A/N: I'm so glad people reviewed the chapter. I initially had a very easy break out planned for the prison, but after reading my reviews I saw that action was what you wanted. So you see your comments affect the story so keep reviewing.

Without further ado, I don't own the Host, only the crazy thoughts bouncing in my head. (Ouch! That one hurt.)

Remember I don't actually know Spanish, so I'm sorry if there are any errors. Translation is on the bottom.

I don't own the host.

Chapter 35

We all got into the van and we drove off. All was quiet for two minutes then Mel started on me.

"I can't believe you Jamie. How could you do that? A Seeker! She's a Seeker! Have you no concept of awareness? She could have turned us all in!"

Arena looked down to the van floor and started quivering.

I stood on my knees to make my point. "But she didn't! She helped us."

"Wait a minute," Kyle interrupted. "Who are you talking about?"

"Arena," Mel pointed out. "She's a Seeker."

"What?" the bothers exclaimed together.

"And Jamie talked us into letting her out of the cave," Mel stated.

"Only she could get us in. She was familiar with the prison. She knows the other Seekers," I defended.

"Sure she knows them. Because of that I almost had another soul put in me."

"By me!"

"At that moment I didn't know who you were, Jamie. You were alone with her in the caves. She could have turned you."

"There aren't any souls down there to turn me with. And even if she did, you really think I would let myself do that? You're my sister, Mel. I'd fight just as hard as you did."

Everyone was silent.

There were quiet sobs heard and I turned to Arena. Tears streamed down her face. "I'm sorry. Lo siento," she said. She looked up. "Tuve que guardar, para hacer las cosas bien. Fue mi culpa. No se moleste con Jamie. Él estaba tratando de ayudar. No te a su vez, ninguno de ustedes. Yo no quiero que nadie se borrará. Esta es tu planeta. Sus vidas. No quiero tomar más de distancia." We all stared at her.

"Ah girlie, English," Brandt said.

She vigorously shook her head. "Mis palabras causar daños. No más." She curled herself in the corner, hugging her knees.

"Well what are we going to do now?" Aaron whispered.

"I still have a gun. Maybe we should blow her brains out," Brandt suggested.

"What!" everyone uttered in unison.

"I'm kidding," he claimed. Ian just shook his head. I didn't get the joke either. "I was just trying to lighten the mood. We just saved more humans than I've seen in a while and walked away to tell the tale. We should be celebrating."

"It's up to Uncle Jeb what to do with Arena," I heard Mel say. "We have to bring her back to the caves."

"Separation?" Doc asked.

"Maybe," Ian uttered. "Wanda's not going to be happy."

"What if her host doesn't wake up? We're going to have two bodies rotting in the hospital wing," Kyle asked.

"No one is going to be rotting," Doc stated. "We have enough nutrition to last a while and I'm doing passive range of motion exercises with Emily. I could do it on Arena's host also until we figure out how to wake them both.

They all kept whispering away. I just went to sit by Arena.

"Don't worry. I won't let them hurt you."

"¿Qué van a hacer conmigo?" she asked.

I had no clue what she said, so I just shook my head in confusion. Her face scrunched up and more tears flowed. I guess that answered her question. Her head bent down and her forehead rested on top of her knees. I put my arm around her. "It'll be okay."

She was asleep when we pulled up to our van. I was going to wake her, but Jared misted her to stay asleep. He and Aaron lifted her gently into the other van. Jared took the wheel of our van while Aaron took the wheel of our stolen vehicle. We drove off to another town to abandon the getaway van and then we all headed back to the cave.

Everyone gave questioning glances when Arena was placed in the storage cave and hands bound with rope again. I thought it was unfair to misjudge her so quickly based on her previous calling, especially when she did nothing to earn that mistrust.

Andy and Paul were placed to guard Arena. I volunteered, but Mel said my point of view was clouded. I thought everything seemed pretty clear to me. Arena staked her life and her reputation as a soul, to save a bunch of humans she didn't even know. Even Wanda hadn't done that – but she did come close.

A tribunal was arranged and everyone came to attend. Arena stood in the center of the game room between Andy and Paul.

"Y'all know why ya here," Uncle Jeb announced. "We're here to determine the fate of the said Seeker Arena." There were whispers from the crowd.

I stood up to say my piece. "It's very simple. She helped us. She freed all those humans and she even attacked another Seeker to get us out of there unharmed. It doesn't matter what she used to be. It only matters what she is now and that is a rebel – like us." A few people clapped, but the majority just mumbled to each other.

Melanie went up next. "I know what many of you are thinking, 'why is Melanie, ex-host and practically sisters with Wanda, standing here?'"

"I know that's what I'm thinking," I uttered."

"Well let me tell you, little brother. Because she's a Seeker. You heard what that Seeker Sings said about her mission. It was to find more rebel camps like ours. More, meaning she had already found some."

"She attacked him and got us out!" I yelled.

"Because she didn't finish her mission. She doesn't know our location. She still needs us to trust her."

"But she orchestrated a jail break. If she is supposed to help get more rebels, why would she let all those escape?"

"Are you sure? I didn't see where they went. We only know the five we gave a lift to got away. The others could have been caught by the Seekers coming from the alarms. No real sacrifice there in letting rebels go if you know they will be caught again quickly." Many people yelled "Yeah" in agreement.

"Mel why are you against her? Why do you think so suspiciously?" I asked gently.

"Because I've seen Seeker deception first hand. You remember Emily, right?" she paused. "That Seeker fooled us into thinking she was Emily. She misted the Healer and claimed she missed you, so we would bring her back here."

"It takes a special kind of soul to be a Seeker," Wanda voiced. She handed Born to Ian.

"Not you too, Wanda," I whined.

"I'm neutral right now, but that Seeker in Emily. It's not something anyone could easily forget. And remember a Seeker also killed Wes. This decision is not easy. Is Arena a soul worth keeping around or do we do her host a favor and send Arena off-planet?"

A/N: OMG what should they do next? You guys decide. Send me your requests. Your votes count. The polls are open.

Lo siento- I'm sorry
