The Host discussion

....

Wanda came into her room and crashed onto her cot, totally exhausted. She closed her eyes and fell asleep within minutes.

Wanda woke up a few hours later feeling well rested. She decided to go take a bath. She got out of bed. Took her towel. And left the room.

Ash burst into the room, Kingston carrying Wanda a few steps behind.

Kingston walked in and set Wanda on the cot.

Wanda's limbs hang around her. And her hair became a halo of golden yellow curls. Her breath was coming evenly and her expression was peaceful.

Kingston sat next to her. He just looked at her without saying anything.

After about an hour Wanda began to stir. She rolled onto her side, letting out a small moan.

Kingston smiled. At least she was awake.

Ash stood up straighter; she had almost fallen asleep against the rocky wall.

Wanda's golden eyelashes fluttered and then her blue-gray eyes were open, looking at Kingston and Ash. "H-hey where am I?" she asked, starting to sit up but feeling dizzy and laying her head back on the pillow.

"Your in you room" He said to Wanda..

Ash strode to Wanda's side and smiled anxiously.

Wanda looked to her sides, "Oh you're right..." she said. Then smiled.

"Do you even remember what happened?" He asked. He knew and so did Ash but he wanted to know if she remembered.

Wanda nodded. Her mind wandered to the face of the seeker and then focused back on the present, "I do remember."

"Good I guess." Kingston said with a shrugg

Wanda blinked, "Did either of you get hurt?" she asked, her eyes filling with worry.

"No. I'm good. Ash?" Kingston asked because he didn't know.

"A few scratches here and there, nothing serious," she replied, "Do you need anything, Wanda?"

"A glass of water would be nice," Wanda said softly. Her throat was bruised where the seekers hands had choked off her air and she had some of her arms. But the only one cut on her jaw. She counted herself lucky though.

((?))

((sorry... look @ your messages, it's imp!! well kinda...))

Ash nodded and, with a smile, she stepped out of the room to get her a glass of water.

Kingston sighed and leaned back a little. He smiled then said "Well......"

Wanda smiled as much as she could, "Well?"

"An intresting night I think" Kingston relaxed his shoulders

Wanda nodded, "I couldn't agree more..." she replied. She leaned her head on his shoulder and closed her eyes. When she took a deep breath her curly blonde bangs blew out.

Kingston looked at her and sighed. He set his head lightly on top of hers

"I should have been more careful. It was all my fault..." Wanda told him, her eyes closed.

"No it wasn't. It was my fault. I should of kept my eye on you" Kingston said with guilt

((?))

Wanda shook her head, "You tried Kingston but it wouldn't have been possible..."

"I guess so" Kingston said looking at the wall. "Now what?"

((?))

Wanda shrugged but found it difficult with her head on his shoulder. "I guess we could try and find something to do...." she suggested, though she had no good ideas. After the incident she didn't want to venture out anytime soon and it was pretty boring down in this underground safe house.

Kingston nodded. "It's pretty boring here.........but we could make it fun."

Wanda smiled and brought her head back to look at Kingston, "We can!" she agreed and stood up, her blind curls bouncing with the motion.

Kingston stood and smiled. "Ok so what to do?"

Wanda stopped and thought for a moment, "We could play hide and go seek?" she suggested. In these caves it was actually a great game.
