Hello. Sorry for the wait. My aunt had a big birthday dinner, and... yeah.
So, I didn't really know what to do with this chapter, so it's probably like a filler chapter, as they call it.
And I'm open to any ideas, so leave them in the reviews.
And actually review. I mean, you guys read this story and basically only 2 of you review. So could you take 30 seconds and leave something in the review box, please? For me?
Here's a taste of the author's daily life: So, like I said, my aunt had a big birthday dinner, and after it was all over, I went to go speak to my cousins. Now just about all my cousins on my dad's side are younger than me, so it was like, 3 year olds.
And they were eating chocolate, and got hyper, so one of my aunts told me to take them somewhere. So, we went and walked around the big building, and one of my cousins name Heiress got sleepy, so I held her, and she likes me, so she got clingy.
And when I came back... my mother was gone.
I found out that they had left.
Anyways, enjoy!
Carter
I was awed. This Greek camp was amazing. But what I really liked was the magical border, and the dragon that guarded the huge tree. The dragon was huge, and according to Leo, it ate over 10 pounds of meat every day.
That's more than what Felix eats in hours.
Anyway, Leo and Piper had gone off to wait for Jason, Frank, and Hazel to come back from... wherever they were, and Sadie, Zia, Walt and I were sitting on the steps of the Big House.
"They seem nice." Sadie said, getting the ball rolling.
"Yeah, I just don't know what to make of having to go save the world, with Greeks." I said.
"It does seem odd, doesn't it?" Zia agreed, cocking her head to the side.
"Especially if it's Setne." Walt mentioned.
"That guy just doesn't know when to stop." Sadie said, shaking her head.
There was silence for a few beats. "I don't even know how we're going to beat this guy. He's way too clever, and... complicated for us to outthink him." I realized.
Sadie sighed. "What confuses me is... who is powerful enough to enchant The Book of Thoth's pages?" She turned to Walt hopefully.
He shook his head. "I don't even know. I haven't really been around that long."
Sometimes I forgot that he is, like 5,000 years old, and yet he is considered very young for a god.
"Why can't we get rid of him? He's... bloody dead, and been that way for 3,000 years!" Sadie asked, exasperated.
"There are just some things you can't erase." Zia said, slumping a little.
I took her hand. "It'll be okay. We handled him before, and we can do it again. And this time, we'll have help."
She smiled at me. "Thanks Carter."
I smiled back. "You're welcome." I said leaning in.
"Ugh. Gag me." Sadie said, making a face. I rolled my eyes at her.
"Whatever Sadie. Get over yourself." I told her.
"I'm just sayin', if you're gonna make out with your girlfriend, do it somewhere I can't see you."
"You know Sadie," Walt started, taking her hand, tracing patterns along it, "You don't seem to mind people making out if you're involved.'
"Uhh... I...ahh." she stammered. I knew what he was doing. He was trying to distract Sadie so she wouldn't say anything else.
"And," he said, moving his hand up along her arm, "saying you don't like something, then turning around and doing it would make you a hypocrite. Wouldn't want to do that, now would we?"
"...nn-no." Sadie said, shivering a little.
"So, we won't do that again, now will we?" Walt asked gently.
"No." Sadie agreed.
"Good." Walt said, gently pulling away from her.
"Okay." Sadie said weakly.
I smiled at Walt, and he winked back at me. It was nice to know that I wasn't the only one who thought Sadie was annoying at times.
"So, what time is this 'Rachel' supposed to get here anyway?" Zia asked.
"Leo said at 4:00, and it's 3:45 now." I said, checking my watch. Sadie thinks it makes me look like an old dad, because she doesn't know any other guy who wears one.
I told her to shut up.
"Do you think we should head in?" Zia asked, concerned.
I thought about it a little, then shook my head. "Nah. Let's just hang for a while."
Sadie apparently was shaken out of her trance, because the next thing I knew, she punched Walt in the chest.
"OW!" he exclaimed, with a faint smile.
"I know what you did." she said with clenched teeth.
"But... you couldn't stop it, now could you?" he said, cockily.
"You little... you know I can't think straight when you do that!"
"I know. That's why I did it. Somebody had to. And I don't think your brother would have liked it."
Sadie grimaced. "No. You're right. I wouldn't have liked it. I'd rather die first."
Zia laughed. I glared at her. "Sorry. Sadie's funny."
Sadie flipped her hair and gave me a brilliant smile. "I am hilarious, aren't I?"
Walt and I simultaneously rolled our eyes.
"No, you're just aggravating." I corrected.
"You're just jealous because you aren't funny. Poor Zia. She has no one to make her laugh." Sadie pretended to be sympathetic.
"Carter does make me laugh." Zia said.
"But the difference is that you laugh at him, and you laugh with me." Sadie replied.
Zia looked at me, then back at Sadie. "You know, I think you're right."
I was shocked. "Are you really on her side right now?"
"That's the thing about woman, Carter. They can never be trusted." Walt said.
Sadie looked like she was about to say something, then waited a while, then finally decided what to say.
"You know what? You're so right, Walt Stone. Such a strong woman like myself can never be permanetely settled."
"For such a strong woman, it was funny to see you basically being controlled by Walt." I mentioned.
Walt smirked.
"That wasn't Walt Stone. That was Anubis there, and I'm still mad." Sadie glared at Walt.
"Hey, it isn't my fault I'm mesmerizing." Walt said.
"Bloody gods." Sadie muttered.
Again, I am sorry this is a short chapter. And a filler one. I didn't know what to write. It's just the magicians talking to each other.
Do you wanna agree with me on how bad this sucked? Do it in the reviews!
And plzzzz actually review. It makes me happy!
Don't eat flowers, watch Tyler Perry, and you CAN'T fly. So Sorry.
There's a difference between being missed, and being forgotten.
