Hey guys, ~TheFireKing here with my newest chapter for My Boyfriends a God! (ugh I know! Finally!)
This makes CH 9 of this story, and hopefully this chapter will raise the story above the 4000 view mark. If you're reading this, I appreciate the continuous support!
Now as for why it has taken me so long to update, I have been going through and reading some Pokémon, Digimon, and Spyro stories. Ah the memories… Any who, I decided that it would be a good idea to stop reading and start writing again after reading the reviews for this story. Yes, they truly do help inspire people! I'll be sure to leave reviews more often from now on. Thanks again to all who reviewed. You helped inspire me to continue this story.
And without further ado!
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN THE KANE CHRONICLES! PLEASE DON'T SUE ME! THANK YOU!
And now, on to business.

Have you ever been so desperate for something you felt willing to trade the world in return to have that something? Well, that's how I felt. Still no word on Anubis and as the clock ticks on, I grew more insane in my fruitless attempt to locate my godly boyfriend. I was desperate to know what fate had befallen my beloved Jackal Boy. Everyday I waited for some news on Anubis, anything to know that he was still around and resisting Apophis, but I feared the worst. Not to mention the sudden eerie silence that the gods had fallen into. Not a single one was talking, which, in and of it self, should've been my sign something terrible had transpired. Not that I need to tell you that. You know all about the rise of Apophis.
Oh, and as for the apparent message that was awaiting us here in Brooklyn… silence. Not a single peep from anybody. To me it seemed as if life has screeched to a stop. Unfortunately, the peace brought along with that halt could never last long, and Carter and I were all too aware of that. We awaited the day that the world would come crashing down on top of us.
Looking back on it, I had no idea how quickly things turned for the worst. But for now, let's just say that when the world came crashing, there was no way we were going to stop it alone, and the gods of Egypt were all too aware of that.
"SADIE!" a voice rang through Brooklyn House.
"CARTER, WHAT DO YOU WANT?!" I hollered back. I've said it before and I'll say it again. He really should just walk up the stairs and talk to me. Maybe then we wouldn't have to worry about waking the entire city, just the initiates.
"GET DOWN HERE NOW! YOU'LL WANT TO SEE THIS!" the response was.
I grunted and pulled the other earbud out of my ear. It seems all I had done recently was sit and listen to music. I mean, what else was I to do when waiting for the end of the world?
Opening the door of my room, I could already tell something was very wrong. Brooklyn House was silent, like, pen drop silent. There was no screaming, no hollering, and no penguins. Do I even need to tell how rarely there aren't penguins in this house? Maybe once every generation. Apparently that once happened to be today...
I walked into the living room and saw the television turned to the Channel 13 live news broadcast. Standing behind the couch, I listened as the anchor went on about riots and robberies all over the world.
"It's almost as if all at once every criminal in the world went active. Needless to say, the entire planet is descending into total…"
"Chaos," Carter finished with the anchor. I flipped around to see him walking up from behind me with a Coke in his hands. "You know what this means right Sadie?" He asked me with a tired look. I could tell that he was really worried. To be fair, he had an excellent reason to be.
"Apophis has made his move," I said with a nod of the head. Carter gave me a dull nod in confirmation. We both knew what had happened. I wish I could say that I was surprised at what Apophis had caused this world to become, but when you've been expecting such an event for months, it's hard to be caught off guard. Unfortunately, this act could only mean that what ever Apophis' had planned for revenge on us was fast approaching. We were running out of time. "Well what are we going to do about it? There is no way in Ra's name that we could stand up to Apophis alone again. Last time was hard enough, and by the looks of the planet today, I'd say that he is at least three times as powerful as before."
"And we weren't alone," Carter stated rather flatly.
I gave him my best Thanks for dashing all my hopes glare and turned back to the television. "Soo.. how exactly are we going to do this then?" I asked him turning my head back around.
"As far as I know, we can't. At least not right now," he replied. "In the meantime, we need to be ready for any attacks that could be thrown at us at anytime. I have a feeling Apophis didn't waste energy on creating mass chaos simply for the fun of it. I think he's trying to distract us," he hypothesized.
"I don't see how plunging the world into chaos is going to distract us. He must know that we would be waiting for him to come. To me, it looks like he is trying to distract someone else," I reasoned. The logic seemed sound, what good does throwing the whole world into chaos do if it doesn't affect your targets? That seemed flawed to me.
"Maybe he assumed that we would try to assist in the clean-up efforts, thus distracting us. Besides, who else would he be trying to distract?" Carter countered.
"Carter, we are dealing with Apophis here. We both know from experience that he doesn't make assumptions. If it is the work of Apophis, which I'm sure it is, then we could bet our entire future's earnings that he has all the angles worked in his favor," I corrected him. "No, something else is at play here."
Carter gave me a strange look, one that seemed to ask me when I had become the expert on tactics. Little did he know I had done some reading in my free time. After shaking his head he responded: "Like what?"
I sunk deep into thought, trying to think like the snake. What would he do? How could he use this to press an advantage? What did he have...
I felt the chill go down my spine. The one thing Apophis had at the moment. The one being that could make us surrender.
I looked to Carter with a panic-stricken face and said the name: "Anubis..."
The reaction from Carter was instantaneous. Almost as if I could see his blood run cold and his dark face turn pale. We both knew that was what Apophis would do. He would get to our loved ones and use them against us, even if Anubis was a bit more beloved by me than Carter.
"Sadie we need to stop him. Now," Carter said, emphasizing the "Now." Like he needed to tell me that, I was well aware of what needed done. We had to find and defeat Apophis, rescue Anubis, and save the world from killing itself. A tall order for even the gods, let along two magicians. Granted, aid magicians had saved the world from the big bad snake-thingy before.
"We need to find a way to access more power. We need something, and we need it quick," I replied to Carter, who responded with a nod. It was about that time I heard a voice in my head. The crystal clear voice, smooth as glass that I would never forget, no matter how hard I tried to. The voice that could only belong to one person.
Maybe I can help with that… I looked to Carter with panic etched on my face and could tell he was hearing something similar from an old friend. ISIS?!
It's been a long time Sadie, said the unmistakable voice of Isis. She chuckled, Apparently, too long...
Well, what did you think? Let me know, and stay tuned for the next chapter of My Boyfriend is a God!
