Last Chapter

“ Hellooo, earth to Wanda” Jamie was saying, while waving his hand in front of my face.

“Sorry,” I yawned.

–WPOV–

“I guess, I better take you to Ian.” He sighed gloomily.

“No, no. I’m not tired yet, let’s finish the game.” I protested. I was getting near unconsciousness, but I couldn’t bear to disappoint Jamie.

He laughed, the delightful smile growing back onto his face.

“Wanda, your eyes are practically closed. It's okay we’ll just finish the game first thing in the morning. Plus I don’t want to know what Ian might do to me if I don’t take you back now.”

I groaned internally. First Ian, now Jamie. I really wish they didn’t choose such a fragile looking host for me.

“Fine.” I sighed in defeat, as Jamie linked his arm through mine and guided us to my room.

As we approached the dining area, I noticed a dim light dancing against the cave walls. I pulled Jamie aside to see who was in the kitchen so late. As we got closer, I heard hushed voices. We finally reached the entrance of the kitchen, and I saw the vague figures of Mel, Jared, Jeb, and Ian huddled around one of the small tables.

I tried to stay inconspicuous against the dark shadows of the wall, but once again my sleepiness betrayed me. I yawned and lucky for me,Ian was the first to notice.

“Wanda” he said as he strolled over to me. My name sounded so beautiful when he said it. Maybe because he said it with love, I pondered.

“Hey you guys, what are you talking about?” Jamie questioned interrupting my thoughts.

“Wedding plans.” Jared replied. “We need to plan a raid to get Mel’s wedding dress, a wedding cake, and other stuff.”

“Actually, I don’t think it is that necessary to make this such a big thing. It’s the meaning of being married that matters more” Melanie argued.

For once I was at a loss for words. I’d never been to a wedding before and I was kind of hoping I would learn more about the process by seeing Melanie get married. But it was her wedding and I should support what she wants. Then again, I knew that if the earth wasn’t consumed by souls, Melanie would’ve had a big beautiful wedding.
