Sadie impatiently tapped her foot as she stood outside of her house. Her arms were crossed, attempting to block out the slight breeze that occasionally blew by, making her shiver, even though she wore a coat. The weather was slowly migrating from a harsh winter to an early but anticipated spring.
She and Carter had already experienced lovely days where the sun shone and the skies were clear and blue, just like Sadie's. Well, that's what Carter tried to say, but he couldn't really finish, mainly because he had already gotten a smack on the arm from his loving sister.
She switched feet and glanced at her watch. He's late, she angrily thought. That emotion of anger was only a spark; her arm fell to her side with disappointment and a harsh unhappiness coming to realization of why he was late. Maybe this was all just a joke, her other arm fell to her hip, but if it was, he most likely would want me to laugh too. She shook her head and decided that music was her only companion on this adventure of patiently waiting. However, just as her fingertips reached for an ear bud, he appeared only a couple of feet before her.
"I'm sorry Sadie," Anubis said as he hurriedly strolled over to the young girl. "There were more souls left for judging that I had taken for." Sadie shrugged coolly, trying not to smile in relief (and contentment that he had finally chosen to arrive) and released the ear bud, letting it fall back to its usual space around her neck.
"It's all right, I'm sure Egyptian gods have quite the schedule to keep up with." Anubis tried to not laugh at her pronunciation of "schedule". Even though it was funny, it was a bit cute. Anubis nodded.
"Yeah," His eyes shyly, (though he tried to hide it), looked up from the ground and to her expectant eyes and Anubis saw that the color of her eyes were a cheerless blue but they became brighter once he looked at her. "Well, are you ready to depart?" She nodded.
"I indeed am, in fact, I have been for a good fifteen minutes now," Her remark made him feel even worse, mostly because it was snide, but he had learned his lesson, even with that one, short sentence: never ever leave Sadie waiting. Sadie buttoned her brown, corduroy jacket and Anubis offered his elbow out to her. Her lips curved into a small smile as she looped her elbow through his.
"Where are we going?" Anubis began to walk and he looked down at her.
"You'll see," He teasingly smirked as they disappeared from the mansion and to his chosen but unidentified destination.
