is going to definately finish this :) no matter how long it takes
"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."
It took a few seconds to collect myself; I stared off into the dark cave which he had left through. I suddenly felt a fire burn in me, it wasn't a good fire. I sorted through what little I knew of humans, this feeling was anger and I wanted to let it out.
I followed the echoing steps till a figure appeared before me. "Who the hell do you think you are?" I screamed at him, he didn't move. "What are you trying to do?"
"What do you mean?" he turned slowly and unwillingly. I could tell by his tone of voice that he knew exactly what I meant.
"You hate me, you want to kill me and then you want to kiss me. I don't understand you people." Something I said had angered him; he stormed over to me with fire burning in his eyes.
"I still hate you, that was nothing." He shouted, luckily no one appeared to be around. My mind wondered for a bit thinking where Jeb was, I gave myself a mental slap I needed to stay in this conversation.
"You don't hate me, I can see it in your eyes. You fear me not because I might be dangerous but because you want me and feel that is so wrong because of what I am. You may think I'm heartless and I can't see emotion or feel it but I can. The way you stare, your tone of voice, you regret not killing me because you desire me and this body. Don't you?" my breathing was harsh as were my words but this fire wanted to burn him. I didn't fully see what happened next, his hands tight around my neck pushing me against the cave wall.
"Your wrong, you have to be wrong." His voice broke I could see his eyes welling up with tears. I couldn't speak as he was choking without signs of letting go. Pain escalated from my hand, I had it balled in to fist against the wall. A sharp rock poked out of the wall stabbing my hand, the warm blood raced down my hand and dripped on the floor.
His hands loosened around my neck and fell to my shoulders. One hand lifted and punched the wall by my head. His head limped onto my shoulder, tears poring out of his all too angelic eyes. My good hand lifted to touch his back and press him into an awkward hug.
"You can't tell anyone about this." He muffled from my shoulder. "Please can we just keep this to ourselves." I leaned my head on his.
"Of course, I'll tell everyone you hate me and want me dead. By everyone I mean Jeb." A little motion came to his body, almost like a laugh. He lifted his head, blood shot eyes stared at mine. He looked to my bleeding hand, and lifted it in front of him.
"Sorry." He dropped it and ripped a piece of his shirt then taking my hand and wrapping the fabric around the cut.
"It wasn't your fault." He didn't say anything but just held my hand staring at the crusting blood. He looked at my face again then my bruising neck, he touched my neck regretting the pain he had caused me, this body.
"Al you finished yet?" Jared kissed me again his lips stayed there for a while almost hovering. He didn't look me in the eye as he left, he was just a ghost in the darkness haunting my hostage like life. Jeb returned, the gun held loosely as if he would drop it and not notice its disappearance. He stared at me shock filling his expression.
"What happened?" I began to cry, a river of tears filled my eyes. He sat next to me silently. "Is it the caves?" I shook my head. I actually liked these caves and the mysteries it held my problem was the boy who couldn't bare his heart.
"Alright well first I think we'll she Doc." This name was unfamiliar to me, I guessed from his name he was a human healer a doctor. I nodded without question. My mind wondered back to Jared this strange human man. He desired me or maybe the body, I didn't ever get any sort of feel of him like this in the memories. If he didn't want her then and wants me now, maybe I'm what he wants.
I kept reliving what happened, the way he kissed me, the way his breath felt and smelled as he breathed. I was following Jeb absentmindedly that I walked into him as he stopped.
"Well here we are," he smiled at me. "Doc? You here?" I heard a slight grumble as if this Doc was saying yes I'm here.
"I need you to look at her hand she…" he trailed off staring at me. I guessed after a moment he wanted me to answer what had happened.
"Fell and hit my hand on a rock," it sounded more like a question then an answer, I could tell Jeb didn't believe me but he didn't dwell on it.
"Ok," he stared at me for a moment, Jeb and he switched glances. "I guess I'll take a look." He unwrapped the make-shift bandage and glanced at it with eyes filled with wisdom. His lips were tight together, I knew he didn't want to help me but no one would say no to Jeb.
He removed rock pieces and cleaned the wound. With out any pain killers he decided to stitch up my wound and place another make shift like bandage. My wound still bled for a while but I ignored it.
"Thank you." I said quietly as we left, he only nodded most likely because I wasn't worth talking to as I wasn't worth a real bandage.
"I've decided something." I waited for him to finish, a cheeky smirk was stuck on his face. "I've talked with someone and they have allowed you to stay in their room. That was nice of them right?" I nodded.
"Who?" he put his arm around my shoulders and squeezed me; I had seen this sort of action with a father and child in human films.
"Jared." I froze, I thought he want to avoid me. Fear arose in me, what did he want with me?
"Alex?" a voice of what I guessed was a young boy called over. "Alex is that you." He jogged over to us, wide-eyed and smiling. He laughed and hugged me tightly, I didn't know whether to hug him back or not.
"Hello?" I stared at him, he stared back confused.
"This is Jamie…Jared's brother." I stared at him, they looked little a like. "Jamie this is Alice. The "it" everyone is talking about." He jumped back away from me, I wanted to go and hug him back as a motherly instinct came over me.
"Oh." Was all he said as he stared at me with misery and anger. "Can I talk to her or does she not speak much?" Jeb laughed.
"She speaks depends what mood she's in, give her a try." I felt a little like a toy being handed between children.
"Alice, can you tell me about your world?" I nodded, silently Jeb left.
"What about it?" he stood looking awkward for a bit.
"What are you?" he seemed to want to know simple things thankfully.
"A soul, an alien to you really. I'm guessing you want to know why we need these bodies of yours?" he nodded.
"Well we can't survive in your atmosphere so we need to adapt by adding a sort of armour to it. The bodies of creatures on the planet are perfect, most planets we go to are violent and terrible places till we…sort them" my words made it sound cruel, to some extent it was.
"How was she…" his voice trailed off into silence.
"She knocked her head while trying to get away no serious injuries at all." That seemed to cheer him up a little.
"Did you choose her?" I shook my head.
"I arrived just as she was found and they chose her for me." He nodded slightly, he was fiddling with his top nervously. "Please don't be scared of me or hate me." I begged him. I looked at his young innocent face, I wanted to care for him like a mother would.
"I don't think I am. You don't act like they describe you kind of things. They said you were an evil parasite that has taken over and is a real life body snatcher film," Nice it thought to myself. "But you seem like a nice person to me." He gave me a wary smile and stood up.
"You must be hungry." I looked for Jeb who was stood at the edge of the cave, he nodded letting me leave with Jamie. I already felt as if this was freedom, I didn't want to tell them that I wanted to stay till the body grew old. How would I ever tell them the world we tried to erase is the world I want to be in?
