Chapter ten

Anubis

WHAT IS HAPPENING I mentally screamed as I got pulled by Alice down the street "Alice what's wrong?" I asked she just ignored me and kept running until we reached the biggest obelisk ever built: the Washington monument. Okay maybe I should have told you we were in Washington D.C., anyways we were going to the obelisk when the round started to shake. "Anubis! What is that" Alice shrieked I looked to where she was looking Aaron did to. It was the Set Animal or as Carter and Sadie calls it Leroy. So anyways Leroy came out of the ground, and the only thing I could really process was that Leroy was striking at Alice. Thankfully Alice is smart and fast, because she dodged then lashed out at it. I tried moving but I couldn't it was a strange power, and ancient power I haven't felt in eons and from the looks of it Aaron couldn't move either. "Alice, there's a soft spot under its chin try to get to it" I yelled. She glanced back at me trying to make out the words I just said, and there was her mistake. Leroy came down on her and when her moved she wasn't anywhere in sight

"ALICE!" Aaron and I yelled simultaneously. Leroy started to melt to revel a man who was most certainly not Set.

"Ohh a God and Ra's-s-s son" the man said in a chilling voice that I knew
"Apophis" I growled

"S-s-so you're a s-s-smart dog now Anubis?"

"Where's Alice"

He laughed "please the girl is fine, but now you have nothing to defeat me with" he smiled evilly

"We will find her you reptilian freak and I swear if she's hurt I will personally haunt you for the rest of your life. Which is eternity" Apophis narrowed his eyes at me, but I didn't care. My rage was building ever second; I was like a ticking time bomb.

"You might want to watch yourself Anubis, or I just might wipe Alice from the face of the earth, and you memory" whit that he was gone in a snap, and I was fuming.

"Anubis quit pacing you're going to burn a hole in the ground" Aaron said. I ignored him. "Anubis, come on we'll find her do-"

"Aaron! We're not going to find her. I don't know if you've noticed but APOPHIS took her! APOPHIS TOOOOKKK HERRRRRRRRRR WE WILL NEVER FIND HER!" Aaron looked down at his feet and I immediately felt bad. Aaron has always liked, liked Alice but he thought that she didn't like, like him. But she did like, like him and she thought that he didn't like, like her. Yes that's complicated but don't worry it took me nine years just to understand the first part.

"Aaron I didn't me-"

"It's okay"

"It's not that okay. One because you sound like you just lost your mother and two because you sound like a dying kitten"

"That's supposed to mean…?"

"It means you sound like a dying kitten that just lost his mother climbing up the side of a mountain eating a lollipop."

"You gods and your confusing riddles…. What is that supposed to mean?"

"It means… YOU SOUND ALLLLL DEPRESSED. Like me when Osiris say 'noho don't take cookie, cookie is mine'"

"Ummmmm…. I doubt he said it like that"

"You get my drift"

"Yeahh"

"good." We stopped talking after that, so we just sat in a weird silence then I stared at him for a while. Once I was done I smiled and crossed my arms in front of my chest

"Aaron, you do know that I know that you like Alice?" he stared at me like I just blew up Times Square. I laughed.

"You keep your mouth shut! Say nothing to her!" I laughed once more

"Why do you keep laughing?!"

"Because she likes you but she doesn't know you like her too, and you like her but you don't think she likes you, BUT SHE DOES!" he stared at me blankly, I sighed "okay Aaron. Listen carefully. ALICE. LOVES. YOU."

"She does?" I face palmed

"Yes, my little friend she does"

He narrowed his eyes "how do you know? You're the god of the dead; you don't have the emotion called love"

I glared at him. "I know because Bast is the goddess of cats and there was a kitten on my bed… but it was dead so I was sad"

He stared "Anubis that made NO since!" I sighed
"okay did you see how her eyes were like that pinkish purple color?" he nodded "okay well her eyes change color according to her mood, so they're like very accurate mood rings. Anyways the color they were earlier was love. SHE. LOVES. YOU." He smiled at me

"Well that's relieving to know. I never knew her eyes changed color according to her mood either"

We looked at each other and laughed until Aaron said "hey, what's that?" I looked to where he was pointing and saw a cuff bracelet, ring, and a pendent. The bracelet looked like this: story/2088537/Suicidal-Sunshine/

Greeatteee I thought know we can't track Alice "come on Aaron we need the Kane's."
