I do not own the Percy Jackson or Kane chronicles series

Chapter 13: Home

Annabeth's POV:

As the driver dropped me off where I had told him to, I thanked him and paid him and he took off.

I took my bag and walked up the hill. I could see Thalia's tree! I was so excited! I ran right pass the borders and smacked into someone.

I looked up. "Percy!" I cried and tackled him into a hug. "Hey watch it wise girl, you're gonna break me" he said.

I blushed and stepped back. But he only chuckled, and pulled me into a tighter hug. Then he kissed me.

"I missed you so much Annabeth" He said to me. "I missed you too seaweed brain."

"Hey, that thing going on with your family, is it okay?" He asked.

I realized he was talking about the reason I made up for not coming to camp.

"Oh yeah, its fine." I said. "Good. Now I have you all to myself." He said which made me laugh.

"Not so fast Jackson." A familiar voice said. I turned and Thalia was grinning at me. "Thalia!" I said and ran to her. She laughed and gave me a hug.

I put all my stuff away in my trunk in the Athena cabin and laid down on my bed.

I wanted to spend some time with Percy, but I needed some time to think through what happened back at Brooklyn House-again.

Eventually I drifted off to sleep.

Sadie's POV:

I sat on my bed. I tried not to cry since I was usually a tough girl, and crying over my boyfriend- really? Get yourself together.

I mean Annabeth was a really nice girl. What would she do to Anubis to make him so angry? And why was it so bad that he couldn't even tell me?

There were several knocks on my door every few minutes but I ignored them. Eventually, I drifted off to sleep.

I woke up and it was pitch black in my room. I stared at my clock for about a minute before I could tell what time it was. 3:00 am.

I was a little hungry since I had not eaten dinner so I went downstairs to get a bite to eat.

I passed Amos's office that he told us never to go into (of course we tried, but it was heavily charmed. We couldn't go in no matter how hard we tried) and I heard a whispered argument inside.

I lied down on the floor and tried to peek in through the crack on the bottom. I couldn't see anything though. So I just pressed my ear closer and tried to listen to who it was.

"Anubis, I appreciate what you did, but that was a really stupid move" I heard Amos growl.

"I was doing what I thought was best" I heard Walt's voice say.

"His intentions were good" I heard Bast say.

"Kicking Annabeth out had made the other gods angry. Now they think were not willing to cooperate. And we need them. We cant fight this battle without them." Amos sounded so stressed that I wished I could go over and hug him. But I knew that I needed to listen to the rest of the conversation.

"Now the kids are suspicious. I don't want them to be worried. Not until the very last possible minute. They've been under too much already. It's only been a couple of months."

So Amos and Bast were in on the little Annabeth secret? And what is it that they're always talking about, about other gods? Please tell me there aren't any more. I wouldn't be able to take it. More gods, more monsters, more enemies, more battles, more deaths.

I wanted to burst through the door and call them out, but I knew they would never tell me. And right now, I should find out more about what they were talking about first, so I have something to back up my accusations.

I crept back to my room and laid back down. I stared at thee ceiling for who knows how long.

They didn't want us to worry?

Too late.

My life really sucks.

Thanks for reading demigods! And Egyptians of course!
