We've been walking for hours. I have no idea what time it is, but it's bright in this caves, so it surely is day. I am chocked how the humans managed to do so well in this caves. Building all of this in three years overthrows me. I say nothing when I walk behind Jeb. People are staring at us -me- but I give them the same stare back. This people still disgust me, but right now I need to look for an escape from this place, so I have to act interested.

I do find some things interesting however. Amazed by the mirrors floating in the air above me, I stop right in my steps, looking up. Jeb doesn't notice and keeps going, talking to himself. All the colors are remarkable. And I thought you never could find any beautiful in this caves..

Looking over the field, I suddenly see him. He is working hard I can see. With his back against me, he can't see me. Should I hate him? Yes. Feeling people stopping around him to look at me with confused looks, he quickly turns around to see what everybody is so all caught up with.

When his eyes meet mine he with the speed of light mumbles something to the woman nearest him and move out. He was escaping. Clearly it shouldn't be a problem with me hating him, because he did the exact thing to me. Still, I don't think it would be so easy for him to avoid me. I mean, we had come close these past weeks.

Frowning, I run to catch up with Jeb, still talking to himself. Yawning I look down at my shoes, all dirty. But everything down here is anyway.
''So, how did they do it?'' My head snaps up at the question, puzzled. What was he talking about?
''The operation. What's your name anyway?'' I didn't understand the first part, so I just answered the second one.
''I am Ivy.'' He starts chuckling and shakes his head in defeat.
''No, I mean your soul name.''

My mouth form into a tiny o. He thought I was a soul? The back of my head remembers something about the humans accused me to be a soul. My time in the cell had really got to me hadn't it?
''I'm h-human.'' There, I said it. Even though I hated humans, this was the truth. And mom and dad had told me to tell nothing but the truth. There was no need for lying, because the new world was safe.

''No you're not. Sure, there are no signs of the transplant, but we can see it. Why else would you react the way you did?'' He thinks I am lying?
''I… you wouldn't understand.'' He frowns at me saying this and nods his head, turning away from me. It was true though. He would never understand what I felt for my family. This guy don't have a heart.

''Ivy right?'' A voice behind me says. I am in the hospital. Doc is gone and I am just sitting here in this extremely uncomfortable hard bed. I've been staring into space for a while now. Thinking I was alone, I had let my body relax. But now when there was someone here with me that was not Doc I feel my body stiffen as I turn around. The voice sounded like Kyle and I knew he had come to kill me.

A man in his mid twenties is standing on the other side of the room. He is huge and very tall. It like his whole body is built out of muscles. Unless the others, his skin is pale. Messy black hair, a perfect, aquiline nose, and striking blue eyes – Kyle pops up in my head. They look almost identical. I press myself away from him, scared. I remember what Wes had told me about Ian, but it didn't matter. For all I know, Ian had as much purpose to kill me as Kyle.

''I am not going to hurt you. I just want to say thank you.'' I raise one eyebrow. What the hell is he talking about?
''Thanks to you I am standing.'' Not thinking, I smile at him. I mentally slap myself. Don't smile at him you moron! His brother almost killed you. Don't thrust him!
''I didn't do a-anything,'' I stammer. He frowns and leans against the wall.
''Yes, it was Noah who helped. But Wes told me it was thanks to you.'' My cheeks are heating up. Damn it Ivy, stop blushing!

''No problem.'' He gives me one more smile before taking a few steps towards me, sitting down on the bed closest to me. Is he waiting for me to join him? Hell no.
''Can I ask you something?'' I take a deep breath before nodding. Why didn't I just shake my head and get this over with? I guess it was something inside me that made me give Ian a chance.
''Why do you care so much about the body sn… souls?'' Meeting his blue eyes, I find myself not liking them. They are too... blue. It reminds me of someone.

Should I tell him? Studying his face and his body posture, I decides he is not going to hurt me. At least not that easy. I have a advantage standing up, while his body is all relaxed.
''I lived with them. They love me as much as I love them.'' It was hard to explain and I was afraid of how he would react. Remembering Noah getting angry and violent, I press myself against the wall harder.
''They kept you human?'' He is clearly shocked. But he isn't angry, because his voice is now weak and shaky.

''I will always love my family, no matter what,'' I tell him. He just sits there in silence, and somehow I feel he understands. A least the family above all part.
''But how can you live with them, know what their kind have done to our world?'' he finally says.
I don't know what to answer on this one, because I have never really thought of it from that perspective. My statement to Jeb was proven true. There is always two sides of a story. I smile at the irony.

''How can you live with knowing you and the people around you are killing innocent souls now and then?'' I snap back.
''Every story has two sides,'' he mumbles in a tiny voice to himself. I am caught in surprise. Did he just say that? Before I can respond or even react, he stands up and give me a apologetic smile.
''I'll see you around Ivy. Stay with Doc, he is safe okay? And thank you again.'' Not understanding why he is so nice to me, I just stay there, staring at him as he leaves.

I wake up by someone shaking me. It's dark and the night is young. I smell apples and a small hind of orange juice. My back hurts from the hard surface it's being laying on and my eyes are now searching for whoever is shaking me. Is it Doc? But why would he wake me up in the middle of the night? Finally, I find a shadow on the left side of me.
''Who are you?'' I ask in a tiny scared voice. First I thought it was Kyle, but this persons frame isn't as big as Kyle's would have been.

Saying nothing, the person moves back, towards the light. Finally the light hits his body and his face.

The first thing I notice is the sea green eyes, so perfect. Feeling like falling into the ocean while looking at them. I stare at his athletic body and his perfect olive skin. My lungs are desperate for air and I let out a loud gasp. Is this really happening? I must be dreaming. There is no way. What is happening? What was he doing here?

''Marvel?''
