SADIE

My brother is an idiot.

Yeah, i know this may sound a tad harsh, but you have no idea what he did.

It started about a week ago, when he noticed that the balance of Ma'at was a little off.

I believe it was a Monday. Bad things always start on Mondays. Like school, but that would have been nothing compared to this

"Hey, Sadie," He called out as I came out of my room about to go sulk since me and Walt had been in an argument recently (don't ask. It was all his fault, so I shouldn't have to talk about it.) "I think something is off. I visited dad today, Walt took me, and I noticed the balance was off. Dad was talking about there being some run away Serpopards when I asked him and I was wondering if you could check this out for me?"

And Walt wonders why I'm so mad after he acts like he did nothing and then doesn't even invite me to visit my father when he takes Carter? That's just plain rude.

"Why can't you go?" Of course this was my thought when he said 'you go check this out', not us or you and Bast. Just 'you'. Which means 'I have other things to do than help you take down the monsters that once destroyed Brooklyn House, so you're gonna have to do this by yourself. I thought this was a big problem.

"I have plans." This didn't surprise me all that much, and I figured it was something along these lines. Him and Zia had spent at least every other night on a happiness was really annoying me since me and Walt stopped going out. And since Bast had to watch the kids, that meant that i was the only one capable left. Yay me!

"Any ideas on where to find the Serpopards? Just to clarify." I was really starting to get annoyed, and thinking of my break-up with Walt didn't really help.

My super helpful then replied, "No clue. Somewhere in Asia though."

And thus began my slow week-long trip through the Middle East. I got there rather fast, with portals to help me, but it takes time to search an entire continent for a monster, Even with the occasional helping hand from the duat. Not to mention it only took a few days to find those things, but then they realized something was wrong and started to run. It can be really bothersome when your trying to kill something and it decides to run away, isn't it?

It took forever. I had them cornered in some back alley in China, but then someone bumped into me forcing me to turn around very angrily to yell at the bloke.

The bloke happened to be a boy about my age (15 in case you've forgotten.) and just a wee bit taller than me, but he was gorgeous. He had midnight black hair half covering his dark brown (almost black really) eyes. He had black jeans on, and a black t-shirt on. Oddly, there was a strange ring on one hand that looked a bit like a skull. And apparently, when he knocked into me he fell.

"Stupid manticore," I thought I heard him mutter. He looked up and looked at something behind me. He looked up at me and noticed i was carrying my staff and wand, not something the average girl would be holding when they turned around to yell at you. Then he began to speak to me. "Well, I hope you don't intend to kill me for letting that monster get away."

My first thought was, why would I want to kill him? He's gorgeous! Then, wait, it got away. and last, but not least, well at least i know what he was looking at.

"I should kill you," I told him, not wanting to reveal why i don't want to kill him, "but how do you know about monsters?"

"I think introductions are in order before i start sharing secrets. What's your name?"

"I'm Sadie Kane, now who are you?"

"I am Nico di Angelo"

A.N. BTW, if I don't get more than 15 reviews, I will discontinue this, and i'm not updating till i have that many. Just as a reminder, and yes, I DO support SADICO and that will be here in later chapters. and ignore grammatical errors
