Hi everybody!
This will be my first fanfic and I hope you enjoy it, I'm not sure where the story is going, but it is a project that I will try to keep up! I would love if you Read and Review so I can learn and get better as time goes on.

This story will mainly evolve around Kyla Sparks and her life, but I will also write about Wanda and Melanie.

Edit: I do not own The Host or any of the characters in it except Sun Shines on The Leaves and Kyla Sparks.

I, Sun Shines on The Leaves, came here on Earth believing I did the right thing. I believed that what I did was for a good cause. I never believed I harmed anyone by me living here, not until I was placed in Kyla Sparks body. She had been a rebel. She had been only a few years when the colonization began and therefore grew up hating us souls. This day I can understand her. She had lost friends to us, family. A lot of people she cared about had been lost, never to return, because of us, because of what we do.

I am not going to rant on about how horrible we souls are. We are truly not horrible, but our timing was bad, our choice was bad. The Earth is a place which need those ups and downs, without them life is nothing, it's as colorless as the space itself.
I am not going to say that we have done a bad job either. The world is in peace, no wars, no hunger. Everyone are nice and honest, why would anyone dislike that?

I talk to her sometimes, listen to what she says. I have taught her how we souls live, how we are as people. I have also taught her my healing skills, not that they are anything special to any other healer, but I know that she will need it when time comes. And that time is soon here, too soon. The seekers are on to me and want me to skip ahead to a new host, but I have already made my decision.

She has always been present, never gone, just… Been there, watching my every move. At first I was afraid, believing she would take over. She have tried, several times, but never been completely successful. At first, we hated each other, naturally, but after a while we got along. Now, I can honestly say that I see her as my sister. I know she has a feeling of what I'm about to do, but I have kept that idea in a separate box where she cannot reach it. In time, she will remember all. After all, she has always been here, never gone.

The chance to be free once more, to roam the streets in disguise of a soul, that is what I will give her. The time is here and I need to do it, yet I am afraid. I want to live, just like anyone else. I want to feel the grass beneath my feet, the air in my lungs and the sun on my skin. But this body isn't mine, not anymore.
Actually, it never was my body, I only borrowed it.

Kyla Sparks. When you remember this, me in front of the mirror, the banging from the seekers knock on the door, please, act like a soul would, act like I would. Keep your calm and you will get your reward; Freedom.
I have a back pack full of the things you will need, healing supplies, food. Water you'll need to get yourself, just go to a store outside the city and you'll be fine. Tell all my friends that I'm going on a vacation, a long vacation. You can write a letter to Tommy, I have done that already but I think he would like one from you too, an explanation from a human and not merely a host as he sees you.
I have clothes in the closet, most of them I don't think would suit you, you have a rather different taste as I have recalled.
Enough of my yibber-yabber. I thank you for this opportunity, Kyla. Really, I do, and I am so sorry for your loss as I am sure you will be of mine. I hope you will live a great life.
Thank you.
