Jellal's POV

"J-Jellal..." Erza stands at my door with a pillow in her arms. Her eyes are bright red from tears.

"Erza!" I jump up immediately and let her in. She falls into my chest and continues to cry.

"Can I sleep with you? I can't sleep..." I nod my head.

"I-I had a nightmare." She continues to cry on my chest. We sit down on the bed. Erza curls in a ball on the bed and rests her head on my shoulder. She shuts her eyes over and falls asleep.

"Erza wake up." I whisper softly into the sleeping girls ear. She turns around on her side and continues to snore sweetly.

"Erza?" I continue to whisper. Her arms reach up in her sleep and wrap around my neck.

"Go away Kagura." She mumbles with a string of drool going down her chin.

"Erza..." He awkwardly mumbles. Erza eyes flutter open and her face burn red when she realises she is hugging me.

"I'M SO SORRY!" She tries to hide her blushing cheeks with the sheets. She looks so adorable like that. I barely slept last night so i have dark circles under my eyes.

"We have to get ready for the TV show tonight." I sigh. She turns her face away sighs.

"This is our last day in paradise huh..." I feel my breathing slow down as I imagine whats ahead.

"I suppose." I reply.

Erza's POV

"I don't feel like training today..." I sigh as I sit down next to Jellal. He pops a strawberry into his mouth and smiles.

"Me either Scarlet." He chuckles.

"What are those?" My eyes open wide at the fruit in his hand.

"Strawberries." He passes me the box.
"Here try one." I place my hand inside the tub and pull put a big red one. I throw the berry into my mouth and I feel my taste buds explode.

"Your no supposed to eat the green bit..." Jellal laughs. He takes a strawberry in his hand and picks off the stem.

"Open wide." I open my mouth and he shoves it inside. I chew down on the soft piece of fruit.

"My mum used to make strawberry tarts and I used to steal her strawberries." Jellal laughs. My eyes lighten up at the word.

"I think im obsessed..." I put another in my mouth. Jellal stares me in the eye and smiles.

"In the arena we should stick together." Jellal randomly states. I turn my head to him and nod my head.

"We would make a good team." I agree whilst popping more strawberries into my mouth.

"Are you prepared to die?" Jellal asks me the question he did when we first met.

"Yes." I reply. I stand up and walk to the kitchen.

"Want anything to drink?" I lift a glass off of the stand. Jellal shakes his head.

I sit down at the window and sigh with my strawberries in hand. I look down at the cars and people who are rushing around. A huge billboard saying 'will the odds be ever in your favour' advertising the hunger games is being hung up by some builders. I shut my eyes and admire the silence. Before I know it I fall asleep.

"Erza?" Jellal shakes my shoulders and smiles.

"Jellal, Erza!" Our Victor Richard swings open the doors ruining the moment.

"Your stylist is waiting for you." We walk down the halls. Our stylist is a guy called Reedus.

"Erza my dear take a seat over here." He pulls a chair infront of a mirror, I sit down next to Jellal who is at the other side.

Itchiya blow drys my hair so its curled and wavy. He applies some make up to my face and he slips a gold dress on me. Jellal is in a white suit with his hair gelled back. He looks so handsome...

"Erza!"He calls for me. I run with my golden heels and link arms with him.

Each and every person are from each District are queued up in a single file across the wall. You can hear the boy called Sting Eucliffe talking away to the man called Ichiya.

"Well can you tell me about yourself?" He questions. I fiddle about with my hair. When sting and Yukino are finally finished its my turn.

"Well ladies and gentlemen, if you though that was good wait until you see who we have next." Ichiya introduces me onto the stage.

"Erza-" Ichiya pauses. I mouth to him.

"Scarlet."

"Erza Scarlet!" I turn my head to see Jellal smiling.

I sit next to ichiya on a white leather seat.

"So Erza Scarlet tell me about yourself." Ichiya laughs pushing the mic into my face.

"Well i grew up in District two with my mum, sister and a close friend Milianna." My throat croaks when I mention them.

"Well I love you, they love you. Tell me Erza Scarlet have you ever loved anyone." I shake my head.

"Now Erza what are your reasons for wanting to win?"

"I want to see my sister and family again."

"Well, I'm sure Erza if you keep at these thought you will be successful."

"Well ladies and gentlemen men. Erza Scarlet for you" I walk off of the stage and pass Jellal.

"Good luck!" I wish Jellal as I pass.

Jellal's POV

"Well Mr Fernandes how are you tonight?" Ichiya sits forward in his seat. He pushes a mic to my face and awaits my reply.

"Im fine, and you?" I question Itchiya laughs and nods.

"Im fine too."

"Now, now your friend over there didn't have much to say did she. Tell me about yourself." He pushes the mic closer to my face.

"Well I grew up with my family and I attended combat school for a few years before I quit." Ichiya nods his head and laughs.

"Well a dashing boy like you must be loved by the girls. Tell me about your love life." Ichiya raises his eyebrows.

"There isn't much to say." I sheepishly laughs. Ichiyas face falls

"Why would you like to win the games? Is there a girl who's heart you want to win? Ichiya get back into the conversation.

"Well I-" I freeze turning my head to Erza who smiles at me.

"No, Ichiya there isn't a girl who I like at the moment." Ichiya tilts his head and laughs.

"Aw come on we won't tell." The audience laugh at his comment.

"Well-"

"Ah!" He interrupts getting excited.

"There is a girl."

"I knew it!" He interrupts. Getting closer to me.

"Tell us!" He grabs onto my shoulder and smiles his bleach white teeth.

"This girl with the most beautiful hair you've ever seen. Her eyes are big and brown." I turn my head to Erza whos face is flustered. I continue.

"She loves strawberries and she smiles a lot." Ichiyas gets closer.

"We want a name." Ichiya laughs.

"Erza Scarlet." The audience all coo as I say her name.

"Such a pity. Luck surely isn't on your side boy." He laughs then sends me off.

"Right who is next!" Ichiya continues as I hobble off the stage.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS ALL OF THAT ABOUT!" Erza slams me against the wall. He face is bright red and her eyes reflect anger.

"FIRST YOU NAME ME, YOUR NEVER OUT MY FACE, YOUR TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND NOW YOU HUMILIATE ME!" She spits in my face. The other tributes stare at me and Erza from the line. Someone yells.

"Get a room!" Erza snaps her ead around and galres at them.

"I HOPE YOU DIE TOMMOROW!" Erza snaps and runs back to her room.
