"Hurry up Edward, please hurry."

It was a beautiful day in community 58, my best friend Edward and I were heading home, Edward always took his time when getting his stuff for home,

"tomorrow is our schools Chozen, I'm hoping I don't get selected,"

"I'm scared Edward, What if I'm chosen?"

"let's just hope were not selected, anyways bye Ella Bella"

I watch as Edward goes into his home, if I was selected I would die, how would death feel like anyways?

Dinnertime-

"so how was school, and did those Red guards give you a hard time today?"

"school was okay, no Red guards bothered me, Mom..."

"yes my sweet Ella,"

"tomorrow is the Chozen, and I was hoping I could stay home tomorrow?"

"Ella stop your nonsense, I wish it was as easy as that, but the Red Guards will arrest us for refusal of the Chozen, I'm sorry Ella, but please attend the Chozen, for your own safety, and for me,"

I stay quiet for a second before answering,

"I understand mother."

I lay in bed with thoughts of the Chozen, I wondered how I would feel when I was chosen, and what I would do?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Saramony-

It was the day of the Chozen, all the kids and teens from our community were at the Chozen Room, we all stood quietly on the solid floors as we waited for Sir Evenlania to begin the saramony,

"welcome kids of community 58, today 2 lucky kids will be selected to contribute in the Community Games, if your community wins the games, your community will be free, 45 communities have already been free, your community will be facing against 3 communities, community 23, community 8 and community 88, now with out further ado let's see who is are chosen ones,"

Sir Evenlania clicked on his tech book and called out a name,

"Edward Ethans,"

I couldn't believe what my ears had heard, my heart felt like it had been shattered, I looked frantically for a sign of Edward, he was already on the stage, I felt a warm drip of water on my face, tears,
Edward looked scared and had tears on his face as well, I had to do something Edward was going to die if I don't help him out, I volunteered for the second contributor to the Community games.
