Update- Hey all! I'm revamping this story and most of my other ones. I hope you like the new versions. I will have new chapters ready when I can.
This is my first Giver story, and I hope you like it. I don't have much yet, and what I do have is a ten minute jot down, but if you want me to go on, I will! I know that WAY more people read then review, so please, at least say good, okay, or bad if you don't want to be long winded.
Disclaimer- I don't own The Giver, it belongs to Lois Lowry. Done.
Prologue
2245 The Community
Fiona knew, knew it in her heart that Jonas would not be coming back. She also knew that he was dead. No fancy cover ups there. The Memories had taught her that. The memories were driving the Community to death, they couldn't handle them. Fiona heard yet another scream, and knew that a new wave was upon them, but this time, she felt no pain...
She was sailing, that was the word, on an... an, ocean! She let herself fall into the memory, only feeling a little guilty. All too soon, she was out of it, and back into her falling apart community. She decided to find the Giver, Jonas' Giver. If anyone knew what to do, it would be him.
It was still there, The Annex, but no longer was the door locked, it swung in the wind, inviting her to move inside, she did. It was dim, but not unpleasant, and it smelled. She felt her nose twitch, it had never done that before. Never.
Are you going to just stand there, or are you going to come in? a voice called from inside. With only a slight hesitation, Fiona entered the same door Jonas had only weeks before.

As Jonas slid down the hill, he heard the music; it was candy to his ears. He heard Gabe laughing in delight as he slid faster, faster, down the hill, and then the boy was silent. Gabe listened. Gabe heard music too.
For one horrible moment he was reminded of the Memory where had had fallen and broken his leg, but then, they were at the bottom.
Jonas called out hoarsely, and then fell into unconsciousness.
Well, there it is. Not much, I know, but please tell me if you want me to go on!
