A/N: Ugh, I'm tired of drama. I'm sure if I were Stephenie Meyer I wouldn't have drama. Unfortunately, I'm not. So, welcome the drama. And I don't own the Host either. Now, I'm even more sad.
I just closed my eyes again after seeing an almost-double Silvers.
I didn't really know what was going on; I just knew I was fed up with all this confusion, all these mysteries. And just like Silvers' said; I had to have my answers. I really, really did. She said she knew how she had gotten inside my head and now, she was going to tell me.
But if she didn't tell me, I could always just read her mind. Yeah, let's go with that.
Boy, was she a resister. She must really want to keep it a secret because she was really putting a fight. I didn't care; I won anyway. I would see the answers myself.
I made a gagging sound as the visions commence hit me again, but this time I controlled myself.
I was lying on something stable. How did I know that I was on a stable surface? I wasn't supposed to know anything in death. I most certainly should not feel pain all over me and I most certainly should not be able to see anything. Period.
And yet I did. I saw a light green room with bright white lights--a hospital room. There were many humans in the room, arguing with one another. The last time I saw humans, they were my enemies and they had…killed me.
My fingers gripped the edges of the cot I was lying on. But I stayed still, so I could hear their argument.
"It would be such a waste…" said a young man with black hair and glasses. He looked Chinese.
"I mean, she is the last one…" said an older man with thinning hair.
"No, it's cruel! It's unjust!" shouted a woman with long pretty black hair. She seemed to be frightened of them, but I couldn't see her face because she was standing with her back to me. And yet, how her arms were outstretched, blocking the others from my view, it seemed as though she was protecting me.
Now, why would I come to such a silly conclusion?
"We must know the answers…" said another female with light brown hair, as she tried to approach me.
The woman with red hair screamed, "Back off! This would be torture! Can't we help her anyway!?" Miss. Red Hair seemed to be alone on this.
The brown-haired woman smiled sightly, "I suppose we can. Why don't we simply extract the information we need and then…"
"Then kill her!?" screamed Miss. Red Hair ferociously. "Now, why in the hell would I let you do that!?" she roared.
Miss. Brown Hair's eyebrows crumpled infinitesimally. "We must get what we need! There is no other option!" she hissed at Miss. Red Hair.
"Hang on," interrupted the Chinese-Glasses man. "What if we erase her memory and send her to a fragile planet? That way, this soul will not be wasted."
"But then, all this souls' precious memories will be gone!" shouted Miss. Brown Hair as she put a horrified expression.
That made her receive a glare from Miss. Red Hair. "I mean, the ones before the Valkyrian incident," she said as she waved her hands in surrender.
Miss. Red Hair sighed deeply. "Fine.. Just don't hurt the soul. She's seen many lives; she is vital." And with that, she stepped to the side.
She leaned against the wall and folded her arms as she met my spaced look. Her eyes softened as she looked only at me. "Send her to the new planet--the one with the See Weeds. She will find peace there. Rename her, as well. We can't let her remember anything. She will return to being the same person; it will be as if she never lived on the Fire Planet."
For some reason, I wasn't able to voice anything; those seekers must've drugged me. My eyes could move, but that was it. I turned towards the humanoid seekers with their monstrous glances. "Now, my dear," said the female seeker with the light brown hair.
She walked up to me and placed her hand on my cheek; I just looked at the hand in horror. "We're going to be doing a few experiments, but not to worry, it won't hurt a bit," she said with a bright smile.
What a lie. I squeezed my eyes tight, as I trembled in fear. Oh, Rivers…Where are you?
And then everything, everything, faded to black.
I slowly opened my saddened eyes. So then, you had turned too human…, and they had you erased.
At least they didn't kill me, Silver Flames thought desolately. I mean, I can never be with Rivers again, but at least I can see him. He won't ever see me, though… I was becoming too human; I guess this is my punishment
I was absolutely horrified.
"No…NO!" I shouted both to Silvers and to everyone. Rivers woke up in alarm; I hadn't realized he had gone to sleep. He glanced at me frantically and called out my name. The nurse that looked like Silver Flames rushed to me.
My face fell into my hands. I gripped my face tightly. NO! Don't you ever believe that! I will get you out; you hear me!? I WILL GET YOU OUT!!
But how Wanda? We're literally the same soul; we've just seen different times. While I slept in my hibernating state, you slowly became different from me. You went to Earth and became human; I simply slept, and started forgetting my humanoid past. But technically, we're the same person--the same soul! How do can you split a soul? Silver Flames thought hopelessly.
I DON'T CARE! Melanie suffered while she was my prisoner. I will not have you suffer for such a stupid reason! I don't care what I do; I will set you free!
I could feel Rivers shaking me, now. "WANDA!" he shouted over and over.
And that's when a brilliant idea came to me.
I opened my eyes and faced Rivers and Miss. Nurse. I looked around frantically, searching for what I needed--a cabinet and an exit. Good.
"I'm sorry," I whispered as I took one hand and whacked the back of Rivers' neck, causing him to lose consciousness. I did the same to Miss. Nurse, with the same result.
Now, I had to put my speedy skills to some use. I combed through Rivers' pockets and found his car keys. I pushed the "find" button to the control of the car.
Then I flung myself to the cabinets and found a black backpack. I quickly filled it with little white aerosol cans that read "ASLEEP." I also got other cans and pumps that read "CLEAN" and "NO PAIN." I pulled on the backpack and ran over to the unconscious Rivers and Nurse.
I put my muscles to the test as I wrapped Rivers' arm around my shoulder and Miss. Nurse's arm around my other shoulder. Ugh, I was starting to feel the pressure and I hadn't even moved yet. No time to waste.
I took step after step and made it to the emergency exit, while half-dragging Miss. Nurse and Rivers. I kicked the door open.
Of course, this made the alarm sound.
It was night and I was in the parking lot. I tapped my foot nervously, and I was soon awarded when I saw a blue Acura speeding along the parking lot. It swerved and parked in front of me, with the driver's door open. Well, would you fancy that?
No time to fancy! I threw Rivers and Miss. Nurse into the back as I got into the driver's seat. I put the keys in the slot and said to the Acura, "Head southwest--towards Tucson, Arizona. Halt the car in an hour. Hurry!"
"Yes, Ma'am," replied a robotic kinda-female voice. The car tires screeched and off we went into the night.
I pulled the backpack off and took out one of the aerosol cans; I placed it next to me. I turned to look at Rivers and Miss. Nurse. I wasn't really worried about Rivers waking up; he's not like other souls. And so I hid him in the back.
It was the nurse that I was worried about. Would she kill herself before we even get there? That was why I had the can of Asleep ready. I also had her right next to me in the car. But Melanie had shown me that trick and she had told me it would knock you out for about an hour and a half. Now, all I could do was wait.
I crossed my arms and leaned in my seat. It was at that point that Silvers finally got over the shock of what I had just done and started talking again.
Wanda? she whispered. What did you just do!? What're you thinking!? she shrieked more loudly.
I told you I'd get you out no matter what, didn't I? I said abstractedly as I watched the stars through the windshield.
Get me out!? Silvers shrieked. But how can you take me out yourself!? Someone would have to do it and we don't trust people!
We don't trust souls, I corrected, as I cradled my stomach. My belly was really bulging now; Little Ian would be born any day soon...
What do you mean? Souls are the people; there's no one who can help us, Silvers said confused.
Well, there is someone. He's a friend of mine and we're gonna pay him a visit. His name is Eustace…but we like to call him Doc…
A/N: Oooh, what's gonna happen next!? I don't know, but I'll make sure to ask the author. Wait a second, aren't I the author??? Oh, If I haven't been uploading lately, it's 'cause I feel like I don't have that much readers and also, mainly, boy troubles. I go NO farther past that.
Anyway, I really like Rivers' Acura. It has a lot of fancy occupations like finding Rivers (actually it's the keys) when he pushes the "find" button. And since Rivers' is a Seeker, his car also has this "search" button, and if he says the name of a soul after pushing the "search" button, then the car will find that certain soul. Cool, huh?
R & R people or else I'll drop the story entirely!!! Just kidding; I'll still continue it, but it'll be all crappy if I don't get any reviews!
