10th Chapter! And I thought I wouldn't be writing more than three!

What happened while Nate and Burns were asleep?

Hope you like it! Reviews please! Thanks!


- So you are deciding now?! Sorry, I wasn't aware Jed had given that power to you! – I was angry and frustrated, I couldn't understand why Jared had done that.

- Mel, don't be like that! She was alone, in the desert, looking for us.

- Are we going to invite everyone in? I didn't know we were throwing a party! – My anger grew bigger inside me. I really didn't know how Jeb would react, probably in a positive way but something else was bothering me.

- Mel, you're being stupid! "That girl" is HUMAN! – Jared sighted, he was right, something wasn't wrong with that girl. It was with me. – Jeb would never have doubted, as he never did when he took Jamie and me in. As everyone else in the caves! – He breathed slowly trying to calm himself and me – Plus, Doc made her sleep and she is blindfolded!

We were almost at the caves when we drove past someone, that someone was "that girl". She started running after us and our only chance, being a soul, was to catch her and send her to some planet far away. Only, when we stopped and got to her she held a knife towards us and a very scared expression, as well as angry. We thought she was a lost seeker, like Lacey, obsessed with us. My mind played again the whole scene, Doc in the car with Nate and Burns sleeping, Ian right after me and Wanda behind him, Jared was to my right and she was standing in front of me. She held her knife to her neck, then is when we realized she was as human as we were. When she realized it too she told us her story and Jared decided to bring her in. Doc had run out of Sleep so we could just cover her eyes. The whole situation made me angry, when we found Nate and Burns we had to ask Jeb but not anymore, not with Valeria. Deep down I understood, she was human while Nate was with Burns which was a soul. Maybe I was upset because of that, I used to have Wanda inside me and I was always misunderstood.

The entrance of the cave brought me back to the Jeep, where I squished sitting on Jared's lap. We got inside and I helped Ian and Doc to carry Valeria, Nate and Burns out of the car. Doc sprayed Awake on their mouths. Burns was the last one who opened his eyes, he looked sick. We were loud, which made everyone come to greet us, I was rapidly hugged by Jamie.

- You all ok? Jared? Wanda? – I was suddenly relieved with his love, I felt then that I had been worrying the whole time. Maybe that was my anger about, not anger but worry. Then Jaime spotted them, smiled and run towards Wanda, hugging her just as much as me.

- Wow… you are a lot – Nate was very surprised, at that moment I realized that in order to protect the cave we never told him anything of the cave, not even how many we were.

- Ok guys! I am really excited to, but let's go to the Plaza, please, this is getting too crowded – Jared talked over the noise in the tunnel.

We all did as he said but the Plaza was suddenly a cold place, there was no activity there, they might have already moved everything to the Game room. However, little by little more members of my family arrived. They all greeted Nate and Valeria normally and with some curiosity when doing so with Burns. Valeria didn't know that we had souls as friends but she didn't seem very surprise when she saw Wanda or Burns. I didn't expect her reaction, it was the first thing I liked from her. She was already surrounded by all men, except for Ian, he was worryingly talking with Wanda, was there something wrong?

Jeb came into the Plaza when there was still some people missing.

- Well, well, hello friends! – He had his gun with him, it gave a shiver, that was Wanda's influence over my body – My name is Jeb and this place is mine – He shook the hands of the three strangers and when doing so with Valeria, he looked at me – Well kid, you're a bigger surprise, we didn't expect you – He smiled but in his eyes you could see a great curiosity. Valeria smiled back but remained silent – We are going to celebrate the new members of the family. The ones on the raid go wash yourselves! – We all laugh with Jeb – The ones free go grab the food from the car. We're preparing a welcome party – He was almost leaving the room when he turned around – And! Someone, show the strangers the place, they might want a bath, too! – He laugh louder than before, harder than usual, it didn't seem natural, then he left. It was very weird that he didn't want to show his place but so it was that Lucina, Sharon and the children weren't there, they were the only ones missing.

That's when I put my hand on my pocket and remembered the gift Wanda gave me. I wanted to share it with Jared so badly.
