Chapter 1
The wind-swept against his raven hair, but the child did not notice this as he was to busy running from the mini-van sized, black dog, that held the most demonic red eyes the boy had seen in his life. One minute he was minding his own business in his home when this thing broke through the wall. Okay, that may have been a lie but what do you expect him to spend all his time with Smelly Gabe. NO. He would rather be chased by this thing. Maybe you deserve an explanation. See the boy Perseus, or Percy as he likes to be called was born into a family of opposites. Where his step-father, Gabe Ugliano, was an ugly grotesque and isn't the slightest bit kind or caring but rather cruel and abusive his mom was a total opposite. His mother of 7 years, Sally Jackson, was the best person you will ever met in your life. Kind, modest, smart, and caring made Percy's life worth living seeing as he couldn't make any friends. That all changed on the day of Percy's 7th birthday. See Smelly Gabe took it upon himself to get as wasted as he could on Percy's birthdays and when drunk he became far more abusive than any other time. It was on that fateful day in which Percy lost his mother.
Flash-Back
Slam! A body hit the wall across room. "STOP YOUR HURTING HIM!" Sally screamed rushing to help her son up.
"Well the twerp should not be runninn into me" Gabe slurred from his position in the center of the room.
"YOU RAN INTO HIM YOU DRUNKEN BASTARD!" Sally screeched hoping a neighbor would hear but could not know that they were still at work.
Gabe then slowly walked towards Sally until he was above her kneeling position over her son. Sally shrieks as she was thrown back by the hair into the table which broke in half under the pressure from which she was thrown. Percy tried to stand but he knew that he had no strength to do so. He watched Gabe take his knife out of his pocket. Percy's heart raced, he won't try to kill her will he. At this point Percy was doing his best to try and crawl to his mother but with one arm dislocated from his hit against the wall he was not going fast enough. He watched the blade go down and his scream was mixed with his mothers until he saw her body go limp and her eyes dull from the blade protruding from her heart.
"Clean this up i'm going to sleep"Gabe said as his form retreated down the hall.
Percy didn't move hell he couldn't from pain and shock as he watch his mother lifeless form the scene of her death repeating in his mind over and over again. His soul shattered he knew what he needed to do. He picked himself up leaning heavily against the wall and put his hand over the dislocated one. Without so much as a scream of pain, although it hurt a lot, his arm was relocated.
He had to run, so being the 7 year old he is Percy just walked out of the house. Still greaving for his mother Percy settled in an alley and recovered for the past two days. During those two days Percy just sat thinking, crying for his mother, and sleeping. Percy never got cold at night though he was always warm as if h had an eternal flame begging for a release he couldn't give(hint hint). The next day Percy went for a walk near a pond in a park where he could recover his thirst. Luckily for him there was some water bottles and 2 burgers on a bench. Percy wasn't much of a thief but he did what was needed to survive. After his rejuvenating meal he decided to take a small walk through the park when not even two minutes in the thing that had sleek black fur and demonic red eyes was after him and thus the race began.
Flash-Back End
Percy Pov
Can't I take a nice stroll through the forest. NOOO of course I can't. I mean come on a giant dog with red glowing eyes and is the size of a van isn't this a little to close to greek mythology ( Sally taught Percy about Greek mythology but didn't tell him about being related and such) this thing has been chasing me for about two minutes now and I can probably run for two more.
"Use the fire my son"
A female voice spoke in my head. Wait fire, son, MY, what the hell is going on. Then I noticed a feeling in my gut like one of those feelings you get when you go down really fast on a roller coaster and instantly knew this is what that Lady had been talking about. So in response to this feeling I did the natural thing. I turned to face the nightmare hound. I concentrated on the palm of my hand...3 minutes left...2Then I heard a crackling sound and felt warm shoot through my body. I looked down and saw a deep purple flame engulfing my hand while the tips were that of a lighter shade of purple maybe even a deep blue. Alas, I did not notice the beauty of the flame because I was to busy pushing my hand towards the monster in fear I might get burned and I saw the flame fly off of my hand before I turned away and closed my eyes. BOOOM! Was all I heard before my ears started to ring from the explosion and I was knocked off of my feet.
In and out of my states of consenceness i saw people in white coats talking quietly while staring at me then I close my eyes. I then work in a...Van? Closing my eyes again after hearing one word demigod. My eyes opened for a final time to be strapped to a table in a white room with one of those interrogator windows oon the wall. Wait a second slow down, strapped to a table! As I began struggling I saw a door that I had not seen next to the window. A man walked in with one of those white lab-coats on.
"Calm down your okay now" the man said in a way that made Percy somewhat calm.
"W-Who are you?" Percy replied albeit hesitant.
"You may call me Jeb and as the other mutants call it you are in the school"
