"Do I even have to say it?"

"Yes you do Sadie."

"Whyyyy? They already know it."

"Suck it up and say it Sadie."

*Sighs*

"Fine. The writer of this fanfiction does not own the Kane chronicles or Percy Jackson series."

Chapter 18: We set off

Annabeth's POV:

So, we're supposed to meet the Egyptians and the Romans in a week. Perfect. I still haven't told Percy yet, and I think he's getting suspicious. But he didn't ask and he didn't pry. That's why I love him. That, and the fact that he's stunningly attractive. And other obvious reasons.

Anyway, I think I am going to tell him. Tomorrow. Yup, definitely tomorrow.

Everyone at camp has been preparing for the meeting and thewar since Chiron has told us. Honestly, it's been kind of depressing. The Hephaestus cabin have barley been creating anything new (even though we really need those weapons), the Stoll brothers haven't played a prank since the day we found out about all this, and even the Aphrodite cabin haven't been setting couples up.

A week later…

With the help of the Hecate cabin, Leo extended the interior of The Argo II. Everyone at camp easily fit, one room was huge enough to fit a dozen people easily, so it was just like camp. All the children of the same god/goddess shared a room. We had washrooms, bunks and everything. It was just like camp.

Most people took everything they had with them. I didn't. We were going to go back home. Why take everything if we're going to come back anyways? The thought sent a shiver down my spine.

We were preparing to take off in an hour, to the place that the leaders had agreed to meet. There was a nervous tension on board. Percy and a few others were getting a few last minute things on board.

Percy. I've held off telling him, and now, it was too late.

Sadie's POV:

We've all packed one bag to bring with us. We all used extension spells so that there was more space in the bag, but we won't have to bring a humongous bag with us. (Yes, I stole that from Harry Potter, it belongs to J.K. Rowling :D)

All the Nomes were supposed to travel to the First Nome, and we would all take a portal to the meeting area from there.

I don't know how I feel about that. Sure, we were all on friendly terms with each other, but it was still awkward being in the same room as them. We did cause mass destruction not too long ago, and we did have something to do with accidently destroying some of the Nomes.

So you could see my hesitation.

Some of us had wanted to leave the ankle biters out of this, but there was no where to keep them safe, plus they did do quite well during the battle with Apophis.

I saw Walt/Anubis staring out the window. I haven't really forgiven him yet, and I feel guilty about that. It's not something he could've casually told me. I understand that, but I was still hurt.

Amos was going to create the portal and we were going to go in-two at a time- to the first Nome.

Me and Carter were supposed to go first, since we were like the ermm leaders of the 21st Nome.

There was a nervous tension in the air. Walt turned and caught my eye. I gave him a nod and a small smile to show him I was okay. Relief spread across his face.

" Ready?" Amos asked quietly. Me and Carter exchanged looks, then nodded in unison. Amos muttered a few Egyptian words and the portal appeared. Carter took my hand beside me, and gave it a reassuring squeeze. Then, together, we leaped through the portal, on our way to the first Nome. (Or our possible doom. Pick one.)
