Another confusing chapter...Beware... :P

**Snow Ball Effect**

Chapter 11-Wanda pov

My mind seemed fuzzy, everything did. My limbs wouldn't move, my breathing was heavy, my throat was burning and my body throbbed.

I could tell I was on a cot. I could feel someone staring at me; they felt very close as their hot breath scorched my skin.

"My Wanderer, wake up." The first thought that hit my mind was Ian was here but that thought soon left as painful memories filled me.

Who was this person? Why would he say my Wanda?

"Wanderer" His rough voice said again. My stomach tightened.

Where was I?

I need to get home?

Is Ian okay?

Who is this person!

"Sir she is awake." I heard a girl whisper. "Her heartbeat is beating too quickly for her to be asleep." She seemed to be on the other side of me, her voice was laced with fear as she spoke uncertainly.

"Okay, leave Abbey!" He said. "I want to be alone with my love."

"Yes of course sir."I heard her franticly get up to her feet and quickly leave the room.

It was quiet. I didn't dare move a muscle or take a breath. I kept my eyes shut hoping he would think I was still asleep.

"Wanderer," I heard him whisper in my ear. "I know you're awake." He chuckled as he saw me stiffen. I slowly pealed my eyes open unwillingly.

I gasped. "Burns?"

"Hello my Wanderer, I missed you." My breath caught as he leaned forward. I tried to get up but my body was frozen, I couldn't move.

What did they do to me?

"Stop please." I pleaded, before he could kiss me. He looked at me, his sliver eyes staring into mine. I could see the anger in his eyes as he leaned back.

"But why my Wanderer?" He said irritated.

"I-I can't." I choked out, thinking of Ian. He glared at me, walking to other side of the cave room and turning his back to me.

Why was he acting like this?

I have to leave, something is wrong.

Burns is scaring me.

I want Ian.

My eyes roamed the room looking for an exit. This room seemed so similar to the caves, except there was a lot of sunlight coming from the outside. Greenish rocks were the walls of this room. This room seemed to be the hospital; five cots were spread around the room along with medical supplies.

"Wanderer"

"It's Wanda." I whispered.

I heard something smash on the rock floor and he turned to me with fury in his eyes. "Sweetheart your name is not Wanda." He said with clenched teeth.

"What are you talking about Burns? My name is Wanda." I said sternly.

He slowly walked up to me. "No your name is Wanderer, who told you your name was Wanda?"

I looked at him confused. "Burns...are you okay?"

He sighed and sat on the edge of my cot, I tensed. "Of course I'm okay." He laughed as he ran his hand through his red hair. "It's you I should be asking. Are you okay? You are recovering from a coma after all."

"A coma," I whispered.

"Yes." He muttered as he played with the bed sheet. "It's been three months since you've been out."

Three months!

"No it hasn't, I have only been out for a couple of hours!" My voice raised in panic. "Okay Burns I have to leave, I think there has been a misunderstanding. I need to get back to Ian-"

He started laughing cutting off my words. He turned to me. "Everyone told me this would happen." He muttered.

"What would happen?"

"That you would think your dreams were real." He said simply.

"What are you talking about Burns?"

He sighed. "Wanda answer me this...Who do you love?" He said staring me in the eyes.

"I love Ian. You know this! Wh-"

"Shhh." He put his finger to my lips. "It's going to be okay, you will soon remember who you really love."

"What are you talking about Burns!" I yelled.

"Tell me Wanda. Tell me about your life before you fell into a coma." He said angrily.

I huffed. "You know." Didn't we already tell him when we met him on the raid?

"Just tell me Wanderer, from the start."

I sighed. Maybe if I tell him than he will help me get back home.

"I was inserted into Melanie's body. When I was inserted into her body she was supposed to disappear but she didn't, she stayed in my head. She would show me memories of Jared and Jamie, begging me to go to them, so I did." I smiled to myself at the memories.

"I almost didn't make it to the caves but Jeb and the others found me before I died and brought me to the caves. When we got there everyone wanted me dead except for Jeb. "I flinched as I remembered the painful memories.

After a while I had gotten a few friends and also found myself falling in love with Ian. I realised what I was doing was wrong taking over Mel's body like that. So I went to Doc and made a deal with him. I would tell him how to extract a soul if he killed me and buried me beside Wes and Walter. I woke up to find myself in a different body; they had put me in Pet's body. Since then I have been like family in the caves doing raids and helping with whatever they let me do."

I took a deep breath. I dreaded to tell this part of the story. "Everything was going fine until we met Chris, Ryan and Sarah." I said their names with such hatred, it surprised me. "Sarah hurt Mel, Sunny and I and as punishment she was made to leave the caves but instead she was shot." I winced as I pictured her lifeless body on the ground.

I was shocked to see a smile creep onto Burn's face. His smile sent shivers down my back.

"Chris and Burns got angry and attacked me, Ian and Sharron in the hall. That is when they took me. When I woke up, I woke up here."

"That's enough." He said.

It went quiet and it seemed he was lost in thought.

Then he finally turned to me with a smirk on his face. He took his hand and raised it, expecting him to hit me I flinched away from the hand and squeezed my eyes shut. I was taken back when he put his hand gently on my hair and began stroking my blond curly locks. It felt very uncomfortable, I sat there anxious as I watched him nervously.

"Oh Wanda you have quite the imagination." He murmured as he smiled at me. "The truth is Wanda. Everything that you just said...never happened."

My heart seemed to stop and my body went numb. I couldn't get my numb lips to form a question.

"You see it all started about a year ago. You were inserted into this lovely body and I was inserted into this one. "He said pointing to himself. "We both were scientist, studying humanity. We searched the desert looking for humans, when one day we got lost. We had passed out from dehydration. When we woke we were in a cave, with humans surrounding us with horrible weapons."

He chuckled. "But we found what we were looking for; humans, so that was a good thing. After a while the humans began to trust us and we soon began to fall in love."

No.

No.

Nooo...my mind seemed to repeat.

"Now that the humans trusted us we twisted things around." He said his eyes holding an evil glint.

"Twisted things around?" I whispered in fear.

"Yep, they will do whatever we say, as long as we don't tell the seekers. They are all very obedient...though at the beginning they were not." He frowned. "A man named Nick had smashed a rock into your head and that is when you slipped into your coma."

I gasped.

He laughed. "Don't worry I killed him, nice and slowly too." He smiled at me as if he said the most cheerful thing.

MONSTER!

What is wrong with Burns! He needs help!

He continued. "You just woke up today and for some reason you seem to think that the dreams you had while unconscious actually happened. When in fact they weren't Wanderer, Ian doesn't exist along with everyone else in those imaginary caves, it was all in your mind."

"I am your true lover not this made-up boy named Ian." I felt him coming closer.

I couldn't move, I couldn't breathe. I looked at him pleading him not too.

"But Wanderer people that love each other kiss each other." He said with deep disapproval.

But I don't love you...

I took a deep breath and tried to plaster a smile on my face. "I'm just not ready yet Burns. Let me recover." I said.

He sighed. "Fine," He stood up and went to retrieve something, he came back with an awake in his hands.

"Here this will wake you up, when your limbs start to work than we can go down to the kitchen and eat." He said spraying the banana flavoured mist into my face.
