Again, been a while since a post, enjoy the chapter and review :p.
Sadie's POV:
The night was restless. The big room's tv was on all night. Or at least most of the night. I could slightly hear the banter of two individuals. Nothing I cold understand just muffled noises. "I'll have to check it out in the morning." I moaned. I cover my ears with muffs and think of sleeping. But I just couldn't, so much was invading my mind. My brother, Walt and Kek were a few. I just didn't know what we would do to stop him. Horrible thoughts clouded my mind. 'What if he was the one to bring us down?' I think. I couldn't process the thought, we had beaten every other foe that faced us. What did this guy have?
I felt slightly better about this, but I still couldn't shake the anxiety. The hours sluggishly went by, and sleeping didn't happen. After few hours the noise from the big room fell silent. That was a positive. But I still couldn't sleep. I decided to just sit on the balcony. I summoned a chair and slouched in it. The air was chilly, I could see my breath. "And I'm in a night dress." I tell myself sarcastically.
The wind flows through my dress and upwards. The hair on my arms stands tall and I back arches. Goosebumps run across my arms and legs. It is uncomfortable, but I choose to deal with it rather then to change. I am just frozen on the balcony, contemplating my thoughts. They fill my head again, but I continue to think. 'What strategies could we use?' I wonder. The hours pass and soon its dawn. The sun shines over the top of the skyscrapers in the city. "Ra…" I mumble.
I crawl from my seat and step inside. I move to my bathroom and get ready for the day. Changing into some proper cloths and combing my nappy hair. I put a hint of blush on my cheeks just to seem a little happier than I am. Hiding behind blush seemed like hiding behind a mask but it's the best thing to do. The thoughts from last night weigh heavy on my back, but besides that I feel alright. 'What could this feeling be?' I wonder. I step to the room door and step outside.
I perk up when I see Walt standing in front of my door. "Good morning." He greets. "Good morning." I whimper. Walt doesn't seem to notice my glumness. It doesn't bother me, but I would like to have some comfort. Walt rambles on and on about plans he came up with to use against Kek, I zone out. Barely hearing the words he tells. We arrive in the big room and I decide to eat breakfast before anything. I saunter towards the balcony and pick up some eggs. I lay them on a plate along with some orange juice.
I sluggishly ate my eggs. I drank my juice and Carter approaches. "Is everything alright?" He inquires. I hide behind lies. "Everything is fine." He sits next to me. "What's wrong?" he asks. I glare, "Nothing." I respond coldly. He rolls his and pulls my hand, he tows me to the library and sits me at a seat. He closes the door and kneels next to me. "Sadie, I know something is making you upset." I collapse into his arms. 'Rather quick to break eh.' I sob into his arms, "It sucks to be a magician." I whimper. He nods and responds, "But its who we are." "I don't want to lose you or Walt. We've already loss so much." I cry. He holds me tight and strokes my hair.
"Its fine to be afraid, to worry. Just don't let it get you this down." Carter sympathizes. I nod and grin. "Thanks Carter, that's helpful." He gives a playful grin. "Anytime sis." He hugs me one last time then leaves, he beckons me out and I follow.
On the outside Walt sits, "Is everything alright?" He asks, his brow creasing with worry. "I'm fine Walt." I say. I stroll towards Cleo, searching for any more clues to use. She doesn't notice me and continues to the library with some boy I didn't recognize. I shrug it off and move to Carter. "Any clues to defeating Kek?" I press. He shook his head, "Nothing."
I shy away towards someone, anyone just to start conversation. I speak to the older teenagers. They disclose anything of any help towards Kek. For most of the morning this is what I did. After hours of banter the clock struck, and it was 12:00. I shrugged and strolled to the balcony, 'time to inhale some food.' I think. The thought is silly, yet I like it. I pick up numerous sandwiches and some milk. I inhale the food in minutes and throw away the plate.
I saunter inside and realize I've not done anything all day. I stroll to the practice room and practice my destruction spells. "Ha-di." I say. An explosion occurs in the center of the room and destroys the terra cotta warrior I used as a target. I look at each fragment. "Hmm I want bigger." I exclaim.
"Ha-di." I yell. A larger explosion occurs and destroys multiple terra cotta statues. The explosion is oddly pleasing. I lock my wand and staff away and ramble through the Big House. I end up at my room. I open it and step inside. I read my clock. 4:57. I lay on my bed and exhaustedly nap.
My dream was causal. Just laying with Walt on a couch and watching the teli. This last until something wakes me. "Wails coming from out side my door. The clock read 7:38. I launch out of bed and flung my door open. Flames cover the hallway, it's hard to make it out but I do. When I reach the stairwell to the big room I see what has happened. An attack by Kek. Shadows fly around with wings and snatch people up. Then drop them. One of the older magicians is flung into a wall, I hear cracking. From the wall breaking and his bones shattering.
I grab a lantern and throw it towards a shadow. Not really planning for it to help. The lantern shatters and shines light on a shadow. It disappears. I shrug my shoulders and whip out a flash light form my Duat locker. I shine it upon the shadows and they disappear. I saunter into the bug room and see a shadow reaching for Cleo. She crawls backwards avoiding its claws. I yawn and flash the light. Cleo shudders then rushes to the library along with that boy. My eyes are still tired, and I can't keep them open much. They close by accident. And I snore standing in the middle of a battle.
I snore until I get scratched across the face by a shadow. Blood trickles down my cheek as I'm alarmed. I flip the flash light on with a glare and kill the shadow. Carter is struggling with some demons, his sword barely standing against the axe of a demon.
I whistle at the demon and its shark head turns to me. "Ha-di." I say. The demon explodes, and dust showers the ground. Carter slashes another demon to dust. Walt uses death magic to destroy the rest. Afterwards however he crumbles, exhausted. Everyone collects themselves after the attack. The healers begin to tend to the wounded and I carry Walt to his room. I lay him down and tuck him in. He snores restlessly. And I kiss his forehead.
I step out silently and move to my room. I open the door and collapse. I have one final thought till I'm whisked back to sleep. 'I sleep a lot.'
