Okay so I just went through and re-read the reviews. You guys are amazing! Lets try for five more reviews this chapter shall we? Even I'm not entirely sure what's going to happen now so let's find out... :)
Disclaimer: "NO!" (Perry the Platypus tries to pull away my copy of TLH) "I own nothing! Including the rights to Nintendo Wii … although I do own one!"
Zia turned to look at Sadie and yelled
"I'M GOING TO FUFILL MY DESTINY AS MY FATHER'S DAUGHTER!" then she jumped.
Sadie ran to the window in time to see Zia fall … and fall … and fall … and freeze in mid-air? … well not exactly freeze, but it seemed like she was hovering in-mid air and slowly being lowered to the ground, there appeared to be a halo of light around her as she was lowered to the ground. When Zia reached the ground the light disappeared and Zia ran off. Carter ran into the room,
"What's with the yelling?" he asked as Sadie turned away from the window,
"Carter, I know your going to hate me … but Zia just jumped out the window … and landed safely on the ground," Sadie hesitated to see how Carter would react.
"WHAT?!" he cried running to the window and looking down, "We have to find her!"
"CARTER!" Sadie shouted as he ran out of the room "She said she wanted some time to herself, and something about her dad - "Carter cut her off
"I don't care! I'm going to find her! You stay here and try to convince Lacy that she's descended from Egyptian Pharaohs! NO! Don't argue with me! Your not in any position to tell me off right now," then he ran out of the room and Sadie went to find Lacy.
Lacy was in the guest bedroom on the third floor with her back to the door and her body in a position that made it look like she was trying to hide whatever it was she was looking at.
"Come on, come ON!" she muttered then turned away discarding what appeared to be a phone with a giant slot in the side, just as Sadie walked in.
"What do you want?" Lacy glared a Sadie with not quite hatred but at least major annoyance,
"Lacy, look I know you hate me right now but-"
"Hate you? No Sadie I don't hate you, I know you were simply trying to do what you thought was right, but you have no idea what you have set in motion by doing this, my mother is a powerful woman and my boyfriend … has anger management issues. They will both get angry with you and in general all the Egyptian … Mages did you say? And the Egyptian gods and … your whole world trust me."
"But Lacy unless your mum or boyfriend knows about the Egyptian gods, they won't know where you are or who took you and if they know they would have sent you to the first Nome or here by now, I am sorry to disappoint you but that is the sad truth." Sadie didn't want to be a party pooper but someone had to tell her and it was better her – who Lacy was already annoyed with than someone else.
"Look Sadie, I don't really have the energy to explain it all to you – and even if I did I'm not sure I would – but trust me, my mum knows and she will tell my boyfriend, and our other friends and then they'll come looking, and when they find you, you'll be sorry, I'll be sorry two but I won't be able to stop them, the gods will be on the war path, and do you want to know who put them there Sadie? You did. And now everything is out of our control."
"Lacy what are you talking about?"
"We have our own secrets Sadie,"
"Okay, let's say for the sake of the argument that your mum and friends come looking for you, there's the whole world out there, how are they going to know where to even start looking?" Sadie thought she'd found the flaw in Lacy's story – there had to be one she knew, this couldn't be real, but Lacy simply smiled sadly and said
"Drew and Katie'll tell them, they're probably there right now... at home..."
Meanwhile … at Camp Half-Blood …
"Leo? LEO! WHERE ARE YOU?" Piper stood at the entrance to Bunker Nine looking into the utter chaos that she knew housed Leo somewhere in it's depths.
"Piper? Is that you?" came the reply
"Yes, and you'll want to come and hear this,"
"how would you know?"
"Trust me," Piper waited wondering if she should say more or not and was just opening her mouth to yell again when Leo appeared
"Okay, this had better be good, I was nearly ready to install the motion sensors for the Wii 'motes," Leo grumbled.
"Drew and Katie just got back to camp … something happened to Lacy,"
"Crud … okay, Buford … you turn off the timer then have a break, I'll give you an extra polish when I get back … Wait how did you know?!" he turned to Piper who simply smiled
"Aphrodite camper Leo … that and Lacy couldn't shut up about it ..."
"Does the whole cabin know then?"
"Nope just me … you think Lacy wants Drew to know she has a boyfriend? Come on."
Wow, well that was interesting, wasn't it? Next chapter will hopefully tell us what happened to Zia and have some action though don't hold me to that, at the moment I'm writing as I go so I am very sorry about the wait but as soon as I finish the chapter I upload so don't think I'm uploading periodically because … well good luck finding the pattern there. Anyway, Debating has just started again at school, which either means I'll update more slowly because I'll be debating or more quickly because I'll want a break from the research required for writing the debates. Anyways have fun and Happy St. Patrick's day! :) Remember Review!
