Piper POV

As we all sat down so Percy could read. Jason and I sat with Leo along with hazel on one of the sofas. Carter Nico and Sadie sat with frank on the other sofa. Percy and Annabeth sat in the armchairs.

After we all settled Percy said " ok now I'll start Chapter one"

One A Death at the Needle

Carter

We only have a few hours, so listen carefully. If you're hearing this story, you're already in danger.

Then Leo interrupted by saying " why would we be in danger?"

Carter said " you'll find out later" Leo groaned mug motioned for Percy to continue.

Sadie and I might be your only chance. Go to the school. Find the locker. I won't tell you which school or which locker, because if you're the right person, you'll find it. The combination is 13/32/33. By the time you finish listening you'll know what those numbers mean. Just remember the story were about to tell you isn't complete yet. How it ends will depend on you.

This time I was the one who interrupted Percy by saying " wow Carter no pressure" he said " well it's true we needed more magicians to train. Percy can you just keep reading" Percy nodded and continued to read.

The most important thing: when you open the package and find what's inside, don't keep it longer than a week. Sure it'll be tempting. I mean, it will grant you almost unlimited power.

Everyone in the room except the Kane's had a look of awe on there face.

But if you possess it too long, it will consume you.

There were some "Oh's" from some people. When I looked around I saw Nico looking at Sadie. He looked at Sadie in a way that told me everything. Nico must have a crush on Sadie. I should talk to him about it later.

Percy continued.

Learn it's secrets quickly and pass it on. Hide it for the next person, the way Sadie and I did for you. Then be prepared for your life to get very interesting.

Sadie snorted and said " yes interesting that's one way to put it" after she was done Percy continued.

Okay, Sadie is telling me to stop stalling and get o with the story.

All the boys shouted " thank you Sadie" Sadie looked around and noticed Nico looking at her Nico quickly looked away. Anyway Percy continued.

I guess it started in London, the night our father blew up the British museum.

Percy Leo and Nico all shouted " awesome" while Annabeth just sat there with a horrified look.

My name is Carter Kane. I'm fourteen and my home is a suitcase.

You think I'm kidding? Since I was eight years old, my dad and I have traveled the world. I was born in L.A. but my dad's am archaeologist, so his work takes him all over. Mostly we go to Egypt, since that's his specialty. Go into a bookstore, find a book about Egypt, there's a pretty good chance it was written by Dr. Julius Kane.

Annabeth suddenly said " wait you're dad is Julius Kane" Sadie said " yes he was now can we keep going" after she said that Percy started to read.

You want to know how Egyptians pulled the brains out of mummy's,

I said " um no thanks I'm good" then Sadie said " me too" Carter said " but Sadie don't you know how they did that by now. I mean with who you hang out with wouldn't he tell you all about those things"

Sadie was blushing so much a tomato would be jealous. Speaking of jealous Nico didn't look to happy with this. But suddenly Sadie said " brother dear, I haven't seen him since the gods retreated into the heavens" she said that in a way that made it clear she was ready to kill him but Carter just said " well I just thought since you go to the graveyard so often you were meeting him"

Finally Sadie snapped. She calmly walked over to Carter and whispered something to him. After she was finished all the color in Carter suddenly went away. But before Sadie could say anything a bright light illuminated the room and out of it three figures stepped out.

One was a woman in a leopard print body suit which Sadie ran up and greeted her with a hug. The second figure was Grover. And the third figure was someone who I didn't think would be here it was Apollo. When try appeared a new sofa appeared.

After everyone worked out there new seats it ended up like this. Frank Grover and Annabeth sat in the first sofa. Leo Jason hazel and I sat on the second sofa. The new woman Nico Sadie and Carter sat in the third sofa and Apollo and Percy sat in the arm chairs. When everyone was settled Sadie said " this is Bast the Egyptian goddess of cats" she said as she motioned to the new woman.

Everyone introduced themselves again and Grover and Apollo introduced themselves. Finally Sadie asked Bast " Bast why are you here?" Bast said " I am here to protect my kittens plus I heard you talking about the dog and I wanted to make sure he wasn't here"

Sadie said " first of all Bast he is not a dog and second why do we need protecting" Bast just looked at our group suspiciously. Before she could say anything Nico said " by the way who are you talking about" he asked it in a casual way but his eyes showed jealousy.

Then Sadie said " you'll find out in the book. Now let's finish this chapter shall we" with that Percy started to read again.

Or built the pyramids, or cursed king tuts tomb? My dad is your man. Of course there are other reasons my dad moved around so much, but I didn't know his secret back then.

Leo said " what secret?" Annabeth answered this time she said " we'll find out later in the book"

Percy started to read again.

I didn't go to school. My dad homeschooled me, if you can call it "home" schooling when you don't have a home. He sort of taught me whatever he thought was important, so I learned a lot about Egypt and basketball stats and my dad's favorite musicians. I read a lot too—pretty much anything I could get my hands on,

Percy suddenly said " you would fit in well with the Athena kids"they looked confused then we remembered we haven't told them about us so after a quick explanation we reintroduced ourselves. Once we got too Nico he said " Nico di Angelo son of hades" Carter then said " hades is the Greek god of the dead right" Nico said " yep"

Carter laughed and said " did you hear that Sadie son of a god of death. Doesn't that sound like someone else we know." Sadie turned bright red and Bast eyed Nico with disdain. Sadie said " ok Percy can you start reading before I personally strangle my brother" after Sadie said that Percy started reading.

From my dad's history books to fantasy novels—because I spent a lot of time sitting around in hotels and airports and dig sites in foreign countries I didn't know anybody. My dad was always telling me to put the book down and play some ball. You ever try to start a game of pick-up basketball in Aswan, Egypt? It's not easy.

Percy thought aloud he said " I wonder why it was hard" Carter said " it was mainly because I didn't know there language" Percy just said " oh" and started to read.

Anyway, my dad trained me early to keep all my possessions in a single suitcase that fits in an airplane's overhead compartment. My dad packed the same way, except he was allowed an extra work bag for his archaeology tools. Rule number one: I was not allowed to look in his workbag. That's a rule I never broke until the day of the explosion.

Nico and Sadie both said " wait you didn't look in his bag" at the same time once they said that they blushed and turned away from each other. Carter said " no I didn't" and Leo said "you said the same thing at the same time haha" after he said that Sadie and Nico blushed even more. After a minute Percy started to read again.

It happened on Christmas Eve.

Leo said " bummer"

We were in London for visitation day with my sister, Sadie.

See, Dad's only allowed two days a year with her —one in the winter, one in the summer

I said " that's so terrible why would you have to be separated like that" Carter and Sadie looked a little sad but Bast answered my question. She said " you'll see later in the book" after she said that Percy started to read again.

Because our grandparents hate him. After our mom died, her parents ( our grandparents ) had this big court battle with Dad. After six lawyers, two fistfights, and a near fatal attack with a spatula (don't ask)

Frank said " wait what happened with the spatula thing" Sadie said " let's just say it sent three spectators, two lawyers and Carter and I to the E.R" Nico looked at Sadie with concern written on his face. I mean it's so obvious he likes Sadie. Anyway back to the book.

They won the right to keep Sadie with them in England. She was only six, two years younger than me, and they couldn't keep us both— at least that was their excuse for not taking me. So Sadie was raised as a British schoolkid, and I traveled around with my dad. We only saw Sadie twice a year, which was fine with me.
