We’re clearly a Twilight fansite, but we are also hugely in love with The Host and unfalteringly supportive of anything Stephenie Meyer does, so here’s a treat for the rest of you The Host fans! As we all know, The Host in paperback is now available for pre-order and one of the features of the book is an exclusive new (never-before-seen!) bonus chapter! The Wall Street Journal has a great mini-excerpt of the chapter and they’re sharing it with us! Check it out below:
I’m all alone. It’s dark. I can’t remember where I am … or why I’m here. It’s wrong that I’m alone. Where is Wanda? I can’t see to look for her. I can’t remember how to call for her. It’s silent. I can’t feel her. I can’t feel our body.
Panic starts to set in as I wait for her voice. For her to say my name. To tell me where we are. To open my eyes so we can see. I need to hear her voice — my voice, in my softest tone, my gentlest inflection.
I wait, but there is nothing. Just me and the dark.
The panic gets worse as I try to remember. Did she shut me out again? That happened once, I know, but I don’t remember it. I don’t think it was like this, panicking in the dark. It was just nothing then.
And I don’t think Wanda would do that. Because we love each other. I remember we said that. Just before …something. I try to dredge up the memory.
We were saying we loved each other.… We were saying …
Good-bye.
