Chapter 2 -

Gaia

I decided to stick to Carter. No one will try to murder me if he is around… I hope. I've been here a week and managed to stand on sixteen different pyramids, 'confiscate' one hundred and thirty ancient Egyptian artifacts, punch four police officers in the face and sit on the sphinx another eight times. Zia hates my guts. I don't know why. She just does. I would laugh but she would give me her evil glare and that's enough to put you off Egypt. She is about to give me another lecture on being careful and give me all this crap about me only being a burden and blah, blah, blah. SOMEONE SEND ME TO HELL NOW! I think my head is going to explode if I hear this one more time and that's just going to be a mess. No one wants to see the contents of my head splattered on the wall, though Zia may shut up if that does happen. She is about to start speaking when Sadie walks in.

"Emergency meeting, now." She says. Zia scowls at me and then follows her outside of the chamber. A cobra is sliding inside. It looks me straight in the eyes.

"If you bite Zia the next time she's going to do that I will bring you every dead animal I find for the next month." I offer. Sure. I can understand what anything is saying. It doesn't matter what language or species the living thing is, I can always understand it.

"Hey, you coming?" Carter asks poking his head through the curtain.

"As long as it means I am being moved to England." I reply. He laughs. He told me that no one here has a sense of humour. So I guess it's refreshing to hear someone commenting on life in a way that is… not boring. I follow him to the 'Emergency meeting'.

"It's about time, you two." Walt says. I sit down next to him as everyone else in the room was giving me the 'death stare'.

"Now, we can begin." Sadie says. "Amos?"

"Yes. Someone has taken the Book of Ra. Now, this is serious because those scrolls are still partially cursed." Amos says. Everyone looks at me.

"What?"

"Where are they?" Zia growls at me. Some people just don't get me.

"Look. I do many things. I have possessed many things. One of the things I have never possessed is a scroll." That was a lie. I have one scroll that I got from my parents but that is it.

"Come on, Gaia. Just give it." Sadie says.

"Sorry but I don't have it."

"She's telling the truth." A deep voice declares. I mean it; he shouted that out like it was a message from the Queen. "We searched her room."

"Ok. I am moving out. There's no privacy in this place." I say, throwing my hands in the air and letting my annoyance show in my voice.

"Well, you won't have the chance to."

"Huh?"

"We're transferring you to the 21st Nome with Carter." Sadie says.

"What? Hey! That's no fair!" Carter shouts.

"Someone has to watch her."

"But why me?"

"Carter, the decision has been made." Amos intercedes. I put on a disappointed act and don't say anything more through the meeting. We are immediately sent to the 21st Nome. My location skills told me I am in Brooklyn.

"I hate your sister." I tell him.

"Sorry but there's nothing we can do."

"At least everyone is over in the 1st."

"That doesn't make sense."

"It means that there's more privacy!"

"Oh, right." He sounds like an idiot and doesn't realise it. I look around. This place doesn't seem that bad. It's modern and air-conditioned and NOT IN THE DESERT! Which is epic.

"If this wasn't in America then I might actually enjoy myself here." I comment. I look around. There's a baboon and an alligator here but other signs of life = none.

"Come on, I'll give you a tour." Carter offers. Actually, it's more of a command than an offer but you know. I'll pretend I have an option. I follow him as he shows me around the big building.

Let's just skip the tour because the only highlight of it was Gaia "accidently" knocking him into the alligator's cage/tank thing.

One Week Later…

Gaia

I can never sleep in Egyptian places, even in Brooklyn I am failing at sleeping. And sleeping isn't exactly an Olympic sport. I hear someone's thoughts in the building. It isn't Carter. I know who it is though. I creep out into the dining area and come face to face with the person who hates me worst in the world…

Carter

Some very loud, sudden noises wake me up. I sit blot upright in bed and listen. It sounds like a fight. If Zia teleported here to stab Gaia, she is going to get some serious crap coming to her. I walk in and find Gaia wrestling with a girl I have never seen before. She looks like she just came back from a fairy-themed birthday party.

"Carter, help me out here?" Gaia says. The phone starts ringing. I answer.

"Hello?"

"Carter is that you?"

"Yep."

"Good, we need you. Apophis has ambushed."

"What? I'll be right there!" I say and hang up. I take one look at Gaia. She'll be fine. I turn to see a portal waiting. I run straight into it.

Sadie

I hope Carter is true to his word because we are losing. Iris and I re-combined to try and give us an advantage. Zia did the same with Nepthys. Apophis is about to eat Walt when Carter suddenly appears, merges with Horus and strikes Apophis in the head with a very big sword. Osiris/Dad and Anubis join the battle. Walt uses his special move with a boost from Dad/Osiris and Anubis. Apophis turns to dust. We know this isn't the end but it's a start…

Carter

We're celebrating our victory over Apophis. I am talking with some magicians I just met when a blinding bright light suddenly flashes everywhere. I turn and what might be the last thing I ever see is there. A blue fairy…
