Chapter One: Elsewhere
Jonas third person POV
Jonas slid down the icy hill with Gabriel in his arms. The snow was beautiful, and the music was twice as beautiful. Jonas held Gabe in his arms. Gabe was like a little brother to him, he loved him.
He slid down the hill. Jonas slid to avoid many trees. He stopped at a little town that he thought looked like the community. The singing was getting louder. Jonas walked over to a nice beautiful place. It was full of snow, everyone was not exactly talking. One voice drowned out others, it was a female. She looked like a twelve. She had tan skin and long, brown hair. But her eyes were funny, they looked brown and green at the same time. She was talking so loud.
And something was in her arms, it was strange. It was made of wood and had a funny shape, there were strings on it. She seemed to move them back in forth.
She stopped and looked at Jonas. She smiled and said "What are you doing out here on Christmas Eve? And with a little kid?" Jonas looked at her. Christmas? Kid? "What is Christmas?" he asked. The female shook her head and said "Never mind, lets get you inside." She took Jonas' hand and walked him to a small house. "Are you taking me to your family unit?" Jonas said. The female looked at Jonas, funny and said "No, I'm taking you to my parents." She opened the door, Jonas saw a group of people sitting and eating food. Some weird brown thing. There was also a tree in the house, like Joas saw in the memory of Love. "Mom," the female said "this poor kid was outside. He was freezing to death." She turned to him and asked "What's your name?" "Jonas," he said. "All right Charile," the mother said "let Jonas sit own and pray. Who's that baby you have?" "Gaberiel," Jonas said "Let us sit him down for a nap," the mother said. She took Gabe away and put him in a different part of the house. "Sit down Jonas," a little voice said. Jonas looked down, he saw a little girl. She looked like she would a five. She had yellow hair, and blue eyes. Her cheeks had dots. Her hair was tied into a braids, like Lilly. Jonas began to cry, "What's wrong Jonas," a male asked "This little girl reminds me of my sister," Jonas said, choking back tears. "Here," the girl, Charlie, said. She handed him some tissues. The mother came back, saw Jonas, and hugged him. Jonas wiped his eyes. "What's your sister's name?" the little girl asked. "Lilly," said Jonas. "My name is Ella," said the little girll "but everyone calls me Ellie." Jonas smiled "I'm Charlie," said the girl Jonas had met earlier "my real name is Charlotte. But don't call me that, Charlotte." "All right, Charlie." Jonas said "This is my dad," Charlie said, pointing to the male next to her.
"Call me Jim," said the male "so, what were you doing out there. It's Christmas Eve. Where are your parents?" "My parents," said Jonas "are people who lied to me." He told them about the community, Giver, release, and how he saved Gabe. He saw Charlie cry "Giver is dead?" she said, Jonas nodded. Charlie cried, Jim comforted her. He hugged her and said "It's okay sweetie, he's in a better place. He's with Rosemary, he got to see his daughter again. Do you think he would like that?" Charlie nodded. "What is going on?" said Jonas "Giver was my father," said Charlie "he hid me when he was supposed to let me go for release when I was a baby. I ran away when I was nine, because I thought I was putting him in danger." She smiled "I met his daughter, she was nice. And she was smart. I cried for an hour straight, when she was released." Charlie looked at him and said "You would have liked her,"
It was silent for a moment. Jonas looked down at his plate, he was done. He hadn't realized how hungry he was. The last thing he ate was the meal at his parents house. "Let's open our presents," said the mother. Jonas smiled, this was a real family. This was home.
Awwwww, such a sweet ending. :)
