Red [or more accuretely "the bad color until you know the truth"]

I don't really have anything of great worth to say tonight. So instead I shall insert a insert [hehe]from my favorite trilogy. Red [from The Cirlce books]. [by Ted Dekker]
If you're ever going to read them then you probably shouldnt read this because it gives away a slighty significant peice of information. Kind of.
No worries though.
That's just my disclaimer.
I dont remember what page this is from, so don't sue me. [please?]
Here we go:

"A soft and inviting voice replaced the cry.
"Remember me, Thomas" it said.
Justin said.
Elyon said.
Light lit the edges of his mind.
A red light.
Thomas suddenly opened his eyes, stunned by the sudden turn.The burning in his chest was gone. The water was warm and the light below seemed brighter.
He was alive?
He sucked at the red water and pushed it out.
Breathing! He was alive!
Thomas cried out in astonishment. He glanced down at his legs and arms.
Yes, this was real. He was here, floating in the lake, not in some other disconnected reality. And his skin...he rubbed it with his thumb.
The disease was gone.

---Johan stepped forward and spoke directly to the people.
"The lake isn't poisoned; it has only been changed. Am I dead? Does the disease still cling to my flesh? Am I a Scab? No, I'm free of the disease, and its because I did what Justin told us to do. To follow him in his death by drowning in the lake and finding new life! This is the fullfilment of the boy's prophesy. This is how the blow against evil the boy told us about, and it has come when all other hope is lost."
He thrust his hand back toward the lake.
"Enter the lake and find his life. Drown, all of you! Drown!" "

Hehee, this gives me happies.

Goodnight, friendlings.
