An: This is my first story from the persisting annoyance of one of my best friends. Please no flames but I will accept constructive criticizm to help my writing.

Here's the summary: Percy ran away after his mom died from a car accident. He gets taken in by the Primordial God of Darkness, Erebus. Percy's personality is more like Nico's but a little more dark.

I wil touch down in Titan's Curse where he really is made notice of but I will put in times where he sees the other Half-Bloods complete the first two Enjoy :)

Disclaimer:I do not own PJO that is Rick.

The Son of Darkness
Chapter 1

Run. That's all Percy could think about as he put more and more distance from the little apartment. His step-father Gabe yelled for him to come back but Percy knew better. He was just going to hit him again. Gabe had become even more abusive since his mother had died in that car accident. His heart clenched as that memory came back. "No don't think about that, you'll just end up crying and now's not the time for that," Percy thought to himself.

He had been running for about and hour before Percy finally stopped to take a rest. No sooner had Percy stopped had he heard the growl. Percy whipped around to see a giant black Dog with red Hell fire eyes.

Percy turned to run and tripped over the log that he was just sitting on behind him. He cursed under his breath all the bad words Smelly Gabe had said about him and yelled at the t.v. during a football game.

The giant black dog stalked toward the young boy. Percy thought it was going to be the end when suddenly the hound burst into golden dust covering Percy.

What was left there was a 25 year old guy who had a crazy glint in his eyes as if he knew things that most wouldn't dare want to know. The man held his hand out to Percy to help him up. He gave him a warry look but took the hand.
"What's your name kid, and how old are you,"the man said,"you look no older than about 6 years old."

Percy looked up at the man with sad eyes and replied with a fragile voice as if it could shatter at any moment,"My name is Percy and I'm 5 years old. I ran away from home."

The man looked at him as if he was reading his memories to see what happened to him when in reality he was. He gave the boy a sad look and smile as he asked," Hello Percy do you know about the Greek Gods and Goddesses?"

Percy nodded his head and asked,"Like Zeus, Posiedan, and Hades?" His mom had taught him a little bit about Ancient Greece and a little bit of Ancient Rome before the accident.

The man smiled and answer Percy," Exactly and to answer your other question they aren't myths. The are all real and affecting the world just like it did back then."

Most people would've thought the man was crazy but Percy didn't. Something seemed to click inside him that all of this was true and that the man infront of him was a lot stronger than he was letting on.

Looking up with curiosity embedded into his eyes Percy asked the man one simple question that would forever change his life,"Who are you?"

The man gave the boy a crazy smile." I am Erebus, Primordial God of Darkness and I have one question for you," Erebus answered but followed up with a question," bu my question for you is, how would you like to be apart of a family with me and my wife, Nyx?"

Not believing what Erebus had just said."Really," Percy asked in a quiet voice,"do you mean it?" Percy had been let on by Gabe and he didn't want it to happen again, his heart just couldn't take it.

Erebus gave Percy a warm smile and nodded."Yes I mean it. My wife and I have wanted a normalish son and you have gone through a lot and it's time for you to be accepted," He answered.

An:yes I know it was short but I am going to gradually add on more and more per chapter r and r
