~*~*~*~

"Aaahhhh!" was the sound that woke me up the next morning. I stood straight up on my perch and flew down to where Tamitha was having a bad dream.

Tamitha! Wake up!

"Wha- wha- oh," she woke up, frantic, but immediately calmed down, "what time is it Tobias?"

It is 2:45 in the morning, Ax said, Are you all right Tamitha?

"Yeah, I just had a bad dream, sorry to wake you."

There is no way that it was just a 'bad dream' you were projecting images into my head that looked pretty bad, not to mention unsettling.

"Sorry about that, I didn't realize I was doing that, or that I could for that matter. What images did you get?"

They were pretty blurry, but there was one that looked like a large bird was attacking me. And the rest of them seemed to be similar to that. Would you like to talk more about it?

"No, I think I'll try to go to bed now, again, I'm sorry I woke you up." She rolled over on the sofa and fell asleep.

Ax-man, that was just weird.

Yes, Tobias, it was. I cannot think of a proper explanation either. I shall see you in the morning.

'Night Ax.

I flew back up to my perch and contemplated the stuff that had been projected into my mind a few minutes before. None of the images seemed to make sense, and so, still confused, I fell back asleep and did not receive any more disturbing dreams from any one.

The next day after school had finished Tamitha, Ax and I headed over to Cassie's barn.

"Hey Cassie, how was school today?" Tamitha asked.

"It was alright, Jake fell asleep in math again, and Marco – that's probably not the news you wanted to hear huh? The teachers just said that you moved away over the weekend, so I don't think we have to worry too much about that-"

She just can't show her face in public for fear of being recognized by anyone at school, I put in.

"Well, yeah, but let's not think about that now."

When are the others coming? We do have a meeting today don't we?

"The others are on their way now, I just got off the phone with Jake," Cassie told us. "Jake has some chores to finish but said that he would meet us at the digging site when he finished."

"So we're still going through with the mission?" Tamitha asked.

I think it would be a very bad thing to happen if big bad could see through our morphs, even if they still don't know how to use it just yet. Marco said as he flew in. Rachel came in not too long afterwards.

So, what are we waiting for? Let's get to digging, I think it was my turn, right Marco? and the argument stared up again as Cassie and Tamitha morphed birds and we all flew to the digging site.

Oh Crap! I called to the others.

A/N: Okay, sorry this was a little short. I will have the next chapter updated soon. Has this story begun to suck? Please review.
