I run to her. Kennan starts to ramble off questions in an angry tone. I don't pay him a speck of attention. I just look down at Shilo's face. Her chest starts to move slowly and unsteadily up and down. She is still alive. I jump up and attack Kennan. His body is much larger than mine, but I use his weight against him. I punch him in the face. He charges me and at the last second I move out of the way and his head slams into a tree. I stab him while he is dazed. He falls to the ground and unlike Stephen I leave his lifeless eyes to look at the world. I do not cry for this brother the way I did for Stephen. But then again Stephen did not hurt Shilo. I fall back down on the ground and hold her. I don't think there is a way to perform surgery without killing her. At this moment I know what I have to do. I hold each of her arms with mine. I shut my eyes and I send me into her. My being now courses through both of us. I latch on to her stomach in her body. When I am in a human I can heal them because they are like my host. If my host dies I die with it. I am in both of us. There is no couple anymore there is just Shilo and Bion as one. I am her and she is me. We wake up and gasp for breath. I live through her now and I can hear her thoughts because they are also mine. What is going on? Bion? I was stabbed how am I alive? What the? I am not alone. Who am I? Who are you? Get out of my freaking body you alien freak! She screams at me and at the same time I think to her. I am you, you get out. What in the? Son of a, grrr. She growls at me in her head. I am healing us. I don't want anything from you! And there is no us. There is just me and you, a freaking alien. Shilo I am you and you are me. How do you know my name? Why can't I talk to Bion? Shilo I am sorry. Sorry does not cut it pal. You invade my body and then claim to be me. Just shut it I am trying to keep us alive. The wound is almost healed then I can leave. Fine just hurry up! After a little bit I finish healing her. I put the rest of me back in my body. Shilo falls from my arms as I leave her. Her stab is now just a scar. I let out a sigh of relief. I don't want her to know it was me. I start to shake her. "Shilo, hey don't die on me," I pretend that I was not here when it came. It meaning me. Her eyes flutter open. She bolts upright. Shilo swings her dagger in front of me. "Whoa Shilo calm down," I say and hold my hands in front of me. "What happened?" She looks confused. I know what is running through her mind. I know how she thinks now. She suspects it was me which it was but she does not know for sure. "I killed him," I say pointing to Kennan. "I thought you died but then your wound just started to close up and heal. You twitched a little bit but mostly you barely moved," I tell another lie. The lies just keep coming. She eyes me suspiciously. "Shilo what is wrong? How are you alive?" She looks at me funny, no doubt she is wondering if I will think she is crazy. "Shilo you can tell me," I assure her. "One of the Others took over my body," she says with a defeated look. She must think that since she could not fight me that she lost. "What! And it healed you and just left!" I say in a surprised tone. "I know it was crazy! I started to think in my head and it heard my thoughts and responded to me. All it did was heal me and leave. It was strange," Shilo says with an astonished look. "I thought they would for sure take me over. And it told me that if it killed me it would die too." I give her a dumbfounded look. I pretend to ponder what she is saying. Lola comes over and starts to slobber all over my face. I fall to the ground and start to laugh. "Baby stop it," I tell her in between laughs. Shilo is pulled from her thinking by the commotion. She grins wide with her brown eyes playful. Then she comes over and Lola steps away. She comes down and kisses me. "Now that is some slobber I could get used to," I say teasingly. She pushes my shoulder lightly and climbs on top of me. She bends down and comes towards my lips. Then she licks the side of my face and gets up to run away. "Yuck," I say wiping off the slobber as I sprint after her. My legs are longer but she is very fast. I manage to catch up. I pick her up by the waist and she squeals. I pull her to the ground. She is on the ground and I lay over her. "Ahh help I am being attacked," Shilo jokes. "You are the prettiest hostage I have ever had," I say and bend down to kiss her. I kiss and kiss and she tugs on my lower lip. I want more, I stop myself. "You are the cutest kidnapper I could ever want," Shilo plays along. She kisses me. I get up and hold out my hand to help her up. My body aches for her. She grasps my hand and I pull her up. I brush some hair behind her ear. "Shilo you are so gorgeous," I say and she blushes. "Bion you are adorable," Shilo says. I dip her like we are dancing. She smiles and a small golden fleck shines in her brown eyes. My brown hair shags down almost touching her face. She brushes it back and holds her hand to my cheek. She pulls my lips to hers. "I truly enjoy our make out sessions," I say with my lips brushing hers. Naughty things dance in her eyes. "We should get back," she says with a disappointed look. "I told Alison I would be back in a little bit," she says. I sigh remembering her new role as leader. "Ok Mrs. big shot leader." She blushes. "I am not leader yet. The vote hasn't been official." I roll my eyes and lift her back up. "Come on baby," I say to Lola as we walk back to camp. "Oh thank God. What happened Shilo?" Alison says. "Long story, I will tell everyone tonight at the vote." Alison looks suspiciously between me and Shilo. "Okaaaay. So Shilo about the search for survivors. With Athan's condition I am not sure...," Alison talks to Shilo as they walk off into camp.
