The Adventures of the Kane Family

A/N. I had to write this for school one week so sorry if it's a little rushed. I'm also absolutely pathetic at battle scenes so... I tried my hardest to make it sound like Rick Riordan's style and I think I got it pretty good.

This isn't my normal type of Fan Fiction but, as I said, it was for school. As it was for school, a lot of the things they talk about are actually true. I will go over what in an author's note at the end if anyone's interested.

Hi everyone, it's Sadie Kane. If you've heard our first three recordings then you'll know we're all safely back at Brooklyn House. My ridiculously stuffy older brother, Carter Kane [What Carter, you are, now be quiet] is Pharaoh over all Egypt and my uncle, Amos Kane, is Chief Lector.

Carter and I are living here with all our initiates and Bast, who has come back from the gods' ridiculous exile to live with us again. Also Walt and Zia – who don't really count as initiates.

Although none of the rest of our minds have been invaded, Walt is still hosting Anubis, as he has been since our fight with Apophis. Which was almost a year ago now. It's amazing how fast time flies when you don't have a giant chaos serpent bent on destroying everything and everyone you love. [Yes Carter, I'm getting there, be patient]

As my dear brother keeps reminding me, I'm not just here to tell you about our lives since Apophis was defeated. I'm here to tell you about another great adventure we had to go through to stop that no good magician, Uncle Vinnie.

Oh, all right, Setne.

It started one day when we were all relaxing at Brooklyn House. All our initiates had the day off from magic lessons and – as it was summer – they obviously had no school. Carter, Zia, Walt and I were sitting on the roof discussing random things and listening to Freak (our, or rather, Carter's, griffin) shriek.

Carter had just brought up the excessively dumb topic [Shut up Carter, it was too and you know it] of whether or not we should get a new artifact to use for a portal and I was tuning him out when Walt sat up straight.

We all stared at him and he blurted out, "emergency, Anubis said to get to the scrying bowl immediately."

None of us hesitated. We all ran to Carter's room where our only scrying bowl was located. Walt/Anubis and Bast were our best informants as to what was going on outside of Brooklyn House. When one of them said something was wrong, we listened.

When we reached the scrying bowl, we saw the Chief Lector or Uncle Amos as we call him, staring back at us, looking agitated.

"Children, we need you to come to Egypt immediately. It's Khaemwaset again, we need your help."

Oh great, I thought, Uncle Vinnie's at it again. We didn't even get a year's peace.

[Carter said to tell you that his name's not really Uncle Vinnie, who cares]

"We're coming," my brother said, suddenly sounding authoritative, "We'll tell Bast then open a portal. Be there in a couple of minutes."

Even though I make most of our portals, it still sounds weird to me to tell someone halfway across the world you'd be there in a few minutes.

Anyway, all four of us rushed to tell Bast that we were leaving, which turned out to be unnecessary as she had been sent the same emergency warning as Anubis. Although, surprisingly, neither one seemed to know what was wrong exactly.

We then went back up to the roof where we had been earlier because that's where our portal artifact, a thrilling old chunk of limestone, is located.
