The Dream

Around the time we located where Rachel lived, darkness had began to fall.

Don't bother asking why it took us so long to find her house.

Cassie and I said our good-byes and I raced towards my house.

I ran up the driveway, unaware of the sky changing colors as the sun was setting.

Silence welcomed me when I yanked open the door.

Meow!

I nearly jumped out of my socks when I had taken off my sneakers. I flicked on the light and stared at the Siamese fixed tom.

"Hey, Shadow, my little fur ball," I said happily, bending down to pet him. Purrs erupted from his throat. I let out a soft laugh.

But I felt uneasy. Like something really bad or really important was going to happen. I decided to shrug it off.

I sprinted towards my room and quickly changed into my Scooby-Doo pyjamas.

I sprang onto my bed, and pulled the covers around me. As soon as my head hit the pillow, I fell into a deep sleep, a very deep sleep...

KA-BOOM!

Sparks flew when the blast hit the ship. The ship rocked with the force of the hit.

I slammed against the side of my ship, my tail blade sliced through some wires.

My side ached where I had slammed into the ship, but I didn't care. No, I didn't care at all. All I cared about was to live. To survive.

My hooves clattered on the metal floor as I raced through the ship.

Run! Run! Run! I had caught myself thinking as I dashed through the ship, trying to find the escape pod.

KA-BOOM!

I slammed into the wall again, one of my eye stalks ached from the rough landing.

I struggled to my hooves, and desperately made my way to the voice transmitter box.

Elibanas-Ilanakigor-Ailinefori? A voice asked as soon as I activated the transmitter.

Yes, it is me. I replied, my thought spoken words shook as I answered with my telepathic communication that all of us Andalites have.

I rapidly typed in the password for the channel for communication.

You took longer to report than usual, Princess. Came the reply from the other Andalite.

I laughed, but my laugh was cut off short as soon as another blast hit the side of my ship.

Princess, what is going on there? Asked the Andalite.

The Yeerks - they have attacked the other Andalites here, including myself. I replied, obviously in a hurry.

Elibanas, you must get to the escape pod! The other Andalite thought-spoke in a rather worried tone.

KA-BOOM!

I slammed against the transmitter as yet another blast struck the ship.

I know. I replied before a loud groan sounded from the area the beam had hit.

What was that? Asked the other Andalite.

I'm sorry, but I must go. Now. Or else I may die. With those last thought-spoken words I ended the communication and rather quickly, I dashed towards where I was sure the escape pod awaited me.

KA-BOOM!

Another loud groan exploded throughout the ship. Finally, I saw it. The entrance to the escape pod.

Quickly, I squeezed myself into the pod. I slammed down onto the "Launch" button and braced myself.

I gazed sadly towards my ship as it blew up, sending parts of the space shuttle everywhere.

I suddenly felt mad, very mad. At the Yeerks. They caused me great anger. If I had been in Giskori (My very own creation, so your NOT allowed to use it in your stories without my permission first!) morph, I would have probably changed to the Giskori's skeleton form.

A flashback of the Giskori played in my mind. They were such gentle creatures, but yet the most violent, yes, they were very violent. I had been lucky not to have fallen prey to the Giskori when I had found it, and acquired its morph, for the Giskori is the natural enemy of us.

I eyed the Yeerk's ship that had blasted mine to smithereens. Curse the Yeerks, curse them all.
