AN: Wow. I didn't expect three reviews on just the first chapter! THANK YOU! Well, I'm not sure whether this one will be as good but, hope you enjoy it! :) So, to show my appreciation, I have released this chapter early!

I do not own the Kane Chronicles.

Sadie

When I reached my bedroom, I couldn't even be bothered to change. I just slumped onto my bed, headfirst onto my pillow. I turned on my iPod and scrolled down to the SULK playlist. Urrghhhh…

Should I have used the golden headrest so my ba would not fly away and never come back? I didn't care. Either way, I would still disappear to no where. All that mattered was whether I would return.

Closing my eyes, I fell into a deep slumber.

My ba sets off, flying. Again, guiding itself to god knows where. Finally, I came to a dusty red plain next to a long snaking river. Oh great, I know who I was going to meet tonight.

"Nephthys, I greeted as the same woman who formed out of the water in the pond materialised in the river in front of me. "Why did you bring me here? And where is this place?" I asked her, taking note that the sand was red, which is weird and co-incidentally the colour of, you guessed it, chaos.

"Where you are, I can't tell you for I cannot meddle with destiny. All I can tell you, this is where my life force is tied to. And you are here because I need to tell you more about Anubis. [Stop pestering me Carter! I do not know where this place is! You'll find Zia some time later!]

"Right, ok," I said, unconsciously linking Zia Rashid and Nephthys and this place together. "Anyway, Sadie, the purpose of this visit was to tell you about Anubis, as I sai―" Nepthys stopped as I interrupted, "Why do you care so much about him? Shouldn't da―Osiris be the one here, talking to me?"

"Quite true, but Lord Osiris has more important, demands to meet, and after all, Anubis is my son from birth," Nephthys said. "Oh right. I forgot." How could I forget? Anubis was the son of Nephthys and Set. Nephthys gave Anubis to Osiris because she didn't want Anubis to meet Set, his father.

"As I have told you, Anubis has been trapped in a prison in the Duat by Apophis. How? I do not know. Where? I have no idea to that question either. So this is where you come in, Sadie Kane. For I am confined here. It is up to you. You have to decide whether or not to go. If he is worth it. It is your choice. It's all up to you. I trust that you know best, Sadie Kane." Nephthys said, showing yet again Anubis in an orb of water with that terrified look on his hot face.

And with those last words, she doused me and disappeared into the Nile.

"What kind of request was this? You just come by one day going: "Anubis is in trouble! Help him because I can't! Bye!" and then poof! You're gone the next second!" I screamed at nothing, looking around for a tree to kick and found none. Why? 'Cos this is a flippin dessert!

And on that happy note, my ba decided to return to my body.

I opened my eyes to hear my iPod still droning out songs through the dock.

Then, I heard a knock on the door. "Come in." I croaked, not knowing who it was. It probably was going to be Carter though. He always comes to my room and we just talk about what's going on.

I turned when the door creaked to see― "Walt! What are you doing here?" I shrieked, scaring him. "Whoa, ok I'll just go…" Walt slowly backed out with his two hands raised up. "Oh no, that's not what I meant. You just scared me," I said while desperately trying to tame my messy bed hair.

Walt came back in and closed the door.

"So, what uh, brings you here?" I tried to engage a conversation, abandoning the attempt to comb my hair. "I, uh, just wanted to see whether you were alright, I mean with that confusion last night with you almost knocking me down." Walt muttered awkwardly.

I was suddenly under the impression that Carter had asked Walt to do this. [I am going to slice you to bits and keep your remains in the Duat forever Carter Kane!]

But how could I say no to Walt, standing there with his ever so lovely arms in his basketball outfit he wore almost everyday. "Well, a god is in trouble. In the Duat. It involves Apophis." I said, summarising it in three sentences when I felt like bursting out my feelings of confusion.

"Sadie, you can tell me anything," Walt said, looking me straight in the eyes. His eyes weren't as sexy as Anubis's. But that was enough to get me ranting on. I told him about how Anubis was trapped in the Duat, that Nephthys came and told me, that the gods somehow just all hated me but I left out the confusion, crush on Anubis and meant to be date in the graveyard thing.

I supposed it felt good to spill out all my anger against the gods, but it was kind of hard to tread around the parts I left out. "So, ya." I concluded my long rant.

"Ok, so what are you going to do about Anubis?" Walt asked. "Well, I haven't decided whether I should go or not." I said.

"Maybe you should talk to Carter about this." Walt told me and left my room. Ok that was not good. Walt is going to tell Carter about this and he's going to be all: "I'll go Sadie! You're too young! You'll die out there!"

Well, I was not going to let that happen. I decided I was going. How? I have no idea. Where? I have no clue. Strange, I'm starting to sound like Nephthys. [Carter, stop complaining and whining. It's getting very irritating. If you continue, I'm gonna stick my wand up your arse and turn it into a lion.]

I mean, I'm fourteen already. I am not small.

AN: Please R&R! :D
