Author's Note: Hey guys, here is the first chapter for my new story and I hope you enjoy it :)


One:

~ Three Months Ago ~

Ember

My new host was definitely human, that I could easily tell as I began to slowly regain consciousness and a murmur of hushed voices was just audible in the distance. This was not my first host that was a human female, but I always despised getting transferred into a new body as I was forced to relive my host's last moments. This was no different and before I could even prepare myself for what was to come next, the memory came fast and vivid like I was actually living it.

Working late at the office was a drag, but Dad needed me to sort out this paperwork and yet he seemed to forget that I was seventeen and still in high school - yet I was his personal secretary.

So this host was young, only seventeen years of age in Earth and still in Education... What was her name?

"Seriously, Elle?" Chris's voice asked softly, wrapping her arms around my shoulders and placed a gently kiss on my neck "you're making us work at this time? We could be doing something much better, baby."

I turned my face to grin up at my girlfriend, looking at me with her beautiful green eyes and I really loved the way her shoulder-length blonde hair was slightly curly. I moved my lips to hers and kissed her, the kiss slowly becoming more passionate as she pulled me closer to her.

I cringed in disgust and horror, realising that I was in the body of a lesbian - that was something I truly hated about these humans, some of them did not mate for reproduction and mated for the those strange feelings called love... even if that person was of the same gender. These humans were a strange species.

I sat on the desk and wrapped my legs around Chris's slender waist, our breathing becoming heavier as I Chris hands slid my jacket off my shoulders and kissed the already sensitive spot on my neck.

"I love you," Chris sighed, pulling back to gaze at me intensely and pressed her soft lips against mine again.

Ugh! this is worst than torture, actually I would rather torture than be forced to watch this.

The door to the office burst and for a split second I feared it was my dad as we quickly pulled away from each other, but it was much worse. Seekers. Their eyes shinning an eerie bright blue, we'd heard rumours about these species and knew they were kidnapping humans to use their bodies. I guess apart of me was just hoping that they were just stories, but here they were. There were three of them and two of us, so there could be a small chance that we could escape.

"Greetings," A tall male said with a kind expression, but if the stories were true (which now they possibly are) then this was just an act "you must come with us."

"You can go fuck yourself!" Chris shouted as the Seeker walked up to her and she punched him hard in the face, while dodging the other two and sprinting out the door.

Oh, so your true love abandoned you? I thought to my host mockingly, knowing that love was overrated.

"Shut up!" a tearful voice said firmly in my head and I froze with fear, that was impossible... she can't be alive.

"Chris!" I yelled as two of the men grabbed my arms and the third sprayed a strange liquid in my face, instantly knocking me out.

Didn't put up much a fight, Elle. That's a shame.

From her memories, Elle seemed like a strong young woman, but with a gentle side that reminded me of a Healer. Why did she not fight when she could have tried to save herself? My guess was that she expected Chris to save her and put her faith into what seemed to be a selfish human girl. How naïve these humans are to trust and love.

My eyes slowly opened as Healer Iris smiled at me kindly, who were one of the few Healers I knew who kept her Host's name. I pulled myself into a sitting position on the table and placed my bare feet on the cold floor, feeling strange as I always did when I was inserted into a different host - no humans were the same.

"How do you feel?" the Healer asked, her voice full of concern.

"Fine," I said honestly, glancing at my shoulder to see dark hair which was almost black falling to my shoulders - my hair "may I see myself?"

Iris handed me a mirror and I finally got to see my new face. I was what some may call "naturally beautiful", my skin was flawless with an olive tone to it and my jet black hair fell straight to my shoulders. Her face... my face had a beauty that required no make up and there was not one part of it that wasn't perfection.

I was perfection.

"NO!" Elle's voice screamed, her tone filled with anguish "NO! This is my body and my life, you can't steal it from me!"

I smiled to myself, glad that my host was in emotional pain - true her presence in my body meant her soul was still alive and it may come as an annoyance, but the thought that this foolish little girl was suffering gave me great satisfaction.

No Elle, this is my body and my life and I shall do with it what I please... I think we're going to enjoy each other's company.

"I hate you!"
