The Host: the lost chapters
Chapter Two
It took Melanie about two hours to come back to consciousness. Jared was by her side the whole time. When she woke up, she kissed Jared with all her might, it was a sight I could not watch full heartedly. As the situation was, I could hardly bare to watch their embrace at all. Then Melanie looked at me, well she looked at her previous host and I. Her eyes glittered with the hint of tears as she stared at the beautiful soul I held in my arms. I knew Wanda would be beautiful no matter what shape or form she took on. How could she ever be anything but beautiful.
I didn't pay much attention to what Melanie said. I tried not to even look at her, for it only reminded me of her previous occupant. The being I loved with all my heart. If I allowed myself the chance to look at her, then I might still think that it my Wandere r looking back at me.
I heard footsteps coming towards me, but I didn't even care enough to look up. It was only when I saw a hand reach for the cryotank that I recoiled.
"NO." I scream. "You can't send her back. You can't take her away from me. I wont let you."
The hand retracted.
"Don't worry, Ian." Said the far too familiar voice of the woman I loved. "I loved her too, and I won't let her have her way. She's had her way for far too long, so now it's my turn to take control. She's not going anywhere. Don't you worry, I won't let her go."
She and all the others besides Doc, Kyle and the unconscious Jodi left the room. I waited until I could hear both the snores of Doc and Kyle to leave and make my way out of this place. I had to take her back to my room. OUR room if she still was here.
Luckily there was no one out in the caves as I wandered the tunnel to the red and black doors that stood guard. When I saw the bed I imagined how many nights I slept with her in my arms. Tonight was like no other, but now she just couldn't hear me, and tonight she didn't even have an actual body for me to touch. A body made no difference though. I loved Wanderer whether she was in Melanie's body, or in a cyrotank as a beautiful silvery soul, or in any other body in existence.
Another body...Wanda...You could come back...
"I love you." I whispered as I lay carefully in my bed. "Goodnight"
