Ok, I FINALLY updated (unless you people never noticed ^_^;)
Iridia - That was one long ass review with a good reason about why I completely missed the point of the book. I KNEW the point, I just broke some of the rules in the book, that's why this is a fanfic, it's not real. About Jonas being a rebel, I just turned him that way in the story, as well as the other children. You also said that Katharine's parents didn't have the power to release, sorry, my bad, me didn't know that, but I just turned them that way because since Jonas carried all of the memories, when he left all the memories came back to the community which is kind of causing a catastrophe, especially since the giver's dead and they need his advice, which since now they have more memories than they can handle I'm just guessing that pills aren't good enough help until they get a stronger dosage, and plus there's that memory of that war and since, like you said, they're like children, falling victim to the rules then they also fall victim to the memories (I think). Anyway, I know that some of my errors are also in the way the people talk, that's my bad too. Well, all of that said and done I hope you understand my point of you as I have yours.
Now, continuing to type down what my mind is shrieking, here's chapter fifteen whether you peoples like it or not.

Losing The Grip Of The Rules
-
Fiona couldn't sleep that night. She was in one of the guest rooms sharing it with Bruno and Tom.
She still couldn't understand what love really meant.
Every time she saw Jonas and Asher together as well as Benjamin and Daniel it made her feel like she was missing something special, like she had been putting up a barrier her whole life, keeping love away from her.
She looked out the window and sighed, she wondered why there were people outside at night, no one was ever out in the community at night. This place was still very new to her.
It had been a long time since the last time she took her pill, all through that time she kept feeling new feelings, seeing things change into color. She felt childish to fear these new things. The children didn't have a problem with it so why should she?
Her test results said she was a Ghost and a Super Strength. At first she didn't know what ghost meant but after falling through a table (it happened through a test) she had a pretty good idea what some of it meant.
Tomorrow she'd meet her mother. It made her feel nervous and afraid, her thoughts always ended up to bad conclusions, but looking at everyone else, she was alone with her own thoughts.
She saw the defense army fly away earlier that day, it looked like a group of human jets to her, but Rosemary thought them as superheroes, Fiona had no idea what she meant.
* * *
Katharine and Albert kept exploring the room for a few more minutes before they decided it was time to go.
Katharine kept the paper with the strange symbols, folding it and keeping it safe in her pocket.
Once they reached the stairs they heard voices and the sounds of feet walking down. The two paled and ran back to the room. Katharine hid under the teachers' desk and Albert pushed out the bed from the closet and hid inside the closet.
The voices came closer to the room. Albert looked through the crack in the door, hoping that he and Katharine wouldn't be caught.
The voices became clearer and louder.
"I feel she's here-Stan quit touching me I'm not interested, we're supposed to find Katharine dumbass!"
"Jeeze no need to get touchy."
Katharine blinked; she barely understood what the people were talking about.
"Here, in this room."
Albert gave out a small gasp.
Three people walked in, all of them were in the strangest clothes he had ever seen. They were dressed in big loose suits that covered their bodies. One was a woman who had her hair up in a pony tail. The other two were men; one had his hair very spiky which got Albert feeling there was something alive in it. The other one had his hair very short and shaved (like a soldier). They all had on goggles.
"Hello? Katharine are you here?" asked the woman.
No answer.
"Please come out, we don't want to force you."
Still no answer, the woman sighed. She looked around very carefully.
Albert let out a small yelp when the man with the spiky hair suddenly popped up in front up him through the crack.
"I think I found her," he said as he opened the door. He blinked when he saw the nervous Albert, "y-your name's Katharine? I feel SO sorry for you."
He was about to reach him but in his fear Albert tried to get away, running right through him. "I did it again," breathed Albert.
"Hey, Katharine, no need to be a show off, you're coming with us to Elsewhere," said the spiky haired man.
The woman sighed. "Stan, that's not Katharine."
"What? Oh oops!" Stan blushed in embarrassment, "my fault, sorry kid."
"Rosemary didn't say anything about another evolved one. What's your name?" the other man said.
"A-Albert," he said nervously, backing away from him.
"Hi Albert, don't be afraid, we're only here to bring you guys to Elsewhere. Where's Katharine?" said the woman sweetly
"Bring us to Elsewhere? More like releasing us, I'm not telling you where Katharine is," Albert said angrily, trying to hold back his fear.
"We're not going to release you," the woman looked at Albert in surprise. The man who wasn't Stand sighed, Albert watched in shock as he closed his eyes then opened them revealing black eyes with red pupils. He looked around and walked to the desk.
Blinking again to his normal eyes, the man looked down meeting the fearful face of Katharine.
Stan raised his hand to the desk and it moved back swiftly causing Katharine to yelp in surprise.
"Hello Katharine, I'm Loran, this is Stan, and that's X."
"Please don't release me," trembled Katharine, "just because I can fly a little doesn't mean I'm different."
"Whoa! That's not right. Who the hell told you that," exclaimed Stan.
"We're not going to release you, we're gonna take you to Elsewhere, we're a part of their defense army, see look," Loran pointed to the crest of Elsewhere marked on her suit, "we're pure Elsewhere people."
Katharine frowned. Albert kept staring at the Stan's spiky hair; he had a feeling it would turned alive then walk of his head leaving him bald. With that thought he suddenly burst out laughing making Stan jump in surprise.
"What?"
"I apologize for the rudeness but your hair looks like it'll come to life!"
"Huh," Stand touched his hair then became smug, "well what do you know about style?"
That only caused Loran to laugh with Albert. Katharine looked confused while X just sighed and waited for the laughing to stop.
* * *
Fiona still couldn't sleep, she felt hungry but she didn't know if she was aloud in the kitchen at this time of night.
She looked back out the window, people were still outside.
'If that's aloud then maybe I CAN go to the kitchen,' she frowned.
Getting out of bed quietly, careful not to wake Bruno or Tom, she left the room and walked downstairs, trying to find her way to the kitchen she had only been in once.
"Fiona?"
Turning around quickly to the room she had missed Fiona sighed happily when she found the kitchen. Rosemary was there too, drinking a cup of chocolate milk.
"What are you doing up?" Rosemary asked.
"I couldn't sleep, too many thoughts in my head kept me up and I was hungry."
Rosemary laughed quietly; she stood up and walked to the refrigerator that Fiona had been fascinated to see. She never saw or heard of a large cold and cool box that held food in a house.
"What would you like to eat? There's ice cream, orange juice, milk, we could make a sandwich."
"What's ice cream?"
"Oh right, I forgot. Well it's this cold cream that has flavor to it, you eat it."
Fiona shivered. She wasn't too fond of the cold.
"Try it," she took a small cardboard bucket from the fridge and laid it on the table.
She went to her cabinet and took out a small glass cup and a spoon. She filled the cup with ice cream and handed it and the spoon to Fiona who stared at the cup; she never saw a cup shaped so strange, there were large curves at the ends making it look like a flower. The ice cream had lots of black specks; some looked like they were crumbs of a chocolate cookie.
"It's better eating it when it's not melted, use the spoon, it's easier," Rosemary laughed quietly when Fiona was about to DRINK the ice cream.
"Why the spoon?"
"Well it's easier, ice cream's not exactly liquid, well not until it's melted. Try it."
Fiona took a scoop and ate it. She shivered as she swallowed the whole thing.
"Oh no, don't SWALLOW it all you'll get a.......brain freeze, are you ok?"
Fiona gripped her forehead as the numbing pain became strong then faded away.
"Chewing it is a better option. What do you think?"
"It's not like snow. It tastes creamy, cold, but it tastes really good. What are the black things?"
"They're crumbs of Oreo cookies," she walked to one of the cabinets and took out a package of cookies.
"I usually like my ice cream with extra Oreo crumbs," Rosemary made herself her own cup of ice cream then she took one of the cookies, split them from the cream that stuck them together and crumbled them into her ice cream before she ate it.
"Is that cream also cold?"
"No, here taste," she handed her an Oreo.
Taking a careful bite Fiona realized it wasn't cold at all; in fact it tasted as good as the ice cream.
"Something's troubling you."
"Hm?"
"I can feel it, what's the problem?"
"It's just that," Fiona tried to choose her words carefully; "I still don't really understand what love really is."
"Ah. Why?"
"Every time I see Jonas with Asher or Benjamin with Daniel I feel like I'm missing out on something."
"Jealousy, perhaps?"
"Maybe, but I still don't know what it really means."
"It means many things, whether it's for your family, friends or partner."
"Like what?"
"There's lust, attraction, true honest love-"
"You see that's what I don't understand. What's true love? What's its point?"
"I can't really explain, it's like something your heart is pulled to, along with your brain I guess. You'll know when it comes to you."
Fiona sighed and ate the last of her ice cream.
