I don't own anything

Sadie Kane (c) Rick Riordan

Anubis (c) *shrug* I don't know, the Eygptians

Sadie was currently sitting in the rain outside Uncle Amos' house. The rain disguised her tears, as if the rain were crying with her. She was sitting here because she and Anubis had gotten into a fight, not like a minor fight.

It was a full blown rage and anger fest, with some hurtful words and insults. She couldn't even remember what they fought about. Her clothes stuck to her skin, making her feel vulnerable and weak.

Carter, Bast, Amos and even Khufu had tried to comfort her, but everyone gave up.

She and Carter haven't known each long, but when it came to feelings, both were a bit timid. Especially since Carter had found out that Zia, his 'not girlfriend' was actually a clay substitute, a shabti, he had been some what depressed, but still the same weird brother.

Sadie, on the other hand, had gotten somewhat closer to Anubis. For a god of the dead, he was fun and cool guy. She didn't consider him a boyfriend, but a very close friend. She kissed him once, but it was because she sick and Anubis was trying to cheer her up.

But now, just a mention of his name, a picture, phrase, anything mentioning him will make Sadie break down in tears. She wished her mother was here, to give her advice, but of course; she wasn't there.

Sadie sat there for hours everyday, thinking about various things; Anubis, her mother, Carter, her father, Anubis, Isis, Set, Zia, and Anubis. She stared at the rose he sent her. It was black, of course; coming from a god of the dead. She could see his eyes, those mesmerizing chocolate brown eyes…

Sadie shook her head. Why should she be thinking of that jerk? He broke her heart, made her vulnerable, heck! He even made her think she liked him.

Sadie fiddled with her red streaked hair, wondering what she should do. She didn't want to move though, and strangely, she wasn't cold from the rain and wind. Sadie hadn't even bothered with a coat, or umbrella. She would surely catch a cold, but Sadie didn't care.

She would sit here for eternity if she could, thinking of the tiniest things; the pitter patter of the rain on the concrete and any other surface that was uncovered from the wet droplets; along with herself. She hadn't eaten for awhile, but Sadie didn't care one bit.

It had been raining for a couple days; one time Sadie actually fell asleep in the pouring rain and woke up in a bed the next day, but would venture back out to sit in the moisture.

For some reason, Sadie's thoughts went back to Anubis, and she felt her eyes watering. Sadie felt the salty tears drop to her mouth, and she tasted the salty tears mixed with the rain. Sadie left the tears roll down her cheeks, down her chin, and let them drop to the floor of the patio.

Sadie didn't know how long she had been sitting there in the perspiration, but she knew she was there forever. Sadie looked at the rose again, got up and said "Ha di" blowing it to pieces in the palm of her hand.

She didn't feel weak though, only weak in the heart. She never felt this way, it is the cause of a broken heart?

Or from adding the pain of losing her mother and the jerk Anubis together to form a hole in her heart?

Whatever the cause, Sadie felt sick. Her head throbbed. But, it felt like someone was prodding her heart with a cold, metal rod, and that Anubis was at the other end of the rod. She hated rain. It always rained when something bad happened. Like at a funeral, or a bad day. But one good time, is a wedding. When you pledge yourself to a man or woman, vowing a happy life together.

All of a sudden, she heard the sound of paws approaching her. She didn't look up though. She knew who it was. It was that stupid god of the dead. A black figure sat next to her, and she glanced up, and saw it was Anubis in a dog form. He had long, jackal-like ears, and a slim, but firm body. He had the Egyptian style cross; which was the same as the American cross, but had a loop at the top- an Ankh.

He also had kohl on, the Egyptian word for eyeliner as Sadie would call it. Anubis sat next to her, and looked at her through puppy dog eyes. His tongue stuck out from the side, like any other dog, but on Anubis, Sadie though it was adorable.

"So," Sadie began, "you think you could come here and put those annoying puppy dog eyes on me, and expect an apology? Forget it dog boy." Sadie crossed her arms around her chest and turned the other way. Anubis put a paw on her leg, but she shooed it away and moved to the other side of the patio.

But if Sadie knew Anubis, he was persistent. Anubis got up and trotted to her, and sat down right in front of her, trapping her from moving. He put his paws on her right leg, and laid his head down, looking up at her, as if saying I'm sorry. Sadie looked at him. Maybe he was really apologizing.

She sighed. "Are you serious?" she muttered. Anubis's ears perked up, and his long tongue rolled out and licked her outstretched hand. Sadie scratched him behind the ear, and Anubis leaned his head against her touch. He liked it. Her soft and gentle touch, her warm and cool blue eyes, and what he liked the most was the soft silky hair on her head. Sadie knelt in front of Anubis, cupping his head his her hands.

"Your forgiven," she said softly, and leaned in to kiss the boy in front of her. She wrapped her arms around his neck, while he pulled her closer with his. She entangled her fingers in his wet hair, and she momentarily forgot where or who she was. They only broke apart to stand up, and they stood there.

Kissing in the rain. Now, Sadie thought, rain isn't so bad.

I don't know if I spelled Shabti right. I can't find my book in the clutter I call my room. I didn't really explain Anubis well in Dog form, but if I did it right, let me know.

Thanks! I'm going to get Mockingjay now.

Peace!
