Chapter One
I Get A Call
Sadie
I GOT THE CALL around 6:30 in the morning. Hullo. Sadie Kane here. If you listened to our other recordings, you should know by now that your crazy days are our normal days. If you were harmed in any way during this apocalypse, it was all Carter's fault. [Ow, Carter, don't pinch!] Sorry about that. On to the story! It was very early on a Tuesday when I received a call on my cellphone. I hadn't slept at all the night before, so I was a little, well, grumpy. [Don't laugh, Carter! It's not like you always wake up happy and cheerful!]
"What is it?" I grumbled. On the other line, I could faintly hear what sounded like big things getting destroyed.
"Sadie, it's me, Lea! I have a bit of a problem here."
Ah, Lea. One of our newest initiates, she had decided to follow the path of Bast. Lea was friendly, kind, and thoughtful, but at times she could be so bloody daft! Nevertheless, Lea was Bast's favourite (Second to me, of course). Anubis didn't say so out loud, but he despised her. I did too, at times, but most of the time, she was a great person, and a great friend, so what she said made me wake up completely.
"What is it? What's wrong?"
"There are several, well, things, destroying Brooklyn! I can't seem to stop them, and my reserves are basically gone! What's more, two girls are getting attacked by the monsters, but they don't seem to be magicians!"
That confused me and frightened me a little. Who were those girls? Why were they getting attacked? And why were there bloody monsters attacking the city? Well, there was only one way to find out.
"I'll be there as soon as possible," I managed to say in what I hoped was a confident, leader like tone.
"Thank you Sadie!" Before she hung up, I heard her shout something like "Take this, you flopdoodles!"
Bloody hell, I had to get there before Lea killed herself!
I raced down the steps of the Great Hall and checked the Duat to make sure that my tools were stowed away in there. I then quickly wrote a note that said,
Carter,
I've gone on a mission (In Brooklyn). If I don't get back before noon, send help. Don't worry, I'll try to be careful, but I will most likely fail at that.
Sadie
With that finished, I ran out the door, to where we had an artifact placed for teleportation just in case the one one the roof was 'cooling down' from usage. [Carter, I swear. If you even touch me ONE MORE TIME, then I will destroy you.] It also worked if you didn't want to go all the way up to the top of the roof. I started chanting, hoping that I wouldn't blow myself up by hitting an inauspicious moment. I didn't, thank the gods, and got through the portal with only a few grains of sand stuck to my hair. Alas, I spoke to soon.
I had dropped right into the middle of a battle area.
