A Cinderella story.

Once upon a time, a very long time ago there was a beautiful Kingdom where a young boy lived with his older sister and father.

Okay it wasn't that long ago. And it was not in a faraway Kingdom. It was good old New York, and the only reason it looked far away is because of all the smog from the car fumes. But to me and my sister Bianca, New York was our kingdom.

Bianca and I had lots of fun growing up even though we didn't have a mother. Well ok that's not entirely true we had a mother our parents just weren't married.

Our dad owned this really cool little diner in New York. And we love hanging out there when we weren't in school or doing other stuff.

At Elysium everybody felt like family. I would say this story probably started at Bianca's and mine eighth birthday party which like every year our dad held at the diner.

"Make A Wish you too." Reyna said; Bianca glance at me and I smiled back. what did we need a wish for? Our lives were perfect.

Hades Di'Angelo stood back to snap a picture of his two angels blowing out the candles on their cakes, right as he was about to snap the photo he was ran into buy a nother body.

Even though Hades had children with Maria, who whats his best friend ever since he could remember. His leanings were more towards the male variety but he so badly wanted children. So Maria being the best friend she is said that she would be more than willing to be a surrogate mother so Hades could have his dream of finally having a family.

And indeed Maria was there at her children's birthday when she witnessed one of the incidents that would change everything.

Hades quickly cot the other body before they could fall. Times load for Hades as he gazed into the bluest eyes he ever seen.

A year and a half later Bianca's and my life changed again.

My dad ended up marrying the fella, Octavian who had ran into him at our birthday party. Octavian and along with him came his own twin sons Otis and Ephialtes.

And then shortly after that my mother got really sick. And it wasn't a slow sickness either when it came it came fast. One day she had a slight cough and a fever two days later she was in the intensive care unit at the Apollo Hospital.

Bianca and her brother Nico worst seated on either side of their father in the hospital waiting room.

"Is The Di'Angelo family here?" a doctor with blonde hair called.

"Yes, that's us." Hades said standing to meet the doctor.

Nico and Bianca could not hear what the doctor was telling their dad. But the 9 nearly 10 year olds new that something was going on.

My mom died 2 days later from what I later learned was a very very bad case of pneumonia.

After that moment my sister and mine lives we're definitely no fairytale.
-

When we were 11 a earthquake hit New York and callds very much damage. But the worst damage yet was that it took our Father from us leaving us with are stepdad and step brothers.

My father didn't leave a will so my stepfather received everything. The house, the diner, His Firebird. And to his dismay... US.

It was that me, Otis and Ephialtes Were to share a room and Bianca got her own. But once our Father died, our stepdad moved the two of us to the attic while both of his boys commandeered our bedrooms.

And then yet again tragedy struck once more. Because when I was 13 my sister Bianca had gone out hunting with some friends and Otis. And there happen to be a landslide where they were hunting and my sister didn't make it while two of her friends were injured.

That day I lost my best friend and the only fairy tales I believed in after that were the ones I read in books.

4 years later

Nico, Nico... Yoo hoo. NICO!"

A black haired boy jerked awake and groan as he nearly fell out of his computer chair.

"It's breakfast time. So bring me my breakfast. You lazy boy."

Nico yawned. And noticed that His Messenger wust still up from the night before. But it had a new message.

Did you fall asleep doing homework again?

He quickly tight a response and then shut down messenger and turned off his computer.

Nico made his way down to the kitchen to make His 'Majesty' his egg white sandwich.

Nico glanced out the window that looked out on to the pool, his stepdad was lean back and one of the poolside chairs reading while his two stepbrothers we're having their water aerobics lesson. Once the eggs are done he put them on a croissant and took it out to the pool.

Outside Octavian was exerting his boys. Through Octavian's eyes his boys could do no wrong and we're perfect at everything they did. Like their water aerobics. Octavian saw graceful swans in the water. while everyone else Saw two lumbering neanderthals.

"NICO!" Octavian hollered.

"I'm right here Octavian. 1 egg white croissant sandwich." he said placing the plate on the side table.

"Is that one of the croissant from Hestia's harf?"

"Of course." Nico responded. "Only the best." he said sarcastically. Octavian scrutinized him from over his sunglasses. "Was that sarcasm? Nico."

But befor Nico could respond a ear piercing screech from one of his idiot step brothers grabbed their attention.

When Octavian's attention was once more on Nico he said; " what are you doing still standing there?" Nico started slightly intern back to Octavian. "Get to work." the blonde said.

Nico nervously fiddle with his skull ring as he said; " Octavian, I can't go to work this morning. I have a really big test I need to study fo..."

Octavian cut off The Raven. "I don't care somebody called off and they need you to go into cover. So go." he said shewing the boy towards the house.

Nico side as he turned around and headed back towards the house.

Nico went back up to his room and pulled on a black pair of jeans with a black shirt and his messenger bag. Before heading out to his car, longingly looking at his father's Firebird as he headed to his junk of a car.

"Thanks for calling Legion. One moment please." half a year after Hades Di'Angelo died and his husband took over the diner he changed everything that the man had built.

The first thing he did as new owner, was to change the name of the diner from Elysium to Legion. It shouldn't have to be said that a lot of people were very ticked at that.

"Martha! Your orders up." The diners manager, Reyna hollered as she hung up the phone.

"Thanks Reyna." Martha said.

Reyna Avila Ram rez-Arellano, a black eyed, black haired, 22 year old Latino woman. Has worked in the diner since she was 18. And she loved every minute of it.

"Good morning Mr Grace. Black coffee, two fried eggs and a piece of toast?" she asked even though she already knew that's what he would order.

Reyna turned from placing the order, she frown and walked over towards the person busting tables. "Nico. What are you still doing here?" she asked the teen.

"I'm almost done." Nico said as he placed another plate into his dirty dishes bucket.

"You're going to be late for school." Reyna said; "I'll get there when I get there. Octavian will kill me if I don't get this done." Nico said as he went over to the next table.

"I don't give a damn about Octavian. What I do care about is your education." she said as Nico continued clearing tables.

"I.."

"He's got you coming in here at the crack of Don."

"But I..."

"Your dad would want you at school not here." Reyna said; as she took the dirty dishes from Nico.

"Thanks Reyna." Nico said;

"GO on. Get going." the Latino said Waving off the Italian.
