CHAPTER 2

I woke up next day. Found my self sleeping on the floor. Wow that was a weird day yesterday I thought to myself yawning. Thankfully it was all just a dream. I looked at the clock. "9:00am!" I yelled jumping up. Im gonna be late for school again! I cant afford that or else ill get grounded. I thought getting dressed and going downstairs. My Grandma still asleep. Thankfully she sleeps like I log I though sighing and walking out the door running to school. Three feet from the door. Just got to make it inside and to homeroom before the bell. I dashed in. "scuze me ,pardon me,watch out, ahh.."I felt soemthing grab me into the girls bathroom while running.I was pushed against the wall "Ahh what do you want with me? I swear I didnt ditch school, ok mabey I did just yesterday and last week. But thats all please dont kill me" I begged as my mouth was covered by a hand still pinned against the bathroom wall. I finally opened my eyes and saw rachel holding me as cassie was trying to get her to be gentle. "shh" Cassie said "Were not going to hurt your just please be quiet." she said pleadingly "Damn right were not going to hurt her. Ok what did you hear and see kid?" Reachel asked getting into my face "Uh...see,hear?" I asked not knowing what they were talking about. "Yesterday in the clearing off campuse" Cassie said "Um yesterday? Oh yeah YOUR THE ONES THAT WERE WITH THAT BLUE ALIEN YOU JAKE ,MARCO, TOBIAS AND THAT OTHER ROBOT DUDE!" I yelled. Rachel quickly put her hand over my mouth again. "Rachel be careful" Cassie said pleeading with her again. "Yes Hikaru we need to know what exactly you saw and heard and please be quiet we cant be heard can you meet us after school? We need to discuss things." she asked "No way I have no clue what your gonna do..as for what I heard and saw It was probly just a dream but it was that guy that turned into an alien then there was the word yeerk. But I looked it up and theres nothing on yeerks." I said talking fast now. Rachel put her hand on my mouth again "Keep it down we could be heard. Of course theres nothing on yeerks theyre not known to humans." she said fearcly "NOT KNOWN TO HUMANS HOW COULD THEy- not be known to humans" I started to shout but remembered and quieted down. Rachel spoke again this time calmly "Were not telling you anything but meet us at the end of the day or else your life could be in jeapordy." "Why should I?" I asked my fear going away. "If your not gonna tell me what yeerks are then im not trusting you." I said slowly getting around them and walking out the door "Ill just ask the principal what they are ,she'll know" I said walking out "later" I replied watching their eyes nearly popping out. "No wait!" Cassie said while the door slammed. I had to get out of here and to the fastest teacher I could find. This was all to weird to compare. Blue Aliens, words that arent human, silver dog robots, and now two kids ganging up on me. what was next? I walked to the principals office and to the secretary in the office. "Uh Mrs.Hamilton? Can I see the principal its important?" the secretary looked at me "Im sorry the principal is out dealing with kids again but I can get you into to see the assitant principal Mr.Chapman if you want" I sighed anything was good just had to tell about the aliens and the that harrasers "Yeah sure can I see him now?" I asked "Sure just through that door heres a pass" She said handing me a pass. I took it and walked through the door to the desk. "Uh Mr.Chapman?" I asked "Yes what is it I dont have all day" he said sounding mad and unconcerned. "Uh yeah I have something to tell you and ask. You probly wouldnt beleive me but I need to ask" I said watching a hawk fly by the window "So tell me or just leave your wasting my time" he replied. Sighing again watching the hawk intently I said. "Uh...sir do you what a y..y-"."NO DONT TELL HIM" I heard a voice in my head yell at me. What the heck...first the blue alien,now something was yelling at me in my head.This was way to much. I started to respond. But then heard the voice in my head again. "Listen to me im the hawk flying outside , dont tell chapman about yeerks hes one of them." I nodded "huh? one of what?" I asked out loud. Chapman looked at me. "Excuse me what were you gonna tell me?" he asked. "The voice returned "One of the yeerks dont say anything he cant hear me just get out of there as fast as you can and meet us all at the end of today and please dont tell anyone" He ended. I squinted was that hawk shaking its head at me? Woah I must of been going crazy. But its not every day a hawk talks to you so he must of been seriouse. Mr.chapman was getting imapaitent "What is it?" he said sounding stern. "Uh nothing mr.chapman never mind I just remembered its not important uh well..later". I said getting out of there as fast as I could bursting through the doors. Wow I had alot to think of, a hawk talking to me and telling me that mr.chapman was one of something. What could happen next..guess I would meet them later and find out the answers to all of this worth a try.
So I waited all day till finally the bell rang. I got my stuff and practically flew otu that door. I wanted answers and the others were the only ones that had them. I got outside and saw them waitinng. Walking over to them I finally asked. So what are yeerks? Whos the blue alien? Why did a hawk talk to me? I said asking 3 questiong at once. "Shhh" Jake said. "We cant talk here its not safe. But once we get to cassies farm we'll answer all that we can.Till then dont ask or say a word about it." he replied. "But?" I said finally shutting up. At least they were finally gonna tel me. I followed them wondering..what the heck was so dangerouse to tell. Were they murderers,a gang, a group of aliens come to destroy the world? They didnt look like aleins. Then again the other one didnt look like an alien either till his skin started melting. Lost in my own thoughts I didnt notice where we were. Till we finally stopped. "Ok this is far enough" Jake said. "Ok now first of all why were you spying on us?" he asked sounding stern. "Excuse me? You were walking of campus didtching school. So naturally I followed.Now ill ask questions. What are you?" I asked getting mad. "Look kid you dont ask the questions we do, you could be a yeerks spy for all we know." Rachel said putting out her fists. "Rachel! Stop shes not a yeerk or else we all would of been turned in already" Cassie said grabbing a hold of rachel to stop her. "She could be, or she could needed to wait to get all of us then turn us in to visser 3" Marco replied. "Visser 3? I asked curiousely. "Yes Visser 3 the most evil on earth, he's a yeerk with an andalite host" A reply said from up in the tree. I looked up to see who it was and saw the hawk from earlier. "Hey your that talking bird" I said. "Yes I am and your the person that almost got yourself and us killed. "Huh? what I didnt mean to, Wait what do you mean killed? You said chapman was a yeerk? Well whats a yeerk? I asked impaitently. "A yeerk is a alien race. That greatly resemble slugs. They are pure evil and are already on earth. They enter your brain through your ear canal and spread their body through it taking complet control of your body. You can talk or move your arms and legs. Your a slave trapped in your own mind watching while the yeerk thats you makes controllers of your friends and familly." Jake said "The yeerks are after host bodies. Anyone that is controlled by a yeerk is called a controller. They took the Horkbajir as slaves, and Allied with the Taxxons. Now there after earth. But the Andalites fight them and so do we." He described. "Woah, Whats an andalite and how do you fight something that powerful." I asked mesmerized by all this information. "Well" Jake said" an Andalite is a good aliena and ax is one of them. Ax Demorph please, dont be alarmed hes on our side". He said. Suddenly the boy from before started to shift shape his skin melting and turning blue as his arms became skinny, and another pair of legs shot out of his chest. Then stalk eyes appeared on his head and a tail shot out from behind. Last but not least his mouth just dissapeared. There standing where the boy named Ax was a blue deerish alien that had a scorpion tail no mouth and had the upper parts of a human. It seemed like a nightmarish centaur."Th...Th..thats an andalite?" I asked "They dont look all that good..." I said freaked out. "You dont look so good yourself compared to my people." Said something in my head. "whao" I jumped about 2 feet in the air. "You just spoke...but not speak you spoke in my head...". "Yes Ax doesnt have a mouth so he cant speak. his people thought speek." Jake said calmly. "Now as for how we fight them. Well Ax's Older brother Elfangor gave us the morphing power to touch and become any animal we want. Its not that much but its sure helped alot."He said. "Woah morphing animals awsome!But dont these yeerks know who you are and kill you?" I asked not daring to beleive any of this. "Well they almost did find out thanks to you. Unfortunatly Tobias stopped you. Replied Marco. "heh Im sorry.. I didnt know that he was evil and you wouldnt tell me before." I said embarrased. "Well now we have a problem see. You know everything about us. The animorphs thats what were called. So if you decided to tell we couldnt let you live or get taken by the yeerks its to risky." Jake said. "Let me live?" I asked "Wh...what does that mean?" I asked getting scared. "Well we cant afford to let you become a controller. But we cant kill you either.We also are busy this week and cant think of anythin else. Since Erek has just delivered bad news.So we've decided to recruit you into the animoprhs. But you cant tell anyone anything. No one can be trusted anyone could be a human controller." Jake said continuing. "So want to fight evil ,save the world? Possibly die? Its your choice either you join us or just forget you never heard any of this". "Well its to hard to forget it. I mean even if I tried...so..When Do I start?" I asked grinning. "Right now. Ax,the morphing cube?" Jake asked the andalite ax. "Yes prince jake, It is right here" He said holding out a blue box that glowed looking like it was radiated. "Woah whats that do?" I asked looking at it. "Its the morphing cube it can give you the powers to aquire the dna of a animal and become that animal." Jake said. "Just put your hand on the square closest to you" Ax Said holding it out in his hands. "Uh..ok." I said placing my hand on the closest blue quare and holding it there like an idiot."What now?" I asked. "Thats it its done Welcome to the animoprhs." Jake replied then said "Now we have a big mission to meet erek and find out what he was telling us when you dropped in. You up for it?" he asked. "Am I ever" I said "I cant wait!"
