Remember
I've been working on this one shot on the Giver, I don't know if it's good or not, but here you go!
Review and favorite! Following might not do you any good, it is a one shot.
Summary: In a changed community, a 17 year old Fiona remembers her good friend Jonas, and wishes that she understood feelings and love sooner.
I do not own the Giver.
The girl looked at the river, and the sky.
They were both blue.
She remembers a time when there were no colors, no feelings.
But all that changed when Jonas got lost in the river, taking the newchild who was going to be released, Gabriel, and all the memories he had given to us, the community.
The Giver helped us. He helped us realize what they were. They were color, they were true feelings. We now know love and feelings, but we also know war, hunger, and pain.
The community is not entirely as it was before, the Giver always told us. The elders still choose our jobs, and no one is with their real family unit.
But it will never be perfect.
The community does not do release anymore. We figured out it just kills innocent people. The girl realizes that Jonas must have known about release, because he saved Gabriel.
People simply die, of old age or a condition. The Giver died a couple of years ago.
She thinks of the old she always cares for.
She smiles as she fingers her fiery red hair.
Her name is Fiona.
The community thinks Jonas must be dead right now. But she knew. She knew that he was living elsewhere right now, having a nice life.
When Jonas was in the community, Fiona did not know love, she did not know feeling.
But she does now, and she regrets not knowing it before.
She feels such love for him, but did he ever feel that way for her?
She'll never know.
Her good friend, Lily, is now a well-known storyteller of the community. She is his sister.
They both grieved about Jonas together. They both wished they knew what love was before, because they felt such love for him.
Her other good friend, Asher, she could tell, also grieved for his best friend.
But he always tried to hide it, always wearing a smile on his face.
That's what she loved about Asher.
Fiona wishes she knew what love was, before Jonas left.
Maybe they had something.
But for now, all she could do was remember Jonas, and hope that he is having a good life there.
Maybe he'll find good friends, and love.
But all she can do is remember.
A/N: How was it? :)
