chapter 2
"Hello Jonas" said a young adult. Jonas recognized her from the picture on the Givers desk. She was Rosemary.
"Hello rosemary the Giver misses you greatly." Jonas said sadly. She had a saddened look on her face
"Ah my father, Ezekiel. A great man he deserves so much better than the pain he must endure. I must ask you why you are not training." She said
"Aren't receivers unable to apply for release?" she asked curiously
"Well I am a part of a two person rebellion. I have given all the memories to the citizens. The giver will come soon. I say. She looked delighted to see her father. At least her father was not a murderer like Jonas's. The girl from before brought Jonas to his new dwelling, but they called them homes. She gave him a small screen that he could touch. It let him decorate his dwelling, no! Home. He decorated his ''home''.
"what is your name?" i ask her
"Ariella, but most call me Ari." she said. Jonas was confused. how would someone change there name so flippantly he wondered. he decided to ask.
"how did you change your name so easily?" he asked. she smiled a warm smile.
"its called a nickname." she said.
"i want one." he said.
"OK how about Joe?" she asked. he liked that name. he nodded. she left and he designed his house like his dwelling. accept his room was designed like the giver room. where he got the memories. to play tribute to the man that let this all happen. he missed a lot about his old village. but at least he was free to feel what he wanted to feel. he could love and live free. he thought about that girl. she truly looked like Fiona he could see colors now that he was out of the village. her hair was fiery red, beautiful. he liked that she gave him that name. he felt a warm feeling in his chest. it was very confusing. he finished decorations. then he went to find Ari.
"Ari?" he asked her.
"yes Joe?" she replied
"would you ever want to meet Fiona?" he asked.
"not really. the idea of a person like themselves is often to much to wrap their head around." she replied calmly. almost serenely. Jonas felt happiness when he was around Ari. the emotions he felt were similar to those of the memories of family. although they were different. more intense. his heart was burning and beating wildly in his chest.
"Ari?" he asked
"yes Jonas?" she replied
"do you remember Fiona?" he asked
"only her hair, fiery red like mine. i remember the needle. then blackness." she said sadly.
"Ari! we have a new person, he says hes looking for Jonas." a boy yelled
"Giver!" Jonas said happily.
