The Talk

Jake had called us together at Cassie's barn. He had told us that we were planning to attack the yeerks.

"So, does anybody got any new morphs?" he asked, leaning against something - I couldn't see what.

"I… err… have a morph, but I wouldn't exactly say that it's um… new…" I stuttered.

I seen her morph into it. It's… scary looking. Tobias shuddered.

"It is not!" I yelled at him.

Is too!

"Is not!"

Is too!

"Is not!"

"Will you two just shut up and Eliza - can you show us the morph?" Jake sighed.

"Um, alright," I said. Thankfully I was wearing my morphing suit - again.

I morphed as quickly as I could, and Tobias just looked away, and kept on 'saying' how he had already seen me morph.

By the time I finished they all stared at me before Marco could finally mutter, "Holy crap."

I'm not quite sure what Ax said, but I know it was an Andalite swear.

He was in his human morph in case Cassie's parents walked in.

Ax, don't say that! I practically yelled at him in thought-speak.

"But… the Giskori and Andalites are-" He began.

Enemies, yeah, yeah, I know that! Giskori hunt down Andalites, so what? I can control this! For some reason I couldn't yell at him.

"Eliza, you're causing a riot. Just shut up and let us morph so that we can go kick the yeerk's… do that have butts?" Jake trailed off.

My ears twitched and I heard footsteps, frantically I leaped of Tobias and out of the window.

Just then Cassie's mom walked in, "Do any of you want snacks?"

"I'd have a cinnamon bun!" Ax said.

"Alright, Phillip," she sighed, "Anybody else want something? And where is Eliza? And why is that hawk out in the open?"

"Um… mom… could you just go get us those snacks, now?" Cassie suggested.

"Alright," she replied before walking away. I leaped once more over Tobias and sat on the floor.

"How did you get that morph?" Ax turned to me.

Something in my heart told me that I couldn't lie to him, I let out a heavy breath, I'm a reincarnation.

"Of who?" They asked altogether.

Someone named… Elibanas-Ilanakigor-Ailinefori. I replied.

Silence filled up the barn, I added, But everybody else had called me 'Princess'…

Silence filled the room once more and I looked at them, wondering what their reaction would be. Tobias was calmer than all of them, because he had already heard it all before.
