In Jonas's POV
'Giver i'm going to do it for the sake of the community' My voice came out stone cold and harsh, rolling each words out with anger and irritation.
'It is truly dangerous to travel alone! Do you even know what you're doing? It's not like i'm not supporting you but it's quite a reckless idea you're proposing, son.'
The Giver pointed to my heart, I held on it in fear, clutching the silky cloth at the same time. I'm trembling, literally trembling in fear. I was never the one to be petrified at something, and now i am. it's like my brave side of me vanished into the air like it never existed.
The giver pulled me into a warm welcoming hug, a shock of electric flow all over my body, giving me the warm daddy hug feeling i've imagined in my dreams. Tears that I've been holding back began to make me sob on his shoulder blades, each sob that rolled off my tongue is a strength, a strength to step forward, a strength to be a leader.
'Why can't the world be fair to us all? why i have to sacrifice my own soul for an exchange of feelings for generations to come?' I mumbled, getting the slight effect of injustice. I pushed myself from the giver's warm embrace, the warm-ness turned to ashes, replace with emptyness. I weakly slump onto the floor, kneeling while sobbing in my trembling palms. I tried to say something but i can't, all i could just feel is emptiness. i eagerly trying to find my voice beneath me, taking a deep breath, Trying one last time 'Why ME!' my voice came out demanding as I clench my teeth.
'Life is cruel no matter what, but we can sill find light in our journey by wisely choosing our fate..... Once we chose something, there's no going back, all you have to do is just face it.' I looked up at him, his face was just screaming calm but on the inside you'll may never know that he's falling apart.
A sudden anger pulses through my veins, making me clench my hands in pure annoyance. i relax my fists on the sides of my body and encouragely look up at the giver, not just look up at his face but look into his swirls of hot chocolate. The Giver's eyes is holding back those sympathy tears, i serched closer and closer into his soul but i couldn't get my answer of the word 'safe' in it. I shook my head in disapproval.
'You evil monster! You lied to me!' I pointed at him accusingly. I felt my heart clench harder, making me whimper in emotional pain. he looked at me in slight confusion, he raised his hand to me, wanting to carress my hair to calm me but i just staggered back in betrayal. He took a step
'I'm going, give me a hand gun and a knife' i comanded the giver with no soul of emotions at all, it's just dark and empty. The giver just stood there with no slight movement. i grunt in annoyance. Do this old man understand directions?!
'What are you looking at? Get moving' I commanded. he still didn't move an inch but just stare at me like a total freak. I grit my teeth together and growl and him. He bounced in suprise and ran somewhere to get the stuff i needed. i put on my winning wide smirk while crossing my arms. That old man needs to learn.
After minutes of me, shredding all the books in the compound in pure mixed emotions. i felt somebody's presence behind me, shaking in fear. i whipped my head back at the someone and snarl at the Giver.
'What took you so long?!' I demanded while growling at him. He shakily handed me a samurai sword in a lether case and a small gun while bowing his head at me. I snatched the weapons from him and huffed in gratefulness. I needed to move fast since that old man delayed my shceduele for the sake of Gabriel, i can't lose him nor Fiona and Lily. I picked up my pace towards the exit and jumped on my bike. i needed to get to the residential area before sunrises in 15 minutes, the people need to see me fall helplessly on the floor with a smirk on my face, in a pool of fresh bloody red blood.
