A/N: This is the start to a Hunger Games series I am doing with Soy Luna characters (Matteo, Ambar, Gaston, Nina, Simon and Luna. I hope you guys enjoy this!!


"You sure this is going to work?" Nina asked, keeping her bow up and ready circling around Gastón, who was setting up a bomb. "It has to, or else we're going to die." Gastón muttered, not even looking at Nina.

In this distance Nina could hear other competitors reaching towards them. "Gastón they're coming hurry up." she hissed hiding behind a tree, bow at the ready.

"Did you see those losers from district 7, they were so scared." Matteo laughed carrying his sword in one hand. "Please don't kill me, please don't kill me, I'll do anything please." Ámbar mocked, dying with laughter.

Matteo suddenly stopped in his tracks noticing movement in the distance. "What are you scared of? It's just the district 5 tributes, they're just a bunch of nerds." Ámbar said, pulling out a knife and twirling it around her hand.

Nina gulped as she heard Ámbar's voice in the near distance, "Gastón, it's now or never, trigger the bomb." "I'm almost done, this takes extreme focus okay?" Gastón groaned as he adjusted the last wire on the bomb. Nina felt a droplet of water fall on her nose, panic arising in her, "This bomb isn't going to make it, it's raining.". "What? No it's not." Gastón said, not even looking up at the sky. It was then that he felt a drop of rain on his arm. "Shit, this bomb is going to blow."

Sparks started releasing from the bomb as Ámbar and Matteo started reaching closer and closer to district 5's base. "Aww. don't be scared of us, district 5. You probably don't even know how to run after being so clever with your bombs." Ámbar laughed as she threw a knife at Nina.Gastón and Nina turned and looked at each other as they exchanged a look of panic, they knew about the bombs.

Nina dangerously dodged the knife as she felt a trickle of blood flow down her cheek. "Come out to play with us, we wanna see you guys fight." Matteo said, smirking as he wielded his sword. "Gastón, how far can you throw?" Nina asked, bow at the ready and aimed at Ámbar. "50 feet and the bomb's range is 50 feet," Gastón said, catching on to her idea.

"Aww, you think you can outsmart us can you?" Matteo laughed as he started sprinting towards them, sword in hand. They grabbed their backpacks filled with items they raided from the districts they killed as Nina said, "Throw it and don't look back." Gastón grinned at her, "At your request, your highness."

He threw the bomb towards Matteo and Ámbar as they sprinted for their lives dodging the knives being thrown towards them. Gastón cursed as one of the knives scraped his leg. "We can fix up later, let's go." Nina said, stopping as she looked back and saw the bomb had not exploded yet. "Shit, the bomb hasn't exploded yet has it?" Gastón said, pulling both of them behind a big tree. Nina nodded, terrified as she heard Matteo drop his sword to the ground.

"What are you doing Matteo? We almost had them done for good." Ámbar said, slapping him. "No, something's up. Why would they throw a bomb at us that doesn't work?" Matteo asked, picking it up. "Put that thing down you idiot," Ámbar said. "It's a bomb, maybe they threw it to scare us and make us go the other way." "Maybe," Matteo said as he slashed the bomb in half. "We can't take any risks."

Gastón whispered to Nina, "It's a bomb made by the capitol, it'll blow either way." A loud explosion was heard in the background as Gastón and Nina sighed in relief, "We got them." Nina said relieved as both of them pulled each other close. They knew that both of them would not make it alive. However it was almost like destiny had put them into this game together. Nina sniffled a bit as she realized they had killed someone. They had killed almost 7 people but every time they could not get used to seeing a person lying lifelessly on the ground. It wasn't like them to kill people. However both of them had to win this, for their families and their district. But both of them were not going to make it alive, Nina was certain of it.

Nina was almost punched to death at the hands of tribute from district 2 before Gastón shot him in the head with a gun. Nina screamed as the boy fell on top of her, blood pouring from his head. As Gastón helped her up, she grabbed him tightly and sobbed into his arms. Death wasn't an option for Nina. She didn't want to do this but she had. "Shhh, he's dead now. It's ok, you're ok Nina. We're going to win this alright?" Gastón said, comforting her. Nina couldn't control herself as she started bawling and shaking in pain. It hurt, everywhere.

The cannon blew, signaling Matteo's death. Ámbar coughed as she got up in extreme pain. Matteo was dead. He had held the bomb and there was no way he would've made it out alive. Ámbar didn't know how to feel, she loved Matteo but not in a way that she thought she did. They had only been together for publicity and sponsors. She didn't love Matteo but she felt a huge weight being placed on her shoulders. Tears started to pour from her eyes. Matteo was gone, gone for good. There was no going back. She had to win this, she had to do it for Matteo. This was her one chance to win this for Matteo and she wasn't going to let anything get in her way. But she couldn't do this alone. She needed someone to exploit, someone to get her closer to those district 5 traitors. Every step Ámbar made needed to be sharp, accurate, precise and clever. One small step off course could lead to her death. And most importantly, she needed to express no form of emotion. Not a single person in this arena will ever get to know the real Ámbar Smith.

"Run!" Simón screamed as he and Luna were chased by the district 2 tributes. "Come out to play lover boy," the boy sneered at Simón. Luna sprinted like the wind, she did not want her time to end like this. She had to be victorious, or at least find a way out of here. She had to do this for her family. Luna tripped over a tree root as she got hit by a rock thrown by the district 2 girl. Luna felt the blood pouring out her leg as the rock stabbed her lower leg. She winced feeling the pain penetrating her body. Simón turned around as he threw the dagger right at the district 2 boy. The dagger hit the boy's chest like a bullet. He collapsed to the ground, the color running out of his face. The other girl gasped as she grabbed the boy, "C'mon, get up, we have to do this Javi." He laid on the ground lifelessly as the other girl, Lucia sobbed.

The cannon ringed through the arena signaling the boy's death. Luna gasped for air as she got up in tremendous pain. She pulled out her crossbow as tears streamed from her eyes. "I'm so sorry but I have to do this." Luna said, choking on her words looking at Lucia. Lucia's eyes dropped and she tried to get up but she couldn't, the pain of Javi's death taking over her whole body. Luna pulled the drawstring of the bow and released the arrow. The girl gasped as the arrow flew through the air and into her heart "No.." she quietly gasped. Luna bawled as she saw the blood pour out Lucia's body. Luna dropped to the ground, letting everything out. She couldn't do this, she didn't want to kill innocent people. After all, the tributes were humans, they had parents, a family. Luna thought she was murder. Simón pulled her into a hug. "Shhh...it's ok, this is going to be over soon enough," Luna bawled even harder. "I can't do this Simón, we're murderers." 

Luna hated the capitol. She thought all of this was to toture people for the capitol's pleasure. The name for the girl tribute was drawn as Luna's breath hitched. "Luna Valente.". No, no this couldn't happen. She had a family, she had a life. "No, No, I'm not doing this!" Luna yelled as she resisted the peacekeepers grabbing her. She couldn't do this, she wouldn't. "Let me go!" Luna said sobbing, "Please, I can't do this." Luna punched the peacekeepers trying to get out of their reach but she couldn't. The peacekeeper tased her as she screamed in pain. Her whole body hurt but this was her life, this was her destiny, to go into the games and break the games. But this time, for good. She was going to do this for the hundreds of kids who died in the games, all of them would be avenged at the hands of Luna Valente.
