I BET YOU GUYS ARE WONDERING WHO THE MYSTERIOUS "SHE" THAT WANDA IS SO WORRIED ABOUT IS. WELL, YOU'LL FIND OUT SOON. REVIEWS PLEASE? I WANT TO KNOW WHAT YOU THINK OF THIS STORY. THANKS! NOW, ONTO CHAPTER TWO:

I needed to see if Ian was still in there. It could be the same as with me and mel. Jamie was asleep, but I wasn't so sure about Melanie. "goodnight, mel," I tested to see if she was asleep. She was. I carefully slid off the mattress and crept through the caves making sure not to make any noise. I headed to where they were keeping Ian. I didn't need to ask, and I didn't need to be told where he was. I already knew. I finally saw the dull glow of the blue lanterns up ahead and I hesitated. Was I ready for this? It had hurt so much losing Ian. After two years of living without him, and then him returning all of a sudden…it hurt. But at least he was back. He had kept his promise, even if it wasn't just him anymore, he still came back. Only Ian would be able to get back here, so he was still in there. yes, I decided I am ready. I gathered my courage and took a step forward, and then a hand clamped down on my shoulder. "Going somewhere?" a deep voice said.

I shrieked and whirled to stand face to face with jared. "Jared," I breathed "You scared me! You've really got to stop doing that." "Well, you knew SOMEONE was going to be down here." his voice was cynical. "I guess I didn't think about that," I muttered and then took a step towards Ian's prison. Jared's hand left my shoulder and came to rest on my arm. "Hold up." his voice held the slightest bit of sarcasm in it. "Now, correct me if i'm wrong…but I don't think your supposed to be down here." I knew what was coming now. I turned to face him. His hand on my arm was both comforting and a restraint. "Jared, please let me go," I begged"I've got to see him. I've got to." "Wanda,you know you're not supposed to be here. Remember how you treated me when you were in melanie's body? The soul thats in there is not going to be rational toward you. You can't let him see you. You can't." "But Ian is in there! I know that he is! He's got to be." "We DON'T know that, wanda. we don't know he's in there somewhere. We don't want to give the soul any unneeded information." thats when I started to cry. I went for the sympathy card. Except that the tears were real. "But don't you understand, Jared?" I pleaded "He promised. He promised me that he'd come back. If theres a soul in him, thats the only way he would be able to keep his promise. He's in there jared. Just like I was in there with Melanie. Ian does not break promises to me. I've got to see him." "Wanda, please. Think about them." I stiffened up when he said that. I hadn't thought about them. " he went on without noticing my stiffness. "He can't know about them, wanda," Jared whispered. "If he gets out of here knowing about them he'll tell the seekers. And then what will happen to them? You know what will happen." I shuddered I did know what would happen. "Think about jamie. Think about how he would react to that." I opened my mouth to say something but then closed it. Jamie would freak. Just then pounding footsteps sounded throughout the cave. It was mel. I was busted. "WANDA!" she didn't she me at first. "Jared, wheres wanda?" she gasped. "I'm right here,mel," I murmured. "Wanderer! You scared me!" I could see that I had. Melanie rushed forward and puled me into a tight hug. "You're not supposed to be down here. Don't ever do that again!" "Sorry, mel," I said. I never agreed not to do it again. "Come on, we're going back to our room," Melanie said firmly. She grabbed my hand and began to pull me to our room. I did, however, cast a quick glance over my shoulder. I still couldn't see Ian. I whispered "I love you, Ian," just before mel dragged me out of sight.
