Chapter 3: I am Ryuk

A/N: So, I was going to introduce Percy until a few more chapters… but I got this amazing idea! PS. Child abuse in the beginning.

Light pulled his hood down and gazed down at the mortal boy, his big green eyes were wide with tears falling as the man beat the child. This was why he had killed criminals, this ugly mortal beaten on this innocent child. Chaos above he wished he could help, but he was a god of Death and they didn't extend human lives.

"Your stupid pathetic worm!" the man yelled at the child who winced as he was hit, abused, but made no noise. Hatred was in his eyes, his small frame trembled but the boy did nothing. "Now, listen here, strip and remove my belt."

Light sneered as the child slowly removed his clothes, he was so angry at Near for killing him, but he had his wish, he was a god and now he could kill others if needed… but since he had used the Death Note he couldn't kill to save a mortal's life. Only from the distance and through pawns he could.

"One day," the boy whispered venom in his voice. "One day I am going to kill you," the boy whispered and flew backwards as the ugly human smacked him.

"Good luck," the older sneered.

….

Percy applied the make up to his face and sighed, he was so tired, he didn't want this. He just wished someone would save him or die… Gabe had threatened to kill him if he ever told a soul about what was happening, and he loved his mother so much…. Gods he didn't want her to die. She never knew what Gabe did to him when she wasn't there.

"Percy," Sally smiled at him and handing him a plate of blue cookies. "Please go to the store and get these items," she handed a piece of paper with a list on it.

"OK," Percy smiled and ran a hand through his hair.

"One day I will purge this world of all its demons," the boy whispered. "Starting with Gabe Ugliano," Percy declared eyes alight with Greek fire.

….

Ryuk watched the small mortal make his vow, felt the vibrations of his promise and he laughed.

"He sounds like you did Light," Ryuk grinned his sharp teeth glistening in the dying light of the sun.

"He will be perfect," Light said and handed over a small black book with two words on it. "Ryuk this is your Death Note, give it to Perseus Jackson." Light said and stepped deeper into the shadows and shadow traveled to his palace.

Ryuk held the Death Note in his hand, followed the ten-year-old boy to the grocery store.

…

Percy held the basket in one hand, collecting the items his mother had written with much difficulty, gods he hated his dyslexia it made the words spin off the page. Made his brain ache, if only he could read properly, he could be smarter then he was.

Picking his food colouring Percy walked to the check out and waited in line. The two in front of him where talking about how Kira Day was coming up, February 28th. It had been five years since the death of Light Yagami, the criminal mastermind, the man had invented something that gave people heart attacks. Percy remembered that he had prayed to god, or anyone to hear him that he wanted Kira to kill Smelly Gabe.

"Hello young one," the cashier smirked at him, his name tag read: George, he had the beginnings of an afro, a friendly aroura around him and it made Percy relax.

"Hi," he said.

"Bag?" the older teen asked.

"Just two," Percy said and watched as the man bagged his groceries before telling him the total.

Handing over the fifty-dollar bill Percy pocketed the change, with a smile he walked to the sliding doors. Head down he followed the path he took to the store, down a dark ally; 100 feet before he would come to a cross walk and climb the steps to their apartment. He was halfway through the ally when he saw something fall.

Looking around Percy frowned as he saw no one around, the building to his left was closed for the night and the restraint to his right was packed for the night. With curiosity burning in his mind did Percy put his bags on the ground and picked it up. It was a black notebook with two words on it. Frowning he tried to see what it said and only saw: hetda Neto

What the heck?

Looking up Percy cried out as he saw someone hovering over him with red eyes wings extended and a mouth wide stretched into an ugly looking smile. His leather shirt was ripped in a few places and he was chuckling.

"I'm Ryuk," the thing said.

Percy closed the book and held it to the flying thing.

"This is yours?" Percy asked.

"It was, now its yours," Ryuk said and began to explain the rules only to get interrupted by Percy.

"I can't read this," Percy said. "I have severe Dyslexia and can't read English good," Percy pouted making Ryuk chuckle before extending his hands and slowly going through all the language that humans knew.

"Stop!" Percy commanded once he got to a language he knew.

"Greek," Ryuk laughed and asked for apples.

A/N: Sorry about the POV switches, and hope this update was an ok update! R&R!
