Fire That Flows Forth sat staring at the red and orange flames wrestling to be the highest and brightest lick of flame. Her eyes reflected the color with faded dancing red, orange and sliver across the dark ground. Most other Seekers were on the other side of the mountain. From her Hosts experience, however, she knew it was dangerous to continue on during the night with just flash lights. Even if she was a soul; the other Seekers would instantly call for help if she was injured. No; if Humans sneak up on them. They wouldn't stand a chance, there dark clothing would still stand out against the pale blue surroundings. If she heard, or saw Humans. She could survive if she put out her fire and hid in the shadows.
Stifling a yawn she poked the fire with her boot and watched amber sparks flutter up and blow out in the wind. She sighed and thought of the other Seekers. They really weren't the best for combat, really they weren't even the best for missions like this. Her radio sparked to life and hissed out that there may be a sighting on top of the mountain. She looked up and saw nothing from where she was sitting; she was safe from the humans for now. Flows twisted her radio off and poured water onto the sand beside her before dropping the sand onto the fire. The flames disappeared; the ambers dimmed quickly. Still radiating enough heat for her; but not enough light for someone to notice her from far away. After scratching her knee; she shifted so her head was on her backpack and her jacket curled around her so nobody had the chance to grab her guns while she was asleep.

Wanda crawled out of the hole and crept around to the side were the entrance was. She climbed up the side of the mountain further away form the cave before walking along a path. She looked around, she didn't see any one until she noticed a soft glow of fire. Her eyebrows raised before bending slightly. Remembering her caution from being in Mel's body; she bent down and crept to the edge of a clump of dry bushes. She peered through and saw a Seeker moving to put out her fire. She waited till the Seeker was asleep before stepping into the area.
She crept along the edge of the clearing. Her eyes on the Seeker the entire time, until she stepped on a stick. It made a loud cracking noise. She looked down before looking back at the Seeker. Instead of waiting, Wanda's heart was beating hard because of fright and broke out into a run. You know the thing about how if you run from a wolf it'll chase you? Well Wanda didn't want that to be true for Seekers.

Flows shot up and grabbed her guns. She saw a human or soul or someone and shoved her guns back into her pockets. If it were a Seeker or Soul she didn't want to hurt them. She shot forward her hand grabbing her pack and swinging it over her shoulder as she stood up. It was a fluid movement. She raced forward and chased the person before jumping and tackling the other person. Flows grabbed her flash light and twisted the person over and shining it into her eyes.
After she figured out that it was a souls she stood up and apologized. "I'm sorry. I thought you were a human. Souls aren't suppose to be up on the mountain." Flows said, instantly feeling that the soul had been taken over by it's human body. Souls never broke the rules. This Soul was not one that had shone up during the morning. Flows hands opened her jacket up so it showed the soul the gun in case it was taken over by it's human body.

Wanda heard the Seeker stand up before footfalls thundering after her. It encourged her to run faster. Her breath coming out hard before she felt someone come into contact with her back. They both tumbled down to the ground before she was twisted over. A light was shone on her eyes before it was removed just as fast. "I'm sorry. I thought you were a human. Souls aren't suppose to be up on the mountain." The Seeker explained to Wanda. Then subtle showing Wanda that she was armed. Wanda gulped. She'd been caught.
"I'm sorry, I'm from Canada. I'm visiting the city for my photography calling. No one told me that the mountains were off limits." She lied looking just past the Seekers head so she wouldn't be lying straight to the Seekers face.

Flows immeditatly noted the fact that the Soul was lying. If the soul was from Canada. She'd have a Canadian accent. This one didn't really have a distinctive accent from anywhere out of Arizona. The second and third thing that noted her to the lying soul was it wasn't a good type for photography. It was almost pitch black out, the flash on any camera would make the area look horrible. And the soul didn't have any camera gear. If she did Flows would've felt it when she tackled the soul.
Flows looked down at the Soul before bending down and looking at the Soul before grabbing her gun and pointing it at the Souls head. "Don't lie to a Seeker. I bet that you're human took you over." Flows hissed before grabbing the Souls arm and forcing her upwards. "Now. I bet you know were all the other humans are. So that's why I'm going to keep you alive." Flows said before reaching in her jacket and pulling out some hand cuffs and snapping them onto the Soul before forcing her back to the ground.
She pulled off her backpack and begun digging around for her radio to send in a request to do a soul removal and Seeker reinsert. When she couldn't find it she swung her back pack on and grabbed the soul by her arm and forced her back up. The soul wasn't very strong.

Wanda saw the gun and panicked. Now she had been caught! Tears filled her eyes as she thought of how stupid she was. She should've convinced Ian to come with her. Then at least Ian would have thought better of going through the clearing were a Seeker was at. Wanda refused to cry, instead subsituting for biting the inside of her cheek. She was hand cuffed and forced up, before back down, before back up a second later when the Seeker couldn't find what she was looking for.
They were heading back towards the caves. Wanda hoped that someone was looking out the observation right now. You could see this area from the East tower. She looked up before back down. The Seeker began to search around the area. Wanda saw the radio and placed her foot on it before sliding it over and hiding it between her feet. She thanked that she was wearing her bell bottom jeans today. Providing more coverage for the radio.
She shouldn't have knocked out Ian. For one she just proposed to him, second everyone at the caves would never trust her. There fore not going to go get her when they figured out she was missing. She hoped that Ian wouldn't come without thinking, but part of her hoped that he would.

Jared didn't wait. He raced down the hallway dodging all the people and going out the main entrance. He grabbed the glock. Wanda was with a Seeker. Said Seeker didn't look like she was going to give up without a fight. Jared tucked it into his waist band before racing past everyone. He ignored the calls from the guys packing up the van.
He stopped at the edge of the clearing and ducked down. Taking in the current situation of what was happening. From where he was, Wanda had the radio between her feet hiding it, her arms were tide behind her back. The Seeker had two guns and a backpack. He looked back for Ian.

Ian followed behind Jared. He watched as Jared grabbed the glock and pushed through the crowd. He pushed people out of his way, his pace quickening. Everybody seemed to get in his way. He ignored the calls from people trying to get his attention and he waved them off, hoping they would leave him alone. He didnt need any distractions now, especialy when it was life and death for someone.
He had nothing to get so he went out empty handed. He saw two figures in the distance and fifured that they were Wanda and the seeker thatnJared had been talking about. He sped up and went ahead of Jared. He snuck around to a rock a little bit away from the two. He motioned Jared to come closer. HE peered over the rock, only able to see Wanda and the head of the seeker. He tried to think of a plan but they all turned out to be a failure.

Flows sighed when she didn't find what she wanted and stood up. She turned back to the soul and sighed. "Well. Then I'll have to bring you back to the others." She said before moving forward. Pausing when she heard foot falls before nothing again. Her eyes drifted around the clearing before she pulled gun out again and stared at the soul. She saw something move and grabbed the soul and twisted her around towards where the said something had moved. "Who's there?" She asked loudly pointing the gun towards it.

Wanda had a thought of tearing up her brain to save the humans, when the Seekers said she was going to bring her back to the others. Then the Seekers stopped and looked around. Wanda looked around before being tugged towards the Seeker and turned towards the edge of the area. Wanda's heat beat faster. Had one of the humans seen her? Did the Seekers find them? Or was it a coyote?
Her fingers brushed against the sleep and she held her breath. Glancing at the Seeker she slowly pulled out the Sleep and held it. Slowly she popped off the lid and got ready to either spray the Seeker behind her. If the thing the Seeker saw was a Seeker or coyote then she'd spray it before the Seeker beside her.
