Anna
The images in my head were getting stronger and the pain in my head was getting worse. Much worse. It was like being overloaded with information, I felt as if my head was going to explode. We were all on the ground, breathing hard and clutching our heads. Except for James of course. All of us had tried to forget about the pain and reach for the Syctcaybla. But each time, we had just fallen down again.
As soon as we wereon the ship, these images were in my mind. These pictures of kids, who could transform like us. But into animals not aliens. But there was one alien, who was a kid like us. At first I thought, it was it was my power. I couldn't control it yet, so it was working overtime. But the others looked distracted as well. And then it got worse and worse. And soon, we were out of it.
We had somehow made to the first room on the left, where the Syctcaybla was held. There was no guards, or protection. It was just lying there, I could have just grabbed it. But no. I couldn't because of, whatever was happening to me.
So we were just lying there, trying to remain as calm as possible and occasionally getting enough strength to move. But Larrissa went and did something very stupid. I don't know how or why, but she had managed to turn back into a human. One of the kids in my mind, looked eerily like Larrissa. Changing back was stupid, but not as stupid as yelling, "Get out of my head!" Which was exactly what Larrissa did next.
Big mistake. It took the Hatriaee about two seconds to come. They looked at us, with an expression that was unmistakably, a mixture of shock and hatred. They pointed these half dagger-like and half gun-like weapons. Then they started to talk among themselves, as if they were waiting for their leader. Who probably had the honor of killing us. But at that point, I didn't really care, my head was gonna kill me first.
I never thought I would be grateful to have that melting feeling happen, but I was. And we arrived back at the lab, the barrage of images and information stopped. I sat down, giving relief to my weak, shaking legs. I was out of breath and sweaty like I had ran five kilometers or something. "Interesting. Very interesting." Kittos remarked.
"INTERESTING? WE WERE ALMOST KILLED!" Eric exploded, I didn't know where he has the energy to do that. "Yes, but only almost. I saved you didn't I? Besides I wasn't talking about your mission. I am talking about your life lines." "Our what?" Eric said rather weakly. I guess the adrenaline had run out.
Kittos looked very intrigued, "As you go through life, you carve out a line in time and space. What is so interesting about yours is the fact it is intertwined with others. Meaning that whoever you are linked with, could affect your lives and vice versa. Further more, the beings are from another dimension."
It was starting to make some sense, at least to me. "When we were on the ship, I think all of us received these images of four kids, a hawk and an alien. And also a place, a barn filled with animals. Could they be the ones we're linked with?" I asked. "Very possibly, it could be the Elders giving you a sign." Kittos answered. "The who? And does that mean we won't get that headache when we're on another mission?" James asked, impatiently.
"You will learn of the Elders, and no, I do not think , you will experience those images again. But we will have to make sure. I will move your minds to where the ones, you are intertwined with, are. They will not be able to see you, and you will be able to read their thoughts, memories and feelings. Are you ready?" Kittos questioned. We nodded and that I noticed Larrissa was crying. But I didn't have time to think about it.
I fell into what, felt like a deep sleep. And what I saw was like a dream. But I know it wasn't. Four kids were in a barn, just talking and hanging out. Like normal kids do, but they weren't normal. The girl that looked like Larrissa was there. Rachel, the name just drifted into my head. She was the bold one of the group, the one who fought when the fight was hopeless, not at all like Larrissa.
She had a cousin, Jake. Who was the leader, but didn't really want to be. It was strange, it was if all this information had just created itself. Marco, he was Jake's best friend. He hid a very serious side behind jokes and cracks. Then there was Cassie, an animal lover and had high morals. But that wasn't all.
A hawk flew in, but it wasn't just a hawk. It was Tobias, who had once been human, a sort of shy, gentle yet sort of weird human. But he chose to be in hawk form. It was nerving it a way, while all this information made itself available to me, they continued on as normal. There was another, the alien. He came in as well, but he was in human form. He looked like mixture, of Jake, Marco, Cassie and Rachel. Because he was.
The others called him Ax, and he was a very knowledgeable alien. Though slightly arrogant. Tobias and Ax were related. By Elfangor, Tobias's father and Ax's brother. They were a group, all the of them. They had been through so much together, fighting against the Yeerks. The Yeerks were a threat to their universe, just like the Hatriaee was to ours. They called themselves the Animorphs, and could, yep, morph in to animals. That was all I got before I started to fade out.
I woken up, I guess and was in the lab. "So?" Kittos asked us, anxiously. "Yeah, they're the ones. The Animorphs. They don't know about us though." I answered, feeling a whole less tired. "Then there is something, I must tell you," Kittos sounded very serious, "Everything you do from now on will affect their lives. You are more powerful than they are, and therefore impact their lives, with your actions."
My first thought was, great now we're responsible for not only our entire universe but six lives and another dimension's survival. But I looked at the others, the Animorphs were just like us. Fighting for something, we probably wouldn't win. The Animorphs had fought, when they could of left the fighting to someone else. A selfless act, even if their fight was personal.
I forgot that, our fight was too. Our parents died saving us. and I was not to stand by and let the Hatriaee do that to someone else's parents or let the Yeerks win in the Animorphs' world. I could see in Larrissa's , James' and Eric's eyes that they had come to the same conclusion. "That doesn't matter. We'll keep fighting." I said to Kittos. And we are and we have a name now, Alliance 4!
