I don't own the Host or any characters (except for the ones I made up) they belong to Stephanie Meyer.

Melanie POV

We got two bodies and Wanda's crying again. Ian's comforting her; they're so good together I can't wait till he breaks the news to her. Jared and I were engaged just a while ago and it was one of my 10 moments in my whole life. We had to leave know and go back to the caves. Jared and Ian hauled the bodies in the back of the car. One female and the other male, they are regular souls found on the street. We had given them enough Wake to last two hours and in that time we would be in the caves. I sat on a rock next to our car and felt Jared's heavy hands on my back and I leaned against him. The contours of his chest and sweet smell that came from him made me turn and kiss him. He kissed me back and wrapped his arms around my waist, and mine wrapped around his neck. Our tongues twisted and my fingers began to play with his hair. Longing filled my stomach and my mouth became rougher, while his hands started to pull up my shirt a little.

"Uh, Jared , it's time to go." Lily interrupted nervously, and our mouths broke apart.

"Yeah, Jared there's enough time at night," Kyle joked and Ian and him began to laugh.

"Shut up!" Jared said between his teeth and punched Kyle in the shoulder.

"Ow!" Kyle huffed and rubbed his shoulder and got into the car. I got up and my knees cracked, Jared put his arm around me and we went into the other car. I put my hand on Wanda's and she gave me a teary smile and so did Ian. I grinned back.

Anna POV

I've got a plan a wonderful, perfect plan. We would get lost in a different part of Arizona, so the Seekers wouldn't look for us. Or before I could tell the Seeker head that looking for humans is too dangerous and that I quit, then I could live in Arizona as a Painter. They wouldn't know but if I did that how could I save the humans. I'll go with my first plan drive somewhere nobody knows about, crash the car, and then either I die or survive. I would first have to tell the Seekers that there are no humans living there. I'll first call the Seekers to tell them where we are.

"Can we stop for food?" Singing Trees asked and yawned he had just woken up. He was always hungry.

"Sure," I said trying to hide the annoyance in my voice. "What are you hungry for?"

"Well, I do like Subway, but whatever's on the way," He pointed to a Burger King and I parked the car.

We ordered our food and it took me a while to build up the courage to ask. Singing Trees took a large bite out of his burger and chewed slowly.

"I'm gonna go to the bathroom," I said and he nodded while chewing. I went inside the women's bathroom and went inside a stall. I took the cell phone out of my pocket and called the first contact: Rain Drops Falling. The phone rang twice before anyone answered.

"This is Head Seeker, Rain Drops Falling, how may I help you?" He said in a professional, voice.

"This is Flower," I said and made my voice strong and steady.

"Ah, Flower," He said my name like I was a queen. He respected me.

"Yeah, see the humans aren't there." I lied convincingly. "I mean not at all. No sign of them they were never there."

"Are you sure?" His voice changed back to a professional businesslike one.

"100%." I replied. "The Seeker and soul Wanderer were just coincidences. If humans lived there how would they eat?"

"They steal from soul's houses." Rain Drops answered.

"Yes I know, see, humans haven't been raiding in the area actually no signs of humans are there."

"They might be raiding somewhere else," He replied. "They may be traveling to different places in the US."

"How they have to walk all that way?" I asked and then answered my own question. "No, they can't and even if they did how would they get enough food for everyone in their colony,"

"I see," He admitted. "That explains everything, but when I met the Seeker who disappeared she seemed intent on finding those humans. She was so sure the humans were there."

"Maybe she made a mistake," I replied. "It has to be because everything is pointing away from humans,"

"Your right," He sighed deeply. "I think the Seeker was just crazy about finding the soul, Wanderer and got carried away."

"So I guess being a Seeker just isn't my thing," I pretended to sound upset.

"You can't quit," Rain Drops sound shocked. "You're brave and perfect for the group, Flower."

"Thanks but I think I'd be better as an Artist," I was actually good at drawing. "My –uh- host is a good at drawing,"

"C'mon Flower," Rain Drops pleaded. "Just try once more."

"My Comforter agrees with me to," I lied, I am a good liar. "She thinks it's safer since my host had bad memories of Seekers,"

"As you wish, will Singing Trees be joining you or will he come back?" He asked I didn't know what to say if Singing Trees went back he might tell them how I wanted to go and we never got there.

"We haven't discussed it yet," I spoke the truth, and my voice was scared. Not for me but for the humans if my plan didn't work right.

"Call me later, then," He said and I could hear him talking to the other souls. "after you have spoken to Seeker Singing Trees."

"Bye," I replied and shut the phone.

Your such a liar, Flower accused and I shoved her into the back of my brain.

Singing Trees POV

"I don't think there are any humans here," Flower whispered, we had been around the area of where the two souls had disappeared. There was no light except for the headlights that streamed through the desert, no sign of life. There had to be, though why else had the Seeker been so keen on looking here?

"You're going to give up?" I asked incredulously. What had happened to the courageous, motivated soul?

"There's nothing here to give up," Her voice was determined and strong like always.

"It's dark we'll come back in the morning, so we can see around us," I pleaded her to agree with me. All Seekers were treated the same, but I wanted to be known for doing something. I could be on the News on TV giving a speech or perhaps a headline in the Newspaper, Seeker Singing Trees finds colony of wild humans. Shame on you, I thought ashamed I was been to full of myself.

"Fine, but I assure you there are no humans here," Her voice trembled a little. Was she scared?

"Flower, are you scared?" I asked softly, I was too but I had gone on a mission like this before.

"No, I am not scared," She snapped back angrily, I cringed from her hostile behavior. Her gray-blue eyes were narrowed and her eyebrows arched. I had offended her greatly.

"I'm sorry," I whispered soothingly, Rain Drops had snapped at me once, he couldn't help it his host was like that. "I have offended you."

"Yes, you have," She agreed and then her voice changed, it became softer. "I'm sorry too; I shouldn't have snapped at you like that, my host was like that,"

"Your forgiven," I patted her shoulder and she flinched away from me. Why did she always do that? Why wasn't she comfortable around me?

My host had never felt love before and it was confusing to me, also. Whenever I touched her my stomach lurched and shocks went through my body. I loved her, but she didn't love me back.

You could love you, The voice that had been in my head ever since I had been put in this body. This voice had never faded like it was supposed to it but it stayed in my head, annoying and angry. I didn't tell anyone about him, the shame was too great. He was strong, but not strong enough I've been in every planet they had found. We had a wall between us a wall that kept us apart; he couldn't get through even how much he wanted to. Not even that stupid bitch you're in love with, He mocked me. Once she finds how weak you are, nobody will treat like a hero.

Jamie POV

I have detention; it wasn't the detention I had in grade school or watched on TV shows. I didn't sit in a desk for 45 minutes and do my homework, I cleaned. First, I had to clean the chalk board, wash the dishes and do all Sharon's chores with all mine. It wasn't fair that Sharon was so mean to me just because I love Wanda and Sunny. Maybe she's jealous because she thinks that I love Wanda more than her. Maybe I do, Sharon's hard to like she's like how Jared used to be after Mel left. Hard, bitter and mean how could Doc stand her they were two opposites. Jeb was sympathic as he watched be wash the dishes.

"C'mon Jeb, tell Sharon that's this too harsh," I begged him, making my eyes as wide as I could that always got to Wanda.

"Sorry kid, wish I could but she's the teacher," He shrugged his shoulders.

"Jeb, please," I pleaded with him and put my hands together splashing soapy water on Lucina. She glared at me and I muttered an apology.

"Listen Jamie, you ask Sharon to ease up," Jeb said apologetically and patted me on the back.

"Uncle Jeb, it's your house, your rules, so please tell her." Lucina would get mad if I bribed Freedom and Isaiah to do it for me.

"You got that right, Kid," Jeb agreed ran his hand through his bushy beard. "But ya gotta talk to Sharon."

"She'll kill me, though" I complained. C'mon Jeb. Please.

"You're not the only one she'll kill," Jeb chuckled and fixed his bandana so it wouldn't go in front of his eyes and left.

Wanda POV

We're back. Jared and Ian are taking the bodies to the caves. Mel and I are sitting on a rock while Kyle is telling Lily and Sunny cheesy jokes.

"Wanda, I can't tell you and even if I could I wouldn't," Melanie said firmly and crossed her arms around her chest.

"Mel," I started to complain, but I heard running footsteps. Jared and Ian rushed over to us from the opening of the cave that holds the cars.

"What's wrong why'd you bring the bodies back?" Mel asked her eyes narrowed in suspicion.

"Shh," Ian said at the same time Jared said "Everybody keep your voice down,"

We all kept silent. Something was wrong a stab of pain went in my weak fluttery heart. Ian sat next to me and put his muscled arm around my waist. Mel and Jared were whispering also holding each other.

"What's going on?" I demanded in my bell like voice.

"Seekers," Ian whispered and my heart exploded and tears filled my eyes and spilled on Ian's light shirt.

We stayed for almost half the day. Finally Jared confirmed that they left.

"We're going to have to track them down," Kyle's voice sounded the way it used to be when I was in Mel's body.

"I'm coming, too," Ian replied outraged.

"Oh, no you're not," I disagreed and Mel nodded her to Jared.

"I have, too," Ian muttered.

Flower POV

I finally convinced Singing Trees that there are no humans and he agreed with me. He first had to look around the whole space and then we got back in the car. We had already told the other Seekers who were on there way back to He was driving again, he was a soul so keeping his face from showing any emotion was hard. He looked upset and tired.

"Is there something wrong?" I asked him making my voice soothing, maybe that's the only way I could get it out of him.

"There's something that I have to tell you," He admitted his voice was frightened and embarrassed. I wonder why.

"Okay, tell me," I took a deep breath, please not about the humans.

"It's kind of strange," His tan cheeks got darker. He was blushing. What's wrong with him?

Anna, I don't think he's gonna talk about the humans, Flower was unsure.

What do you think he's going to say, I said self-consciously, was my zipper down, did my period just start. Oh, crap.

I don't know, She spoke quietly. He's waiting for you to speak.

Oh.

"Go ahead," I smiled widely and he blushed even more.

"I'm sorta, kinda in love with you," He smiled shyly and choked on his words. He waited till I was over the shock and his smile was slowly fading.

Anna, this is perfect, Flower replied she was happy.

There is no time for romance, I hissed back.

No, if he loves you he can stay with you and then he won't go back. Then the humans can be saved. Flower was practically screaming in my head.

Flower I never thought I'd say this but good idea. I was hissing in excitement this time. It's perfect but it also sucks. I don't want to spend the rest of my life with him, he's annoying.

You don't have to; Flower comforted me, but then paused. Well, at least I think so maybe.

You think so, I said flatly.

At least the humans will be saved, she noted.

Wait, Flower did you just help me? I asked in disbelief.

No, She lied horribly.

I think you just did, I teased her

Did not, She disagreed but her voice was playful.

Did so,

"Uh, Flower?" Singing Trees asked he was frowning. He thought he was being rejected. "It's okay you don't have to."

"No, it's okay. I love you, too," Saying those words made me feel like knifes were driving down my throat.

Singing Trees grinned and leaned forward. He's gonna kiss me, I realized. Then all of a sudden the car wheels squealed and a horrible sound of metal against rock ripped through my ears. I lurched forward, the airbag hit me in the chest and fell backwards my face went through the side window. Red dots clouded my vision. I screamed.
