Always Be Mine
Summary: Carter and Sadie decide to have a party and invite all the Egyptians Gods and their friends. Is everything going to work out as they had planned? Read to find out!
Kane Mansion
"Did you find it?" Sadie lunged at the couch, exhausted of working for twelve hours.
"Yes, Khufu did." Carter sat beside her, passing a hair dryer to her. "They are going to arrive in about half an hour. Are you sure this is gonna work out well?"
"Carter, it doesn't hurt to give them another chance." Sadie replied, closing her eyes and spreading on the couch like a bird, which made Khufu think that she's dead and the end of his punishment. He reached out towards the Cheerio box on the table, but Sadie was too quick for him.
"Na ha, punishment is punishment. No cheerios for you, because you wrecked my dress, thinking that it was a live animal! Seriously, Khufu?"
"You can't really blame him. Your dress does look like an animal, what's with all those striped black lines and orange silk. It actually looks like a live tiger!" Cater chuckled, which made Sadie punch him hard.
"OW! Will you cut it out? You have been with that temper of yours for hours. Deal with it! Anyways, it was not my idea of calling the Gods, yeah Sadie, GODS for a ...party, listen to me, Sadie, PARTY." He mimicked her voice, "-'Hey, we are just having a party with gods. It's not that big a deal!'-yeah right."
"And who had to buy all the groceries and decorate the whole mansion, to impress the Gods, Sadie, THE GODS! I had to do everything, while you just exhausted yourself trying to find a stupid dress of yours and what did you find? THAT?" He pointed at her dress. "Believe me, Sadie, giving the Gods a second chance just to blow it up again! They get mad at each other at such small things, Sadie! Oh wait, let me remember! Oh yeah, last time we invited them over, they were fighting over a TV remote! Not to forget, they broke our screen with their massive powers. It was an LCD TV! I had bought it! And now, you are giving them a second chance to make it up with each other? Good luck with that! I am done!" He stood up and walked out of the living room.
Sadie was baffled by his brother's talk. She couldn't believe her ears! Did he just argue with her and won? She looked around and realised that her brother was telling the truth. He had worked so hard just for her. The whole living room radiated with magical lights and every tiny little dust had disappeared. He had done it all, while she had been crying over her ruined dress and blaming Khufu for nothing. Well, she thought, it was Khufu's fault! But her brother was still a whining baby. She had promised that this party would work out well and she will make it happen!
After fifteen minutes of tension and nervousness, Carter and Sadie were standing by the main entrance in their gorgeous suits and dresses. Yeah, Sadie had changed her dress, again. Now, she wore a beige coloured dress, with a lily pinned to her head and Carter wore white shirt, black silk pants and a tie. Khufu was not grounded anymore. Philips was swimming lazily in the pool and Muffin, the cat was marvelling the birds which Carter had created. The mansion was beautifully decorated. Small magical spheres radiating light floated in mid air, the night flowers were blooming, giving out sweet fragrances.
A sedan arrived. Zia and Desjardins stepped out. Carter, Sadie noticed, was trying to hide behind her. She looked at Zia and breathed out a whistle. Zia was dressed in a complete silky black dress, which made her skin stand out more. Her hair was as usual. She walked towards Sadie and Carter, who was almost hidden behind Sadie, except his butt.
"Hi" Zia smiled, which made Carter blush. Such a baby, Sadie thought. Carter gestured her inside, muttering some compliments to her dress.
Desjardins followed her and Carter inside. Sadie had decided to stay outside to greet the Gods.
A complete white limo appeared. Osiris and Isis stepped out in their human forms. Sadie's breath quickened. No matter whether they were in human form or not, they still radiated power. They were just smashing, she thought. But she still missed her parents dearly. Osiris looked very handsome in his dark skin and formal suit. He looked so much like her dad, but wasn't at the same time. Isis's beautiful blonde hair was curled and she looked really stunning. Osiris and Isis nodded past Sadie, holding each other's hands dearly.
The next white limo came. Horus and Anubis came out. Sadie caught her breath. No matter what people said about Horus being more attractive than Anubis, but for Sadie, Horus was no match to the most handsome guy, Anubis. Both were wearing tuxedoes, except Horus's was white and Anubis's was black.
"Good to see you again." Anubis flashed his gorgeous smile.
"If I were you, I would close that drooling mouth. Just saying," Horus whispered in her ears, his different colour eyes twinkling as he passed by, leaving Anubis and Sadie alone outside.
"Good to see you too," She closed her mouth quickly after she realized she was grinning like a fool. "I will meet you inside. I still need to wait for more guests." She replied, not meeting his eyes.
"Don't worry, I will be waiting." He said quietly, and as Sadie looked in his eyes, she saw mischief in them. She blushed. Anubis followed Horus inside.
Sadie counted her fingers: Osiris, Isis, Anubis, Horus, Zia, Desjardins...only three left: Set, Nephthys and Amos. She sighed. This party's main guests were the only ones who were not here yet. Carter and Sadie had planned this party not for all the gods but for only Set and Nephthys to make it up with each other and also for Amos and Set. She glanced at her mini watch. It was five past eight. The main guests were five minutes late! She looked down the street, which was connected with the river. All the limos had actually appeared out of the river, but for the mortals, it would appear as if the limos had just been driven down the street. People arrived. Normal magicians and other minor gods, but Sadie didn't pay them any attention. What she was looking for was completely different. Set and Nephthys had not appeared in their last party. They all had waited for them but not even one of them had appeared. But Sadie had insisted on hosting another party for them. She had sent out invitations through Khufu. Amos had replied to her saying that he would bring Nephthys with him.
She had made Nephthys and Set's invitations differently. Instead of writing her own name in the end, she had written their names. So if Set's gotten the invitation, then it would look like Nephthys has sent it to him and vice versa for Nephthys.
She checked her watch again. Twenty minutes! She began to lose hope. Then suddenly, something shimmered on the surface of the river and two black limos appeared. She fumbled with her dress and hair. She wanted to impress them. Finally the limos reached the main gates. All the other arriving guests stopped in their mid tracks and turned towards the limos, whose guests were about to step out.
You just gotta love those pairings- Nephthys and Set!
Anyways, this idea might be overused, but I just couldn't help not updating this. I have been reading so many of your stories and I really like them. So I decided to come in and join you (*flings down backpack*) Tell me if I suck at this and should pack my backpack (again) and take this with me. So any reviews? (grasshoper chirrups*)
