I sit next to my friend Erika in the stadium where the 2 towns meet for gatherings every 10 years. Survival Games is a traditional thing where the towns take 4 kids of each town 2 girls and 2 boys from both. They compete to survive in the woods that lead to the forbidden outside they call it the forgotten forest where creature's we have never seen survive and humans do not survive. As we all sit down, 2 leaders arrive up on the stage with the main leader who always visits both towns to check on the leaders and laws that are set. He waits for the crowd to stop clapping and then speaks into the microphone
"The first names to be called are from the Aurameleus town: Archer Williams and Astra Williams" theirs a round of clapping on our side as the first names on our side get called and the chosen two arrive on stage.
He continues "From Sereniteus the first of there chosen are Fiona Corderland and Jacob Miles" I notice the boy from the fence walk to the stage
"The second pair from Sereniteus are Max Andrews and Samantha Dillons" then he gets to our last names
"From Aurameleus: Marie Aura Lynn and Dimitri Vegas Jacobs" My father immediately jumps from his seat and denies my entry.
"You can't do this!" he is held back by guards
The leader turns to him "Her name was called and it's to the public so you have no say in it"
Guards grab me by my arm but Dimitri pushes the guard to the side and connects my arm with his.
"Calm down and let me talk" he whispered in my ear
We made it to the stage and we stood next to Archer and Astra.
"These candidates shall be our players in This Years Survival Games! We wish you the best of luck!" he waved to the crowd while we were all escorted to a stage on the side with an airplane outside. I turn and see dad trying to get passed the guards but they hold him back. We enter the plane and I don't see my dad anymore. A lady takes us each to a room with a bed and a bathroom. My room has a window that the others don't have so I get to see out the window.
As I fall on my bed I hear a knock on the door
"It's open!"
Astra comes in and smiles "It was a nice call that they had you come since your the only one trained to fight besides mr hottie" she fans herself
"Who is Mr hottie?" I arch my eyebrows
She gapes at me "Mr Hottie is Mr Vegas how do you not know him"
"I don't know him, I live with him and fight with him" I fold my sweater
"No way!" her eyes bulge and I laugh
"Why is he so important and hot to you anyway are you trying to sleep with him?" I ask
She looks away "He's not taken and he's free so who am I kidding he can sleep with me if he needs it"
After she leaves there is another knock on my door and Dimitri comes in and locks it behind him.
"Are you doing ok?" he sits against the wall
"Yes why wouldn't I be doing ok?" I smirk
He shrugs "I just assumed that you were upset that I got picked after that dumb note I left for you and I am very sorry about that" he looks down at his feet like he's guilty
"Do you like me at all, Marie?" he asks when he looks back up at me
"Well I like you but you can't date a mentor right?" I blush
I notice the way he walks to me is slow and deliberate
and he leans close to me "If you want that again I can give it to you"
I shiver as his hand trails down my neck and stops at my shoulder
"We can't but I'll think about it as we get ready for the survival games" I say
He smiles "Tell me"
I flinch and hear a knock on the door and a male voice "Can I come in, I wanted to meet you, miss"
I step around Dimitri and open the door to find the boy from earlier and I smile "Hi, Jacob"
He smiles as Dimitri glares at me and leaves the room without a backwards glance.
"You can sit on my bed" I say
He smiles "I heard that your good at fighting in the ring and killing people"
I shake my head "No I don't. Killing people is very bad to me and it's unnecessary"
"I kind of think your pretty" he turns red
I smiles warmly at him "I get that alot but thanks for the compliment"
He smiles again "Nice meeting with you"
After Jacob leaves Dimitri comes back inside "You need me" he smirks
I back to the bed and he grins and walks closer "I have watched you grow up, Maria"
I blush "That means you can't love me, Master Vegas"
He groans "Say that again"
"Master Vegas"
He tilts my chin up "I love you"
"I don't know Dimitri....." I shake my head and his hand falls
He frowns "Say that you love me back"
"I love you, Master"
He groans again "I want to hurt you"
I step back "What?"
"I want to make you call me Master again" he smirks
I lay down on my bed as he stalks closer and lays over my body.
"I never thought I would fall in love with my student"
I try to sit up since it's not feeling good but he tells me I'm beautiful.
"Can I make love to you?" he asks
I gasp "We can't"
He smiles and leans down to kiss me
