A groan escaped my mouth as my sore body moved again for I don't know how long. I freaked out when I opened my eyes, discovering that the room I was in wasn't mine. I cursed and jumped up quickly then cried out quietly as my leg felt like it had erupted in pain. Looking down at it, I remembered the earlier events and hoped that Ms. Leotard, or whoever she was, had fell, died, then got pulled to hell.
My leg looked like a mummy's. It was wrapped from the ankle to mid-thigh. I knew that they were to cover the scratches on my leg that the creature had put there. Not wanting to ponder on that, I walk, or limped, over to the door then opened it into an empty hallway. I sniffed the air and followed the smell of tuna to a thing of stairs. There wasn't a sound as I descended the stairs and followed the smell into the kitchen to find empty tuna cans stacked up on the counter. I chuckled to myself then walked out on the terrace.
The blonde girl was already out there with another dark skinned boy. This one I didn't know but he was buff like the black guy last night. I turned red and started stammering, "I- I didn't know anybody was- I'll just-"
As I turned back to the door, the blonde's British accent called me back, "Wait! Stay." I froze but had half a mind to run back inside, "What is your name?"
"Z"
Her frowned at that, "Just Z? What is Z short for exactly?"
"None of your fucking business." I growled out. Suddenly, pain rammed into me so hard then I doubled over while trying to breathe through it. I felt a large hand on my back and the blonde appeared in front of me. As my eyes watered, I stood up straight, brushing them off as I walked back into the house, causing the pain to intensify. I began to run back to my room before I ripped in two like I felt when I ran into the black guy from last night. A scream ripped from my chest as I hit the wooden floor.
I heard the blonde girl yell, "Isis, stop it!" He voice was shrill and panic.
A new voice spoke. It was a woman's and held power that I knew I should fear but only felt hatred towards, "Sadie Kane, I refuse to have a Greek in this house."
The girl named Sadie spoke, "Greek? What does it matter? She's a girl!" The two guys knelt next to me and looked for some way to help, "Isis, stop. She is here under Anubis's protection." At that, I could breathe again and the pain was gone. I curled up into a ball while trembling from the after effect.
"Be gone, half-blood." The voice chilled me to my bones and I looked at her, "Or I shall kill your mother." She disappeared and I closed my eyes again. Half-blood? Greek? Mother? My mother is dead.
A few moments after of arguing with myself, I pushed everything aside and sat up then clutched my head as the blood rushed out of it. A arm steadied me then the Sadie crutched in front of me, her British voice fading in and out of my ears, "You… To Anubis?... Hullo?..." Her small hands grasped my shoulders and shook me, "Do you want to be taken to Anubis?" I nodded as my brain rattled around my head with a groan. She nodded to the black guy behind me who picked me up and began walking towards the front door. We walked out and I heard the sound of metal against metal and sizzling of something hot.
The boy set me on my feet at the bottom of the porch. Looking out over the green I saw kids of all ages outside with curved swords, knives, spears, and... boomerangs? Fire was shot through the air, and water twisted into shapes, attacking their opponents. Laughs and curses were flying around. I stared in shock as earth rose quickly into the sky like a tower, on top was a penguin trying to flap away. In the middle of it all was the girl from last night and Anubis. They were battling with staffs. I stared in awe as they twirled and jumped around one another, fire flying from the girl every now and then. She looked slightly tired, but Anubis looked unaffected.
Sadie grabbed my uninjured arm and pulled me through the people straight towards them. I stumbled to keep up with the smaller girl, biting my lip to keep from crying out with each step. When she reached them, they both stopped and looked at her then to me. Anubis was at my side the moment my eyes caught his. I felt an arm wrap around my waist, pulling me closer, and laid my head on his shoulder. "Are you-"
Before his gruff voice could finish, Sadie interrupted, "Isis decided to pay her a visit. And tried to kill her." A growl rumbled loudly through Anubis's chest, making those closest stop and move away a few feet, "What does she mean Z is a Greek?"
He stiffened, "What exactly did my aunt say?" His form grew protective and the arm around my waist tightened. Tremors of pleasure pulsed through my body at his touch. I stomped down the lust and dirty thoughts, leaving only curiosity on the subject Sadie was currently trying to bring up. Tilting my head up, my eyes searched his eyes for answers as he looked down at me.
I looked at Sadie as she began to speak, "Just blah, blah, blah about not having a Greek in the house or that she'll kill her mother." She nodded to me and I felt Anubis grimace.
"Maybe we should go inside to talk." People were staring at us and our exchanged which caused Sadie and I to nod.
