Chapter 3
I looked back at the Living Hive, still not understanding them. He said something to me that I wish he didn't say.
{DO NOT WORRY, MY CHILD. YOU WILL BE SAFE AS LONG AS YOU ARE STILL NEAR ME. DO NOT FEAR THESE YEERKS.}
They motioned for me to follow them and I did warily. They showed me to a small room that was dimly lit. I adjusted my eyes to the light and looked into what seemed a pool of sludge. There were small larvae swimming through the sludge. I gasped, if a Taxxon could gasp.
"Yeerk," The smaller one said, pointing to one of the grubs.
I felt a small pin prick against my outer shell, I ignored it until I started to feel dizzy and collapsed. I watched while everything went black, the Yeerks fumbling around me. I blacked out.
When I came too the Yellow Orb was just setting on the Hive's mound.
I was scuttling back toward the Hive, but I wasn't controlling myself!
I tried to move my upper torso, nothing! I tried to move my mouth, nothing!
{Ahh welcome back to conciousness Taxxon. As you can see, you are being controlled. But I must say, we lied to you and your Hive. We already had multiple Taxxons infested, we were just using you for a distraction.} Something said to me inside my head.
{What are you? What are you doing to me? Let me go!} I screamed back.
{See my name is Afron 3701. Or, sub-visser 24. I am a Yeerk. I entered your brain through your ear canal and enslaved you. Your thoughts,
memories, and entire body are all mine to access and control. And oh,
I cannot let you go, your Hive promised us your bodies in return to feeding them. Oh yes my host, we will feed you. I am going to tell the Hive of our departure with the Yeerks, you will never see this world again.}
He was right, I couldn't resist. Technically I agreed to this. I slumped inside my mind and did what no Taxxon has ever done, I gave up.
