'Carterrrr!! C'mon, I've been waiting out here for ages, what're you even doing in there!!'

Sadie was pounding on the door of the bathroom, her foot tapping impatiently on the floor.

'Quit hogging all the warm water, im going to get frostbite with how much you're using!'

She was met with no reply, which made her more frustrated.

'I swear by ra, if you don't not get out there in the next five minutes or so, I will break down the door and!-' she faltered for a moment when she heard Carter.....

No....it couldn't be.

He was always her big brother, Carter never cried!

She put her ear to the door and her hand on the handle, as she heard the sound again. True, she had to strain her ears through the flowing water

"Mnnn....h-how- i cant, how would i?"

Her eyes widened as she realised the dor was locked.

Oh by the gods no! Carter was not going be alone for this, it was clear he needed someone! Or at least thats what she told herself as the whimpers got louder and soft sobs started to echo off the walls of the bathroom.

She looked towards Amos' room, though she knew that the chance he would have been able to help was slim. He'd been rather sick and frail since his possession by set.

Sadie sighed and rummaged her pockets for a bobbypin, her hands eagerly grasping said pin after a few seconds of rummaging. Lifting it to the lock and trying to manoeuvre it open.

She knew she could do it, it's was her favourite trick to show off to Liz and Emma when the classroom door was locked. [Or when the principals car was locked, but that was another story in itself]

She gently opened the door and was met with the sight of Carter slumped against the wall crying, his clothes damp from the mist.

'Oh Carter, what happened to you?' She sighed softly, resting her hand softly on his shoulder.

'I-its just-' his voiced cracked, his deep brown eyes now red and swollen. 'First its dad, whose technically dead now, then it's Amos getting possessed by set, and then it's zia-'

He started breaking down harder, the thought of his "technically-not-a-girlfriend-but-made-out-of-clay" made his head hurts on good days and made him break down on worser ones.

'Carter- listen, I know it's...hard...more than that, actually, to cope with....well...everything that happened on the last few days! I mean, we've had to fight set, pave the way for a new generation of magician's and basically a munch more mind breaking stuff!'

He looked up to his sister, noticing tears pricking in her eyes as well

'we've had to learn how to do an entirely new branch of magic and save the world- something not even the strongest adult magicians could do!'

'DONT YOU THINK I KNOW THAT?!-' Carter let out, his frame shaking and his hands balling into fists. 'I don't know what to do anymore....how I'm supposed to lead...'

'How WE'RE supposed to lead, carter. You aren't alone in this, okay? You've got me, Amos, bast, heck, even khufu! Just....remember that, okay?"

She patted his back and handed him a tissue.

"Now quit hogging the hot water and hurry up! I need to take a bath!"
