Anubis's POV

I reach my arm out to find Sadie. When I don't feel anyone, I open my eyes. I was laying on my stomach. I get up and realized that I was in my own room. I get dressed in dark jeans, a white t-shirt, and my boots. I walk down to Sadie's room and open the door. Sadie was asleep. Her body was tangled in blankets. She lay on her back with her face turned to the side. One of her arms were on her stomach and the other one was on her pillow next to her. I close her door and decide to let her sleep some more. Sadie was starting to sleep with less nightmares of her father's death waking her up. I walk down the hall and run into Isis.

"Anubis," She smiles. "Good morning."

"Good morning," I hug her. "How are you adjusting?"

"Alright, I'm just not used to be around so many mortals." She says. "I don't know how you are so used to them."

"They saved my life and gave me shelter when I needed it after losing my powers. Sadie specifically, I remember her arguing with her dad to let me stay. Sadie was the one that killed the demon that nearly killed me. She taught me how to fight and survive without my powers." I explain as we walk through the halls.

"You seem very fond of that Sadie girl," Isis says. "You know the rules. God's can't date mortals."

"I know," I say. "Which reminds me. I have a question."

"What is it?" She stops and looks me in the eyes.

"Can you take away my powers?" I ask. "When this fight with Apophis is over?"

"Why on earth would you want me to do that?" She asks.

"I've lived for 5000 plus years. I know, I'm not allowed to date mortals because I'm a god. I love Sadie more than anything in the world. I want you to take my powers away so that I won't be a god. I want to be a mortal and live the rest of my life with her." I tell her.

Isis looks at me for a couple minutes. "Are you sure you don't want to think about it some more?"

"I don't," I say. "For once in my life, I know what I want. Set took that away when he gave me my powers back."

Isis realized I wasn't going to change my mind. "When the fight with Apophis is over and if that's still what you want. I'll do it. I'll take away your powers and you can live a mortal life."

"Thank you," I hug her.

She smiles. "It's for the best," She says. "I've never seen you in a good mood or this happy."

"Sadie makes me happy," I say. "I'm going to go check up on her. I'll talk to you later."

I leave Isis in the halls by herself. Yesterday Sadie asked me if Isis or Ra could take my powers away. I told her I'd think about it. The truth was, I didn't need to give it any thought. My immortal life as a death god or a mortal life with Sadie. I go back to Sadie's room. When I got there, she was still sleeping. She was towards the middle of the bed and she was facing towards the wall away from me. I sit on the bed and shake her lightly. Sadie makes a grumbling sound. She ignored the shaking. I moved her hair away from her face and kiss her cheek. When she doesn't respond to that, I kiss her jaw, then her neck, then her shoulder.

"What do you want Jackal boy?" She finally asks turning towards me and opening her blue eyes and stares right into my eyes.

"We should probably get some training in," I say. "We don't know when Apophis will arrive."

Sadie sits up and stretches her arms out in front of her. "You're right," She says. "Where were you last night? I thought you'd be here."

"I fell asleep in my room," I say. "I took a shower and put some shorts. I meant to lay down for a minute."

"Why don't you move your stuff to my room?" She asks. "You rarely sleep in your room."

"Are you sure that's okay with Carter and Amos?" I ask.

"You think they don't know that you're in here most of the time anyway?" She says. "They've been to busy to notice even if they did have a problem with it."

"You really want me to?" I ask.

"Why not?" She tells me. "I mean, I'm sure you plan on only staying here until Apophis is defeated. Then, you'll probably have to go do whatever it is that you do as a god."

"Actually," I say. "I talked to Isis this morning. Isis told me that she will take away my powers after we deal with Apophis. She didn't seem to like the idea at first. She said if it's what I really wanted."

"Is that really what you want?" Sadie asks me.

"All I want," I say. "Is to live a happy life with you. I love you."

Sadie smiles and kisses me. "I love you too."

Sadie and I hug before she gets up and starts getting ready. I go back to my room and make the bed. I gather all of the clothes that I had and put them into the backpack. I grab my other pair of shoes and the weapons belt that Sadie gave me and make my way back to her room. When I get back, she was sitting on her bed tying her hair up. She wore black shorts, a red sports bra, and a black sweater that wasn't zipped up. She looks at me.

"Wow," She says. "Is that everything you have?"

"Yes," I say. "Everything you gave me when I first arrived."

I go to the bathroom and replace my jeans with shorts. I change my boots for shoes. Sadie and I go to the training room to practice some fighting.

Sadie and I had finished practice. We were both sweating from the hard work. We take turns taking showers. We both wore jeans, white t-shirts, and boots. Sadie sits on her bed white I place my clothes in the closet. It was a walk-in closet. Sadie had all of her things on one side and the other side was empty. I assumed she did that because she didn't have a lot of things in the closet.

"I should find Carter," Sadie says. "Ask him if there's a plan and how were doing."

"I'm sure we still have a while until Apophis shows up," I tell her.

"A week at the least," Sadie says. "I'm just worried."

"Everything is going to be fine," I sit on the bed next to her and place a hand on her knee. "Besides, we have a few gods with powers on our side. Carter got more magicians to come help us. I think the odds are in our favor.

"I wonder what it's going to be like, when we take the world back." Sadie says. "We won't have to fight demons, gods, and guards. We can all live without being hunted by Set and Apophis. Rebuild. Make a proper graveyard for those we lost."

Neither Julius or Ruby had a gravestone. Julius's body was burned. Ruby's was lost. There were also many others that never got a gravestone. Amos has a list of people that everyone at this house has lost. Him and Julius apparently insisted everyone write there names down so they can remember them by. I stand up and hold out my hand.

"Let's go find Carter," I tell her. Sadie grabs my hand. I pull her up and we walk down the halls to find Carter and Amos.

I promise, were getting to the battle. Hope you enjoyed. Let me know what you think.
