The ground creaked under her feet. She moved steadily and fast. It was dark outside and the lamp posts blew her shadow 10 feet out in front of her as she moved on the outskirts of the small town. The heat wasn't as bad at night and not to mention that it was easier not to get caught. She knelt behind a small Sophora, not covering her body very well.
Amanda started to breathe heavily. She hasn't eaten in 26 hours, she estimated, and her body started to grow weary. Getting ready to get back up, her eyes caught hold of the moon. It reminded her of Luke, the only human she knew when she was on the run that stayed with, and loved, her. A tear grew in her eye but she shook her head vigioursly and continued to move. Giving one last glance at the ful moon, she heard the ground crack under heavy feet not 20 feet behind her. Amanda stood absollutly still and was fighting the decision to run or try to fight what ever it was off.
Amanda took 3 slow steps to face the noise, getting ready...

Wanda scowled slightly at the bushes that caught her clothes making too loud of a noise. Her head snapped up as she heard foot steps coming toward her. She shouldn't be to anxious though. The Seekers wouldn't find anything wrong with her actions if she was caught. However they might if they find Mel, Ian, and Jared who were all still in the van, hiding.
When she saw the girl she stood up straight and smiled at her thinking she was another Soul. "Hello," she said in a sing song voice. Her voice -Pet's voice. The voice that made everyone human and Soul just feel like they had to protect her no matter what. "I'm Anna," she said using a human name this time around. She figured it might be easier to come up with a human name now-a-days. All the souls were using human names. Well a few souls were.

Amanda saw a small girl it looked like. Her clothes appeared to be caught on a bush, and she was struggling to get it off. A part of Amanda felt sad and wanted to help her. That part of her brain only saw a small girl that probably needed help and would cry to no ends if she didn't get any. The other, more listened to part of Amanda's brain, said that it was a soul and don't get to close.
It was very dark outside, much too dark for a little soul like this one to be out. Amanda turned her head slowly to the left and the right, making sure to keep one eye on the soul, to make sure that she didn't make an advance on her. It didn't appear to be with anyone, than again they could be hiding. The only thing that came to Amanda's mind was to stand still and listen while the soul talked.
"Hello. I'm Anna," she said.
The voice was very pretty, almost light sounding, as if attempting to lift you up in the air. Defiantly a soul. Amanda, thinking deeply of her options decided to ask some questions.
"Where are the others? Why are you alone....?" Amanda's voice was barely above a whisper. She hung her head low, in a slight attempt to trick Anna in thinking that she would give up if she was surrounded.

Wanda giggled softly letting the wind carry the tiny bell like sound though the air. She could already tell that this girl was human, just by the way she sounded so paranoid. She thought about her question and how to answer them quickly. "I'm not alone, my friends are waiting in the car. We were looking for the more recent Souls in the resisting bodies to see if we could help out the human trapped inside." She said her voice still light and cheery though she knew this wasn't suppose to be a friendly greeting. This girl was obviously thinking that she was going to put a Soul in her body. "But then we found you," she smiled at her before looking behind her back waving at the jeep for the humans to come out and greet the girl.
"I'm sorry, and though I know you probably already caught my lie, I'll tell you my real name. I'm Wanda," she said holding out her hand to greet her, but she didn't expect her to take it. "I'm with the human resistance. I don't believe that Souls should be here either. It is your planet," he said just rambling on thoughtfully to the humans emotions. "But trust me, I've tried to get off this planet, my family just wont let me. Here is some of them now actually," she said turning around to watch the humans jump out of the jeep.

Amanda lifted her head up when the soul started to speak as if giving a speech. She said she was with the resistance..... Amanda lifted her head higher. She said she had human with her...... Amanda's head was fully up and confused. She wasn't sure if she should believe this soul or run for her little life.
As the soul, Wanda, waved for the humans to come from the jeep, Amanda had to make a split second diecision. Fight or Flight. Amanda chose the flight but as soon as she turned around to run, she heard the voices of the humans and found that she was too late. God!! Two times now!! Amanda trailed off from her thought and turned around. Instead of running, she decided to take steps backwards with each footstep she heard come closer the herself and the soul.Soon she was about 4-5 yards away.

Jared stepped cautiously into the little clearing from where he heard Wanda's voice. The air was heavy with night, a sign that morning would come in about 2 hours. If they don't hurry, they won't make it the caves in time. The brush around them was scarce, with a thin bush here and there. As Jared walked up beside Wanda, then did he notice that there was another person in the clearing.
Jared braced himself for an attack, obviously late. Noticing that Wanda wasn't the lest bit frightened, it must not have been a Seeker, so that left a soul and a human. Souls would not be out this late and thus came to the conclusion that it was a human. In the desert. By herself. Jared wondered how she survived on her own, but then again, many people did, so he went on to ask for information. "Hey! I'm Jared Howe. Human."
Jared noticed that she seemed to back up a step with every word he said, so if he wanted to get this human to the caves, he would have to act fast. Jared quickly took out a flashlight from his pocket, making sure it was fast enough so no one could assume it was gun, and shone it into his eyes. "See. Human." Jared spoke true as his eyes did not shine against the light.

Wanda was thankful when she saw that Jared was the one to start talking first. He was good at getting people on their side, when they were human. Wanda watched the girl take a few steps back getting ready to run away. "Please," she chirped quietly to her. Turning slightly she watched Jared pull out a flashlight and shine it into his own eyes. Smiling at the plain eyes she turned back around to the girl. "See," she said seconds after Jared had said it. "Were the good guys."

Amanda felt uneasy still. It was a plain fact that, at least, Jared was. This could be the group of people that she tried to find, well when Luke was around. She didn't care if she found the large group of surviving humans, she tried to tell herself but that obviously was a lie. She suddenly felt tired. After so many months searching, she finally found it. Maybe.
Amanda stopped her feet from going back more. When Wanda started to talk again, Amanda headed toward Jared. Better to near a human than a Soul, no matter if they're friendly or not. She didn't trust her. "Where do you live? How did you survive? Are there more humans?" All these questions came out in a rush and all directed toward Jared.

While the others were talking Ben walked into the scene, he had been in the jeep. Before he made contact Ben looked the new human up and down, she looked about the same age as him. Walking past Jared without looking at him, Ben extended his hand to the girl. On a closer look Ben saw that the girl was hot, but he didn't show it on his face.
"I'm Ben" He said in a somewhat friendly tone "I'm not a soul, trust me"

The tiny breeze of the night air made little strands on top of Amanda's head move in front of her. This scene was getting to hot for her. It had probably been ten to fiften minutes and already she has thought about running four times, this being the fourth. They weren't really doing anything except for talking and she didn't warm up to a human hunt or whatever it was that made these people come out. She didn't even know if Jared was either being held hostage to lure humans in or what. She didn't trust him. She can't trust anyone, especially souls.
The was a sudden movement towards the side of Amanda. She jumpedand gave a slight squeak from the new noise put out of place by the quiet night.Turning around so fast, it almost made her head dizzy, Amanda saw a boy. Well guy since man seems to old for him and boy seeming too young. He a taller than her and definatly nice hair. He walked closer towards her. Amanda wanted to move back (him having nice hair or not) from his on-coming advance but was too terrified, thinking she may bump into Jared and fall into a trap.
The guy stopped infront of her and held his hand out. "I'm Ben. I''m not a soul, trust me." Amanda looked down at the hand. It seemed rough looking. Definatly hard working but Amanda could have told that from his muscles. Remembering Jared next to her, Amanda wondered if all the men in this hunt of what-not have muscles like them.
Amanda could see that he was in fact a human. His eyes weren't shining off the moonlight like the small soul out of the corner of her eye. Deciding that if she would have been the prey for this group, she would already have a soul in her by now, Amanda hesitentively rested her small hand on Ben's, all the while starring directly in his eyes. If there was any deciving going on, she could tell.

Wanda was shocked when Ben stepped up to the woman. She still didn't trust them and he was taking a huge risk of making her run away. She watched as the woman and Ben touched hands and stared into each others eyes. It was hard to believe that she was so willing to communicate with him. She didn't envy him for it but it did shock her a bit.
Wanda looked back at Jared and shrugged. "It seems these two are having a moment, should we go back to the van?" She asked him guesturing back to the car. She kept glancing at Ben and the woman trying to see if they were going to do anything drastic.

Jared glared at Ben when he arrived. That stupid move of his could have costed them a human to save. Hearing the small squeak that the girl gave, he felt even more angry at Ben. She was terrified and now probabloy even more if that was possible. What the heck is Ben doin?! Jared thought but did not say for fear of scaring the girl that now had her back turned from him. He didn't want to make her jump.
When Ben walked closer and held out his hand for her, Jared was a little taken back that she accepted his hand. How could she warm up to him so quickly and not him? He did understand why not Wanda, but it could have been that Ben was a normal sized guy while Jared is more a large, more muscle type of guy. Maybe this girl had a certain sterotype against him. Who knew.
Making a slight astonished sound, Jared walked slowly over to Wanda, even though the distance was only a meter or so. He whisered, "Lets tell Ben that we have to go. The sun would be up soon, no doubt. Porbably if we leave now, we will make it to the caves by sun-up."
Not waiting for a reply, Jared tried to get Ben's attention so he could try to tell him that we had to leave now. Hopefully he would understand and try to get the girl to come with.

When most people were emerging to see the human, Phoenix peered around the car. She saw Ben, Jared, Wanda, and an unfamiliar face. Definatley human. She slowly tiptoed over and looked at the human more closely. "Uh... Hello." she said in her soprano voice. "I'm Phoenix. And you are...?" She looked into the human's eyes to make sure. The wind blew over, her hair toppling into an even bigger mess than it was.

Amanda was a bit hesitent. She noticed that Jared slowly moved to trowards the soul. How can he do that?! She is a soul! She coud kill you!! But once again Amanda was forced to realize that if they wanted her dead or have a soul put into her, it would have been done by now. This time, Amanda wasn't afraid to look when Jared the the soul, Wanda, started to talk. It was clear they were talking about her.
Placing her hand firmly now on Bens, Amanda turned her head to see a person, once again a human, next to her. Amanda screamed and fell backwards. She wasn't prepaired for that, definatly not. The girl didn't seem to want trouble, just information, but Amanda was too in shock to say anything.

Phoenix stared at the unfamiliar human. "Are you okay!?" she asked hesitantly. She didn't want to touch her just in case. She backed up a step. "I-I could leave..." she muttered, stuttering slightly. She felt sorry, but made sure not to show it on her face. Maybe it's a bad human. I don't want anyone to get mad at me for treason against them. |
