Sadie's POV

So...Anubis had found another host, a stuck up one at that. Proclaiming himself 'Ghost King', how cocky. I saw Nico's eyes darken, if it was possible, "Carter, can I and Sadie talk alone?" I knew it was Anubis by the tone of his voice. Carter realised this as well and nodded, walking out of the room with Khufu. Anubis turned his gaze to me, and butterflies erupted from my stomach, Nico was very handsome, in a dark, mysterious way.

"Please don't judge Nico, for he is not arrogant. He is hurting, deep down. His mother was killed by Zeus when he was very young, and then his father took him, and his sister to the Underworld, washed away their memories and put them in a hotel where time was vertially non existant. They were then taken away, eighty years later and put into a school where a Manticore tried to eat him. His cousin Percy rescued him and his older sister, but not without a sacrifice, Percy's friend was almost killed and kidnapped by the monsters 'friends'." Anubis paused for a breath, and I slowly felt my confidence and judgement slip away. "His older sister choose to join the Hunt, practically never seeing him again, as she was not allowed to help, touch or be close to boys. She turned her back on him without a second thought. He was wisked away to Camp Half-Blood, and the Greek god myths were all dumped onto him, he took it fairly well, since he was ten at the time."

"His sister was choosen to go on a quest were dangers and traps were certain. Percy wanted to save his friend, so he followed them, with the promise of trying to keep Bianca, Nico's sister, alive. The camp was complete torture for Nico, he was tormented and teased, And, alas, Biaca did the one thing she wasn't meant to, she stole from the Gods junkyard, it was a mythomagic figurine, the only one Nico didn't have. She stole it but in turn was punished by being killed by a giant robot. Percy returned with Annabeth, and had saved the day, but when he told the news to Nico, well, Nico was furious at Bianca and Percy." My confidence was completely dried up, I felt like a douche bag, and an idiot. A mean, selfish idiot. "Please go on." I croaked. Anubis glanced at me, his face potraying no emotion.

"Instead of speaking to Nico, like Nico had been asking, begging her to do, Bianca made contact with Percy instead, and showed him the bad path that Nico had been driving down. Percy found him in the Labrinth and shook him out of the grudge, for grudges are dangerous for children of Hades. Later on Nico went to his father's domain, upon which Hades told him Bianca could do anything better than him. But, in the end Hades did like Nico, for he fought for Nico's friends, with Nico by his side." I gulped and sat down on the sofa. "He looked for his sister but she had choosen rebirth, luckily he found Hazel, his little sister ther instead. The doors of Death were open so he took the ooperunity to take her away. It was the only good luck he got. Later on he was captured my these twin and stuck into a jar, with only pomigrante seeds to keep him alive. He was used as a hostage and his friends risked their lives for him, making him feel extrmelt bad about himself. Later on he falls into Tartarus, which is like Hell, times a million. He fell in love with his cousin Percy, and his other cousin Jason found out. When Nico finally escaped Tatarus, he had to fight a war, and summon an army of the dead. His friend Piper died and he still blames it on himself.

"I...um...I'm sorry." Anubis's eyes softened, "I would kiss you right now Sadie, but I don't think Nico would be very happy for me too use him to kiss you, or he might, I don't know." Anubis smirked at me and sat down beside me, wrapping his arm around me, "He doesn't like how I shared his life with you, but I think it satisfied him that someone sort of understands what his life has been like."

I smirked and Anubis burst out into a song that sounded familiar,

"I tried to be someone else
But nothing seemed to change
I know now, this is who I really am inside.
Finally found myself
Fighting for a chance.
I know now, this is who I really am."

I felt the slight shift in the air and Anubis-Nico leapt to his feet. "I am so glad you listened to me Anubis, I swear, if you ever try to make out with Sadie, I think I will die.." I heard Nico murmur dramatically. "I am sorry Nico, I did not mean to judge you." I shaded my eyes away from him. "Well, you didn't say it aloud, so no harm done." Nico replied, honestly. "CARTER. ANUBIS HAS FINISHED TALKING!" Nico yelled loudly. He brushed his rich brown hair away from his dark eyes, making my heart flutter faster. Vivian, James and Carter entered. "So you all know about the Greek-Egyptian thing? Why were we all left out of the loop until tonight, and we had to get told in a dream?" James complained.

Don't get me wrong, but James and Vivian seemed a bit odd to me, they both had this aura, that made you believe that maybe, just maybe they weren't just demigods. James had beautiful, sky blue eyes and was naturally muscular, even if he did look a bit food deprived. His hair was a bright, golden colour, it reminded me of lightning, and was a bit taller than me, about Cater's height. Vivian, was a different matter, she had hair that seemed to be golden in the sun and dirty blonde in the dark. She had eyes that seemed to sparkle with mirth and...suspicion. She was the same height as me, and I tended lean towards her. She reminded me a bit of Zia and I mixed together.

Bast seemed to have answered him and he and Vivian marched upstairs to go to sleep. I glanced at Carter, and Nico as Zia came barrolling into the house. "There's another godling in your house- oh." "Hi, I'm Nico." Nico waited for Zia to state her name but she was to busy staring at him. "Excuse me, some people don't like being stared at." Nico told her dryly. Zia scowled at him, "My name is Zia, I'm Carter's girlfriend." Nico pretended to look surprised, "I thought Sadie and Carter were dating?"

"Oh Nico-Anubis, er, whatever, I am going to kill you!" I lunged out at him and he easily dodged me, pulling a long sword out of the Duat and spun me around, holding the sword against my neck. His warm breath tingled my ears, "Sadie, seriously? Next time don't warn someone when you're about to kill them." He let me fall to the floor. He turned to look at Carter, "I need to sleep, I've used my shadow travelling way to much." Carter looked surprised as if he'd thought that Nico was some kind of god that had revieled his weakness, obviously Nico saw the same thing.

"I don't have regenerating energy Carter, I do need to sleep, I may be more powerful than you but I still need to sleep." "More powerful than us?" I growled incrudulous. Nico glanced at me exasperated, "Can you naturally raise the dead?" "Err, no?" "Can you go a week without sleep?" "No." "Can you-" "Okay okay, I get it, you're more powerful than I am and your hosting Anubis which makes you egotistic and even more powerful. You practically reek of death." Nico smiled at me, his eyes gleamed with pleasure, "Why thank you, it is my one and only goal to be like my father." He replied sarcastically. "Why?" Carter asked dumbly.

"Sarcasm Carter, sarcasm, you need a little bit in your life." Nico retorted, almost laughing. Carter blushed, and I could almost hear Horus chanting, I told you so! I told you so. You have a vivid imagination Sadie, Horus doesn't know sarcasm if it bit him on the bottom. I snorted at her and Nico looked at me curiously, "On second thoughts, I think I'll go rest sleep in the Underworld. Yell my name if you need me." The ground opened up into crevass and Nico steped in, without even a glance goodbye.

A/N: Well, you'll see what Hades thinks about this in the next chapter, peace out for now folks
