Chapter 11: Walt and I go downhill

Sadie's POV:

Me and Carter [oh whatever me and Carter, Carter and I, it's the same thing] were walking down the hallway when we heard arguing. The door was left a crack open and Carter and I [happy brother dear?] obviously took a peek inside.

It was Annabeth and Walt.

"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." I heard Walt say to Annabeth. It kind of stunned me because Walt was never really that mean.

I looked deeper into the duat and I saw that it was Anubis talking, not Walt.

"Alright, I am. What's the big deal?" Annabeth said. I looked at my brother and mouthed the words Greeks and Romans? He just shrugged like beats me. So much for him being the smart one.

"Alright, I am. What's the big deal?" I heard Annabeth say.

"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." Anubis said.

I looked at Carter again and he looked kind of excited. He mouthed the words I told you so, I told you so, I told you so over and over again. I rolled my eyes.

"Leave then" His tone rose and it was actually quite scary "and don't come back."

"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.

My jaw dropped. How could he say such a thing to her? Especially when it wasn't his decision to kick people out of Brooklyn house.

Before Walt could walk out and catch us spying, Carter grabbed my arm and pulled me behind the door of Shelby's room that was right next to Annabeth's.

We stayed there an extra five minutes just to be safe and walked out. When I knocked on Annabeth's door, she didn't answer. It was locked so I couldn't get in, even though I could've used magic, I didn't want to intrude on her privacy.

So I went downstairs looking for Walt so he could explain everything, but I couldn't find him anywhere.

Then Annabeth came down. She covered her face but I knew that she was crying. She also had a bag with all of her stuff in it.

Carter and I tried to stop her, but she just pushed past us and ran out the door.

I chased after her but lost her after about 2 minutes. [Shut up Carter, I am not out of shape.]

I went back inside to find Walt sitting on the couch watching a basketball game.

"What was that about?!" I demanded

He didn't look up from the screen. "What?" He asked

I raised an eyebrow. "What happened between you and Annabeth? Why did she run out crying and why were you yelling at her? And what In Horus's Underpants do Greeks and Romans have to do with this?" I was frustrated that Walt wasn't telling me anything.

This time he looked up at me. "You were eavesdropping?" He asked with an eyebrow raised.

"I always eavesdrop. I'm Sadie Kane."

He chuckled. I guess I should have known.

"You still didn't answer my questions." I said to him.

"Because I cant." Was his answer. Seriously? Because I cant. What kind of an answer is that?

"Because you can't?" I said with a hint of irritation.

"Sorry Sadie, but I swore an oath. I can't tell anyone."

"I'm your girlfriend!" I exploaded "We're not supposed to keep secrets from eachother! I tell you everything!"

"Sadie this isn't my choice" He said

My face must've said enough because he stood up and held my face so that I was looking into his eyes.

"I am incredibly sorry Sadie." He leaned down to kiss me but I pulled away and ran to my room.

Thanks for reading! Please review! :D
