Sadie POV
I looked into the mirror and sighed. 'Great' I thought, Apophis is rising up from the abyss, the house of life is still going against us and my hair is a rat's nest. I checked the clock, "10 am."
I got dressed and headed downstairs, Carter had his head in a book (what's new?), Felix had summoned some penguins, Jazz was strumming a guitar, Walt was looking good (again, what's new?). The rest of the trainees were stuffing themselves full with breakfast. I just grabbed a Ribena (imported from the UK) and a bagel.
I went upstairs and flopped down on my bed, I scrolled through my playlists and found the one I was looking for "Bored." I listened to One Direction's tracks while staring at my poster of Anubis (who you probably recognize as the god of funerals, and you might know that I have had a crush on him for the longest time.) Then suddenly I heard a voice, "Nice picture." I turned, and standing right in front of me was Anubis himself. He was dressed in his usual attire, a black shirt that hugged his chest, a leather jacket, black jeans and combat boots but he was also wearing a weird looking amulet on his neck. I wanted to die just there, but instead I managed to stammer 5 words; "Wha-what are you d-doing here?" Anubis looked at me with those gorgeous brown eyes, "I was just dropping by. but it seems you have company." He looked at his "self-portrait" and I could see a small smile tugging at his lips, I wasn't sure if it was caused by amusement or mock curiosity of why I had a picture of him in my room. I ran to my closet and closed the door shut, and I was sure Anubis could see my face turning beet red. I finally got hold of myself and then I spoke; "How could you drop-by? I thought you could only inhabit places of death." Anubis smiled, "Lord Osiris gave me this amulet, it let's me go to other places besides my territory. I asked him to grant me a... special request." This time, it was his turn to blush. "So...you asked him if you could...visit me?" I asked, my tone turning softer and more flustered by the minute. Apparently, I had snapped back to my ordinary self because I started to retort, "Even though your the god of funerals, does not mean you could just barge into my room anytime you want!"
Anubis looked at me with a smile. "I'm sorry Lady Kane but Lord Osiris had sent me here to retrieve you. He want's to have a word with you, without your brother." I could have sworn he put emphasis and mock formality on the word Lady Kane. "So, Carter isn't coming along?" I asked, Anubis nodded, "Lord Osiris requested to speak to you, and you only." I didn't want to admit it, but I felt flattered because my dad had spent so much time with Carter, traveling around the world and they only visited me twice a year. Now, for the first time ever, my dad is requesting that he talk to me rather than me and Carter. Don't get me wrong; I'm not jealous, I'm just glad I could get to spend sometime with my dad alone, even if it is just chatting.
I got off the bed and joined Anubis, "So? What are you waiting for?" I said "To the Land of the dead!" Anubis smiled at me and made a door of pure shadow, we stepped in and disappeared.
