Sorry guys for not writting in a few days. Strange things are going to happen!

Reviews please!

We were almost there, I could notice it by how the Jeep was slowing down. I was half sleep and my dreams kept mixing with what I thought was reality. Well, not my dreams… My nightmares. I was alone again, fighting on my own, struggling to survive in a souls world. Then I met her, well, I met her again, whom I thought was my only hope, a human. She was dark skinned and middle aged, she even had a child and she probably was pregnant again. She seemed strong and determined. She found me while I was looking for food, trying to steal from souls. Her dark brown eyes were very calming, she smiled and it was a ferocious smile. The Jeep kept moving on but slower every time, rocking us. She appeared again just to led me to the forest, to the first group of humans I found. That's when my nightmare began.

- Come kid. Let's eat something, you must be very hungry – The man who was now dragging me was strong and had the same expression as the woman who saved me. He had a wicked smile. I was so hungry, my stomach even hurt but when I saw it… I couldn't eat anymore. Other humans were chained to certain trees, further away from the camp. I stared and the man caught me - Don't worry, they're just souls. We capture them and try to make them talk. You know… - His smile returned and made a gesture I didn't understand at that time but I did in the memory, he was mimicking how he broke their fingers.

- I'm not hungry – A ginger hair caught my eye. I was hypnotised by that hair. Who was he?... I couldn't believe what I just heard. They tortured souls and by doing so they tortured other humans. I understood that souls had conquered our Earth, they killed us, they… they were about to make us all become extinct. At that moment a burning rage started inside me, what was it? Hate?

The Jeep stopped all of a sudden and some screams brought be back to reality. Something was going on, what was happening? I tried to open my eyes but it I couldn't and I was again pulled into my nightmare but… it was actually a memory.

- Tell me… Tell me! TELL ME YOUR SECRET! – The man I met before, Rick, was now screaming at one of the poor souls while holding one of his hands. The soul was shouting, trying to get some help but we were too deep into the forest and it was too lonely. The soul was a young man, a boy, when Rick let go his hand his fingers were in an unnatural position, all broken. Rick took a knife and pointed at the boy – Tell me, or I'll kill you. Just. Like. That – He was calmed again but in his face you could see his craziness.

- No need – The boy closed his eyes peacefully and after a few seconds a silver liquid run out of them, the tears of death. He had killed himself along with his body.

- Shit! One more of this and I swear… !-

- What you gonna do? Kill them? Too late – I couldn't remember the name of the woman. His son was standing next to her with a terrified expression. I felt guilt but not enough, how many humans had souls kill?

Someone was getting inside the Jeep, I could feel we were squishing even more. I didn't understand anything but I could feel the warm hand of Burns holding mine. I tried again to open my eyes but my body wasn't responding.

- You souls! so stupidly living!, thinking we're done with you! – Rick spitted on the face of the ginger soul.

- I don't believe so, sir! I really want to help you, I want to free humans from souls. I am different, you have to believe.

- It is a surprise tho, we never caught a seeker before. What imma do with you?

- Rick, maybe he is not lying… - I tried to intervene

- Shh, pumpkin. You've just arrived, you know nothing, even less than souls, so shut up and let me work.

I was so scared I didn't even bother to get offended. That poor soul, Ginger Hair, that's how I called him, he was really suffering. He didn't want to die and every time he was asked he answered with the same story. He had become native.

Rick stopped torturing him, he might be tired of doing so or maybe just hungry. We all ate together in silence and went to sleep to our small nests on the bottom of the trees. But I couldn't sleep, Ginger Hair's eyes kept waking me up until I couldn't control myself and went looking out for him. I arrived to the tree he was chained too and we looked in the eye. He was really beautiful and for a second I couldn't control myself. He was more human than the humans I lived with. I kissed him and surprisingly he kissed me back. I unchained him carefully, trying not to hurt him. At that moment, in total darkness in the forest, with his chains in my hand I started to feel real hope again, that maybe I could survive, maybe we all could. He grabbed my hand with the one Rick hadn't touch and started running.

The Jeep finally stopped and the fog in my brain started to dissipate but still I couldn't open my eyes. I felt how someone hold me and took me out of the car. A soft spray touched my mouth, mm… Strawberry again.
