A/N: I don't feel like I need to tell people I'm not Stephenie Meyer, I mean, who wouldn't want to be Stephenie Meyer!? Why should the disclaimer always need to say I'm not Stephenie Meyer, when I clearly want to be Stephenie Meyer!? I guess "want" and "are" are two COMPLETELY different things in the dictionary! Aw, now I just gave you another rant about something stupid again!! Sorry and continue reading!!!

What's…happening? I thought to myself as visions among visions filled my head. Bright colors, many bright colors.

I remember screaming in pain as the visions took such…force. And that's all. All I could do was focus on those visions…

I love him. I know I do, I thought to myself as I hopped. I was hopping on the yellow grass of the Fire Planet with my left red wing out and my right arm outstretched.

I always felt so happy now and I knew it was all thanks to Rivers. He's just so kind and affectionate; I can't believe it's only been 4 months since I met him! It feels more like years…

My hopping was paused when I noticed Marry Madams sitting on one of those red anemones. She was old and…scary. She had faded orange hair, a lazy eye, and she always had a small, toothless, open-mouth smile on her face.

People were always scared of her, but I respected her so. She's lived 44 years in her Valkyrian body and amazingly…she's still alive. Most people live a few days in their bodies and then skip. Why they skip is so obvious.

Valkyrians were hostile and resistant. I looked away from Marry Madams and started walking instead of hopping.

They're the most resistant hosts we've ever met. The Valkyrians would take over our minds and…drive us insane. Literally. I get the goose bumps just thinking about it. The seekers never knew how strong they were, and we were too afraid to tell them. But we kept skipping and skipping the Valkyrians until it drew the seekers' eye.

And indeed it did. The seekers are here now, but they've come in human bodies. I have no idea how the human bodies survive on this planet; maybe we're more alike than I thought.

Anyway, the seekers are getting annoyingly persistant, but we dare not tell them anything. We would never tell those vile seekers anything.

I was standing in front of my little house. It was made out of bricks and it was nice and sturdy. Rivers' had moved in with me a while ago…Come to think of it, where is Rivers?

I opened the door, "Rivers, are you here?" I asked.

All of a sudden, I was thrown to the wall with someone's hand tight around my neck. It was a strong, firm hand…I recognized this hand.

I opened my eyes and they nearly popped. The person before me chuckled. "Shocked, my dear Silvers?" said the voice of Rivers Soothing.

I couldn't say anything. Partly because I couldn't believe anything that was happening, and partly because his hand was pretty tight around my neck.

What's going on? I don't know, but I do know that I don't want to die…and especially not by the hands of a traitor!! I screamed as my right foot flew up and hit him---bang!---right in the crotch.

He let go of me and started cussing and wheezing. It was at that moment that I noticed a few other people in the room; humans---seekers.

"You bastards!! What did you do to him!?" I screamed as I knocked the lights out of the closest seeker to me.

"Miss, please calm down!" one of them shouted--a young girl with red short hair.

"Yes, you're race is out of control and you didn't even tell us!" said a man who was losing his hair.

"Shut up, you stupid baldy!" I screamed at the man as I punched him in the face.

The young girl looked frightened; she was the only one left. I opened my wings and flew to her. I pulled her up to me by the neck and gave her with the most furious look I could manage.

"What…the fuck…is going…on?" I slowly said through my clenched teeth.

She closed her eyes tightly as she whispered, "We were…We were…"

"You were what!?" I shouted as I shook her.

"Experimenting! You wouldn't tell us the problem so we went in ourselves!" she shouted as she looked me dead in the face. She was looking cocky now, as she gestured to Rivers, who was slowly getting over his crotch attack.

"Head Seeker Above All is currently in his body and couldn't control it. Your beloved Rivers Soothing is right there," she said as she nodded to a cryotank with a glowing red light.

I then threw her to the wall, where she gave quite a disgraceful landing. Whoops, I forgot how breakable humans are.

I ran over to where Rivers was currently hibernating and glanced anxiously at his tank for a moment.

"Hey, little miss! You know you're gonna pay for that!" shrieked the Head Seeker, pulling me out of my thoughts. I pulled Rivers off the counter and jumped in the air, barely missing the seeker's flying kick.

"Where do you think---" he started before I gave him a backwards kick. He may have been a seeker, but I've been in this body longer and I knew how to control it.

"See you later, Mr. Top Seeker," I said as I ran out of there. When I ran out of the house, I froze in shock.

"AHHH!" screamed a neighbor as he was about to jump into the sky, that is, before he fell flat on the ground. Seekers. They carried frightening weapons and had killed him with a single bullet.

I looked around in horror and noticed that everyone was screaming. The trees were burned to the ground, so hardly any hiding spots were available. My family ran and ran, but the seekers kept shooting and shooting.

It was a nightmare. And I was actually in it.

I started running, with Rivers' tank held closely to my chest. I knew the seekers must've spotted me by now, but I just kept running. And for the first time, I did something I never did in my entire life.

I prayed.

I prayed to God; I didn't know if he existed, but if he truly did, then he would grant me this wish. I prayed that we would make it--Rivers and me--but if we didn't, then at least let Rivers live. Please, God, please.

Next thing I knew, I was running through a field of human-sized red anemone. I heard their screaming--both my families' and the seekers'--but I kept running. I heard the shots of the weapon that the seekers fired, but it never reached me.

I made it out of the anemone and froze to a stop. I was at a cliff top and the sight was completely… horrendous. I turned around and heard them running through the anemone.

I don't know what to do anymore, I thought as I held Rivers' closer to me. If I stay down, they'll kill me; If I fly down, they'll still kill me. I know I can't survive; I know I can't. But…can't I find a way for Rivers' to stay alive?

I gasped and then I jumped off the cliff. I didn't open my wings, so I couldn't be a bright target. I rolled onto the soft grass that, amazingly, was hurting me. Deal with the pain; you have a mission to do, I thought as I jumped to my feet. I started running again; Oh, God, if I ever do live again, please don't put me through all this running again.

Finally, I looked up and saw my sparkle of hope. I slammed the doors open and ran through the room with the shuttles. All the seekers were out killing my family, so none were in here---in the shipping area. I randomly opened the doors to a shuttle and placed Rivers inside. And then…I waited.

I put one hand on Rivers' tank and caressed it gently. Tears streaked down my face as I whispered my last words to him, "I'm sorry, Rivers…I'm sorry all of this happened and I know you'll be mad at me when you wake up, but…" I tried to swallow the lump in my throat; it wouldn't go away.

"..You know I love you," I said with a tiny smile. My voice started shaking, "I'll always love you. So please…don't get mad at me if I die…, because you should know that I died for you. Yep, only for you."

I lightly kissed his tank before I shut the doors. I heard the doors to the warehouse opening and I heard them shouting, "She's here! The last one!"

Instead of running away, like a smart girl, I walked towards them, like a stupid girl; I even had a light smile on my face. When I caught sight of them I raised my hands and said in a light voice, "Okay,…you can take me away now."

And that was when the bullets were fired.

"CLEAR!!" shouted a male voice as a violent shock ran through my body. Strangely, it didn't really felt bad.

"No response," said a young female. She had a familiar voice...but from whom?

I heard the pads shuffling before the male voice repeated, "CLEAR!!" The violent shock made its course again. Ow.

I heard a faint beeping as the female voice ecstatically said, "She's responding!"

"Wanda!" I heard a familiar voice say. Rivers.

Sure, just ask about her. No, no, don't even worry about me, I heard Silvers faintly say.

All of a sudden, the horrible nightmare played again--in fast-forward, though. Silvers…I thought compassionately.

She got a little anxious for a second…and then she chuckled. So…looks like the walls are down.

I felt my hands tighten and my eyes were getting teary, even if they were closed. Silvers…I can't believe that happened to you. I'm so,…so sorry. But you got what you prayed for; it came true! Rivers is alive and you are too---somewhat alive. But…

But what? she asked.

..Do you have any idea how you got inside my head?

Wanda…can we leave that for later?

I was taken aback. Why?

Wanda, she said with a tone of obviousness, You nearly died, in shock, just because you saw my nightmare of the seekers.

My eyebrows crumpled, But I'm still alive! Just tell me; I can take it!

Um…

"Wanda…, please open your eyes," said a worried Rivers.

I let out a breath. I slowly opened my eyes. The bright light was the first thing I saw…and the next thing I saw…

My jaw dropped as I continued to stare at the nurse standing before me.

"Ah, Miss. Wanderer, you're awake! You gave us quite a scare there, especially for your friend," said the smiling nurse as she gestured to Rivers who was, presumably, sitting beside me.

But I didn't even turn towards Rivers.

What the… Silvers? I asked.

…Yeah, Wanda? She replied nervously and equally as confused as I was.

Are you seeing what I'm seeing?

I think I am…It's like a mirror…Silvers said faintly.

Yep, this was a real mirror. The nurse standing before me had red long hair and green bright eyes.

She looked like an exact reincarnation of Silvers.

A/N: Gosh, the memory part of this chapter made me cry! I was listening to Slipping Through My Fingers (Meryl Streep version!) while writing this, so double the tears.

I kinda spilled the beans on this one. Well, kinda. I'm sure some people are still confused. Well, not to worry because you will soon be unconfused!

I think this story may be coming to an end soon…Now, hey, it's just a thought! I still have a little longer left to go!! Like, maybe 6 more chapters, but I'm not sure…

So what'd you think? Please tell me, I really want to know!!
