hey everyone, i thought i'd write a Host fic after seeing the film (which was brilliant!) this is Ian pov of the events of the host, following the storyline of the book (even more brilliant!) anyway the first two chapters take place while Wanda/Mel is wandering around the desert looking for the caves.

Chapter 1

'Ahh! Damn it Kyle!'

I heard a snigger in response, though I couldn't make out more than his hulking figure in the dim light.

'You're such a prat you know that.' I told him sitting up and wiping icy water out of my eyes, I could just about make out the empty water bottle lying on the floor between our mattresses.

'What you gonna do about it little brother.' Kyle goaded. There was a brief silence, 'I thought so' Kyle commented and rolled back over, and as he did, I tackled from behind, and in the poor light I could see the grin on my brother's face, he'd expected this and he was ready. The battle ensued, and when the door was tilted to the side, to reveal Jeb, Kyle had me in a headlock.

'You boys cut that out, or else you'll wake everyone else up and then you'd have Maggie after your necks, again.' then he added

'well, as you're up, you can help me with the mirrors.'

'But it's not even light yet!' Kyle protested.

'Should've thought about that one before, instead of acting like kids.' Jeb said,

Kyle grumbled something,

'Move it Kyle. I'll meet you both there in five minutes' Jeb told him, then turned to leave, 'and Kyle, the human population is small enough without you suffocating your brother, please try to remember that.' a trace of smile in his voice.

Kyle looked down, having forgotten that he still had me trapped. With a grin he ruffled my hair, before letting me go. Kyle sniggered as I fell face down on the floor. I glared at him brushing my clothes down.

'This isn't over' I told him.

Kyle grinned 'I'm counting on it.

I rolled my eyes, throwing my pillow at Kyle as I left, heading after Jeb. Debating how I was going to get my own back.
