Chapter 3: Not Again
~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Rachel's POV ~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hello," Cassie said, standing in the doorway.
"Cassie?!" Jake asked, "I thought that we decided that you'd stay behind on this one! You were the only one who had moved on! What are you doing here? How did you get here?"
"Well, first of all, it was YOU who decided that I was going to stay, not me. I am here because I am part of the Animorphs and I deserve to be here with you, and I want to be here with all of you. The way I got here was that I simply stowed away in the cargo area," Cassie said this all calmly.
Jake shifted uneasily in his chair, exposing me to Cassie's view.
"O-oh my God! RACHEL?!" Cassie screamed, "What the. How did you. Oh my God!" She ran over to me and hugged me tight.
"Hi Cass, I missed you! I am so happy to see you."
"Rachel, how did you get here? Y-you were dead! We were all at the
funeral! I identified the body! How
did you get here?" She was in tears.
"Yea, Rachel, I think we'd all like to know that," Jake agreed.
So I told them my story. Starting with my death, ending with Elfangor's gift to me. By the end, Tobias was crying, Cassie was beaming, and Jake and Marco had small smiles on their faces. I went over to Tobias and hugged him, wiping away the tears on his face. He smiled at me and hugged me back.
"I guess your dad came through for us huh?" I asked him smiling.
"Yea, I guess so."
We all went back to sit down in the living area. Tobias was holding onto me like I would disappear if he let go, but I didn't mind. We sat there and relived the times when we fought the Yeerks. We were so young, it's a wonder that we didn't all die. Suddenly, we all jerked forward. Only then did Jake, Marco, and Tobias remember.
"The Blade Ship!" they yelled together.
"Oh my God," Tobias said quietly, "I had forgotten. We're going to hit the Blade Ship!"
"Is there any way to reverse the command?" Cassie asked frantically.
"No Cassie, I'm afraid not. We're going to hit, and I don't think we're going to survive," Jake said grimly.
Tobias' eyes were filled with fright. He tightened his grip on me and I saw him fighting back tears again. I leaned into him and comforted him as best as I could. I felt horrible. I didn't want to die again. I didn't want to see Tobias die. I didn't want my friends to die.
BANG! The whole ship shuddered.
"We've hit." Marco said simply, amazed. He was staring straight ahead unblinking.
There was a whooshing sound, and stuff around us was sucked to the back of the ship. It was being pulled into space, as we would be too. I was scared.
Suddenly, I saw Marco being pulled backwards. He was crying and screaming at the same time. Out of instinct I jumped up to help him, but was pulled down abruptly by Tobias.
"Rachel NO! I can't watch you die again! I just can't!" He pleaded with me. I felt horrible, but it was too late for Marco, So I stayed where I was, in the arms of Tobias. The place I wanted to die. My wish had been fulfilled. Suddenly, everything was dark.
