Chapter 25
The next morning, we all got together in Cassie's barn to discuss what we knew. Which wasn't a whole lot more. We had decided that only extreme emotions could brake the bond between human and yeerk.
Me, Sam and Tobias were all in the rafters. Rachel, Whitney and Marco were all on bales of hay. Cassie was applicating medicine to a fox. Jake was pacing.
"So, we know that Chapman became a controller voluntarily. It was actually a noble act to save his daughter." Cassie pointed out.
"I know that Melissa still isn't a controller. I called her this morning to see if she was going to be coming to practice tonight. She said she was, but she wanted to know if I could give her a ride. Something about her parents acting all strange the night before. She was scared." Rachel said.
"Yeah, and why does that make you think she is still safe?" Marco asked.
"Simple." Jake interrupted. "She wouldn't have made mention of it is she was under control, you know how yeerks are when it comes to keeping things secret."
"I see."
"Well, I thought I would bring this up." I said. "Yesterday, when you called us for help, I answered."
He shrugged his shoulders. "So?"
"I answered in thought speech and I wasn't morphed." I told him.
"Oh, can't we do that?" Rachel said as she stared at me. "Did you hear that?"
I shook my head. "No." I switched to telepathy. {Can you hear me?}
Rachel had a confused look on her face. "Yes, I did. How did you do that?"
"I don't know. I just do it like I was in morph." I told her. "What about you?" I asked Sam.
"If you didn't hear me, than no." He answered. "Why, because I have telekinesis?"
"Okay, let's forget about this for a while. We will need to discover what is going on right now." Jake said to everyone.
"Oh, and I think I have another problem." I pointed out.
{What now?} Tobias asked.
"Well, when you were in Chapman's house last night, were any of you directing your thought speech at me?"
"No, not that I know of." Rachel said. "Why?"
"Well, when I was with Sam waiting for some kind of orders, I could hear every detail of your conversation. I was hoping that maybe Tobias was directing it at me because it was either that or everyone within a mile could hear you." I pointed out.
{As far as I knew, I was keeping it to just us, I didn't even think about you when Rachel got in trouble.} Tobias said.
"And I didn't even know you were there." Rachel said. "Don't forget, I was completely in the dark for most of that mission."
"Okay, let's stop and think for a minute. We have a lot of problems that we have to deal with." Jake said. As he tried to keep everyone under control. "Let's calm down."
"Okay, let's just use this to our advantage of the power that we have. Don't question things. Humans care too much about how things work. We don't need to replicate it, so we don't need to analyse it." Sam said. "So leave it be."
"Okay, I need to go. I have to go to a gymnastics meet at noon, so I have to go." Rachel said as she got up to leave. "See you guys later." Tobias just flew out the open hayloft.
"I think this meeting is adjourned." Jake said. "I guess we need to just set back for a while so this can all blow over."
We all agreed and left. sam and I were both confused. We were safe, for now, but not for long.
