Author: I know I shouldn't be starting another story when I'm not even near finishing my other one, but I just had to get this out of my head because its blocking the juices for the other one. Please forgive me. And yes, this is a mashup of Frozen and Battle Royale but I'll try to add some new elements. Disclaimer: Frozen does not belong to me.
In year of 2030, the oils of Norway had dried up and the country was slowly going bankrupt. Their debt to Denmark and Sweden was far more than they ever could have imagined and the other Scandinavian countries were starting to get impatient. Due to that fact, Norway was having a hard time providing for its people, children were wearing worn hand-me-downs, jobs were hard to find and very low in pay. Mothers and fathers have to placate starving children with water and hard bread. Things were rapidly deteriorating. So in order to feed its many citizens, Norway started up a program to cut down its citizens to try providing for the others. That program was called 'Darwin'
'Darwin', put plainly consisted of students killing students for their own life. Survival of the fittest. The last student standing will be allowed to go home and live a peaceful life, their reward would be slightly higher rations than the others but every crumb was much appreciated. How the government select classes is completely by chance in a nation wide lottery on New Years called, The Lottery. The winning classes would be transported to an abandoned school in an enclosed compound on the Tjuvfjorden. There the students are monitored and filmed for the rest of their families and the nation to follow.
Our story begins in the small town of Arendelle where the lives of two sisters would be turned inside out. It was a surprisingly sunny day for the quaint little town since it was the middle of winter and the weather then is usually dreary. The younger of the two sisters, Anna, was a spirited young woman at the age of 17 with long twin braided her the colour of autumn leaves and the odd platinum blonde streak. Her eyes were of the brightest aquamarine you have ever seen with the slender body of fencer. The older sister, Elsa, at the age of 18 was more reserved and composed than her sister and has fine platinum blonde hair that was braided over her left shoulder; her eyes were like the clearest sapphire that was ever mined. While she did not partake in a sport like her sister, she still had the elegant grace of a dancer with a physique to match.
"Anna." A rhythmic knocking could be heard through the door. "Anna, are you awake?" Elsa heard loud rustling followed by a dull thud before she heard Anna reply. "Huh? What? Yeah I'm awake, been awake for hours." Elsa giggled when she heard the telltale sign of her sister's snore through the wood and knocked again. "Wha-? Who is it?" Elsa shook her head affectionately. "It is still I Anna. You should be getting ready." And with that Elsa opened the door and stepped into her sister's room. The sight of Anna jumbled up with her blanket on the floor, supporting a nasty and absolutely adorable case of bed head staring sleepily up at her made her laugh. "I should be getting ready for what?" Anna blinked away the effects of The Sandman and smiled blearily up at Elsa. "It is the first day of school, have you forgotten?" Elsa quirked an eyebrow at Anna and looked over at the outfit the younger girl had laid out the previous night.
"Yes, the first day of… School." Anna was through mid yawn when her eyes snapped open in excitement. "It's the first day of school!" She jumped up and nearly tripped over her messy blanket in her frenzy, Elsa immediately reached over to catch her but Anna caught her footing in the last second. "Careful now, Princess." Elsa scolded affectionately as she watched Anna buzz around the room. "You know, one day it is going to be looking after you and not the other way around." Anna glanced pointedly over her shoulder while shimmying out of her night shorts. Elsa quickly averted her eyes with a light blush on her face. Look away Elsa, look away. "We shouldn't let all those years of fencing go to waste." Anna commented lightly as she yanked on her well-worn jeans. "You shouldn't talk like that Anna, violence doesn't get anyone anywhere." Elsa frowned and turned to look at Anna. Big mistake. There was her not so little sister in nothing but her bra. Sweet Odin help me. Flames erupted over Elsa's cheeks and she stumbled away from Anna.
"Elsa! Your nose!" Her hand flew up to her nose and she felt something warm and wet. Her fingers came away covered in blood. Anna rushed over to Elsa and held her face in her hands, pulling her closer. "Tilt your head back." She instructed gently. Elsa gave an unladylike snort sending small droplets of blood everywhere. "If you want me to drown myself I will." Anna yelped and ducked the flying red projectiles. Reaching over her desk, she handed Elsa a handkerchief. "That will have to for now." Anna smiled and pulled on her shirt not knowing the inner turmoil going on within her sister. Doofus, now you made Anna all worried. Conceal, don't feel. Elsa had to bite back a whine when the shirt covered Anna's lithe body.
Taking Elsa's hand, Anna dragged her out into the kitchen. "Morning Ma, Pa." Anna greeted cheerily before sitting down on a mismatched chair by the table. Kirsten and Aksel greeted their daughters merrily. "Excited for school today ladies?" Aksel asked. Anna nodded vigorously while Elsa smiled politely. Their mother came over and gave them each a bowl of potato soup. "There, eat up girls. And then off you go, wouldn't want to be late on your first day." The girls ate their meagre portions and sped out the door waving and shouting goodbye to their parents.
Laughing, Anna threaded their fingers together and pulled Elsa along with her. "Anna!" Elsa gasped. "Slow down, we will both fall like this." Anna just continued hauling Elsa. "Come on, at this rate we will never be able to catch up to Kristoff." At the mention of the burly blond, the little green monster residing within her reared its ugly head. Down girl "Knowing him, he will most likely be late." Anna giggled. "That does sound like him." The rest of the journey towards their rundown was enjoyed in comfortable silence. Upon arriving, they made parted ways to their own classrooms but not before agreeing that they would meet at their usual place under the oak tree.
"Yoo-hoo, your attention ja, this is your headmaster Oaken. I would like all the students to assemble in the gym hall, ja." The scrapping of chairs against wood could be heard all around as the entire student population filed into the small gym. Students chatted excited to each other, nobody really knowing why they were all called there at once. Anna stood on tiptoe trying to spot any of her friends or her sister in the crowd. "Anna, over here." A girl with short brown hair waved frantically to get her attention. Grinning, Anna pushed her way through the crowd to her. "Hey Punzie, have you seen the others? I got separated from them on our way here." Rapunzel shook her head and was about to reply when a beefy arm was slung around Anna's shoulder. "Hey, how is my favourite girl doing today? The crowd hasn't swallowed you up yet?" The arm pulled Anna into a one armed bear hug. Disgruntled, Anna tried to free herself but her attempts were in vain. "Kristoff you great big oaf, let go of me or else!" A booming laugh erupted from the mountain of a boy. "Or else what?" Kristoff teased. "Or else me." Came an icy reply from behind Kristoff. Turning around, Kristoff let out an undignified squeak and jumped away from Anna as if she had somehow burned him.
Elsa narrowed her eyes at Kristoff, a tall lanky boy with floppy mouse brown hair and matching eyes put a hand on Elsa's shoulder. "I won't hurt him Sven, unless he hurts Anna." The lanky boy smiled pleasantly and waved at everybody there. Anna giggled at Kristoff and skipped over to Elsa, linking their arms together. "Hey Sven, have you seen the others maybe?" Sven nodded and jerked a thumb over his shoulder. There behind him was a small entourage of teenagers that were making their way over to the little group.
In the lead was a boisterous girl mop of curly red hair and a thick Scottish accent, Merida Walking next to her was short, slightly chubby boy with light blonde hair and baby blue eyes. He was the baby of the group, Olaf. Behind Olaf was a meek, skinny boy with freckles and brown hair, Hiccup. Beside Hiccup was the so-called 'playboy' of the group Eugene, who likes to call himself Flynn because he thinks its cool.
The friends greeted each other warmly, some rowdier and rougher than others. Mostly the boys but, warm none the less. "Right there, so does anyone know why we are all called here?" Merida asked and everybody shook his or her head. Olaf was about to speak up when a voice could be heard clearing their throat from up on the small stage. "Yoo-hoo, hello everybody. I have called this impromptu assembly because I have just received a letter from the government." Oaken's heavily accented voice could be heard over hushed mutterings and mumblings. "It seems that due to financial reasons, The Lottery will be held earlier now instead of New Years. And this school has won The Lottery."
All hell broke loose. Students hollered out protests and profanities, some even threatened Oaken, who could only look on sadly and helplessly at his students. Merida and Kristoff had no qualms with shouting what they thought about the news while the others could only stare at each other in horror. "Elsa…" Anna whimpered softly and Elsa quickly enveloped Anna in a secure hug. "It's alright Anna, I've got you." Oaken cleared his throat a couple of times before talking over the shouting. "I will now call out the classes, if you class has been called out then stay behind. The rest of you shall proceed back to class." He lumbered over to a nearby table and picked two random envelopes. The entire school held their breaths as Oaken opened them.
"The classes that will be competing are; 2G and 3G." A great big 'whoosh' escaped the lungs of the students. "No, it can't be." Whispered Elsa and her grip on Anna tightened. Horror and disbelief was etched onto the faces of the people in their little group. "Elsa… Those classes… That is mine and yours." Anna looked up at Elsa with unshed tears. And for the first time in her life, Elsa did not know what to say.
