I have decided that I’m leaving seahaven, I’m tired of living like everyone else not being able to see color,experience feelings or make my own decisions. As I sit on my bedroom floor planning for my escape little gabriel crawls over to me and grab the sheet of paper that i’m writing on, I look over to him and whisper“you want to come with me gabriel ?”,and grabbing the sheet of paper gentaily out of his hand. He just laugh and I continue working on our plan to escape seahaven.Weeks have passed and tonight is the night that Gabriel and I escape Seahaven. Quietly, I take Gabriel out of his crib and walk out of my home quarters and onto my bike. As I’m riding to the ocean I don’t notice a security camera catching me riding at night. When I arrive at the ocean I run over to the boat that I made a couple weeks ago and put Gabriel safely onto the seat I made for him. As I’m about to get in to the boat myself, I hear two voices yelling “JONAS JONAS! We know you’re there!” and I realize that I know those voices. They are the voices of my best friends Asher and Fiona. I wonder why they are here, I didn’t tell them that I was leaving, but that didn’t matter anymore because I had to leave and nobody was stopping me. So I jump into the boat and start to paddle as fast as I can and as far as my arms could take me before the island was barley in sight and I couldn’t hear Asher and Fiona voices calling my name.A few hours have passed and my arms have started to get tired of paddling. I have decided to stop for awhile, but in the distance I see a door and I think maybe that’s my way out of here. So I start to pick up my speed and just as i'm about to get out of the boat with Gabriel out of the boat, I hear a loud a voice telling me to “STOP”. I look around and see nobody but Gabriel, then I realized that the voice is coming from a speaker that I didn’t see before. I recognize that voice. It's the Chief elder’s and she’s telling me to stop, why would she do that? I turn around and yell at the speaker and say“Why are you telling me to stop? I’m tired of living in black in white I want to have feelings and if I stay in Seahaven I won’t be able to experience that”.After I have spoken, it’s dead quiet until I hear the Chief elder take a deep breath and say“if you want to leave, go ahead I won’t stop you, but just should you know once you walk out of that door there won’t be any turning back, and you might like what you see”.I didn’t care about what the Chief elder said, she wasn’t going to stop me. So as I walk out the boat taking Gabriel with me and walk up the stairs to the door, I hear the chief elder trying to tell me to stop but I won’t listen to her. When I reach the door I open it and as soon as it opens, I have feeling of release and I know that I am where I am suppose to be. So with Gabriel in my hand we take our first step into freedom.THE END
