A/N: Wow this got more follows than I thought it would…cool. Well since I'm happy, here's an update! Oh btw, creating Soul names sucks. Sorry if they sound bad but it's spring of the moment names here.
Chapter.2
Invasive
"Huhmm." All three pairs of silver eyes looked down at the source of the noises. The Healer smiled as the Soul looked at her with new eyes. "Huh…" The Soul tried to open it's mouth but was too tired to. The body it occupied was tired from the endless fight the human had given and the Soul had to fight to stay awake.
"Shh, don't stress young one." The Healer smoothed back the slightly damp hair on the Soul's head. "It will take time to come to grasp with your new body. I am Healer Dust In Wind, I also go by D.W. This," she motioned to the two male Souls, "is Lunar Waves, my assistant, and your Seeker." The Seeker stepped forward and the Soul struggled to focus eyes on him.
"Seeker Burning Stars." The Seeker introduced himself. "Does she understand us?" Burning Stars looked at D.W. for confirmation.
Healer D.W. nodded. "As you probably remember from your insertion, she can hear like you and I can. Her mind might be a little fuzzy though, am I correct?" She looked down at the Soul, who nodded frailly. "Can you speak or would you like to choose a name later?" The Soul remained quiet and so D.W. assumed the second one. D.W. turned to the Seeker. "She needs to sleep. Not only is she as a Soul exhausted but her new body is under an intense amount of stress from the child it bares. I suggest you leave for now and come back in the morning." It was 8 p.m. "I will alert you if anything happens in the next 12 hours." She gave a trusting smile and the Seeker had to return.
Burning Stars nodded and looked to Lunar Waves. "Will you walk me out and leave your mentor to tend to her." Lunar Waves led the way out the sliding blurry glass doors. D.W. stayed quiet for a few minutes listening to the sound of retreating footsteps. She sighed and sat in the lone chair in the room. The Soul on the cold table still lay there with hooded eyes trying to gather her bearings. D.W. watched wistfully for a moment before gathering her tired host to stand next to the table again.
"You must be confused as to the condition of your new body. I wish I could say this is normal but it is not and I am not sure I can help you to the fullest." She laid her hand onto the shoulder of the Soul. "Do you want to know the name of the human who once lived in this body?" It wasn't regulated or even something that happened often but D.W. was one of the few Healers that would rather tell than wait for the Soul to remember. The Soul closed her eyes for a few minutes before little trickles of water came from her eyes. There was an alarmed look in them and D.W. squeezed her shoulder in a comforting manner. "Tears are common in this species. The body produces them when emotions fluctuate. It is absolutely normal, especially in your condition. Now the name?"
The Soul moved her lips and a hoarse voice answered. "Yes." D.W. smiled.
"Her name was Emily Hanson, only nineteen years of age." The Soul nodded and closed her eyes once more. "Would you like to move to a more comfortable rest area?" She held out her hands and the Soul took them gratefully. "Careful as your rise. The extra weight on this body will throw your footing off and you may be dizzy. Also, you have no clothing on." D.W. added the last part in a quick rush of words. The Soul let herself be pulled into a sitting position before moving her legs over the side of the table. She gathered the silver blanket that covered the body and held it close. "One foot a time and let your muscles and reflexes move naturally." The Soul struggled to keep her footing, the 'extra weight' was the cause.
"Thank you." The hoarseness in her voice was ebbing away and the Soul was almost shocked at the sound of her new voice. It was strong and slightly lower than that of Dust In Wind but with a hint of gentleness that could almost make the voice that of a scammer. The Soul thought carefully of the name of the human she now occupied. Emily. That summoned a strange feeling within her and her abdomen was willed with an almost fluttering feeling. Her eyes widened and both hands flew to cover her stomach. "What is that?" She whispered. She looked up bewildered as Healer D.W. laughed.
"A fluttering feeling?" The Soul nodded. "That is most likely the feeling of the human child moving within your Host." The Soul was suddenly filled with fear. She had known she was going to inhabit an expecting human but the feeling itself was one she was unfamiliar with. "The body is about three and a half months into the pregnancy, in about five months you will go under a birth or surgery, whichever you wish, to have the child leave your body to grow on it's own." The Soul was overwhelmed with this information and the thought of loosing the fluttering feeling made her more scared. "But do not worry, we will go over this all when you awaken tomorrow if you wish." D.W. lead her to another white door on the opposite of the sliding doors. She opened the door with a series of numbers on a key pad and let her walk in first. The body's legs wobbled slightly upon entering and D.W. had to steady her. "This is a spare bedroom for Souls that have just awaken and aren't fully adept." She flicked on a switch and the room was illuminated almost blindingly. "You may rest here and in that closet," she pointed to another door, "are spare clothing and necessities. For now put this on and you may rest." She took an almost silver material from the top of a desk near the door and held it out. It was what the Soul slowly registered as a night gown. D.W. helped her slide the thin material on and into the plush, all white, bed. "Sleep soundly young one. Tomorrow is the beginning of your life here and what better way to start it then by choosing a name?" D.W. smoothed back the hair of the Soul once more, almost motherly, before leaving the room and turning off the light. The Soul lay in the almost too comfortable bed with the blankets up to her chin. She hadn't had enough time to assess almost anything of the planet she now lived on. All she knew was by what her Healer looked like that they weren't like anything she had ever seen. Nor were the living areas. One side of the room had a large window and she turned to look out it. The moon greeted her behind open blinds and she stared at it for some time. The feeling she had inside her felt foreign and water built in her eyes as she couldn't contain them. This was a very strange world and body she had been inserted into. A thought that she hadn't thought herself flooded into her mind.
Inserted? More like invaded.
A/N: The chapters will be short ones but I'll try to get them to be as good as long ones. The name of our new Soul will come to play next chapter. Review!
