We've had Jake (in 3rd person) and we've had Tobias, so, let's go with Cassie

CASSIE

What would I do without Jake? With him around to look after Samuel, I'm able to work at the veterinary clinic. Looking after animals have always been my life and I'm glad I can take it further. Jake doesn't mind being a Mr Mom, but he does have a small part-time job. He just loves being a parent. Maybe we should have another child

But, back with the story. Every now and then, I get a phone call in the middle of the night, to attend to an injured animal. Like right now

BRING BRING! BRING BRING!

"Honey, could you get the phone please?" I asked Jake sleepily

"It's on your side"

"Oh, right"

Rolling over, I picked up the phone

"Hello?"

"Hi Cassie, sorry if I awoke you" It was one of my assistants, Robert

"Oh yeah, Rob, at 3am in the morning"

"Very sorry, but we've got a dog in here that was hit by a car. Seems real bad"

Like I said, nothing really unusual

"Yeah, I'll be there. Just give me five," I said

"We're stabilising him now"

I got up, tossing the doona all over Jake, before getting changed into my morphing outfit. See, the problem with morphing, is that you have to wear tight-fitting clothing. Thankfully, I had a set of clothes at the clinic and at a place where no one knows. The morph I was going to do was owl. Silent and speedy, I could get there quick and morph back. Snowy white feathers appeared across my body, as my fingers stretched out, forming wings. My feet formed into talons, as my bones and organs squished and moulded themselves into owl organs and bones. My face flattened to form the owl face. Fluttering up to the open window, I took to the air, flying straight for the clinic

The other vets turned around as I entered the room, carrying my stethoscope

"How bad are the injuries?" I asked

"Several broken ribs, internal bleeding, fractured leg," answered Robert

"Alright, we have to find the source of the bleeding and stem it," I ordered

I turned to Robert,

"How fast was the driver going?"

"Very fast to cause this. Didn't even stop. Just keep going. I'd say the dog was lying there for about half an hour"

"Bastard," I whispered

For the next several hours, we worked on the dog, fixing his bones and stemming the internal bleeding. I didn't want to see the dog die. It was a lovely German Shepard. By the time we had him fixed and in the recovery room, the sun was rising. I thanked the vets, got changed, morphed to osprey and flew back home. I was hoping to get some sleep, while Jake tended to Sam. But, something had caught my eye. It was a dark object in the sky, far away from me. I had no idea what it was and I wasn't going to find out. I landed in the front yard and morphed back to human. See, Jake planted some bushes that grow above the fence, so we have no worries about anyone see us morph. I know we defeated the Yeerks, but there were a few, including Tom still. And a good thing is, they can't recruit anymore Controllers. Entering the house, I saw Jake playing with Sam and smiled. Sam was chasing after the ball Jake was throwing. I went inside and laid down on the couch. Jake threw the ball and came up to me. I grabbed his hand

"So, what was it?"

"A dog got hit by a car pretty bad," I answered

"What some sleep?"

"Very much"

"Hey Sam," called Jake, letting go of my hand, "come on, we're playing outside"

I didn't bother getting changed, just went into the room and collapsed onto the bed. I had barely closed my eyes, when Sam cam running in

"Sam what do you want?" I asked

"There's something in the sky"

Even though I needed sleep, I bolted out of the room and joined Jake in the front yard. He was looking at a strange object in the sky

"What is it?"

"I have no idea yet…oh no"

"What?"

"I know that type of ship"

"Are you telling me…?"

"Yep, it's a Yeerk ship"

Cliff-hanger, I think. It leaves you wondering about the ship, doesn't it? More chapters will come, but in the mean time, please review
