I Don't Want to Hurt You

( A Kane Chronicles FanFiction)

chapter 1

Carter's POV.

Seriously, I have faced worse, like defeating chaos, battling gods, et cetera, et cetera, but I never thought a ghost would land in my list of top 10 bad guys I have faced. Why couldn't I just have a normal day, you know, watching TV, hanging out with friends. But I am a Kane, so I guess there is no normal day for a Kane. Well the day started pretty normally, but at about noon, a tall guy who looked like a rock star barged into the Brooklyn house a started blowing everything up. I summoned my khopesh from duat and jumped into action, while Zia drew her staff and wand. The guy said "Ah, carter, always the first to leap into action, how's your girlfriend, able to channel the power of Ra without burning up?"

"Setne" Zia snarled.

"I see you have made it this far without killing anyone, love" Setne said.

"What do you want?" Zia asked barely able to control her anger.

"Tut, tut, barely able to control our anger are we….." said Setne with an evil gleam I his eyes, and my mind clicked and I knew this had to stop.

"Setne….." I warned. But he barely glanced at me "sweet heart, you have to learn anger management or you might hurt somebody, but looking at the fact that I provoked your father to open the statue containing the monster, I don't think you have anybody to hurt do you" he taunted.

Anger flared up inside Zia and she raised her staff. I ran towards her to stop her as she brought down the tip of the staff onto the ground. I was blasted backward. I hit a wall and I felt a searing pain in the right side of my abdomen. I fell on the floor and say that I had been impaled by my own sword. The last thing I saw before blacking out was Setne laughing as he disappeared and a teary eyed Zia running towards me…
