The Giver (A Fanfiction)
written by (: GONE !!
Hi!! My name is Lila Black. I live in a community of sameness. So that means no color, no emotions, no real family, no choices, and no LOVE. Where I live is called a dwelling and I can't touch anyone outside my imminent family. We have no memories but our own. The memories are kept by the Receiver of Memory the most important person in the community. The Elders keep us in line and make the choices for us. We have morning injections to keep the "stirrings" away. The "stirrings" are dreams of people and that those dreams have rules are broken. I took morning injections until I found out what they were. Now time to start. Let's go back to my dwelling.

I stop before we go in and say...
"Wait, my brother is home so act normal and not like this. And what if they release us? What would we do then?" As I talk my voice gets higher and higher till I'm freaky out. I think that's what he said it was.
"Ok, well first we would be normal around anyone we walk past. Then second we would have to be very careful and try not to get caught. We can do this ok. I have faith."
I stare at him. "What's faith?"
"Oh yeah, sorry. Faith is hope but stronger." He explains.
"Ok." I smile at him the open the door to music.
I start laughing because my brother is completely off-key. I stop because I remember that I can't laugh if I took my injections I wouldn't feel it. Maybe that's why he looked at me weirdly today? I shrug and walk into the kitchen. I slice up an apple and grab some grapes I put them in a bowl and put it on the table.
"Thanks," Conner said.
"Welcome." I smile at him and go get plates for him and Ky. "Ky!" I yell. "Lunch or a snake if you want it!!"
He comes running in and then sees Conner and slows to a walk.
"Hello, Conner. What are you doing here?" He asks presently but suspicious.
"Umm... Well, your sister saw me and asked if I would like to stay for lunch." Conner said. He gave me a worried look before composing his face again.
"Ok, and Lila you have a telegram again. I don't know from who."
My hands shake and I push them deep into my pockets. "Ok, Conner and you can have some apples and grapes. I'll be right back." I walk off to the telegram. My head is spinning and my hands are shaking and my ears are ringing.
I have to hold the wall for balance. I take a couple of deep breaths before I enter the room.
