The Bloody… Crown?

Chapter 11

SPOV

Ok, so I have finally taken over again from these numbskulls. Did you all miss me? Anyway, that's not the important part. The important part is that Anubis and I are finally together! I'm so happy that the whole soul attaching thing happened, because now I can be with the guy I like! Yes, I do feel bad for Walt, that initiate that fell for me. It's true that I did have a small crush on him, but I didn't love him like I love Anubis. It just wasn't the same. When I was around Walt, I was always so uptight, worrying about the curse, and whether or not it would be right for me to date him when he's about to die. But he did make me happy, and I loved him… like a brother. Not in a romantic way.

But when I'm with Anubis, I feel safe and at ease. I don't have to worry about anything when he's around. Yes I know that, eventually, he might come to take Walt away, but I'll face that wall when I come to it. For now though, I'll enjoy what I can, and, since I'm immortal, I can enjoy it forever.

So anyway, Anubis and I woke up before Carter, all thanks to Kyori licking our faces, saying, "Wake up Lady Kane, wake up Noob!" over and over again until both of us took a good swipe at him, both nearly hitting him! When we finally got up, I crawled to the fire and summoned a pan and some bacon. When those popped up, I place them on the fire and started cooking. While the bacon cooked, I took out a small compact mirror I kept with me, and checked my hair. It was awful. I tried running my hands through it, but it didn't help any. Finally, Anubis chuckled and said, "Here. Let me help you." Before I could protest, he was already brushing it out with my hairbrush that had suddenly appeared. "Hmm." He said. "Do you want some clean clothes?" I looked up at him and said, "Is that a possibility?"

Anubis rolled his eyes and said, "No, Sadie. I'm a god and I can't even get you a pair of clean clothes." He snapped his fingers and voilà! I had a new pair of clean clothes on. And he hadn't done to bad a job at picking them out. It was a pair of new black skinny jeans, with rips in them, and cream shirt, and a mid-length, black leather jacket. He even gave me a pair of clean combat boots! All I could say was, "Wow." I heard him chuckle as he finished pulling my hair up into a ponytail. "You like them?" he asked.

"Like them?" I said, "I love them!" I threw my arms around him and he wrapped his around me after a moment of shock. I felt him smile even though he said, "Jeez, Sadie. Their just clothes and a ponytail. It's not like I gave you diamonds." I pulled back and said, "Were those an option too?" He cracked up then and gave me a quick kiss, then looked up and said, "Um, I hate to break up the moment, but your bacons burning."

I jumped up and hurried over to the fire, where indeed, my bacon was burning. I flipped it and put it on a plate, then added new. I threw Kyori a piece and he caught it saying, "I love you, Lady Kane. I really love you." Anubis gave a teasing growl, that probably had some truth to it, and I cracked up. Then Carter woke up. Thank god he's a morning person. But as soon as he was up, everyone got silent. He went and relieved himself then helped himself to the bacon.

After a few moments, Carter gave Anubis a little message from Horus. I was so furious at the both of them. Like Anubis would do anything I didn't like! He's much too much of a gentleman to do that. Not to mention the innocent look he gave. But then I felt Anubis kiss my cheek and I looked up and smiled at him. I told him everything was fine and he dropped the subject, but I noticed he threw a murderous look at Carter, and quite frankly I didn't disagree with him. I wanted to murder him right then and there. But then Kyori growled at him and our little pest went bye-bye.

After breakfast, we packed all our stuff up and got on our donkeys. But then the strangest thing happened. Carter actually took the lead. He started riding before me and Anubis could even get on our mounts. I called after him, "Where do you think you're going?" he said, "To Sydney." He stopped a bit ahead of us and waited while I took Kyori's bandages off and found that now all he had left were some scabs. Anubis explained that without my first aid, Kyori would have died of blood loss, but since I had stopped the bleeding, it gave his body a chance to heal itself. I just nodded and climbed up on Steve, my ass.

We followed Carter to Sydney, turned our mules in to another tour guide who said that he would take them back for us. Then we called a cab and Carter told the driver to take us to the Sydney Opera House. "Why the Opera House?" I asked. Anubis groaned and said, "He's going to see Thoth… yet another god I don't like," "Do you like any other gods?" I asked him. He tilted his head to the side and thought for a moment. "No. Not really, anyway. I like Isis and Osiris, but their my adoptive parents so they don't really count." He concluded. I laughed at him and earned him pulling my jacket over my head and temporarily blinding me.

We pulled up to the Opera House, and I have to give it credit… it was beautiful. The way it was built to look like a seashell was amazing. "Yes, it is very beautiful, isn't it?" came a voice out of now where that seemed to read my mind. I looked to my right to see Thoth in his usual lab coat, looking up at the structure. Anubis growled beside me and put his arm around my waist. This didn't go unnoticed by Thoth. "Ah! So you finally confessed, did you, Anubis? Well that's very nice, and Kyori! You're looking amazing as usual!" he said. Kyori and Anubis just snarled at him. "Carter, my boy! Have your basketball skills improved any? Because anytime you're ready, my baboons would love to rematch you." He continued, earning the stink eye Carter gave him.

Carter to a deep breath to calm himself and said, "Thoth, we don't have time to catch up. So if you could help us…" "Say no more! I shall aid you as much as you need… but it has a price, I'm afraid." He gave us a look somewhere in between pity and amusement, and continued. "Since I also have a fascination with music, I'll need you to get me a certain instrument. Have you ever heard of a didgeridoo? Any of you?" he scanned our faces for recognition. "I have." Anubis said with reluctance, and Carter nodded his head and said, "Same here."

"Am I the only one who hasn't heard of one?!" I asked, incredulously. All three of them nodded their heads and said, "Yup." I crossed my arms and said, "Well, I'm not a bookworm like Carter, nor have I been around for five thousand years like Noob, over there." Thoth tried to stifle the laugh as he said, "Noob? He lets you call him "Noob"?" Anubis shot a look at me and said, "No. But would she listen to me even if I told her not to?" Thoth stopped laughing and thought for a second. "No, I don't suppose she would… Anyway, you two will have to explain what a didgeridoo is too Sadie. Do you accept the terms?"

Carter and Anubis looked at each other, and then made a silent agreement. "Fine. But that's it. You'll give us answers as soon as we get back." Anubis said. "Alrighty then! Off you guys go! Here's a cab, and some cash… There's a little extra for souvenirs if you want them. Now good-bye! See you when you get back!" Thoth said as he shoved us into the taxi, and slammed the door shut. He stood out front of the Sydney Opera House, waving like a six year old.

Great. Now we're going to look for an instrument that I have now idea about… this should be fun.

Ok. So, this one was longer than I expected, but that's because I did the whole morning with Sadie and Anubis. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this one and I'll keep writing em.
