Violet

I stretched my small, silvery body to fill up my new host. Earth. I had never heard of anything like it before, and then the next thing I knew, I was shipped off in a crytotank. I was, as of now, being inserted into a host. A new body. A new life.

My mind was flooded with the past memories of the girl whose body I had intruded.

"You are getting difficult Scarlett you won't listen to me anymore! I'm afraid I've booked an appointment with the healers," an older woman with red curly hair stated calmly, just like all souls.

"No!" she couldn't take me to them. Of course I wouldn't mind being a soul but that would mean that I wouldn't be human. I wouldn't be me. I would be stifled out of existence. "You can't do this to me Judy,"

"Scarlett, please. I love you but you're getting harassed and the seekers are harassing me about keeping you human. Soon enough they are going to start looking for you and trying to take you from me. They will come up with all of those reasons that you're too violent and there are precious souls out there that are waiting to be inserted into a human! Please, Scarlett."

"But I don't want to be eliminated," I started to back away from Judy, my 'mother' she wouldn't do this to me. Why was she doing this to me? I backed into what I thought was a wall. It wasn't, it was one of them. A seeker? A healer? Wouldn't they at least give me a fair chance to be human? Why, why, why! NO!

The emotions I felt for this girl, Scarlett, which I had never met, were overwhelming. I couldn't comprehend why they would do that to someone. And a human? I thought they were extinct on this planet. Only souls resided here right? Well, that's what I had heard. So I guess that was the last memories the young woman had encountered before having me inserted into her. No, me. This is me, will be me. My new body.

I felt what was it, pain? I wasn't sure, sadness maybe? I was upset about the girl losing her life. I could suddenly hear a murmur of voices surrounding me and I opened my eyes. They were flooded with bright, blinding light that made my eyes sting.

I snapped them shut again, and then slowly eased them open again. The voices went deathly quiet; I guess it was time for me to be welcomed to this new planet. I was greeted with an intensely white room and four smiling faces. One of those faces was Judy. A traitor to her daughter.

"Hello, dear soul. I'm healer Mark. Welcome to your new home," His face was open and friendly. His voice made me feel instantly safe. I was calm and I tried to sit up. I struggled at first to move my muscles. This body was so different from that of the flowers. I stretched out my arms, it felt natural. "What is your name dear? I hear you are from the Flowers," he asked me politely.

I smiled at him, smiling? Was that what it was? These unknown feelings and emotions and body movements were so strange. "Thankyou for your kind words Mark, My names is...well translates close to Violet Summer Flowers. Yes, that seems correct or close enough to it," I told them. The room full of people.

"How are you feeling Violet Summer Flowers?" Another one of the healers, I assumed, asked me. Her face was covered in wrinkles, but I assumed most of them were from a life of laughing and smiling. Her hair was grey and tied into a tight bun on the top of her head.

"I feel. This is different that is for sure, from the Flowers at least," my memory provided me with the words I needed, "It is strange you could say. I'm adjusting to the muscles already and these...emotions are so vivid and strong!" I said. My voice sounded higher as I said this.

"You still sound the same. I'm Judy, your mother, or you can just call me Judy if you like," her face seemed...sorrowful.

"It is lovely to meet you. You can call me Violet. Otherwise it's too much of a mouthful," I was surprised at how my memory was provided me with these words so quickly. I would have to find something, a book, to read that would give me the meanings of all these words! I knew them but, the emotions, the descriptive words, I wanted to know more.

More about this world, planet, this Earth! I smiled at the people surrounding me. I was helped to stand and my body immediately felt the pulse of my muscles. It felt ready to run. I couldn't seem to wipe the happy smile off my face. I felt euphoric.

I think I felt joyous the whole way back to Judy's home. My new home. "I'm sure you are feeling tired dear, I'll show you around and then you can go have a little lie down? How does that sound?" I could see from Judy's face that she was sorry she had lost her human daughter. I would have to question her about it later on. When I wasn't so tired.

"Here is the kitchen, now, Scarlett was an extreme sweet-tooth so you may want to stay away from the goodies," I laughed along with her. "So here is your room. Feel free to decorate it however you want to dear. Is there anything you need?"

I shook my head, "No thankyou. I have some questions though, but I'll wait until morning to ask you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight dear," Judy replied after kissing my forehead. I found some pyjamas to sleeping and felt myself curl into a ball before dozing off.

O n l y H u m a n

I'd forgotten to close the curtains last night before I'd slipped into a slumber, so the sunlight was streaming onto my face. I groaned and rolled over. My body didn't like getting out of bed and that was clear as crystal. Last night I hadn't had a good sleep, I was smothered with the memories of Scarlett. She had gone through so much to stay human; she hadn't understood the difference between souls and humans. When she had turned fifteen though, they had told her that she couldn't be anymore different than she was.

For a long while, Scarlett had felt unloved and misplaced in this world. She had gone looking for other humans, but they were extinct. I heard the door open and was greeted with Judy holding a plate of hot food. I smiled in greeting and grudgingly got out of bed.

I followed her to the kitchen where she placed the plate of eggs, bacon and toast. Smell, I liked the smell of it. I liked smelling in general. "Good morning Violet, how are you feeling?"

"Just fine thankyou. Although I didn't sleep well. With all the memories I guess," I replied in a crisp and polite tone.

"Oh yes, I remember my first memories and my first night. It will fade dear. Now eat up."

I saw that Judy had put a flower on the table for me. It was a beautiful daisy, and it made me smile. She was so considerate, thinking about making me feel at home. "Last night you said you had some questions?"

"Oh yes, well, firstly I was wondering about humans. I mean, Scarlett was one and I wanted to know," I stated.

"I assumed that was what you would want to know about. Well I guess it would be about two or three years ago when we had a strong rebellion of humans lurking about. They would raid our fridges and stores to feed themselves and there would always be a disappearance of souls. We had no idea what they were doing to the poor souls that were taken. Bless them. A woman was taken not to far from here, in the desert. I remember that a seeker I knew wouldn't give up on finding her because she thought that she was with humans!"

"Everybody had thought it was ridiculous until she suddenly went missing. Her clothes were scattered and torn apart. Many accepted that she had suffered the same fate as the other dear soul, but others thought that maybe this seeker had been right. From then on, more and more souls were going missing, it was horrid, and I tell you Violet, horrid. The disappearances have stopped though, there haven't been many for a long time. Everyone was worried that they would be next and that these humans would come to take their children. But they never did. Eventually after many searches, it was declared that the human's were extinct in a way. Sure some families keep their hosts human children because they cannot bear to give them up, but most are given up to be host bodies."

"What, so there are no humans left. Rebel humans I mean?" I was intrigued and wanted to know more.

"No, none left. If there was any left, they would've been found. Trust me on that," she patted my head and went to go wash up the plates. I couldn't place what I was feeling, maybe it was disappointment. I told Judy that I was going to take a shower and I found myself fresh clothes for the day and headed to the bathroom. I looked into the mirror.

I wondered why the healers hadn't shown me what I looked like. Strange I thought. This body was short but with nice curves. I had long, curly, brown hair that reached the bottom of my breasts. Okay, what was I meant to do with these anyway? My memory provided me with images of Scarlett and her...encounters. "Oh my," I started to giggle. I couldn't even begin to think about doing something like that! I stifled my laughs with my hand and continued to evaluate my body.

My face was kind looking, I had green eyes. I like green. My lips were pink and my cheeks seemed to be tinged the same colour. I looked down my body towards my feet. I didn't have any sense of proportions but I was guessing that I was normal. Or as normal as normal can be. I looked up at my face again; it looked as though it was a constantly smiling face. That, to me, was a good thing. I stepped into the shower and felt the warm water splash my hair and shoulders.

I think I actually moaned from the pleasure of the water. Obviously, this body liked showers. I started to laugh again. These bodies seem to have a mind of their own! They want to laugh and they do. There wasn't even anything funny about being in the shower.

The rest of the day seemed to go by in a blur. It was filled with Judy showing me around and teaching me the basics of life on this planet. I was constantly greeted by new, smiling faces. They would always ask the same questions, "What is your name? Where are you from? What was it like there?"

So predictable! Judy took me home when it got dark and she made me dinner. From my memories, I realised that she was being nice. Usually she would make me prepare my own meals. I could guess she was trying to be nice to me. Hopefully it would wear off.

I don't know how much nice I can deal with. I know I'm a soul and everything but I felt as though there needed to be some antagonism and mean words said once in a while. I doubted though that this would happen, we were just too nice.

That night when I went to bed, I pondered on humans. What were they like? Were they really gone? How did they live their lives? Would I ever get to meet one? I sighed and fell backwards onto my bed. It was cushioned with so many pillows that I had to throw most of them off. "Ugh!" I could already feel myself cursing the way that we souls lived our lives. Maybe I was just out of the ordinary. I don't know why but I kind of wanted myself to be human. I wanted to be a human, in true.

They seemed so different from this life of being a soul, just natural and normal. To me, they seemed violent but good. I ran my fingers through my hair. What was it Judy had said today about some souls still having a human presence in their minds. I found myself searching for Scarlett.

Why did I even want this? Why did I want to have a human in my head with me? I spent an hour searching for any life form but found none, just memories of Scarlett's life. I then eventually fell asleep, disappointed.

I guess I was stuck being a soul, living the same days over and over.

Jamie

"Oh come on Mel, please let me come with you! Please!" I wanted, no needed to go on this raid. Or shopping as we tended to call it now. "I haven't been out of the caves for so long!"

"No Jamie, you have to stay here!"

"Why, because you want someone to look after Jake? You really think that anybody in these caves would let anything happen to that kid, Mel?

"I don't care Jamie, you are not coming okay! Stay here!" She was getting older and she was becoming less fun. I sighed and slumped off to my room. Of course Jake was there, asleep. Melanie and Jared had a baby about two years ago. When I was sixteen. They didn't seem to understand that I was eighteen now and I didn't want to be stuck in these caves anymore. Especially looking after a baby. I wanted to live.

I couldn't just up and leave though. I couldn't leave my sister, I couldn't leave Jared, and I couldn't leave Wanda or Jeb or Jake. I guess I was afraid too, I couldn't leave my home. I sat in my room and watched as Jake slept on, unaware of the war inside my head. To leave or not to leave!

Gods, now I was even reciting that well known line of Shakespeare. Macbeth was the first book I had actually owned, until Wanda decided I needed to expand my vocabulary. I smiled at the thought. Then I frowned, I would be stuck here with Wanda too...and Ian.

She wasn't going on this one, Sunny was. Wanda had just found out that she too would be having a baby. Of course she didn't feel right bringing up a baby in the caves, but felt that she couldn't get rid of it. And why would she, I think almost everyone here would murder her if she did. Hypothetically speaking of course, no one would actually kill her, which would be stupid. Besides Ian would let any of us kill her let alone let us get away with it without revenge.

I heard them walking down the halls, I was stuck in between Mel and Jared's room as well as Ian and Wanda's room. I really hated happy couples. Every time they would walk past and be all lovey dovey I felt like I was going to throw up. I mean, I believed in romance as much as the next guy but it was sickening.

Who was I kidding, I knew I thought it was sickening but I was jealous. I wanted that, I wanted a girl I could sweep off her feet. I wanted someone to hold and kiss and just be with! Yeah right, I should stop having these stupid thoughts! I mean what the hell, I am never going to meet another human girl I actually like.

There isn't a chance you know why? Because there isn't enough of us. Maybe I could meet a soul, like Ian. Wait that would work either. Jared is overprotective and so is Mel, they don't let me do anything! Gods I haven't been on a raid for so long! They think it's dangerous. How many time do they have to get told that it is safe! Souls aren't suspicious people!

I could hear Jake stirring so I decided to go get us some food. "Ian, I feel bad for him!"

"Why?"

"He's all alone. I mean, I have to consider his feelings. Every time we do things that are coupled, I see him cringe, it is the same with Mel and Jared," Wanda was pleading with Ian,

"That isn't my problem though Wanda, he's a teenage boy! Of course he's going to cringe at people being lovey dovey!"

"That isn't the point Ian! He cringes because of it, because he is alone! I want to find him someone, even if it's just another teenager,"

There was no way they were talking about me. It couldn't be. "Wanda, who are we going to find? Think about it!" I heard her sigh and I could just imagine Ian wrapping his arms around her petite frame.

"I love him Ian, I just want him to be happy," I could hear the love and affection in her tone, thought it was muffled, Ian had put his arms around her.

I rounded the corner yet they didn't see me, "Thanks Wanda, but I'm okay by myself," I stated and kept walking. I probably shouldn't have said anything about it. But I didn't want people butting into my business.

I walked swiftly to the kitchen to fetch Jake and myself some food. Melanie was relying on me to keep him safe and well fed and by George I would do that. "Hey Jamie, how are you?"

"I'm okay Lily, what about you?" Lily smiled at me as I said this.

"Oh I'm doing really great. Want some company?" I nodded and headed back to my room.

As I passed Wanda and Ian's room I realised felt bad about what I'd said, "Hey can you feed Jake, I have to talk to Wanda," I told Lily, she nodded and I walked backwards towards the doors that covered their room. I knocked twice.

"Come in," Ian's voice rumbled.

"Hey, umm....sorry about before. I probably shouldn't have been so rude,"

"Oh Jamie!" Wanda shrieked and leaped into my arms, "I'm so sorry! It's just you look lonely and I love you and I want you to be happy!" She was sobbing into my chest. I wrapped my arms around her and patted her back.

"I know Wanda. But, trust me, I am perfectly happy. Could I even ever be lonely in these caves? Plus, if I was really, really lonely, I'd just come and spoil your guy's party." I said this while looking at Ian. He laughed and shot me a look that said, don't you dare! I laughed along with him.

Wanda hiccupped and smiled at me. She stroked my cheek. "Jamie, you keep getting older and older! Soon you're going to want to move out!"

"Where would I go Wanda?"

"Oh I don't know Jamie! I do know that you are going to find a girl! You are just so handsome," she complimented me. I could feel the blood rushing to my cheeks.

"Thanks Wanda, I gotta get back to Jake. I promised Mel," I told them.

"Okay Jamie," Wanda gave me a sad smile and patted my shoulder. I turned and walked back towards my room. Lily was there with Jake and she was nursing him. I didn't want to disturb them so I went to the bathing room.

I think I sat on the edge of the pool for ten minutes thinking before I actually got in. Wanda was right I guess, but I had lied to her. I wasn't okay with being alone, I was happy but, I could always be happier, couldn't I?

Maybe I was doomed to spend an entirety alone. Maybe I was just odd, and I didn't fit in anywhere. Maybe.
