Chapter One: I Am A Fool
October 3rd
5:06 pm
I was dying. I knew I was. Deep inside myself, I could see the blackness of death spreading through my body. How had this happened? How had I gotten here? So far away from the ones I loved. Oh, yes, Toomin brought me. Why? Why was I here? Oh, yes, my father's freedom. I was here to battle for my father's freedom. I was losing. I gasped as another kick hit my side. Then I was drifting away… into the past… remembering… It all started a couple of months ago… a couple of Earth months ago, that is…
August, of the Earth months, 27th, of the Earth days
2:53 pm, of Earth hours and minutes
My name is Katalee-Rallaa-Corass. I am an Andalite aristh. I am the first female Andalite to join our military in over 50 Earth years. For a while, no one would accept me. They told me, "Females cannot fight! They are not as strong as males. They are too weak, too emotional! Go home!" But I would not go home. I had enrolled and I was staying. It was my dream to be a great warrior. Like my father. Like Prince Elfangor. I was almost ready to graduate from aristh to valea, the next rank up.
But that was before.
Before I stole one of our fighter ships and left the planet illegally. I was surely going to be thrown out of the army when I got home but I had to go to Earth. It was my duty. I had delayed long enough. Almost two Earth years were wasted while I debated what to do. I regret that now. I should have gone immediately, as soon as the transmission came through. But I didn't.
I am a fool.
For all I know that ones I am searching for could be dead. After all, the Yeerks were on Earth, and the Resistance was small. The Resistance. That is what they had started calling the group of Andalite warriors on Earth.
Except I found out what the government didn't want anyone to find out.
I found out that the 'Andalite warriors' were really five human children and an aristh. That was Earth's hope. I wasn't criticizing them. They had caused a lot of damage to the Yeerks on Earth and I admired them.
I had found out by hearing the transmission.
And I wasn't going to Earth to try and be some kind of hero. I wasn't going to try and save Earth. I wasn't going to join the Resistance. I was just going to deliver the message and go home and hope that the army would take me back.
I am a fool.
I didn't think about the Yeerks being able to detect my ship on radar. I didn't expect to have three Yeerk bug fighters come after me. But they did. I didn't think that slimy slugs could best me, Katalee, the best pilot of my generation. But they could. There were three of them you know. I didn't think that I would be hit so bad that I would go crashing to Earth and that I would barely be able to salvage anything from my ship. But I was. But, above all, I did not expect Marco.
I am a fool.
Short, I know. But, I have lots more chappies ready! If you R&R. So, please do!
