I do not own the Percy Jackson Series or the Kane Chronicles Series
Chapter 10: Walt yells at me
Annabeth's POV:
While I was in the shower, Percy called, and Carter answered. That must've been awkward. I just hope that they didn't give away anything about me.
I'm trying to keep Greeks and Egyptians away from each other as hard as I possibly can. I mean look what happened with the Romans.
We were still very cold with each other, but at least they hadn't tried burning down our camp… yet.
Anyway, I was debating on whether or not I should call him back. My heart was saying YES! But my mind was saying that's too reckless. I wanted to tell my mind to shut up but I knew it had a point.
I'd probably be telling him within the first three minutes of the phone call.
Plus I wasn't supposed to use my cell unless it was an emergency. It could attract all kinds of monsters.
I sighed sadly and put my phone across the room so I wouldn't be tempted to call him.
It's been about a month since my first day here at Brooklyn House and I was starting to feel comfortable.
I've been following the path of Isis the goddess of magic like Sadie because back at Camp I was sick of being the only one without special powers.
I mean Percy has his control over water, Piper has her charmspeak, Jason and Thalia had their cool lightning powers, the Apollo cabin with their magical ways of healing etc.
I mean it was so unfair.
Anyway, as I was saying, I was starting to trust everyone at Brooklyn house until the day Walt came walking into my room and started yelling at me.
At first he just examined me with cold hard eyes. And I realized that it wasn't Walt that was acting like this. It was Anubis.
"Is there something I can help you with?" I asked him slightly irritated for just barging into my room without permission.
"I know you're a Greek" was his answer.
Panic almost swallowed me, but I managed to play it cool. "What are you talking about?" I said innocently.
"Don't play dumb with me. I can tell by your eyes that you're a daughter of Athena. I'm a god. I know all about the Greeks and Romans." He said
It was no use trying to deny it. He was a god. And let's face it, gods know everything.
"Alright, I am. What's the big deal?" I said
"The big deal is, you could be working for their side. Passing information about us to them. Our weaknesses, our strengths, our plans. I don't trust you." He said
I let that sink in. He thought I was a spy for the Greeks? "That's ridiculous. I'd never do that. I'm trying to keep you two apart if you haven't noticed." I said calmly.
"You're either with the Greeks or you're with the Egyptians. Pick one." He said.
"You can't be serious" I said in disbelief.
"Oh, but I am." He answered coolly.
"That's my home." I said quietly.
"Leave then" His tone rose and it was actually quite scary "and don't come back."
"Lord Anubis-" I started to say but he cut me off.
"Ill give you an hour to pack your things and leave. If you're still here one minute after, I'll escort you out myself." Then he turned and walked out.
It hit me right in the face. Tears streamed down my face as I threw all my belongings into the bag that I brought with me on the first day.
Isn't Anubis so mean? Sorry, but I had to do it.
You'll see what happens between the Greeks and the Egyptians in a few chapters.
Just a little hint about what might happen…. The Romans are involved too.
Thanks for Reading! Please Review. :D
