Welcome to my first official story on Fanfiction. Hope you like it.

I do not own The Host (Stephenie Meyer does) or had any involvement in making it, nor do I own some of the characters.

[Note: I do not do other POVs (Point Of Views). Sorry, I only stick to one character - my main]

Prologue :: Brain Freeze

Mouth open wide, spoon in hand and a tub of vanilla ice-cream right in front of her. 'This is the life, right?" Matthew smiled his usual wide teeth grin at Stella as she stuck the ice-cream in her mouth. Stella Gray could only react with rolling her eyes at his stupid joke – since her mouth was full of creamy vanilla ice-cream. How was this the life? Stella thought, thinking that 'endless hell' was more suitable.

She swallowed hard after getting a horrid brain freeze, "ah, brain freeze," she cringed, pressing her fingers hard against her temples before the icy stabbing pain disappeared from her head. She picked up the spoon from beside her and began to brush the dirt of it. 'Argh, shouldn't have placed it on the ground,' she frowned, giving it a few blows and wipes until it radiated the moon's shine.

Without a word, Matthew stood up and stretched, staring down at Phoenix. He walked away from the small clearing they sat on - on top of the mountain, approaching the edge of the mountain, hands on hips as though he was pretending to be a superhero or something, he watched Phoenix, Arizona. 'What a loser,' Stella smiled, rolling her eyes at him again.

"Hey, Stell," He called out to Stella, turning around to face her, "you think there's any humans' down there?" He asked, pointing his thumb at Phoenix. Stella blinked at his question and turned to glance at Phoenix, then shook her head with no thought of it.

"I doubt it Matt," she called back to him, "so, please don't get curious," she warned him. 'Because that's how you almost got caught last time,' she thought to herself, warning herself in a way to keep an eye on him. "Anyway, we should go to sleep. We have to wake up early tomorrow to move destinations," she called out, pulling the blanket she wore tighter around herself.

Matt paused, glanced at Phoenix once more before returning back to the clearing where their tent stood.

End of Prologue. Review please as it gives me inspiration.
