Disclaimer: I don't own Animorphs. I wish I did, but I don't. ^-^ Anyways
this story and any characters that are made up are mine and Cassie's. So
don't use them without asking.
Just so people now this isn't just my story. My friend Cassie and I came up with this together. We're co-authors. I come up the ideas and she types them up. And the chapters will switch between Kitty's POV and Loren's POV. Enjoy!! ^_^
************************************************************************
Loren's POV
I was running through a very dark space With Kitty at my side, fleeing from the blue-green monster. All of a sudden, the wall gave away, and I tumbled to the right. I landed hard on my side, and when I got my breath back, I started to run again. I don't know how, but eventually I reached the open air.
The clouds were starting to move in, and there was a chill to the air. None of that mattered to me as I leapt onto Shadow's sleek, black back. I knew that he wasn't my horse, but he was faster than Breeze, and I wanted to get out of there as quickly as I could. I kicked him in the sides, and he took off. I buried my head in his mane, for I hated going fast on a horse.
He slowed down suddenly, and my head was thrown into his neck. I clung onto him, and peered up just enough to see. My heart was racing, and I didn't know where we were. There was nothing there, except unfamiliar woods. I thought I had been all over these woods, but that day I found out that I hadn't. I didn't know where I was. There was a slight rustling in the brush to my right, and Shadow reared and bolted. I hung on for dear life. By some miracle, I actually managed to stay on him, which is something I hadn't been able to do before that day.
I was aware of pursuit. The hair on the back of my neck stood up, and my heart raced faster than before. I shouted at Shadow to go faster. I didn't want to be caught! Especially if what was behind us was what had been chasing Kitty. Kitty! What had happened to her? She hadn't come back with me! She hadn't found the way out!
I tugged on his mane, and kneed him sharply in his side, to turn him around. He wouldn't do it. He kept on running. He also didn't seem to like whatever was behind us. I felt the first tear come down my face. I always cried when I got too scared. And today hadn't been a great day, either. I hated crying, and I hated being such a scaredy-cat.
Shadow's whinny knocked me out of my thoughts. He had pulled up short, and in font of us, I saw the blue creature. I screamed, and Shadow turned and ran. I sat up a little, to see if it was following. It was. I turned around and noticed the low branch hanging from the tree too late. I ducked, but not in time. My head got bashed into the hard wood surface, and Shadow rushed out from under me as the ground flew up under me.
I sat up quickly, and tried to clear my head. As I did that, I felt the ground coming up to meet me again. When my eyes opened, I saw the blue creature standing above me. I think I screamed, and I got up and started running. I heard crashing behind me, and knew that the creature was chasing me again. I never stopped to think about why it hadn't hurt me while I was lying on the ground.
I finally ran out of stamina, which was rare for me. That was one thing I was good for: running. I was leaning against a tree, when I felt strong arms grip me from behind. I started yelling and kicking, when I heard a soft, male voice.
"Loren, chill out. It's Marco." I stilled for a moment, which was enough time for him to turn me around to face him. It really was him. I hadn't seen him in a long time.
"Uncle Marco? What are you doing here?" I asked him quietly. "And what is that creature?" As if on cue, it came crashing through the brush, and I struggled to get away again. Uncle Marco gripped me harder. I squealed in pain, and he relinquished his grip a bit.
"Loren, he's an old friend. Do you mean to tell me that you don't know what he is? Cass- Kitty's mom hasn't told you anything?" Now I was terrified and confused. I had no idea what he was talking about, and that made itself apparent on my face. "Loren, there's a lot you don't know," he said softly. "But I think that's going to change. This 'creature' is a friend of ours. We call him Ax."
It seemed like a fitting name for a creature like that. Of course, I had no idea of what I was getting into when Marco asked me the next question.
"Where's Kitty?" All of a sudden, things came to me. Kitty was back in the cave still! She was trapped in there with the other creature!
"She's- she's back there," I managed to spit out.
"Back where?" I pointed to the direction I thought was the cave.
"There's a cave, by a stream. We rode there, and she went in. I told her not to, but she did! And there was another one of those blue things, and it was chasing her, and we got separated. I don't know where she is now." Ax and Uncle Marco looked at each other for almost a minute, with occasional nods from Uncle Marco. Then Ax ran off, and returned lugging an awkward piece of wood in his small upper arms. Uncle then put it on his back, and leapt onto Ax like he was a common horse. Then Uncle reached down a hand to me.
"Come on, Loren. It's safe, I promise." By now I was so numb with fear that I couldn't think straight. I took his hand, and hopped in front of him.
Ax was faster than he looked. We sped along through the woods at an amazing speed. I had my eyes open the whole time, and I wasn't actually that scared. We finally got to the cave, and I pointed inside it, and they went first, after taking the contraption off of Ax's back.
