Chapter 3 – Sadie

I completely forgot my ba likes to take voyages around the world when I sleep.

As soon as my eyes closed, my spirit drifted out of my body. Looking down, I could see Carter's ba having the same struggle.

No, I could see Carter's ba.

"Carter!" I hissed at the ghostly pale chicken form of my brother, keeping quiet so as not to wake Nico up. "Hey!"

My brother glanced up at me and his eyes widened. "Sadie?"

Yeah, that's my name.

"Yeah." I whispered to him. Carter stared at me.

"Woah." He said. "You have wings."

I rolled my eyes. "So do you. But do you realize what this means?"

Carter stared at me. "Huh?"

I groaned in frustration. "We can have private talks in the spiritual world!"

Carter's look of realization made me sigh in relief. "Oh." He said.

I nodded. "Oh. So what do we do now?"

Carter looked at me. "Oh, yeah. I don't really think that the people here are all that bad."

Idiot!

I drifted up to Carter's face and glared at him. "Listen." I hissed. "The egyptian gods and the greek gods are enemies. They probably had a fight or something, which makes demigods and egyptian sorcerers automatic enemies."

Carter shrugged. "Maybe we were meant to come together. Maybe something bad is coming, and we need to work together."

I opened my mouth to speak, but before I could, a gust of wind came and both me and Carter tumbled into the sky.

Carter and I crouched behind a bush, watching the scene in front of us.

There was a golden coffin thing encrusted with jewels. It seemed to shimmer with darkness, which didn't make any sense since it looked so magnificent.

Then we saw something that made my heart stop for a second as I stared at him, unable to look away.

A serpent with red eyes.

Apophis.

The spell broke for a split second and I sent a 'damn' look over to Carter to which he nodded.

"Kronos." Apophis hissed. "Heard you failed."

There was no sound, but Apophis obviously heard something.

"Ah." He nodded. "The scum betrayed you, huh?"

He listened for a while then started laughing.

"Oh, Kronos." He said. "I can help you. Just allow me to use you as a host. I can mend you in a second."

He paused.

"No, I can't take full control of you. You are a Titan after all. We can combine our powers and defeat both your pesky Greek gods and my annoying Egyptian gods."

More laughing. "Okay, It's decided then."

I gulped, exchanging a look with Carter.

This was not good.

(AN – Can Apophis possess people? Oh, well. In my story, he does. Deal with it! :D)

"Ack!" I woke to an icy feeling, Gasping, I sat up from my laying position to find my face completely drenched.

Carter was doing the same.

"Sorry!" Came a voice. It sounded cheerful for a son of Hades. "You guys won't wake up."

I glared at him then turned to Carter, shooting him a worried glance which he returned.

"Nico," Carter spoke. "We need to speak with Chiron. Come with us, and bring Annabeth as well."

Nico sent us a weird look. "What-"

"Just do it." I said. "It's important."

Nico shrugged, then grinned.

"Sure, but we switch bunks."

Sometimes I really hate that guy.

Chiron paced on the floor, his hooves making thudding sounds. Sometimes, I got the feeling pacing is all he did.

Annabeth had left with her boyfriend, Percy, to do something. While she was gone Carter and I had just told Nico and Chiron what we saw last night and how our spirit drifted away. We didn't tell them about the chicken thing, of course.

"This is bad." Chiron said, "Very bad."

Nico nodded.

"Sadie, Carter." Chiron suddenly said, lifting his head. "You guys have to convince the Olympians to accept you. If what you saw is real, which I don't doubt, trouble is brewing. And fast."

Carter shot me a nervous glance. The truth was, I was pretty nervous too.

(Shut up, Carter.)

"Who is Kronos?" I asked after a while. Chiron looked at me, surpised.

"Oh." He said. "I forgot you don't know yet. Kronos almost destroyed Olympus last summer. He is a Titan."

"Almost destroying, meaning including the gods?" I asked.

"Yes." Chiron said grimly. "Meaning including the gods."

Carter gulped. I glanced at him. Apophis plus that Titan that almost destroyed Olympus is not a good combination. At all.

"Wait." Nico said. "Who is Apophis?"

"A giant serpent that we have tried to tame." Carter said, matching Chiron's grimness.

"Scary guy." I agreed. "He can paralyze you when you see him."

Chiron sighed. "Sadie and Carter, you guys need to convince the Olympians."

"Like, now?" Carter asked.

"Yes, now." Chiron agreed.

I groaned.

"Remind me again why we are doing this?" Carter asked nervously as we walked into the Empire State Building.

"To stop the world from being destroyed. Meaning, to save the world." I replied.

"You two again?" The doorman asked gruffly. I glanced at him in surprise. He had a really good memory.

"Don't stare at me." He said, tossing me a bunch of keys.

I nodded at his coffee-stained shirt. "Nice shirt," I said

The doorman scowled at me. I shrugged back at him.

"Sadie!" Carter hissed from inside the elevator. I ran to him just as the doors closed.

"Just in time." I grinned.

Carter glared at me. "How can you be so relaxed?"

"I'm not relaxed."

Carter sighed and turned away, pressing the 600th floor.

Music blasted from the speakers again. I winced.

Carter seemed too nervous to even acknowledge the sound.

Finally the doors 'ding'ed open. We stepped out to the same magnificent sight, with the golden doors and such.

Carter gulped.

I pointed to the statue that had freaked me out last time. Now that I glanced at it, I could see the tiny differences between the statue and Hathor, or Sekhmet.

"Who's that?" I asked.

"Hera." Carter seemed even more nervous, if possible.

I shrugged at 'Hera' and walked through the doors. Carter followed slowly after me.

I pushed the door that was at lease ten times my size. It creaked as it moved backwards.

In front of me was a bunch of thrones, each different from the other.

And on each throne, was a giant.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?"

So, time for thanks.

dreamwritergoddess - Haha yes, Sadie's got spunk. As for the rule, it will reveal itself bit by bit. It's just based mainly around the idea that greek gods and egyptians don't exist. Thanks for reviewing!

almostinsane - HAha yep. He can't kill them just yet because Athena's convinced that the greek should hear them out first, but that doesn't stop him from giving Carter a scare... :D Thanks or reviewing!

mothholder - Nope, I said that at the beginning of chapter one. I'm more of a fan of Sadie/Anubis, I don't like the idea of taking Anubis away only to have him replaced by another death god-ish person. So Nico and Sadie's feelings are going to be purely platonic. Thanks for reviewing, though!

daughterofApollo76- Hm yep, seems like people are all rooting for DA BADASS ONE :D I'll keep the story mainly focused on Sadie's point of view, but sometimes there are necessary Carter inputs. Anyways, Thanks for reviewing!

Luver2234 - Nico... Sadie... Collide? Huh? Wha? When did they collide? How? ... uh... Care to elaborate? - Haha, thanks for reviewing, though.

What do you think?

The siblings (and others) are going on a quest later on, obviously.

Therefore, I am in need of inspiration.

HELPP!

So... Review and suggest something. ANYTHING!

AND YAY TO REVIEWING PEOPLE! Your reviews make my day. Rock on!

:D
