A/N: Hey people! If I've been slow at updating this chapter, it's 'cause this is the FINAL CHAPTER!! Can't believe I've written this much!! It's been a freakin' long journey, so i worked hard on this last chapter. I'll save the big ramble for later! As for now, please enjoy this final chapter!!

Disclaimer: I'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows I'm not Stephenie Meyer and if I seriously owned The Host then I would be like, "Look at me! Look at me! I OWN THE HOST!!!" But since I'm not saying that, I think that means I don't own the Host. But I DO own this freakin story!! Yay! =P

Silver Flames' POV

I ran through the Resistance with my hair swinging behind me. I looked at those purple walls with a sense of…longing. This place…was from Wanda's memories. She was so…, so happy here…but happiness was never meant for me.

My life has been tragic. It always has been and it always will be.

All those memories…They were making me slow down. I wanted to stay. I wanted to be happy. I didn't want to run away anymore.

"SILVERS!!" I heard my future self shout. Wanda.

My eyes widened, but my feet continued to push myself further. Damn it! What does she want!?

I sealed my eyes shut as the tears started to fall. Why!? If she gets to be happy, then why can't I!?

I opened my eyes; the storage room was nearing…

"Why can't I?" I whispered, hopelessly.

I wiped my tears and stiffened my face before entering the bright room. I stepped in quietly and at first, I wasn't noticed.

But someone with black eyes, black hair, fair skin, and hawk vision turned, as she spotted me. "SILVERS!!" she shouted, as she ran towards me and tackled me to the ground with a ferocious look on her face. She pulled out a pistol and pressed it against my temple. "FREEZE!!"

Huh. The last time I had seen Alarms Aloud, she had not been so…alarm. Or aloud, for that matter.

I kept my face cold as I responded, "Get off me, you bitch."

She looked taken aback. But then a sneer slowly stretched across her face. "Who's the one with the gun, old friend?"

"Alarms, get off her."

At that sound, she instantly jumped off me. But she had her gun still aimed at me.

"Lower your weapon." Alarms did as she was told.

I slowly sat up. As soon as I saw him, I instantly froze. He looked more human, but I would remember those indigo eyes anywhere.

Rivers Soothing.

He had navy blue hair and he was wearing a white shirt with a loose black tie. He looked...exhausted. More importanly, his eyes looked so…cold.

"Hmm, that body suits you. Even for a traitor!" he said with fake amusement. His footsteps echoed in the quiet room, as he walked towards me.

He stopped before me and stared me down with those cold, indigo eyes. "So did you enjoy life without me? Last I remember, you were sick of me and sent me away. Just because you couldn't tell me off…" he said with a fake smile and narrowed eyes.

His words didn't make any sense to me; I was too fascinated by his voice.

"Well, say something." he said as he crossed his arms and looked away.

I simply stared at him, like a fool.

He turned back to me and his expression was furious, "GET UP!!"

The anger of his voice broke me out of my daydreams. I instantly got up and put on a stiff face. "What do you want!?"

He gripped my hair angrily and pulled me closer. I let out a tiny yelp.

"All I want to know is why," he hissed angrily in my ear.

"Why what!?" I shouted, as my eyes glanced around frantically. There was no other seekers in the room. Just him and Alarms Aloud.

"Why did you do that? Back on the Fire Planet. You called to me with a happy expression…and then you knocked me out. I thought I had died…but then I woke up on the Planet of the Bats. Why would you do that to me…? Why, Silvers?" he whispered, his anger slowly fading into sadness.

I was utterly confused. What was he talking about!? He was the one who attacked me! Lucky for me, I had found out that it was simply a seeker in his body…

"Ah! Rivers! You don't know anything, do you!? Of course not, you were in your cyrotank!" I said, as I tried to meet his eyes, but he continued to grip my hair; I was forced to look to the side.

"What the hell are you talking about?" he hissed.

"That was a seeker who must have looked like me! The same thing happened to me!" I shouted, as he loosened his grip on my hair. I took a step backwards to find a confused look on his face.

"That…wasn't you?" he said differently.

"No! You see, the seekers had become impatient and they tested us---the Valkyrians! And they found out! Then they started eliminating us---every one of us." I babbled anxiously, but as my memories of that day took place…I quieted down.

I looked at the ground, refusing to look at his face, as I spoke. "I was the last one left…and I had your cyrotank with me… I put you on a shuttle…and then they killed me," I whispered, as a single tear dropped.

I felt someone place a hand underneath my chin and pulled my face upward. Rivers was staring at me with a look full of guilt and…sadness? "They had told me that had happened…I didn't know you were the last survivor…You've been through a lot, haven't you, Silvers?" he said with a tiny smile.

More tears fell down my face, as I smiled sadly. "You have no idea," I whispered.

His beautiful eyes were drowning in anguish, as I quietly cried.

Suddenly, he threw his arms around me and held me tightly. "I'm sorry, Silvers…I'm so sorry…" he whispered in my hair.

"What're you apologizing for?" I whispered as I hiccupped. "You weren't the one who had killed me…"

"But I wasn't there!" he shouted, as he pulled back to face me.

I smiled brightly as I said the words, "But you're here, now. Right?"

He smiled, equally as bright, as he replied, "Right."

Memories of the Resistance and Wanda's life flashed through my mind rapidly.

The smile faded off my face. I refused to look at him, as I said the words that would push him away from me. "But it doesn't matter. Happiness wasn't meant for me, Rivers. It never was. I can never go out with the souls, because I have become too human. They know who I am; I was the last Valkyrian that they were going to test on. But you, Rivers!" I said, as I gripped his shoulders tightly and stared at him with happiness. I stared at him with hope. It was hope for him living, not for me. "You can live! I had you hidden; they won't know your true identity! You can live freely! So please…return to the world of the souls. I'll simply…dream with you…" I said with false happiness. I was raging a battle with my tear ducts…and I was going to lose.

I opened my eyes to a surprise. Rivers' looked utterly angry. He placed his hands on my shoulders, as he roughly said, "Now, you look here, Silvers. There is no way in hell that I am going back there!! God, why would you even think that I would!?"

My jaw dropped. "But you have to--"

"But nothing!" he shouted. "I am not going to go back there and that's final!"

"But where can we go!?" I shouted, as tears flowed like a waterfall. I closed my eyes and turned away from him. "If we don't go back there, then there's nowhere! I can't go up there because I'm human and wanted; you can't stay down here because you're a seeker and hated! In a situation like that, how can we stay together!!??" I screamed at the top of my lungs.

"Excuse me!" someone's familiar voice shouted. "I have a suggestion!"

I turned around to see someone's hand waving around in the air, like an idiot. Wanda's bright curls gave her away, as did her shining smile. "Silversss? Riversss? I think someone wants a word with you!" she shouted, as if they were the words to a song.

For some reason, her song sounded like…a threat?

I turned around to face Rivers. He had the most surprised dumbfounded look on his face right now. "WANDA!!" he shouted, as he stomped over to her, with his finger pointed at her accusingly. "Why the hell did you leave me in a bed in breakfast!?"

"Maybe because you were too fat?" she said with a thoughtful look.

"WHAT!?" Rivers shouted, as he continued to get angry.

"I couldn't drag you, too! Geez, Silvers' was already fat enough! I didn't want to drag another fat person!" Wanda said, jokingly.

"NOOO! We're not fat; you're just weak!!" Rivers shouted, with an overly-victorious look on his face.

"Duh; you think?" Wanda said, mockingly, as she started to run away.

Rivers quickly ran back to me. He clomped his big hand on mine, as he shouted, "COME ON!! Are you gonna stand there forever!? We have to chase that little idiot before she runs away!!"

He continued to blabber on, but I wasn't even paying attention. I glanced at our hands, as he dragged me along. This reminded me a lot of the old days; whenever he held my hand, he would blabber angrily.

But all of those memories were in the past. I should live for the present. And if I was dealt with the hand "happiness"…well, I shouldn't be angry, now should I?

Wanda's POV

Everyone was standing in the game room, with our arms crossed and we were all glaring at Rivers Soothing and Silver Flames, who were currently sitting on the ground with their heads bowed down, looking around sheepishly.

And out of all of us, Jeb was the most angry.

"YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR WHAT YOU DID, YOU HEAR!?" he shouted, as he stomped off.

"Sooooo. I guess that solves your problem, doesn't it, Silvers?" I said, half-angrily and half-amused. I stared down the couple, as I pointed to the humongous hole in the roof.

"Thanks to Rivers' stupid helicopter, we don't get no game room!!" Melanie shouted, standing next to me.

"It's not like that's a big part of the Resistance…" I heard Rivers whisper.

"SHUT UP!!" Melanie shouted, as she threw a shoe at Rivers--hitting him directly in the face. Rivers gripped his face angrily, but didn't say anything, due to his poor position and everyone's glares.

"Again, I am so sorry for that!" Alarms Aloud shouted, as she bowed her head.

"No, no. It's alright, Alarms! It's not your fault for being a crappy driver!" Sunny said, as she bowed her head towards her. Looks like those two might be good friends…

"Yeah, it's Rivers' fault for placing her as the pilot!" Melanie shouted. "So, until then, Rivers and Silvers must reconstruct that wall! We will award you a place in the Resistance, but don't think so high of yourselves!! We can always kick you out!!" she shouted, as she stomped off. Lots of people stomped off along with her, but most people didn't really care.

"Where is everyone stomping off to?" I heard Silvers whisper.

"We are all 'stomping off to' go help Jared unpack, since apparently we don't need to evacuate anymore!" I shouted, as I glanced at Rivers' accusingly.

Lily stepped forward with a bright smile on her face, as she patted Rivers' head. "You shouldn't take them so seriously, okay? We wouldn't actually kick you out, since you know where we live, you'll be staying here forever and ever!"

"Ugh, would you stop saying that!?" that new guy shouted, as he started to walk away. Lily giggled.

"Who is that guy, Lily?" I asked, her with vast curiosity. I was mostly curious as to why Lily was so happy. She faintly blushed, as she stared at the tall man with the green eyes and the black hair. "His name is Shadows Hiding. He was the soul who was inside of Ian."

I raised one eyebrow, as I stared after the man. "Oh, really?" I whispered, just as I felt someone place a hand tightly on my head.

"No looking at other guys, Wanda!" I heard Ian joke around, as he tightened my head.

"Owie, Owie, Owie!" I shouted, as I jumped around, trying to pry his hand off my head. I managed to seize his hand off my head, but he instantly placed his elbow on my head. "Hey!"

"Hey, back at ya! Instead of looking at the 'hot guys,' isn't there something more important you should be doing concerning a certain daughter and a certain husband of yours?" Ian said to me, in an all-knowing voice.

"Hmm? Oh, yeah! I'll be in there in a bit, okay?" I said, as Ian finally let go of my head.

"Just don't take too long, sweetie," he whispered, as he lightly kissed me. He left me wanting more, but Ian was so mean! He ran away from him. Grr, I'll catch him…

Someone's loud sigh broke me out of my evil plans of capturing Ian. I turned around to face Lily's saddened expression. "Something wrong, Lily?"

"I wish I had someone I could be all lovey-dovey with! You're soo lucky, Wanda!" she said, with her shoulders slumped.

"I know I am," I whispered to myself. "But hey, isn't that guy you were staring at still available?"

Lily's face suddenly flushed tomato red, as she stuttered, "I-I have no idea what you're talking about!" Lily ran off, refusing for me to embarrass her further. Someone's bickering made me quickly turn around.

"God, do I seriously have to repair the whole ceiling!?" Silvers shouted, at the top of her lungs. I placed my hand on her shoulder, as I said, "Don't worry; Rivers will be with you! Just don't make out, when we turn our backs!" I said as I pointed an accusing finger at her.

Both of them flushed, as I ran away giggling.

I looked around the Resistance left and right. Sunny and Kyle's relationship seemed to bloom, as I was gone. They were talking quietly to each other, and something Kyle said had made Sunny smile hugely, as she threw her arms around him.

I passed the storage room to find Jeb, Mel, and Jared putting all the stuff in order again. When Jeb wasn't looking, Jared would give Mel a peck on the cheek.

Aww, how cute! I thought to myself, as I continued to skip in the hallway.

I passed the hospital wing to find Doc sleeping. Sharon was pacing a pillow under his head.

Everyone seemed to be having a lovey-dovey love life, now! Where was mine!? Oh yeah, it's in my room!!

I opened the door to my room quietly. I smiled slightly at the sight before me. Ian was sleeping in our bed, and for once, he wasn't sprawled about. But he had his arms circled around little Amethyst. She was sleeping quietly, too. I guess I should join the crowd.

I layed myself down on the bed and closed my eyes. Ian's quiet voice woke me up, though. "Hey," he whispered.

I opened my eyes and smiled slightly. "Hey, you," I whispered.

"So, I have a question. You mind answering it?' he whispered.

I shook my head, "I don't mind."

"How were you able to stand it? Having Melanie in your mind, and then having Silvers? Doc filled me in on the story," he added, when he saw my confused look.

"How was I able to stand it?" I repeated, as I turned around to look at the window on the ceiling--the one with the stars. "I guess it was because we were so similar…it was like I was talking to myself…"

He chuckled. "Well, it wasn't like that for me at all. Shadows' detested me."

"Are you sure about that?" I said, as I propped myself on my elbow to face him. "If you ask him now, I'm absolutely positive that he'll reject such an idea."

"Hmmm…You know, Doc told me something else…" he said, unsure if he should continue.

"Go on," I encouraged.

He smiled infinitesimally. "He said that when he saw the two of you--when he was splitting you and Silvers apart---that your soul…was the color of a human heart..."

"Really…?" I whispered abstractedly, as I lie back down.

"I wonder if that happens to all souls…If they stay in their human hosts for a long time…, they would become their host. I wonder…" Ian trailed off. I anxiously turned to him, but I calmed down when I realized he had just fallen asleep.

I turned to face the little window again. I wonder, too. What becomes of the souls, once they've stayed too long? Do they completely change? No one has bothered to check, because this has probably never happened before. Or is it the other way around? Do resistant humans become more like the souls? The souls aren't alive…maybe they wish to be alive…

Maybe, all of us souls have secretly become our hosts. But we just don't like to show it.

"I wonder…" I whispered, as my eyes started to slowly close.

That last question…I will answer it some other day……

But for now...All I want is to sleep. And hope for the best...

Because even after the whole melodrama that had happened to me...; hope never failed me.

Hope kept me allive...

THE END

A/N: Yippie!! I finished a story!! (Victory Dance!!)

Listening to: Wait for me by Theory of a Deadman. I listened to this song, while writing this! Hope you love it, too!

Let's see, this is gonna be my last author's note, right?? So, I guess I should write everything here. I was reading the Host one day, and when it got to the part where Wanda was talking about how she never went to the Fire Planet and that obnoxious kid in her class was all like, "But there has to be a reason why you skipped that planet, right!?" and when he said that, my mind began to run. I began thinking "What if Wanda did go to the Fire Planet, but she just didn't remember anything?? What if her memory was erased? What if she became two separate identities because a part of her was trapped in the horrible past (My brain actually refused to tell me that part. I knew something horrible had happened to her, but I couldn't think it up, until that part "actually" happened in my story)?" And then I grabbed a pencil and paper and I started to write.

This whole story was actually going to be much shorter, but I wanted to explain everything, so it took up much more space. I do hope everyone enjoyed it, though.

Until next time, people! Twi-Hoster Girl is out.

Another A/N: Oh yeah, hang on! People, don't exit out yet! I'm thinking of writing a sequel. It's because there was never really a "bad guy" in this story. Or there was and I completely forgot about him/her. Either way, I wanted to write another story! But I'm not sure if I'll actually write it…I'm not going to give too much away, just in case people don't start COPYING me! But there's gonna be bad guys and more bad things are going to happen. Like, WAY bad. The kind of bad things when you go screaming at the computer/book shouting "WHY!? HOW COULD YOU WRITE THAT!?" but you still read because you want to see how it ends? Yeah, that kind of bad. It's 'cause I heard this song, and one of the lines was "And I'll give my soul to save your life!" And then I ran to the nearest notebook. Again, if you want me to write it, I shall!

One last thing. R & R, people. Yeah, this is the last chapter, but your thoughts are STILL valued! Whenever I have a bad day and when I check my e-mail and when I see one of your reviews, I get a big smile on my face and I forget about the other stuff. Really, guys. Thank you for everything.

Okay, NOW until next time, people! Twi-Hoster Girl is out.

=D
