Hi guys! This is my first crossover, and I hope you like it! So without further ado, here's the story! And giving a heads up to Aprilicity, who helped me come up with this idea! Or at least inspired me to write this... TIME FOR YOU TO READ! And they're all demigods, but they're living in Panem. That's all.
I wake up to the screeching of my sister, Nyssa.
"Leo! Hurry up! The reaping's going to happen soon, and I prefer you to be alive. And wake up Charlie while you're at it!"
I groan as I get up, hating this moment. Even though the Capitol pampers us, I hate the Hunger Games. Living in District 2, it's an easy life. But then again, it's hard being an orphan...
"LEO!"
"I'm coming Nyssa! Should I wake Jake too?"
" I told you to wake up everyone! Do you want them all to die? And tell Shane he has to return my dagger!"
I go up to their rooms, and pour water onto them, and run before they can kill me. Soon, I have all my step-brothers chasing me, and Shane's bringing out Nyssa's dagger, trying to cut me. I run towards Nyssa, and hide behind her.
"Nyssa, Harley, Shane, Christopher, Jake and Charlie are trying to kill me!"
"Boys? Is that true?"
Nyssa's our motherly sister, which can be very annoying. But it has it's moments.
"Yes..." They say meekly.
"Well, I expected better. And Shane, you'd better not be threatening Leo with my dagger."
He quickly puts it on the counter, and I stick my tongue out at them. They scramble after me, but Nyssa protects me.
"Now, calm down, and get ready. The Reaping will happen soon."
After that, we get ready, but my step-brothers give me death glares. But I live with those, so it's all good.
"Welcome everybody, to the 97th Hunger Games!" (A/N: What happened at the 75th Hunger Games never happened. Let's say Peeta died, but Katniss is still alive, and still a mentor.)
I stand in our line, and I'm really nervous.
"Well, ladies first!"
The freakish lady, Ellia Kinnet walks up to the bowl, and picks out a name.
"Celestine Peterson."
I give a breath of relief. It wasn't Nyssa. Ellia walks up to the other bowl, and picks out a name for the boys.
"Charles Beckendorf."
My heart nearly stops. My next move is involuntary, and I almost regret it after I say it. Almost.
"I volunteer as tribute."
She turns to me, and I walk up to the stage. There's a commotion, and I turn back. Nyssa's trying to come to me, trying to take me back home. I try not to cry, but I fail miserably. Tears are streaming my face, but I quickly pull myself together. I wipe my tears away, and walk onto the stage.
"Well, it looks like we have a volunteer. And your name is...?"
"Leo. Leo Valdez."
"Well, Leo Valdez and Celestine Peterson are the tributes for this years Hunger Games!"
She starts to clap, but no one else claps. Instead, they whistle a low key note, signaling the shift is over to make weapons. My mind goes clear, and the Peacekeepers take us inside. I'm separated from the girl (Celestine?) and soon my family barges in.
"Leo, what the hell were you thinking?" Harley demands.
"Well, I was hoping that Charlie could live longer, since he doesn't deserve to die!" They all go silent, except for Nyssa, naturally. She comes up to me, and gives me a huge bear hug.
"Leo, you have to win. No exceptions. Without you, our family is incomplete. We'd fall apart without you." She whispers. I smile back at her.
"Don't worry Nyssa. If I don't come back, promise me you'll be okay." She nods, wiping her tears away. I turn to everyone.
"Now, I have jobs for you guys, since I'm going to be leaving. Nyssa, you're going to have to act as their mother. Not a sister." She nods, and I turn to Charlie.
"Charlie, you go get that job you wanted. Do the best to your ability. Help out Nyssa." He looks at the ground, more tears coming. I turn to Jake.
"Jake, you have to do well in school. Make me proud." His eyes give a small glint in them, which is enough for me. I turn to Christopher.
"Chris, keep doing pranks. Now, I give you permission to use my secret book, if you can get past my prototype of Festus, and then get the code right." His eyes light up, and then I turn to Harley.
"Harley, I want you to keep everyone smiling. This is the most important job, and I KNOW you can do this." He smiles, and I say "That's the spirit. Now, give your old bud a hug."
They rush over, and attempt to lovingly kill me.
"Oh my gods...watch where you put that thing...ACK! Guys, this is a huge, not a death circle!"
Two Peacekeepers enter, and now never want this moment to end. My family leaves, and I go inside the train. Once I enter, I think of one sentence Nyssa told me.
"We'd fall apart without you."
So how was that? Good? Bad? Meh? Review please! If you want to be mean, go ahead! If you didn't like it, give me advice to make this better! I'll try to update ASAP. Until we meet again!
