Wow, pretty fast update this time! (compared to the last one at least)

Sorry about the name change. I just though this went better, I didn't really like the last title.

Disclaimer: *in Darth Vader voice* Luke, I am your father, not Rick Riordan, so therefore, I don't own Percy Jackson or the Kane Chronicles. Pity, isn't it?

Carter

My head hurt all over worse than ever when I woke up.

I groaned and cracked my eyes open only to see Jason lounging in a chair next to the bed I was in. I seemed to be in the same room as the last time I was unconscious. Deja vu, I thought.

"How long was I out this time?" I asked Jason as I closed my eyes again.

"Not long," he replied. "It's only about eleven thirty in the morning. You've been out since just last night."

Something was bugging me in the back of my mind, and I laid there for a moment trying to figure out what it was. Then all at once it came rushing at me like a freight train out of control. I could remember. I remembered everything, Sadie, Brooklyn house, our quest to find the book of Ra. What the serpopard said made sense now, and I didn't like what it meant. That reminded me, the serpopard! I thought back to what Jason had said, "They aren't Greek, that's for sure." He was absolutely right.

"You're right." I said, out loud this time.

"Huh?" Jason asked.

"You're right," I repeated, opening my eyes and turning my head to look at him. "The serpopards aren't Greek, their Egyptian. I remember everything now. The night you found me, I was with my sister and some of our friends on a mission to save the world. It's a long story," I said with a laugh, seeing his confused expression. "But lets see, how do I explain it?" I asked no one in particular. "Well, I live at a place called Brooklyn House. It's kind of like this place, Camp Half-Blood, only Egyptian instead. And instead of demigods, there are Egyptian magicians; I'm one of those magicians. Instead of the Greek gods, we follow the Egyptian ones."

"Um, okay," Jason said, sounding very unsure. "I guess it makes sense. I mean there are already Greek and Roman Pantheons, so why not Egyptian?"

"Exactly! I think... Anyway, Brooklyn House is what we call the twenty-first nome. There are different nomes in cities all over the world, the first being in Cairo. All those nomes together are called the House of Life.

"Recently my sister and I kind of saved the world, but in doing so, we did some things that made the House of Life hate us. Now we have to save the world again from this giant snake that wants to swallow the sun. We are training kids like us to be magicians and to follow the path of the gods, which is forbidden by the House of Life. That, by the way, is part of the reason that the House of Life Hates us so much." I explained.

"So you're working on saving the world, sounds good." Jason said matter-of-factly.

"But what happened with the serpopards? How'd they get past the boundaries?" I asked. "Is everyone else alright?"

"Don't worry, they got taken care of sooner than you could say peanut butter once everyone else showed up. Oh, that reminds me, why were you standing there looking like you had seen a ghost?" He asked.

"Oh, it...it was nothing. Don't worry about it." I said.

He continued, "As to how they got in, I don't know. I've talked with Chiron about it, and he seems to have come to the same conclusion as me, those monsters weren't Greek. The camp boundaries are meant to keep out Greek monsters, since those were the only ones we knew about 'til now. What you've told me about them being Egyptian, it makes sense now how they got in; I'll bet they were able to because they weren't Greek."

We sat in silence for a minute, both pondering that idea. But finally I broke it saying, "I should contact Sadie in some way, she's probably worrying her head off about not knowing where I am. I don't know if I should stay here much longer either, I don't think it would be a good idea for Greeks-slash-Romans to mix with Egyptians too thoroughly. We each have enough of our own problems to deal with."

"I agree. You feeling well enough to walk? We should tell Chiron about this," Jason said.

"Maybe," I said while swinging my legs over the side of the bed and trying to stand up. It didn't work too well, my vision went red and I felt really dizzy, so I slumped back onto the bed. "I think you might want to bring Chiron here, I probably wouldn't make it to him." I said with a small laugh.

Jason laughed with me and left to go get Chiron. When he got back I re-explained everything to Chiron.

"Well then, it seems you have an Iris message to make." He said once I had finished. Thankfully I already knew what Iris messaging was; even in the short time I had been at camp I had seen several people Iris messaging.

"I'll help you get outside so that we can make the rainbow." Jason said, reaching out his hand to help me up.

Once we were outside and I was safely leaning against the big house's porch railing, Jason went to get a garden hose that was a little ways away on the side of the big house. He uncoiled it and brought it over to where I was.

"We've got a nifty little attachment for this that sprays the water as a mist. Quite helpful for Iris messaging," He said, handing the hose as well as a golden drachma to me.

"Yeah, I see your point!" I laughed. I took the hose and started spraying it over the railing into the sunlight, shifting it ever so slightly at first to make a rainbow. I threw the drachma into the rainbow and said, "O Iris, goddess of the rainbow, please accept my offering. Show me Sadie at Brooklyn House." At first nothing happened and I worried that it hadn't worked, but then suddenly I was looking through the mist into Sadie's bedroom. She was laying on her bed just staring off into space. Okay, something is definitely wrong here, she never does that, I thought. I stood there, waiting to see how long it would take her to notice me. I could hear some music blaring in the background.

I eventually got tired of waiting, so I yelled loud enough for her to hear me over the music, "Sadie!"

She jumped about three feet in the air and looked around wildly until she saw me. I could see several different emotions in her face, first confusion, then surprise, then worry, then finally, anger, which showed the most. "CARTER KANE! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! How dare you scare me like that! I've been so worried about you, are you alright?" She asked-slash-yelled that last part with a little more concern in her voice.

I laughed at seeing her so flustered, which only made her even more mad. "Don't worry, I'm fine. It was just a misunderstanding."

"Only a misunderstanding? You've been missing for A WEEK! Do you have any idea how worried I-everyone has been?!" She said.

"I can't imagine. Hey listen, I'll be able to get back this afternoon." I looked over at Jason and he nodded. "I'll explain it all then, alright?" I said.

"Okay. But if you're not in this house by five, there are going to be consequences." She said that last part while gritting her teeth and giving me her best death-glare. "I'm gonna go tell Uncle Amos and Bast about this while I wait. You better be here by then."

"Sounds good. Don't worry, I will be there by this evening. See you then." I said.

"Bye."

I waved my hand through the mist to break the connection and turned to Jason. "We can get there by pegasi, right?" I asked.

"Yeah, of course." Jason replied.

"Oh good! I was getting a little worried for a minute there," I said.

Jason

While we waited for lunch we went back to the room Carter had stayed in and he told me all about his life. How he had traveled with his dad until just recently when he had to save the world with his sister. (not to mention his dad) He told me all about their plans for awakening their sun-god, Amun Ra. I in turn told him about what was going on here at camp. How Percy was missing, my quest with Piper and Leo, our ideas-slash-hopes that Percy was at the Roman camp that I came from and our plans for the Argo II.

We figured that since we knew of each other now, we could help each other in the future if we needed it. We decided to keep our distance and try not to bother with each others' business, but if ever one of our two groups really needed help, we knew that the other would be there.

After lunch we headed first to my cabin to grab what little possessions Carter had with him, then to the stables to get him home. I decided it would be better for him to go alone since Sadie might kill me for accidentally taking her brother. I gave Carter instructions to send the pegasus back when he got to Brooklyn House. I also gave him a bag of golden drachmas to contact me with when he needed.

We said our goodbyes and after watching him fly off into the sky towards Brooklyn, I headed back to my cabin. Alone this time.

Well, that's the end! I hope you liked it. I don't think I did too terrible for my first ever story ever that wasn't child's rubbish! Please review and tell me your view of the story.

Also, I added some more choices to the poll on my profile so please go check it out! Otherwise I don't know what to write next.

Don't worry, I'll soon be deleting that little note in the beginning soon. I just need to keep it up a bit longer though...

I probably won't be able to write any more for at least a week because I am going to family camp! I can't wait, the camp I'm going to is one of the best places ever! I might be able to put something out Saturday if you peoples go do the poll on my profile, but other than that, I'm Kiearrah Mai Rhone, signing out.

See ya peeps!
