This story has been revised and edited multiple times just so you all know. I think I'm pretty satisfied with the way it is now, so if you want to reread it, go ahead! I can say it's way better than how it was originally posted when I was eleven. Do not fear, however, as I haven't changed the course of events in the story, so rereading isn't necessary unless you want to.

Please tell me your honest opinions!

DISCLAIMER: I'm writing the story but I don't own any characters, or TKC!

OK, so I can safely say I'm currently recording this a year after the (exhausting, horrible, tragic) battle with Apophis. Carter and I recently decided to record the events happening as of now, so we can update you all on things. Who knows? Sending out these tapes might gain us more young initiates for training here in Brooklyn. [And since I'm so much better than Carter, I'm going to narrate first for you all. Be thankful. I'm sure from hearing our previous tapes you think that Carter is a lousy storyteller, am I right? Admit I am the better narrator! Haha!]

Ah, yes, getting off topic...

So...where should I begin?

[Carter says that most of you are interested in my love life. Yeah, right. I mean, honestly. Why in the world would you be obsessed with me and two boys that I'm so torn about? One of them being an Egyptian god (Anubis), who is impossible for me to date, but I still very much like. And another one (Walt) who is mortal, sweet, caring, but (was) dying because of a curse. Where's the appeal to that? I don't understand.]

Anyway, if you are all really obsessed with my love life as Carter says, I guess I'll tell you about something that happened last week with Anubis (and my parents...). It started like this.

Carter and I were having a pretty good time in Brooklyn House after the war. Hanging out with our trainees, blowing stuff up with magic, Jaz having to break up fights between me and Carter, occasionally flirting with Walt, having unimportant arguments here and there, among other fun stuff. It was the first time we've altogether experienced a sort-of normal life. I mean, we've all been having fun and doing regular mortal stuff (though we have never completely backed down from all the magic. Ever.). The gods haven't contacted us since the Defeat of Apophis celebration we had last year. Not even our godly father or ghostly Mum have wished to see us.

So, one day, on Saturday, I was in my room, listening to Adele on my iPod. I was staring at my painting of Anubis and thinking of him. Goodness. It didn't take much time, however, for me to realize that Adele was singing a love song and I was thinking of Anubis at the same time. Ugh. Maybe Adele should make a new album with topics other than men, I thought, as I turned off my iPod.

"Sadie!" I heard Carter yell.

What does he want?...I went downstairs and asked Carter why he called for me.

"Mom and Dad want us to go to the Land of the Dead to them; they want to talk with us."

"How do you know this?" I asked, wondering where he all of a sudden got this from.

"Well, first, Anubis is here; and he's told me about it." Carter said, gesturing towards Anubis' direction.

I turned around and saw the most gorgeous guy in existence. [Or god. Whatever!]

Immediately my mind went to: Oh gods of Egypt! How do I look? Are my clothes okay? How about my hair? Anubis looks so yummy today. I looked in a mirror that was behind Anubis and saw that I looked presentable enough. For me at least.

Anubis greeted me with a hello and a small smile.

" . . .Hi. . ." I replied, smiling slightly back at him.

"I have to take you two to your parents. They wish to speak to you."

"So are we going right now or when?" Carter asked.

"Follow me, please," Anubis said opening a portal.

"Wait!" I said, remembering my iPod. I know, very stupid reason for interrupting Anubis while he was making a portal. But hey, I need my music even if it means taking it to the Land of the Dead.

". . . I forgot something. BRB."

"What do you possibly need to take to the Land of the Dead?" asked Carter, exasperated.

Naturally, I ignored him and was going to get my iPod until Anubis spoke, "I could help you go get whatever you need to bring."

"Sure." I replied; going up the stairs to my room, Anubis following me. I saw Carter make an overly-protective-brother-mode-face. That's just how he is. [Oh, yes you are, and everybody knows it!]

I opened the door to my room, looking for where I had left my iPod. I quickly snatched it and placed it inside my jean pocket.

"Okay, I found what I was looking f-"

Anubis was gazing at the painting that I had of him. How embarrassing. Should have closed up the bloody picture, stupid.

He turned around as he heard me speak.

He looked at the iPod in my hand and said, "You need to bring that? I thought you were to bring something important for your parents."

"Excuse me, sir. but my iPod is very important. It's not for my parents, but for my own hearing pleasure." I saucily retorted.

"Your sharp tongue once again does what it does best, naturally. I have nothing else to say."

Scowling, I muttered 'let's just go', but he had, apparently, not heard me.

"That is a fascinating picture." he said with a smirk, looking back at my poster of him, "Tell me, why do you own such?"

Stupid me, stupid me. You should've closed it up before Carter called you!

I could not find my voice yet a few moments later, I glared at Anubis, saying, "None of your business. Let's go."

"But this is me, isn't it?"

Quickly, I closed the closet so the painting could no longer be seen, and walked to the door. "Let's just go. Now."

Of course he followed me out the door. He knew better than to argue with me. But I heard him mutter something quietly. I didn't respond though; Mum and Dad wanted to see me!

When we arrived downstairs, Carter was eating his daily bar of Twix. Seriously, how does he never get sick of those things? [I know they taste good, but still!]

"Hey, Carter. I'm sorry for interrupting your Twix time, but we have to go."

He looked up, and finished eating that last bit of his chocolate bar.

"Alright," he said, and stood up from where he was sitting, "Are we going now or are you two going to keep me waiting again?"

Anubis looked slightly guilty, but continued to open the portal to the Land of the Dead.

"Carter, Sadie, step through." Anubis instructed us.

Carter went in first. I followed behind but was stopped by Anubis. He smiled sweetly, offering me his hand [No, not like that Carter.] I looked down, hiding my reddened face. We stepped through the portal together.

Review! Please...I would really like to know if you like my writing or not. I will try to update ASAP.
