Alex
We were in a bad situation. For one thing, we didn't know who the enemy was.
Which side? We couldn't see Kay anywhere in the madness, which worried me, and I know it was worrying Aerionna as well.
I linger in the doorway…
Nicole had her hands on either side of her head, pulling at her hair. She didn't know what do to anymore. None of us did. We needed to do something, and now!
Alarm clocks screaming, monsters calling my name…
"Nicole! What do we do?.!" Seth yelled, looking in and almost getting shot at again.
"Nicole, we need a plan of action!" Lily snapped, looking like she was about to do something herself.
Let me stay, where the wind will whisper to me…
"Back off! She's thinking!" I growled, going to her side and putting my hands on her shoulders. I lifted her chin, making her look up at me. Yes, up. I'd grown a little more in the past few months. But that wasn't the point right now.
"Nicole, I suggest we just go in there, and knock them out" I said in a low whisper, so only she could hear.
She just looked at me.
"It's just a suggestion. No killing until we know who is fighting who"
"Thankyou Alex" she whispered, then pushed me away to look at everyone else.
"All right, here's what we're gonna do!" She said over the screams and shouts inside "We go in hard and fast, two teams to each side, and just knock them out. Once we know who's the enemy, we hit them hard and fast. Does everyone understand me?"
We all nodded. She gave me a quick smile, then started to morph. I shifted, and soon everyone was in their chosen battle morphs.
(Okay, Aerionna, Elfangor, Cody, Toni, Zack and Lily, go left, me, Alex, Megan, Michelle, Seth and Sean, we go right. Aerionna, if you can find Kay! Does everyone know what they're doing?)
We all answered, in one word, (Yes)
(All right! MOVE!) We dove into the madness, and I darted sideways to avoid a Dracon blast before I smacked the guy over the head, knocking him out.
Soon it was up to split second timing, and my tiger speed. I caught a blur of Seth shooting past me, grabbing the gun in someone's hand, then wailing as it went off in his mouth. I heard a scream, and saw a little girl go down, a neat hole burned straight through her chest.
Has no-one told you she's not breathing…
(NO! DAMN IT!) I smacked the woman down, covering Seth as he shifted, and shifted back into a wolf.
(Thanks!)
(Just watch it next time! That little girl…)
Hello… I'm your mind, giving you someone to talk to… hello…
(I… I saw…)
(Guys keep MOVING!) Something scratched my side, and I roared and turned around to see Nicole behind me, baring her own teeth.
So I did, and pushed it with everything I had.
Then I heard a scream, and I turned my head on the other side of the pool to see Toni falling, her entire left leg shot off.
If I smile and don't, leave…
(TONI!)
(SOMEONE WATCH HER BACK!)
(On it!)
(No!)
It was madness!
Soon I know, I wake… from this dream…
Zack barrelled into the people taking aim, and then someone else was in trouble, and Toni was trying to fight more off, with Cody doing everything he could to defend her…
Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken…
A cut suddenly deep in my side! Who was who!
What the hell was going on with these people!
I smacked the other people away, slashing a Hork-Bajir leg, and moving off after my friends, who were in the same trouble I was.
(I've got 'em!) Michelle barrelled into people and aliens, sending them all flying.
(I can't find Kay! I don't know where he is!)
Hello, I'm the lie, living for you so you can hide…
(Please do not… he cannot be dead!) Aerionna was screaming in anguish.
I don't cry…
(He isn't! Just keep looking!)
(I have… he is not moving!)
(Get him out of the firing range!)
(We'll try!) Cody said, and I saw Toni was up on three legs, tossing anyone who got in her way with Cody by her side. They both barrelled along as leapt and knocked out a Chanaiben.
Suddenly I know I'm not sleeping…
(Kay! Please wake up! Please! You cannot die!)
(He's not moving! Heck, I don't even know if he's breathing!)
I felt cold and hard, knowing Kay… our friend…
Hello, I'm still here…
No…
I became a little more vicious, scratching a couple of people with my claws. I stayed far away from the younger children…that poor girl was still fresh in my mind…
Then it was suddenly over.
All that's left of yesterday…
Well, almost.
I saw Sean cornering a shaking man. He was baring his teeth at him.
(Who are you!)
"I… I am the host of Inlay-five-seven-one!" he suddenly said defiantly, and Sean pushed his face closer to the mans. I went to join him, standing to the left of him.
(Why do you call yourself a host, and not tell us who you really are?)
"Because who I used to be is meaningless! I am something with Inlay! I am someone! I am not… a nothing…"
(You weak pathetic fool!) Nicole snapped, and she was suddenly there making Sean and I back off and placing her paws on his chest (Having a Yeerk in your head makes you no more a person to these people! Why can't you see that!)
(Nicole! Back off! He's not going to change what he is) Lily was there, growling at the man (Besides, we might have another problem)
(What?)
(Kay)
Catch me, as I fall… say you're her and its all over now.
Before I knew it I'd shifted back, running over to the other side of the pool, with Sean right behind me. We got to where the others were, all themselves again, looking down to see a very beat up… and still… Kay. Aerionna was kneeling beside him, his hand in both of hers, and she was shaking. Elfangor was beside her, squeezing her shoulder a little.
Speaking to the atmosphere, no ones here and I fall into myself.
"Well, we can't do mouth-to-mouth, so… what do we do?" Megan asked from behind me.
This truth… drives me… into… madness…
(Hoof to hoof?) Cody suggested. He was still in his gorilla morph, looking morbidly at the scene in front of us.
I know I can stop the pain if I will it all away… I will it all way…
(Youngins) There was suddenly a new voice, and we turned to see an adult Andalite striding towards us. I recognised him as the guy on the bridge… Ovatt…
(Allow me to see)
We stepped aside, and Elfangor had to pull Aerionna away. He stooped down, looking carefully at Kay, his hands trailing over his sides.
Don't turn away… (don't give into it)
(Well?) Aerionna asked shakily, all four eyes on her love. Michelle, who was in front of me, turned away and buried her face in Sean's chest. I couldn't take my gaze off Ovatt and Kay…
(He is quite unwell this youngster)
Don't try to hide
Don't close your eyes (god knows what lies ahead)
Don't turn out the lights
(Yes, he has Simplav) Aerionna said shakily.
(I believe his sickness is finally setting in) Ovatt whispered, and suddenly all eyes were on him.
"You mean… he's dying now?!" Elfangor shrieked, and the rest of us weren't far behind him.
(Not now, but soon. A few more days, perhaps a little more)
We were all frozen in shock. Thankfully, the Andalites and the few humans and others still left on our side were locking the Pool doors, and putting the unconscious people in the cages again.
"I knew he shouldn't have come! I knew it!" Nicole hissed from beside me, and I tore my gaze of them to look at her. Tears were streaming down her cheeks, and her hands were balled into tight fists.
"Nikki, you didn't-"
"Shut up Lily! You don't know anything about anyone!" she snarled, walking away. I let her, knowing she needed her space. We were all shocked at this sudden news.
I'm frightened, by what I see…
But somehow I know there's much more to come…
Immobilised, by my fear…
And soon to be, blinded by tears…
"So, what do we do?" Megan asked shakily from my side. I hadn't even noticed she was holding onto my arm until I lost all feeling in it.
"There's only one thing we can do"
Everyone looked at me, and I sighed and looked down.
"We wait for the Jake with the Yeerk Peace movement"
I looked up to meet everyone's eye "Unless someone has a better idea"
There weren't any takers.
"Good, now lets get this place cleaned up before we have any more visitors"
For some strange reason, everyone, even my sisters, listened to me.
I can stop the pain if I will it all away… if I will it all away…
