Just changed the name! it used to be Over the horizon but that was lame. But if you were confused, don't be here it is!
Loveee
I woke up and looked around the room, noticing the two stars in the night sky through the crack in the ceiling. I lifted my head carefully as to not wake him. I looked up into his face, and I could feel my face flushing instantly, just from knowing this perfect man, the beautiful Ian, was all mine. It still amazed me how someone who has been hurt so much by the souls, can still find it in his heart to love me, one of them.
I sighed and rested my head back on Ian's chest. Curled up against him, I could feel all my worries and concerns about the future seem to melt away. I felt his breath pick up and his chest rise with a quick jerk, like he always does when he wakes up.
"Wanda?" he mumbled, still half asleep. I leaned up so that my lips were right up to his ears.
"Good morning" I whispered and gave him a peck on the lips. Out of the blue Ian kissed me back with a lot more force than I had expected, catching me off guard. Ever since I had gotten into this new, small, useless body, Ian has treated me a lot differently, not wanting to kiss me like he had when we first said we loved each other. Back when I was Melanie. Then again, I was in the body of a 17 year old… but he didn't need to know that much.
When our lips parted he kissed my forehead and I could feel him smiling. "Good morning to you too" he chuckled. "I'm going to miss this wake up call"
"Ugh I forgot" I groaned. I started rolling away and he pulled me closer to him, even closer than before, if that was possible. Ian, Kyle, Brandt, Aaron, and a bunch of others were all going on a huge raid, leaving today. Usually, Ian would never let me leave his side, but this time everyone has decided it is time for Sunny to prove herself, and they're taking her out instead, leaving me behind. Mel was staying behind with me as well, to make up for all the muscle that was going to be gone. "Do you really have to go?" I whispered into his shoulder.
"You know I don't want to. But after this we won't have to go again for a while. Plus…" He paused for a second and I could tell he was unsure of how to continue, "We're looking for some family to… bring back…"
"Good." I said bluntly. Ian always thinks this is a touchy subject but I was all for trying to get rid of the souls from this plant-my planet. "You'll find them. I know you will." I said looking into his eyes. I gave him a kiss and it progressed quickly-not as far as I would have hoped but I was getting used to it-when we were interrupted by a knock at the door.
The door cracked and a familiar whisper came through the door "Psst Wanda. Wanda you up?" Jamie call through the crack.
"Yea we're up come on in."
"Actually," Jamie said as he poked his whole head through the door. "I'm just supposed to get you guys for a quick dinner before you leave. Ian, Jared said he wants to be out in like half an hour. Not that I have anywhere to go." Jamie grumbled. After the last time he still hasn't been allowed out on a raid other than to find a body for me.
We ate a quick dinner of soup and rolls and walked out to the entrance of our home. Everyone said their goodbyes except for Mel and I. We wanted to run out to the cars with the group, so we could say our goodbye's a little more privately.
We ran through the dark desert with only the moon as our light, and although I wanted to run so badly, my new body just wouldn't allow me to keep going, so half way through Ian had to swing me on his back and piggy-back me the rest of the way-not that it was that difficult due to my size.
We got to the hiding place for the jeep and Ian and I found a little corner where we could have a few minutes alone. "Last chance," I giggled trying to hide the sadness and worry from my voice and failing miserably, "to stay here with me."
"You know I want to," he said bending down to kiss the top of my golden curls, "I would like nothing more than to never leave you again. But I'll be back soon. I promise. I will always come back to you." Those words made me shudder, reminding me of a similar promise Melanie made to Jared before I came along. But somehow, with Ian holding me so close, I knew that he wasn't lying and I knew he would come back. "I love you, my little Wanderer." He told me bringing me out of my thoughts.
"I love you too," I whispered before leaning up on my tip toes to meet his mouth. He lifted me up and I wrapped my legs around his waist to make it easier and he kissed me forcefully, the heat spreading through my body with such intensity I never wanted it to stop. I never would have let it stop if it hadn't been for someone clearing their throat behind us.
"Come on guys lets go already!" Kyle called from the Jeep, his arm wrapped around a blindfolded Sunny. She looked so cute, jumping up and down with excitement not knowing where she was going, and not caring at all.
"Try not to miss me too much" Ian winked at me smiling as he set me down, kissing me one last time before walking towards the bus. I looked over and saw Mel standing in the same position as I was, feeling scared and alone, so I walked over and placed my tiny hand in hers.
They started pulling away and we could see Jared staring back-not at us but at Mel, which though I hated to admit it still stung a little. Ian leaned out the window and I could barely see when he mouthed, I love you to me once again. "Stay safe" I whispered, knowing it was not safe to yell at him now.
"Alright Wanderer, lets head back shall we? Jamie will want us to spend the night with him probably." Melanie said, squeezing me hand a little.
" Yea lets go- Oh my sweater." I realized I had left my sweater over where I had said goodbye to Ian and ran over to grab it. I bent don't and picked it up and I felt the ground moving. I was too confused to process what was happening fast enough.
"WANDA!" I heard Mel shriek. Then with an ear splitting crack, I was thrown to the ground and I blacked out.
