Preview-

The story starts off with Wanda waiting nervously for her the group on a raid. They have found another rebel force besides Nate's and the previous one's that were mentioned. Wanda and Burns are left behind because the group is in fear that this new rebel force will be disturbed by the idea of befriending souls.

Ch.1 Waiting

Why were they taking so long?? My body tensed, and my sweaty, clammy hands were proof of my body's disobedience. Stay calm I told myself. Burns Living Flowers just stared at me, never taking a single glance anywhere else. What could be taking them so long? What if Ian was hurt? What if it was a trap, a plot to get us in? Human conspirators against their own kind? Never! I shuttered at the thought.

"Lovely weather we're having…..isn't it?" he said.

I froze from shock unable to think of a reply. I stayed quiet. "Why are you so worried Wanderer?" he asked. I tried to find my voice.

"You can call me Wanda," I said ignoring his question.

He continued staring. "Well, Wanda then, why are you worried?" he asked once more.

I tried to look at him while speaking. "I don't know…" I said. A lie of course. He raised an eyebrow.

"You shouldn't worry…I'm sure they won't…judge." He spoke carefully.

I continued looking away. It was taking terribly long for Ian and the rest to come back. It was surprising enough we found yet another rebel force…I was very doubtful…about the whole situation. They decided to converse at their hideout, not too far away they said, and didn't take Burns and I for obvious reasons. I and Burns were….different from the humans. We were souls…gone 'native', as Burns put it. We were at a war that seemed lost, but the humans had hope, and I was one of the few who sided with them.

Souls had taken over their once beloved earth, and many humans, well most hated our very existence. But who wouldn't? We took away what was not ours to take, their planet; their bodies….we erased their minds. Melanie was one of the very few minds that did resist….against me not too long ago. I had decided to give her body back, but did not expect to continue living. But I was very happy now….with Ian. My Ian. Where was he? Why was he taking so long??

"So how long have you been with them?" said Burns abruptly.

My head snapped towards his direction. I was thinking of what to say… "Not entirely sure," I said. "It's been a while," I added.

The silence continued. "And you?" I asked.

"I'm not entirely sure either…time goes on very fast." he said.

I nodded in agreement. I was too worried to notice he was still staring at me. "I was wondering…is there any more like us where you come from?"he said.

"Just one. Sunny. Her name is Sunny." I said.

He seemed very interested, but I was going through too much worry to care for a conversation…no matter how interested I would have been too, otherwise. I sighed. He leaned closer, to touch my golden hair and push it behind my ear, out of my face. He sighed and continued to play with my hair. I didn't mind. I was used to such behavior. But this was a little different. His hand followed, and held my cheek. We froze.

"Oh, sorry." he said, and pulled back his rough hand.

I avoided his gaze and searched for any sign of Ian's return. My heart stopped.

" Ian!"I cried and ran to him. He hugged me.

"What took you so long?"I asked, my voice getting a bit squeaky. He smiled.

"Everything's fine…"he said. "I'm sorry I had to leave you…it took longer than expected..."he added. He stroked my cheek gently as if to say, I'm sorry I made you worry. His gaze locked on mine and he leaned over for a kiss.

eh...R&R? Anything will do.
