The Games (Jelsa/Big8)

Chapter 5

Jack Pov

I stopped breathing.

No, no... This can't be!

I tried to move but it was like I was frozen in place.

Not Emma, this can't be happening!

I finally moved and ran towards Emma. Soon, nightmares came and pulled me back.

"No! Don't take her! I volunteer! I volunteer as tribute!" I yelled and tried to push the nightmares off.

"Let him go gentlemen." Tiffany said smiling.

The nightmares hesitantly backed off. I walked over to Emma and hugged her.

I then broke the hug and started walking to the stage.

"No Jack! You can't go! I'll go! You can't do this!"Emma yelled angrily the tears streaming down her face.

I can't let anything happen to her...

"I'm sorry.." I said while the nightmares took me to the stage.

"We have our male tribute! Wow, a volunteer! It's very rare... " Tiffany said sounding amused.

I didn't show any expression.

I can't believe what I just did...

I'm a tribute...

I'm going to the games...

"Wait,I'm afraid the girl is still a tribute." Tiffany said like it was a misunderstanding.

I whipped my head towards her direction shocked.

"What do you mean!? I volunteered! I'll go instead of her!" I yelled angrily trying to not jump at her.

"No need to yell young man. But, you can only volunteer for another male or for an available spot. You are a tribute but your sister is too, unless a girl volunteers for her." Tiffany said with that smile she always wears.

It made me sick...

This is sick...

"No! This can't be! she won't go!" I yelled angrily and saw Emma walking towards the stage followed by nightmares.

She was still crying.

When she was close enough she tried to smile at me.

"It's okay bro, I'll be fine..." She whispered.

I felt a tear run down my cheek but I quickly wiped it.

This can't be happening... It's her first reaping...

I felt my whole world start crumbling down.

Is this real? Or is this a nightmare?

It's real...

I felt another tear cone out my eyes when a clear angelic voice yelled.

"I volunteer! I volunteer for Emma Frost!"

I turned around shocked.

I knew that voice...

I saw a platinum blonde girl walk towards the stage determination clear in her eyes.

Elsa...

I saw a strawberry blonde trying to come to the stage running but she was stopped by a blonde guy her age. Her cheeks were tear stained and she yelled to Elsa.

I looked at Elsa again, she had a determined look in her eyes.

She... She volunteered for my sister? Even when she only knew her for a few minutes, even if I've only known her for like 2 days..

After I saved her from the fall of the tree I saw her and felt like I knew her... Like from years ago but my memory is very blurry.

I had an accident years ago. My mom says Emma and I went skating. The ice was too thin and we didn't noticed until Emma was above a huge crack.

Emma told me that I grabbed a tree branch and pulled her out. But I ended up in her spot. Resulting in me falling in the lake.

After the accident I couldn't remember anything. I couldn't even recognize my family. They say that I had brown hair and brown eyes but after the accident my hair turned white and my eyes turned blue.

It was really strange but my mom told me what really happened to me...

When I fell into the ice cold water my body activated an old gene in my system. My family a long time ago had ice powers, so my mom thinks the extreme cold activated them and made my hair turn white and my eyes blue.

Ever since then I've learned to control my powers with my parents help. I'm sometimes with my staff because it helps me control them. It is somehow connected to my powers when I fell into the water with it.

I turned back to Elsa, her face was serious, determined, without emotion...

And something weird happened but I swear I felt the temperature Lower.

The nightmares grabbed Emma and took her where the people where. She was crying uncontrollably.

I turned to Elsa once more.

She sacrificed herself for my sister.....

And

I'm going to the games.,..,,
