Chapter 4
Pablo
My name is Pablo, and I'm the biggest coward on earth so when Lisa suggested that we should protect the earth I was about to have a heart attack.
"Are you Loco?" I said. "We can't save the world save the world, we're only twelve"
"I know it's dangerous but who else can do it?" Said Lisa. "We can't tell the police or the CIA cause they might already be controllers, besides even if they aren't they're no match for the Yeerks unless they can morph too.
"She has a point" Said Michael. "We're the only people who can stop them; if anything goes wrong we can morph and get out of trouble"
"I agree, besides this might be fun" Said Ben,
"Putting our lives in danger is fun!" I replied. I knew I wouldn't win this argument but I wanted to keep talking. "Am I the only one with common sense? We're not even old enough to drive, and we can't defeat the Yeerks with just one animal!"
"Well first of all," Said Ben. "I might not be old enough to drive but that doesn't mean I can't"
"And second, did you forget my mom owns a zoo?" Lisa Said. "We can touch all the animals we want"
I was losing this argument pretty bad so I decided to agree with them. "Okay you won, so when do we start?"
"Tomorrow." Said Michael after we get some rest we'll go to the zoo and find some animals we want to become."
"Then what?" I asked.
"Then we wait for anything out of the ordinary to happen. Now I'm getting some sleep I've had a long day and I'm very tired"
I was too so I said goodnight to my friends and went to sleep. I had a dream about what happened when I was 6, I was in my uncle's pool and I fell off the diving board and bumped my head, I passed out for a while and when I woke up I was at home on my couch My parents told me I was unconscious for 5 hours. Ever since that day I've always been very cautious and scared all the time. I've been having the same dreams for 2 years and it's starting to get very annoying, I just hope it doesn't get in the way of saving the world. When I woke up me and Ben were the only ones in the room. "Where is everyone?" I asked.
"They're downstairs getting food after that we're heading to the zoo." Ben said.
"How come you're not downstairs with them?" I asked.
"I'm not hungry"
Ben's eyes were red like he hadn't slept at all. "Did you get any sleep last night? I asked.
"No, I was too worried about my dad to sleep."
"I know how you feel," I replied. "But don't be worried, that's my job" We both started laughing and then turned on the TV, the news was on. We saw something very shocking. "The same Animorphs that have protected us from harm are now destroying property, buildings, and lives." Said the woman on the news. Me and Ben looked closely at the TV and saw a Tiger and Gorilla attacking people, and a hawk scratching people with its sharp talons.
"Oh my God!" Said Ben. "We have to tell Lisa and Michael about this."
We rushed downstairs to tell the others, I couldn't believe what I saw, I was ready to faint.
