"Yeerks. Ah." Derrel said. He leaned towards Debra and whispered to her. "Are we supposed to know what Yeerks are?"

"I don't know. Chad never mentioned anything about Yeerks."

"Maybe it's a special psychic term?"

"Just ask her."

"Ms. Headmistress, what is a Yeerk?" He said out loud.

Ryan and Hector

Slept like babies. Ah, this was awesome. Now, what to torture Sierra with? Make her lick their shoe? No..no...

"Let's get her to kiss someone." Ryan pointed to a picture from a group photo. "How about that girl?" Hector shook his head. "No."

They looked at each other. "Why not a controller?" The twins burst into laughter. "Hehehe....oh, that is a brilliant idea."

[Galladerotom]

The Headmistress
"You haven't been listening a yeerk is a slug like being of extraterrestrial origions they controll a host's through it's Brain they already have several other specices under their heel. Both of you work for star enterprises, I am afraid that the yeerks have taken the company and its leader. You see the yeerks are slowly taking over the company employee by employee and it will not be too long before they take you and if they have you they have what you know about our school and if the yeerks were to know about the school they would do anything to destroy it and take the students as hosts. As telepathic adepts we would be catastrophic to their organization as enemies but as their slaves our abilities would only strengthen their empire that is why I ask you to quit your jobs I will personally help you find an organization that would welcome your technical expertise."

[Chad32]

"I suppose that won't be too big of a hassle." Derrel said. "We already quit our original jobs in America before moving here."

"As long as we get new careers to keep paying the bills with, I'm fine with quitting." Debra said. "I'm more worried about the idea of Chad fighting these Yeerks. We sent him here to help control his abilities, but weren't intending him to fight wars."

[Galladerotom]

The Headmisstress
"We are here today because young men and women alike fought for our freedom against the Nazis and the Soviets alike and the yeerk's have declared war on earth and Chad's abilities I am afraid means that he and others of his prowess will have to fight against the yeerks." the headmistress was concerned with what she was saying especially at the word "Soviets". Was she draging the students into a war they didn't have to fight? No the cold war wasn't a direct threat. This concerned the planet and human kind. When they needed to fight second world war psychics were the most successful of british spies. She remebered the day after her father's funeral...

It was a bright and sunny day but the sun was hardly suited to the occasion and her mother was visting relatives leaving the middle aged nanny Bella took care of her. "Bella." the nanny turned around understanding in her eyes "I think I killed dady I saw everything in his head I think I may have made him go mad." The nanny was shocked but only mildly "It wasn't your fault your abilities were out of controll." the headmistress at her age was perplexed "Abilities?" the nanny explanied "Some people have the ability to know what others are thinking sometimes these abilities emerge very quickly and people don't know how to handle it." "You mean I have these abilities." "Yes some people can read others minds and some like me can even move things with our minds." the dollhouse floated in midair slowly went over to the other side of the room and back. "I can also see what is in people's heads like you once I even caught a german spy during the war I was actually a nurse. So once you have controll over them your abilities can help people."...

from that day forward Bella the nanny helped her controll and use her abilities until the day came where the headmistress came to the school that she would later lead.

"Chad isn't old enough to go to war. He's only sixteen." Debra said, though she knew she was just grasping at straws. "He has to wait almost two years, until he's eighteen."

"Yeah, sure thing Mom. But how will we get the Yeerk general to postpone the invasion for a year an a half?"

"That's too long a wait. besides, Chad is pretty mature for his age." Derrel said.

"What about his studies? His future?"

"What? All Chad has to go is find the general, then make his head explode or something."

"Eew." Chad said.

"He gets headaches, Derrel. He could die just from using his powers, not to mention other beings trying to kill him."

"Then he'd best work on teamwork skills, I guess."

"Ugh!" Debra said, and walked to another side of the room in frustation.

Sierra

Sierra quietly slipped into the house, hoping not to wake her mother or sisters.  It turned out not to matter.  Her youngest sister, Laurie, was impossible to wake once she had fallen asleep.  Her mother was asleep on the couch next to an empty bottle of wine.  Sierra quickly cleaned up, and pulled a blanket over her mother.  And finally, Cara was still awake.  She came flying out of her room when she heard Sierra.  "Sierra...I just..."  She was unable to finish her sentence, as she had begun to throw up blood.  "No.  Oh, no."  Sierra ran to the phone and dialed for an ambulance.  She then went back to her sister, holding and rocking her.  "Shhh.  Shhh.  It's going to be alright."  Sierra had to hide the tear that fell down her cheek.

Ryan and Hector

While in the middle of celebrating their victory, the twins both turned their heads at the same time with a loud crack.

"Hey...did you feel that?" Ryan rubbed his neck. They went over to the piece of paper with the numbers scrawled on it. "You know...." Hector murmured, feeling something odd.

"Something is wrong." Ryan murmured, staring at the paper intently. They heard the loud sounds of an ambulance.

Hector was already climbing out of the window. "Come on, let's follow it." Ryan followed and the twins chased after the ambulance.

It lead them to Sierra's house.

[Faerie Larka]

Sierra

The paramedics shot into her house with a stretcher.  They piled Cara onto it, asking where her mother was.  "She's asleep.  Impossible to wake.  Please, can we go?  I'll leave a note."  The paramedics finally gave in, and Sierra climbed into the back of the ambulance, holding Cara's hand the whole time.  Just as she stepped in, though, she noticed Ryan and Hector.

[HkRevan]

Ryan and Hector

The two boys looked sad, they had seen Cara being put into the ambulance. Admittedly it was fun playing and they just never realized how close Cara was on death's door.

Ryan waved, indicating with a few hand motions that they were going to follow. Even though they disliked Sierra a bit, they weren't vindictive.

[Faerie Larka]

Sierra

Sierra paced in the waiting room, her nails digging into her palms.  She wiped the line of blood resulting from her nails on her jeans, not caring about the possible stain.  It was taking nearly all of her willpower to keep from bursting out in tears.  Every time a doctor came into the room, she jumped, hoping it was Cara's with good news.  Alas, each time it was not.  She was unsure whether this was a good omen, or one laced with foreboding.

[HkRevan]

Ryan and Hector

The twins followed the ambulance.

It was a weird feeling, being worried about someone else other than themselves.  Sierra's emotions were nearly tangible. She was broadcasting quite loudly. Even the twins, horrible as they were at empathy, could feel it.

They went into the waiting room, going up to  pacing Sierra. "Hey...." Ryan began lamely. "Want a muffin?" Hector finished, feeling very stupid.

[Faerie Larka]

Sierra

Sierra jumped at the sound of a voice behind her.  "What?"  It took her a second to realize what Hector and Ryan had said.  "Well..."  She looked at the ICU room longingly. "Really quickly.  I have to be here when she wakes.  Mum certainly won't be."

[HkRevan]

Ryan and Hector

They nodded. "Come on, the cafeteria is a floor down." They led her to the elevator down to the commissary.

There was a large selection of muffins. "We'll pay." Ryan handed out some money to the cashier.

[Faerie Larka]

Sierra

Sierra picked up a lemon poppy seed muffin, and sat at a table.  "Thanks guys.  On behalf of Cara, thank you."  Sierra pulled at the muffin, eating it only to be polite.  She barely kept it down.  Suddenly, she was overwhelmed.  By everything.  Her sister, the twins.  A tear slid down her cheek.  Quickly, she wiped it away, hoping against hope Ryan and Hector had not seen.
