Hello everyone! Thank you for the correct spelling of Zia's name. I didn't have my book with me at the time because I was in the car. I didn't tell you what Sadie's dress looked like in the last chapter for a reason. Thanks for the wonderful reviews!

Wow, Sadie was right about her friends. Very, very crazed. Sadie was out dress shopping with her crazed friends, having a good time while I was sitting on a bench outside of Dairy Queen eating ice cream and sulking. I miss Zia so much.
CRASH! A girl that was obviously in a hurry ran around the corner away from the source of the noise. The girl had tan skin and dark hair. Her eyes were rimed with kohl and were an intimidating gold color. Zia!
I ran to meet her, but she just grabbed my arm and ran. My first thought was, what are we running from? My second thought was, OW! Zia has a tight grip!
We ran and ran until my arm started to turn purple.
"We should be safe here." Zia pulled me into the ally between what looked like a drugstore and some kind of clothing store.
"What were we running from?" I said. I flexed my arm as it tuned back to its normal color.
"Nothing important." We just leaned against the brick wall, trying to catch our breath. "Listen, Carter, I have to try to blend with you and Sadie. The house knows that I'm hosting a god and have monsters and magicians coming after me."
"Alright, let's go to the mall."

After we went shopping for dresses, we stopped at a stand that was selling fruit smoothies.
"SADIE!"
"Bloody hell, Carter, don't do that!" gasping after he ran up behind me.
"Look, Zia is back. She needs to blend in with us at school 'cause the house is after her for, you know, the whole hosting a goddess thing." I look over Carter's shoulder and see Zia looking down at a man with a very odd expression. She obviously never been to a mall and the man was trying to sell her something.
Carter walked over to her and said something to the man. Probably: 'Sorry. Not interested.' or something like that.
"Oh boy we have a lot of work to do!" I say when Carter walks back over with Zia. "And you're not going to be much of a help either seeing that you have been home schooled for most of your life. Okay let's do it!"
Thank you for reading. Review!
