Carter

Carter here, it's been awhile since my sister, Sadie and I defeated Apophis. That big red chaos snake that wanted to swallow the sun. Since then, things have been pretty quiet here at Brooklyn house. Well at least they were quiet until a certain someone just had to show up.

It was a normal Saturday afternoon. Felix was freezing the fire place with several penguins running around. Felix had grown taller and was now eleven years old. Khu-fu and our one of our ankle-bitters, Shelby, were on the floor drawing a snake with x's over its eyes. I assumed that snake was Apophis. Shelby had grown a bit and was now 6 years old. Sadie and Walt or Anubis, whichever you prefer, were on the couch talking (No Sadie, I will not go into details. I don't even remember what you guys were talking about.) And then there was Zia teaching a new initiate how to use fire magic. Zia, like me, was now 16 years old. Brooklyn house was like a home to all of us and we were all like one big family. I decided to sit down by Shelby and Khu-fu and see what they were doing.

" Hey! What'cha got there Shelby?" I asked
" Uh!" Grunted Khu-fu
" Khu-fu said that it's that big bad snake going BOOM!" Shelby said
" Nice!" I said "Could you draw Khu-fu for me?"
" Yes!" She replied

I walked over to Felix. He was making a fort out of ice with his penguins wearing little army helmets.

"Alright soldiers!" He cried "Off toward the the First Nome! We shall conquer Apophis and his minions! CHARGE!"

His penguins ran down the fort and all around the living room. That's Felix for you. He's a real trouble maker. I walked over to his fort.

"Felix! Could you please take you fort somewhere other than the fireplace?"

"Aww come on Carter! This took me 2 hours to build!" He whined

"Yes Carter it is rather fascinating" A certain annoying voice called

Sadie of course was just happy to encourage him.

"Stop worrying so much brother dear. Besides you aren't even in charge of the house now anymore."

Of course, Sadie just had to be right. Since Apophis had tried to swallow the sun. My uncle, Amos, had put new people in charge at the house. But I always had the urge to keep things in check no matter what.

"Ummm...Sadie...Carter's right. Felix we know you worked hard on the fort but you can't have it here in the living room" said Walt

Walt was like me right hand man or god. Whichever you want to say. He always helped with the new initiates and was even better than a lot of us with the younger ones.

"Awww! Not fair!" Felix whined

Just as he said that there was a knock at the door. I let one of the adults handle because I wasn't done with Felix. After about a few minutes of telling Felix why he couldn't have his fort in the house, the adult instructor came in.

"Carter, Sadie, you have someone to see you" He said.

Judging from the look on his face, it was urgent. I asked Zia and Walt to watch Felix while Sadie and I went to see what the problem is. When we got there there was a boy and a girl, no older than 15, arguing with one of the instructors. When we got there. the two looked up at as and the boy held up his hand to the instructor and pointed to us. The instructor followed his gaze toward Sadie and I. He stepped aside to let us handle the situation.

"Hi welcome to Brooklyn House" I said

"Carter do you know who I am?" the boy asked

I looked him up and down. He wore blue jeans, a white long sleeve shirt, rectangular lensed glasses, and a cyan ski cap. His eyes were a dark brown to they point they looked almost black. His skin was a dark shade of ebony. He had dreads for hair and he looked vaguely familiar.

"No, I can't say I do."

The boy looked at the girl and the girl nodded.

"I'm your cousin" he said
