Nico POV
After Sadie stopped screaming she just sat there leaning against me. I was really worried as well as mad at Isis but I was also wondering why she would want to control Sadie. This reading thing was supposed to bring peace between the Egyptians and the Greeks. But before I could think anymore I remembered Sadie who was still crying. She was still leaning on me so in an attempt to calm her down I started stroking her hair and telling her it would be ok and that it wasn't real.
After a few minutes another of those portal things appeared and out stepped Sadies father and another person he looked about sixteen but what was weird is he looked very similar to me. When Sadie saw her father she started to sob. Carter said "hi dad why did Isis want control of Sadie if this reading thing is meant to bring peace" her dad said "she didn't give any reasons but right now I think we should focus on helping your sister" Carter said "yeah I didn't know she blamed herself for those people dying" Sadies father said "I don't think anyone did" he walked over to where Sadie and I were sitting and he said to me "hello Nico thank you for comforting my daughter" I said "it's no big deal" then he said to Sadie "Sadie you're mother and I don't blame you for us dying neither do the other people who died in the war. All that was fake nobody blames you" then he hugged her I just had enough time to get out of the way.
When her father hugged her Sadie sat straight up and then slowly relaxed into her fathers hug. Then she said "ok you can let go of me now" Sadies dad chuckled and said "there's the Sadie I know I was starting to get worried that I might have to bring your what do you call them? You're mates" Sadie laughed and said "oh that wouldn't be good first they would be drooling all over Carter witch in turn would make me throw up and then they would ask me all about Anubis it would be nice to see them again I haven't seen them in ages" she blushed a little when she said Anubis but then her dad said "why would your friends be paying attention to your brother as far as I know they've never met him" Sadie said "well they've seen pictures of him. Even thinking about this is making me nauseous" then Carter said "oh cmon it's not that bad just tell him" Sadie sighed and said "they think he's hot" she made gagging motions while her father just laughed then he said in a slightly stern voice "and why would they ask about Anubis" Sadie blushed some and said "well you remember what happened on my birthday right. Well they were there and they saw everything and they saw Anubis and ever since they've been asking when I would come visit and if I would bring my boy friend along. See they think we're together and you have to understand that they are boy crazy and they think that any random boy I even talk to is my boyfriend like when I was eleven. At school there was this boy who I always used to get in fights with and they used to tease me about me fighting with him because I liked him" then her dad said "wait wasn't his name Jake Alden. Whenever I would get called by your school they would say you beat him up for no reason" Sadie said "yeah I always dot detention because he was the principals son. I'm still surprised they had your phone number I never told anyone other than Liz and Em who my dad was and they only had gran and gramps number" then surprisingly her phone rang. I didn't even know she had a phone with her and apparently she didn't either.
When she looked at her phone she laughed and said "speak of the devil it's Liz and Em" then she read whatever her friends texted her and she said "they want to hang out. Wow
it's just like old times except now I have to travel hundreds of miles instead of a couple of blocks" she looked sad until her friends texted her then she blushed and said "wow they must be watching me or something" Carter said "what did they say now" Sadie said "they said "unless you are hanging out with Anubis" I've told them countless times that he is not my boyfriend" then Sadies dad said "well technically you are hanging out with him since he's right here" that's when Sadie seemed to noticed the boy. When she saw him she blushed and said "oh hey Anubis I didn't notice you" he said "hi Sadie I guess you're friends know you well"
Sadie looked sad again as she said " yeah they are the only people who actually seem to understand me well except for James" Carter said "what do you mean and who is James" Sadie said "well to answer your first question they know what I'm thinking and they know me better than I know my self" Sadie said "well it's hard to explain. He's my best friend but he's also like my brother we always used to be together along with Liz and Em. Liz and Em were always there for me but James acted like we were siblings I haven't talked with him in so long I think I'm going to call him besides I actually I left some of my stuff at his house" Carter was looking a little uncomfortable but he said "why was your stuff at his house" she said "well I spent so much time at his house I just started leaving some of my clothes there so if I decided to sleep over I didn't have to go back to gran and gramps flat to get clothes" before anyone could ask anything else Sadies phone rang and she said "he must be with Liz and Em" then she answered her phone and I heard a voice on the other end of the line. This is what I could hear:
*what Nico could hear*
James: hey little sis
Sadie: hey bro and you know we are the same age right
James: I know but you have to admit I'm taller than you
Sadie: fine but anyway I was just about to call you
James: oh what for
Sadie: one I haven't talked to you in ages and two I wanted to see if you still have my old clothes but why were you calling me
James: well I haven't talked to you since you moved but also Liz and Em are here and I would like to talk to this Anubis character
Sadie: James we are not dating I repeat we are not dating
James: Liz and Em told me he kissed you is that true
I was hoping that her friends had made it up but she said
Sadie: yes it is but that was one time
James: is he there with you
Sadie: no
James: then who is talking
Unfortunately Anubis and Osiris just said goodbye to Sadie and Carter when he said that
Sadie: um that's Carter
James: don't try to lie to me I'm the one who taught you to lie I know when you're lying
Sadie: fine that was him
Osiris already left but Anubis was still here when Sadie said that
James: then let me talk to him you know I will come there if I have to
Sadie: fine but don't go all overprotective brother on him like you did last time
James: fine but in my defense he did put his hands a little to low for my liking
Sadie: yeah but I had already gave him a bloody nose you didn't have to body slam him into the light pole
James: just hand me over
Sadie: fine
Sadie walked over to Anubis and said "sorry he's a little sensitive about the guy's I know so just be careful if you get him mad enough he will well let's hope that won't happen" I could hear James talking and he did sound very protective of Sadie.
James: hello is this Anubis
Anubis: yeah
James: well I have a few questions
Sadie groaned and said " ugg I hate when he questions guys it's so embarrassing I mean he always asks the worst questions"
Anubis: ok
James: do you care about my sis- I mean Sadie
Anubis: of course I do
When he said that I could tell he meant it
James: good ok has Sadie told you about the time she almost-
Before he could say anything Sadie yelled "no he hasn't and I would like it to stay that way" I heard James laugh as he said
James: Sadie never tells anybody that story not even her own brother
Carter looked a little mad but Sadie said "well looks like you're mom is here to pick you up bye Anubis" she took her phone back while he left she said
Sadie: James Carter is hear too and now I have him wanting to hear that story
James: so Anubis is gone
Sadie: yes
James: good I want to tell you something very important
Sadie: what is it
James: I know your a magician
Sadie: what
James: yeah I know but just believe me
Sadie: then what nome are you from
James: I'm a charm maker In the ninth nome in London
Sadie: but I've been there like three times
James: yeah I've just found out a week ago
Sadie: that's so great but right now I have some business to attend to
James: ok bye Sadie
Sadie: bye James see you soon
When she hung up her phone she said "I can't believe that James is one of us" but Carter said "he called you his little sister" Sadie said "yeah like I said we were like siblings and we got into the habit of calling each other things like that" Carter didn't look to happy about that but he said "ok let's get back to reading before anything else crazy happens" Sadie grinned and said " and I'll continue planning my revenge. That's right I haven't forgotten but now I have to plan revenge for Isis too" when we sat down it ended up like this:
Couch 1: me, Sadie, Carter
Couch 2: piper, Leo, Jason, and frank
Couch 3: Percy, Annabeth, hazel, and Grover
Arm chairs: Apollo and Bast
I forgot Bast was here but I understand why she wasn't talking to Anubis or Osiris when she said "Sadie why did that dog have to be here for so long" Sadie said " Bast he's not a dog. Let's just start reading" Percy nodded and started reading
I could hear Dad in the drivers seat, rummaging in his bag, mumbling something to himself while the mob yelled and destroyed things outside. A few minutes later he told me it was safe to get up. Every other car on the block had been overturned and set on fire. Our car had been freshly washed and polished, and several twenty-euro notes had been tucked under the windshield wipers.
Anyway, I'd come to respect the bag. It was our good luck charm. But when my dad kept it close, it meant we were going to need good luck.
We drove through the city center, heading east toward my grandparents flat. We passed the golden gates of Buckingham palace, the big stone column in Trafalgar Square. London is a pretty cool place, but after you've traveled for so long, all cities start to blend together. Other kids I meet sometimes say, "Wow, you're so lucky you get to so much." But it's not like we spend our time sightseeing or have a lot of money to travel in style.
Sadie said "well at least you got to see dad" Annabeth also said "and you got to travel" Carter looked a little uncomfortable but he said "yeah I guess" Sadie looked a little sad again but she also had a look of mischief that meant whatever she was planning wasn't going to end well for Carter. But Percy continued reading.
We've stayed in some pretty rough places, and we hardly ever stay anywhere longer than a few days. Most of the time it feels like we're fugitives rather than tourists.
Percy stopped reading and said "I feel you bro"
