Chapter 10

I stood there, staring in horror at Legolas' body, which now lay motionless on my floor. I wanted to scream but couldn't. I no longer controlled my body. I felt the fear rise within me as I heard the laughter from within my own head.
That was too easy, the Yeerk said.
What do you want with him? I demanded.
Visser One is curious about our new visitor. I think he would also be greatly interested in this Ring of Power.
You can't!
I won't. Yet. Not until Visser One administers the Kandrona supplement to me.
So you're dependent on the Kandrona for survival? I smiled inside. This Yeerk was vulnerable.
Don't expect your friends to save you before then. Once I have delivered him to Visser One I will be immune to Kandrona starvation. The Yeerk took out a communication device and spoke into it. "This is Ramah-Nine-Eight-Six reporting. I have the being in custody. Requesting immediate transport."
The Yeerk called Ramah stood outside on the porch waiting for the pick-up crew to come get us. A large unmarked van pulled into the yard and two Controllers got out and went upstairs. A moment later, they came out carrying a still unconscious Legolas. He was handcuffed and placed in the back. We drove to one of the newer hidden entrances of the Yeerk pool located in a hangar at an abandoned air base. He was taken to one of the cells and chained to the wall. Visser One took the liberty of building a dungeon to hold his prisoners. Especially when I was his host. I only hoped the others would be able to tell I was a Controller before it was too late and someone else got hurt.
