Sadie's POV

**Week Four**

Week four. It's been two more days into the week and still, no Kyle. I sat there. I was worried. What had happened to him? I tried asking the guard when he came in for my lunch. No response. I decided to stay in my pajamas. A pair of black shorts with a white tank top. The top was thin so you could see the outline of my black bra. I figured I was going to be locked in the room all day so I wasn't going to take time to care. I had my hair tied up into a messy bun. I marked the day on the wall. I layed down on my bed and stared at the ceiling.

I wondered what Anubis was doing. I want to be with Anubis. What would I do if I saw him again? Probably stair into his brown eyes, wrap my arms around his neck, kiss his warm and soft lips, run my fingers through his black hair. 'Snap out of it Sadie,' I think to myself. 'Next time you see him you will be killed in front of him.' The door of my room opens interrupting my thoughts.

"Hey Sadie," Kyle says.

I sit up and walk over to him. He had a bandage on his head and his eye was bruised. I hug him. "Oh my god," I say. "I'm so glad you're okay."

"Ow," Kyle says. "Maybe not hug me."

I pull away. "Why?" I ask.

"I have a couple broken and bruised ribs," Kyle says.

I pull up his shirt without hesitation. I study his chest and abdomen. There were dark bruises all over. I put my hand on one of the bruises and he flinches. I release his shirt and he pulls it down. "Your dad did this to you?" I ask.

"Yeah," Kyle says. Kyle sits down on my bed. I stand in front of him. He was tall enough so that when he sat on my bed, he was the same height as me.

"He's horrible," I say. "How did you manage to make it this far?" I ask.

"I have hope that one day I'll be out of here." Kyle says. "It hasn't been that long. Only 21 years."

I look at the wall. Four weeks. I've been here four weeks. He's been here 21 years. That's over 1,000 weeks. "If I'm here as long as you, I'm going to need a bigger wall." I gesture to my wall of marks.

Kyle smiled. "If it didn't hurt to laugh," He says. "I probably would've."

I smile. "Just trying to make the situation brighter."

"The situation got brighter when you showed up," Kyle says. "I've never met a girl or anyone my age since Anubis."

"So, you've never had any friends. No girlfriend, boyfriend, best friend, nothing." I say.

"Nope," Kyle says. "How about you? You have any friends? Girlfriend? Boyfriend? Best friend?"

"I have friends, I had a boyfriend once his name was Walt, my best friends are Liz and Emma, Jaz, Alyssa, Cleo. I have a brother. Carter." I stop. Kyle looked very interested in the topic.

"That's a lot," Kyle says.

"You do have one friend," I say. "I'm here."

Kyle smiles. "Yeah. Thanks Sadie." He sits there a minute. "I'm sorry our plan didn't work."

"I'm sorry you got hurt for trying to escape," I say.

"You didn't know that was going to happen," Kyle says. "I was hoping we would escape and I didn't have to worry about Markus."

"You tried to escape before," I say. "Did he beat you then too?"

"Yes," Kyle says. "I had a broken arm and a broken leg."

Kyle had a sadness in his eyes. His mom died, he lived here with his father who was no better than Set. Kyle was alone. No one to help him. Kyle leans in and kisses me. Part of me wanted to pull away because I wished he was Anubis. Another part of me wanted to kiss him. He risked getting beat up to try to escape with me. It was my fault that he ended up with bruised ribs. I decided to kiss him back. He was shocked by this but he continued to kiss me. He put a hand on my face. I put my hands on his neck. Kyle pulled away.

"I'm sorry," He says. "I never kissed someone before. I wanted to know what it felt like. I shouldn't have done it. I know you and Anubis are close by the way you look when you talk about him and I-"

I interrupt him by kissing him again. "It's fine," I say. "Set wants me dead remember. I might never see Anubis again." That made me feel a little pain in my chest.

"You'll see Anubis again," Kyle says. "I promise."

I kissed Kyle again. He kissed me back. This time the kiss was deeper. We move so that Kyle was sitting on the bed leaning on the headboard. I sat in his lap with my legs hanging over the edge of the bed. We were interrupted by a guard coming to take Kyle away. I move off of him and Kyle gets up and leaves.

Kyle took my mind off of everything. Set, wanting me dead. Anubis, wherever he was and what he was doing. My mind wondered back to Anubis. Anubis and I kissed a couple of times but we weren't officially anything. I still felt bad. What happened if I was back with Anubis and Kyle escaped with us. I would have both of them to deal with. 'That's a problem that you shouldn't worry about right now' I think to myself. 'You don't know what's going to happen.'

"Sadie," Anubis says. "Where are you taking me?"

"Just come on," I say. I was holding Anubis' hand dragging him behind me. I wore a white dress. Anubis wore a white shirt and regular jeans with his boots. I was also wearing boots. I stop when we were under a tree. We had walked through a field. I lean against the tree and grabbed Anubis by his jacket and pulled him into me. Still holding on to his jacket, I kissed him. He had put his hands on my hips and kissed me back. Anubis stopped and pulled away from me. He rested his head on mine. I put my hands on his chest. I close my eyes. When I open them Anubis was gone, "Anubis!" I call. I run out into the field. He was nowhere to be found.

I wake up. It was dark. I turn the lamp on. "It was a dream," I say to myself. I get up and go to the bathroom and rinse my face with water. I then take a cup that I kept from one of my meals and put water in it. I took a sip. I put the cup on the end table. I turned the lamp off. I was starting to go insane. Four weeks. Twenty-eight days. Without Anubis or knowing if I was going to live or die.

I hope you guys aren't mad about Kyle and Sadie. I promise Sadie and Anubis end up together. I just thought this would be a good way to bring some entertainment. And, it's all part of the plan. Like I said in the previous chapter notes. I'm trying to get this story done so I can start another one. I'm still debating on which one to do first. I have three story ideas. I will use all of them at one point. I just want to do one at a time so I can stay focused and not confuse myself. I have some chapters for one of them written. I'm thinking maybe a description of the two out of the three that I'm debating on. Would you guys like to see the two ideas and you guys tell me what one you'd like first? I'm going to be writing another chapter tomorrow. I don't know if it will be posted. I'm going to try my best.

On another note, I want to thank all of you for reading. Also, the reviewers, I love you guys. You are all so excited to see what happens next. I love that I'm making something that people enjoy. That's why I'm also in the works of writing a book of my own instead of stories based on a book.
