by Penguin.is.my.name

When Carlisle finds Miranda, half frozen and on the run from the souls that have invaded the Earth, life for him, the Cullens, and Miranda will change yet again. But will Miranda's strained relationship with the Cullens stand in the way of their attempts to help her? Or will they only succeed in uncovering Miranda's most painful memories about her past?

1. Chapter 1

A/N This is a crossover between The Host and Twilight, but right now, I'm not sure if any of the characters from The Host are actually going to be in it. For now at least, I'm basically using the idea from The Host (aliens invade the world and take over our bodies and all remaining humans have to run in order to survive) and using the characters from Twilight and a few original characters. Maybe later I'll start to introduce some of the characters from The Host – review and tell me what you think.

Chapter 1 Miranda's POV

I am cold.

It shouldn't matter, but for some reason, it does. I lost track of how long I've been sitting here in the woods. Three hours? Four? I can't go to a hospital. If I did, they would know I'm human right away. I would become a host.

After another hour or so, I start to consider it. I was going to die anyway. Why not let a soul have my body? I got up and found myself looking into someone's golden eyes.

Okay I just realized that my note was longer than the actual chapter. I promise that the next chapters will be longer! Usually whenever something really, really important happens, I cut the chapter(s) short because (a) I keep wanting to switch back and forth between characters (I really hate writing from just one POV – I feel like I only can tell half of the story that way,) (b) because I'm being mean and want to keep my readers in suspense, or (c) a little of both (in this case, It's c.) Anyway, this is getting insanely long, and I'm sure you're dying to read the next chapter. Or maybe you don't and I'm just being narcissistic. Either, way, bye-bye until Chapter 2!
