I see that you guys are liking the story. I'm glad. A few notes at the beginning of this chapter.
a. I'm not going to make Walt evil in this story. I had a complaint that I make him the bad guy. Though, I don't think he was in my last story. I think it was a review to The New Guy. Not going to lie. I made him evil. I don't hate Walt, honestly, he's a pretty decent dude. He'll be good in this story.
b. Don't forget that Anubis is Andrew. I made that mistake so many times while writing. I had to go through and change Anubis to Andrew because I forgot. So, if you see the name Anubis know that it's Andrew until they find out about his true identity, you know if they find out.
Sadie's POV
Carter and I walk with the new guy, Andrew, behind us. Something tells me his name is not actually Andrew. He was hiding something. He mysteriously shows up, gets trapped in an ally with no weapon. Who the hell was this guy? I took it upon myself to bring him along. Andrew was handsome, he had some wonderful brown eyes, black hair, I could tell by the look of his arms that he was pretty fit.
"Dad's going to freak out," Carter says.
"I don't care," I say. "Dad would've done the same thing if he found someone that was in need of help. He's also a little mysterious. I like it."
I look back behind us. Andrew was far enough away that he probably couldn't hear us. He looked kind of like a lost puppy. He was looking around at the buildings like he's never seen anything like it. I noticed that his ears have a slight point to them. His hair covers most of it. He was actually kind of cute. Besides being drop dead gorgeous. I wanted to learn more about this mysterious man, so I brought him with us.
"You guys brought me to a warehouse?" Andrew asks. "Are you going to kill me?"
"No," I say. "If I wanted to kill you, well, I wouldn't have saved your life."
"I usually can handle myself," Andrew mutters. He says something else but I couldn't quite hear what it was.
"It's not a warehouse by the way," I say. "Come along."
Carter had already went inside, probably wanted nothing to do with my bringing of a new person. Last time I brought in a new person… well, let's just say he ended up getting killed by my father for trying to touch his only daughter. How was I know the guy was going to be a creep? I had already beaten him up and thrown him off the balcony. My dad decided to finish the job and got rid of him. I have high hopes for Andrew over here though.
I walk through the doors. My dad was waiting. He sees Andrew and immediately gets mad. "Sadie Ruby Kane!" He yells. "I told you not to bring in anymore strangers!"
"Hold on, dad." I hold my hands up. "This guy needs help. He nearly got his head cut off by a demon."
"We can't trust everyone we find Sadie," My dad says. "I want him gone."
"Hell no," I say. "Dad, listen, he has no food, no weapons, all he has is the clothes on his body and a backpack with like two blankets. Not to mention the boy looks like he needs to eat."
"No," My dad says.
"This is bullshit dad," I say. "You let Carter bring in Zia after saving her from her whole group being taken out by Set."
"Julius," My uncle Amos says. "Just let her have it this once."
"Then what of the next time," My dad says to Amos. "She doesn't listen. She'll bring in more."
"If you let him stay," I say. "I will not bring anymore strangers in. Please dad."
Julius takes a minute to think about it. He looks at me and tries to have a stare off. He stops. "Very well," He says. "He can stay, no more strangers Sadie. I mean it."
"Thank you," I hug him.
He hugs me back and kisses my head. "Go give him a room and see if anyone has clothes, he can have."
"Come on Andrew," I say.
Andrew walks beside me as we head up the steps. "I didn't know you guys were the Kanes."
"Is that a problem?" I ask.
"No… uh… you guys are just… well known," Andrew tells me.
"Because people think we can stop Set and Apophis," I say. "That's my dad ongoing plan. Him, my uncle, and Carter are the main leaders around here. I don't get to do much, wonder the house, occasionally go on missions with Carter to find supplies. I remind my family of my mother, they don't want anything to happen to me."
I stop at a room. "Here you go," I open the door. He walks in. "Whoa."
"Yeah," I say. "Cool right? It's like your own apartment. We usually use the main kitchen downstairs if you want something to eat. I'll let you take a shower. I'm going to see if I can get some clothes for you to wear. I'll leave them on your bed for you. There's towels and everything you need in there."
"Thank you," Andrew says.
I smile. I turn and wonder off. Andrew looked like a really strong person. I knew another person whose clothes might be a perfect fit. Walt Stone. Walt Stone was brought here when he was 16 years old. I had been 13 at the time. I had a massive crush on him at first. My father, Julius Kane, thought he would mention to me that Walt would be a suitable boyfriend for me in the future about a couple years ago. That's when I decide that wasn't going to happen. I don't want my father screwing with my love life. He controls the rest of my life. Who he finds suitable for me is not going to work. I will find someone on my own and preferably one that doesn't have father dearest's approval. I stopped at Walt's door and knocked on it.
Walt opens the door, he was pretty handsome, he had black hair, almost shaved, and brown eyes. Walt was wearing running shorts and no shirt. "Walter," I say. I look down at his shirtless body. "Put a shirt on."
"I was in my room so I didn't think I was going to be bothered by the great Sadie Kane," He says. "I told you I don't like when you call me Walter." He says as I duck under his arm and invited myself into his room. I sit down on the couch, and put my feet up on it. Walt turns towards me. "Can I help you?"
"Yes," I say. "So, there's a new guy here. I found him on the street."
"Sadie, remember the last guy you found on the street?" Walt says. "I thought Julius told you no more."
"I told him if he lets this one in, I'll bring no more in," I say. "Anyway, I saved this guy from a demon. He had no weapons, food, or nothing useful."
"Is there a point to this?" Walt asks.
"Yes," I say. "You are the only one I can think off whose clothes will fit him. Some jeans, some shirts, something for him to wear? Got any you can spare. I understand if you don't have shirts." I referred to the fact that he had no shirt. Although, I didn't mind it.
"Let me see what I have," Walt says. He walks into his closet.
I move my legs from the couch and put my feet on the ground. I got up and wondered his room. Walt had some photos of his parents. He father had been dead before this happened. When he was 16, when we found him, he had just lost his mother. She sacrificed herself so that Walt could escape a hoard of demons. Carter, Amos, and Julius found him. I had been 13 years old and my dad said I wasn't allowed to go outside. I had to wait until I was 15 like Carter was. Though, I was able to leave when I was 14 because my father insisted that I go with Carter and Walt if I wanted to go out. I started training how to fight with and without magic. Our magic would be undetected if we preformed it in here. Out there, we had to do our best without it or Set could easily find us and have our place blown up.
"Here you go," Walt says. He hands me a bunch of stuff.
"Thanks," I say. "You're the best Walter."
Walt rolled his eyes. He hated when I called him that. I loved messing with him as much as I loved messing with Carter. They both hated me at times. I know if something happened to me, Walt and Carter would instantly be hunting that person or thing down. I walked down to where I left Andrew. Walt had given me 5 pairs of jeans, 5 different t-shirts, a couple pairs of shorts, and an unopened package of boxers for Andrew. I open the door to his room and set them on his bed. I heard the shower running. The bathroom door was opened a little. Not enough for anyone to see anything. I take a piece of paper and write on it.
Meet me downstairs in the kitchen when you're finished up here.
-Sadie
I left the room and shut the door behind me.
Let me know what you guys think. Also, do you like switching between Sadie and Anubis's POV. I think it's best for this story because we learn more about Anubis trying to hide his identity and Sadie trying to figure out the mystery of Andrew. Love you guys. Thanks for the reviews I got. I think when I'm writing this there was three of you! Thanks to you three!
