One? Ish?A Chapter by crazysoxSummary to get you CAPTIVATED! Oooooooooh....! :)In a world much like our own, one vital
element is missing " the noise. Eleanor and Luella use sign language and a
tapping similar to Morse code to communicate, just like the rest of the world.
These people live, day after day, never hearing a peep, never using their ears. It’s an ordinary day when the world
changes forever. Eleanor, a young, average girl, and her little sister, Luella,
are shopping for a gift for their mother on a Sunday afternoon. While fumbling
with the change, Eleanor lets slip a penny that rolls into the calm highway.
Naïve, oblivious, autistic Luella chases after the coin, nearly getting
flattened by a truck. Luckily, however, a stranger swoops in to save the day. Eleanor wakes up in the back of a truck,
sleepy and dazed. She tries to remember what happened, and how she got there,
but she can’t. She can only remember the music. With this thought in her head,
she wonders what sort of magical person could have created something so
awe-inspiring…..or what kind of monster. But the man who kidnapped these two girls
isn’t a monster at all. In fact, he’s a young, fifteen-year-old boy named
Casey, and is the same age as Eleanor. He captured them in an act of
cowardliness, fearing for his life’s work….music. As Casey teaches the girls
what music is, and why it is missing, the trio becomes great friends and work
together to bring sound and speech back to the silent world. All good things
end in time, though, and soon, Eleanor’s life begins to crumble. The noise
stopped for a reason, and the people who stopped it don’t want it back. They
soon rat Eleanor out to the media, claiming she is a terrorist with a powerful
weapon, and reveal secrets about her plan that only she, Casey, and Luella knew.
Her family believes it and rejects her, Casey thinks she spilled the
confidential information and distrusts her, and in the midst of it all, Luella
goes off on her own, not wanting to be a jealous backstage dancer on her
sister’s stage. How can Eleanor
get everyone to trust her again, while at the same time save the world from
silence? Sometimes, she just wants to scream about all the frustrations she
has….but will anyone be there to listen? © 2012 crazysoxAuthor's Note
