Losing the Grip of the Rules

The sun rose high in the air, its light spilling the nearly empty streets. In a quiet neighborhood the would yet to become worried, a boy in a bicycle rode up to the street, throwing out neatly rolled up newspapers, dropping them on the right houses.
One newspaper unrolled itself when it hit the ground, making the front page face up.
The heading was 'MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARENCES' below it was a picture of The Museum of the Past; there were signs and barriers surrounding it.
Below the picture were different stories from different reporters. All of them told the same story. The disappearance of the new runaways and half of the defense army.
"Right now police and investigators are inspecting the Museum of the Past for any clue as to where a large group of people have disappeared yesterday at four o' clock in the afternoon," said the reporter on a news channel.
"The people are the new runaways from Community Nineteen and, oddly, their parents who are also a part of Elsewheres' Defense Army. So far, no clues have been found," said the reporter next to the other.
"Rosemary Banes was just found as one of the missing people in that disappearance in the museum," said another reporter, standing before the secured museum, "we're checking to see if anyone's been near or with her when the disappearance happened."
"I don't know nothin'," said a young man, a toothpick hanging from his mouth as he bit on it, "all I heard was them admirin' the pictures an' statues."
"There was one child in that group that I remember," said a teenaged blonde girl, "he looked like my brother Stephen, but he's dead so never mind."
"No, I don't know anything, will you leave us alone," Tara walked down the halls in the determination room, trying to get away from the reporters.
"Have you tested them?" asked a reporter.
"Yes but that's all I remember about them."
"What about after they were determined?"
"They were sent to Rosemarys home so they'd meet their parents the next day, please leave us alone we know nothing," she reached the testing area and slammed the door in their faces.
"Just tonight police have found their first clue," said a reporter from yet a different channel. "There was a note taped at the door of Rosemary Banes home. It was written in her handwriting saying quote 'There is Hope,' after that were the signatures of all the missing people."
The note was shown on the screen of nearly everyones' TV.
"We don't exactly know what the saying on the note means but the investigation will resume tomorrow. We're asking you the viewer if you know anything about this disappear-"
Jonas turned off the television with the remote and sighed. He looked at the book in his hand; the title said 'The Giver' with the face of an old man next to a river with a few trees on land.
He felt a hand lie gently on his shoulder. "It wasn't a waste of time," whispered Asher into his ear. "We escaped and got to Elsewhere."
"But it wasn't the real world, it was just a created world that was the mirror of this world," whispered Jonas.
"Look at the bright side, if there is any, this room connects us to the book world, you can visit Elsewhere anytime you want."
"Why would I visit a world that only exists in books?" he sighed and leaned on Asher, "I thought we were in the biggest war ever, now that we're here, I feel like I was wrong."
"Jonas, we wouldn't be here if we weren't real, it took me a while to understand this too," said a brown haired boy.
"Who are you?"
"I'm Invisible Spirit; I came from the book world too."
Everyone stared at him confusedly.
"Spirit?" Anna looked at him confusedly.
"Yeah, everyone here has a unique power, like at Elsewhere, except we call ourselves our power and end it with Spirit."
"Explain this over again I'm a bit confused," said Lily, trying to let everything sink in, "that girl that looked like a vampire, Black Hawk, she said that we're a part of an army of spirits, to defend the breaking world. What are spirits again?"
"They're people with unique powers, but they're not human. This has nothing to do with our DNA or that explosion at that community. It depends on birth; the chemical explosion was only an excuse in the story so that it would explain how different you guys are."
"Black Hawk said something about spirits also having spirits, that confused the shit out of me," said Aurora.
"Oh that, well, it's like a mate thing, you know how a male needs to find a female so they can mate and produce children?" they nodded, "well for spirits is sort of the same thing, except it's not by choice, it's by fate."
"This is some kind of religion isn't it?" asked Daniel who was also among the group.
"No. Spirits is a secret species on earth, no one knows about it and we'd like to keep it that way until we can finally repair earth from falling apart."
"But how can you keep one army in one building?" questioned Samantha.
"It stretches magically, on the lobby there's a board showing what floor carries what, and there's a board next to it telling you what each announcement means."
"I still don't understand how this can all happen," sighed Tom, sitting down on the floor, "I didn't even know there were so many different worlds."
"You'll understand soon, follow me to your rooms."
Rosemary and the parents were in Black Hawks office. There seemed to be every kind of newspaper everywhere, all in different languages and times, Rosemary wondered how many languages the teenager knew.
"Ok, I know this was kind of a sudden thing for you guys to come here, but I didn't know we had such a short time."
"What are you talking about?" asked Fiona's mother, Estrel.
"Well, I explained to you about the earth breaking apart when you got here so I'll just say the reason. First of all thanks a bunch for coming and bringing them here, Rosemary. Second, a few days ago I found out that the day for the world to break apart will be in two years, at five in the morning."
"That's plenty of time," shrugged Jonas' mother, Glen.
"No it's not, see, ever since the twentieth century, the earth had been breaking apart, my great great great grandmother was the first leader for the defense army, they didn't manage to save earth but they managed to give it about an extra twenty years, every time there had to be a new leader and army but they failed every time, now it's my turn and I feel like this time there's hope to actually save it."
"So, where's the old army?" asked Ashers father, Vance.
"They're all dead. To give earth extra years means to give away their lives, but to save it meant no harm to the army."
"And these spirits you said, they're not human?"
"No."
"How?"
"They have different powers, and they barely feel pain, it's only felt at the first blow."
"But why were we sent here?"
"I need the army to grow up to a billion at least, the more the defense the least likely we lose."
"What if you-we lose?" asked Rosemary.
"Then we're all dead, we can at least give earth about fifty extra years but I really hope that won't happen."
"Are the children supposed to train?"
"Not if they want to, there's a training section in the building but it's really just exercising their powers."
"So this war, it's bigger than the one we were just in?" asked Katharine's mother, Nephare.
"Yes it is, sucks doesn't it?"
"What about Albert? His parents are dead, and he WAS dead but-"
"Don't worry," Black Hawk laughed a little, interrupting Rosemary, "we have a bunch of spirits here who used to be dead. Life Spirit brought them back to life."
"Who?"
"Life Spirit, he brings back life, and his uh..................girlfriend, mate, whatever, is Death Spirit, she's my right hand ma-uh-woman!"
"This is common to you?"
"Yeah, you shouldn't not trust what sounds out of the ordinary."
Jonas lied down on his bed, it felt strange, a bit hard at first, but he started to get comfortable.
"So this is hell, and we have to fight it," he said quietly. Asher lied down next him.
"Well.....................lets try to make the best of it," he shrugged, holding Jonas' hand.
"Why couldn't we just stay at Elsewhere and none of this happened?"
"I don't know," he cuddled onto Jonas' chest, "if we stayed and this really happened, and they lost, what would happen to the books if the world was destroyed? Would the pages tear apart, breaking the book world apart as well?"
Jonas stayed silent and wondered about that. "Lets give it our best short then."
Asher nodded and moved up, kissing him before laying his head back on his lovers' chest. "So since this is the real world, would that mean that it's a mix between the community and Elsewhere?"
"Dunno, didn't Invisible Spirit or whatever tell us that the humans," he let out an airy laugh, "that sounds so weird, me referring them as a completely different species when I thought I was them for sixteen years."
"Yeah, what were you saying before?"
"Oh, well didn't Invisible Spirit say that the humans don't show any sign of power? That they're just ordinary?"
"I think so," Asher yawned and fluttered his eyes closed, "I'm gonna take a nap if you don't mind."
"I don't," Jonas ran his fingers lightly through the other boys' hair, wondering where they would go next if they lost this strange war. Would they just die and not become ghosts? Would they go back to their own world?
End
Are you guys gonna kill me? Or are you confused? Or both? looks freakin' nervous uh...............................................................well that's the last chapter, review.................................please..................heh............
