The Giver
Chapter 7: Answers
Jesse stood silent and still as he was confronted by the man who had called himself "The Reciever". He was also very frightened but tried his best not to show it. He was prepared for any challenge the man proposed. He had lost Shalimar and was not going to let down his "family" again. He was not going to loose anything else even if he had to die trying. He was prepared to mass.
The Reciever could sense his fear and even more so his anger and hatred. But he wasn't going to hurt Jesse. "Hold on a second. I'm here to help." he spoke in a deep and raspy voice. Jesse thought this is what God must sound like. He went to speak but had trouble getting his words out, his voice was so dry and his whole body ached.
"Yea thats what The Giver said. Some help he was." Jesse was angry and frustrated."How do I know this isn't another trick? How do I know you are going to help me? My best friend is dead, what more do you people want from me?" He was once again grief stricken by the thought of Shalimar's death.
"Well because if I don't help you, you will be dead." The Reciever stared into Jesse's eyes."You are mixed up in something greater than you think. The Giver wants to kill off every human in existence. Some accidents are not really accidents you know. Like with your friend. " He could see the look of confusion in Jesse's bright blue eyes and explained. " Our species can never die as long as we can obatin life. We are immortal to a certain extent. In other words, we have to take life to live life." Jesse didn't understand. He was beyond confused.

"Adam its been 2 hours since Jesse last made contact with us shouldn't we be out there looking for him?" Brennan asked
"I'm not sure if it is safe. I hate to say this but there is a good chance we could have lost Jesse, and I'm not about to send more people out there." Adam could'nt believe what he had said. He was hoping Jesse was still alive, but now he probably just upset his young friends.
"No Adam Jesse is still alive." Emma said."I have a reading of anger and confusion.." She couln't help but smile. Jesse was alive.
"Great Emma." Adam was so relieved." Jesse's comlink isn't showing up but I'm sure he will be okay and that he will contact us soon." Adam hoped he was right.
***************************************************************************************************************************
The Reciever explained himself more and Jesse began to understand. They were able to stay alive as long as they took the life out of humans. Jesse still didn't understand why The Giver had passed himself off as he did so he asked the man before him.
"Well....its because he had to have a reason. We can't kill without a reason, no matter how petty that reason may be." Jesse was beginning to understand and as he did it made him sick at the thought of his "species" being drained of life for some......things. Jesse wasn't sure what they were. then it hit him. Had this guy killed too? "Hey, you said "we" feed off human life. You do this too?" Jesse was worried.
"Well we can live for 200 year with out feeding. I'm 137 . Very young for where I'm from." Jesse looked slightly relieved."I'm part of a group to stop the killings. To stop people like The Giver."
"So why do you need me?" Jesse wondered.
"You want your friend back don't you?" The Reciever asked. Jesse's expression totally changed. "The Giver can be killed, but only by one of his own kind, paired with one of his victim's kind. Only together can we bring him down."
"But how is that possibe? How can we bring Shalimar back?" Jesse asked
"She was the last one he killed. There is still time to save her." He answered. Jesse reached into his pocket and was suprised to find his comlink."I found that lying near you when I found you." Jesse put it on his finger and activated it.
"Adam! I've got some good news!" For the first time in a long time, Jesse was excited, almost happy even.
