[You may have broken their brains in half talking about that, Carter.]
Sorry 'bout my brother, he can mostly be BORING.
Anyhow, I went to my first class which was Biology. I went inside the classroom and saw only about 12 students were there. The teacher was already there, I took a random seat. More students started to come then the lesson started.
The teacher told us to introduce ourselves to the person next to us but no one was next to me until a boy came rushing in, panting. "Sorry, I'm late." The teacher nodded and gestured to the seat next to me. The boy thanked the teacher and sat next to me. He sat down and faced me with a blank face.
"Sadie Kane." I said. I looked at his face and got shocked. He looked like Anubis! They both had the same tousled hair, chocolate brown eyes and both of them wear all black! He looked handsome. Obviously? I just said that he looked like Anubis.
"Nico. Nico di Angelo." He spoke. His voice full of awareness. I squinted my eyes at him. He had a dark aura. It was summer and he was wearing all black. Maybe that's why? Stupid reason. I know.
"You're Italian?" I blurted out for no reason maybe it was because of his surname? "Yeah. And you have a British accent."
I nodded at him. "I grew up in London." He smiled really slightly and nodded. We fell silent. I scanned him, he had dark deep eyes. He wore a skull ring. It looked like everything he wore was expensive.
"Okay, everyone! Eyes on me please!" The teacher shouted out. "I want you all to stand up on your seats and introduce yourself to the class, understand?" Everyone nodded. "Let's start from the right side." Everyone started introducing themselves then the bell rang. I went out the classroom when my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"It's me Zia. Carter and I are waiting for you at the cafeteria."
"Kay, I'll be right there. Bye!"
I went to the cafeteria and sat in front of Carter and Zia. "What was your first class?" Carter asked. "Uh, Biology but we just introduced ourselves the whole lesson." I responded. "How 'bout you—
"Carter? Can we sit here with you? There's no more table left." A boy with sea green eyes asked. I felt a strong woosh of aura pushing through. I glanced at Carter with a suspecting look but he just avoided my eyes.
"Percy? You found a table yet?" A girl with blond curly hair asked the boy with sea green eyes which I'm guessing his name was Percy. The girl's voice seemed confident. Not in a bad way. In a leader-like (?) way.
"So Carter, can we?" Percy asked again. Carter looked at me asking if it was okay, I shrugged then he looked at Zia, she shrugged too.
"Yeah, sure." Carter said.
"Thanks." Percy said and sat next to Carter. He was in front of me. I locked eyes with him for a moment. Surely I wasn't giving up with the staring contest since I started it. Carter cleared his throat. It broke the eye contact. Zia gave me a warning glance. I noticed the blonde girl elbowing Percy. Must be his girlfriend.
The girl with blond curly hair sat next to me. "I'm Annabeth Chase." She introduced and faced Percy. I sat up awkwardly and drank my water.
"Right, I'm Percy Jackson and thanks again for letting us sit here."
"No biggie, I'm Carter Kane." Carter introduced. I laughed. Hard. Biggie? HAHAHA xD Biggie is British Slang for poo xD I guess none of them had heard of it. My laugh faded out.
"Zia, Zia Rashid." Zia spoke after my laughing session.
They all stared at me like they were waiting for me to say something when Carter cleared his throat and murmured "Your name."
"Sorry, I'm Sadie Kane." I spoke while avoiding the eye contact of Zia. She knew I was trying not to glare at people. I can't help it! They were suspicious.
"So, you guys are related." Percy pointed out. Carter and I nodded.
"Sadie takes after our mom and I take after our dad." Carter said
After that sentence the bell rang, a lady suddenly came to our table and asked us to help her clean up. We all looked at each other and shrugged. I mean why not? We didn't want to stay in the classroom. But it did seem strange.
We were now the last people in the cafeteria, cleaning up each table with a wet cloth on one hand and a dry cloth on another hand. A gust of cold wind blew against our skin and we heard a crackled laugh in the kitchen.
"What was that?" Percy voiced out. Then suddenly a creature with two snake trunks and full battle armor broke through the kitchen wall and hissed.
"Dracanae!" Annabeth yelled out. "Percy!" He glanced at Annabeth and gestured his head towards us. Dracanae. That wasn't in my vocabulary. It didn't sound Egyptian. I took a step back. How can they see it? Wait. Dracanae is a Greek monster. What if? No. It's too early to meet them. Well, guess we found our clue.
Percy took out a pen and uncapped it, and ran at the Dracanae which turned to dust. Carter, Zia and me just stood there trying to register what just happened.
"I wanted to fight." Murmured Zia, right on that cue 3 more appeared and headed towards us; Zia summoned a fireball and shot it straight in the chest. Carter took his khopesh from the duat and sliced the head of dracanae. Before I could do anything Percy stepped into the action and thrust Riptide on the back of the dracanae's shoulder which was headed towards me and turned to dust.
"You guys okay?" Annabeth asked us. We all nodded.
"Yeah, we are." I replied
"We?" Percy asked. "No offense, but you didn't do anything."
"I would've done something but someone helped me and now telling me I did not do anything." I retorted
Percy smiled sheepishly. "Oh yeah, Sorry."
"It's okay, good thing I didn't waste my energy." I said
"Wait, you're actually saying you can do something?" Percy asked. I rolled my eyes at him. "Oh. No-
"Sadie, quit it." Zia spoke and placed her hand on my shoulder, she then looked over to Annabeth and Percy, "You guys. You guys don't seem like Egyptians." Percy raised his eyebrow, "Of course, not. We're Gree- Wait. Did you say, Egyptians?" Zia nodded.
"No, I was thinking more of like, you know, Zia could be a daughter of Hephaestus. Carter could be like son of Ares." I laughed. They all looked at me. " Carter? Ares? Hahaha. This dear brother of mine is more interested into books," I stopped laughing and glanced at them, "You said something about sons and daughters."
"Percy, we have to talk to Chiron about this." Annabeth asked
"Who's Chiron?" I asked. "Do you mind if we take you somewhere?" Annabeth asked. "Where? Why?" I questioned back.
"Yeah, you guys really won't come with us without explanation." Annabeth said and then looked up, "I hope I'm talking about something right." She glanced at us, "We're demigods. Greek. Half- human, half- God. Half- bloods." We didn't answer. We weren't shocked. Well, for the demigod part. Yes. But the Greek God part? Nope.
"We're Egyptian Magicians. Not like those who pull off tricks. Well, kinda like that but a different type. We host. Gods. Not a good feeling but yeah." I finally spoke.
"I would really want to know more about this but I have a feeling after the fight that just occurred, we need to get out if this place quick." Annabeth spoke. We all agreed.
"We need transportation." Zia spoke.
"Let's call Nico." Percy said. I was thinking of the boy in my class, you know the Anubis look-a-like.
"But he doesn't have a phone." Annabeth said
"Let's Iris Message him." Percy suggested, Annabeth nodded. They went to the kitchen and we followed suit. Percy then filled the sink with water, murmured some words-"What are you doing?" Zia asked. "Iris is the goddess of rainbows and messenger of the gods." Annabeth answered. I was thinking of a goddess named Iris. Greek. They threw in a golden coin. Wait, that's a drachma.
"He's coming any moment now." Percy said. A shadow appeared and revealed an exhausted Nico.
"What are you doing here?" I asked Nico.
"What are you doing here?" Nico asked.
"I asked you first." I said furrowing my eyebrows.
"You guys know each other?" Carter asked. "Yup." I answered.
"You guys just bumped into each other or are you guys in the same class?" Zia asked.
"Percy? Annabeth? Why are they here?" Nico asked them.
"We'll explain it to you as soon as we get back to the camp. We just fought Dracanaes. I feel like they're gonna come back anytime now. " Annabeth said.
"Wait. Pause. What camp are you talking about?" I asked. "You'll see when we get there." I squinted my eyes, "What if you guys are just actually gonna bring us there to kill us?" Percy shook his head, "Nope. We swear on the River of Styx. We won't hurt you when we get there." I glanced at him before feeling convinced.
Nico glanced at me. The sound of how he looked at me, it ticked me off. I was just asking. He was this friendly and reassuring guy at first then he sees me for the second time and acts like he dislikes me.
"I was just asking." I said sternly to him and went next to Carter. "Whatever." He murmured. I gave Carter and Zia the look. Later. Carter mouthed. I nodded.
"Nico, we need a lift to Camp." Percy asked. "With them? Nico asked emphasizing the them referring to me and looked at me with disgust. I don't know what happened to him. He got the looks of Anubis but the attitude is not even one percent same. He dislikes me? I dislike him too. I know I'm being a brat but I didn't start it.
"Yes, with them." Percy said. "Fine." Nico grumbled. A shadow circle appeared in front of Nico. "We can go now." And we all went in. The feeling of it was like riding the fastest rollercoaster.
"Welcome, to Camp Half Blood." Percy welcomed. All I saw was strawberry patches and fields. "This is your camp?" I asked looking around again. "Oh sorry 'bout that." Annabeth apologized. "I, Annabeth Chase gives you the permission to enter camp-half blood." After that said I looked around and now saw an amazing place; there was a lot of cabins, a climbing wall with lava (I want that in Brooklyn House), an archery field, etc. There's more but I'm too lazy to tell you everything.
"Chiron! We've found uhh New people?." Percy said. A half-man and half-horse walked over to us and looked at us with a thin smile but it quickly disappeared and turned into a slight warm smile.
"A centaur." My brother pointed out.
"Yes." Chiron said and smiled warmly.
"I bet you've been called a pony before." I said. Zia nudged me to shut up. Chiron nodded. "Yes! I have been called that many times. Back to the question. I would like to talk with them for now. Children, would you mind coming with me to the Big House?" I looked at Zia and Carter. We were unsure. I already felt like we were not supposed to be here. I was hoping Isis would come into my mind and tell me orders. We couldn't say no. We had to agree. We needed explanations. Information. They might be what we needed.
We nodded and followed them to the 'Big House'. It was a nice but worn blue color. We went inside. There were stairs that led upstairs. It had an eerie (eery) feeling. But I decided to leave it out of my mind. We sat down around the large table.
"Please start explaining as soon as you please." Chiron spoke and patiently waited. We looked over to each other again. Zia nodded as if to say, 'I'll explain.' Carter and I nodded slowly. We were unsure of whether to reveal information. But Zia was, I guess the best at not accidentally blabbing out words.
"We are not," Zia carefully spoke, "Greeks. We are Egyptians." She looked at Chiron, "I suppose you have an idea of what I'm trying to explain?" She said it as if she's asking Chiron if he knew anything about the Greek sending the Egyptians something. Chiron lowered his head and inhaled. He slowly looked up and nodded. "I'm guessing you children are the ones they sent?" I smiled, "Only the best of the best." I joked around. The demigods looked confused. Chiron nodded, "Thank you very much for your acceptance. May I ask, the decision is made by whom?"
"We seem to have not introduced our names yet." Carter voiced out, "I'm Carter Kane." Zia and I followed in.
"Sadie Kane." I introduced. "Zia Rashid." She followed in. Chiron smiled, "I guess the best of the best is true." I tilted my head, "I was only joking but I'll give in to that compliment."
"Anyone mind explaining what you guys are talking about?" Percy voiced out. Chiron nodded and exhaled, "Children, these are the Egyptian Magicians." We said nothing about us being Magicians, though. Maybe they did research. Wait. How? Did the Gods talk about this already?
"Yes, they told us about that already. You guys were talking something about something 'sent'?" Annabeth spoke.
"I will be revealing something that only you guys will know for now. Later on, I will be telling the others. But for now, it'll be only you children. You see, there is a new problem arising. We received threat. Around four days ago. We also received an attack in the Empire State Building. After the incident, we decided that there would be more of them and we couldn't defeat the crisis without asking for help. Surely, we have forces with the Romans. But we found out that they weren't only Greek and Roman. We had an idea of what type some of them were. So we agreed on sending a distress letter, with a few disagreements. We all finally agreed on sending it. There are still rivalries. We did not know how or what they would do to answer our call of help. But I'm guessing that Carter, Zia and Sadie are their answers."
The demigods squinted their eyes at us. "It's a bit unbelievable that the Gods have asked for help."
I agreed. "Anyway, we have to bring you guys to the 21st Nome. We'll be doing the same things there as we did here." Carter flicked my forehead and told them, "If you would like to come now, that is. We can wait for a few more minutes."
"Oh, no! It's alright. I'm guessing Amos needs to meet them too?" Chiron spoke. We all looked at him.
"You know Amos?" "Who's Amos?" Zia and Leo said at the same time. Chiron nodded and said, "Yes. I do. Now go along children." He ushered like he wanted us (including the demigods) to leave. We walked out of the Big House.
"What was that all about?" I asked. "He's not usually like that. Something weird was going on," Annabeth spoke. "Maybe he's been possessed!" Percy joked around which in result, received a flick on the forehead.
