You
threw the guy into the air?" Jake asked.
"Wasn't that maybe just a little unneces
sary?"
"No. He made me mad," I said.
It was the next day after school, a Monday. We were
walking through the woods. Me, Cassie, Jake,
Marco, and Tobias.
Of course, Tobias wasn't really walking. He
was flying overhead in little hops from branch to branch.
He stayed close so he could hear us. Red-tailed
hawks have excellent hearing, but he
still had to stay fairly close.
"Well, Rachel, you know I
sympathize," Jake
said mildly, "but I don't think our job is
really to
right every wrong that's done to animals. That
would be a full-time job, unfortunately."
I looked at Cassie. She gave me a wink.
We
kind of didn't tell Jake that she had been there,
too. Cassie and Jake like each other. She
didn't
want him to be mad at her.
With me, it's a different story. Everyone knows
I'm going to do whatever I feel like doing.
"We have other stuff to deal with," Marco
grumbled. "The Andalite didn't give us this
power so we could turn into the Animorph Society
for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals."
"Fine," I said. Which wasn't exactly like
admitting I was wrong. "But what's got you so
serious, Marco?"
"Let's wait till we find Ax. I don't
want to have to tell the story twice."
So we tromped noisily on through the woods.
I felt a surge of excitement. You couldn't
miss
the tension in Marco's voice. Something was up. There
was the smell of danger in the air, and that
meant action.
I like action. I like dstnothings instead of just
talking about them. Marco makes fun of me over
it. He calls me
Xena, Warrior Princess.
But I'm not one of those morons who is just into danger
for its own sake. It's not about cheap
thrills. It's about feeling like I am involved in
something very important. I mean, let's face it
