&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
I didn't sleep most of the night. It made me feel uneasy to have someone watching me.
Or, at least, I thought he was watching. I changed in the washroom, and came back to my cave. David was just laying there on his mat, facing me. I laid down facing the opposite way, but I still felt strange.
He must have noticed, because the next morning he said, "Did you get any sleep last night?"
"I don't think so." he laughed at me, and I glared.
Kim had already left for breakfast. "Sorry, I just find it funny that you couldn't sleep with me around."
"Are you under some kind of illusion that you're funny at all?" I snapped.
"Obviously."
I stormed off to the kitchen, and I heard him following me. When I arrived at the kitchen, I got my cereal and sat next to Jamie.
"What's the matter, Izzy?" Jamie asked.
"David kept me up all night."
Jamie started laughing, hard. I rolled my eyes. "See, I told you, Mel!"
"Told her what?"
They all laughed at my expression. "It's not-"
"-funny." David completed, sitting next to me. I rubbed my head.
"So, David?" Jamie asked. I could tell this was going to be a disaster. "What did you do last night?"
"Oh, nothing."
"Right."
"And what did you do, Jamie?" I asked, smirking.
"Nothing." he said, sticking his tongue out.
It was time for chores. David followed my Dad and I into the brightly lit potato field.
"How do you do that?" David asked, his eyes full of wonder.
"Oh, simple. We use mirrors."
"Mirrors? That sounds complicated."
"It's not, really."
Our job was to harvest the potatoes. It seemed simple enough. David grabbed a shovel and I followed with a wheelbarrow. We made our down the rows, Dad would dig, David would move, I would carry. I was soon sweating from the heavy wheelbarrow. I was grateful when Jeb called a break.
"Ok." he said, panting, "I'm tired. Let's take a breather."
I carefully set down the wheelbarrow, making sure I didn't spill the potatoes, and stretched. We had been working for atleast two hours.
"Hey, Izzy." Dad called from the opposite side of the room. I looked up just as he threw a water bottle at me. I leaned over to catch it, and I felt something hit my head with a crack. My head yelled in pain, and I sat up to see what I had run into. David was in the same position as me, and I relized that he had head butted me.
I frowned at the massive pile of potatoes next to him. He had tripped over the wheelbarrow, and dumped all of the potatoes that I had so carefully collected.
"Sorry." He said, getting up to help me. I ignored his outstretched hand and pressed the water bottle to my head. "Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." I mumbled, leaning down to pick up the potatoes. Dad soon joined us.
"Are you ok?" Dad asked, placing the remaining potatoes on the top of the pile.
"Yeah, I guess."
"Let me see..." he said, pulling the water bottle away and looking at my injury. I flinched when he touched the tender part where David had hit me the hardest. "I think we should take you to Doc..."
"I'm fine, Dad."
"I agree with Ian." David interrupted. I glared at him.
So I reluctantly let them take me to Doc. I felt fine, but even my mother insisted. That meant the argument was over; I was going to Doc.
"What happened, Izzy?" Doc asked, looking concerned.
"David head-butted me." I said, pressing the water bottle harder against my head. It didn't stop the throbbing pain.
"Oh, well let me get you some No Pain..." he said, rummaging through the small box of supplies at the opposite end of the room.
"I really am sorry, you know." David said. He had been staring at me.
"I know."
"Oh." He was silent as Doc gave us the No Pain strips and fresh water. "How?" he asked.
"Let it dissolve on your tongue." I instructed, and he watched in wonder as I put the No Pain on my tongue, and took a long gulp of water. He followed suit.
I suddenly heard quick, light footsteps coming towards the door. It was my mom.
"Are you okay?" she asked, sitting next to me. Her soprano voice was shrill, she was worried.
"I'm fine." I assured her. I hugged her, careful not to hurt her. She was so tiny...
"Well, I'm glad." she said. I put my head in her lap, and she ran her fingers through my hair. I suddenly relized how tired I was, and I drifted off to sleep in my mother's arms.
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
AUTHORS NOTE:Sorry about the slow update... I've been really busy with usless summer stuff. And by usless summer stuff I mean:
-Dying my hair (It came out black. Now I look like the third O'Shea sibling)
-Getting Breaking Dawn
-Joining my friends' band (If you ever hear the band "Orange Tuesday" becoming famous, I'm their drummer)
So, since school is starting, I will probably only be updating once a week.
Thanks for reading!

****************************************
"Stop biting your nails," Jamie said playfully, "Or, one day, you won't have any left."
"Yeah right." I said. David looked nervous. We were about to introduce him to Jeb, and it made me nervous.
It also made me confused. Why did I even want him here? So many unanswered questions.
We continued down the southernmost tunnel, heading into the main area of the caves. I watched David's expression as we entered the room full of people. He looked absolutely shocked by the fact that there could be so many humans in one place.
But, as we continued on, a noticeable hush fell over the crowd. Trudy, Lily, Heidi, and Paige approached us. They reached out their arms to me and I hugged them. It was bad enough to go on a dangerous raid, but to leave your friends behind was worse.
"Are you okay?" Trudy asked, fussing with my hair.
"Yeah, I'm fine." Trudy was like my adoptive grandmother. She had always been the one that watched me when I was little, and my parents had to leave to caves.
I clearly remember one day, when I was about ten. Trudy had been braiding my hair after my bath.
"You have the most beautiful hair..." Trudy said, running a brush through my long hair.
"Thanks." I had said, trying not to move so the braid would turn out.
She had been about halfway done with the braid when I asked, "Hey, Trudy?"
"Yes, Izzy?"
"How are Mel and my mom related? They are like sisters, but she looks nothing like her."
Trudy was quiet for a moment, and she continued braiding my hair without answering. I was about to repeat my question, when she said, "They're not."
"What?" I said, spinning around. Trudy looked at my braid. "Oh, sorry."
She continued braiding. "Then why are they so close?"
"Izzy..."
"Yeah?"
"Do you know why we live in these caves?"
"No."
"Do you know why we have to raid for things instead of buying them?"
"No."
"And you don't know why your mother and Melanie are so close?"
"Nope."
Then, she told me everything. She told me about the invasion, the hosts, the souls, when my mother came, when they were separated.
That was the day I truly new why we were in the caves, why we were hiding, and what was out there. It had terrified me. That was also the day that I felt like Trudy was a close relative. Even my parents were afraid of telling me.
"And who's this?" Trudy asked, looking at David.
"Oh, yeah. This is David."
"Well, hi David. I'm Trudy."
"Nice to meet you." David said, shaking her hand politely. I smiled, he had obviously made a good impression.
"How old are you, David?" Heidi asked out fo nowhere.
"I'm 16." he said, smiling.
"Oh, well isn't that nice! You're the same age as Izzy!"
He looked at me and smiled. I smiled back.
"That's Heidi." I said, pointing to her. David waved.
I introduced the rest of my friends. They all seemed happy to have a new addition.
"Hey, Mom?"
"Yeah?"
"Where's Jeb?"
"I don't-" she stopped. Jeb was standing in the doorway, holding his rifle. My eyes widened. I noticed my mother also looked scared. She had always been afraid of the gun.
"Hey, Jeb." I said, grabbing David's hand and pulling him towards Jeb. He didn't protest.
"Well, hey, Izzy." he said, looking at David. "Who's your friend?"
"Oh, this is David."
Jeb slowly put the gun down. I let out a sigh of relief.
"So, David." he said.
"Yes?"
"Are you planning on staying here?"
"If you want me."
Jeb scratched his snow white beard, thinking. His denim-colored eyes looked thoughtful. "I think that's fine. It is -"
"-My house." I finished, and smirked at Jeb.
"Yeah, my house."
"So, he's welcome?"
"As long as he's not another Kyle..." Jeb said, looking at Kyle, with Sunny plastered to his side.
"What does that mean?" David whispered to me.
"Kyle has caused trouble since the day he got here. He's my uncle."
"You mean biological or adoptive?"
"Biological."
"Oh."
Jeb interrupted our little conversation, "But, we've gotta find you a room."
"Ask Trudy." I said.
"Why can't he just stay with you?" I looked at him thoughtfully. It had never occurred to me that that would be a possibility.
"Oh, don't go throwing a fit on me." Jeb said, "I'll get him one of the mats."
"Oh," I said, looking at David. He looked fine with that. "That's okay, I guess."
"All right then, it's settled." Jeb said, finalizing his desicion.
David smiled at me, and, even though I smiled back, I couldn't help but feel nervous.

Author's Note: Here's your sequel!
****************************************
I was in charge of walking inconspicuously around the small store while Mom collected supplies. It had been my assignment throughout this whole raid. I was about forty feet away, pacing the desert, waiting for Mom.
I tucked some of my thick black hair behind my ears and tried to shade myself. I had my Dad's pale skin, and I was always getting sunburnt. I always wished my skin could be like Jamie's or Mel's, they never got sunburnt, just tan.
I sat down on a large rock and played with my shoelace. My shoes were tattered and torn, and I needed new ones. In fact, lots of my clothes needed to be replaced. My jeans were worn, and my shirts were getting too small. It was all because of the growth spurts I had in the last months. It was one of the disadvantages of being a teenager.
I drank some of my water, and looked over at the van. My father was waiting for her, and his blue eyes looked worried. I wasn't worried, Mom had gone on tons of raids in the 15 years since I was born, and even more in the years before that. It was a way of life for me, I was born in the caves, and I hadn't known any different. I was one of the few humans who had never saw the souls as parasites. My mother was one, after all.
My ears perked up as I heard a rustling sound behind me. I stood up and walked quickly to the back of the small building, trying to stay out of sight. I heard the noise again. It was following.
I picked up a large rock next to me, and prepared to throw it at this intruder. I backed up slowly, trying not make any noise, and ducked behind a tall pile of crates.
I suddenly felt a hand over my mouth. I tried to pry the hand away so I could run, but it was too strong.
"Make a sound and you die." I heard. I was suprised that the voice sounded young, maybe my age. I looked behind me. It was a boy with brown hair and eyes. He had a knife in his hand.
"Let go of me!" I said through his hand.
He took my water bottle.
"Hey!" I said, as he pulled my hands behind me and pinned me up against the wall. "That's my water!"
"Parasite." he mumbled under his breath.
"No!" I said. He wasn't convinced. My arms ached and my cheek that was against the wall screamed in pain. I moaned.
"Shut up."
"No, you shut up. I'm trying to talk to you." I said. I could feel tears in my eyes from the pain in my arms.
"I don't want to hear anything you say."
"I'm human." I said, emphasizing the last word. He looked unphased. "You don't see any scar on my neck, do you?"
He lifted up my hair and let out a little gasp. "What?" I said. "You didn't believe me?"
He still was perplexed by me. It was like he hadn't seen another human in a while. This gave me time to spin around. I pushed him to the ground, pinning his arms with my legs.
"What do you want?" I asked. He looked surprised that I was strong enough to get out of his death grip.
"Are there more of you?" he asked, acting nicer than before.
"Duh." I said sarcastically, "Why else would I be here?"
"You mean you have a family?" he said, sounding shocked.
"Yeah."
"Where?"
"Here."
"Is it just your family?"
"No. There's Uncle Kyle, Sunny, Burns, Mel, Jamie, Lily, Jared..."
"That many?"
"Yes. There's about forty of us all together."
It suddenly dawned on me that we could take him into the caves. "Stay here."
"Okay." he said.
I jogged back to the van, trying to stay out of sight. Dad looked confused when I jumped in.
"Hey, Izzy. What's the matter?"
"I found someone." I said.
"Another human?"
"Yes. Come here..." I said, grabbing his hand. Mel looked at us with confusion in her eyes, but seemed to be fine with taking Dad's spot.
I took Dad to the spot where I left the boy, and I was surprised to see him waiting. I thought he would run.
"Dad, this is..." I stopped, and looked at this boy. "What's your name?"
"David." he said, standing.
"Ok, this is David." He shook my Dad's hand.
"I'm Ian." Dad said. "And this is Isabelle."
"Isabelle." he repeated, smiling at me. It made me feel strange when he smiled at me. Something I had never felt. I pushed it to the back of my mind.
"So, David." My dad said, "Where are you from?"
"Mesa."
"Really?"
"Yes."
"That's where I used to live..."
"Hmm." David said. "What's your last name?"
"O'Shea."
"Really?"
We sat in silence for a moment, but I interrupted. "Hey, we should get back to the van."
"Yeah." Dad said, looking distracted.
"Can I come?" David asked, looking hopeful.
"Sure." my Dad and I said at once.
I tried to act normally, but I was confused. Very confused.
