Chapter 7
The next morning when I woke up I found that Allaran had went and got my stuff from my old house so I would have more clothes and other personal things, he even got my files off my computer.
It didn’t take long to do all the stuff that needed to be done, we just put my clothing away and put the posters up in my new room.
After that was done Allaran showed me more about morphing. When we got farther out Allaran started my training.
We were out away from the cabin and I just had my morphing suite on.
I got ready to morph to my lion. I thought about the lion that I acquired at the gardens, and suddenly the changes begin, my arms had tan fur on them and they were starting to look more like paws. My legs were shorting a bit and my knees changed directions. I fell forward and was standing on all fours then I felt the lions mind with mine. I stood there looking at Allaran for a bit wondering if he was food to me or if I was food for him, but soon I got control over the lion’s instincts.
I told Allaran then jumped up the tree next to me, then jumped off. Allaran laughed silently in my head.
I asked while I was jumping around Allaran.
He told me. He was looking at me with his stalk eyes so he could watch me jump around.
Allaran asked me, I was having lots of fun jumping from the ground to a tree back to the ground then jump to the next tree. When he asked me I stopped for a second and looked at his main eyes and nodded my head. Then I was back at jumping around. He started to laugh again and then got serious.
I stopped jumping and stood in front of him.
I said when I was totally calmed down.
He said with a slight laugh.
I asked him, if I was human I would have put my hands on my hips while saying that, but since I was a Lion I just looked at him with as much annoyance as I could. He just nodded and laughed a bit more. After he got more serious he started to go into his Lion morph and showed me some moves that a Lion could do to hurt their attacker, then we headed back to the cabin.
The next morning I got up really early so I headed outside for a while and I found out that I even got up before Allaran. There wasn’t much light out just enough that I could make out where Allaran was sleeping. I sat down with my back up against the cabin and then started to do some thinking. The last couple of days have been I guess a shock to me, but for some reason they weren’t as much as a shock as I thought they would have. I started to think about the accident that I had almost 4 years ago like I have many times before, trying to remember my past that I knew must have the answers to all my questions about what really happened. I was told that I had ran away from home, and I was found by a hiker in the woods in a coma, they figured I had fell down the hill I was laying at the bottom of. But it always bothered me that I couldn’t remember anything before that. I have always wondered why I ran away or what my life had been like before the accident, like who was I friends with and what happened to my father. My mother didn’t talk about him and I don’t know if he and her are devoiced or if he is dead. I then started to think about what happened just the past couple of days, like when I first morphed my first two morphs, I kinda felt that it was natural in some way. It just didn’t make any sense to me that it would, it was just the felling I got.
I looked up and there stood Allaran, he had one of his many fingered hands outstretched to help me up from my sitting position. I took it and when I had gotten on my feet I had realized that one of my legs had gone to sleep on me. I started to fall forward but Allaran seeing me lose my balance put both of his hands on my shoulders to keep me from falling. I looked at him smiling; man I loved it when he put his hand on me, or any other little excuse we had to touch.
Just then I realized that his hold on me had weakened, I looked at him and he looked kinda spaced out. Then it hit me. I was acquiring him! I immediately broke the connection I had on him and I fell backwards hitting my back on the cabin.
“Allaran, I’m sorry. I… I didn’t mean too…” I stopped; I didn’t know how to apologize to something to this. Allaran looked like he was starting to come out of his trance and I went inside of the cabin and lay on the couch. I lay there for a while thinking about what had just happened and I hoped that he wasn’t mad at me. I really didn’t know that just thinking about him like that would start the acquiring. After a couple of minutes he came in, he was in his human morph, witch made sense there wasn’t much room in the cabin for him to be walking around in his Andalite form. He moved to the end of the couch and I moved my legs closer to my body so he could sit down. For a couple of minutes we sat there in silence. Finally Allaran spoke up.
“I’m not mad at you if that is what you are worried about.” I looked at him kinda shocked, but then remembered that he was a telepath.
“I guess I knew that, but I was still worried that you would be, I just didn’t realized what was going on and kinda got weirded out by it. I’m sorry about what happened out there, It’s just when you were holding me up I started to think about how I thought it was nice to have you touch me like that…” I told him, I looked up and I saw a slight smile on his usually serous face, it looked strange for it to be there in a way. Then his smile widened a bit more.
“Hey you want to go for a run?” I just looked at him confused for a minute.
“Come on don’t tell me you aren’t at least one bit curious about your new morph. Come on lets go out for a run I’ll show you about my race, I know about yours. I see it as a fair trade.” I looked at him and smiled and nodded my head.
We headed out of the cabin and started to walk a little ways then Allaran stopped and started to demorph. I thought about Allaran again and the first thing that happened was that an extra set of legs started to grow out of my chest. Then patches of blue fur started to grow all over my body. I was watching my arms and hands turn blue and grow extra two fingers on each hand when my stalk eyes popped out of my head and suddenly I could see in all directions at once. It was an overload for my brain at first but then the Andalite mind joined mine and I started to make sense of it all. I looked over at Allaran with one of my stalk eyes.
I told him when I was done.
Allaran and I started to run out to where Allaran was talking about. We jumped over fallen logs and tiny streams with ease. I was having a lot of fun being an Andalite, and I got used to it very quickly. When we got to the spot Allaran wanted to show me I looked around and found that he was right it was so beautiful. Allaran started to morph to human when we got there so I demorphed just to make sure I didn’t go over the time limit.
“I like to come here to think a lot.” Allaran said when he had finished morphing. I finished a couple seconds after Allaran, I was starting to get faster and Allaran must have noticed it too.
“Hey you are getting faster; you are almost as fast as me.” He said with a smile.
“Yeah I am. This place is really nice.” I said as I sat down on the grass near a tree. He sat down besides me. We just sat there for a while in silence just taking in the beauty of it all; finally after a couple of minutes Allaran broke the silence.
“What were you thinkin about when I woke up this morning? You looked like you were really deep in thought.”
“I was thinkin about how my life had changed and I was trying to remember about my past. I know you can’t help me with that you didn’t know me till we moved to this town, but I know there must be something in my past that will help me striating something out. I feel like what is happening now is not a big surprise, after you told me about the Yeerks I started to get the feeling that I knew about them already, it may have been that I heard the word from mom’s Yeerk, but I am not sure. I don’t think that is where I heard it from though.” Allaran just sat there and thought about that.
“Hey do you want to go and see James and Jammie or Jamil I should say we don’t need to keep callin her by her human name anymore she and James moved Wednesday.”
“Yeah I would love and go see them it’s been a while since I have seen them.”
“Ok well morph your eagle we are going to have to fly there.” Allaran started to morph and I waited till he got into his Andalite form till I started to morph. I wanted to see how fast I could morph compared to him. I started to morph as fast as I could and I got done about two seconds after him.
Allaran commented after I was done morphing.
Allaran and I flew for a while. I flew behind him a bit and up higher so it didn’t look like we were flying together. When we got to James’s new house we flew down and was met by James. He was sitting on a lawn chair when we had gotten there and he looked surprised to see two Eagles landing in his yard.
“Allaran is that you? Who is your friend?” James asked after we had landed. Allaran started to demorph and I was right behind him, this time I finished at the same time Allaran did. James looked at me then to Allaran.
“Okay… am I missing something here?” James said finally. Allaran nodded his head.
He asked.
“She is around here somewhere. JAMIL!!.” James yelled. After a couple of minutes a purple Andalite came running out of the woods behind the house. She stopped not far from Allaran and they touched tail blades. She looked over to me and gave me a side ways look.
she said excitedly and we started to walk out to where her “scoop” was.
“Hey what is a scoop?” I asked when we got out to the woods.
She had stopped again to let me catch up to her again for the fourth time since we started.
“Yeah I have the morphing power. And I do have a really fast morph.” She smiled with her eyes.
she boasted. I smiled and started to morph Allaran. After I was done she was looking at me wide eyed and I could tell she was stunned. She just stood there looking at me weirdly, or at least I thought she was.
I looked down to the ground.
with that we were running threw the forest to where her little scoop was. We got there and I demorphed. She still looked at me strangely for a while and after a while she looked at me.
“Oh… how do I do that?”
She explained. I walked up to her and put my hand on her shoulder and started to contrite on Jamil. After I acquired her I started to think about what I wanted my morph to look like. The second I started to think about it a picture just popped into my head. So I tried it out. I started my morph and I felt more at home with it than I did with the Allaran morph I had. It was basically the same but I had better balance and my tail blade was smaller.
Jamil told me. I nodded.
Jamil laughed in my head.
she asked me.
she started to tell me things about tail fighting, and taught me what all the things in her scoop were and what they represented, and even how to eat throw my hooves. While Jamil and I were eating I got a flash of an image of a different scene, I was running on blue grass, there were some parts of the grass that were red. The image left as quickly as it had came and I just shrugged it off.
After we were done we heard Allaran call us from the house so I demorphed and remorphed and we headed back to the house. When we got to the house Allaran saw me and almost had a heart attack, his eyes got huge and he just stared at me for a good couple of minutes. I took that as time to go back to my human self and he relaxed when he saw it was indeed me.
“Jamil helped me make a female morph, she pointed out that it was a bad idea to have two of you running around.” I told him after I was done demorphing. He nodded.
Allaran and I morphed to our eagle morph and flew home. When we got home we talked for a while and we went to bed.
