HELLOOOOO READERRRSSS…..! Kelsey here! This is my third Kane Chronicles fanfic, and if you HAVE read my Combining Magic FanFiction, this will make a whole lot more sense. So I do recommend reading that first. Okay so, anyway, this has to do with my OC Sarah Saturday: half magician, half Demi-god, and her adventures in her crazy double life. Soooooo, ENJOY!

Chapter 1:

I had chosen not to go with Annabeth, Percy, and the others for the picnic with the Kane's. I was still too embarrassed at how I reacted to the whole magician/Demi-god thing. I mean, I acted kind of like a five year old. Zack would never admit it, but I'm sure he was just as shocked at how I was acting.

Then there is the situation with my mother. She didn't want me to go to the camp, or Brooklyn House for that matter. She said something about her being exiled from the House of life, which I was still confused about, and she didn't want me to be a part of it. She also didn't want to admit that there were Greek gods as well. She told me that if I went to camp, don't bother to go back home, because I wouldn't be welcomed. I thought it was harsh, even for my mother. My mother was mean, she was selfish, and she was vain. Like the evil queen in Snow White, minus the poisonous apples and seven dwarves. But she had never told me to never return home.

I was sitting on the top of the hill at Camp Half-blood, hoping for some miracle, that this wasn't real. I was just sitting there, mindlessly staring into space when a voice called to me.

"Sarah!" Zack yelled to me as he jogged up the hill. My heart skipped a little beat, yes Zack and I were friends, but lately I had been feeling something else. But it didn't matter, he wouldn't want to date me anyway, I was 'the freak' now. Did I think Zack was good looking, hell yes! He looked like Niall from one direction, maybe even cuter, with dark roots, blonde hair, instead of blue eyes he had dark chocolate brown. All the girls keep looking at him, Drew especially. Zack had been placed as a son of Hephaestus. And to think, we grew up together, our moms were best friends, and now so are we.

"Oh, hey Zack" I said, regrouping myself.

"What are you doing up here? You know what time it is." He said, nudging me with his shoulder. I smiled a little.

"I know, dinner. I was just, thinking." I said.

"Well, stop thinking and let's go. I'm going to sit with you tonight." He gave me his hand to pull me to my feet. I grabbed on and he pulled me up.

"You know that's against rules. So, how's life in the Hephaestus cabin?" I said, elbowing him.

"Then I'll break them. Oh you know; I have a knack for building things, so it's all pretty easy. My new 'brothers and sisters' are pretty cool too." He paused, "How about the Ares cabin?"

"Don't even get me started, this morning Clarisse trashed all of her own things and told Chiron I did it. I told him what really happened, he's now going to talk to Clarisse and I'll most likely get pounded, I'll be sure to include you in my will." I explained.

"Don't worry because if that happens; I'll be right there getting pounded with you." I laughed.

"Are you sure about that? Clarisse is like a bull, a psychotic bull." I reminded him. Zack nodded his head.

"What are best friends for?"

"That's very true, but seriously, I'll deal with Clarisse myself." The truth was; I felt fireworks erupt inside of me at the thought of Zack defending me.

"Sarah, I've known you forever, and with that, I know you aren't very strong." I playfully punched his arm.

"What, you don't think I can stand up to someone three times the size of me? Yeah, probably not." We both laughed; finally we reached the dining hall. Don't even get me started about the food, it was amazing.

I always get the same thing at dinner, my grandma's macaroni and cheese, or Chinese food (which I am in LOVE with). General Tsao Chicken, Pork Lo Mein, fried dumplings, Mmm… Instantly a platter of those foods appeared, along with my favorite soda, Dr. Pepper. I got up and scraped a portion of my Lo Mein into the pit for offerings to the gods. Then I sat back down at the Ares table. Sure enough, when nobody was paying attention, Zack ran over and sat down across from me.

"Hey Sarah, we're going to switch beds okay?" Clarisse said as she sat down across from me. I had somehow managed to get the comfiest bed in the cabin.

"Um, I like the bed I have, sorry Clarisse." I replied.

"No, we are going to switch, you don't have a say."

"I'm not going to switch Clarisse; you can put your bull hide somewhere else." After I said it, I knew I was in trouble. Clarisse punched me in the gut so hard, I flipped over my seat. Zack got up and ran to my side.

"You okay?" He asked.

"Yes, I feel like rainbows and unicorns!" I said sarcastically. He pulled me to my feet then turned to Clarisse.

"Sarah isn't going to switch Clarisse, end of story." Clarisse pulled her electric spear from out of nowhere. I stepped in between them just as Clarisse went to strike. The spear hit me on the hip bone. It stung… a lot. But my instincts took over. She came to strike again, but this time I ducked and swung my leg around to knock her off her feet.

Clarisse hit the ground with a thunk. The Ares kids liked that for some reason, they all clapped and whooped. Great, I made friends with the mean kids. But Clarisse wasn't done with her tricks, she stumbled to her feet and then, she head-butted me. I fell to the ground like a sack of potatoes. I know, a dumb way to go down.

The last thing I heard was Zack's panicked voice, "Somebody help!"

Ooooo…. CLIFHANGER! For those who haven't read Combining Magic, it's a total me thing to do. So get used to it. How'd you all like it? Love it? Virtually hit it with a brick? Let me know. I need 5 reviews in order for you guys to get chapter 2!
