Chapter 5
For the next couple days I was bored out of my mind, I even was talking to my self, and replying my own questions that I was asking my self!!
Friday morning I finally decided to go to the old house and see what I could get from there and bring back, like TV, the play station and my game boy.
When I got close to my house I morphed to my human morph, Celeste, just incase one of the neighbors was home and saw some one coming into the house.
When I stepped into the house it looked just like it did when I left it Tuesday night, trashed. I found the TVs that was in James room, the only one that wasn't broken and put it into the liven room, then went into my old room and found my game boy and the games that went with it.
I had another book bag, a duffel bag almost as big as my human morph, and started to put some more stuff in it: the big CD player, CDs, play station, games, more clothing, most of them James's, photo albums, their was only two things I couldn't get into the bag, the TV. and the computer we had, It had lots of cool games that would keep me busy.
"Hello?" I was back in the back room when I herd some one had came in, I walked into the living room and one of my favorite neighbors was standing there.
"Hello, Mr. Williams." I said cheerfully, He was looking at the mess like he couldn't believe what he was looking at.
"What happened here? Do you need any help with any thing, Celeste?" He asked me, looking at the stuff on the floor.
"Yeah, I could use some help, especially with the computer and TV, the rest is in that duffel." then I asked, "How did you know I was here?"
"Well I saw someone move around the house when I drove past, and I thought I would come and see if it was one of you guys or someone trying to rip you off." He explained, then he asked, "Is any one else here?"
"No I'm the only one, James and Jammie aren't back yet, they went to check about a new house, I stayed to get the stuff and take it to the cabin that James owns." I explained, then he asked.
"Where is Kitana, I thought I herd something about her being missing?" I just looked at him and shrugged my shoulders, something I picked up from Marco.
"I don't know where she is, the cops think the people that came here might have killed her."
"Oh, You know, I was the one that called Tuesday, I didn't think the house was this messed up though, even when I heard the animal noises..."
"Yeah, I heard about that when I came back to the house and the cops were here, they let me get some stuff and I spent the night at a friends."
"So you are moving, huh?" He asked me.
"Yeah, I haven't seen the new house yet, but we are moving. James is giving his cabin to a friend of ours." He looked pretty sad, I didn't know if it was because we was moving or that there was a possibility that Kitana was dead, probably both.
"I have to use the bathroom before we start moving this stuff, ok?" I told him, I needed to demorph and remorph.
"Ok, I'll go get my older boys, they can help us so it will only take us one load to take to your cabin."
"Okay" I said walking to the master bathroom, I knew I could trust the Williams's. I knew they were not controllers and had no intention to join the Sharing, they all were too busy to do any thing else, and the sharing tock lots of you time.
When I came out Kyle and Kevin were helping their dad with stuff, they left the duffle for me to carry, I guess they wanted to take the heaver things.
I lead the way to the cabin, when we got their the boys carefully put down what they was carrying. After we talked a little while longer all three of them left,
I set up every thing after every one left. and started to play on the computer instantly. I had an extra monitor at the house so I could see what damage had been done to my computer. It looked like every thing was fine.
When I was done messing around on the computer I went out into the meadow near the cabin to eat and drink.
When we came back I got this weird felling that someone else was there at the cabin.
I stepped out of the trees a bit and started to look around, I didn�t see anything right away. So I took a chance and tried to talk to however was out here.
I said, and I saw who it was. It was Heather. She was behind a bush near the cabin. I walked up to her and saw that she was badly hurt. I thought that it was a good idea to go into my morph Celeste. When I was done morphing she had her mouth hanging open and she was very surprised.
"H-h-h-how did you do that? Who are you and what did you do to Celeste?!" she said trying to talk.
�I am Celeste Heather.� I said trying to calm her down. �What happened to you? You are pretty cut up, come inside I have a first aid kit in my cabin.� I started to walk inside and when we were inside she asked, �You still didn�t answer my question, who are you� I looked down, trying to figure out what to say to her. I looked back at her and went to get the first aid kit. I pulled up a chair to the couch and she sat down and pulled up her sleeve on the army jacket she was wearing.
�I�ll tell you who I am if you tell me what happened to you.� I told her and started to clean her up some. It looked like she had already cleaned out most of her cuts before she found this place.
"Well, I guess it started when I got home form school, mom was home today when I got home and she had told me that both of us was going to go to her meetings that she goes to. I was very curious so I went and got my jacket and we left," She took a deep breath as I pored the peroxide on one of her deepest cuts that she had, then she continued "I was busy looking out the window and listen to the music that mom let me put on, the next thing I knew, I heard the screech of tires and I saw a car comin' right at us, we hit and I hit my head hard on the windshield. When I woke up the car was on fire so I broke a window and got out before it exploded. Then I ran out here in the forest, found the river and cleaned my self up and tried to stop the bleeding so I wouldn't bleed to death. Then found this place, you and the other one that stayed outside." She paused for a second and then continued, �Now it�s your turn. Who and what are you. How did you know my name and how did you make yourself look like Celeste?� I looked at her arm.
"My name is Allaran; I'm an Andalite. I crashed here about 5 years ago. I wanted to learn more about this planet so I created a female morph, Celeste is a morph of mine, morphing is a technology that my race invented, it lets us blend in to any world." I explained to her.
"So that's what an Andalite is, but why would my mom know about you?" Now it was my turn to look surprised, "How did you know the word Andalite?" I asked her.
"Monday mom came home kinda mad, I read her mind and she was thinkin' 'Stupid Andalites now the Visser is mad at me.�� Then she looked at me to explain.
"Well, you know about her second voice, I guess its time you know what its about. Your mother is what we call a controller; she has a Yeerk in her head. The Yeerks are a race of body invaders, they craw into the brain through the ear and take over the host, from that time on the body is completely controlled by the Yeerk, the host can't do anything but watch what is going on around him or her. My race has been fighting the Yeerks for a long time, even before I was born, that is why I'm here, I was in a fight in orbit of this planet when my engines were shot and I lost control of my fighter, I crashed in the ocean and I have been living here since." I put a fresh bandage on her arm with the deepest cut on it.
"Okay that explains that, but what is a "Visser"?" She asked me
"A Visser is a higher-ranking Yeerk, the boss. Not the nicest guy in the world, the Visser here is Visser three, the Visser�s rank is a pretty high one, he only has two others over him. Then its the Council of Thirteen, they are the highest of all, but Visser Three is taking over the invasion now. Visser One was here but they needed her somewhere else so she disappeared, I believe that your mother�s Yeerk had to also disappear, and the car crash was her way of going away without a lot of people wondering where she had gone." I got up and went to the frig and poured some Orange Juice for Her, then I walked back to where she was sitting and gave her the glass.
"Here drink this, you need to get your strength back." I told her, she tuck the glass and drank it slowly, when she was done she asked, "But why bring me into the car if she knew it was goin' to crash?" I looked at her thinking about what she had asked me.
"I think it was because you knew too much. It was either make you one of them or kill you, they don't want any one to know there are here. They have the element of surprise and they want to keep it like that for now." I paused for a second, I had to demorph. I had spent a lot of time in it while I was talkin� to her. "I have to go back to my real form, before the two hours are up, or I'm trapped in this morph." I told her, then I started to demorph. When I was done I went to one of the back rooms and came back with some clean clothing. I came back out and handed her a nightgown. I gave them to her and when she went back to one of the back rooms I noticed that either one of her knees or both was troubling her.
When she came back out we talked for a while before I asked her an important question.
I told her, she looked like she was thinkin about it.
"Yes I want to help. And I have a question, because I don't really know if you are male or female, I admit I'm not an expert at aliens." I laughed a bit, I knew I was forgetting something, and answered her.
she looked at the floor a bit embarrassed. I said answering that question.
I told her, she nodded her head and I tuck her to one of the bed rooms,
I told her and left her alone so she could get some sleep.
I woke up early the next morning and went out to eat for a while. When I came back Heather was outside.
I said to her, running up to her, she just grinned.
�Its afternoon now Allaran.� She said smiling. I nodded.
She nodded her head.
"Yep and our little crash is all over the news, they want to know who was in the cars." Allaran nodded, I told her.
"Ahh I see, well now they have said what cars was involved, and they want any one that knows who drives those kinds of cars to see if that person is home." Then she paused, "Marco knows my mom drives a Cutlass, he will probably call my house, or go to my house either way he will not find me there." I nodded.
she nodded
�We left right after I got home.� She told me.
I told her and went into my male morph.
"While I'm gone you can use the computer if ya want, the computer I have has Windows 95, and the Internet. Just watch what you say to others ok?" She nodded and I headed inside to get some decent clothing on and some shoes. I came back out and walked towards the city.
