Chapter 1:

Piper

"Please don't go."

Piper looked down, ashamed with herself for acting so weak. She pulled an oversized shirt over her slim body and pulled up some panties.

A handsome Indian boy gave her a sad smile, "you belong here," he whispered to her as he cupped her cheek softly and pressed his rough lips against her soft cheek. "I don't. As a man and a warrior it is my duty to protect you with my life."

Piper fought back tears, "I belong with you," she cried, "and you belong with me. We belong together Ali."

Ali just gave her a small smile. "I'll come back. For you. I promise."

Piper flung herself at him, shaking in tears. "You must survive."

"It's war, Pip. I can't promise you anything. The monsters are growing stronger by the day."

"You're strong, you have to survive. Be a hero. King Zeus is counting on you." Piper forced a smile as she watched the love of her life, Ali Nayan, walk out to war. The war that had been going on for thirty years. The war no one had come back from unscarred.

Once the door closed Piper fell to the bed in tears.

Zoe

"M'lady. They're here."

A beautiful young woman nodded. The girl who spoke stood and motioned for two other young teenagers to open the large wooden doors to the palace.

The beautiful woman stood and waited for the small boy at the entrance of the room to run in.

"Aunt Artemis!" the boy started crying as he ran into the woman's arms. She cradled him close to her heart and nodded her thanks at the guards. He was the last thing she had left of her twin brother Apollo.

The boy's mother stood by the entrance. She looked down, unable to meet Artemis' gaze.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" Artemis asked as she combed through the boy's tangled hair.

"Apollo is safer here with you." she whispered. "Besides, it hurts to look at him. He looks so much like his father." She started sobbing. "He ever got to meet him. He was comatosed before he was born."

"I'm aware. That is why you named him after his father, correct?"

The woman nodded.

Comas in the land of Acaliric were the equivalent to death. But people could no longer die. They would always come back to life even after their heart stops. No one understood why. The population then split into two groups. Silver bloods and Gold bloods. Humans with Silver blood became warriors due to their extra adrenaline and quick healing. Gold blood became royalty. There was a lot less of them for some reason but they could fight so much better than the silver ever could. However they were much more vulnerable. They were all born with a vulnerable spot somewhere on their body and if that place is attacked then it is over for them.

Apollo was hit there and he was now comatosed for the rest of eternity, or at least until a cure is created.

There was always the option to burn his body but no one knew what problems that would cause.

Then there were half bloods, half gold and half silver. These individuals were the strongest and were sent to a special school to go on dangerous quests. But intermixing bloods were hard. They were almost two completely different species.

Artemis sighed as she watched the woman leave. She held Apollo close to her and allowed a few tears to escape her eyes.

"Lady Artemis?" the girl who had spoken first whispered.

"Prepare him a room Zoe."

Zoe nodded and sighed, she left her master alone with the young boy while she went to prepare a room for the only boy allowed in the mansion.

Faintly she heard sobs come from where she just left and sighed. There was nothing she could do.

Nico

A dark blur raced through the forest gracefully avoiding trees. His long legs raced forward as he forced his body to keep moving even though he was past the point of complete exhaustion. The figure collapsed to the muddy floor and bused the remainder of his energy to merge into the trees shadow.

"Nico? Nico, where did you go?"

The figure, a young boy, crouched lower. He did not want to be found.

"Nico please, I'm sorry!"

Nico fought back tears as he watched the boy who broke his heart a hundred times over search for him. He would not forgive him. He could not.

The red headed boy in front of him fell to the ground in tears. "Nico, I did not mean to cheat on you. I swear. I just had to cover us up, I mean, you understand. Right?"

Nico just shook his head, not wanting to listen to his ex anymore. He raced off towards the end of the school grounds so his shadow travelling power would work. Unfortunately the redhead spotted and caught up to him. He grabbed his thin wrist and forced Nico to stop.

Nico whirled around and glared at the boy. "Get off of me Kenny."

"Nico, just hear me out-"

"No!"

SLAP!

Nico fell to the floor in an ungraceful pile. He looked teary eyed up at his ex. Kenny looked horrified with his actions. He kneeled to help Nico up and apologize but Nico just kicked him in the crotch and ran off.

Leo

Leo sighed and looked at his feet as he watched his four best friends on a double date together. He was not even invited. Tears gathered in his eyes as he watched Jason and Reyna laugh at something Frank said. Hazel giggled and kissed Franks cheek.

Leo quickly grabbed his phone and texted Jason: Do you want to hang out right now? What are you doing?

He watched as Jason held up one finger to his friends as he checked his phone. Leo felt his heart break as he saw Jason turn off his phone and say something that caused his tablemates to laugh.

Leo dialed Hazel's number and waited for her to pick up. He watched as she answered the phone.

"Leo? What do you want?"

Her voice wasn't cruel, just annoyed.

"I was wondering what you were doing right now?" Leo tried to keep his voice from shaking.

"Oh, nothing." she replied. "just, umm, studying."

Leo could not handle it anymore. It was not like this was the first time they did this to him. He could not trust them. They lied to him so easily.

The question was why they were lying to him though. He wasn't sure he wanted to figure out why.

He hung up the phone and raced off.

XXX

So, what did you think? Yes, I know I should not be writing another story but the idea came into my mind and I felt the need to do so. It was either this or a Pokemon story about Ash getting upset with all his friends and running away only to meet Jesse and James who turn good and they try to live together as a family.

Anyway, Fate is under A LOT of construction right now because you guys dislike what I did with it and I am not ecstatic about it either. (PM me if you have any ideas).

Bloody Present: I am going to read through the story and then I will update as soon as I get an idea of what I want to do. For now I will write a fluff scene and if I like it I will post it.

Mystical Lovers: I haven't even looked there recently guys, sorry.

Immortal Love: I don't know guys, I like the story but because of all the crossovers I'm afraid I'm the only one who knows everything I'm talking about.

For the record: I'm sure my inspiration for that will come back.

Hidden: I messed up on the last chapter and I really don't know what I'm going to do

Midnight Sky: I like the story but no one is reading it so I don't want to waste my time with it.

Anyway, please review. If you like the chapter, if you did not like it. What you liked, what you did not like. This story will have no main pairings since no one can ever agree on them. It will continuously switch POV and I will try not to add too many OC. Anyway, If you think I should continue this tell me. If not, just
