Disclaimer: the only things I have received ownership of as of 11 AM yesterday are more reviews :) and a big stack of books :(

Run, Sadie, run! Isis shouted in my head.

Why? They're just old ladies, I groggily thought.

Not just old ladies- Greek monsters. And if you've got all three on you- well, let's just say you're in trouble. (A/N: Please tell me you know who they are!)

"You have crossed into Lady Athena's sacred temple, Blood of the Pharaohs," the middle woman hissed, "by magic we have sworn off."

"We have been sent forth from the Palace of Hades," another stepped foreword.

"By the Dark Lord himself. Now, prepare to DIE!" the last continued, and they morphed into creatures with brown leathery skin and wings.

"Crud," Carter stood, sword in hand. "I'll hold them off- you get the book."

"Uh…. Okay," I sprinted across the marble, boots sliding all the while. Taking a tight turn around a pillar, my breath caught in my throat.

"Zia."

Carter POV

.Slash! Jab! Duck! Come on! You can do better than this!

"You're not helping any, Horus," I grunted, and the beast's eyes grew large.

"Lord Horus- Our apologies," they growled, bowing.

"You are forgiven- only if you leave us. Now." Horus took over my body and held it until they flew away.

Horus! I thought you said you wouldn't do that again! Ever! I growled in my mind.

Sorry, he seemed to regret, but it was the only way to get them off you.

Warn me next time!

Sorry. Moment needed to be seized.

What where those things, anyway? I rolled my eyes as I walked across the building to where Sadie disappeared to.

"…Goodbye for now, Sadie Kane," a familiar voice said sorrowfully, and I increased my speed, blocking out Horus' response. Zia.

Crista POV

"What the Hades are you talking about?" I asked.

"You haven't told the girl, Ma'at?" the man I took as Thoth asked.

"I haven't gotten the chance," a foreign presence filled my body and forced me to speak. "I'll come explain everything."

"Not necessary. We can do it," he said with a flick of his hand.

"WHAT THE HADES!" I yelped as it left me.

"Looks like there are more of us," another man, Amos, stood, offering me his hand. "Amos Kane, former host to Set, God of Chaos. My nephew, Carter, and niece, Sadie, are hosts to Horus, the King, and Isis, Goddess of magic. The cat Goddess, Bast, inhabits Sadie's cat, and a friend of ours, Zia Rashid, is host to Nephthys, the river Goddess." Rashid…. Rashid….. Why does that name sound so familiar?

"What now?" Feyda asked. I jumped, having forgotten he was here.

"Looks like you two get the talk again," Mel smirked, slumping into an unoccupied chair, next to Amos, who scooted away.


A/N: Yes, I lied. BUT THAT'S A GOOD THING FOR YOU GUYS! SO press that little button down there. It isn't that hard! I do it all the time! AND VOTE!

Ansa88- Thanks! I hope you do!

olympiangrl (x2)- Thanks, I'll think about it for later on. But I already have my plot outlined and I love it, so watch for it in about two or three months, in the same circumstances as remembering this chapter and chapter 9!

CheyRainAwesomeness (x3)- Well, now you get the next chapter, and thanks. I'll try to stop changing POVs as quickly, but it's my way of creating a bit of suspense and longer chapters.
