The amazing trip

Today I was thinking about everything The Giver told me, and how much I want all those things. At dinner, my father told me he was going to release Gabriel. I tried not to get angry, and stay calm. But inside, I was furious, I didn't want Gabriel to die! I left the community, and took Gabriel with me. He was sitting at the back of the bike, asleep. When he woke, he was very happy. I gave him and my self some food. We went on with journey, to who knows where. After a long bike ride across miles and miles of field. We had traveled a lot of night already, I had lost count how many. My legs were aching, my muscles were exhausted. I rested for a while, my energy built up and I was ready for another few hours of biking. Planes were flighing above us, they were very loud. Gabriel, still sitting at the back of the bike, shouted out, "PLANE, PLANE." Everytime a plane flew above us.The number of planes narrowed down after while. I biked and biked through the same landscape, when all of a sudden it changed. The road got thinner and it was bumpy. As the bike wobbled over the sticks and stones, it was hard to keep balance. One night I fell off my bike, I twisted my ankle, scraped my knee and there was blood dripping from my legs. It wasn't a pleasant moment but I was happy Gabriel was okay. He was still tied tightly to the back of the bike. I got scared every time a plane came flying over us, maybe they went to search for us? We didn't eat for a long time, there was no food, anywhere. We were both extremely hungry. We both cried, because we didn't have any food and we were very, very weak. I also cried because Gabriel's face drowning. :( We went on for another couple of days when finally we reached the place where there was snow. The cold wind blew across our faces, with one streak of sunlight shining on the soft and fluffy snow. I hugged Gabriel tightly. For the first time, I heard music, I thought it was music, i'm not sure though. It's quite amazing how just one little thing can change you're life completely.
