I don't anything!

Carter's POV

Everything has been going great. I have been living in the Brooklyn house with Sadie training young and inexperienced magicians. A few moths ago I asked Zia out and ever since then we have been dating. I am very glad also to report that before Walt died because of his curse Anubis merged with him and I keeping him alive. Right after they asked out Sadie and she said yes. I wasn't too happy about them dating my sister. Don't get me wrong I really like Walt almost as a brother but Anubis is the one I don't like and don't want to be with my little sister. Every time I see them together I get upset but always push it aside. It has been four years since Horus and Isis had made contact with us but just recently Sadie and I noticed them speaking to us. It seems that they're finally come to terms with us not making Horus but Ra pharaoh and invited us to the land of Dead. I know what your thinking why the Land of the Dead? Well since Osiris our father wanted to be there they agreed to meet there. I was actually shocked because when gods enter the Land of the Dead they lose their powers. For them to do that and leave themselves unguarded it really must be serious and agreed for both Sadie and I to be there. They told to come tonight at promptly 6:00. I looked down at my watch and it read 5:50 so I decided to go and collect Sadie. When I entered her room I saw her sitting at her desk with music blaring. She wore black skinny jeans, ballerina flats surprisingly, a blue cardigan with a purple shirt underneath, and to top it all of a new purple streak. I was surprised by how she looked and then she mumbled, "The only reason I am dressed like this is because I promised mum that next time I saw her I would be dressed a little more civil and change my style."

I was surprised that Sadie did this for mom but I knew how much Sadie loved her and with that I quickly announced, "I think we should be going to see Walt so he can make a portal there." She quickly nodded and with that we walked quietly down to Walt's room full of anticipation. I knocked three times and he opened up and greeted me but then he lit up when he saw Sadie next to me and asked why she was dressed like than and if we were ready to go. She gave me the same answer and we walked into his room. He really didn't decorate much. The walls were a simple grey with accents of black; he had a bed, desk dresser and a pile of book in the corner of his room. When he was done summoning a portal he spoke up and said, "Good luck guys and have a safe trip." After he said that Sadie and him quickly kissed goodbye and we stepped through the portal.

When we stepped into the Land of the Dead a great deal of gods and goddesses were their and greeting us. On the other side of the room there were numerous tables filled with every imaginable food possible. We decided we should check it out Bast our favorite feline friend took us into a very bone-crushing hug and said, "I am so happy to see that my kittens are doing well. Sadie are you still going out with that dog?" Sadie sheepishly looked up at her and replied, "Bast I really do like him and yes we are going out." With that quickly scooted around the fact and went to go find and attend to Ra. We still were trying to find the food table but before we could Osiris our father and our mother popped out of nowhere and boomed, "Children I am so happy to see you both! It has been far to long since I have seen my children. Promise me come visit us more often when you have time off."

"Of course will come visit you guys when we have free time." Then after mom told Sadie how good she looked and how she should try to explore new fashion choices and dad asked how the basketball season was doing we finally made our way to the tables filled with food. Before we could make our plate I saw the last god I wanted to see. Anubis. "Why hello Lord and Lady Kane it's very nice seeing you here." I could tell most of the conversation was directed towards Sadie but I was ok with that since I really didn't care for Anubis. So I started stuffing my mouth with sweets.

Sadie's POV

The party was really nice but I know at the end of the night Carter and I would have to sit down with Horus and Isis to discuss matters that are bothering them. Anubis never really left my side most of the night and it was a nice feeling having him around. A couple of times I had to make a sarcastic comment because after all I am Sadie Kane. Just as Isis was going to make a toast the side of the wall exploded. After it did we saw some rebel magicians enter the room and they gave a speech about how they were going to destroy every god. Most of them were big brawly men. A lot of them had piercings and were covered in tattoos. They looked around the crowd and noticed Carter and I standing there with our weapons ready. The the main guy spoke up in a scratchy voice, "Instead of battling with the gods why don't we battle with the great Carter and Sadie Kane. Since they're so powerful that they saved the world from chaos I'm sure they could defeat us. Right?" this instantly sent chills down my spine, and I felt Anubis's grip on my waist tighten. The rebel magicians obviously liked this idea because they were chanting yes. I looked at my brother only to find a very pale, nervous and sweating Carter. He met my gaze and shook his head yes. I could hear in the background the gods and goddesses cheering for us and others arguing. I looked into the crowd and found my mother crying and my father comforting her. I knew I had to do this so I turned around looked at Anubis right in the eyes and found pain in them. I kissed him sweetly and he begged me, "Sadie please don't do this. You don't have to. I can't lose you!"

I gave him a sad smile and looked away because if I looked at him again I would probably start crying so instead I link arms with Carter and walked to the front of the room. When we finally made our way up there I found two big men who were to be our opponents and they had name tags on their shirts that read: Jackson, and Claude. To me they both looked equally scary and Carter seemed to notice how nervous I was because he quietly mumbled, "Don't worry Sadie will get through this."

I really believed what he was saying and that gave me a shred of confidence. I noticed that all of the gods left but only Anubis, Osiris, Bes and Bast stayed. I figured that the gods didn't want to be anywhere near a fight since they had no powers and could die. They told us there were no rules and whoever dies or gets seriously hurt will lose. There really was no way we could lose with so much at stake. I really had a funny feeling about how this fight would end, but pushed it aside, stood back to back with Carter, our opponent on either side of us, and with that we began the fight.
