You Belong To Me.

The Chosen One.

Anna's P.O.V...

Today was the day of the most dreadful day as every six months we've had to do this. This ritual like thing for the chosen one. Usually who ever is chosen becomes dead after their six months end. No one was known to come back from going inside that castle. Didn't matter who either, they could be male or female. It was kind of like competing in a way. The whole day we would do these exercise like challenges of some sorts and the losers are put into the middle. The winners put to the side to watch one of the losers to be chosen. It was hard and tiring till the end. I was second place and my older brother Mark Fischbock was first. Then it was Matt and so on so forth with others.

" Oh! That's right you don't know me! My name is Annalane May Fischbock and Mark, the once famous YouTuber is my older brother. He's twenty-eight years old and I'm twenty three! Both of our parents were dead so we only had each other. Mom died when the war began and dad died of cancer when we were in highschool. We lived with each other and did so much together as well. He was very protective over me ever since our older brother died taking my place when I was chosen my first time. Ever since then I was scared to be chosen so I pushed myself to become one of the very best. That is until five months ago. I decided to seek answers to find out what happened to him and the only way was to be chosen. I still was a little scared of being chosen so that would have to wait or that's what I thought until now."

Mark was worried and gripped my hand tightly as we saw Amy. Mark's girlfriend walk into the losers group. I kind of felt a little nervous too because me and Amy we're very close friends and she made my brother very happy. I look around and noticed that everyone was almost done. " Now that I think about it, it kind of feels like The Hunger Games." I almost laugh at that thought, but my nervousness was stopping me. Plus it would make me look like an asswhole and that I was making fun of them.

" Ladies and Gentlemen, the chosen one is....." The demon sheriff begins to say, smiling as he reached into the black box of their numbers. " Number 34!" He yelled causing Mark to almost charge at the demon, but I held him back. Amy gasped and began sobbing as two demon walked over to her. They both grab her by the arms as they pulled her over to the demon sheriff. " Well there we have it then! Get her in the carriage guys!" He commands the ones holding her but before they could move a step I yelled.

" I volunteer to take her place!" I yelled causing everyone to look at me in shock. Amy did too with tears still running down her rosy cheeks. The sheriff looks at me and smirks evil with an eyebrow raised. Mark grabs my arms making me face him.

" No, I can't let you do this Anna. Your my sister and I promised to watch over you." He whispers to me as I shook my head no.

" I have to, you need her. You know I can take care of myself Mark. Tom did it for me now, I must do it for y'all. I love you Mark." I hug him tightly, but was instantly pulled away by demons as they threw Amy into Mark's arms. Mark had tears running down his face as a few of his friends held him back from running back to me. I had a few tears run down my face as well.

" Well then, I guess Miss Anna will be going then. Take her guys!" The sheriff yells causing me to smile at Mark as the escort me to the carriage. I sigh in contentment as I smiled at my brother as they took off. I kept staring at him until he was out of site. A demon sitting across from me nudges me gently. I look up at him to see his bright blue hair.

" Hey, that was a brave and nice thing you did back there." He whispered to me so that the other demons knew. " You know, your also very pretty by the way." He tells me smiling an actual nice smile. I smile back and look away.

" Thanks." Was all I said to him after. We make it to our destination, which was the gates of the castle of course. They pull me out harshly almost making me trip on the edge of the door. I glare back at them as they only chuckled. The blue haired demon grabbed my hands gently and tied them together.

" By the way, Deadan." He tells me with that same smile earlier.

" Annalane." I mumble making him nod.

( By they way Deadan is Ethan's alter Ego. I didn't know if he actually had one or not. It is also pronounced Dead-an!)

I began to be escorted into the castle quickly. As I did so, I took in my surroundings and everything. But when I tried to remember the way out of the castle I got confused and gave up on trying to remember all of it. That's when we made it to a huge set of twins doors. That's when I noticed the lack of guards or any other demons inside Dark's castle. The demons who had been with me the whole time, opened the doors and pushed me inside. Closing them right behind me, not entering with me at all. I scoff at them for their harshness and sigh as I looked around the room. It was barely even lit with only light coming from the windows. I look around for anything or anyone, that is until I see a pair of red eyes fifteen or so feet strait across from me in the center back of the room. I slightly part my lips to speak but I don't. Instead I walk bravely and calmly over until a voice commands me to stop walking. So I stopped just as I was told until something quick flew straight at me. But because of my quick reflexes, I dodged it with ease as I slid to the left with ease. Only to see everything become dark. I was still awake and everything just there was no more light. My breathing was very quiet and all I could hear was someone else breathing. " So, this must be king Dark. I think he's either toying with me or testing me." I thought as I closed my eyes and tried to listen for anything suspicious. I heard a gush of wind fly over to me so I dropped to the floor into a role. That is until the light from the windows shine through again and candelabras began to light up with flames on their sticks. I was laying on the floor on my back as well when I felt a sudden weight get on top of me and pin my hands above my head. The room was finally lit  up completely where I could see everything and the certain man on me. No doubt is was king Dark in the flesh. His eyes were no longer red, but completely a almost blackish brown. He smirks as he checked me out from head to toe in a quick minute. It almost made me blush, but I held it back with the help of a glare.

" Your Highness." I grunt causing him to tilt his head with his smirk widening.
