Chapter 2

After discussing how their day was going, Carter quickly left in a jog for his next class leaving Sadie behind. She walked around in confusion looking for her art class. After five minutes of walking around she was about to give up her search, the building was like a huge maze.

"Woah watch it!" said a boy Sadie had accidentally walked into while she was looking down at her schedule.

She looked up only to find the bright blue eyes of Lex, the boy from her history class. His curly brown hair was a bit messy and covered his eyes a little, he was tall and lean with muscle tone that showed through his white button up t-shirt. He smiled at her when he recognized her face which made Sadie's heart beat fast again – the boys in this school would kill her before the day was finished!

"Sorry, I'm a bit lost," Sadie said blushing a little. She was not having a good day with the guys at her school, especially all the attractive ones.

Lex laughed and rubbed his hand through his hair, "I'm actually lost too. I told Leo, my sister, that I'd meet her at the next class. But I left my schedule with her, I have art next but I don't know the room number."

Sadie smiled at finding out where he was headed, she also thought his slight Mideast accent was cute. "I'm going to art too, I know the room number. You can help me find it if you'd like."

Lex nodded enthusiastically and they both set off for the room. With his help it only took them a minute to find the room which Sadie realized to her embarrassment she had passed two times without knowing it.

"Well I guess this is it, think our teacher will be mad?" Lex asked eyeing her amusingly. Sadie shrugged, at this point she didn't really care, she was in a good mood because his sunny disposition was starting to rub off on her. They both entered the room, the teacher was wearing a bright orange suit and had a curly blond afro. Sadie nearly laughed out loud at the sight. After he noticed them enter he turned to them, "A little late aren't we… I hope you two weren't making out in the hall on the first day." Winking at them as if he knew exactly what had happened outside his room.

Sadie grimaced and blushed as she took a seat in the back. Lex sat in the front next to his sister. After the long class, taught by Mr. Afropuff, which wasn't his name but Sadie thought it should be, she was leaving for her next class only to be stopped by Lex and Leo in the hall.

Leo was eyeing her suspiciously. Sadie thought she was very pretty. Her curly brown hair flowed down her back, and her bright blue eyes shined. She wore a maroon blouse and light blue skinny jeans. Sadie could tell they were exact opposites of one another, and from the look Leo was giving her, she didn't approve of Sadie's appearance at all.

Lex was still smiling at her though, his eyes bright and almost twinkling, pulling Sadie into a trance. "So what's your next class?"

"I have math," Sadie responded hoping they were in the same class.

"Aw that's too bad, we have biology," Leo said clearly not looking at all distressed about the revelation.

Lex looked disappointed but his smile soon returned, "Well meet us for lunch, okay?" Sadie nodded and after a few quick goodbyes the two twins walked away. Sadie headed to her math class disappointed, and a bit worried that she was so disappointed. Secretly, she'd still been harboring feelings for Anubis, although they hadn't seen each other since meeting in the duat for the first time.

This was at least her first class that she wasn't late for and she wanted at least one teacher to like her, so she decided to take a seat near the front in the second row. As the class filled up she noticed Nico enter the room. Excited at seeing him from earlier she waved him over. Nico looked questioningly at her but sat down next to her. "Surprised to see you here," Sadie said smiling at him.

"Well I have to take math sometime," he joked.

"Do you have lunch next?" Sadie asked trying to start a conversation.

"Yeah." Sadie could tell he wasn't as talkative as Lex. She still liked him, he seemed like he'd be a nice and normal friend but still unique in his own way. Plus, she really liked his aura and for some strange reason his earthy smell. It reminded her of where her father and mother now resided, in the underworld. Sadie questioned him about a few more things before their teacher started talking about math.

After class was over and she was finished packing up her bags she grabbed Nico's hand and pulled him with her down the hallway. Nico looked flustered at her sudden brazenness, but didn't make a move to let go of her hand.

"So, where are we going?" Nico asked smiling a little at Sadie's forcefulness.

Sadie looked back at him and grinned, "To the lunchroom of course. Or did you have other plans for lunch?" Realizing she might have acted a little too hastily.

Nico laughed, it was light and cheery which surprised Sadie. He shook his head, "Nope."

"Well then, let's go. I told some other people from class that I'd meet up with them," Sadie realized at that point they were still holding hands. She didn't want to let go though, and he didn't seem to either so they continued hand-in-hand to the lunchroom. Upon entering she quickly spotted Lex and Leo who waved her over to their table. She tried to ignore the glare Lex was sending in Nico's direction. But she quickly let go of Nico's hand as they sat down.

Lex was giving Nico a death glare, which Nico either didn't notice or wasn't bothered by.

"Who are you again?" Lex asked bluntly, still glaring.

Nico shifted awkwardly in his seat but still didn't seem intimidated by Nico's glare, "I'm Nico, I think we're all in the same history class. You're Lex and you're Leo right?" He asked motioning to both of them.

Leo smiled at Nico warmly, though her eyes had a menacing fierceness to them. "I'm Leo and this is my brother Lex, nice to meet you Nico... So, are you and Sadie going out?" She was grinning at Sadie and Nico.

Sadie was starting to not like her at all, she and her brother seemed to be complete opposites. "No, we're just friends," Sadie said glaring at her. Nico was blushing in his seat, he took out his lunch and began to eat cereal.

"Woah, you packed cereal for lunch?" Sadie asked taking out her own lunch, finding to her dismay Khufu had packed it.

Nico nodded, "My step-mom's mom loves cereal, practically invented the stuff."

Lex had gotten over his glaring and started talking to Sadie about their art class, until they were interrupted by Carter.

"Sadie, I need to speak to you about something," Carter said excitedly.

"Who are you?" Lex asked, Sadie could tell he was getting a little flustered with all the male attention she was receiving.

Carter glanced at him and sighed, "I'm Carter. Sadie's brother, and I know we look nothing alike."

Lex smiled, "Oh, hey. I'm Lex and this is my sister Leo, nice to meet you. You have a lovely sister by the way." Everyone gave him a questioning look. Carter grabbed Sadie's arm, dragging her to the opposite side of the lunch room, motioning for the guy that was behind him to stay with the others.

"What are you doing? I was eating with my friends," Sadie complained to her brother.

"I've got some really exciting news!"

Sadie rolled her eyes, "Oh brother, what is it now? Did you learn some amazing Physics formula again?"

Carter blushed, "No, that was one time Sadie! And I hope you know Physics is essentially the fundamentals of magic, it would do you some good to learn it." Sadie sighed and started to walk away when Carter grabbed her arm to stop her. "I think I've found a reincarnate!"

"What? What do you mean? What's a reincarnate?"

Carter rolled his eyes, "You'd know if you read those books I gave you. But anyways, a reincarnate is basically when the soul or spirit of a person who died is born into a new body. I think I've found someone super important, someone who might help us stop Apophis!" Carter was practically jumping in joy at his discovery.

Sadie on the other hand was skeptical, "Wait, so you're telling me some kid in your class was at one point someone who was already dead? And you know this how? Do you even know who he was?"

"Sadie, I think he's Marcus Antony and Cleopatra's kid."

Sadie was starting to get interested now, but was still skeptical, "What? You have to be joking. That's impossible right? How do you know?"

Carter shifted nervously, "Well I don't exactly. It's just I read a book about reincarnates, the one I gave to you, and the Egyptians believed in it a lot. He has the same name as one of their kids. He came here a few years ago from Egypt and he speaks perfect Latin even though he never took a class before. He also looks just like Marcus Antony!"

"Woah, hold on. I thought you said the spirit goes into a new body?"

"It does but I think his case may be different. And in Egypt there were similar cases of an offspring appearing that looked exactly like someone from the past."

Sadie nodded, absorbing the information. She was still skeptical though, "You're still not giving a lot of reasons as to how he could be a reincarnate. It could just be a bunch of coincidences."

Carter sighed and rubbed his hand through his hair nervously, "I know, but I think I'm on to something. You know the story Amos told us a few days ago, about how one of Cleopatra's children was deemed to be the rightful host of Ra right?"

"Yea," Sadie said not catching onto his point.

"Well Ra is stuck in the duat now, and remember last year how we found out that we needed a special host in order for Ra to ascend from the heavens? Well think about it, if we have a reincarnate of Caessarion who was thought to be the perfect host we could get Ra! Ra can help us defeat Apophis and he can return to giving hope to the dead!"

Sadie was beginning to catch on to her brother's enthusiasm, understanding what he was saying, "We have to make sure though. We don't want Ra to try and host him only to completely disintegrate him."

"Of course," Carter nodded, "It's amazing that you noticed him too. That'll help since he seems to like you."

"What are you talking about?" Sadie asked confused.

Carter pointed back to their lunch table, "Him, Lex, he's the one I believe to be a reincarnate." Sadie stared at Lex in shock. There was no way, sure he was from Egypt but he seemed so normal.

"Common, let's study them to make sure," Carter said pulling Sadie back to the others. They made their way back to the table. There Nico was speaking enthusiastically to Lex and Leo. It wasn't until they got closer to the table that they realized they were all speaking Alexandrian Greek.

at : Everyone who favorite and reviewed and story alerted, THANK YOU and Hugs! キタ━━━( ゜∀ ゜)━━━! I'd give each and everyone one of you mango popsicles if I could. But I can't so have the cyber hug.

Lex in my mind looks like Aaron Johnson (pic: http / / : imgur . com/IgcF2 . jpg remove the spaces or just a google him) and Leo looks like a girl version of him, so add longer hair and makeup. :P
