Lost in the Duat: a Sadie Kane/ Will Solace/ Anubis/ Nico Di Angelo fanfiction
Chapter one: Nico's POV/ I want to kill the queen of the universe
I mingled throughout the city streets, occasionally pausing at certain shops, looking for the perfect gift. Will's birthday is next week, and I want to surprise him with something special. I turn the street and see Queen Anne's graveyard. Oh what the heck, I think and pull McDonald's from my pocket. I had to talk to her. I had to talk to Bianca. Inside the graveyard is a girl. She has blond hair with a few red streaks in it. She seems to be crying over one of the gravestones. I've been here so many times, I know exactly which person she is mourning: Ruby Kane. She is about 16, one year older than me. I push the gate open and walk into the graveyard. She turns her head at the sound. She mumbles something under her breath and then runs up to me. After enveloping me in a hug, she pulls me into a kiss. Confused, I pull away. She seems equally puzzled that I pulled away. "What's wrong?" she asks.
"Nothing." I respond, monotone.
"But, you never pull away from me." She replied, sounding a little hurt.
Now I was big-time confused. "Do I know you?"
"ANUBIS! Stop joking with me here." She yells, more angry than hurt now
My mind did a little mental calculus. Anubis, the eygptian god of funerals, can only appear in graveyards. This girl must've mistaken me for her boyfriend, Anubis. If this is the case, I have to set the record straight. "I'm not Anubis. I'm Nico Di Angelo, son of Hades. I'm sorry we had this mix-up but I must go find my sister's gravestone. I need to talk to her….."
"Wait..Hades? You don't happen to know a Perseus Jackson or an Annabeth Chase…..Do you?" she asked
"Just like Percy to know everybody..." I mumbled then replied "Yeah…I do. He rescued me from a manticore five years ago, from King Minos the next year, and about three years later he rescued me from a bronze jar. I proceeded to help him and the rest of the seven close the doors of death. How do you know him?"
The girl responded, "I'm Sadie Kane, of the 21st Nome. My brother and I worked with Percy and Annabeth to defeat Setne before he could turn himself into a god."
"Oh. Okay." Was about all I could think of before walking over to the location where Bianca lay. I scooped up dirt around her gravestone before placing the BigMac inside. She answered me. "Hey Nico. Watcha doin?" she asked
"Nothing much. Been a weird day though, and its only been a few hours. You?" I answered.
"I'm okay…what happened?" she asked.
"I was coming here, and ran into a girl who mistook me for her boyfriend…..found out that Jackson knows her…." I neglected to put in the fact that she kissed me.
Her image was starting to fade "Bye brother. See you soon."
"Bye Bianca." I said before perusing the shops. It didn't take me long to find a really nice present for Will. Holding the present in my hand, I melted into the shadows, arriving a CHB a few minutes later. After stopping at the Hades cabin to hide it until the party, I went directly to the infirmary. As the best healer, this was where Will normally was, working on patching up cuts and broken bones. I saw Kayla healing an Aphrodite kid but, no Will. I asked her where he was and she told me that he had gone off to the cabin a few minutes ago. Thanking her, I ran over to cabin 7, Apollo. I opened the door, expecting to find Will sitting on his bed, or be able to tell where he might be. However, there was no clue to his whereabouts. After searching around camp for a little while longer I have a definitive desicon: Will is missing. There was only one other camper who might have a suspicion. After all, her boyfriend had gone missing too. I walked over to the Athena cabin and opened the door. Malcolm looked up from whatever book he was reading. I think it was Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince but I couldn't be sure.
"Hi Nico. Whatcha doin' here?" he asked me.
"First, that is probably the most grammatically incorrect sentence I have ever heard from one of Athena's kids. Second: Where's Annabeth?" I replied
"I think Manhattan Library. Wait no. Cabin three." He answered
"K. Thanks. By the way, have you seen Will today?" I asked
"He went to the infirmary after lunch and I haven't seen him since.."
I walked over to the Poseidon cabin rather quickly, trying to find Annabeth. I opened the door to the cabin and walked inside. Percy and Annabeth both looked at me in shock
"Hi Nico. What are you dong here? Aren't you usually with Will?" Percy asked once he got his sense together.
"Normally yea, but something came up. More on that later. What I am trying to understand is why both of you neglected to tell me that the gods of Egypt are walking around…Especially when I bear an eerie resemblance to one of them." I was kinda annoyed
"Nico….What happened?" Annabeth asked
"Oh just the usual, stopping by a graveyard, talking to Bianca, getting mistaken for Anubis and kissed…Nothing out of the blue there" I replied, my words dripping with sarcasam.
"Huh?" Percy seemed to no be following
"Seaweed Brain, remember when we fought against Setne with the Kanes? Sadie mentioned something about Anubis, HER BOYFRIEND. Nico looks almost identical to Anubis so Sadie mistook Nico for Anubis." Annabeth explained.
"I really am slow aren't I, wise girl?" Percy admitted
"Anyway, I came for advice on what to do, as you have had a similar situation before with um…Percy and all….Will is missing and I have no idea what to do" I said
"Well I hope that part is obvious" Annabeth says, "We kill the queen of the heavens"
A/N: I may be spotty posting, I'll try to be consistent though. I am heading to summer camp today, so I'll be off the grid for a week and a half. School starts on September 8th for me this year, and after that I might actually be able to post more frequently after school starts.
