The Host (sequel The Seekers)

Chapter 2: Just when you think it's okay.

Recap:

Ian and Wanda are married. Jared got Wanda pregnant.

Ian thinks the baby is his.

Jared is pretty torn up about it.

Melanie knows the baby is Jared's

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jared's POV:

"Melanie, you and I both know that I can't do that. Ian will kill me. And not just messing around killing, I'm talking about full on punching me until I die. And if I'm lucky they might kick me out and force me to fend for myself."

Melanie starts laughing.

"Why are you laughing at a time like this?"

"Don't you hear yourself? Nobody would ever do that to you. Even though I'm pretty sure Ian's going to kick you into next month, he would never do that. He knows how upset that would make Wanda. Also they aren't going to let you fend for your own. That would risk the chance of a Seeker finding you. Then they would know where we were. Lastly no matter how many messed up things you do, your family and families stick together no matter what."

She was right. I had to come clean. The guilt has been eating me alive and now was the time to change that.

Sunny's POV:

I feel like a burden to Kyle. I'm like a lost puppy following him around. He's just stuck with me because of the Jodi incident.

Somedays I wish she would come back. Unfortunately, she was gone. I wanted to stay here for a chance at a real life but with the way Kyle controls me, I feel like I'm worthless.

All I am is some disgusting Alien taking over his planet. That's how everyone here seems to think. The girls will occasionally bump into me.

The guys will steal my stuff. I haven't bothered to tell anyone. I don't want to tell Kyle because that will be just another thing he has to deal with.

I couldn't tell my only friend, Wanda, because she was really stressed out with the baby and I didn't want to make matters worse.

I've lived a long life. I've made unforgettable memories. I never thought I would actually want to die. There's nothing left for me here.

I pulled out Kyle's gun he hides in the drawer. I put it against my head.

Earth is a complicated place.

Humans are a complicated species.

I'm not cut for this life.

Goodbye cruel world.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Kyle's POV:

They really worked us hard today. My clothes are soaked In sweat. I went back to the room to get a change of clothes.

When I walked in, I was flabbergasted at what I saw.

Sunny was sitting in a chair with a gun to her head. I quickly ran and pulled the gun out of her hands.

She opened her watery eyes.

" What the hell were you doing?"

" I was trying to release everyone from their burdens. Nobody would have to deal with the Alien anymore. It's not like anyone loves me anyways." She breaks down crying.

" Sunny your not a burden. Your the best thing to ever happen in my life. I've lost everyone who I've ever loved except for Ian and you. If you died, I don't think I could continue on. Your the other half of me. I do what I do to protect you. I love you more than I did Jodi. You are my life now. And you're not leaving me so easily."

She smiles and then in pull her in for a kiss. Everything feels normal. Just when you think it's okay, gunshots go off outside the room.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I was going to kill off Sunny but then I changed my mind last minute. Because I came up with an idea and she plays a key factor in it.
