Hey guys, Here's another chapter for you. Hope you enjoy. Feel free to leave a review. I like to know what you guys think.
Sadie's POV
"I don't know what lead to my father killing me," I say. "I find it easy to believe it was him because he's the only one on your list that hated me."
"He didn't hate you," Anubis says.
"I grew up getting yelled at by him because of my mom's death," I say. "He beat me, he yelled at me, he blamed me. I never heard him say he loved me."
Anubis looks at the ground. I look over at Horus.
"Maybe he went with it because of the argument you said you guys had that day?" Horus says.
"We had a couple arguments that day. The last one before Walt's party he said he should kill me. Then Carter came in and tried to get me out of there." I say.
"What happened in the argument?" Horus asks.
"He said I can't go to Walt's party because I was failing my classes. I told him he shouldn't care because he never cared about me in the first place." I tell them. "Carter ended up getting me out and I started getting ready for Walt's party."
"What happened after the party?" Horus asks. "After you got home?"
"My father met me at the door when I returned," I say.
**Sadie's Story**
I end up making it home from Walking home from Walt's house. I unlock the door quietly to avoid making noise to wake my dad up. If he was even home. I shut the door and the lights come on. I turn to see my dad sitting in the living room.
"Sadie," He says. "Have a seat, we need to talk."
I sit down on the couch across from my dad. He looks at me. "I'm sorry," I say. "I would've stayed home but Walt really wanted me to go."
"Don't apologize," My father says. "I'd like to apologize. For everything."
"What?" I asked confused.
"After Carter returned from dropping you off he sat down and talked to me," He explains. "He told me that I shouldn't blame you for your mother's death. Your mom was distracted but it wasn't her that initiated the crash. It was the other person. He was drunk and he crashed into you guys. I blamed you because I didn't want to get attached to you because you reminded me so much of your mother. I've been thinking about how I've treated you and I'm sorry. I wish I could change everything that happened to you."
I look at the fireplace. There was a picture of me and my mother sitting together on a park bench. I look back at my dad. "I don't know if I can forgive you," I say. "I've been through a lot because of you."
"I don't expect you to forgive me," He says. "I don't imagine that you'd forgive me as long as you live. I just wanted to tell you that I'm sorry. I'm going to try to be a better father. One that cares about you. You can go up to bed now. I won't bother you too much longer."
"I kind of have a headache from all the music from Walt's party," I say.
"You go on up to bed," My father says. "I'll bring you some medicine and some water."
"Thanks," I say. I head upstairs. I remove my boots and jacket. I sit down on my bed. I couple minutes later my dad comes in with water and medicine.
"Goodnight," He says. "I'll see you in the morning."
"Goodnight," I say. I take the medicine and drink the water. I lay down and go to sleep.
**End of Story**
"That sounds more like he was trying to change," Anubis says. "Are we sure it was him that did it?"
"Most of the evidence leads to him," Horus says. "I don't think it was anyone else."
"Something just doesn't add up," Anubis crosses his arms. "Julius seemed to be sorry. Maybe we should ask Carter how their dad reacted to Sadie's death. That could help us."
"I guess we can ask him a couple more questions," Horus says. "It's late though, we should wait until morning. Sadie, do you remember how your dad reacted."
"He seemed pretty upset when Carter called him up that morning. He looked at my body like he just lost something important to him. He seemed a little surprised." I say. "He could have just been acting because Carter was there."
"Someone is a good actor," Horus says. "Whoever it is. Anubis is right. Something doesn't add up."
"Maybe we should try to rest," Anubis says. "Get some sleep and come back tomorrow."
"Tomorrow I'd like to hear what happened at Walt's party," Horus says. "Maybe something that happened there will give us some answers."
Horus goes upstairs. I follow Anubis upstairs. He goes into his room. I follow him in.
"Do you think we'll figure out who did it?" I ask.
"We will," Anubis assures me. "I won't stop until we do."
I smile. "I did believe he was the person who killed me. Now that I think about it I don't think he did. If it wasn't him who was it?"
We hear something breaking. Anubis runs downstairs. I appear in the entry way. I see a person dressed up in all black with something covering his face. Anubis makes it downstairs and sees the guy. I look at the window. It was smashed through to get it. I see a brick laying on the ground. The guy in black tackles Anubis down. They start fighting. I watch as they fight. The guy slammed Anubis into the staircase. Anubis punches the guy and throws him over the railing. They were a couple of steps up so it didn't cause much damage. I see Horus run down the stairs. Anubis tackles the guy and ends up cutting the guys arm. The guy scrambled to get free. He runs and jumps out the window. Horus and I both stand by Anubis.
"Anubis are you alright?" I ask.
"What happened?" Horus asks.
"That guy broke in," I say. "He probably came to get something."
"What did he want?" Horus asks.
"I think I know what he wanted," Anubis says looking at the desk. "And he got it. The bottle of poison."
"That must've been the guy that killed Sadie," Horus says. "He came to take the evidence so we didn't have it to prove anything."
"That means it wasn't Julius," Anubis says. "Because he's dead."
"Who is it then?" I ask.
"That's what we're going to find out," Anubis says.
Thanks for reading. Hope you enjoyed. Leave a review letting me know what you think.
