Sadie Kane Gets Sick Chapter 1

Sadie's POV

I was woken up by the annoying sound of somebody knocking on my bedroom door. "Sadie…Sadie wake up…" someone kept repeating. After about thirty seconds, I realized that it was Walt. I dragged myself out of bed. I was REALLY tired, because I hadn't felt all that good, and didn't sleep very well last night. I opened the door, really hoping that Walt would shut up, because I had a pounding headache, and he wasn't helping. However, he did not, in fact, shut up, but the second that I opened the door, he began speaking at warp speed.

"Sadie, I'm really sorry to bother you, but some of the older kids keep killing Felix's penguins, and he is on the verge of tears. Also, Carter wants you to have breakfast with him… are you feeling okay? You don't look to good. Should I go get Jaz?" he asked, all in under five minutes.

I mean, don't get me wrong, I was happy that he was concerned about me, but I hate being sick, especially because when I get sick, I always end up being inches away from death. However, that is probably because I try to ignore it, hoping that it will just go away.

"I'm fine, just a little tired. I'll go down and see Carter. Tell the older kids that if they don't stop picking on Felix, they are going to loose their T.V. privileges, and if they give you any trouble, send them to me." I said, walking downstairs, but I was really Wobbly, and Walt had to keep grabbing on to me so that I wouldn't land on my face.

When I walked into the kitchen, Carter was waiting for me with a smug look on his face. I had started to feel like I was going to throw up, so I only picked at my breakfast. He was nattering on about how we really needed to send everybody to real school, so that they could get an education, as well as be training for the apocalypse, which made no sense at all to me. I thought that we should be training them 24/7, they could go to school after we saved the world, but I didn't feel well enough to fight with carter about it. He must of noticed that I was being unusually quiet, [Yes Carter, I know that I talk a lot, I choose to.] because he randomly stopped talking mid sentence. I knew EXACTLY what he was going to say before he said it, and I knew EXACTLY what was going to happen after he said it.

"Sadie, are you feeling okay?" he asked, as he pressed the back of his hand to my forehead. Before I could even answer, he said "Sadie, you definitely have a fever. Why didn't you tell me that you were feeling sick? If I had known, I wouldn't have given you so much extra work these past few days. Whatever. Go up to bed. I am going to find the thermometer. No buts. Go.NOW!" and he started searching frantically through all of the drawers and cupboards.

I started to get up, but the second I did, I felt really light headed, and everything was spinning. I was falling down, but Carter must have noticed, because I was just about to hit the ground, when I felt him catch me and help me up. Normally, I wouldn't let him, and if he had tried to help me, it would have resulted in him getting his but kicked, but I actually needed help, and I was so weak that I probably couldn't even hit him hard enough. He did have enough sense not to try and help me upstairs to my room though.

"WALT" He screamed.

"Carter, loud." I said, hoping that he would get the message.

"Sorry Sadie, I didn't think about that." Then Walt walked in.

"Yeah Carter?" He asked. Walt could easily pick me up and carry me, even if I was kicking and screaming. Carter was smart, but I was totally going to get him back when I was better."

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I need you to take Sadie upstairs, and then could you stay with her for a while. I have to go talk to Jaz about Sadie and see how serious this is. I'm really sorry, but since she is sick, you might have a bit more to do. But if it gets to be too much, because of your ummm… you know, just tell me. Again, really sorry." Carter replied. Walt just nodded, and scooped me up and brought me upstairs to my room.

I must have fallen asleep, because one second I was thinking about everything that I would rather be doing than being sick, and the next minute, Carter is waking me up. I felt worse than what I did earlier, and I really wished that Carter had just let me sleep.

"Sadie, we know that you probably feel like crap, but we just thought that you should know what is going to happen." He paused, probably to give me the chance to wake up for a second, so that I would actually understand what he was saying, instead of it just going in one ear and out the other. Then Jaz started to speak. "Sadie, you have a very rare illness. Not very many people get this illness, but it is VERY, VERY, VERY serious. You will be able to stay in your room, but you have to promise not to get up. If you do, then we will have to put you on 24/7 watch. Do you understand?" She asked. I nodded, because I felt to sick to say anything. I hated the idea of having to stay in bed for an infinite period of time. Then Jaz started speaking again. "Good. Now try and get back to sleep." And she, Carter, and Walt walked out of the room and closed the door.

A few hours later, I woke up again, and I didn't care about what Jaz said, I didn't want to be stuck in my room all day. I pushed off my covers, and got out of bed, I started towards the door, but I felt really sick, and I didn't have anytime to think, because I just collapsed on the ground and started puking my guts out. I heard footsteps, and then when I was able to take a break from puking to breathe, the door opened, and Anubis walked in. He looked at the puke on the floor, me, hunched over, and without saying anything, walked over to me and rubbed my back. When I started puking again, he held back my hair. The next time that I was able to take a breather, he ran into my bathroom and grabbed a ponytail holder. He quickly pulled back my hair and began rubbing my back again. He stayed with me until I was done puking, and then went to get Jaz. When she came back upstairs, she cleaned up the puke, but by the time she was done, I had fallen asleep.

Carter's POV

So Sadie was sick. I knew that she was going to be on death's door, so I called the only guy I knew that had the power to control death. At first, Anubis was mad that I was bugging him, but when he heard about Sadie, he said that he would come right over. A few seconds later, there was a pop, and he appeared.

"Okay, what's wrong with Sadie?" He half asked, half demanded.

"Well, she is really sick already, and she is going to get a whole lot worse. Jaz says that she has never seen anything like it before. Sadie is confined to bed, and is not supposed to get up unless she has to go to the bathroom. We thought that you would want to know." I told him. He was just about to say something, when there was a loud crash from upstairs. "Sadie!" we exclaimed unanimously. He ran upstairs, and I knew that it would be better if it was just him who went to see what was wrong.

I hated seeing Sadie sick. I was used to seeing her so strong, and it was really weird to see her have to depend on other people to stay alive. I was really worried about what had happened, when I heard Walt scream.

"CARTER! I NEED A LITTLE BIT OF HELP PLEASE!" he yelled. I ran into the living room, and I saw some of the kids attacking him. They had even gotten the ankle biters involved. I pulled the kids off of Walt, and helped him up. Then, it was lecture time.
