I won´t be able to follow what we´ve planned with the Giver. Something terrible has happened.
When I got back home, I was told the Nurturers have voted in favour of releasing Gabriel because he doesn´t sleep soundly. Even my father has voted for his release!!!
The release is scheduled for tomorrow morning.I can´t believe it. I won´t allow anybody to touch him. I have created a strong bond with him, and I really love him. I have taught him important things through memories and I can´t imagine a life without him. But it is not just for me. It is also for him. He deserves to have a chance to live his life. How can we rob him of this? How can the Nurturers decide to kill him just because he is fretful at night? How can my family say “Bye Gabe” so heartlessly after having him for almost a year? How can I be part of this family?
I can´t allow them to release Gabe. I´ve decided to escape tonight with Gabriel. I can´t wait till December. I have to save Gabriel. I´ll wait till everybody is asleep and I will take my father´s bike because it has the child seat attatched to its back.
I know it is dangerous. I know I may not be ready. I haven´t received the memories of strength and courage yet, but they´ve left me no other option...
It´s late and everything is silent. I´m leaving...
