Chapter 11

Tobias

Cassie and I separated from the others and moved through the masses of controllers liked we belonged.

Each tortured scream sent chills down my spine and made me want to vomit. More than ever I wished I could be back in my hawks' body where I could loose myself in the bird mind and not be bothered by the tortured screams of captured humans.

"You ready?" Cassie asked me once we were in position.

"Yeah." I said and demorphed to hawk. We would need both my eyes and wings if we wanted to get out of here alive.

Cassie and I waited in silence. She kept me out of sight as I demorphed and I kept an eye out for her as she morphed wolf after Jake's signal of Ax getting chased by Hork Bajir.

I took off into the air and watched the battle below me. Rachel was still morphing to grizzly and Marco was almost Gorilla. Jake was a full Tiger and attacked the nearest group of controllers. Cassie was now fully wolf and ran to join in the battle.

Run faster Ax they're catching up. Jake you've got three Hork Bajir advancing on your left. Rachel, Ax could use your help. I called out. Once I saw my friends were mostly ok, I joined the fight in my own way, attacking the eyes of some Hork Bajir to buy my friends some time.

I found it odd that the controllers weren't as swarming as usual. It was almost like they didn't want to hurt us. I was about to tell Jake of my assessment when the Hork Bajir I had been attacking reached up and sliced into my wing with his wrist blade.

((AAAHHH!)) I screamed. The pain was blinding and unbearable. I knew I had to find a place to demorph and fast. I meekly flapped my good wing as far as I could, but the effort was pointless. I fell to the ground and Cassie must have been near because she picked me up in her jaws.

((Ah, Hey! Watch the teeth!)) I snapped, feeling irritated.

((Sorry. Jake wants everyone out…he said-AAHH!)) Cassie was bumped and I was thrown from her jaws away from her a few good feet. I landed hard on the ground on my bad wing and felt the pain explode. My vision blurred and I heard someone in the distance call out my name. The scene around me got darker and I tried to call out to my friends, but I was too weak. The blackness was becoming more and more welcoming.

I felt myself being lifted from the ground and I could no longer keep my eyes open as I fell gratefully into the darkness, hoping my friends were ok.

I would like to thank rockergurl13, GenesisDragon, CASSIE101, and PadfootGal (thank you for the compliment. It means a lot to me to be compared to KA Applegate.)
