Chapter 3

"Quinn wake up!" Wade said as she shook me out of the dream I was having about the strange blue deer. "We have to keep on moving, if we ever want to find our way out of this forest," she said to me with a smile. "Right, where are Remmy and Professor Arturo?" I asked. "They're already ahead of us, but if we hurry we can still catch them." she said. And with that, she started pulling me in the direction that Remmy and the Professor had taken. It was not long before we met up with our other two traveling companions.

After about another hour of wandering through the forest, we came upon a farmhouse. "Thank god we are out of that blasted forest. Now maybe we could get something to eat." Professor Arturo said longingly. We walked towards the farmhouse and were passing a barn when suddenly Wade stopped. "I think I hear something," she said. I turned to listen. "I hear voices, kid's voices, coming from inside the barn. Sounds like their having an argument. I'll go in for a closer look," I said. I walked closer and peered into one of the windows until I could see them. There were five of them and they were yelling about something. I tried to make sense of what I was hearing. After about five minutes, I went back to the others and told them what I had learned.

"Apparently on this earth aliens have arrived and have started a war. There are two groups the Yeerks and the Andalites. From what I overheard from those kids is that the Yeerks are definitely the bad guys. They want to take over this earth." I said. "That's awful," Wade said. "Yes, quite unfortunate. Do you think that these Yeerks know about the other dimensions?" The Professor asked, "No I don't think so. If they did then why would they waste their time on one little planet?" I said. "Wait there's more. I know these kids are a part of this and I think that we should help them. The Professor and I will go into town and see if we can find out anything else. Remmy, you and Wade follow the kids and see if they have any more information." I said.
