The Bloody… Crown?

Chapter 1

SPOV

Hey. Sadie here. In case you all forgot who I am (although I find that VERY unlikely) I am Sadie Kane, 14 year old magician and the former host of Isis, the powerful (and very annoying) goddess of magic. So now your all filled in on the important things about me, let me just say one thing... I hate Carter.

Carter is my older brother, who is quite full of himself, quite annoying, and next in line for being "Pharaoh of the House of Life". Oh yeah, he is also the former-host of Isis' son, Horus.

Anyway, back to me. It all started when I was daydreaming in my bedroom, while staring at my picture of Anubis, the incredibly hot god of the dead, which was hanging in my closet. (Carter says I've become a creeper, but he's one to talk. That's right Carter I WILL bring up you stalking Zia through your little scrying bowl) I didn't realize Carter was in my room until he stood in front of my picture and screamed my name.

I jerked back to the real world and yelled the first thing that came to my mind: " What the bloody hell do you want?!"

Yeah... Real brilliant Sadie. You're a genius now.

Carter, of course, had a comeback that made me seem like a boy-crazy girl just like my mates, Liz and Emma.

"Well sorry to interrupt your impossibly wonderful trip to Anubis-Land, (Really Carter? Anubis-Land?) but we have to plan out the initiates lessons for this week."

I was about to say something that probably wouldn't have helped my case when a very familiar voice came from behind me. I whipped around and stood face to face with the incredibly gorgeous god whose chocolate eyes made me melt.

"What'd I do?" Anubis asked.

I no doubt looked at him like a lightning bolt had struck me. I mean who wouldn't have? With his black hair being perfectly tousled, his black T-shirt with the silver skull outline that hugged his chest perfectly, his ripped up black leather jacket, his black combat boots, and his warm, chocolate brown eyes that make any girl that looks at them melt, what girl would have stood a chance?

"W-What are you doing here?!" I stammered. It came out harsher than I had intended. Anubis got a painfully hurt expression on his face, but before i could re-phrase it, he did something that made me want to punch myself or crawl in a hole and never come out.

He looked at my closet.

That's right. He saw the picture of him andimmediately his face turned from a hurt expression, to one that was full of mischief. His eyes gleamed with amusement as he turned and looked at me.

"Nice picture." He stated with a smile tugging at thecorners of his lips. I' m quite sure my face was as red as the blood colored streak in my hair. I jumped up from the bed faster than you can say "Ra" and slammed the doors shut. But he had seen it. That I already knew. Carter cleared his throat in the uncomfortable silence and said, "Actually, Anubis, you have perfect timing. I was just about to tell Sadie about Dads... What do you call it? A crown?... Anyway i was just about to tell her that it went missing."

Anubis frowned a little and said slowly, "Yes... But what does this have to do with me having 'perfect timing'?" He had a very confused - and hot- look on his face.

"Yeah Carter. What does this have to do with him?" i questioned. I already knew the answer of course, but i was seriously hoping Carter would spew out something totally different.

"Because he's coming with us to try and find it."Carter replied, stating it rather bluntly if you ask me.

Anubis and I looked at each other, then back at Carter and simultaneously said, "What?!"

So, what do you think? Let me know so I can make them even better!
