Chapter 3
Sadie's POV

The red god stood infront of us, completely emotion-less.
He started walking toward us slowly, nobody stopped him. Set opened his mouth to speak but when he did, it was different from his voice. None of us understood what he said. It wasn't him. The god of evil was being possessed. The dangerous glint in his eyes and the sound of his voice that sent shivers down my spine made it clear that Apophis did this to him.

We were all just standing there, unsure of what to do. Uncle Amos spoke first.
"Set, why have you come here?" He was trying so hard not to sound confused.

Set didn't answer. Instead, somewhere behind us, a statue exploded. That woke the dumbfounded magicians up.
My uncle took his wand and pointed it at Set, though it didn't seem like he wanted to hurt the god. The others copied his action. I still couldn't move. My eyes turned to Anubis but he was looking away, then at uncle Amos. Didn't they realize that the snake was somehow in control of Set? I felt firm hands on my arm and I was being pulled out of the room. Away from the confusion. Away from the feel of chaos.

"Anubis, what are you doing?" I ask him.

He shook his head. "It isn't safe there."

I couldn't help rolling my eyes. "You don't say" I said sarcastically. "We need to help them."

He stopped abruptly. "There's nothing we can do. Not now."

I was about to argue some more but a black cloud began forming around us. Slowly, we were being pulled into a different place.
We were gone.

Carter's POV

"It isn't over"
Those three words were the only thing that came out of his mouth the whole time. He left then.
The entire room was messed up. A lot of people were hurt. Set didn't even have to raise so much as a finger, still he brought chaos. Just by being there. This wasn't going to be good for us all. I just know it.

"How did a god get in here?" Asked someone I didn't recognize.

Amos put his face in his hands. I look around the room. During the chaos, I didn't see Sadie. A sick feeling crawled its way into my stomach. She couldn't have been abducted, right?

People were hurriedly talking about what just happened.
"Wasn't that the god our Chief Lector is following?" Oh no. I knew this would happen.
Zia came to me, a deep frown on her face.
"Carter, we need to talk"

Sadie's POV

"What's going on?"

He forced a smile. "I'm sure that's what everyone is thinking."

I waited for him to explain. He sighed. Behind him was a ton of books on shelves. I could hear distinct growls from outside the room we were in. I looked further around and realized where we were. Outside a big window, it was dark, the moon shown brightly. My ears suddenly pick up the sound of a guitar...I couldn't help groaning.

"Hello young ones!" Thoth acted as if he was genuinely pleased to see both Anubis and I. That makes one of us.

I turned to Anubis. "What are we doing here?"

He leaned in, ignoring my sharp intake of breath, and whispered.
"We're here to get some answers from the god of knowledge."

Carter's POV

It seemed like a long time before we finally stopped at the end of a deserted hallway.
Zia hadn't said a word yet so I gathered enough courage to ask.
"What's this about?"

She stared right into my eyes, as if debating on whether I should be trusted or not. I gulped.
"Something went wrong."

No kidding. We were visited by the god of evil, leaving dozens of young magicians injured and a room destroyed. Thanks for pointing that out, Zia.
"I see that." She looked nervous. "What? You know something?"

She pursed her lips.
"We have to go into the Duat."

"Why?"

"Because we need to talk to Nephthys."

A/N: I didn't plan on making this chapter today. I guess I was inspired to continue because of leader-of-the-rebellion. Anyway, it was practically rushed so please pardon any mistakes. Tell me what you think about this chapter/story through a review. I'll answer any question. :D
