This is my first story, so please, lots of reviews! Let me know how I am doing! The time frame for this story is in the beginning of the Throne of Fire, and in between the Son of Neptune and the Mark of Athena. (while they are building the Argo II)

Sadie

My evening wasn't going the best even before I got buried alive by a building. If you're reading this you've probably heard our other version of this recording. This is what really happened, but a while ago this version would have been too complicated to publish (don't ask me why; ask my uncle Amos, he's the one who made the decision).

Anyways, it started when we went to the Brooklyn Museum to borrow part of the book of Ra. [Ouch! That hurt Carter! I was meaning to return it when we were done, how was I to know that was impossible?!] Jaz, Walt, (initiates at Brooklyn House) Carter and I were going to the museum to find something that we needed to save the world. Of course as is with our luck, we had no idea what it was we were looking for. (Umm... Carter? Would you mind telling Freak to become quiet? I can't hear my music!)

So, let's see, fast forward to the important part. We had gotten into the museum, the statue, the flaming scroll in my hand (not cool by the way), the griffin, and the flamey spirit things. As you can see, it wasn't much fun. Jaz had just started her spell to get rid of the spirits when four people came crashing through the big window in the roof. They were riding some sort of horse with wings, which strangely reminded me of "pegsee" or something like that from some myths. (Not Egyptian ones, though.)

When they landed I could see two boys and two girls. One of the boys ran up to me and said, "Who are you and what is going on here?" I registered the fact that he had black hair and sea green eyes, but I was too busy staring at the horses to even make sense out of the fact that my name is Sadie. "Uh, I'm Sadie Kane, and this is a very long story. I might ask you the same question if our lives weren't in danger." I said.

I glanced over at Jaz, hoping that she hadn't stopped her spell.

I got lucky. Either Jaz didn't notice them or she's really good at concentrating, because she kept going with her spell. I'll go with the second one, because if you knew Jaz, you'd think the same thing too.

A girl with blond curls and violent, but kind stormy gray eyes ran up to the boy saying, "We need to get everybody out, the structure of the building is weakening and it is getting ready to implode any minute!" Carter and Walt were behind me tying the griffin to a boat that Walt had gotten from one of his amulets. I could see that Jaz wasn't doing so well, but she was nearing the end of her spell to get rid of the fiery spirits. Also, a little ways behind the boy and girl in front of me I saw that the other two were having trouble keeping the horses under control because of all the spirit things that were causing a raucous.

At that moment, I looked over and I saw the very end of Jaz's spell. The vortex that had sprung up collapsed inward and disappeared, taking the spirits with it. At the same time we all felt a tremor run through the building. (Too much magical stress for it I guess) We saw giant cracks spreading across the walls and up onto the ceiling like giants were carving designs with knives. We heard a big rumble and all at once the entire upper building collapsed on us all.

Mwa ha ha! A cliff hangar! It wasn't actually first planned to be one, but it just went really well that way. Again, PLEASE REVIEW! Go ahead and tell me what you think of it, good or bad. Did I make any grammatical errors? Anything I should change? Tell me!
