The Lost World Of Victa

Chapter 25: The Precipice

Jameson walks in front of me and pushes the gate open. He reaches his hand back and grins at me, "Come on. You'll love what I have planned for tonight."

I tentatively grab his hand and he pulls me into the house. He leads me through the halls. We're heading to his room. I think. I may have been working here for six months, but I'll be damned if I could find anything other than the servant's changing rooms, the dining rooms, and the drinking hall. That's it. That's all I can find.

And apparently Jameson's room, because when we stop we're in front of his room.

"Jameson, why are we in front of your room?" I ask.

He smirks at me, and pushes open the door to his room. It's just as beautiful as ever, though the curtains are drawn tightly over the windows. It's nearly pitch black in there.

"Why is it so dark in there?" I ask.

Jameson laughs a little, "You're really inquisitive tonight, aren't you?"

I blush, "Well you won't tell me what's going on so I have to ask questions."

"If I tell you what's going on, it'll ruin the surprise," he grins as he walks into the room.

I follow him, and he guides me up onto his king-sized bed. I sit on the edge and watch him as he heads towards the left side of the fireplace. I notice that he has a TV mounted on the wall, above the mantle. Right now he's messing with a DVD player on a table, I think. He grabs a remote and shuts the doors. It's so dark I can barely see him, but after a few seconds he heads over to the bed and jumps on next to me.

"Jameson?" I say, reaching out nervously towards my right.

The TV suddenly turns on, and the room is slightly illuminated. Jameson is leaning back on the bed, into the headrest, and he's smiling. The white light of the TV makes his blue hair shine like the sky on a clear, sunny day. It's beautiful. He's beautiful.

"What's going on?"

"You see, I heard from a little birdie that you love movies. So, to celebrate your service, I wanted to watch some movies with you. Oh, and you can take your shoes off. I'm not gonna judge you or anything."

I glance down at my feet and realize I have my converses on. I reach down and pull them off, and scooch farther back into the bed, so I'm next to Jameson.

"What are we watching?" I ask. He's right, I love movies. They're my favorite things from the old world.

He doesn't answer as a song starts playing. I want to get up and dance, but I'm sidled comfortably.

As the movie goes on, we're introduced to the main character. He's a boy who's moved into this small town from the big city. Music and dancing have been outlawed in this town, but this boy is an avid dancer and refuses to give up his passion. He spends time with a girl, the daughter of the preacher of the town, who is not a lawmaker but influences the stuff, I think...I'm not really sure.

Anyway, he spends the movie dancing and fighting to host a dance for the senior class, because they deserve to celebrate this monumental time in their lives. My favorite part of the movie is when he teaches his friend to dance, because there is this cool montage, and there is dancing, and it's amazing.

There's some conflict with the girl's boyfriend, because she likes the new boy and her boyfriend is pissed so they get into a fight and stuff...I don't know he seems like a royal douche, but what do I know...like why was she ever with him in the first place when he treats her like this...?

Then the main boy decides to ask the lawmaking council, and he while at first he's kind of shut down, the preacher's wife stands up for him, and he explains his point. He uses a passage from the bible and shows the preacher, and council, that dancing isn't just used to be reckless and get intimate, but it's been used for many things, like worship and exercise, and to celebrate. Even though the dance is still shut down in the town, the boy's boss tells him that there is a barn just outside of city that could work. The boy goes and talks to the preacher one on one, and they come to an understanding, which is really sweet.
