Maria's POV
Ok, so this beast was on top of me, and it was drooling on me. Disgusting right? If you said yes, you would be correct!
The creature was canine-looking, with ears that stuck out a bit. It was staring down at me with these intelligent chocolate brown eyes. It was a black dog, I realized, and it seemed to recognize me.
"It's hideous!" Misty shrieked.
"Shut up! It's just a jackal, Misty!" I told her. Suddenly, the creature stood up on its hind legs and it started to change in front of my eyes. When it was done, I saw that it was a girl with long, black hair that had two electric blue streaks in it. She was wearing a black top with golden sleeves made out of lace, with black acid washed jeans and some black converse.
"It's hideous!" Misty shrieked again.
"Hey! I have feelings you know!" the girl yelled. "Guys! It's okay to come out!" Suddenly, I recognized the girl, she was the head counselor of the Anubis cabin. I think her name was Peyton or something. A falcon and a wolf burst out of the forest, and they started to change too. The wolf changed into a girl with chocolate brown eyes like Peyton's and black hair. She was wearing black skinny jeans, a metallica t-shirt, and batman hi-tops. The falcon changed into a boy with green eyes and brown hair. He was wearing a golden t-shirt, and silver pants. He also had hiking boots on, and strapped to his thigh was a hunting knife. I recognized the girl as Ace, from the Anubis cabin, but the boy, well, I didn't know him. He must have been one of the Warriors of Horus that arrived at camp a few days ago.
"Who are you?" Mateo asked the boy.
"I am Kai, one of the warriors of Horus." Kai told us.
"I like you. Say, are you single?" Misty asked him while throwing him a flirty smile.
"Misty!" Mateo and I yelled at the same time.
"I was just asking…" she grumbled.
"It's okay. I am single, but I hope to do something about that soon." He said, all the while staring at Ace. Ace started to blush and Peyton's face started to turn bright red, and I don't think it was from blushing. It was obvious that both of them liked Kai, and Kai liked Ace, so Peyton was angry at Ace. Oh my gods. I think Misty is rubbing off on me. I'm starting to sound like a Hathor girl.
"Hi Maria! Hi Mateo! Hi… you." Peyton said to all of my group. Misty and Peyton glared at each other, and I suddenly remember how Mateo had told me that a week ago when the Warriors of Horus had first came, Peyton asked Misty to ask her mom to make Kai fall in love with her. It didn't happen, and it was pretty obvious Peyton was mad at Misty.
"So… what are you guys doing out here? It'd the last day. I thought everyone else would be at the entrance to the terrain." Ace said, breaking the tension.
"We're on our way over there. Say… what are you guys doing out here?" Mateo asked them.
Peyton blushed. "Well… we all thought we needed more training, so were going to come out at the last minute…"
"Well, hey, there's only a few minutes left in the survival thing. Want to come with us?" Maria asked them all. Peyton nodded. We all went over, and I as we exited the terrain, I heard somebody yell,
"Hey! The non-year rounders are here!" I looked over to the road by the camp and saw a bus pulling up. Out stepped a bunch of people, like Justin and Julius Kane*, sons of Anubis, Tatiana Hart, daughter of Hathor, my half-brother, Alex Thames, Kaya Storm, daughter of Tefnut, some new kid who I later learned was named Grey Uglamore, and Leona Ember, daughter of Sekhmet. Ace and Peyton ran to Justin and Julius and gave them both hugs.
"Hey guys! How have you guys been? How's your mum, guys?" Peyton was asking them.
"She's fine, we're fine, and what's up? Anything new going on?" Julius told them.
"You didn't hear from dad? Apophis has risen again, after your mom and her friends defeated him! A bunch of kids are on a quest to retrieve Ra's crook and flail! Oh, and one of them is a child of Ra!" Ace told them.
"A child of Ra? Are you serious? What's his name?" Justin asked.
"She's serious, and his name is Martin Beam, and his little sister's over there, and her name is Amber." Peyton said. Meanwhile, I saw Mateo and Misty talking to Tatiana, and Sophia and her boyfriend Carter talking to Leona, so I decided to go talk to Alex.
"What's up, Alex?" he said, after I pried him away from his girlfriend Kaya.
"You didn't hear? On the way here we were attacked and some child of Thoth was eaten!" He told me.
"Really? Tell me what happened!" I told him, and we walked toward our cabin, while he was telling me the story.
Sabina's POV
When I woke up, after we had exited the portal and I blacked out, I saw that we were in front of some huge, red palace. I saw Martin, Amber, Janie, and Zane were talking, while Ben, Katie, and Julie were looking at a map of the palace. I walked over to Janie and whispered,
"Where are we?"
"We're at the palace of Isfet, and it's a good thing we have Zane, because he knows the place really well." She whispered back, and I knew what she meant, because before we got in the portal, she and Zane had told everybody that Zane was a child of Isfet. Suddenly, Sarah said, "Hide! It's Apophis' smaller snake form!" so we all hid in the bushes. It was disgusting. It was all black, with glowing red eyes and small black wings. I looked higher, and I saw that a lady with black hair and red armor was riding on it. The snake looked directly at the spot where Martin was hiding and said in a deep, raspy voice, "Well, if it isn't the son of my old enemy." As if in a trance Martin stood up and started moving towards him. Martin then regained sense and said,
"Guys! Now!"
Zane and Martin attacked Apophis, and then the lady started to summon demons and monsters. She then dismounted, and started to run away, but none of us could do anything about, as we were all fighting the monsters and Apophis.
"Ben! Call your dad! Pray to him! Get him to come!" I whispered when I passed him. He sliced the demon he was fighting into sand, and then he whispered,
"He won't listen! He never does!"
"Just do it!" I half yelled, half whispered. He ran behind a rock and sat down, and he closed his eyes, and I could tell he was praying. I looked around and saw Sarah get blasted back by a demon, and then I saw Janie controlling a mass of scorpions that was totally destroying a small group of serpopards. Katie, who had looked stronger ever since we got here, was blasting a giant crocodile into smithereens. Julie was summoning different spell and defeating monsters left and right. I turned to see Martin and Zane fighting Apophis, and Zane seemed to be changing forms, sometimes a snake, a falcon, or a normal teenager. Martin seemed to be on fire, which was almost true. He was on fire because Ra was helping him, giving him a blessing. Suddenly, a golden glow lit the sky, and a 14 year-old boy was standing there. He was wearing leather armor, and he had golden and silver eyes and a small crown. It was Horus, here to save us.
"Hello, children. Hello, Benjamin. Now boys, why don't you let me take over fighting Apophis?" He said, and then he launched himself at Apophis.
"Martin, go help Sarah! I'm going to go get my mother." Zane said, and then he ran at the lady. Only later did I realize that blood was soaking his shirt. When he reached the lady, the wind picked up, lightning flashed, and wherever Zane or the lady stepped, a mini dust devil started. The lady launched herself at Zane, and they started to fight. I assume I imagined it, but I thought I saw the faint image of a golden haired lady dressed in all white fighting with him. Zane was slashing with knives, and the lady was fighting with a huge sword. After a while of everybody fighting, and me making a demon where Jewish clothes, and then summoning the ghost of Hitler to beat him up, Zane just fell. Just as soon as Zane had just fallen, the lady and Apophis disappeared. The last monster was fighting with Sarah, and she kicked him off a cliff, right into the middle of a monster camp. The monsters looked up and snarled, and started to run for their weapons. I saw Janie crying by Zane, while Horus, Martin, and Benjamin sat next to her trying to comfort her. I ran over, and saw what was the matter.
Zane was dying.
