But I will get to readin them, okay?

Okay!

Now, onwards!

"IM GONNA KILL YOU!"

"CATCH ME FIRST!" I ran, leaping awkwardly and snagging a branch, hauling myself up then starting to climb.

We'd finally managed to get away from everything and everyone, ending up skidding and almost crashing into a tree deep in the forest. Inches away, to be exact.

So now mister grumpy pants was chasing after me, trying to get his hands around my throat.

No idea why though. I mean, I thought I drove pretty well...

For a bat.

I climbed higher, looking back down to see the other Animorphs demorphing, and Pilot following me up the tree, his face..

Well, it was kinda red.

Wonder why?

As I got to the higher branches I started to demorph, knowing my time was running out.

(Dax, you have- oh, never mind then) Ax's voice rung through my head as my limbs shrunk at horrid speeds, and I fell a little. I saw Pilot smile, trying to grab me, but I scrabbled upwards again, just out of his grasp again, going faster now I was smaller, and the tree branches were thinner.

Soon, I took to the sky, yelling (How ya gonna kill me now!)

"OH YOU JUST WATCH ME!" He roared, then I saw him morphing.

Uh-oh.

Ooooh I just had to forget he could morph too didn't I?

Dammit! Now I was really dead!

I flapped my little wings, trying to find a good place to land and morph something that could kick his ass, hearing him laughing his head off...soon in thought speak.

I turned back, squeaking when I saw he was a bald eagle, knowing I shouldn't have pushed the guy.

IT WAS ALL IN GOOD FUN! WHY COULDNT THE GUY JUST LAUGH!

Yeeesh!

Stupid... sourpuss...

I flapped on, looking around, barely aware that there was something else up there with us.

Something that...really shouldnt have been there.

Well...it did...just...

(Dakota, you picked the wrooong day to mess with me!)

(Why are you always taking your problems out on meeee!) I whined, knowing he was getting closer. I flapped on, and... then it occured to me...

(Pilot?)

(What!)

(We have uh... follower)

He looked, seeing the golden eagle which seemed to be heading our direction.

(He's probably coming here to eat you!)

(Pilot! Use your head!)

(I am! And that guy looks hungry for bat meat!)

(PILOT IM SERIOUS HERE!) I snapped, (Look at the way he's flying... by the looks of it hes coming after you)

(What?)

Oh, so now he got it?

(He's coming at you...not me)

(Uh...weird) He muttered. Then it hit me.

(DAVID!)

(What? Finally noticed me bat boy?)

(What are you doing back here! I thought-)

(Ah, all this time I thought it was Rachel, now... I know its you) David snickered, still going at Pilot. Very soon they'd meet...

Dammit! I just knew this was going to end up one big ugly mess!

I noticed Pilot climbing higher, realising what he was up to. Sadly so did David, and he started getting higher and higher too. And all I could do was watch!

(Get the others or something. I'll handle him)

(Ah bullshit! I aint leavin you here to take him)

(What are you gonna do as a bat? Squeal in his ear?)

Well...he had a point.

Still.. didn't mean I was gonna leave the idiot to fight off the guy who was originally after me in the first place.

I mean... I felt kinda rejected here.

I flapped away, not really getting anywhere as the two birds rose high in the air.

(Dammit!)

(Told you!)

(I aint a quitter!)

(Oh so now you become brave)

(What the hells that sposed to mean!)

(Nevermind, just... get outta here will ya?)

(Oh for fucks sake just stop playin the hero you moron! You can't take him alone!)

(Just watch me!)

(I am! And everything in me tells me youre a MORON!)

(For the last time-) He cut off as David somehow managed to get the upper hand, diving. All I could do was watch as they fell, fighting and pecking at each other, using their talons to slice and dice each other.

How the hell was I gonna help him?

I had no bloody clue.

Then it hit me.

Morph of course!

But...what?

I was busy running through my list of possible morphs, when I felt something hit my face. I blinked, then saw Pilot starting to freefall, David floating lazily down after him.

(You're next little bat boy!)

(PILOT!)

Nothing.

(Fucking monkey mother-just... goddaaaammiiiit!) I screeched, flapping down after him as he passed me, looking pretty beat up.

(PILOT WAKE UP!)

Still nothing.

(FUCKING MORON!)

(DAX! PILOT WHERE ARE YOU TWO!)

(TOBIAS!)

I couldnt think now... I just...morphed...

Soon, my mad little flap kinda thing downwards turned more into a dive, and I managed to grab Pilot by the back, flapping and straining with all I had.

The strain on my newly formed wings almost killed me, but I managed to do it.

Barely inches from the ground.

GO ME!

(Damn Pilot... youre heavy)

(Aint) He whispered, and if I could have I would have rolled my eyes. I dropped him into a soft bit of meshy stuff on the grass, knowing I'd probably knocked him out again, but not caring as I took to the sky again.

Golden eagles were kinda fun to be honest.

Must be why David was one.

(DAKOTA WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU!) Tobias snapped.

(Well, if you must know, I'm one of the golden eagles youre probably now seeing) I said as David realised I was coming after him.

(And...whos the-)

(Take a guess) I growled.

(Maybe next time) David suddenly took off, and I was right after him, seeing Tobias had joined us.

We flew and flew, until David dissapeared into some kind of crowded place. We couldnt follow him.

(Dammit!)

(Nothing we can do) Tobias muttered.

(I know...better get back before Pilot becomes a nothlit) I grumbled.

I demorphed, feeling exhaustion creep through my whole body, turning...bat butt...and following Tobias back to the others.

The sun was starting to set as I saw Pilot, stil a bird, my heart leaping to my chest, wondering for a split second if he was still alive or not...

And then I saw...

(Is that...)

(Charlie)

(Damn dog) I muttered, flapping down and landing on a tree branch above them as he sniffed Pilot. I felt Tobias land beside me.

(Bad dog! Pilots not a play thing...or food! Bad!)

(Uh...Dax, I don't think the dogs gonna lis-)

Suddenly the dog looked up. And I swear... it looked like he was looking right at me.

(Um... Tobias?) I was kinda freaked out.

(Do not fear, I won't harm your friend)

(AAAH!) I shrieked, loosing my footing and crash landing on the ground.

THE DOG JUST FREAKIN TALKED!

(Oh good) Was all Tobias had to say.
