Hello, my name is Tobias. I know what you must be thinking: Where's Eliza? Why is Tobias writing this?

Well, to answer your questions that you might be thinking of, and in the order that I wrote them - you'll find out soon enough.

Again, you'll soon find out. Oh, and I'm in my human morph, but of course, I had to get into Eliza's room (not so surprisingly, there was nothing that indicated that she was a girly girl - no pink, no frills, ect.) to get her journal, or whatever you want to call this, and… I, well… read all that she wrote so far…

I know that I shouldn't have but - oh… wait… you don't know what had happened before I am writing this. I might as well tell you, I suppose.

But I have to tell you quickly, because I could become a human nothlit…

Alright, well, we were at war with the yeerks (when aren't we?) and we won - until we had to retreat. Visser Three had crashed our victory strike (if you want to call it that) in one of those morphs which I can never seem to name.

So, we escaped, and we seemed to repeat that for a while until we just needed to rest…

I won't forget that one time in the forest though, we were all there.

Ax, in his andalite morph, and everybody else, heard this sort of beeping sound.

He trotted over to whatever was making the noise, and everybody returned to what they were doing.

We all knew of how Eliza looked at Ax. We could all see it. It was clear as day - or however that saying goes.

We all knew of her being a reincarnation of an andalite, even Ax.

So it wasn't much of a surprise that she fell for him.

That when Ax returned and broke the "grand" news to everyone - he was engaged.

Which was ironic. His parents forced him too in a way, and within a matter of days the andalite that he was engaged to came down to Earth to meet her fiancé.

(Of course, it was a wonder how she got here so quickly.)

She told us to simply call her "Nie" - I could already tell that Eliza was heartbroken. Everyone knew that too.

We pretended to be happy for him.

I've never seen Eliza cry, nor did anybody else. We all went our separate ways, and Eliza found her way to me. She told me everything - how she felt, she loved Ax, ect. - you name it.

Then I saw it. At first I thought it was just dust in her one eye, her voice seemed to crack when she spoke of him, and then there was another sparkle - this time in her other eye.

Then she bawled.

I never seen anybody cry like that, that hard, let alone her. She was a wreck. I comforted her as best as I could, but I knew that only time would heal her broken heart - but some voice in my head just kept on saying that her heart won't heal.

That she was scarred for life. That she felt as if there was no meaning for her to keep on living - that there was almost a hundred percent chance that she'd commit suicide.

But like Rachel, she was strong. I knew that she'd pull through - as least for as long as she could.

Now I'm going to tell you what recently happened - just about a couple days ago.

We waited outside of one of those massively huge yeerk pools, when Jake suggested that one of use get aboard that ship - the same ship that held the biggest yeerk pool that anyone of us could have known.

His gaze traveled among all of the Animorphs, from me, to Cassie, to Ax, to Nie, to Marco, then Eliza, then finally Rachel, his voice seemed to crack a bit as he said her name, "Rachel?"

"I'll do it," she simply nodded, she sent a grin my way, and I simply nodded.

"You could die," Jake said, his gaze never leaving his cousins' face.

"It'll be for the good of our race," Rachel insisted.

Jake simply sighed, knowing that he wouldn't be able to change her decision.

Then, the most surprising thing happened, Eliza said: "I'll go, too."

Marco stared at her in disbelief, and Rachel and Jake simply nodded. Nie seemed to beam.

As you do not know, Nie instantly knew that Eliza had a crush on Ax and made sure to prove to her over and over again that Ax was her's and her's alone.

Ax didn't argue or agree or anything of that sort.

As they were about to aboard the ship while some Hork-Bajir were getting into it also, I could see out of the corner of my eye that Ax stared at Eliza in disbelief.

I knew right then and there that she had finally told him. That she had finally confessed that she loved him.

Then Rachel, in jaguar (don't ask me how she got it) morph, and Eliza in giskori morph, they aboard the ship.

We fought off any of our enemies that remained on the land until the last of them retreated. We looked up at the ship, it wasn't very far from the place it took off.

Then we all heard it. Rachel's almost desperate sounding plea: Get far away from here!

We didn't know what she was talking about, and stood our grounds.

We also didn't know that within the next minute, we'd find out why.

…The ship - exploded.

I thought I saw two things drop - but I just figured that it was just part of the ship. Little did I know, that it was the only two survivors.

We'd be searching for them the next entire week.
