Ch 2 I suppose, lol
"Jonas, it's hard to explain. When I was little I thought I was happy. I had two wonderful caring parents. My father seemed too be very profound towards everything and my mother was lighthearted and easygoing. I was told that I took after her joyous personality. I always saw things in a positive manner. I grew with diversified interests. When I came to the Ceremony of Twelve, I was chosen to be… The Receiver of Memories," she looked over to see Jonas's reaction.
Jonas was shocked. This was too much a coincidence! It was the Giver's Rosemary! It had to be!
"Ah, I see you've heard of the position," commented Rosemary grimly, taking Jonas's shock for ignorance. "It's a position of great honor to be the Receiver of Memories." She said the words hollowly devoid of sincerity. "What happened is that I received… memories. But the memories felt real. Through these transmissions, I developed a deeper meaning of life…" Words came uneasily to her.
Jonas opened his mouth to speak.
"I know, Jonas. It's not a very adequate description. It's just words hardly express the feelings I've felt. I've experienced things you will never understood."
Jonas finally burst out, "The Giver's told me all about it!"
She looked surprised. "Who's the Giver?"
Jonas was puzzled. How could she NOT know who the Giver was?
"Your father!" Jonas voiced aloud.
"What are you talking about? Our village called my father 'Teacher.'"
"But your father is the Giver!"
"Jonas! What are you blabbering about!"
Suddenly it clicked. Rosemary never called her father 'The Giver.' That was a name that Jonas and the old man had thought up together. She probably called him pa or something.
"Your father was the previous Receiver of Memories," Jonas explained hoping he was correct in this assumption.
Rosemary looked questioningly bewildered. "How could you know?"
"Because," Jonas whispered quietly, "I was the next Receiver of memories after you."
