******************************************************************The Bloody… Crown?
Chapter 7
SPOV
Great. Carter just walked in on my magical moment. Love ya bro! Not. Seriously. I finally got the moment with Anubis I thought would never happen and my bloody brother walks in on it.
Anyway, we pulled apart only to find my brother standing there looking like he had just found me messing with his Zia pictures. Uh oh.
"What do you think you're doing?!" he yelled as he pinned Anubis against a palm by the collar. Anubis glared at him and said, "Is that any of your business?" Carter looked at him with such hatred it scared even me. "Yes it is!" he yelled. "In case you forgot, she's my sister. So, therefore, it is my business. So... What the hell do you think you're doing?!"
Anubis looked at him with a mix of anger, hatred, and amusement. He said, "Well, if you're so curious, I'll tell you. I'm pretty sure I was kissing her."
The way he said it so bluntly amazed me. He wasn't embarrassed even a little bit. Now all he had on his face was a glare and a proud smile. Carter raised his arm and was about to punch Anubis, when I finally regained usage of my limbs. I jumped in front of him and yelled, "Carter! Stop it right now!" he froze. He then turned his angry look on me, but did what I said.
"But he'll only hurt you! He can't stay with you forever, he'll get called away, and you'll age eventually. Plus, he's a god. You're a mortal. There's no way it would work out." he said. Then Anubis said, "That's not true! First of all, I would never hurt Sadie, ever! Secondly, she's not mortal anymore. Something happened when I gave her that necklace and now she's a goddess. Well, kind of. She can interact with humans but can do things gods can do. So she can stay with me as long as she wants and the other gods can't do anything about it. If they try, I'll personally go change their mind."
Carter and i stared at him like he was suddenly engulfed in flames. Carter demanded, "How did giving Sadie a necklace go from a protection amulet to changing her into… into a goddess?!" Anubis said, "Well, technically, she's a deity, but… I may have slipped up and not thought before I acted and put part of myself in it, and… erm… when I put it on her, it might have become attached to her soul and… well, you get the picture…" I thought Carter was going to explode. His face turned a puce color and he shifted his hold to an even tighter one, as if he could strangle a god.
"You mean this is all because you got ahead of yourself and did something that could harm Sadie! You said you would never hurt her, but did you even think of how this could affect her?! You're supposed to be smarter, yet you somehow managed to overlook this! If I could I would kill you… wait a minute… guess who can kill you, and happens to be your boss… our father!" he went to open a portal and drag Anubis by his chain to Dad but I grabbed his wrist and pulled the ultimate Sadie move… I totally pinned his arm behind his back and put him in a headlock.
"Jeez, Carter. You way over reacted. Did you ever consider how I felt about this? No. you didn't." I cut him off just before he was about to say something. "So don't go around saying things you think are right. Now sit down and cool your head, before it explodes." I released him. "Now… Noob," I smirk at the look on his face when I call him Noob. "I am curious to know how you managed to overlook the fact that my soul was different, since you're the one who is supposedly judging me after I die."
"Well, about that… you won't ever "die"… you can change yourself to look older, but in reality, you won't ever be older. You'll still feel 14. Instead, when you're ready, I can come and take you away. You'll become a goddess then and can spend eternity however you like." Anubis explained. "So I don't have to deal with all that aging crap and wrinkles?" I asked. Anubis laughed and said with sarcasm, "Yes, Sadie. You're now immortal, but you still have to deal with wrinkles." I laughed too, and then said, "Wait… Are you serious about me spending eternity with you?" Anubis looked at me and nodded slowly with a small smile spreading across his face. I grinned at him, then turned toward Carter and said, "There. Now you've heard it. I can be with him." Carter made an unintelligible comment and walked away. We heard a soft whimpering noise. It was Kyori. I walked over to him and said, "Hey. How do you feel? Do you feel any pain?" Kyori looked at me and whimpered, but I what I heard wasn't whimpering. What I heard was: " That's right, you wannabe Horus! Let go of my masters collar, or else I'll come over and rip you head off!" he had been whining, because he had tried to get up but couldn't because of his stitches.
Both me and Anubis started laughing at what Kyori had said, and the made Carter both even more mad and confused. "What are you guys laughing at?!" he yelled. Both one of us could stop laughing long enough to tell him, and he got super mad. He walked away muttering curse words, leaving me and Anubis rolling in the sand. Kyori somehow managed to stand up and walked over to us. He looked at me funny, the turned to address Anubis.
"Master, everything Lady Kane has said is true. And you were quite right when you talk about her and say, she has a sharp tongue but is gentle, kind, caring, beauti-" he was cut off by a blushing and embarrassed Anubis' hand grabbing his muzzle. "Kyori," he said in a deathly still voice, "Don't go saying unnecessary things."
Kyori barked a laugh as soon as Anubis let go of his maw and jumped out of his reach as he took a swipe at him. I could already tell I was going to like this one. But it was my turn to mess with him.
I pressed up close to Anubis and said "Is that right? Do you think I'm kind, caring, gentle, and... What was that last one? Or should I ask Kyori?" I looked over my shoulder at Kyori, as if I was seriously considering it. Anubis mumbled, "Beautiful."
"What? I didn't catch that." I feigned innocence. He glared at me in embarrassment and said, "Beautiful, OK?! I said you were beautiful." he looked away, then plopped down in the sand, saying, "Urgh!" I jumped and said, "What?!" he blushed and stared at the sky. "I don't understand any of this!" he said. "I don't understand how I think you're the most annoying person in my life AND the most utterly beautiful one!" he looked at me helplessly. I looked at him and debated whether I should leave and punch him for saying I was the most annoying person he knew, or kiss him for saying I was the most "utterly beautiful" one.
I chose option C.: mess with him some more.
I said "I'll tell you what that's called if you tell me what exactly you mean by that little annoying and beautiful thing." He blushed and said, "Do I have to tell you?" I leaned in close and said, "Yes."
