Love in a new world

Chapter one - Everything's going to be alright

WELCOME new amigas/amigos to my brand new story. I have never done a follow on/story based on 'the Host.' However, I have done many twilight stories so I am familiar with Stephanie Meyers' work, plus I adore her writing style and have read all of her books numerous times. I have replaced the old version of this chapter with this new one that has been corrected by my Beta- NeverJudgeABookByItsMovie, she is v helpful so hopefully it's easier to read and better in general.

If you're new to me as a writer then hola people of fanfiction, I hope you enjoy my story and do venture out and explore my other fanfiction stories.

Please do review; I appreciate it so much as it spurs me on with my inspiration. Also, I write faster. So review! Plus I have for a long time now promised (and I keep my promises) read and reviewed a story from each person whom reviews; not only is this a fabulous way of finding new exiting stories but it's an extra incentive to review.

Summary:

The idea is that throughout the story different stories collide because various people's POV's are used.

Jaime's story lies in the pit of his heart, when it's captivated by new girl Leila Thompson who's been running ever since the beginning. But winning a girl's heart who seems to know nothing but running and hiding won't be easy. Is Jaime up to the job?

Melanie and Jared seemed to end on a high note when they were reunited after so long, but being back in full control isn't as easy as Melanie first thought.

With Jodie in a state of dreamland it's decided for Sunny to rejoin the crew, but at what cost? And when Sunny begins to hear a voice and Kyle realizes Jodie may still be present, all hell breaks loose, and Kyle has to decide, who does he love most? And is he willing to give up one to gain another?

And finally there's Ian and Wanda. Not the typical couple from the exterior, but soul mates from the start. With Wanda willing to risk her life for practically every living being, life will never be easy. And with the risky nature of weekly raids, someone's bound to get hurt. But this time, will Wanda be able to save them?

So please read and enjoy! And if you have any suggestions or stories you want to recommend then PM me with ideas :)

DISCLAIMER: I own nothing. (well, the ideas for the plot are mine, but nothing else)

Leila's POV (LPOV)

My heart thudded underneath my t-shirt that had gathered layers of dust. My feet were so caked in mud, they formed their own pair of shoes. I dashed across the desert, my rucksack digging into my back rhythmically with each stride. In the horizon my eyes widened to the sight of a small cave. The doorway was blurry as my eyes blinked wearily. I staggered to the entrance; just one more step…so close, so very close. And I never found true love…

I awoke to the sound of voices, loud and frantic, searching. The words became clearer as my mind drifted back to reality.

"Can you hear me?" A voice questioned. My eyes blinked as the bright light hit me. I soaked in my surroundings carefully; a man stood overhead, a concerned expression on his face.

By the man's side, a girl stood staring curiously at my face. Her hair was exceedingly long, hanging down her back a like shimmering waterfall, with highlights of blonde shining like an angel. I almost skimmed past her most important feature. Blood rushed to my head making me feel nauseous. Her eyes, at first glance so beautifully grey, were glazed with something that I'd seen so many times before, not only in reality but in my nightmares. She was a monster; she was one of them…
"Get her away from me, please don't let her change me, I don't want to be one of them!" I screeched. I tried to race away but strong firm hands pinned me down. I glanced up at the stranger who kept me captivated. His face was fairly tanned and his eyes were piercing green. I stared intently into those eyes for several minutes. They were so mesmerizing that I forgot where I was until the questioning man queered me yet again.
"Can you remember how you got here? What is your name?" He spoke clearly and concisely with a soothing voice that reminded me of my grandfather's.
I struggled out of my trance. "My name is Leila Thompson; I can't quite…" I strained to remember how I'd come to be in this predicament, but only fuzzy images of the desert appeared. "I was walking, I was tired and then I…I can't remember" I muttered sighing. The hypnotic boy stood back, letting go of my arms, and instead gently stroked his fingers across my face, once again grabbing my attention.
"It's ok," he whispered, "you're safe now. No one here will hurt you." My heart dared to believe him, but as my eyes once again flickered across the dark girl my heart turned to stone.

"Why is she here? Who is she? They want to kill us" I hissed, blinking, my voice panicked. Again the boy whisked the tips of his fingers across my cheeks, making them hot with a burning sensation I'd never felt before.
"She's a friend. She won't harm you. Many humans live here with others like her in harmony, as friends. My name is Jaime. I'm a friend too." He spoke softly, his words like a spell instantly soothing me. I nodded in acceptance, although I was still a little unsure.
"Jaime" I repeated, and he immediately smiled at me, a large long grin that reached his eyes and sent shivers down my spine, followed by another stroke of my cheek.

Everything was going to be alright…

Ok, that's the first chapter completed then. I hope you enjoyed it, and even if you didn't, reviews/constructive criticism is welcome. Next chapter should be up within a week or two, but work comes at a priority, I'm afraid. But I WILL make time.

Thanks for reading
