Journey to The Elsewhere (The Giver)

Chapter 3

      As the chant became silent the receiver was about to say his last words. When all of a sudden they felt something coming, they were receiving something in their brains. What's this? What's happening? I feel something Fiona asked herself. She looked at Asher holding her head as Asher was too. She could feel a sharp piercing through their heads. Fiona and Asher heard a shy whisper from the receiver "he made it.." he said shocked. Fiona thought he made it? Made it where? What was he talking about? Then the pain stopped and the receiver started to talk again.

" I know you people are scared and confused, but as I said I will help you. What's happening is that you're receiving memories." He said very calm. " And these memories contain emotions, emotions are similar to feelings, but more powerful. For example, you may think you feel mad when someone, hmm, doesn't follow your rules, but really you just feel annoyed. Because, to feel true anger you would need to feel true fear. Because of the society we live in you may think that you've felt fear, but really you've only felt," He thought for a moment "apprehensive. This is very scary, but you will learn to get through this" after this, they felt something new, something colorful.

"What's this? Why is the river doing something? What's happening to the trees?" Lily asked very curiously. Other people were gasping when they started to see it too.

"Woah! Fiona, what is happening to your hair?" Asher said very shocked.

As Fiona looked at her hair she was as shocked as Asher was. "Woah!" Fiona said, amazed.

"To answer your question, what you're seeing is color. If you focus, really focus on the trees you can see green." Everyone started to focus on the trees and saw it. Green Fiona thought.

"That's amazing!" Lily shouted in excitement.

"Yes, it is amazing." The giver answered, chuckling a bit with a smile. "There are many other colors to our world, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple just to name a few." Wow!  Fiona thought to herself. "If you look at the second row you'll see a close friend of Jonas who has red hair." Fiona stared at her hair and focused on it and saw it red. "

"Fiona, your hair is so different!" Asher pointed out in amazement and confusion.

"Yes Asher it's red, but instead of saying it's so different we should embrace our differences, yes?"

"But I don't want to be rude." Asher said concerningly

"I know it's against the rules to be rude Asher, but our differences are what makes us special. I will help you all, just ask me. I am usually in my room in the back of the auditorium. To warn you I'll only be here for a week."

"Huh? Why?" An old classmate of Fiona wearing a yellow shirt said.

"Well, once I teach you all how to handle these, I'm going to schedule a release." He said happily.

"So you're going to release all of your memories to us?" Asher said, concerned.

"Yes, don't worry I will teach you how to handle these"

"Okay, thank you" Asher said.

"Before I go back you all shall call me the giver."
