Disclaimer: I do not own Percy Jackson or the Kane Chronicles
(Sadie's POV)
"What are you talking about?", Sadie asked in confusion. And she was confused. In just two days she had a big fight with Carter, ran off to Rome, met a lot of different people, gotten kidnapped and now she was in a cavern with a boy she didn't know and a loony goddess who planned to perhaps destroy the world.
"Well, my dear girl, I plan to start the world over with you two controlling it. I refuse to let another anarchy sent it into a spiraling death. Speaking of which, Nico, did you know that your father was suppose to be king, not Zeus? That incompetent child has always wanted the throne for the power and he will do anything to keep that power. It's about time for someone to overthrow Zeus."
"I hope you don't mean Sadie and I because there is no way in my father's name will I do such a thing.", Nico said angrily.
"Oh but I don't believe you have a choice. You are both destined to do this." Gaea said sweetly.
"If you don't mind me asking, what is your plan exactly?", Sadie asked.
"Nico turned to her furiously and said, "Why are you acting as if you trust her? She kidnapped us and is going to use us! Don't you understand that?"
"Of course I do. I just want to know what the hell might happen to me. Besides don't you want to know too?", Sadie retorted.
"Children, please.", the goddess said calmly, "I do not wish to keep you here forever. Only until the process is complete."
Nico narrowed his eyes. "What process?"
"Answering Sadie's question, I plan to give Order and Chaos hosts."
(Percy's POV)
Percy was worried. He couldn't believe someone would take his youngest cousin and hid him from the rest of the world. Hazel keep telling him and the others members of the Seven that he was alive but Percy was still overgrown with fear of what could happen to Nico.
After getting away from the Romans, the Argo II landed in several different places, the latest in the heart of Rome. Rachel was able to get the group all their own rooms. Percy and Annabeth however decided to share a room.
As soon as Percy was able to sneak away from Annabeth (she hated when he went anywhere by himself) he decided to walking around the city. While he was roaming around (no pun intended) he got distracted. There was just so much to see around the city. The fountains, the statues, the architecture, the-
"Ow!" He wasn't watching where he was going and ran into an African American boy wearing a white t-shirt and some black jeans.
"Yeah. That did hurt." Percy started laughing. "Sorry, man. Are you okay?"
"Yup. Are you okay?"
"Yeah. My name's Percy by the way."
"Carter. Nice to meet you." Carter held out his hand and Percy shook it. Something about him made Percy nervous though.
"Nice to meet you too, Carter. What are you doing in Rome?"
"Looking for my sister. We had an argument and she ran off."
"Oh. That sounds serious. Do you need any help?"
"No. I think I'll be fine. I already have some other friends and my girlfriend helping me." Carter looked sad and worried.
"Well I'll still keep a look out. What's her name?"
"Sadie. She has caramel-colored hair, blue eyes and light skin. I know. She sounds like she looks nothing like me but my mother was white and my father was black."
" Percy took in what Carter has said for a moment. "You said 'was'. Did something happen to them"?
Carter grimaced a little, "They both died. My mom when I was 8 and my dad only about 3 years ago. Right now Sadie and I are living with our uncle."
Percy nodded. "Ah. Well at least you're still with family."
"Yeah. What about you? Why are you here?"
Percy had a slight feeling that he could tell Carter the truth but he couldn't. Unless he wanted to go to the crazy house.
"I'm just here touring. Always wanted to go and now here I am. Hey considering that we are in the middle of the sidewalk, why don't you come over to the hotel I'm staying at. It's the Eurogarden. I'll be at the pool. 5 P.M. good for you?"
The boy looked at his watch. "Yup. That's perfect. Is it ok if I bring my girlfriend? She'll get worried if I go by myself." He rolled his eyes in annoyance.
"Sure. And I know how you feel." Percy laughed lightly.
"Okay. See you then."
"You too."
The two boys walked away from each other but they didn't know that in meeting each other that they would have to work together in the near future.
A/N: Yup. So that's chapter 2. I wanted to make it a lot longer so I did. How did you guys like it? Is there anything that I could do to make it better. Please tell me so that I can fix it. Also you are still allowed to submit original characters. I will also need about 1 or 2 Egyptian magicians. Yup. Yup. Thank you for reading and see you need chapter!
