Rating: PG-13?

Melanie climbed the stairs of the community building towards her room. She was slightly out of breath from running, and enjoying the control over her body again. It felt like she had been freed from a prison, and she hoped that things would stay this way. The only thing that worried her was that Wanda seemed to be in bad shape. The Soul had not spoken at all since Melanie had gained back control, and she felt so weak. As much as Mel enjoyed having her body returned to her, she was still worried about Wanda, the soul that had become a friend to her.

She stopped in front of the apartment where she was staying, and spoke to the silent Soul.

Wanda?

She paused, listening for a response. Just like the entire trip back to the apartment, there was no answer.

" That doesn't sound selfish to me."

He would know. He was the most selfish thing of all, right?

"I wonder if you'd be saying that if I told you I'd be willing to put her inside another human. Take someone elses life away to save hers."

Edward is very torn, here. Would he not do the same for Bella? Or Alice, Carlilse, even Rosalie?

" I...think I can understand that."

At least that would only be one person. And this girl would do it humanely. The person could die, without being robbed of anything but their life. They might even be lucky, in a way...

She pauses for a moment, not thinking of anything in particular before changing the subject.

"About Wanda. You should be kinder towards her. She's dealt with a lot because of what she is, but I'm sure you already know that, but she hasn't done anything to deserve it."

Melanie had become very stern and serious with her words. They were words that she had been wanting to say out loud for awhile, and now she was glad to be getting the chance.

Edward looks a bit insulted at that.

" I treat Wanda as I would anyone else."

Melanie rolls her eyes at that as the word liar runs through her head.

"I can tell you don't like her too much, and so can she. Wanda's just too nice to say anything about it. I'm just telling you that if you don't like her, just stay away from her."

Before Melanie got the chance to add more to her speech, Wanda forced out of thought. She had obviously been listening to the conversation, but despite everything, her thought was very quiet and weak, as if she were using all of her strength just to accomplish it.

Mel....stop....please.

Melanie froze as she heard the thought in her own head, and a sort of happiness went through her. She was glad that Wanda could speak, but she hid the emotion well.

"Don't talk, Wanda. It'll only make you weaker."

There was no answer to Melanie's words, but Wanda's presence was still there, and that comforted her.

"At least that's one problem solved."

"Yeah, but who knows how long it will take her to recover. I've never heard of something like this ever happening to a Soul."

" This is a strange place."
