Lauren's POV

 

I followed Carter through the mansion. I kept staring at things and losing him. But after a few seconds I'd always find him again. "Why did Sadie have my room all the way at the other end?" I asked Carter. "I don't know. I don't think it was the back, but you were on the top floor." he said. Now that I think about it, Sadie had been leading me up a lot of stairs. I looked down. And now I was going down stairs. I'd have to remember that next time I wanted to go to my room. Go up five flights of stairs and look around. I could find out what door later. Right now I was hungry. We got to the great room and he lead me out onto the terrace . Jaz, Walt, Sadie (who was now awake but looking sleepy), and Bast. Khufu was eating cheerios. I noticed they all had the white ninja clothes on.

 

"It's the cotton. Magician should always wear cotton. Make sure you watch what you were." Jaz said reading my mind. Was I that easy to read? I hope not. I pulled up a chair and sat next to Jaz. "Thanks." I said. We ate in silence. "Well this is awkward." Sadie blurted out. "Well what do you guys do here?" I asked. "Well right now we have to wait and train." Carter said. "Oh. Um, do I get a wand or something?" I said remembering those from the recording. "Sure come with me." Carter said. I got up and left the rest of my dinner, I wasn't that hungry anymore. We went up two floors and down two doors on each side. We stopped at the third door on the right. I started to walk in but he said "Stay out here. It's really messy." then he walked in and left the door open a crack. I had to fight the urge to peek in. Five minutes later he came out with a boom-a-rang. Then I remembered that's how they're suppose to look like that. "Here. I thought this would suit you." he said handing me the wand. "Walt and Jaz told me you made a bush light on fire. I knew someone who also used fire and they used a staff also, so here." he handed me a staff also.

 

I looked at the both. On the wand carvings of swirls and drawing of fire in orange. The wand itself was like a smooth wooden boom-a-rang, and like a sandy color. It also had a hieroglyphic for cat. "Woh" I said realizing I'd read it. "What?" Carter asked. "The hieroglyphic....I could read it." I said surprised. He studied me. "I think I know the perfect goddess for you to follow. Come on," he said taking off we went up another floor and he turned some corners and went down to the first floor. "What was that all about?" I asked annoyed. "I was helping you get to know the place. If you lost me, you'd have to keep track of what things we'd passed." He explained. He went into the, I'm guessing library. I followed after him. I gasped when I got in. It was barely anything like a library. Scrolls every where, barely any books. He went somewhere and picked a scroll and brought it to me. "Sekhmet. Mostly known for the goddess of lions but she has fire too. And since you read the hieroglyph for cat and you seem to be good a fire...." he said.

 

I looked at my staff. Hieroglyphs for lions, fire, and for some odd reason there was a sun at the top. The staff was almond colored, just my size, and had paintings, carvings, and swirls all around it. I could also see the hieroglyphics for the name Sekhmet. I guess she really was meant for me. I nodded. He handed me the scroll. "Study up. You'll be learning about her for your whole life. Hopefully in time you'll be able to host her." he said leaving me in the library. I decided I'd go up to my room. I found my way up the stairs okay but got lost seven times trying to find my room.  After I found it quickly got a laptop (that I happily found in a draw!) and looked up the hieroglyphics for my name and wrote them on the door as well as the hieroglyphic for Sekhmet. After that I tried to read the scroll but It was really boring. So instead I listened to my Ipod for about an hour while surfing the web. I looked at the clock. 10 pm. I went out on my balcony. I watched the stars till 10:30. Then I went to bed.

Then it finally hit me. Both of my parents are dead. I've lost my sister, my best friend, and the best neighbor I ever had. I mean, I've moved around a lot. My last move to here was three weeks before school finished. I decided I had wanted to go to public school instead of boarding school. I had always gone to boarding schools. I had been to twenty five of the fifty states at boarding schools. I was tired of them. I guess my mom was upset at them too because she allowed me to live with her. She had been living in that apartment for two years. I was going to go there right away but the school said no. We had all kinds of trouble trying to get me home. Then my mom died. I didn't even get to live with her. They still wouldn't let me go back. So I ran away. I'm glad I did because after I left, the school went up in flames. I think it was because I'm a magician but I didn't know it at that point. Thank goddess the boarding school was in New York. I called Bethany and she helped me find my way to the apartment. She had been living with mom. I was jealous of her at that point. Right now I really wanted her. I didn't even notice, but I was crying. I never cry. But tonight could be an exception. I mean, wouldn't you cry if you had lost everything?

That last paragraph is not true at all. I've actuallly created a different backstory so that more things would make sense. So none of that is really true. I'll edit that out later.

Only the first seven chapters have been edited so if things don't make sense, it's because I haven't edited them yet. Thanks!
