I walked with the strange boy who called himself Jack. I could almost hear a pen drop as we walked because it was so quiet. This was the first boy I talked to since school and even then I was too nervous when it came to talking to them. Occasionally my eyes glanced over at him and I admired his blue eyes they were like my mothers and his hair that was sandy just like my fathers, we could have been related almost.
"So You're going to take me to him? the man who knows where whisper is? " I said.
"I will, but for every 100 steps, you have to show me a fighting move.The first one is now." He said as if we were barging.
"Okay fine, whatever..." I said with a puff, The first thing I'll teach you is how to punch. This is the basics but if you know how to give a good punch than maybe you won't be pinned up in an alley...So You hold out your hand. " As I spoke I motioned each word," You ball your fist up straighten your wrist and put all your force into your subject. Now your turn."
The air moved from the mouth of the boy as he sighed. "Okay, I can do this." he put his hand in the air just as I had shown him and punched the air firmly. His face expanded as he smiled not showing any teeth.
"Did I do it right?" He said desperately.
"Yes you did but we will see when you have to punch someone for real." I spoke.
We started back walking in dead silence. The town was beautiful. A lot more beautiful than any town I have ever seen, that was for sure. There were little kids running through the streets. I saw the sun high in the sky. The adults walking through the street gave the illusion that no one worked and that there was no need to labor but just to enjoy life. That was the life I wanted, but would I ever get that? I thought. Am I crazy for believing my father or am I crazy for not listening to what he told me?
Questions, my dear. Questions that I might never ever find the answer too but I'm somehow at peace with that now. I gave life much thought and I realized that I'm not ready to die for a second time. I want to live this life again, better even than the time before.
Jack broke the silence with one question.
"Why do you want to get to whisper so bad?" He said.
"Somone I knew...use to tell about whisper as a kid. They told me that all the people they are free and not under government control. Their happy that's where I wanna be." I said.
" I guess, but I'm happy and I don't live in whisper. You will not find what you're looking for you, know that right?" He said
"What are you talking about?" I said.
"If happiness is what your looking for you can only find it within, within your heart. If you go out looking for happiness you'll only find yourself regret, and plus the government makes sure we are always taken care of. " He said
" That's not true. Do you live in the same country as me? Do you know what the government does to people?" I said
"No, I don't. what do they do." He said
" They kill people. Innocent people. Like my father." I said getting a little more heated.
"but the government helps the people not hurt us." He said with a confused look.
"Than you don't know your government to well." I said
As the hours went on everything was straightforward. Every 100 steps I showed Jack and new a moved and he tried to push to find out who I was even more. I didn't truly understand why he wanted to get to know me and so fast at that. My mind traveled everywhere. I thought about my mom and I tried to think about my dad but I was obviously limited. Suddenly I had this sharp pain cut through my head. "AHH" I yelled. This body that I had inhabited feel to the ground and everything went back.
"I was back inside my head again. Everything dark. My bones stood there fragile looking. "You can't go and hide violet. The world needs you." My dad spoke.
"Oh yeah, dad! what do I need? It never changes with you, does it? Its always about you and what I have to do for you, but what about me. don't you care that I just want to live normally?" I yelled.
" I didn't create you a new body so that you could live normally. I made you this way so that you can stop them. So that you could put an end to the government." He said firmly
"Well, I'm not, I don't want to. You gave me a second life and I want to use it any way I want to use it. If you want to end the government why could you let me die and you live." I said.
I heard nothing but silence.
"I couldn't do that... I wouldn't be living if my daughter was dead. that would have been impossible." He said.
"Nothing is impossible. Isn't that what you use to tell me. Now I've become the impossible and I won't let you or anyone else take away my life. Now, I have to get back to where I was going.
I suddenly opened my eyes and I inhaled all the surrounding air. I saw Jacks blue eyes looking down at me. My eyes were open but I was not all there. I was tired and alone and a little scared even.
"Are you okay?" He said
I picked my weight up off of the ground. I didn't say a word.
"You fell out cold.I have a cousin around the corner from here who is a doctor she could help you. He said.
I shook my head no as I was still in a daze.
"let's take a break. It gets hot out here sometimes" He said.
We sat on a bench looking out a beautiful sea.
"I don't think I'm doing the right thing by going to whisper." I said
"I wasn't going to say anything but I don't think you doing the right thing either." He said.
"What am I suppose to do?" I said
"I don't know, but we could figure it out together if you want. " He said
Okay. I said.
