My new The Host Fanfiction. Just started on it today. It will be the only fanfiction I am working on right now. I'll excited to do this and I'll be having some polls out in the next few weeks for this. It will follow the movies story line, but I'm going to give it a little twist here and there. Thank you for clicking on this story and I hope you guys like it. Please review and don't be afraid to tell me what you really think. If you think it sucks then tell me because then I can do what I can to make it better :)
Whenever you see "..." it means there's a flashback. usually I write them in italics so they should be easy to spot.
Whenever you see " " it means there's been a long period of time between scenes. It's usually when a couple hours or more have passed.
Everything in The Host and about The Host belongs to Stephanie Meyer! The only thing I can claim are my original characters such as Ethan and Rebecca who you'll get to know soon. I own the scenes and setting that I have created through my own imagination and I lay claim to my plot twists. Trust me, if I owned The Host I would be having dinner with Jake Abel and Max Irons right now.
Long Summary
The road to safety has been a long one for Rebecca Miller and her family. With an Alien invasion happening around them life isn't easy anymore. Just entering into adolescents, her mother is taken by seekers and her family is forced to move. They settled down in an old house in Louisiana where Rebecca and her brother Ethan make friends with another human girl, Melanie Stryder and her younger brother, Jamie. For the next year everything goes well. It seems as though they've escaped the invasion once again, but no one can truly escape. Seekers show up at the children's front doorsteps. When both of their fathers take their lives rather than endanger their children. The four teens are left in the world on their own. The next two years are difficult. Always running, searching for food, barely scraping by, but once again luck is in the air. During a small raid, Melanie and Rebecca run into Jared Howe a young Human man who like them hasn't been in contact with any other humans in over a two years. Slowly things start to fall into place. The four teens move in with Jared, starting life over again. Rebecca even begins to fall for the handsome Jared and along the way Jared can't help, but fall for her. They live in their own world, safe from harm and happy, but Rebecca is beginning to lose faith in fairy tales when she is separated from everyone and taken by the seekers. Traveling with the Stars also known as Myriad is placed in her, but Rebecca won't go down without a fight and when she runs into Melanie Stryder now occupied by Wanderer it seems she's not going down easy either. Using each other for help they are able to locate the resistance where they are reunited with loved ones. But no one can see past the silver rims in their eyes. At first it's just another struggle to survive until old loves rekindle and new loves are born. Follow Rebecca Miller and Melanie Stryder as they try to make it in their Mad world.
The Host
The Earth is at Peace.
There is no Hunger.
There is no violence.
The environment is healed.
Honesty, courtesy, and kindness are practiced by all.
Our world has never been more perfect.
Only it is no longer our world.
We've been invaded by an alien race.
They occupy the bodies of almost all human beings on the planet.
The few humans who have survived are on the run.

"Becca, Becca get up." The edge on his voice was what made me open my eyes to the night sky. The air was the same, the stars had not moved, the glass under my back was still soft.
"Ethan?!" I frantically shouted for my brother my vision still a bit hazy. He was close, his voice had been what warned me. Had they already gotten him, no, not my brother.
"Becca, come on!" His shadow rushed past me tugging me behind as we ran through the tall grass. My heart beat was almost louder than the thump of my feet landing below me and propelling me forward. I could hear them behind us, getting closer and closer.
"Stop, we don't want to hurt you!" Their shouts carried through the air. Like Hell. All they want to do is cut us open and put an alien inside of us. To get rid of us because we're unhealthy and dangerous.
"This way!" We took a hard right into a cluster of trees. My legs started to burn from the lack of oxygen flowing into my muscles. I could feel the blood start to rush through my veins at an unbearable rate as the first gun shot rang out. I could see my brother ahead of me by the color of his blue long sleeved shirt. His long legs pushing him forward always a couple yards ahead of me, always looking over his shoulder to see if I was still there and the haunting look on his face as the second gunshot rang out. As he watched his sister fall to the ground. The bullet had hit my ankle, I could feel it push through my muscle and hit my bone shattering it. The world seemed to stop as the ground came up to meet me as I pushed my arms forward for protection.
"Becca!" He started for me, he back tracked, but he would die.
"NO, keep going! To the cabin! Just keep going, don't stop!" I shouted at him, I shouted as loud as I could because I wanted him to listen. He stopped, he turned and then his legs began to move, faster and faster until he was running again, but this time he didn't look back. Good. I didn't want him to. Soon his blue shirt was only a blur against the red shade of pain.
"Should we go after the boy?" It felt like ages before there was a reply. I wanted to know, I would die after I knew.
"No, he's just a small boy. We can quickly find him." I wish I could have smiled, I wish I could have been able to pause the pain and open my mouth because for the first time in years I would have said thank you.
…..
I am coursing through its blood stream. My blood stream. I am linking to its nervous system. My nervous system. I can wiggle its fingers and toes. I can feel everything. My fingers, my toes. My everything. I opened my eyes to this new world, this new planet. One that I could add to my growing list of worlds.
"Welcome to earth young one. I am your healer, Green Pastors. What shall I call you? I have heard stories of you and your numerous lives. There must be a name for someone like yourself." I listened to her words, wanted to copy them. To memorize them, but I have heard that on this planet your own words are used. That they form in your head and leave through the opening that is called the mouth.
"Call….me….Myriad." I moved the muscles around my mouth to form what these people called a smile. A way of expressing emotion.
"Do you need anything, Myriad?" I moved to sit, dangling my legs over the edge of the silver table. My fingers ran over the smooth fabric of my gown. The sparkling material shimmered under the bright lights and it caressed my skin with it's soft touch.
"A glass of fluid would be wonderful." I told her with a smile. I…loved? Yes, I loved the way these words slide off my tongue. The fluidity of this language came to me with ease for I did not have to learn it, but only use my host as a tool. My healer returned with a glass and handed it to me. I gratefully accepted it and lifted the glass to my lips letting the cold fluid run down into my system.
"In this world we call this fluid water. Don't worry it will come easier as you experience this more." She smiled at me.
"Yes, this is all very confusing. Perhaps there is a place I can rest?" I asked her, ready to close my eyes once more.
"Of course. Burning skies will show you to your knew room." I smiled at the man beside my table as he held his hands out for me. I grabbed his hands, steadying myself, as I slide off the table onto my own feet, my own legs.
"Thank you, Healer." I told her and turned, following Burning Stars. These Halls were different; they were not made of fire or ice. Outside of these glass barriers I saw a world where people like myself walked on two legs and had conversations using spoken words and expression.
"This will be your occupied space until you are ready to move. You will find clothes, water, bathroom necessities and much needed space in here. Call if need anything and we will do our best to attend to your need." For the third time in this new life I smiled.
"Thank you for everything." I nodded to him before stepping into my room. Finally alone I slowly walked over to the large oval of reflective glass hanging on the wall. The image of the young female looking back at me was hypnotizing. The many blonde strands of hair lying on her back and draped across her shoulders. Her arched eyebrows and mysterious hazel eyes, her perfectly curved nose and her plump soft pink lips. This female was beautiful. I was beautiful.
NO! I'm beautiful! That's right. I'm still here in my body.
This isn't yours! None of this is yours. It's mine!
I stared into those hazel eyes. I thought I was supposed to be alone. They told me I would be alone! They couldn't have lied. Souls don't lie!
Well they lied to you.
No, they didn't. You will fade away. I will tell my healer in the morning and they will get you to fade away. This is my body.
Well that's to bad because I don't intend on sharing,
At least not for long.
