I do not own the Percy Jackson or Kane Chronicles series

Chapter 14:

Sadies's POV:

The next morning, as soon as I woke up, I went straight to Carter's room. He was still sleeping. I yanked the blanket off from his body and smacked him on the head. Maybe just a tiny bit too hard. [Okay, maybe a lot too hard, but it was important Carter!]

"OW! What in the name of Horus was that for?" He demanded. I plopped down next to him and began retelling him everything I remember from last night.

When I was finished, Carter was sitting with his fingers covering his mouth, in deep thought. "Are you sure that's exactly what they said?" He asked. I sighed dramatically. I was getting impatient. "Yes I'm sure Carter"

"Well what do you expect me to do?" He said to me. I raised my eyebrows. "You're joking right?"

"What?" He replied. "Well this was a complete waste of time" I said. "Sadie, there's nothing really that I can do." I was about to I was about to yell at him and tell him that there were plenty of things that he could do, when I realized that there weren't.

What did I expect him to do? Prevent whatever that was going on from happening? How?

And then I got an idea. The only thing I could do right now. I was going to go confront Amos, Bast and Anubis. And demand to know what was going on.

Annabeth's POV:

I've spent days training and pranking and working but I still always thought back to the Egyptians. I've debated with myself multiple times on telling Percy and Chiron but I just didn't know how. "Oh hey, bt dubs I'm an Egyptian. WOOO" yeah that'll be a pleasant conversation.

Chiron's been acting strange lately. He looks so worried now. He's doubled the amount of guards around the border and has re- secured the camp boundaries every few hours.

It's weird. Like he's expecting another war or something. I've seen that the other campers have also noticed how jittery Chiron's been lately. They've been spreading rumors about how Kronos and Gaia are rising again.

Every time I hear those names a shiver runs up my spine.

And then, one day, the suspicion ended. But when the suspicion ended, panic started.

Sadie's POV:

I didn't have to go up against them the next day. They were the ones that called us. While everyone was leaving for school, Bast made me and Carter stay behind.

She pulled us into Amos's office and told us to take a seat. Amos and Walt were already there.

I still haven't talked to Walt since the day we had our argument, so it was quite awkward sitting right across from him.

"Kid's, remember the first time you came here to live with me? I mentioned that Manhattan was dealing with 'other gods?'" Amos said.

Me and Carter exchanged looks. Of course we remembered. It's all we thought about for the last few days.

Thanks for reading! Please review! :P
