Introduction;
Melanie's point of view.
The invasion started maybe 3 years ago, the souls had successfully taken over man kind. I was with my little brother Jaimie, he was my world. I did everything I could to protect my little beam of light. I knew I couldn't give him what usual sisters could, I could tell him that dating was pointless. I sighed as I looked over to him while we were walking. You see my uncle Jeb has a cabin out in the desert, and something inside me tells me that he is still out there. That I would be able to take my brother out of harms way, and let him be able to sleep at night without having a constant fear. The body snatchers made me sick, who could take over someone's body? After all we have done to make this world evolve and they just come along and snatch it from us. Erasing the mind of ourselves and the ones we love. How cruel is that? How cruel can these things be, even if they portray to be perfect? The thought made me sick as I stole a car that was sitting out in a parking lot. I have been watching this soul, they worked here and right now they were working. I grabbed Jaimie's hand and made sure we were fast slipping into the car. Souls never locked their doors, and they left the keys in the engine, I shook my head. How naive could these things be? Always being so trustful and nice. I shook the thought as I started to engine, I knew that the souls drove the limit, only because I've watched them. Sneaking into gas stations and over hearing them talk. Thank god this gas tank was full, I looked over to my brother.
"Jaimie, we are going to be fine" I tried to reassure my brother, who was trembling.
"You don't know that. What if he's not there, what if seekers are waiting?" My brother seemed upset and annoyed that I was making him take this journey.
"Damn, Jamie, would you rather try or die here? What if we find a place out there and we can live on our own? I mean I have this feeling Jeb is alive, so for right now you are following me. You are going to do as I say, got it?" I cursed under my breathe. I had never meant to raise my voice at my brother,but my nerves got the best of me.
I couldn't help but think of how life could be if we found Jeb. Would it be a little normal, would he remember who I was? Of course he would, I have always looked the same. Would we be able to sleep without constantly waking up and looking outside. I knew it could be a long drive, but I couldn't help but feel relieved. I looked back at the case of water I stole from the super market just before we began to drive. I still had a ten hour drive, this would be hell. At least 4 hours passed, I was halfway to the desert, hope sprung through my veins. I looked over at my sleeping brother, he was my life. He was so cold though, his heart was growing empty because of this senseless world.

Jared's point of view.
I groaned as I woke up in the caves, it was the same thing everyday. I have been in the caves since Jeb moved here, I always helped him around his house before the invasion. He would sit and tell me about his family, he had a niece Melanie and a nephew Jamie. I wonder if they were still alive, I knew me and Jeb went through hell to make our way here. Of course we had others in the group; Ian and Kyle O'shea, Doc, and Maggie. Maggie was Jebs sister, she was a pain but it was all in good meaning. Her and the other girls worked around the caves doing things the guys refused to. Us guys would fix the field, the girls would cook dinner. I sighed as I thought of myself. Would I ever be able to love someone? Sure the girls here were attractive but none of them clicked in my mind. They were all too nice, to easy to walk all over. I shook my head as I got up and changed my clothes for the day. I didn't mind helping out Jeb, he basically save my life. Sadly, I go on raids every time we need supplies. Everyone said I was the best raider around, that the caves would never be the same without me. I knew that I helped out, but I didn't think I was that important. I walked to the fields to work, something about the air felt different. I tried to shake the feeling but I knew something was not right about today. Could something happen to all of us? Would the seekers come and try to take us? I tried to not worry about it as I began to fix the fields. Maybe It was just my hormones.

With Melanie.
I was almost there, I could feel it. I drove over night and now it was morning. It was a sunny warm day out, something in my heart was leaping in joy. My veins were pumping blood through my veins happily, my muscles were ready for whatever I was about to enforce on them. I knew we couldn't drive forever, seekers would see the tracks and follow us looking for the stolen car. I turned to Jaime and shook him to wake him up,my body was exhausted. I smiled as I pulled the car over, put the waters in my bag and made sure my little brother was ready.
"Well shit here goes nothing." Jamie sound, expecting me not to hear it.
"Jamie, did you just say shit?" I asked him,my mother tone stepped in.
"No, I said shoot." He said while smiling at me. I smiled back with the fakest smile that my face could indorse. We began to walk, for hours and hours. I could barely feel my feet as I looked over at my little brother who was still trying to be strong. We both drank some water as the hot sun beamed over us, it felt like the sun was beside us. We walked for at least 4 hours when I seen it, I seen the cabin. There's hope, Jeb is still alive. I tugged on Jamie's hand and ran towards the cabin. I pushed the door open, too see an empty house. There goes my hopes, my last little bit of faith. This is not the sight I wanted too see, I wanted too see Jeb there or hell even Maggie. I tried to swallow back my tears, but I couldn't. I couldn't hold back the disappointment that tore a hole in my heart. I wrapped my arms around Jamie as I began to sob like a child that had lost its toy.
"Mel, it's not your fault. You had good intentions." Jamie said as he tried to comfort me. I knew he was just as disappointed as me, he hoped Jeb would be there.
"Now where do we go? We have nothing. Im sick of running like this, we can't even go outside without being in danger. I cant sleep at night without worrying if we are going to be taken, sometimes I think it would be easier that way." I sobbed to my little brother,finally breaking my shell. I couldn't be strong anymore, it was all too hard.
"Mel, your trying and that's what counts. Your the best big sister a kid could ask for. I wouldn't trade you for the world, your my mom Mel." He said while hugging me as I sat against a tree in the shade. I needed to sit down for a little bit and let my mind relax.

"Jared we need to go out there, I seen something walking." Ian panicked.
"Well Christ, lets go her Jeb." I said while grabbing a knife and stuffing it in my pocket.
We walked to Jeb grabbing Kyle along the way, and we were now walking outside. I couldn't help but think if I would end up having to kill this creature. To kill the body snatcher, I felt no remorse. We couldn't have walked for more than 2 hours before we seen figures sitting against a tree. They were sleeping. I looked at Jeb who agreed I would sneak up behind the taller one and grab it. So I did just that. I was almost there when the younger one woke up, terror flashed through his eyes as he shook the other one. She woke up in a panic, standing in front of him. I heard Jeb walking behind me. I grabbed the older on and put my knife to her throat as she was spun facing Jeb. "Melanie?" I heard Jeb spit out. "Uncle Jeb! I'm human still." She spat out, I didn't believe her, she could be lying. "Jeb is she human?" I growled out. He needed to realize this before seekers came. Jeb walked up closer and and grabbed her face lightly looking into her eyes. He turned her face left and right, and sighed.
With Melanie;
He was there, my uncle was alive. I had a knife pressed against my throat but I still kept my oath for protecting my little brother. I seen someone walk up to my little brother, even with a knife against my throat I pushed my brother against my back. I could feel the knife press harder against my throat, it was starting to piss me off. "Listen, I'm not a fucking alien so I would suggest you loosen this knife before I elbow you in the dick." I could feel my temper finally take action, and I exploded all at once. I seen Jeb laugh, and the guy who had the knife to my throat loosen it. "She's human all right." Jeb said in a laugh that was deep in his gut. I pulled Jaime beside me and Jeb looked in his eyes. "Well they both managed to stay human." He said with a smile. He pulled us into a hug as the person behind me let me go. I turned to face who ever had almost stuck a knife in my throat,expecting him to be rough looking and maybe a little hideous. I turned to see him and I was taken back.
With Jared;
I let her out of my grip when Jeb told me they were both human, I was shocked. How could a girl keep her and her little brother both alive and safe. How could she have such a temper? She turned to look at me an our gaze met. She was beautiful, he hair fell to her shoulders, she had a petite frame, and her eyes were astonishing. When I looked at her, I seen her blush. She looked young though, a lot younger than me. I sighed, all the other guys in the cave like Kyle and Ian were her age, and I could help but see them drool over her. I knew that even if I wanted too, I wouldn't make a move. The end of the world may be here, but that doesn't mean I'm going to go against my beliefs.
So how do you guys like it? Are you a little interested? Don't worry Wanda will come into the story and Ian will fall in love with her and Kyle will fall in love with sunny. All of that other stuff, but Melanie and Jared will have some stormy weather to go through. I really hope you guys grow a liking towards it because I really want to write it. There aren't many Melanie and Jared fanfictions so I want to write as many as I can and maybe inspire other people to write some. Even if you think you can't write, give it a try. I only used to read them but then I let my imagination write a story. Well leave me some feedback and tell me if I should continue, well actually I'm most likely going to, but I want readers to enjoy it.
