Hi! This is my first story, so sorry if it sucks (which I hope it won't). Contains slash (Boy\Boy). Don't like, don't read. By the way, I don't own either PJO or Cinderella (actually, nobody really owns Cinderella except for the Grimm Brothers maybe). Anyway, enough of this. Read on !

Chapter 1

Hades and Maria di Angelo were a cheerful couple, who lived happily with their daughter, Bianca. Two years after Bianca's birth, Maria got pregnant again. This time, it was little boy, whom they named Nico. Maria, however, didn't live to see her youngest child grow up, for she died soon after his birth.

Hades had loved Maria very much, and felt extremely sad with her death. If it weren't for his children, whom he loved almost as much as Maria, no one knows what would have happened. His children couldn't be left motherless, so he married a girl he had once been in love with before he met Maria. Her name was Persephone. With her, Hades had two baby girls. Their names were Rachel and Annabeth.

Rumors, however, said he felt no love for Persephone or her daughters, and that he would spend all day looking out of the window, dreaming of Maria. His daughter, Bianca, was the only person that could make him smile. Persephone soon became jealous, for Hades never paid attention to Persephone's children. One day, when Hades went into Bianca's room to wake her up, he found her lying dead on her bed. After that, no one ever saw him again. Some say he committed suicide so that he could be reunited with his wife and daughter.

Persephone became quite rich after her husband's death, for all his money had gone to her. Her daughters, Rachel and Annabeth, grew up spoilt, for their mother would give them anything they wanted. Little Nico, however, received none of the cares his stepmother had with his stepsisters. Nico reminded Persephone too much of his sister, so she made him work as a servant in the house. Every day, Nico would wake up early to do all the housework, from laundry to cooking to gardening. Rachel and Annabeth, following their mother's example, soon started to despise Nico as well.

-Nico! I told you I needed this dress ready for today! Luke's coming over in three hours and I have nothing to wear! Can't you get anything right?

-I can't find my scarlet pencil! How am I supposed to paint a lemon tree without a scarlet pencil? Nico, you stupid boy, where is my pencil? Mom, Nico forgot to get me a scarlet pencil!

And so on. So while Annabeth and Rachel grew up cared for and spoilt, poor Nico grew up lonely and uncared for.

So, that's the first chapter done. Too boring? Too unoriginal (I'm not even sure that words exists.) ? Too short (It is actually is too short, now that I think about it, but this is just a prologue ,kind of.)?. Tell me in the reviews! Virtual cookies will be given to everybody that reviews !
