Hi, back with chapter 2!yea! ohh yeah this chapter belongs to COOK13 QU33N The characters are Rick Riodian's .Enjoy! (mentions of other stories on this site. Please. No hard feelings)

Anubis and I stared at the screen with horrified looks on our faces as we scrolled through stories.

"Daydreams of a Toilet Paper God?" Anubis said, looking at one of the older stories.

"Sadie's Betrothed?" I said, "I'M THIRTEEN BLOODY YEARS OLD!" I fumed. Honestly, I may look mature and beautiful but don't go assuming that I'm twenty or something.

I peered around the table and saw that Zia and Carter were already done with a story, they blushed so hard that I was convinced that their faces were about to explode.

Anubis tapped me on the shoulder, "This one doesn't look too scarring." He said, pointing to one.

It said, 'I Have a Tea Party with the God of Funerals', "Well," I gave in, "I do enjoy tea." I looked at the summary and changed my mind, it said: Anubis visits Sadie in London.

That's never good.

Then I noticed that the rating was K, not T or *shudder* M. I nodded to Anubis, "Yeah, this one should be okay." I said.

Anubis clicked the title and we silently read, holding our breaths, praying for nothing too mushy. I was blushing like mad by the third paragraph! Honestly, I'm not one to walk around blushing redder than a tomato!

Stupid accurate story.I thought.

Suddenly, Anubis started yelling at the screen, "I would never admit that!" he yelled, pointing to a sentence.

I peered at the screen, in the story, Anubis said: "I get a little lonely sometimes." Preposterous, there's no way that Anubis would say that! Can somebody say OOC?

I realized what he had said, "So, you would never ADMIT that…so, it's true?"

His eyes widened and he became very interested in ripping his shirt even more. I frowned and put my hands on my hips, "You didn't answer me!"

He sighed and held my gaze, "Sadie, just keep reading the story." He pleaded.

I decided to let it go for the moment, "Okay, but can we read it aloud? It's confusing to not know where you are in the story."

He nodded his consent and I started reading out loud. (A/N Im gonna have them read the way ILuvZarter does in Reading the Red Pyramid, not tryin to steal anything just makin it easier.)

Since I haven't seen Gran and Gramps for a while, I decided to pay them a visit for a couple of days in London. It was nice to be back in the flat that I know so well, while at the mansion I was still warming up too. I thought these thoughts over a cup of tea in the kitchen.

Mmmm, I could use some tea.

It was dark and drizzly outside with bitter winds meaning, it was a perfect day for tea. I woke up before Gran and Gramps did, so I was all alone until a young man appeared out of nowhere across from me. He looked very familiar.

"Anubis?"

"Hello, Lady Kane." He said while looking at me with those eyes. My heart was flying a million miles an hour. What? My heart doesn't fly for boys.

"True that." I muttered.

What on earth is going on with me? I think it's the tea. I put the tea down.

"What...what are you doing here?" I asked.

"Can't I visit you?" A teasing smile barely made way onto his lips.

"Teasing?" Anubis asked, "I don't tease…often…"

My face suddenly turned red.

"Well, I guess you can." I said, meeting those amazing eyes of his.

I didn't want to boost his confidence or anything by making him believe that his eyes are amazing (but they aaare) so I pff-ed. He looked at me oddly, oh well.

He nodded.

"Right."

"Yes." There was an awkward silence but I broke it. "So, would you like some tea?" Anubis nodded and then snapped, a whole banquet of tea and little cakes appearing on the run down table.

"I can do that, you know." He said.

"Do what?"

"Pop up food, it's very useful."

"Oh, kay."

"Anubis...you didn't need to do that." He half smiled and picked up his cup, bringing it to his gorgeous lips.

I felt a violent flush of my face and I'm pretty sure I choked on my own spit.

"Well, am in the presence of a blood of pharaohs, am I not?" He smiled his mischievous smile and took a sip of his tea. I did so too, to hide the fact that I was blushing yet again.

"So, how's life in the Hall of Death?" I laughed. "No pun intended."

Anubis snickered, "Whenever someone says 'no pun intended' you always take it as a pun."

Anubis chuckled softly and put his tea cup down, looking directly at me.

"It's alright, I guess...nothing very exciting has happened lately. I get a little lonely sometimes."

Anubis was yelling again, "I WOULD NEVER ADMIT THAT! Er… go on, Sadie."

I put my tea cup down and I forced myself to look back at him.

"Right." I nodded. "But don't you like that sort of stuff? You know, Funerals and all."

"Yes, I do. The Funerals are the best part of death."

"Why?" I asked, taking a sip of tea. Anubis thought about it for a bit.

"I would have to say the way millions of people conduct Funerals differently."

"But you said that the way of funerals came from Egyptians." I whined.

I shook my head.

"But when we were in New Orleans, you said that their way of Funerals came from Egyptians."

"Woah…"

Anubis nodded and took a sip of tea.

"Yes I did say that, however, I meant it was very interesting to see the way that they adapted it from Egyptian culture." I nodded. Just then, Anubis stirred and frowned a bit.

"I'm so sorry, Lady Kane but I must go."

Anubis frowned, "I'm not that mean!"

My face fell.

"Why?" I asked sadly. I could see that he sensed my utter sadness in my tone and he sighed.

"I have to go help your father...I'm very very sorry." He snapped and the magnificent tea party disappeared in a flash. He got up and walked over to me.

"It's okay, I understand." I said, looking down. He knelt by my chair and took both of my hands.

One thought went through my head at that time. OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG HELP ME RA!

"Lady Kane," He said but then paused. "Sadie." I looked at him in response for calling my name.

"I call you by your name all the time." Anubis stated.

"I know, now shut up it's almost over."

"I promise that I will return tomorrow...and we will have words." He smiled fully now and then kissed my cheek before disappearing. I was glad that he disappeared before he could see me rubbing my cheek and grinning foolishly. I could not wait until tomorrow.

I looked over at Anubis; he was blushing a bit, probably trying to block it. I knew for a fact that I was blushing, how I wish that the story was real.

Anubis cleared his throat, "Um, that was…interesting." He said.

I nodded numbly, "Yup. When do we get to leave?" I asked, looking for an exit. All I found was walls, walls, more walls, and a skull. I scootched a little closer to Anubis, creepy skull…

As if on cue, Horus's voice boomed into the room, "You will all have to stay here for a few days in order to read all the fics!" I searched for the origin of the voice. No luck.

"Horus, I have duties at the Hall and must return!" Anubis yelled at the ceiling.

I snickered, "Heh heh, duties."

Carter looked at me as if I had lost it. In a way, I suppose I had.

Zia piped up, "Well, I don't know about you guys, but I don't want to sleep on the floor." She had been so quiet the whole time that I had forgotten that she was even there! Oh well, I probably didn't miss much, Zia is boring.

We all muttered agreements and I turned to Anubis, "Poof up some sleeping bags or something." I commanded.

He stared at me in disbelief, "Poof? You describe my powers as POOFING something up?"

I blinked, "Yeah, pretty much."

He sighed and snapped his fingers, a nice dinner and cozy sleeping bags popped up, "Bon appetite." He said.

I just stared at the tremendous dinner, it had every food imaginable! I hadn't noticed how hungry I was until my stomach was crying for food.

I dove in, ate a bit of everything, and collapsed on a sleeping bag next to Anubis's.

"What if we have to use the loo?" I asked realizing that there was no bathroom in sight.

"That," he stated, "is a problem to be solved later."

Carter arranged all of the sleeping bags; he looked up apologetically, "Sorry, OCD attack."

I yawned, "I'm going to sleep don't paint my face or anything. Or else." I warned before conking out.

The last thing I heard before falling asleep was Anubis's gentle whisper, "Good night."
