Ian's POV
Wanda grabbed my arm and pulled me far into the tunnels. Wanda stopped and turned to face me. Her hair whipping around into her face. Well, it wasn't really her hair; her real form was not human but something so much more beautiful and amazing. I'd savoured the memory of her silvery Soul form and always thought of Wanda that way. I didn't love Wanda for he looks but for her. Wanda, herself, was beautiful on the inside. She loved and cared for everyone around her, sure, she had a slightly violent side, due to sharing a body with Mel for so long but that wasn't truthfully her. She was calm and gentle and hated violence. Even Jeb's small joke earlier had made her tense and upset.
"Are you okay?" she asked. Her eyes stared into mine as if she was searching me. I was fine, what did she assume was wrong?
"I'm fine. Why do you ask?" I replied. She didn't seem satisfied with my answer. "You lied to me earlier. You were deliberately glaring at Burns. What's your problem?" she asked me. Damn, she wasn't going to let it go. I hated the way he looked at her. The way she reacted to him. He obviously liked Wanda, he'd made no attempts to hide it, but I'd seen people's eyes stray on Wanda before. I doubted Souls were capable of being unfaithful to their partners but they inhabited human bodies and so even if they didn't, their bodies did. Wanda's host was petite and cute. Medium-length brunette hair framed her face and slightly curled nearer the front. Her eyes, were soft and resembled glittering emeralds. Her eyes were a gateway to the real Wanda. To my Wanda. I thought back to how I was going to reply. There was no point in lying, I'd attempted that before. "I can't help it, Wanda. The way he looks at you. He was obviously flirting with you." I protested.
"That doesn't matter, Ian. He doesn't matter. We matter. I love you, not Burns. Burns is a soul like me and we've both turned our backs on our kind. I feel close to him because I love you and everyone here but I can't help but feel alone sometimes. He's my friend, nothing more!" Wanda said. Sure, maybe it was like that for Wanda but I didn't think Wanda and Burns were on the same page. She did have a point, though. They were the same, and they had both turned their back on their own kind. Sadly, I had to admit defeat, in that aspect at least. I could never be that close to Wanda, but I refused to be defeated anymore. Wanda was mine. That wouldn't change. However, I knew that Wanda wouldn't appreciate that as a reply. "Wanda, it's my natural guy instincts!" I complained. I knew it was a lame excuse but I couldn't say how I really felt. Suddenly, her pleading gaze was replaced with an angry look. She glared at me as she spoke "Why can't you just say sorry?! Stop making excuses!" She'd exploded so suddenly I was shocked and the words just seemed to tumble out, without me even concentrating on the words my mouth was forming "Wanda, I'm not and I am sorry but I don't want you going near him. It just makes me jealous." I admitted. I was lying, I had been making excuses but I truly was sorry but I couldn't control how I felt. In a way, it wasn't an excuse, it was true. It was my natural guy instincts taking over. I didn't want Wanda anywhere near the slime ball.
"I can choose my own friends, thank you very much!" Wanda screamed at me "I don't need you controlling me!" Why was Wanda so angry? Why didn't she understand I couldn't help it? I leaned forward and grabbed Wanda's arm, without thinking. It probably wasn't the best idea but I wasn't thinking about how she'd react. "Get off of me!" Wanda shouted. I was sure Jeb and the others could definitely hear us now. She shook me off and ran down the tunnels, in the opposite direction of Mel and the others, away from me. As she was leaving I heard her mutter to herself "Oh shit,".
I am going to be on holiday, skiing for about a week so I probably won't be able to update but I will try and get my mum to take me to an internet café or something so I can update. I'll be writing chapters on holiday so I will hopefully be updating loads when I'm back. Plz keep reviewing, thanks,
