A/N: So about…two or so years ago I bought, read, and finished the Host. This idea has been in my head since I am finally confident with it enough to write. This is going to be set around the same time that the Host is set and there will be a few references to it so keep an eye out!

Chapter. 1

Caught

Keep running. Don't stop. Left foot, right foot. You can't let them catch you. She repeated to herself over and over, her limbs sore. You can't let them take you, can't let them have her. Not without a fight. She looked behind her only for a second to see the black clad Seekers chasing after her. One had taken the body of someone she knew but it didn't matter. She ran in the dead field that was outside the building she had hidden in. She was sure they wouldn't have been able to find her but she was wrong. They found her in only a week. The field she ran in was full of decaying trees and brown grass and she felt the pointy stems tug at her bare feet.

"Stop! We don't want you harmed!" The intruder yelled to her in the familiar voice. She felt the tears run down her face and an ache in her stomach.

"Never!" She screamed back, her lungs burning. She couldn't let them catch her, not after everything she found out. Everything had just started to be right for her and like a cruel joke it was snatched away. They came faster and faster and she couldn't hold out anymore. She wrapped her arms around her waist, to her slightly extended stomach and stopped running. Her knees buckled underneath the sudden shift and she fell to a kneel. She closed her eyes and hugged her mid-section. "I am so sorry…" Her tears fell to dead grass and she listened as the Seekers caught up to her. She felt someone of them grab her arms to keep her restrained. It didn't matter, she wouldn't fight anymore, not when everything wasn't going to be the way she wanted. She lifted her head to see the face of the Seeker that she knew and once loved. There was almost pity in the silver rimmed eyes and she couldn't help the anger that had built. It was in vain as one of the lifted her by her arms and lead her to a team of Healers. She watched as they took her in and she could have sworn she saw pain in one of the Healers eyes but it couldn't have been true. They were the ones causing her pain. They put her into a metal truck that reminded her one the ones criminals were put into. In it was another human, a little boy no older than maybe thirteen. He had pale blonde hair and sapphire eyes, she couldn't help but to let out a small cry. As she sat on the metallic seats she looked down at her stomach again. "So sorry, baby." She whispered hearing the truck start up.

"This one was found on the outskirts of Portland." A deep voice said. Three figures stood over a metal table in a sterile room reeking of antiseptic.

"It's plain to see she is in good health, slight malnourishment." Another lighter voice said as the owner leaned over the naked body covering it in a thin blanket. "Portland you say?" The other nodded. "Hmm then why bring her here?" The light voice belonged to a Soul with light hair and dark eyes, she was the Healer of the facility in Seattle.

Another voice answered. "The facility in Portland is not up to shape, we only started colonizing last month." This one was called Lunar Waves from the Dolphin world. "Besides we have a Soul who requested to be in a body specifically like this one." Lunar Waves looked back to the deep voice owner. "Isn't that right Seeker?"

"Of course." The Seeker walked forward and examined the body of the human he had caught only 48hrs ago.

"I hear the Soul that I am inserting is from Spider planet. This is only the third world they will be on." The other two agreed with the Healer. The Healer turned to a metal container from the lab table opposite of the body. "I also hear." She took a scalpel from the table and slowly ran it down the body's tanned neck. She couldn't help but feel a slight pity for the human, they had only wanted to be free. "That she is carrying a child." This Lunar Waves hadn't known. The Seeker nodded. "Well more power to the Soul." She muttered and carefully lifted the lid of the metal container. Inside lay the dormant essence of the Soul that would take over the body. With expert skill and finesse, the Healer let the Soul slither it's way into the slightly bleeding cut in the neck. Only seconds ticked by before the monitor scanned and let the other three know that all 24 points of connection were attached and working. The Healer felt a small sense of joy and helped the Seeker lay the body back onto it's back. The Healer carefully laid a hand onto the stomach of the now occupied body. In all of the millennia she had been a Healer, on other worlds, she had never done an insertion to a pregnant Host. "You must awaken young one," She leaned forward to the ear and whispered, "you have big things to fulfill." The eyes of the host fluttered slowly open and changed in a nanosecond from the dark eyes of a human to be rimmed by the silver lining of a Soul.

A/N: Yeah I know, crap beginning but trust me. It'll get better.
