Losing The Grip of The Rules
The heat was growing between the two bodies, they ran their hands around the others body, feeling each other's smooth, warm skin.
Asher kissed Jonas passionately, feeling the warmth of his mouth as Jonas kiss back in the same passion. Jonas trailed his kiss towards Asher's neck, making sure he got every spot before he went southwards-
In two separate dwellings, Jonas and Asher woke up, sitting up, panting.
"Whoa!" was all Asher could say when he saw his erection.
Jonas sighed and fell back on his bed once he saw his own erection.
The week was over; they could see each other again. While they couldn't see each other they spread the word about the resistance to people they could trust, the adults refused but some children were thinking about it, a very small handful had agreed to join but another amount refused.
They spread the word quietly though. If they were caught then there could be the risk of being guarded like Jonas. But they kept spreading the word all the same. Lily was getting a little nervous because The Ceremony of Twelve was about five days away.
"How was it for you?" asked Jonas when he caught up with Asher on his way to the park; the resistance's first meeting. The children who agreed to join had to come in small groups and pretend they are going to play in the park.
"Not bad, about four children decided to join."
"I got three children to join."
"....So...how's it been going?"
"Boring, my parents couldn't talk to me because Lily's been saying stuff like I was getting painful memories and stuff."
"You're lucky."
"Why, what happened?"
"My parents stopped talking to me but they stared at me like they were afraid I'd kiss them."
"Oh....." Jonas blushed lightly.
"I stopped taking my pill though, you were right about the emotions. I just had a dreamed that seemed to have reaction to my-"
"Me too!" interrupted Jonas blushing brightly.
"Yeah, did the same reaction happen to you?" Jonas nodded, "good, then I'm not alone! I'm starting to see color too, not much, it's not as strong as you showed me but I can still see some of it...it's just sort of faded."
"It happened to Lily too, she told me about it two days ago."
"Too bad Phillipa can't see it though, but once she receives her stirrings and she doesn't take the pill then she can see them!"
"....Did you do it because you were curious? The kiss I mean."
Asher fell silent and blushed lightly, "I couldn't help myself, but I was curious about something different, sorry....did it disturb you?"
"No, just wondering."
"You're blushing! Yay I can finally see it!"
"'Yay'?"
"It was in one of my dreams."
"Ok.....so was the dream you had this morning about what you were curious about?"
"Yes."
They parked their bikes beside a tree and walked to the playground where the children were playing, there weren't many adults around, mostly just parents sitting on benches looking at their children play.
Some of the children froze for a moment then continued playing but their eyes were still on Jonas and Asher as if waiting for an instruction.
"Good they're all here," said Lily riding her bike and parking it near her brother's bike.
"All?" said Asher raising an eyebrow at the parents. Lily nodded and raised her hand stretching her fingers.
Jonas and Asher watched surprised as the 'Adults' took off their masks revealing a child's head, at the bottom half appeared another child's head from under the pants or skirt.
"One by one they'll come to Head Quarters. I gave them each a specific time to come and were to enter."
"Wow, you really thought this through didn't you?"
"Yup. The two children, that boy and girl, their names are Suzanne and Tom, and their 'parents', Ben, Anna, Stewart, and Adrian, will follow me to Head Quarters. You weren't followed were you?"
"No," they both replied.
"Good, Phillipa should arrive any moment, you'll follow her to HQ ok?"
The two nodded and sat near their trees taking opening their schoolbooks pretending to do their homework.
They watched in amusement as Lily walked across the path near the playground and Tom and Suzanne followed her, followed by their 'parents' who were walking a bit oddly and wobbling dangerously.
A few minutes later after they left, Jonas and Asher watched as a male three and female four played catch with a ball, the male three threw the ball hard intentionally and the two chased the ball the opposite direction from which Lily and the four children and disappeared from.
"Lily seems to have thought about this thoroughly," said Asher raising his eyebrows as a 'Mother' took her two children towards the path near the river and disappearing through the bushes as the girl 'accidentally' threw her doll in that direction.
"Half of the stuff I told her was this particularly difficult one," said a voice. Jonas and Asher twisted around and saw Phillipa walking towards them.
"Really!? Wow, I knew you were smart but not that smart!" laughed Asher as he made to put away his schoolbooks.
"Thank you....anyway," she dropped her voice into a whisper, "you have to follow me to HQ, but you have to leave your bikes here."
"Why?" Asher asked.
"Because it'll be harder for people to find us."
"Would it be even harder to find where are bikes are?" asked Jonas.
"That's what I thought too but Lily told me that the Elders put a tractor on your bike so that they know exactly where you are."
"WHAT!?"
"That's why you have to walk. You'll have to walk casually though, and we have to talk about something dumb too so as to not cause suspicion."
They both nodded and stood up; they followed Phillipa away from the playground to where there was a clump of trees.
"Why do we have to walk through here?" asked Asher.
"Because one: it's too dark for the younger children, two: it's harder for us to be looked over by cameras, and three: I like this part of the park."
"Oh.....why do I have to have the weird sister?"
"Well I'm SMARTER than you so don't argue."
Jonas laughed quietly when Asher stuck his tongue from behind his sister.
It wasn't a very long walk; they soon stopped in front of a trap door on the ground. It was disguised very well; the trapdoor blended perfectly with the ground, the metal handle was only visible.
Phillipa opened the trapdoor revealing stairs and a dim light at the bottom.
The three walked down the steps, Jonas closed the door, the dim light getting stronger and stronger as they walked on down the long flight of stairs. Once they reached the bottom they were walking through a path that was lit with light bulbs that were probably stolen, the announcer had said that things should not be stolen so these were probably the ones.
Voices could be heard now; Jonas recognized one of them as Lily's. Phillipa turned left at the fork of the path and entered a small round room that was lit like any other room, there were tables, books, the floor was carpeted with a light blue carpet, and Lily was standing behind a teachers desk at the front of the room with a blackboard behind her.
"Hi guys, you know your way now?"
"Yeah," said Jonas as Phillipa went to sit on one of the tables. "We couldn't get chairs so we're going to sit on the table ok?" she said.
Asher and Jonas nodded and sat on a table near Lily's desk.
"Ok, ten minutes more and we're all hear," said Lily checking her watch.
"What are we doing today?" asked an eight by the name of Adam.
"Well we're going to discuss about what we'll be doing for the days ahead, plan an escape to Elsewhere and learn what we've missed."
"Like what?" asked a ten by the name of Lori.
"Well about emotions, the past, pain, the stuff that Jonas receives from the Giver."
There was a good amount of murmuring. Some looked fearful.
"Will it hurt?" asked Tom.
"Hey you never told me I had to give away my memories!" said Jonas.
"That's because you're not, we're going to learn it from Jonas by telling us about it."
There was a wave of relief at this, and then three children appeared from the door and sat on a table grouped together.
Asher felt a hand hold his; he looked down at his left hand and saw Jonas holding it gently. He looked up at him and was greeted by a smile....like he had seen in his dream, so he smiled back enjoying the same feeling returning to him.
A few minutes later everyone had arrived, they sat quietly, waiting for Lily to speak.
"Ok, thank you all for coming here today. I ask again, if anyone here who does not wish to leave the community, stand," she said. No one stood, "ok, I must repeat like I did before, this is a risk of your own, if you cause suspicion or let slip about these meetings then there's a good chance that we're stuck here in this community."
"Don't worry, we won't tell anyone," said a three named Brad.
"Good. Phillipa, Jonas, Asher, and I will inform you when the meetings will begin so as to not cause suspicion if the Elders see a pattern to our meetings. Besides planning an escape to Elsewhere we will also be learning about emotions, how we all feel.....here we are free, so we can do anything we want-anything good-in this place, but outside in the community we go as normally as we can."
"But what about our pills?" asked an eleven, Tori.
"We don't take them."
"But what if our parents see our pills in the trash can?" another eleven asked, Aurora.
"We'll hide them in our pockets, and pretend we're emotionless people."
"But what if our pockets get full?" asked Tori.
Lily laughed. "Then throw them in a trash can that's not in your dwelling."
"Oh....."
"Will these emotions, when we learn them, hurt?" asked Anna.
"Some of them will, I've only experienced them through dreams."
"What should we call ourselves?" asked Phillipa.
"Any suggestions?"
"OH! How about, The Rule Breaking Children Who Want To Escape To Elsewhere!?" said Ben all in one breathe.
"That makes me feel guilty," frowned Asher who still had his hand held by Jonas.
"Um....right....uh.." Lily started thinking about a name.
"How about Resisting The Rules, we can call RTR for short in public," shrugged Phillipa.
Nearly everyone agreed.
"Ok so we're called Resisting The Rules, RTR for short," said Lily taking a piece of chalk and writing the name one the board.
"What will we learn first?" asked Ben.
"Jonas what do you think?" Lily asked. Everyone turned to Jonas.
"First, emotions and pain and pleasure, after that it's the past."
There was an excited murmur.
"But what about the plan?" asked Adrian.
"While we learn from Jonas, we'll be also planning for an escape, we just need to make sure it's perfectly safe and undetectable because, well you all know Jonas's condition of being guarded.
"But what about now? Isn't he being watched?" asked Suzanne.
"We led the Elders off by his bicycle, it's up at the park near the playground."
"Can we learn something now?" asked Brad.
"Well I don't know....if Jonas wants to," Lily looked at her brother.
Jonas nodded and got off the table, reluctant to let go of Asher's hand. He made his way towards the front of the room next to Lily.
"What emotion will we learn first?" asked Anna.
Jonas thought about it. "....Love."
"Love? I think I've heard of it before," said Lori pondering a little.
"Yes well it's not a term that's used anymore in the community. There are different types of love-"
"What kinds? OH! I apologize for-"
"That's quite alright, and don't apologize, that's a bit annoying. Well, one love is the love for family, it's like a bond between yourselves, your parents sisters, brothers, grandparents-that's the parents of your parents."
"How come we never see them?" asked Tori.
"Because they're in the house of the old, and anyway, we're not blood related to them anyway, our real grandparents are the birth parents of our birth parents."
"Oh..." went everyone, realization dawned on them and some sighed.
"That sucks," muttered Ben.
"Yes well the other one is the Love for our friends."
"That's the same as friendship right?" asked Anna. Jonas nodded.
"The other one is, in my opinion, the strongest, like a spouse and spouse, but in the past there was such things as boyfriend and girlfriend, there was also girlfriend and girlfriend, and boyfriend and boyfriend."
"That's the same as you and Asher," said Phillipa smiling.
Jonas blushed as well as Asher. "Yes, that exactly right."
"Is it true you two have kissed?" asked Tori.
"Yes. It's a way for us to show each other that we love each other."
"What's kissing again?" asked Tom.
Jonas blushed. "Well talk about that in a later time."
