A/N: Sorry, its been a while. I wrote the chapter but it accidently erased. So, here it is.

Wanda's POV

"And look at these little baby booties," said Melanie.

"Oh my gosh, they're so adorable." They were yellow with a little Winnie the Pooh face stitched into the front and little ears sticking out.

We currently stood in the middle of the baby store in the long strip mall. It had a few baby stores and few other stores we had stopped at to get clothes and other supplies.

Melanie had her soul painted contacts in and with the right amount of glitter, they even sparkled in the sun perfectly. The souls had made them for the little human kids to be souls on Halloween. They were peaceful costumes, never monsters.

Of course, there was one big flaw there. Humans could use them for themselves. They had gone of the shelf within a month because of all the seekers saying it made their job harder. Luckily, I had grabbed a bunch of pairs before they stopped selling.

So, Melanie stood here with me blending in in every possible way.

We added the baby booties to the basket. It was almost overflowing with soothers, clothes, and things. So, we decided to check out.

"Oh, is one of you expecting a baby?" the cashier asked curiously.

"Why, do I look fat?" Melanie asked shocked looking down at her stomach. It was a classic human reaction, although any soul could be worried about that too.

"No, no," she took back feeling guilty. "I didn't mean it that way. I can assure you that you look great. I just wanted to say congratulations."

"Oh. I'm sorry for over reacting," Melanie said, catching her mistake.

"So, where's daddy?" she asked.

I responded this time. "We decided to have a girls day out, but both of our husbands are playing in the tool store."

She cashier laughed a little bit. "Sounds just like my boyfriend. Well, thank you for shopping here."

"You're welcome. You sell the cutest merchandise I've ever seen."

We walked out and headed to the washrooms. Although we didn't use it, we both fixed our hair. We also organized our purchases so that it was easier to carry than a bunch of bags.

We decided we had enough things for now. We had almost already filled the jeep as it is.

We met up with Jared and Ian in the tool store. Ian was playing around with a laser cutter, an invention of the souls. "I'm telling you Jared, this is just like a light saber." Jared rolled his eyes. "I'm not saying it doesn't look like one. I'm saying I was never into the geek movies like that."

I walked up to them and hit Jared on the arm playfully. "Jared, you're acting like a human. Be more careful." Ian laughed and stood next to me.

We all left the store and got into the car.

It was a long drive back to our hotel. We stayed in it as the day passed by. We couldn't go into the desert at night, so this had to be done.

When the night came we got back on the road. The jeep drove smoothly over the rough desert terrain.

We finally got to the cave where we hid the car. It was about an hour away walk from the cave. Ian and Jared grabbed most of the bags, leaving only a few for us.

About a half hour through the walk, I swear I started to see shadows moving in the distance.

"Ian, I see something," I said pointing it out.

"It's just a mirage Wanda. Stop worrying. We'll get you some water when we get home."

A wolf howled in the distance. And it all went downhill from there.

A/N When I get comments it motivates me, so comment. Sorry its short but the next will be long with much more emotion. When the 2 main characters meet.
