Chapter 2:
~*~*~*~
My name is Tyler. I can't tell you my last name. I can't even tell you the name of the state or the city I live in. If I did, we'd all be dead in a short matter of time. We have to keep our identities secret, and we can't trust anyone. We Animorphs. That's what we call us. If you've read the books, you know what I'm talking about. There are five of us and we all go to the same school. We were normal teenagers, until a week ago when everything changed.
~*~*~
I was on my way to The Beat to meet the other Animorphs after school. The Beat is the café and youth center where teenagers usually hang out here. When I got to The Beat I saw that everyone was already there.
"Hi guys." I said
I sat down next to Jasmine. Jasmine's new at the school. She moved here from Namibia where she lived before.
"I was thinking guys, maybe we should practice our morphing skills a bit." Kevin said
"What do you mean by practice?" Jasmine asked
"Like when the Animorphs practiced flying together?" Melanie asked
"Exactly." Kevin said
Melanie and Kevin are siblings. You could never guess that they're siblings because they are so unlike each other. I know Kevin from Soccer and our families know each other as well.
"So you're we should morph into birds?" Zack asked
Zack is Kevin's best friend.
"Yeah, why not?" Kevin said
"Of all things you suggest flying." Jasmine said
"Is it a problem?" Zack asked
"I happen to be dead scared of flying." Jasmine
"Don't worry about, when you're a bird you won't think about being scared." I said, trying to cheer her up
"So when should we do it, now or tomorrow?" Melanie asked
"How about after we've finished here?" Kevin asked
"Sounds good to me." Melanie said
"But where do find birds that are willing to let us touch them without flying away?" Zack asked
"I have an idea." Kevin said
~*~*~
We were in the woods, ready to morph.
"The zoo was your idea?" Zack asked
"You can't say it didn't work. I mean, our dad works there." Kevin said
"The important thing is that it worked, now are we gonna morph or what?" I asked
As the oldest person of the group, I could sometimes feel responsible for the others even though I knew that they could take care of themselves.
I concentrated on the image of the falcon, and the morphing started. It didn't take long before I was a bird.
Lets fly over the city and see what's going on. Melanie said
Being a bird was cool. Flying was awesome and man you could see far. I noticed that Zack was flying next to Jasmine. Man that guy sure had it in for her.
Hey Z, trying to impress her are you? I asked Zack privately
Shut up Tyler. Zack replied
Wow, this view is amazing. Melanie said
Do you guys wanna try diving? I asked
I don't think so. Jasmine said
Come on, it's gonna be fun Kevin said
Fine Jasmine agreed
By the way, is anyone keeping track of time? Melanie asked
Don't worry about we won't be long. Zack said
We started diving. Man, this was way cool.
Tyler remind me to kill you for this when we morph back. Jasmine said
~*~*~
"You know, being a bird is awesome but when you morph back it's like being totally blind." Kevin said
"That's what they say in the book." Jasmine said
"So what are you guys up to now?" I asked
"Not much, I've got homework to do." Zack said
"Hey Jasmine, you're sleeping over at our house for the weekend aren't you?" Melanie said
"Oh yeah I almost forgot, I need to go home and pack." Jasmine said
"Is your dad going away?" I asked
"Yeah, some conference or whatever it was." Jasmine replied
"Luckily it's Friday tomorrow." Kevin said
"You know, one thing that bothers me is that we haven't seen any sign of the Leiors yet." Zack said
"Yeah that's true, but you have to remember that they can be invisible." I said
"Oh well, I better get going, see you guys later alright." Jasmine said
"Call before you're coming so that I can meet you." Melanie said
Jasmine walked away.
~*~*~
I opened the door to my house, stepped inside and closed the door behind me and was greeted by my dog, Ellie, who tried to jump up to me.
"Whoa, easy girl, I haven't been gone very long." I said
Ellie wagged her tail.
"It doesn't matter if you've been gone for 15 minutes or a year, a dog is still as much happy to see you."
I looked up. It was my older sister Hannah. She went to college in New York and I had no idea that she was going to be here. I have two sisters, Hannah and my younger sister Mary.
I hugged Hannah.
"So how's life?" She asked when she let go off me
"Fine. How come mom and dad didn't tell us you were coming?" I asked
"I wanted it to be a surprise." Hannah said
"It sure was."
Hannah and I went into the living room.
"So what's been happening lately?" She asked
"You know the usual. Lots of work in school, soccer practice, hanging out with friends." I said
That's all I could say. 'What's been up? I've met a guy named Annor who gave me and four of my friends the power to morph into any animal we want just like the Animorphs so that we can help him fight the evil Leiors. That's what's been up.'
I looked down at Ellie, the first one of us who had morphed was Jasmine and she had morphed into Ellie.
"What are you thinking about?" Hannah asked
"Nothing, it's just that things have changed quite a lot since you've left Han." I said
Hannah looked at me.
"What do you mean?" She asked
"What I mean is that I've missed you a lot." I said
"I've missed you too."
Later that day when I was sitting in the computer room, I heard something outside.
"Meow."
I looked out my window and saw a gray and white striped cat sitting on the window ceil.
Hi Tyler, how's it going?
"What the-..Melanie?" I asked
Yeah, hey can you open the window? I can't stand out here all day. Melanie said
I went to the window and opened it. Melanie jumped inside.
"How come you're a cat?" I asked
I was walking outside when this cat came to me, so I decided to acquire its DNA. Melanie said
She jumped onto my bed.
It's pretty cool actually, I mean, it's like you're a walking flashlight outside, talk about night vision. She said
"It's not that dark." I said
Suddenly, someone opened my door.
"Who are you talking to Ty?" Hannah asked
"My friend called me on my cell phone." I lied
Hannah looked down to Melanie.
"I never knew we had a cat?" She said
"Oh, that's just my friends cat, she was outside so I opened the window and she jumped in." I said
"She's so cute." Hannah said and cuddled Melanie for a bit
That feels good. Melanie said
At that I had to smile and obviously Melanie noticed it.
What? It's the cat instinct. She said
"Dinner's almost ready." Hannah said and left my room
Who was that? Melanie asked
"That was my sister Hannah, she goes to college in New York." I replied
Well, I better go. Is Kevin going to be surprised or what? Melanie said
"Hurry up, the time is running." I said and opened the window for her
You see; we have a limit for staying in a morph. The limit is two hours. If you cross the limit, you're in trouble. If you cross the limit, you'll never be able to become human again.
Sometimes I wonder if I did the right choice to accept the power. I suppose I did but sometimes I just wonder. I decided to think about something else, like when Zack had flown next to Jasmine when we were practicing flying, man that guy sure likes her. But he's too afraid to admit it to anyone. Oh well, that's something he has to take care of. It's just that Jasmine's only staying here for a year.
I went down to the kitchen and sat down by the table next to Hannah. It was great having her here for a while.
