Welcome reader to the Shattered Souls Chronicles! Before you start reading, be aware that I do not go through each and every one of my chapter looking for errors, so if you find one, please feel free to PM me about it, if you want. Also, I do not, sadly, own the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, nor the Heroes of Olympus series. All rights go to Rick Riordan. I do not own any of the characters, except for Raven and a few more characters you will become familiar with at the end. So, without further ado, welcome to the first chapter, The Cheated Girlfriend.

If you'd asked 16 years old Nico di Angelo whether he'd be breaking up with his long-time girlfriend Skylar Bloom, daughter of Zeus, anytime soon, he would've probably given you a deluxe death glare, then would've given you some unnecessary choice words; but that's what had got him running from Camp Half-Blood, Camp Jupiter, Olympus, the Underworld, and the Hunters of Artemis.

It'd all begun when Nico figured out why Skylar had been so distant from him. Ever since their fall into Tartarus (a very long and dramatic story you do not want to hear) they had been almost inseparable, freaking out when either had even gotten a small scratch. But these days, Skylar had been keeping away from him. Nico had asked Annabeth what she thought, but all she had done is coldly tell him that it was nothing more than her hormones, and that he should stop being so possessive, before storming off to meet Percy and Jason (who had broken up with Piper to be with Reyna), and who, in fact, were giving Nico the exact same look.

Nico had thought over her words and dismissed it, but that seemed to infuriate the campers even more. He put that down to the fact that his douche of a brother, Eric Hickson, trying to ruin his life. He had already gotten to most of the camp, and the only ones left were his two sisters, Hazel Levesque and Raven Claw (AN: See what I did there? No? Never mind….), Skylar, and, quite surprisingly, Piper Mclean, the daughter and head counselor for the Aphrodite Cabin. Camp Jupiter had blended into Camp Half-Blood, but had left the area exactly how it was.

Nico walked over to the Hades Cabin, still deep in thought, and didn't notice the closed door, and walked straight into it. Cursing, he shoved the door open, annoyed at his stupidity. It would've been better if he had stayed outside, because what he saw inside led him to the worst argument he had ever had the displeasure of fighting. Skylar, making out with his ass of a brother, Eric. He cleared his throat to catch their attention, before engaging in a ferocious yelling battle between Skylar.

"Sky, what in dad's name is going on here?"

"Nico, Hades has disowned you, you idiot!"

"What?! You know, don't answer that, tell me why the person I most trusted other than Piper, Hazel, and Raven is making out with the person I hate the most!"

"Ha! The only other person who you can rely on is pretty little Piper who can't fight to save her life! Hazel and Raven have died. They were killed by some hellhounds that invaded our camp!"

"WHAT!?"


*Two Hours Later*

Nico P.O.V

"I hate you!"

Yup, it had gotten that long. And bad, but mostly long. Our other fights were usually about who is and who isn't fighting in a battle, etc, so it was slightly different. Our powers had also gotten pretty out of control so Skylar was now 4 feet in the air, with her hair flying all around her, and her body crackling with electricity. Me, on the other hand, was hovering on a cloud of shadows, emitting a wave of fear occasionally, and pretty much doing the superficial 'Hades spawn' thing. Not that I am one anymore; Hades apparently disowned me. I mean, I fought in his name for two wars, fell in Tartarus twice, fought against Tartarus twice, managed to keep the Underworld safe when he couldn't, and he still chose my pathetic ex-brother over me. I mean, the most he's done is freak out when fighting against hellhounds, while I had to fight all the battles. He really is an asshole.

Hushed whispers surrounded us, and I picked out Travis and Conner Stoll betting on either who is going to win the battle between us, or on whether we were going to kill each other.

"You know what? I honestly don't give a shit about this relationship anymore. You want to go flirt with all the boys in this camp? Be my guest, because you and I are through, Skylar Bloom!"

I turn to shadow travel out of there as fast as I can, because I honestly never want to hear from either camp ever again, but before I could, I hear Piper calling out. I grab her hand and then disappear. Thankfully she had gotten pretty used to my sort of transport, because I wasn't willing to stop until I had gotten as far away from the camps as possible. I start walking away from the borders, but soon, she pulls me to a stop, and gives me this look that clearly says 'do you have any idea what you're doing?'

"Actually, yes. I never want to step foot in there again, and I most definitely want to travel as far away from there as possible."

"What about me? I mean, I'll come along if you want me too, but-"

"No. I can't risk getting you hurt, so I'll drop you off back at the Camp. But before that, I need to tell you something. While I was, um-"

"Yelling about Skylar cheating on you, yes, continue?"

I glare at her, but I don't keep it up, because she is the only person I know of, since my sisters' deaths and Skylar's betrayal, that still trusts me.

"As I was saying, um, I accidently cursed the Camp..."

It takes her a few seconds for her to actually process something as farfetched as that, but when she does, she starts hyperventilating about it."

"WHAT?! How did that happen? When did it happen? Why did you have to curse the camp?"

I raise my hands. "Woah, calm down. It happened while I was breaking up with her, and the curse went something like 'nobody in the whole camp will live a perfect life until they've cleared stuff up with me'. You're good to go."

She exhales deeply, and gives me hug. "Are you sure you'll be alright?"

"Yeah." I lift my jackets sleeve to show her an elaborately decorated bracelet. "Skylar, before Eric came, gave me this bracelet. It's a thirteenth birthday gift from Olympus to her, and she asked for a duplicate for me. The fourteen charms represent each gift given from all the Olympians, plus fa-Hades and Hestia. The tent charm can expand into a tent that provides any sort of comfort needed."

Piper looks impressed, and turns to leave, but before she does that, she kisses me on the cheek. "Stay safe, Death Breath."

I smile, though my mind is reeling. "You too, Beauty Queen."

She laughs, and walks away. I stare after her, before walking away as well. Today was one heck of a day, and if I was to survive, I was going to stop thinking of my past, and move forward. Later on, when the sun has set, I set up my own mini camp, and make a fire. This was going to be one journey I was always going to remember, but I had to stay alive to do that. I curl up in the tent, and fall asleep. Little did I know that I was the only one in the area...


Finally! The first chapter is complete. I'll try and update as soon as I can, but don't expect one for at least a couple of days, unless I feel lenient and give you an early 2016 present :3

Remember, don't forget to read and review!
