Jack*
We all got accepted. 
A house was given to us with 2 stories. 
Four rooms and 2 bathrooms.  One kitchen one living room. 
As soon as we stepped in the house we picked our rooms.  They were amazing. 
They were all to our  taste.  
My room was a Navy Blue.  It had large windows that let the sun pour in my room.  I had a desk in one end of the room with candles for night writing.  I had a large Queen size bed and a small closet on one side of the walls. 
The floor had a tan colored carpet.  I had a long body mirror attached to another wall. 
Merida's bedroom was slightly bigger than mine.  Her room was a teal color. Her roof was white and she had a huge window like mine.  Except she had long black curtains in her room to keep the sun out at times. Her bed was queen sized and had a dark teal,  gold and black comforters.  She had a small closet.  She spent little time in her room because she always liked to go outside even during the winter time. 
Hiccup's room was a dark green.  He also had black curtains but he kept them open most of the time.  He had a wooden desk and got lucky enough to get a bookshelf filled with books.  Toothless slept with him. 
The fourth room would've been Rapunzel's..  If she was still here. 
It was lavender.  The roof was white and it had hard wood tiled floors.  Golden curtains loosely hung around the window.  The bed was also queen size. And had a small white  table beside it with a black vase and dead withered  roses. 
....

The camp was amazing and comfortable.  The last few days of fall, I  was in and out of town scavenging what ever I could find before the snow started falling. 
Meri, Hic and I became very well known in town.  Jessie and Merida became close and Buz and Hiccup became close.  I tried distancing myself from everyone.
Many girls began to notice me and Hiccup and men began to notice Merida,  but none of us were really interested in any of them.  Especially me.  I was still mourning Rapunzel's death. 
Every night all I would do is think about how I wasn't there to  keep her safe.
Only God knew how much I missed her.  I knew Hiccup and Merida missed her too.  She would've loved this place if she were here. 
.....  
With Winter my depression became stronger. 
I wouldn't get out of bed. 
I didn't eat.
I didn't talk. 
I felt empty and alone.  I became paler than I already was. 
The days I would get up was just to get a snack or to close the door when Hiccup or Merida would check on me. 
Many times  Merida and Hiccup would come in my room and tell me about things that the opposing survival camp did. They'd say things like. 
" They have a leader and he doesn't feed the people in the town"
Or
" He doesn't let the townspeople go. "
Or
" They get sun tattoos on their wrist".
I remember when I went scavenging for this group in the fall I was told that if there was a person outside of the town that I didn't know,  check their wrist.  If they have a sun tattoo shoot on sight. 
I don't know what the problem was with this group but they seemed pretty bad. 
Apparently there were rumors that we were going to "war"with them soon. 
Did I believe it? 
No. 
What I did believe was that Woody wanted to capture what he called high status men from that camp. His plan was to capture them and try to get answers out of them and then make a trade since the opposing side had killed or captured many of our people. 
All this was madness but I tried to stay out of all this mess as best as I could. 
....
Rapunzel**
I got ready for dinner with " Our Grand Leader".  I was ordered by Flynn to wash off and dress in something pretty. 
At first I couldn't believe that this place had running water and electricity but then all I felt was anger knowing there were people outside of this "high status" That hadn't had showers or food for weeks. 
I decided to wear a simple pair of blue jeans and a plain white  t- shirt and white  Tom's. I wasn't trying to impress anyone.  I walked over to the dining room while looking at my wrist.  As soon as I got there eyes met mine.  There were only a few people sitting at the table including Flynn and Hans.

" Sit" Hans said while motioning to a seat. 
I obeyed and sat down across from Flynn.  We made eye contact then he looked at Hans and looked down. 
I began to look around the dining room.  It was a burgundy color.  The dining table was polished and looked fancy with candles.  A chandelier hung from the ceiling and huge windows we're over to my right where I was able to see all poor houses.  This looked like a palace compared to the other houses.
Hans cleared his throat causing me to shift my attention to him. 
" You know- Rapunzel you still have to prove your worth, " He said while taking a sip of what I assumed was wine.  
I looked over at Flynn then looked down at my lap.
" I killed three walkers before you and your guards stepped out the town gates."
Silenced filled the air. 
I looked up at Hans he smiled at me nodding.  Then snapped his fingers. 
Seconds later men appeared carrying all types of trays and before I knew it the table was filled with delious looking food. 
I was sure I looked completely shocked at the amount of food in front of me. 
Hans let out a chuckle.  I looked up at him.
If he ate like this every single day he had enough to feel everyone outside in the poor houses. 
"Enjoy, " He said slowly and began to pile food on his plate. 
I glanced at Flynn he looked at the food with a guilty look on his face. 
Anger boiled inside of me.  I couldn't believe how selfish Hans was.  There were dozens of people starving.  He had all the food and claimed it for himself and didnt let the people leave to get their own food then he made them work none stop?  This was ridiculous
I stared daggers at him. 
I promise Hans..  I'm going to kill you.
