Edorax (Kala's little brother)

I gazed out from my slightly crouched position underneath one of Anikala's many, many computer monitors. Normally this position would be quite difficult for an Andalite but due to my... 'condition' its an easy feat.

Sighing, I wrapped my tail around my folded legs as the cries from my... 'watchers' came closer.

Honestly Emma. When Anikala said: "Please watch Edorax for me" I doubt she meant an armed guard of Chee.

My eyes frowning I cautiously stuck one stalk eye out from underneath the table, but quickly withdrew when I saw a Chee, going by the name of 'Daniel' approach. And sighed when he walked on by.

My ears perked up on my skull when I noticed Terra and two other girls lower themselves down on 'Anikala's bedroom'. Although I didn't dare go to her, too... cautious of a scolding from all the other aliens in the room.

I exhaled through my slits and contented myself to wait. Knowing that where big sisters shorm was Kala wasn't far away... or vice versa.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA GGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HHHH!"

I pressed my palms against my ears. What was that aggravating sound?

I noticed that Anikala's lab was lowering, and I believe that my eyes seemed to 'brighten' at this, as Emma would say, when I saw my big sister among the strange human beings. Amongst them was a Spanish-American (A/N: I swear I'm not being racist, but would calling someone white be considered racist? Plus this is from an Aliens point of view so please don't flame me for being racist. *begs*) who was the one who had made the extremely aggravating sound which I believe was screaming.

My eyes were also drawn to the large older male who stood beside a shorter lighter haired boy, there was also another boy who was tryng to console the screaming boy who had what would be described as choclate, a substance I have not been able to enjoy but have heard is quite enjoyable, brown hair and eyes.

Anikala stood beside them, laughing with her eyes. She was obviously being more mature than Terra and the other flaxen haired girl whose laughter rang clearly through the air.

Noticing my chance to run to Anikala as most, if not all, of the Chees attention was no longer on finding me, I 'raced' towards my sister, limping due to my... 'condition'.

Anikala smiled, as she always does with both eyes and mouth, and bent down to embrace me as I stumbled into her arms. She embraced me warmly as she always has done, with all the gentleness I never gained from my true parents. (A/N: Edorax is adopted, more info will be added in either story or end of the ch. Also I am planning to put Bios of my OC's in my profile soon so check it out when it is updated)

"Edorax!"

Uh oh... Here comes my watchers. Or more specifically Marceline.

The 'female' Chee's holograph was that of a middle aged human female, as said before, with brown hair and acid green eyes. She was tall and gangly, at the moment her form suggested that she was aggravated.

Most likely those feelings were directed towards me.

She marched up the steps that connecter the underground meadow and Anikala's lab.

I then noticed her 'hair' almost seemed frazzled. Almost standing on end, as those felines in the 'T.V.' that me, Anikala, Emma and sometimes even Terra, watch... Please refrain from telling her I said that.

She stood in front of me and Big Sister. Her hands placed delicately apon her 'hips'.

"Do you have any idea how worried we were?" She demanded. "We've been calling you for over an hour, or is you internal clock not working correctly?"

Anikala placed herself, may I just put a stress on SHE put herself, in front of me. She reached behind herself slightly and entwined her strong human hand with my more delicate Andalite hand.

"Please," She said in a composed manner. "Refrain from speaking to Edorax in that manner. Perhaps you are being harsher than necessary. As he is only ten human years old, perhaps he was simply playing hide-and-seek?"

I scowled slightly when she called me 'only ten human years old' but consented to holding her hand.

Marceline glared, then through her hands up in the air, and stalked away.

I grinned up at Anikala but flinched when I noticed her disapointed scowl towards me. I wung my tail forward and gently tugged at the fur mounted on the end near my blade.

~Edorax? Edorax look at me!~ She bent down to crouch on her knees and lifted my head up till my acidic green eyes met her soft violet. ~Why were you hiding from Marceline? She was only doing... Why was she watching you in the first place?~

I was greatful towards the fact that she deigned it necessary to speak in private thought-speach, my embarassment at being talked down by my loving sister would be unbearable! Towards her last query I scowled. ~I a not some colt to be watched over by the Chee! I am nearly 11 human years old, why must I be treated like a newborn colt?~

Anikala flinched lightly at that and I felt bad but stood my ground. I needed to know. ~Is it because of my, condition?~ With those words I waved where my front leg should be, a sad excuse for a stump stood in its place.

Kala

If I had been hurt by his words before I was even more hurt by his enquiries now. I closed my eyes inhaled and gazed into my beloved brothers eyes and cupped his face in my hands. Instead of just in thought-speach I murmured softly with my mouth as well as I leaned in pressing my forehead towards hs forehead, jeeping our gazes locked with one another. ~"NO! Edorax, it is not your condition that causes me to be so protective towards you."~ ~"It is because of our nature to protect the ones in our herd, blood relations or not. We are family Edorax, and since I am older I am the one that needs to protect you. Altough I didn't think my words of 'please watch him Emma' would be taken so seriously. I will have to keep that in mind, next time I instruct Emma to do something for me."~

And CUT! Great work guys!

Okay first off. Edorax is disabled, a vecol, I don't think any other explanation is necessary as it will all be explained next ch!

I hope everyone had a good new years and a good Christmas!

And we're still alive! TAKE THAT MAYANS!
