Briana's Prov.

I turn around at the voice. No it can't be. He died along with everyone else. It's not. . . "Jamie?" I whisper.

I stare into those gorgeous brown eyes that I thought I would never see again. They looked into mine and I saw uncertainty flint his gaze than shock than joy. I'm sure his were a mirror of my own emotions. Than I heard a gun being cocked. Crap! I can't believe I lost my focus! Stupid stupid stupid. I flew back around to face the danger. The man who originally had the gun didn't have it any more. I realized that somebody was missing to late. Something cold, hard, and round was pressed to the side of my head.

"Drop the guns." a voice rumbled. When I still stood frozen he yelled, "Now!"

I lowered to the ground so I could put my guns down. They weren't loaded, but they didn't know that. The gun stayed in contact with my head as I bent to the ground. As soon as I the guns were on the ground I moved fast and kicked the mans feet from under him.

As he fell I took the gun from his hands and pointed it at him. He took one of my guns and tried to shoot. But it wasn't loaded. I smirked at him.

"Briana! Don't!"

I turned to look at Jamie keeping the man in my peripheral vision and gun on him. "How are you here?" I asked Jamie.

"How are you here?" He threw back at me.

"I escaped." I answered

"So did I"

"But. . ." I thought they were souls. I looked at the man on the ground and realized that he didn't have that ring of silver in his eyes. "Are you joking? You must be kidding. There are more humans?!" I was still looking at the man in disbelieve, so he answered.

"Yeah. Ummm. . .you aren't a soul?"

"Do I look like a soul? No I'm not" I lowered the gun and reached out to help him up. He grabbed my hand and stood.

"Well then. Since that's cleared up. I'm Jeb and you are in my house. And holding my gun."

I looked up at the old man who I had the stand off with. He was walking over to us. I handed him his gun and got mine off the floor. I put them in there place and looked up at him. "Nice to meet you, Jeb. I'm Briana and it seems that you have kidnapped me. Or at least they have." I looked at the group of people behind him.

Jeb grinned at me and made introductions. "That's Ian." He pointed to the man I that knocked me out. "That's Jared." He nodded to the man that I kicked to the ground. "And him over there is Kyle. Got him real good, you know." I smiled at Kyle. The man I punched when they came at me.

"Well he got what he deserved." I said to Jeb. That made him laugh out loud.

"That's what most people say. That's Melanie." He pointed to Jamie's sister

"Yeah, I know" I smiled at her. We never met before but Jamie talked about her a lot before the invasion.

"So it seems." Jeb said. "That's Doc." He indicated a man in a lab coat. He nodded at me.

I looked at everyone there and said "Hi". But I noticed the twelve-year-old hidden behind Ian. "Who's that?" I asked, pointing to the girl behind Ian.

Everyone tensed after that question and there was an equally tense silence. "I would really like to know the person who totally slipped under my lie-radar." I joked.

"Her names Wanda." Jamie said from next to me. He moved to my side during the introductions.

"Well, Wanda," I said " looks like you're the smartest of the bunch." A few people chuckled at my weak joke.

"She's a. . ."Jamie hesitated. As if unsure if he should say what he wants to tell me. I look at Jamie and followed his gaze to the girl behind Ian. I looked at Ian and he meet my gaze with mistrust clearly showing. I went back to when Wanda jumped out in front of my car. My headlights reflected the silver light that was the only physical difference between human and soul.

"A soul." I finished for him.
