This first chapter is not really part of the story I am in the process of writing. This is about what has been happening in Village. I am writing this fan fiction on the book I recently read in school, Messenger. I thought this book was very nice, and I wrote a prologue to the story for a English project.
For those of you who have read The Giver, this story will also have more about Jonas and Gabriel, and what is happening in Jonas's old community. This story will also be writing in first person. It will jump around from one persons POV, to another's. I will inform when I am changing the POV. I truly hope that I can start, and finish this story, and not take 4 month long breaks.
Remember, I am very busy right now, with school and softball practice every night. Also, I am not ALWAYS online. I usually am on just to check my email, or post a chapter. I am not one of those people with no life that is always online, sitting there, waiting for someone to talk to them.
I am now going to start this story. This is what has happened to Jonas and Gabriel since they has gone down the hill (this is at the end of The Giver). This is the only part of this story that will be in third-person. What type of third person, you may ask? Well, honestly, I just learned all of the third-persons last year, an I know limited, and omniscient, but ISN'T THERE ANOTHER ONE?! If my 7th grade teacher is ever to read this, I am sorry, but I have forgotten the third type of third-person. I could go look it up, because I do have my 7th grade English papers, but I am just that lazy. Okay, so now, I am going to start this story. Enjoy.
Jonas and Gabriel reach the bottom of the snow covered hill. Jonas looked down to see Gabriel sound asleep in the carrier that was once attached to the bike, he left behind a while back. Jonas also noticed that the sled beneath him was completely destroyed. He looked back to the hill and saw tiny pieces of the red sled that had broken off during the slide down the short, but steep hill.
Jonas looked around his new surroundings to see he must be in a forest. Trees surrounded him. He could hear a stream close by. He stood up and noticed a searing pain in his left foot. He ignored the pain and bent over to pick up Gabe, who was starting to wake up now.
"Where should we go now, Gabe?" Jonas asked the half asleep baby. Gabriel replied with a yawn.
"I suppose we can follow that trail. But where are we?" Jonas said, looking around. He started moving towards the pathway when he saw a young girl walking towards him.
"Hi! I'm Kira! What is your name? I have never seen you around here before." Kira said, sounding excited to meet someone new!
"I'm Jonas, and this is Gabriel, my brother" Jonas lied.
"Well, why don't you come with me, you can meet my father! And if you need somewhere to stay, you can stay with me and my father!" Kira said, assuming Jonas and Gabriel were new to this strange place.
Jonas walked behind Kira, who was talking away about her father. Jonas was not totally listening to her though, he was busy looking around for clues as to where he and Gabe has ended up. As they walked along the trail, Jonas spotted a sign in the distance it read:
Welcome to Village
A place for everyone
A/N- So, is it totally sucky? I tried my best, and I can't do any better than that! I know it was short, but that is how it was supposed to be.
