Host 2 - Jamie's Story

chapter 17

Wanda 's pov:
The moment I woke I felt eyes on me.
"Doc?..." I ask.
"You must hurry. The souls are trying to get back in and I fear your friends are in trouble.
Managing my dizziness I got up and ran to the entrance. Only to see a soul inject jamie in the back of the neck. He screams out loud and falls to his knees.

Jared tranquilizers the soul and mel rushes to help jamie; only he get's up himself. No emotion on his face.

"What did you do!?" Mel shouts.
"Its cool right. A faster way to take over people."

"What?"

We look back to jamie. His eyes had now changed. Emma 's body didn't move.
Jamie took one look at his seeker and moved to the closest person to him. Mel....

He jumped and pinned her down. Punching hard before Jared joined in to pull him off the winded mel. They fought for some time before Jared was thrown to the wall. Knocked out.

Jamie took his hands around mel and squeezed slowly. Murder in his eyes
Victoria laughed. Ian couldn't help or victoria would get involved; that would just make things worse. Emma was taken and she is the only one who can help him now. I ran down to stand in front of this new person.

"Emma! Emma are you there!"

"What are you doing you traitor. She's not here and she is not coming back. You will die by his hand too."

"Emma...please" I begged. "We need you. All of us. Jamie needs you. Don't let him do this. Don't make him bear the guilt of his sisters death. Please.. for our sakes. I know you have a hard life. But you lived through everything that was thrown at you. You have seen death no child should see. You're strong and I know after everything you wouldn't let yourself die this way".

Skyler eyes changed for a moment.

"You have to come back. For me...Ian... mel...Jared... for Lisa and Danny. For your sister,brothers and nephew. Come back for the people you lost for you to get here today. Come back....for jamie and the life you can have with him."

I could hear mel wheezing. Time was almost up. My attempt would be pointless.

Skyler eyes flickered again... and again and then more frequently until she curled into a ball and screamed. Then... silence. She looked up. Emma was back. Skyler still in the back of her mind but no longer controlling.
"Emma!" I shout happily hugging her quickly. "You have to help them."

Emmas pov:

"Jamie!" I yell. "Jamie please" I rush to his side but he shoves me off before continuing. "Jamie you don't want to do this."

"I must."

"Jamie! Jamie look at me! Look at me!" I held onto his face staring into his dark eyes. He paused and stopped choking mel but nobody moved. Mel was inhaling deeply.

"Jamie, you don't want this. Is this what you want? We all have lost someone close to us but doing it by your own hand..... I clear my throat...
To kill..."

A gunfire went off and Ian dropped. Wanda screaming. She ran to him. Victoria stood up and threw jamie a knife. "Finish her!" She ordered and shot again this time wanda. It was like time stopped. She fell on top of Ian's still body. Mel screams was heard as she cradled an unconcious Jared. Everybody we knew was now on top of the hill looking down helplessly. Lisa was crying in max's arms as Danny and Julie crying silently besides them.

I was suddenly pushed down and pinned by jamie. The look hadn't left his eyes. His knife on my neck. Gasps were heard. "Jamie" I whisper lifting my arm to touch him to only get the knife closer to my neck.

Trying not to think of the others I pay my full attention on him. Doc I guess was checking Ian and wanda. Are they ok?

Jared woke up and watched as victoria drew closer to doc. His back facing her. I heard another gunshot and some shouting and another fire went. Two bullets with some more people coming down to help. I could only hope everyone was OK.

I looked at jamie. His knife slowly cutting away the skin till a little blood dripped down. Instead I tried another way. I grabbed his wrist with the knife and moved it down over my stomach with much strength needed. He now hovered there. My hand still on his and not once looking away. A tear runs down my cheek.

"I know you can't control this I understand and I forgive you. Kill me. Kill me and look after everyone."another tear runs down my face."I know this isn't your fault." He digged in slightly making me wince but I continued to look at him.

His hands were shaking then his head. " No. I couldn't forgive myself for hurting you " he pulls me into a hug tightly against his chest. I breath a sigh of relief.

"Never do something like that again" he pleads hugging me again.

"To save you. Always..."
