CHAPTER 2
I knew exactly where I was going to go. I had a vision of a forest, a spot where there was a bird and a hork-bajir. I was young when I had it, yet it always haunted my mind. Now all I have to do is find it.
Where am I going?
I dont know
Then how am I getting there?
I kept these conversations going with myself in my head as I ran towards the outskirts of town.
Let me tell you, running for miles is VERY tireing.
Finally, I approached a rather large house. It had a barn behind it. It reminded me of........no, it couldnt be.
I snuck to the side of the house and into the woods. The sun began to set, so I found a cave and rested in there. I tried for 2 hours tossing and turning on the cold, hard floor. I kept hearing noises. Little voices in the distance saying tiny things like
come here and
We must talkI finally gave in and talked
"Who are you?"
......no answer
"Tell me who you are!"
Still no answer. I got up and walked out of the cave and followed the voice. Walking, walking. Louder, louder. Then when I was so close it was like I was standing by the thing that was saying this. I moved some shrubs out of my way, and I found the person.
Well, he's not a
personHe is the Ellimist.
I bowed before him, knowing he was here to help me escape this nightmare. He nodded his head. Slowly. Very,very slowly.
" You are doing good on the mission, young one."
I stood up in shock. "You mean to tell me im on some MISSION?!"
"Yes."said the Ellimist." You are to kill the 25 yeerks that live on earth."
"But why? Why me? Why not....some other 13 year old kid?" I asked. I stared at him. My eyes began to burn. I clutched my eyelids.
He laughed, then said "Figure it out "
An image appeared in my mind. The cryak's eye.
It scared me. The ellimist then vanished away.
