I am Anubis. Some of you might know me as the Egyptian god of the dead. Some of you may know me as the "god of nothing useful." And yet others may also know me as "The god of toilet paper." Sadie gives me so many names, I can't keep track of them all.
My Sadie. I don't think I need to introduce how we met, she talked enough last time to explain that. I swear that girl could talk about something for so long the gods may grow old and die, but I love that about her. She has those beautiful sapphire eyes that make my heart, long made of stone, pump faster than ever before. Her sweet blonde hair that I just want to stroke to I die. She is perfect.
And yet it can never be.
At least according to Lord Osiris it can't. Gods are forbidden from forming any relationship with a mortal. Personally I just think he is a bit tense about the whole situation since it is HIS daughter. I don't think he realizes how much I love her. I still get scared when I realize how much I love her. Besides, it is forbidden by the laws of gods.
But the simple fact is, I can't not love her, and this causes me all sorts of problems.
You see, every time I try to reason with myself as to why I shouldn't love her, I end up coming up with another reason as to why I DO love her. This is so confusing, I know. Try being me!
All the laws say it can't be, but I was willing to try, and so was she. Neither of us realized what would happen when we ignored the laws and did the forbidden…
I woke up in the middle of the night to the sound of screams. Quickly, I got completely dressed (I was in shorts, but needed jeans and shirt and all that good stuff), and hurried into the Hall of Judgment. Upon my arrival, I witnessed a common sight that is always painful to see. A human soul crying out as it watched Ammit eat their heart. This is saddening, but usually necessary to keep the souls of the wicked at bay.
Anyways, Lord Osiris was presiding over the Hall tonight, and that is why I got to sleep. Even though, as a god, I don't need any, I still took the time to rest. After hearing Osiris read the charges when the soul started to scream why, I found out why his heart was being eaten. Apparently this particular human had been involved in many different terrorist attacks all over the globe. I felt no remorse for his destruction. He has done just that to countless others. After watching Ammit proceed to swallow the heart, I glanced up at Lord Osiris. He did not look happy, and he was staring straight at me. Lowering my vision into the Duat, I saw the true Osiris also staring at me rather angrily. I gulped and returned to myself as I questioned what I might have done. I turned back to watch as the human's soul disappeared from sight. Once it was gone, I prepared to return to my room when I heard Julius Kane's voice call out:
"Anubis. We need to talk."
I gulped and turned towards him, lowering myself down and bowing to my Lord. I took a shaky breath preparing to ask him why.
"About what, My Lord Osiris?" I asked, quickly losing my usual confidence.
"About you and my daughter," Osiris stated rather bluntly "I know you enjoy the company of her."
"She is rather sharp-tongued my lord, but she is in fact a nice person," I stated, trying to get myself out of trouble, "She can be rather annoying at times though."
Ok, not my best idea, saying things that sound like insults to my Lord's daughter. However, I had to try and keep him from realizing just how much I loved her.
"She is my daughter Anubis, and you will do well to remember that before saying such things about her to me." Osiris replied. I gulped and mentally started slapping myself. Why the hell did I just do that? Why? Why? Why?
"Yes my Lord," I said with a curt nod keeping my head low as to not infuriate him any further.
"Good. Now Anubis, do you deny that you enjoy the company of my daughter?" Osiris asked. I felt panic welling within myself. Now what do I say? Yes? No? Depends? Osiris had me cornered, and we both knew it.
Before replying, I lowered my vision into the Duat again, and saw the real Lord Osiris with a smirk on his face awaiting my answer. Great, I thought, He knows I'm cornered too. I saw no other option, so I simply told the truth.
"My Lord Osiris, I do enjoy the company of Sadie Kane. She is very entertaining and fun to be around, which is something I don't get very often," I stated. The panic welled up greater in my chest when I saw Osiris go into a deep thought.
"You are right, Anubis," Osiris said, "You do not get out and have fun very often."
I stayed bowed, but raised an eyebrow at this last statement. Where was he going with this? I heard him stand up and approach me, but I stayed bowed.
"Anubis, you may rise," he said with a softer tone then he had previously used.
I stood up and looked my boss in the eye, and saw his gaze was no longer as intense as it was before. I raised an eyebrow in question, and was about to ask what was going on, when he handed me an interesting looking bracelet. I stole a glance down at the bracelet, and saw the symbols embedded in the golden beads making the bracelet. First was an ankh, then the symbol of Osiris, last, the symbol of… myself. I looked back up, a questioning look on my face. He apparently knew what I would ask because he answered my question before it had left my lips.
"This is a bracelet forged by Osiris one thousand years ago. Its intent was to let you travel throughout the world without having to stay in a place of death. He never finished its creation until a couple years ago. Then came the wars and it took a back seat on his mind. Now, we wish you to have it," My Lord said.
I slipped into the Duat and looked at the true Osiris. He nodded his head in confirmation, and I returned to myself.
"My Lord, why do I need to appear in places other than death?" I asked.
"Because, Anubis, you work all your life. This is not the way you should live. Be warned, however. You must still come and perform your duties in the Hall of Judgment. This is more of a gift to allow you to visit places in your free time," my Lord warned.
I took the bracelet and put it on. It fit perfectly (to no ones surprise), and I felt a sudden feeling of content. This was one of the only gifts ever given to me in five thousand years.
And now that I had the bracelet, I realized I could go and visit Sadie whenever and wherever she may be. And that is exactly what I did first.
I walked quietly into Brooklyn House. I could tell my Sadie wasn't here yet, but I could sense some of the trainees were asleep. I knew better than to wake them. I walked up the stairs to Sadie's room, and awaited her arrival. I didn't have to wait long apparently; as soon as I sat down on her bed I sensed her presence approaching the house. She was with her brother, Carter. I began wondering where they had gone when I heard the front door opening (I have a very acute sense of hearing. You know, dog and all). I could hear a part of their conversation as they walked into the atrium of Brooklyn House. I picked up something like this:
Sadie: "Carter! You can't control my life! I'm not a little girl anymore!
Carter: "Sadie it's forbidden for a reason! Whether you care for him or not, dating a god could only cause you pain!"
At this last statement, a low growl sounded in the back of my throat. There goes Carter again, being all over protective. At least he cares for her though. My emotions towards Carter were kind of conflicting.
Sadie: "You have Zia, why can't I have Anubis?!"
Carter: "Because he is 4986 years older than you!"
Sadie: "Can you give me a reason other than age?!"
At this point there was an awkward silence. My guess: Carter trying to respond to her last statement. The thought of Carter down there stammering about made give a quiet chuckle and I could feel a smile pulling at the edge of my mouth.
Sadie: "That's what I thought!" I guess Carter didn't have an answer. Personally this felt like a small victory to me. "I'm going to bed, but don't think this is over brother! See if you can come up with another reason why we can't be together. If you can't, which you WON'T, then I'm going to talk to Anubis whether you like it or not!"
I smiled at the thought of Carter standing there, baffled by his sister's stubborn persistence. One of the things I love about her. I thought. Then something clicked. Sadie was on her way up here!
By the time this thought had occurred to me, the doorknob was already turning…
A/N
Well here it is! Chapter 2 of the Sanubis fic: My Boyfriend is a God!
What will happen next? Will Anubis greet Sadie? Will he vanish before the door opens? Find out in Chapter 3!
I must say it was much easier writing from Anubis' POV. Writing for a male is MUCH less complicated than writing for a female.
Stay Tuned!
