Chapter 1
Sadie's POV
You shall not escape from me, Sadie Kane. she hissed.
I ran from the woman with snakes as her hair, wearing groovy sunglasses. How did she know who I was? More importantly, who was she anyway? I didn't know any Egyptian monstrosity such as her.
I turned around to face her and pointed my wand at her. I mutterd the spell Ha-di, but she just laughed at me.
"Oh, Sadie Kane, your petty Egyptian magic shall not work on me!"
She raised a syringe like a knife.
"Nooooooo!" I wailed.
I tried rolling to the side, but it was to late. The needle buried itself onto the top of my left arm.
"Unnnnhhhhh..." I muttered.
On impulse, I reached for my wand, but... I couldn't move my body! I tried calling out for help, but I couldn't speak either!
You've defeated Set and Apophis, but get beaten by some insane wacko? I say to myself.
The crazed snake-haired woman slowly removed her sunglasses... then her expression changed into a twisted smile. She fell to the ground, lifeless.
A boy who looked vaugely like Anubis appeared in front of me.
"Are you okay?" he asked.
I wanted to say: I am! Thank you so much for saving me!, but I couldn't. Every time I tried to speak or move, I felt as if a ton of energy left my body. Thankfully, the boy's eyes drifted to the syringe the crazed woman had dropped.
"Oh gosh. Did she...?"
With the last of my effort, I willed myself to speak, but still couldn't. My vision dimmed, and I blacked out.
Nico's POV
Oh man... what was I supposed to do? I knew I shouldn't have intervened in the fight, but Medusa was about to kill her! Well at least I'd saved her life, but now I was stuck with her, unconcious. She wasn't even Greek! She was Egyptian! Chiron had told Annabeth and I that all mythologies existed and shouldn't ever clash. He hadn't told anyone else, because if he did, I could only imagine the trouble everyone would get in.
I hoisted the girl on my back and shadow traveled to Camp Half-Blood. I landed in front of Percy and Annabeth.
"Oh hey, Nico!" greeted Percy.
"Uh, hi. I, um, picked up a... new demigod along the way." I said.
"Oh?" inquired Annabeth.
"Egyptian. Play along." I whispered to her as quickly as possible.
"Hey, what are you to gossiping about?" Percy frowed.
Annabeth turned around, and rolled her eyes playfully.
"Oh, nothing you would understand, Seaweed Brain." she teased.
"You'd be surprised at what I can understand."
"Please, you can sarcely understand Algebra!"
"Hey! I know all about square roots, pi, and, uh, um..."
"Guys! The girl's unconcious, she needs medical attention!" I said.
"Right! Bring her to the infirmary." said Annabeth.
I brought the girl to the infirmary. Will Solace and another of his siblings, Perry Fletcher, attendedto her.
"Will she be alright?" I asked.
"She'll live." replied Perry.
I watched as Will poured some nectar on her arm.
"Don't worry. She'll gain conciousness in an hour or so." he said.
I nodded.
"Good."
Drew's POV
I watched In disgust as Nico brought the newbie into the infirmary. Ugh. Another useless camper.
A couple of hotties approached me.
"Heya Drew!" said one.
"Hey, Nick! How are you?" I said smoothly.
"I'm good. Hey, did you see the new girl?"
"Her? Yeah. Nothing special." I snorted.
"She's really pretty."
"What? I don't think so."
"Yeah! She was real pretty!" one of Nick's friends chimmed in.
"Seriously? Whatever. I'm going back to my cabin."
I stomped back to my cabin, hoping Piper wasn't there. I she wasn't, I could boss people around all day! I opened the door and peered inside. Piper wasn't there. Score!
"Lacy, hon! Get me a beverage!" I commanded.
Lacy frowned.
"No way!"
"Awww... c'mon hon, get me a beverage."
Lacy blinked.
"I'll get you a beverage." she stumbled off.
I lay down on my bed scheming up new schemes. Camp Half-Blood was high-time in need of a bit more... pizazz.
