A/N: Hello everyone! Here's chapter 2 of this fanfic and yes, I've already watched Frozen now and I have made some minor changes to the story (as seen in the summary) and instead of being Anna's childhood friend, Kristoff is the son of the ice dealer of District 12 and there is also a slight revision to this fic's version of the scene where Peeta throws bread on Katniss. Anyway, I hope you guys enjoy this and for those who sent in their reviews, thank you so much and I'll definitely keep updating this. :D
"We have a volunteer!" Effie Trinket said in her ever-enthusiastic voice, "Anna Arendalle, the first volunteer of District 12!"
With those words uttered, the peacemakers came closer to Anna, ready to escort her to the stage where her probable fate of never coming back is waiting for her. She could hear the screams of fright from her sister in the background.
"Hans!" Anna called out, "Take care of Elsa while I'm gone alright!"
"I will!" Hans said as he stepped closer to Elsa
"Anna!" Elsa called out, "Anna!" she called out once more
"I'll come back, I'll come back alive. I'll win this for you. I promise." Anna said as the peacemakers started to escort her to the stage.
"Calm down now, Elsa." Hans said as he moved Elsa away from the peacemakers, "Your sister promised that she will come back alive."
This was it. The moment has finally come. In a few moments, she will be standing in that stage and a boy will be picked to be with her to the games and soon, she will bid goodbye to her district and get sent off to the Capitol. All eyes were on her now. Anna Arendalle. The first volunteer tribute of the District of Coal Mining. The next unfortunate victim to the Hunger Games. At this point, she was now unsure whether she should still go on or bail out but if she would, they might take her sister away instead and that is something that she tried to avoid in the first place. She wouldn't want to see her sister cower in fear and get killed before the first day ends at the games because that would be really painful.
She then stepped up to the stage and stood up on the left of the escort as she placed her hand into the bowl that contained the names of the males who would become the second tribute for the district. Anna just hoped that they would pick Hans to go alongside with her, at least when she's already there in the arena facing all the madness, she would be there with someone who she already knows so well and if they were to face their inevitable deaths, at least they would do it together and no one gets left behind between them.
"And for the boys..." Effie said as she opened up the paper, "Kristoff Bjorgman."
Kristoff Bjorgman. Son of the ice dealer in District 12. One of the well-off people in the district living in the merchant section. Anna didn't really know him so well, except for that one incident when District 12 experienced really humid days and the boy gave him some ice after he noticed that she seemed to be withered from the heat.
The peacemakers escorted the ice dealer's son up to the stage and he then stood to Effie's right side. Effie then instructed for them to shake hands which symbolizes their cooperation to represent the 12th District to the annual Hunger Games. Next, Effie instructed them to say something to the crowd but they really had nothing to say, especially Anna, because she doesn't want to waste her time and she'd rather go straight into the games and end this already once and for all.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Anna Arendalle and Kristoff Bjorgman. Tributes of District 12!" Effie announced and with that, Anna made a three-finger salute. A custom in District 12 that was usually done during funerals to honor the dead. The crowd saluted her back, as a sign of their honor over her bravery to volunteer in behalf of her older sister. Right after that, the two were immediately escorted into the Justice building where their loved ones would speak to them for the last time.
