N/A This is a remedy for my boredom. The Percy Jackson Gone story is still going on, but this is a story I will also be working on.
Sadie's POV
I look around. "This is it?" I whisper in Carter's ear. "Really?"
Truthfully, I had been expecting more. There was a pretty garden, surrounding the house. The house itself was large. It had an older design, and I instantly wondered if it was Egyptian. The woman named Trudy looks back at me and Carter.
"So," She says trying to lighten the mood, "You'll be staying in the Anubis House. Come along, I'll show you around."
Anubis? Speaking of him…wonder how he is?
Well anything with his name in it can't bring bad luck for me.
Oh how wrong I was.
As soon as I walk in the house, I immediately spot 5 Egyptian things. Carter probably spotted more.
"Now," Says Trudy, "I'll let you settle in you rooms, and then perhaps one of the other students can show you around?"
I didn't understand why she said the last part as a question, but then from almost every corner of the house comes out a 15-17 year old boy or girl.
"Nina, Sadie. Fabian, Carter." Says Trudy briskly, and ushers us up the stairs.
I glance at Nina out of the Corner of my eye. I can see her magic, a reddish goldish kind of magic. "Here!" She says. "Trudy told me you were rooming with me and Amber." She walks into a medium sized room, with three beds.
"Thanks, Nina." I reply.
"You won't mind if I go do something real quick?" She asks.
"Of course not." I reply. She runs out.
Nina's POV
"Fabian! Fabian!" I hiss quickly.
"What?" He asks.
"Shush. I need to tell you something."
"What?" He hisses this time, getting the gesture that we need to be quiet.
"The locket, it either likes them or doesn't. I'm not sure."
"Sadie and Carter?"
"Yeah." I reply. "It started glowing red, and got really hot. I think the mystery is linked to them somehow."
"Really?"
"Yeah." I say.
"Well I guess all we can really do is keep an eye on them, at least until we've figure them out."
"The hall is not a loitering area!" Victor's voice rings out.
"Sorry!" Both me and Fabian call out the word.
Fabian and I start up the stairs.
Sadie's POV
"Hello Sadie."
I whip around and just about-never mind.
"Anubis!" I have to refrain myself from screaming it. "You scared me!"
He smiles.
"You've never like, actually, appeared to me, like in a public place." I tell him.
"I'm stronger here." He tells me.
"Why? 'Cause it's named after you?"
"That might be one of the reasons…"
"You're really secretive." I inform him. "Not that you're really…informative all the time."
"The secrets of this house are for you to find." He in his turn informs me.
"Secrets?" I ask. "What kind? And can I trust that Nina girl? What about Fabian? They all seem nice, but-"
"Sadie, listen. 11298. You'll need those numbers."
"Why?" I ask.
"You'll know when and why soon. Just trust me."
He kisses me on the cheek. "Bye." He whispers.
And with that, the cutest boy/god ever disappears.
"Who were you talking to?" Nina demands.
"A-" I catch myself. "A friend! On the phone! See?" I ask as I hold up my cell phone.
"Sibuna." Amber and Nina whisper.
What's Sibuna? And why are they trying to hide it?
I'm trotting down the hall, trying to find Carter. When I run into an older man.
"Who are you?" He demands.
"My name's Sadie," I say, feeling my wand heat up. "I was just looking for my brother Carter."
"You two are the new 'children'?" The way he says children makes me think that he's thinking of something stronger than children.
"Yeah."
"Why are you not in your room getting settled?"
Curious much? "Well I already got everything unpacked, and I think my brother was done too. So I just was going to check on him." I decide, because of the heat in my back pocket I do NOT want to talk to this guy ANYMORE. I slip around him and head back to my room.
"Anubis?" I whisper. "Are you going to help me through this?"
