Hey guys I'm back!

Disclaimer: I don't own the Hobbit. I really have no clue who it actually belongs to, but not me.

Aria

The first thing that came to mind was a giant fruit bat swooping down and destroying the evil armies in the hobbit. Then it changed to, We're going to die by the hand of a fruit bat.I leaped out the window and hit the ground running.

"Ha-di!" I yelled pointing at the gate. It exploded and I ducked under a rather large piece of metal.

I heard a grunt and looked back to see a magician fall to the ground in a heap.

"Exit strategy, quick!" I heard Carter yell.

"The Louvre." Bast grabbed their hands. "It's got the closest portal."

Three blocks away. We'd never make it.

"Sadie," Bast called as we ran. "You'll have only seconds to open the portal."

"Where is it?" She yelled.

We dashed across the rue de Rivoli into a wide plaza surrounded by the wings of the Louvre. Bast made straight for the glass pyramid at the entrance, glowing in the dusk.

"You can't be serious," Sadie said. "That isn't a real pyramid."

"Of course it's real," Bast said. "The shape gives a pyramid its power. It is a ramp to the heavens."

The bats were all around us now—biting our arms, flying around our feet. As their numbers increased, it got harder to see or move.

I gritted my teeth and drew my knives. I knew their metal would attract Bast's attention, but I didn't care. I had a little sister to protect.

Carter reached for his sword, then apparently remembered it wasn't there anymore. He'd lost it at Luxor. He swore and rummaged around in his workbag.

"Don't slow down!" Bast warned.

Carter pulled out his wand. In total frustration, he threw it at a bat. I thought this a pointless gesture, but the wand glowed white-hot and thumped the bat solidly on the head, knocking it out of the air. The wand ricocheted through the swarm, thumping six, seven, eight of the little monsters before returning to Carter's hand.

"Not bad," Sadie said. "Keep it up!"

We arrived at the base of the pyramid. The plaza was thankfully empty. The last thing I wanted was my embarrassing death by fruit bats posted on YouTube.

"Sadie!" I yelled slicing a row of bats out of the air. "Any time now!"

"Shut it!" She yelled back.

I grinned.

"One minute until sundown," Bast warned. "Our last chance for summoning is now."

She unsheathed her knives and started slicing bats out of the air, trying to keep them away from me. Carter's wand flew wildly, knocking fruit bats every which way.

I sighed noting how much he looked like his father.

Your father Kronos's voice pointed out inside my head.

I yelled in frustration and turned that into energy for battle.

You have to face the truth. He told me.

"Shut up!" I yelled. "I'm not your sister! Go back to being dead!"

I knew Carter and Sadie would interrogate me about this later anyway but better not give them any more leverage.

I would rather not return to that place.

If you don't shut up I'm going to personally send you back to Tartarus!

I'll go away for now.

I heard a sudden crack of thunder and looked up to see a portal open at the top of the pyramid.

"You're kidding me." I muttered.

"Climb!" Bast said. Easy for her—she was a cat.

"The side is too steep!" Carter objected.

He was right. There was no way they'd get there in time.

"I'll toss you," Bast said.

"Excuse me?" Carter protested, but she picked him up by his collar and pants and tossed him up the side of the pyramid. He skittered to the top in a very undignified manner and slipped straight through the portal.

"Now you, Sadie," Bast said. "Come on!"

Sadie took a step towards her.

"Stop!"

Sadie froze.

"Sadie, don't listen," Bast warned. "Come here."

"The cat goddess deceives you," the magician said. "She abandoned her post. She endangered us all. She will lead you to ruin."

I could tell he meant it. He was absolutely convinced of what he said.

"What does he mean?" Sadie asked. "What did you do wrong?"

"We have to leave," Bast warned. "Or they will kill us."

Sadie looked at the portal. "Toss me."

Bast grabbed her. "See you in America."

The magician roared. "Surrender!"

I could see what he would do to Bast if he got a hold of her. I couldn't let that happen.

"Bast!" I yelled.

She looked at me, I could see fear in her eyes. She was afraid to face her past, she didn't need that.

"Get them to Phoenix!" I told her. "Keep your promise!"

Bast looked at me with a new emotion, on I knew all too well, Guilt.

Then she took off up the side of the pyramid.

The magician started after her, before I pulled out my twine.

"Tas!"

It whipped towards him with extreme speed. He fell to the ground in a heap bound in rope.

The other magician started after me and I knew I was going to die if I didn't do something.

I gathered my energy and focused all my emotions into my next spell, my hate, my fear, my anger, my pride, and my hope.

"Ha-Di!"

The pyramid exploded, sending me flying back into a wall. I tried to get up but I was exhausted and then the pain struck my.

I felt like a knife was being shoved into my gut.

The last thing I remember was the two magicians approaching me.

"What happened?" One asked.

"The fool." The other said. "She drew from her own reserves."

Then I fell unconscious.

So Tada! I have been trying to update more often. I'm also really sorry for those of you reading the one about Kia, I just can't come up with any more ideas. Well that's it bye guys!
