Chapter 8

-Michael

While I was walking to wherever my parents were taking me I started to get second thoughts. "Dad, are you sure you want to take me to Visser Three?"

" I'm not your father, I'm just using his body, and yes I'm taking you to Visser Three "

" And don't try any morphing or we'll kill your little buddy following us! Said Marco.

"What buddy?" I asked. Marco pointed at me and I saw a fly resting on my shoulder.

" Uh-oh the fly said.

"Pablo? What are you doing here?" I asked

" Making up for not being there to help out at the zoo " He said " Besides, there's no way you're going to destroy the Yeerek pool by yourself "

I was about to tell him not talk about the plan in front of the controllers but then I remember, he's using thought speak so only I could hear him. "Do the others know you're here?"

" No they would've wanted to come, and I wanted to do something right on my own for once "

" If you want to talk then demorph, we don't want you two doing any plotting. " Tobias said.

Pablo flew off my shoulder and demorphed, and then our parents tied his hands up like they did to with me. After walking through the forest for 30 minutes we arrived at a Burger King. Our parents demorphed and walked inside, we followed them.

"Welcome to Burger king, how may I help?" The Cashier said.

"We need a double cheeseburger with extra cheese." Marco said.

"Extra cheese?" The Cashier said.

"Yes" Replied Marco

The Cashier pointed to the girl's bathroom and that's where we went. My mom flushed one of the toilets and a the wall opened up revealing a huge room filled with controllers and Hork Bajirs, and at the center of the room was the Yeerek pool.

"Keep moving!" My mom shouted and we entered the room. Marco pushed us right in front of the Yeerek pool.

"Jump in!" He commanded.

"Did I forget to mention I can't swim very well?" Pablo said

"I said Jump in!"

He was about to push Pablo in but I got in his way and fell into the Yeerek pool. The water was very hot and uncomfortable. When I got out I didn't feel any different but I still might be infected now.

"It takes a while for the Yeerek to gain control over you!" My dad said. "Give it about 10 minutes, then you'll be under Yeerek control."

"PABLO RUN!" I shouted. Pablo pushed his dad into the pool and ran out the room. I thought he was leaving but then 3 minutes later he came back as a panther.

" I called the others on my cell phone, they're on their way! " He said

"Why did you come back?" I asked.

" I'm not leaving without you we're, going to go through with this plan. "

"You need to leave!" I said "I can already feel The Yeerek drilling into my brain." Then I morphed into a bobcat. " What, I didn't want to morph "

" But I wanted you too. " Said a voice in my head. " I know what you're thinking; I gained control faster than you thought I would.

"What are you going to do?" I asked. Then I pounced at Pablo, knocking him to the ground.

I bet that wasn't the answer you expected. the voice said.
I raised my paw to strike Pablo in the face but then a bear tackled me to the ground.

" Michael, what are you doing? " Lisa said.

" Michael isn't here anymore " I said. Now he's making me say stuff. I couldn't control myself anymore. I was a controller.
