Rain: Chapter duex which is two for those who don't know my odd speak. This is going to start a little before Wanda's body arrives, with Ian pondering his missing her to her waking up, and then intro into the rains. I won't be going as in depth as some go with scenes form the book, because you read the book. This is my fanfic and I want to give you my interpretations of scenes and such. This is not The Host novel, I won't copy out of it for these scenes. I will be introducing my OC Pandora in that chapter, and actually it's half written so you guys may be getting three chapters here tonight and no PJAO yet. Lucky ducks you are; Pan's profile is up on our page, I'll be adding a sketch of my own soon for her image. Until then her "close" image is an anime Pic that inspired her character. So, let's get writing, I suppose. I don't own a thing, except Pan, and the story line. Enjoy.

Chapter 4: Far Away
(Ian POV)
I stared at the silver container on my lap. I traced the smooth contours of the tank and thought of my beautiful Wanderer inside of it. I thought of how she would be with me again soon; Jamie told me that they found the body they wanted- a young girl called Petals Open to The Moon. She was the exact replica of Wanda, if Wanda had been born human; at least that's what Jamie told me. I didn't really care what she looked like, I just wanted to have my Wanderer in my arms again; physically that is. I looked up as I heard footfalls approach. Jamie's familiar fast steps made me smile and I looked up to greet the boy, still thinking of having Wanda back.
This time, this place
Misused, mistakes
Too long, too late
Who was I to make you wait?
Just one chance, just one breath
Just in case there's just one left
'Cause you know
You know, you know
"Ian! Ian!" Jamie cried. I grinned at the kid's enthusiasm and turned to say hi; his face made me stop though. The boy was way too happy to be coming to give me a progress report on Wanda's new body. He was radiating smiles and his face looked like it would break from smiling so wide. I knew something new had happened." She's here! Pet's body! Wanda is going to be here soon!"
My face broke into a smile that rivaled his own. I grabbed Wanda's tank back up in a firm hold and grinned at Jamie. He laughed and ran to meet Jared and Mel in the hall; Jared was carrying a small body that seemed to be made of gold and silver. I grinned, that had to be Pet. My Wanda would be coming home soon!
That I love you, I have loved you all along
And I miss you, been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me and you'll never go
Stop breathing if I don't see you anymore
One my knees, I'll ask
Last chance for one last dance
'Cause with you I'd withstand
All of hell to hold your hand
I'd give it all
I'd give for us
Give anything but I won't give up
Cause you know, you know, you know
Wanda; my Wanderer was finally home. I chanced a glance around the room, that was slowly filling up with people, and smiled. I leaned down and whispered to Wanda, my Wanda.
"Wanda, honey wake up," I said softly. I kissed her forehead, and her eyelids and they fluttered. I smiled; it was so odd having her in this body, but not uncomfortable. I smiled as her eyes opened up. My Wanderer was here, she was really going to stay. Her new silver eyes opened to the world and I knew that everything would be okay. I knew that I would have my Wanda for a long time to come. I felt such a relief seeing the silver ring in her also silver eyes." Wanda…"
Her name was like a prayer from my lips and I smiled as she spoke to everyone. I knew this all had to be so troubling to her. I kept her small hand in my own two large ones and smiled the whole time she was explained to. She was back; my soul my other half, was back to stay.
I love you So far away
I have loved you all along
And I miss you
Been far away for far too long
I keep dreaming you'll be with me
and you'll never go
Stop breathing if
I don't see you anymore
(So far away)
Been far away for far too long
So far away
(So far away)
been far away for far too long
But you know, you know, you know
(WANDA POV)
I was filled in, I was back on track, and I was angrier then ever; but at the same time so happy and confused. My family- my humans -had gone to so much trouble to make me stay here with them. I felt tears well up in my new silver eyes at the thought of staying with Ian, and dying with him. I turned towards him, so sad to have made him sad; to have made him wait and go through so much just for me.
"I love you," I murmured as Ian held me in an embrace. He smiled against my forehead and I knew he felt the same way. I knew that he was as happy as I was to have me back, and with him. I knew that we have both been far away- in a sense -from each other, far too long.
I wanted, I wanted you to stay
Cause I needed, I need to hear you say:
I love you (I love you)
I have loved you all along
And I forgive you (and I forgive you)
For being away for far too long, So keep breathing
Cause I'm not leaving you anymore, Believe in
Hold on to me and never let me go, Keep breathing
Hold on to me...never let me go (Keep breathing)
Hold on to me...never let me go
I felt like I was high on No-Pain again, but better; like Doc had created a new drug that only gave you happy feelings and made everything seem so bright and loving. I realized that this was a feeling no drug or human substance could give me. This was a feeling all my own, from being where I truly belonged. I knew that I was home, and I wouldn't be going anywhere for a long time.
******Don't Mind Me I'm A Time-Skip Bar******
The rains; the rains were here again. This year- almost three full years since I had been put inside this body and my true home -the other rebel clan was staying with us. Burns, Nate, and the others were stuck with us until the rains let up, so our family had grown from thirty-five to fifty, for a period of three to four weeks. I knew that there was something different about this rainy season though; there was a feeling in the air.
"Wanda?" Jamie asked from where his mattress lay beside mine and Ian's. I turned back and offered him a questioning smile." You're okay right? You seem pensive- more then usual anyway."
"I'm fine Jamie," I said. I marveled at how the boy had grown. I was now "twenty-one" (truly twenty) in this body and he was eighteen, going on nineteen. My little Jamie, was now truly a grown man. He had grown almost as tall as Ian and Jared over the three simple years, and his features had chiseled out. I smiled at Jamie- still my favorite out of all my family though I would never admit it -and studied this transformation." Just a weird feeling, I feel like something is about to happen…"
"Maybe," Jamie pondered," You haven't been wrong yet." He was right, this body seemed to have a great sense of knowing things before they happened." Maybe someone new is going to show up! Oh that would be great!"
I smiled and then looked up as Ian ran into the room holding what seemed to be a small child. It wasn't until he came closer did I noticed that it was a woman, a small woman. I was the smallest in the clan- where all the men were six feet and over I was only five foot three -but this woman seemed barely five foot, and looked so much like a child it scared me.
"She was found outside in the freezing rain," Ian explained laying the woman near Doc. Doc started checking the woman over as Jared and Kyle appeared holding a duffle bag and a case which Pet's mind remembered as a guitar case." We think she's like you Wanda…"
Pet's body was right again, we had a new visitor in the caves.
Rain: So, I lied when I started typing this because I fell asleep on my laptop and I was working today. I'm working on next chapter now, and the PJAO chapter once Emma gets hers up- if she ever does with the week she had. So, thank you to the one review I got I would love some more, but I'm not picky. I'm writing because I love it, not for recognition. R&R if you want though.
