Chapter 1- Tobias
"C'mon, Jake! Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm almost positive Taylor survived," Jake answered.
"How do you know, Jake?" Rachel asked, totally pissed.
"When we went to find the pumping station, I saw a shadow moving away from the tunnel. She was the only other person in that tunnel."
We were at the food court at the mall. Cassie was still a little shocked at what she had done, so she wasn't there. Marco was getting food, and Ax was looking at another table who had just gotten Cinnabon.
"Ax..."
Marco chose to walk up at that moment. "So is She-Yeerk alive?" He handed me 3 supreme tacos and a large Sierra Mist from Taco Bell, Rachel a Whopper Jr. and Coke from BK, Jake a large order of curly fries and Sprite from Arbys, Ax a large Cinnabon and Mt. Dew , and himself nachos and Coke.
Ax started to shove the whole bun into his mouth and I grabbed his hand.
"Ax, for the final time, bite pieces off and eat them," Rachel said, annoyed.
He looked at me, confused, shrugged, and proceeded to shove the whole Cinnabon into his mouth.
"Oh, jeez!"
I opened my taco and started eating. "So what if she's alive? If she goes to Visser Three, he'll kill her for failing, if she doesn't, she starves."
Ax finished his bun and said, "Not likely. She would have fed before the digging, so she has about 2.34 days to do something."
"The question is, what?" Jake said.
We were stumped.
"She'd want to get revenge!" Marco half-screamed.
"Marco!" We all snapped.
"Sorry," he said sheepishly.
"She'd want to get revenge," he whispered. "But as to who?"
"Visser Three. For making her do it," I said. We paused to continue eating.
"I don't know how," Jake said, eating a fry, "she would do it. Visser Three happens to be the most guarded Yeerk on the planet. How would she get to him?"
It came to me. "While he's feeding the Andalite body! When he's eating!"
"So what do we do," Rachel asked. "Let her destroy Visser Three? Or do we attack her?"
"If she destroys Visser Three, she will be hunted down, so no matter what she does- I got it!" Jake said, grabbing Marco's nachos. He ate one and continued. "She'll lock up Taylor, take a new host, and feed. If she is going to destroy the Visser, she uses Taylor's host body, destroys Taylor, and takes a new host." Marco reached for a nacho, saw Jake had taken them, and yanked them back.
"Mine!" He snapped.
Jake rolled his eyes. "Can we be mature? Just this once?"
I ate my taco. "Not as long as Marco is here." Rachel stared at me, hurt.
"I'm supposed to diss the dweeb!"
"Sorry."
"So we need to find Taylor, track her or something." Jake turned to me. "You know where she lives. Can you show us?"
"Yeah. Not too far from here. By my Uncle's old dump, in the trailer park."
"We head there Saturday. Clear things up with the parentals. We need everyone."
We finished eating and headed out.
I left the mall and demorphed.
I flew off. I had fed the human. Time to feed the hawk.
"C'mon, Jake! Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes. I'm almost positive Taylor survived," Jake answered.
