Hey, you all! I'm so sorry I haven't written anything since X-Mas last year! Life and exhaustion got in the way… until I read…. THE HOST! Let me tell you, I fell in love with Ian O'Shea and I agree when SMeyer said that Casey Affleck would be perfect to portray him in the film. He's handsome, brooding, pale, gentle, with those lovely blue eyes that blaze when he's angry and… just perfect for Ian! I totally pictured him while reading the book. In fact, I had a complete crush on Casey before I even heard of the book and was excited when I read that SMeyer interview.

I know, many people have said they want Ian Somerhaulder to play him, but leave your opinions on which actor(s) you think should be Ian in the movie version of 'The Host'.

Also, the song in this one-shot is 'Because I Love Her' from the 'Swan Princess 3' soundtrack. The lyrics are so beautiful to me.

Ian's POV:

Ever since I discovered the love I felt for her, every part of me was overwhelmed by the intense fire flowing through my veins.

As of now, I feel that I do not deserve the love she gives me…

Now, she is my love… my life…

My beautiful Wanderer…

To me, she is the purest creature to ever exist on this desolate planet we selfish humans call Earth.

As long as I live, no harm or pain will come near, for I will do anything to make sure of it.

I am Wanda's protector, or as she used to put it, her personal bodyguard.

She never fails to make me laugh or smile, whether it's her dry sense of humor or stubbornness she occasionally displayed.

Sometimes, at night, as we lay in bed together in the caves, I'd be awake and watch my angel while she slumbered. I would wrap my arms around in a cage of protection and comfort, as if to shield her from all the evil in the world.

Ever since the Souls had invaded Earth, they claimed that all the atrocious things that have existed since Adam and Eve would cease to be known.

Obsession…

Murder…

Rape…

None of them would exist to counteract the balance between Heaven and Hell…

We humans still view the Souls as murderers and our enemies…

My Wanda may be a Soul, but she is the farthest thing from being the Devil's accomplice.

She is my salvation, a delicate lamb among ravenous lions, wise as a serpent, yet innocent as a dove.

Because I love her, I need her

Like Earth needs the Sun

I need the one I love

To keep my hope bright

My head right

My heart fighting on

Until I am back in her arms

Because I love her,I need her

Like summer needs rain

To grow and sustain each day

I hear her singing

And bringing strength to my soul

Until I am back in her arms

Miles apart,yet still my heart can hear her melody

I'm more than sure I can't endure

Without her love for me

Because I love her and need her

Like I need to breathe

Did Adam need Eve like this?

Now I see clearly

I nearly gave up all I had

So whatever our differences were

I'll bid them goodbye

I'll give love a try

And all because I love her
