Hey, thank you SOOOOO much to all you awesome people that reviewed; luved it! Raina…you kinda confused me. I mean, why did you post a review that said that you luved rick riordan? I mean, everyone luves him (hate him, too) but thank you anyway…? Anyway, on with the story (and I'm SOOOO sorry for not updating sooner, I was working on mark of Athena and another story!) (it's in Sadie's pov again, sorry I'll do Carter's next chapter!)
I stared at Walt.
"What do you mean, there's somebody new here?" I guess that with all that was happening; I didn't think that it was possible to have a new student. Walt grabbed my hand and pulled me back into the building and out the door. By the doorstep, a girl was laying in a heap on the steps. She had caramel colour hair, which was cut sort-of like Zia's. Her eyes were closed, and she had a huge gash across her forehead.
"Oh God." I whispered. That cut looked pretty deep; I almost couldn't stand looking at it. Walt nodded.
"As soon as I saw her I came running to get you." I grabbed the girl's hand and checked her pulse. Her eyes fluttered open, and for an instant I could see them and the fear in them.
"Sadie…?" She croaked. I glanced at Walt. She must have listened to our recordings… I nodded to her.
"Ya, I'm Sadie. This is the 21st Nome, Me and Carter live here. She smiled, but then she passed out. I tried to lift her, but since I'm not the strongest person, I couldn't get her off the ground.
"Walt…help me." I grunted, trying to get her up. He came over and helped me, and together we moved her body into the infirmary. As we lay her down on the bed I turned to Walt.
"Go get Jaz. She needs serious help." He nodded again and rushed out of the room. I'm rubbish at medicine and anything related for that matter, but I put my hand on her forehead. Then, just a second before my hand touched her, I remembered that she had a cut there. I was just deciding whether or not I should try to put band-aids on the gash when Jaz ran in. She felt the girl's pulse, and then said some magic words under her breath. The wound slowly closed as I watched, until it was just a faint scar. Jaz was pale and sweating a bit, so I told her to go sit down, it'd be fine, after all I was here. She smiled and nodded, then went to go lie down. After an hour I got bored, so I started randomly destroying things and then repairing them. With magic, of course. My favourite one-ha-di-to destroy, and hi-nehm. I pointed at the light bulb and said "ha-di". Sure enough, it exploded. Unfortunately, it exploded all over me and the new girl. Oops. [Yes, Carter, I do have accidents once in a while-and not the way that you're thinking!] I covered my head, but the glass shards still cut them up. Some pieces clattered on the ground, which was quiet loud, and brought Jaz, Carter, Walt and a few other students running in.
"What happened?" Carter asked me. I pointed to where the light bulb used to be.
"I-um-had an accident." Carter sighed.
"Honestly, Sadie, what kind of accident would-wait. Did you…" I nodded. Right then we'd had one of those rare moments when we understand each other. Carter walked out of the room, calling "Don't forget to clean up the mess!" As he left. Jaz and Walt still had no idea what was going on, so I just pointed at the mess and spoke the magic word. Literally. The pieces flew together to make the whole bulb, then attached itself to the ceiling and flickered on.
"I kinda used magic, because I was bored…I mean, there's not really anything to do here, so I decided to have some fun…" Walt grinned at me and walked out, while Jaz just sighed and followed him. For some reason, as soon as they left the room, the girl's eyes fluttered open.
"What-where…?" She struggled to sit up, and opened her mouth again.
"You might not want to talk right now, considering you were just very sick and had a huge nasty gash all over your forehead. But you're at Amos' place, 21st Nome. Her eyes widened. "Take the water if you need." I said, pointing to a paper cup filled with water. She took it and started drinking. I know, I know, what I did next was cruel, (after all, she was the new girl) but I muttered ha-di and the water exploded all over her. I started laughing (I'm sorry, but I couldn't help it). The girl looked startled at first, but then she actually started laughing too. In between laughs I said
"You don't mind, do you?" She shook her head, spraying water all over the place.
"No, it's fine. You're Sadie, right?" I nodded.
"You listened to our recording?"
"Yeah." Then she mimicked Carter's voice. Very well, I might add. "Come to Brooklyn. We're waiting." I laughed again.
"I knew I shouldn't have let Carter do the last part! He's always so serious and disciplined and…ugh. I don't know how I can stand him." The girl smiled.
"Oh, by the way, my name's Taiza." I smiled at her.
"'Kay, you already know mine. And I'm guessing you know Zia and Walt and the bunch of them?" She nodded.
"Am I gonna be confined to this prison of a room? It smells like the hospital in here." With all the excitement, I hadn't even remembered my fear of hospitals, but as soon as Taiza brought it up, I immediately wanted to get out as fast as possible. I jumped up from my chair, then grabbed Taiza's hand and dragged her out. Once we were out, I leaned against the wall and sighed with relief. She tried to hide it, but I caught Taiza smiling. Then I remembered that she listened to our recording. The one where I revealed my fear of hospitals. What would you call it? Hospital-phobia? The wall started to glow behind Taiza, and because I was distracted, I didn't remember to warn her until Zia popped out and landed on top of her.
"Whoa-What the-" She turned around to see Zia land on top of her, just as I yelled "LOOK OUT!" Zia crashed into her, and they both fell to the floor in a heap. Zia immediately got up and brushed herself off.
"Sadie, Amos needs a bit of help. I'm getting everyone else. Meet us by Carter's scribing bowl." Then she walked off. Taiza turned to me.
"Zia…right? I nodded.
"Yep. Something must be really wrong if Amos needs our help…oh, that reminds me, did you get the amulet?"
"What? How did that remind you of that when it had nothing to do with that?" I was confused. What was that about that and that? "Anyway, yes, I did get it. And, um…I actually decided who I'm going to follow." I was surprised.
"Really? Already? Who?" She smiled. Just then I realized that whenever she smiled she didn't show her teeth. Maybe she had braces. I would be embarrassed too.
"Well…I'm kind of interested in Bast." I stared at her. She didn't want to do one of the more…I don't know, famous gods? Braver ones? She didn't blush or anything, which was kind of surprising.
"Well, it's just…I am catlike, cat's love me and I love them, Bast is perfect for me. She smiled for the first time, showing her teeth. She didn't have braces, but she did have fangs. Well, not vampire fangs or anything, just cat-like fangs. She had a few scratches over her arms.
"I thought you said cat's like you." She started chipping off her nail polish.
"They do. My nails are pretty similar to claws." Her nails didn't look sharp though.
"Really?" She nodded, then ran one nail down the bottom of her shirt. The fabric ripped, and I finally saw just how sharp they were. She smirked, and I just rolled my eyes. We stood there for a moment or so, before Zia came down the hall.
"Didn't I just tell you to meet me on the balcony?" I nodded.
"Yeah. I just…forgot." She nodded (there was a lot nodding) and turned back from where she came from. I turned to Taiza.
"Well, I guess we'd better go now."
