Chapter 10: Reunion
AN: Last chapter of the story. This was my favorite chapter to write.
Melissa's POV
"How come Natalie is not waking up as fast as Lacey did?" Ian asked worriedly.
"Ian calm down, she's going fine. It took me awhile to wake up too," I replied.
"Yeah but not this long," Ian said running his through hair.
"Ian go get some sleep. I'll get yo when she awakens," I said.
"I wanna be here when she awakes," Ian said.
"Kyle take Ian to his so he can get some sleep," I said.
Kyle drags Ian away and I smile a little. That's my brothers for you. I thought. I remember waking up to Kyle's and Ian's smiling faces. It's different not having a second voice in my head. I'm going to miss Genesis.
I take a seat next to Natalie's cot and lay my head on the cot and my eyes start getting heavy and I try to fight the sleep but it doesn't work.
Natalie's POV
I awoke to silence in my head. I feel the rhythm of my breath I could feel it go up and down in a perpetual beat. I realized I could wiggle my fingers and my toes. Then it hit me Fallon's gone. I will never hear her voice again. I wipe the tears that just came from eyes. I sit up in my cot and everyone in the hospital is asleep. I carefully get out of the cot and walk out of the hospital.
I start running and I smile that I'm in control of my body. I stop running and walk again and I find myself in front of Ian's room. I walk up the stairs to his room and see his sleeping form. I walk over to him shake him lightly.
"Ian wake up. Natalie is awake," I said smiling.
"Where?" He asks sleepily and stands up and rubs his eyes.
"Right here," I said smiling.
Ian's lip crash on top of mine and I put my hands on his neck pressing him closer to me. We pulled apart for air but kept our foreheads together.
"Please tell me this is not a dream, because if it is this a cruel dream," Ian said.
"It's not a dream, I'm really here," I said smiling.
"Good," Ian said smiling before kissing me again.
I kissed him back, our mouths moving in sync with one another.
"Ian! Natalie is miss-" Jared started but saw us.
"Never mind," Jared said and leaves the room.
Ian and I continue kissing until I pull away.
"What's wrong?" Ian asked.
"There has to be a way for Fallon to come back. I miss her too," I said leaning my head on his chest.
"I miss her too," Ian said.
"I think I have an idea and we're going to need Jared and Melanie," I said.
"Are you going to tell me?" Ian asked.
"Not right now. I'll tell you when we get to Jared and Melanie," I said.
Ian and I walk out of his room hand in hand to Doc's. When we get to Doc's, Jared, Kyle, Melissa, and Melanie were awake.
When Melissa saw me she jumped out her seat and hugged me and I hugged back. Then I hugged Kyle.
"The whole family is back," Melissa said happily.
"Not quite," I said.
"So this is Natalie Mallory," Melanie said approaching me with a smile. "I'm Melanie Stryder."
She shook my hand. "Nice to meet you," I said.
"Natalie what did you mean the whole family is not back?" Melissa asked.
"We're missing Fallon and Wanda," I said.
"But Wanda and Fallon sacrificed themselves so you and Melanie could have your bodies back," Jared said.
"But Fallon is like a sister to me and Melanie probably feels the same way about Wanda," I said.
"She's right," Melanie said.
"We need to find hosts for Wanda and Fallon," I said.
One Month Later
Still Natalie's POV
We held Fallon and Wanda in a cryotank for a full month before we actually inserted them into hosts. When Doc and I took the Souls out of the host they didn't wake up, the bodies were dying. Fallon's host has black hair, olive skin, and a toned body. I just inserted Fallon and by the looks of it I think she's waking up.
Fallon's POV
"Fallon, can you here me?" A voice asked.
I slowly open my eyes and see it was Jamie.
"Where am I? Who am I?" I asked.
"You're you," Ian said smiling.
I sit up from the bed and see Natalie.
"Hello Fallon," Natalie said smiling.
"Natalie," I said.
"You might wanna see yourself," Natalie said while holding up a mirror.
I look in the mirror and see my reflection of a girl who had olive skin and wavy black shoulder length hair.
"Who's life did I take?" I asked.
"You didn't a life, you saved one. If you weren't put in the body the host would've of died," Natalie said.
"What about Wanda? Did you the same thing?" I asked while getting off the bed.
"Hello Fallon," A voice said.
A small woman curly brown hair appeared from behind Melanie who I'm assuming is Wanda.
"Wanda," I say.
Wanda smiles and nods her head. I look at the happy faces of Jared, Jamie, Melanie, Natalie, Ian, Melissa, Doc, and Jeb.
"What are you thinking about Fallon?" Melissa asked.
"How happy I am," I say smiling while tears form in my eyes.
Rain started to hit the roof of Doc's and I look up. I look back down and see Ian and Natalie leaving hand in hand but not before shooting me another smile and I smile back.
Natalie's POV
Ian and I walk in the rain even though the sun was still out his arm around my shoulder my hand around his waist.
"I remember our first kiss was in the rain," I smiling at the memory.
"It seems so long ago," Ian replied.
Ian and I stop walking and we face each other. Ian cups my face and I put my hands on his chest.
"I've missed you more than you'll ever know," Ian said gently.
"I missed you more I couldn't even touch, hug, or kiss you." I said.
"But now you can," Ian said before kissing me.
I put one of my hands around his neck pressing us closer.
Ian hands trailed down my sides and resting on my waist. We break the kiss but our foreheads still together.
"I love you Ian," I said gently.
"I love you too Lea," Ian replied and kisses me again with even more passion.
Months Later
Natalie's POV
Jared, Melanie, and Wanda sat front and Jared was driving. While Fallon, Ian, and I sit in the back. I lay my head on Ian's shoulder and I see Melanie look Ian and I through the rear mirror. I smile at her and she smiles back. Melanie and I have become really close to each other over the past months and the same with Jared.
All of sudden I two cars come out of nowhere and blocked us off.
"Seekers!" Melanie shouted.
Jared stopped the car and all of us are panicking now.
"No one gets taken," Jared said.
A Seeker comes to the Jeep with a gun in hand. We all put our shades on except for Wanda and Fallon and the Seeker comes over to the driver side with the gun and points it at Jared's head.
"Everybody out," The Seeker ordered.
Jared tried to get his gun but the Seeker took it.
"Seeker-" Wanda started but the Seeker cut her off.
"Everybody out. Now!" He ordered again.
We all get out the Jeep and line up against a curb.
"A little bright out tonight is it?" The Seeker asked sarcastically.
The Seeker shines a flashlight in Jared's face and Jared takes shades off.
"You're human," The Seeker said and then moves on to Melanie.
Melanie takes off her shades.
"Human," He said and walks over to Ian.
Ian takes off his shades.
"Human again," He said and walks over to me.
I take my glasses off.
"Still human," He said and walks over to Wanda and Fallon.
"Not all human," He said.
"Are you two there prisoners?" The Seeker asked.
"We're not there prisoners, we're their friends," Fallon says.
"They're human," He calls to the other people and they step forward toward us.
"Humans you," He said.
An African American stands next to the Seeker.
"We thought we were the last of our kind," Melanie said.
"So did we. Until we found three other groups and four," The man said smiling.
"I thought I was the only who switched sides," The Seeker said referring to Wanda and Fallon.
"I guess you never know where you're going to find your home," Wanda said.
AN:Last chapter of the story! This has to be one of the funnest story I've think I written. I plan on writing a sequel but after complete some of my other stories. Until next time!
