Percy Jackson The Son Of Death

Chapter 1: Meeting Death

(A/N: Just warning you that this chapter might be a bit gory and some readers might not like some parts I apologize if I offend any of you but you have been warned. Also check out my other book if you like this, it should also be less gory.)

I was laying on the floor in my bedroom on the hard cold floor. I don't have a bed in case your wondering. I wasn't at school as it was the summer. I was trying to hide from Gabe hoping that he would stay away and not hit me. I heard heavy footsteps outside the door before they stop and a shadow passes the light under the door.

I creep further into the corner hoping he didn't hear me moving. He suddenly burst through the door. I scream as the door falls into me throwing me against the wall. I feel blood running down the back of my neck as I curl into a ball. Gabe walks up to me and grabs me by the neck throwing me into the wall again.

He starts raining heavy blows on me as I cower in the corner. This continues for an hour until he gets bored and is sweating like a pig. He walks out but I know he'll be back as I hear him going through drawers in the kitchen looking for the knife that he hides from my mother.

Moments later he comes back in and slowly drags the knife over my body. He then drags it down my face but someone walks into the room and screams. Startled he swipes the knife away taking part of my cheek with it.

I scream in pain and grab my cheek. The person pushes Gabe away and hugs me. I look at her and see my mum and get scared. Gabe said if she ever found out he would do the same to her.

I look at Gabe and he's coming towards us I try to warn her but I can't because of the pain and the hole in my cheek. He grabs her and drags her away from me before kicking me as I try to pull her back. He starts beating her and cutting her as she screams in pain.

He then starts unbuckling his trousers and I jump up only to get stabbed in the side and then thrown into the corner. I can only watch as he rapes her.

He stops and stabs her in her stomach before walking out. I crawl to her as she crys. She looks at me when I reach her. "Percy I want you to run ok? Run as far as you can away from here. I don't want you staying with him." She says between breaths.

"No mum. What about you, I can't leave you here alone." I cry as I hug her. My speech slurred because of the hole in my cheek.

"No you must. I won't be here anymore so don't worry about me." She says her breath getting shallower.

"No don't leave me mum. Please." I beg.

"I'm so sorry son. I love you." Was the last thing she said before she stopped breathing and the light left her eyes. I cry over her before passing out from blood loss.

Thanatos pov

I was having a busy day tracking down souls, there had been alot of deaths today after a huge traffic incident. I walk along the streets of New York as things calm back down again. I walk by an apartment complex before getting hit by the feeling of someone being close to death.

I quickly flash my robes onto my form before flashing to the location. I stand in the corner of a cold bare room. I look around and what I see horrifies me, a short stout man is beating a woman before he starts unbuckling his trousers. I know what he's about to do and I sickens me. A kid no younger than eight jumps to his feet.

He looks pretty well beaten himself but the determination to save what is probably his mother is clearly shown in his eyes. He trys to drag the man off the woman but only gets stabbed in the side as his reward.

I would do something but I can't because someone in the room has to die here. Until they die I can't interfere.

The boy is then thrown across the room landing in the corner. The way he lands exposes the right side of his face and i choke back a gasp of horror as I see the bloody hole in the side of the boys cheek.
