Psychopath (Percy Jackson Mortal AU)

Prologue

Sorry guys this won't be as good. I wrote the first chapter and saved it only it didn't save. I was SO annoyed. So sorry this might seem crappy but that just cause I'm trying to remember what I wrote before.

Oh yeah and this may have some bad language, not like A TON, but a few words here and there. But seriously in this generation either everyone uses them, or everyone hears other people use them.

"Stand down! This the police, stand down!" A voice from upstairs shouts as the front door is kicked open.

Leo Valdez sighs and studies his instruments that lay on the table, next to his victim tied to a chair.

"Pity," Leo says frowning. "We haven't gotten to the fun part yet."

Connor Stoll tugs on the bonds, but freezes when he sees Leo pick up a knife.

"Please no. Stop this." He mumbles through his swollen lip.

Leo laughs not cheerfully. "That's funny. As I seem to recall, I used to say the same thing to you."

Leo ignores the pounding of shoes upstairs and focuses back on where he is. The basement.

"Look," Connor says frantically as Leo gently places the knife to the victim's neck. "Do want a deal? I can make a deal. You let me live and I'll give you money, tons of money-"

"Yes." Leo interrupts Connor. "But what is living really? Just waiting to die. Dying is humanities purpose in life. Why people want to prolong their life's purpose, I will never understand."

Leo clutches the knife and presses it gently into the other man's skin. "Dying is the only thing you can depend on man to do."

Connor winced and clenched his jaw.

"What?" Leo asks noticing. "Are you pissed off? Are you going to do something?"

The footsteps of the police get closer and closer.

Connor sits there and stares at the door, praying help comes now, as Leo studies him.

"What are you, two or three years older? I guess I never got the concept of respecting your elders."

The basement door handle is repeatedly kicked, trying to open it.

"Help me please hurry!" Connor shouts for help, as Leo ignores him and keeps pressing the knife gently, but enough to bring blood, across Connor's jaw-line.

The door flings open and a man comes barreling in holding his gun.

"Connor Stoll is that-"

Leo turns immediately and throws the knife at the stranger's forehead. Bullseye.

"Charlie?" Another voice shouts and the basement is soon filled the police.

A few rush over to Connor and tend to his needs and untie him.

One grabs Leo Valdez and smashes him against the wall, cuffing his as the others point a gun at his head.

A green eyed man runs over to the body on the floor and checks his pulse, putting his gun in the back of his pants. "Come on Beckendorf, come on, stay with me...live goddamit!"

"Dying is the only thing you can depend on man to do." Leo repeated staring at Connor Stoll.

The room goes silent as the green eyed man runs over to Leo and punches him in the nose. Leo brings up his knee and hits the man squarely in the rib cage.

Hands grab both of them and pull them away from each other.

Leo Valdez walks away from the seriously angered man, smiling.

"Get that smile off your face before I smack it off you-"

"Percy, calm down-"

"Charles is dead because of him, Annabeth. He just killed him!"

The woman, Annabeth, purses her lips and leans into Percy, whispering something into his ear.

Whatever she said, Percy nodded and glared at Leo, his hands turning into fists.

As the police dragged Leo Valdez past, Percy mutters to him, "Psychopath."

And the only response he got back, was a wider crazed smile.
