Do not own the host…yet maybe my plans of stealing it will happen one day. Hope you enjoy this chapter :)

"She's different then what the others were." I heard Jared's voice echo slightly through the caves.

"What you mean?" a deeper voice answered, I had guessed Kyle but I wasn't sure.

"It was crying and emotional, I almost thought it was really Alex." What did they think we were? I admit being in a human gave me more depth to emotions but we do feel no matter what.

"It's just messing with your head." Kyle retorted he almost spitted out the words.

"Maybe." I heard his back hit the wall and slide down, Kyle left with humph. I moved quietly to the other end of the cave, I sat where I thought he would be sitting on the others side. I felt guilty for what I had said last night; I knew it was wrong to say no matter what the truth was.

"I'm sorry." I tried to be as loud as my voice could bare. I waited quietly just listening to his breathing and the slight echoes in the cave.

"Why?" he finally replied, he sounded sad I wanted to know why.

"What I said before" he stood up and looked around the doorway at me. "I know it was uncalled for, I don't know what came over me." Surprisingly he sat next to me, there was a distance between us but I shouldn't hope for more.

"Why does it matter to you?" I shrugged, I avoided eye contact knowing it would make him move away. As normal he tightened his grip on the gun. "Who are you?"

"I'm not a seeker if that's what you mean. I guess I'm a little different." He laughed when I said little, I looked down.

"Why did you come so far from the city, I thought you were all social things?" I decided to try and get a glimpse of him, he was closer then I thought possible. He met my gaze, for a moment I thought I saw no hate. I was mistaken he stood up and walked to the doorway, he waited for my answer.

"I wanted to be alone." He walked away, returning to his post.

Time pasted, Jeb had taken over guard duty. He began to realise I wasn't much of a threat, he talked to me as I sat in silence. He called me by my name, brought me food it was as if he cared a little for me. I guess it had been about 5 days maybe a week at most, Jeb came into my cave this time the gun was in his hands.

"Morning" Jeb stood in the archway, his gun held loosely in his hands. I had become in the need of other human wants. I knew I should ask but I felt too scared and embarrassed. I crossed my legs hoping the pain would stop.

"You've been in here a while." He said. "You need to…"

I nodded.

"Well I could really use a walk myself" he seemed strangely energized by the fact of taking me out of here into the public.

"Are you sure that's okay?" I asked. He laughed at me and walked over to me in big strides.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine." He gave me a smile, how I hoped I would get more of them. I followed him through the dark caves silently keeping as close as possible.

"So, I've seen you've been getting quite close to Jared." I couldn't tell if it was a question but I answered anyway.

"More like making him more murderous towards me." He pattered my shoulder.

"Don't worry, I bet one day he'll be friendlier then me." Somehow I hoped he was right, but he would go near me with out a gun. That cold heartless object was the only thing stopping me from touching his skin. I imagined it to be tough like dry dirt but warm like a small flame. These ideas were most unlike me, I shouldn't want a human; a savage evil creature that wishes my death to be slow and painful.

"One day." I could hear the hope in my voice, as could Jeb.

"What is it about him?" I felt his eyes on my face, I avoided eye contact as mush as possible.

"I wonder that myself, he seems so savage but his eyes just look at me with fear and curiosity." I tried to look at his face, he seemed unmoved only smug. He led me through more caves, through more darkness. I began to wonder if these humans had become nocturnal, a silly idea but explained a little about them.

Time had passed, Jeb had already led me to the cave where my "needs" were taken care of.

"Bath time Al?" he looked at me with that smile I had grown to have comfort with, he didn't seem to ever frown. I nodded; my clothes were discoloured with dirt and sweat. The smell was becoming unbearable I thought it would make me leave this body and fly to the origin. He disappeared for a moment and returned with clothes around his arm. A pair of black jeans and a shirt and by the looks of it, it was a man's shirt. A small towel was also folded with the clothes. I didn't complain as he gave me them and led me to a new cave.

Even in here it was dark and almost impossible to see. I found a rock next to the river like thing in the cave. Slowly as if I feared someone would watch me I took off my clothing. Left only in my underwear I tried to find the river, the cold water made me shiver as my toe touched it. I took a deep breath and stepped in, a hiss as the cold hit my pale body.

It felt good after a while as I let the water cover my hair and body, I could feel the dirt leaving me finally. "Where the hell is it?" the voice was quiet but I could tell they were shouting. Jared's voice was distinctive and I knew he was back and looking for me. His footsteps echoed closer and closer. I dipped in the water once more and jumped out. I grabbed the towel as a light shined on me. I adjusted to the bright light only to see his face, pale and shocked. The towel barely covered me, I glared at him his voice unable to escape his throat.

"Please may I dress before you decide to attack me or argue, which ever you prefer." He didn't say anything but turned around, for a savage he had manners at least. I dressed quickly, shoving the jeans and T-shirt over my damp body. I cleared my throat as a signal to him. He turned around and stared again, I could barely see his face his expression wasn't negative. He sat down on the floor, he was silent. His silence beckoned me over so I did as he didn't say.

"Why are you wearing my shirt?" He tugged on the sleeve, I looked at his hand. There was no gun, no defensive pose, and no threat which would kill me, only his own strength could bring me harm.

"Jeb gave me it." He nodded once, his eyes looking at the floor.

"What is it about you?" I looked at him in a confused manner. "Why do I…Why." He didn't want to say it but I knew I should let him speak to himself. "I know I may regret this but I need to settle myself." He looked at me, his hand touched my arm. A little droplet of water ran down his hand, his touch made me shiver. His other hand touched my face, a burning sensation ran through my body.

"What are you doing?" I couldn't escape his eyes, they bored into my soul as it he could see my true silver skin shine in my eyes. His face came closer, I became scared this closeness was something I hadn't even experienced this much with a soul. His lips touched mine, involuntarily my lips moved as his did. It felt like a life time through that kiss I almost melted under the heat I felt. He pulled away, the hate and fear which was normally there had vanished, ran away from his heart. His hands dropped away from my body, we stood up together. He touched my waist for a second before leaving. My only thought was how that was even possible, was it a memory or a miracle.

Not sure if I should carry on but I hope I will. Thanks for reading :)
