Amber sits up everything around her no longer her father's office, where am I? everything was completely dark and cold under her touch from the ground. She stands up carefully all her senses on high alert.
A deep, but familiar voice chuckles, "Looks like the little vampire failed by the looks of it,"
"At least show yourself,"
He chuckles again, "Here I thought you would like to stay in the dark,"
Amber rolled her eyes, "Not when my opponent has the upper hand. Not that it matter because this is your place,"
He snaps his fingers and fires burst in their bowls lighting up the whole room or more like throne. Where Anubis was sitting at the end of the room with that annoying smirk on his handsome face that boils Amber's blood.
"Smart. Makes me glad you are the chosen one,"
Amber frowns and tries her best not to sneer at him, "What are you even talking about? what is this about 'the little vampire failed'?"
He stretches his arms upward then sets them on the armrest, "I made a deal with him to replace your soul that I should have gotten with your father, but even doing something so simple he failed. Now well as you can see,"
Amber narrow her eyes, "You say that, but I am not dead yet,"
"Another point for you," he said and claps.
Amber's hand close by her side, annoying god!
"You do know I can hear that,"
Amber smiles, "Good for you. Do you want a treat?"
Anubis glares at her, "Don't anger me, human,"
Amber rolls her eyes, "If you really wanted me dead we would be here running our mouths, so get to the point,"
Anubis shakes his head, "You are right. I do need you," he looks her up and down, "well your body mostly because it is able to handle me,"
"So, you want to get rid of my soul so you can use my body to do who knows what in the world of the living?"
He nods, "I can't go up there and I need some people dead for trespassing and stealing,"
"Just asking could you not just ask me to do that for you instead of killing me?"
He looks away and Amber narrow her gaze slightly.
"There is more to it,"
He doesn't say anything and Amber continues to observe him noting the twitch of his lips and his stiff posture.
That a grin spreads, "You actually like me,"
"I am a god! not a love puppy!" he blinks placing his hand on his chin as he realize what he just said which only makes Amber grin more.
"Forget like you have crush on me and you didn't even bother denying it,"
He grumbles.
"Fine,"
"Huh?"
"I am pretty sure you heard me," she said crossing her arms.
"Why are you agreeing?"
"Because as much you don't like it I do want to live and if you decide to take my soul. How will that help you? because I doubt you have any clue how to move in the world of the living. So, you need me,"
He chuckles covering his eyes, "You are unbelievable,"
Amber shrugs, "I am pretty sure that my charm,"
He drops his hand and smirks, "Indeed," he stood up and makes his way to Amber who stays in place. She has to look up to meet his gaze.
"I will be watching," he said and kisses her. Sending her back to living and into Ford's arms.
Who smiles when she opens her eyes, "Amber!" and hugs her.
