Chapter 26:
Jared, Kyle, and some others have been out on another raid for supplies for some time. After they had left, Jeb took Wanda on the tour of the caves, kept her around the rest of the humans as an attempt to get everyone used to her. It worked. But now, Jared and the others are back. And they came back while Wanda was teaching. Now the energy has changed. Jared was all for killing Wanda then, but now Jamie has laid his claim on Wanda. He convinced Jared to leave her alone, but Kyle made no such promise.
Chapter 27:
Melanie and Wanda are having a discussion. They agreed that trying to escape is out of the question. Now they can either try to prolong their stay by having Jeb and Ian protect them, or just have Jared kill them now. It's all about what would hurt Jamie less. They go for the quick option, but try to fight too. The only thing is, Wanda can't fight back, it is not her nature. Melanie can't understand it, even though Wanda has pretty much given up on her species, and is in love with Jamie and Jared. "I am who I am, Mel. I can't change that, though everything else may change. You hold on to yourself; allow me to do the same." I like Wanda's response. She always had a peaceful nature, so even though she has became more human, this part of her hasn't changed.
Chapter 28:
"A body that didn't function right was quickly and painlessly disposed of because it was as useless as a car that could not run. What was the point of keeping it around." Wanda is explaining to Ian that full-grown humans aren't kept on a hosts anymore, because there have been too many risks. They would use the body to see if they can get information, then discard the body. The Soul would then go to a different host. This image almost sickens me. Any body that doesn't function well, whether physically or mentally, is of no use, so they just chuck it out.
