Disclaimer: OK here's a fic that I will start out at T but words to the wise it may increase later (because the guys won't let us M writers use the front page!), I do not own the Animorphs if I did everyone who worked on the TV show would be in court right now for murdering a wonderful series by putting on Nickelodeon, AND I wouldn't be struggling to scrape together enough money so I can go to a University and have professors spout off their opinions all the time. I do however own the members of Glass Dagger.

Note: This fic is going to rely a lot on direction from the readers

Warning: For the two people in cyberspace who have read my previous fics there are some potential spoilers here

Final note (watch me wink as I write) it would help you (wink) to understand the plot (wink) if you read my other fics (wink wink) and leave a review (wink winkity wink wink)

Somewhere in the Gurwon Polar Region

My name is Erik Cortez Bishop, and time has ceased to matter to me. How long have been a captive of the Yerks, a week a month, a year? I was taken prisoner of December 29th 2009, along with Jade Rodriguez.

You likely know my history, how I lead the Glass Dagger team, a team that got the morphing power by stealing it from Andiate transmissions. How our team interacted with the various different teams that were fighting the Yerks as the result of the Applegate project, an effort to expose the Yerk invasion. You already know that I helped stage an attack that destroyed the Yerk Pool and ended the invasion.

If you watched TV at all then you saw how I fought to become a senator, you saw how Jake Bernson leaked information to try and undermine my campaign. If you watch C-Span you'll know how I became mired in an attempt to get our country to enter the war on Gurwon the Yerks latest invasion attempt.

If you listen to talk radio you'll know that I refused to go back into war, that I wanted to spend more time with my dear sweet Karen. I you had 1 functional brain cell left recently you heard about my wife's murder.

All of that led to my writing this right now. I am inscribing it on the walls of my prison with my finger nails that have become jagged and long due to the lack of hygiene in this prison. I don't know why I'm writing it, maybe I just need something to do… this is a dream I had while I was in a drug induced stupor that the Yerks tried to use to question me (the most they got from me is that I once had impure thoughts about my sisters Barbie Doll when I was 8).

Glass Dagger was formed by me and my sister at first, but in my dream I found an alternate reality, one where I joined the animorphs in a very different way in this story I will switch voices in many different places, my dream was not limited to first person, however it was oddly enough very coherent. Listen to my story and know that I am still alive even though I don't know how long…

I put on my camouflage. I really didn't feel right leaving Anna alone. My little sister had taken our parents death even worse than I had. And the custody battle ( I was 18 she was 16 I had to go through Hell and high water to keep her out of a home) that I somehow won was hard on her as well.

Anna had insisted I go hunting however, she said it might relax me. Maybe she was right… I been distracted lately. Ever since our house burned down and we had to stay in an apartment until the insurance paid off I felt that I was missing something, that there was some factor that linked the… There a burst of pain in my ears. Damn implants were acting up, my parents had done a good job with placing them in my sister and my ears to cure our deafness but there were still a few kinks work out.

I Walked out of my room and applied cover scent to my body. Anna was sitting down her shoulder length brown hair in a ponytail, she watching TV. I tapped her on the shoulder and she smiled.

"I hope you bring us back some venison I'm about tired of Pizza Hut." She smiled.

"Well I'm not." I said.

"Oh you just like it because that Karen girl delivers the pizza." She said pushing me gently I turned red

"Do not!" I said.

"Yes you do!" She said teasingly. "when are you going to ask her out?"

"Me ask her out, oh come on An-An, look at me!" I said. "I have the muscle math of a paraplegic earthworm, my fingers look like bones and…"

"Oh come on brother you have to have a little confidence, you don't look that bad! I mean girls flip for the red hair."

"You mean the hair it takes 2 tons of concrete to control?"

"Uh I give up, it's like talking to a brick wall." She said, that was my moms favorite expression, but Anna was smiling. That mean two things, one: she wasn't pissed at me, and two: she was getting over her grief. I gave her a hug.

"You sure you don't want to go with me."

"You're the hunter in the family not me." She said smiling. I gave her a hug and a peck on the cheek.

"Kay I'll be back a little after dark."

"good luck and be careful."

"I will." I said as I walked out. I meant it too, I wasn't going to leave my sister alone.

A shorter chapter but I want to get this up and get a feel for how the public will react. Another note just to say this up front Erik and Anna are just close siblings there's nothing else there. I hope you all enjoy and please read my other fics.
