The Games (Jelsa/Big8)

Chapter 4

Elsa Pov

"Come on Anna. We have to get ready." I said shaking her awake.

"Five more minuteeees..."Anna mumbled and went back to sleep.

I sighed and rolled my eyes. This girl will never change.

I grabbed the blanket and pulled it.

"Up! Anna! Please." I shouted so she would wake up.

She groaned and got up.

"Okay Elsa! No need to be such s meanie!" She said pouting.

I lightly chuckled.

"I have a surprise for you." I said hiding the dress behind my back.

"Oh what is it!?" Anna said suddenly excited.

I chuckled and revealed the dress. Anna gasped and stared wide eyed at it.

"Elsa this must have cost you so much! You shouldn't have!" She said.

"Don't worry, momma Odie gave them to us as a gift." I said smiling.

She then jumped around and took the dress from my hands. I laughed but my laughter suddenly died when I remembered for what is that dress.

The reaping.

I felt the temperature drop and I felt lightheaded.

Keep calm Elsa....

"Go get ready Anna." I said seriously.

She suddenly got my mood and nodded. She took the dress and went to the poor bathroom.

If Anna gets chosen I will do anything to protect her...

Even if it means that I go to the games...

I went to my room and put on my dress. It was so beautiful. I combed my hair and made a bun( her coronation hairstyle).

I looked at the broken piece of mirror and weakly smiled.

I looked presentable...

"Let's go Elsa, we don't want to be late." Anna said out of the blue already ready.

I shook out of my daydream and followed her outside the house to my worst nightmare...

On the way to the plaza I catched a glimpse of Jack and his sister. He tried to wave at me but I looked other way and Walked faster.

As we got to the plaza we were divided by age.

I squeezed Anna's hand one more time and looked into her eyes. She was trying to hide her fear but I knew that emotion too well.

As the nightmares pushed me to my section I turned around once more but the person I saw was Jack. He gave me a weak smile and waved.

I ignored him and walked to my section. I looked up the stage to see a women already there.

"Welcome welcome!" The woman dressed in bright feathers chimed brightly.

Her name is Tiffany Tooth. I know, weird name. All the people from the nightmares are named weirdly.

She always comes here for the reaping. She wears costumes full of colorful feathers. This year they are green with purple and yellow.

I rolled my eyes at her bright smile. She was so happy about this, it was actually sick.

The plaza was full of nightmares guarding it.   They were dressed in black but the part of the hamlet that covered their eyes was bright yellow.

It was very scary.

"Today is a big celebration for all of us! We are going to choose the competitors for the Annual Hunger games!!" She said excited expecting everyone to clap and cheer but it was dead silent.

I glanced over to Anna just to watch her tense.

I'll protect her no matter what.

"Oh well, we will choose 2 girls and 2 boys. I'll choose one girl, then one boy, the other girl, and the other boy. May the moon be ever in your favor." She said smiling.

I always found that phrase odd. They always say it in the games. I think it's because the nightmares don't believe in the moon so its a mockingly way to tell us we have no hope.... But I think it means something more...

"Well, the First Girl, here we go." She said as she took out one paper from the giant urn.

I felt my breath hitch and the temperature drop. Please don't be Anna.... It can't be her... Please...

She started opening the paper slowly.... So slowly it was painful.

Come on! Just say it.

I felt my hands go ice cold....

Please...

"Periwinkle Bell!" Tiffany said.

I let out a relieved sigh and smiled. They didn't choose her... Well, there's still one more girl to choose but i feel more relaxed.

I looked over at the stage to see a girl a bit older than me walking up the stairs. She had white hair in a pixie cut, her blue eyes were glossy and I could she didn't want people to see her cry.

I felt bad for her... But at least it wasn't Anna.

"Now, the first boy." Tiffany said grinning.

She went to the other urn and took out a paper from the bottom.

I was a bit worried, what if it's Jack?

She opened it and I sighed as she told who it was.

"Sled snow." She said.

I looked over at Anna to see her a bit relaxed.

Maybe we're safe. Maybe I was just exaggerating.

I smiled a bit, full of hope.

"Now the second girl!" Tiffany said and slowly took out another paper.

As she opened it I prayed that it wasn't Anna.

Please, not her.

But it wasn't her name...

Still, when Tiffany said it it made my breath hitch and I froze.

No.... It can't be....
