Anubis POV
BOOM. Was the loud sound followed by a very large earthquake like feeling. I got up and went out of the doors to see what happened. A giant fireball had hit the ground across the street. Carter and Walt were trying to get past a wall of fire. On the side I could get to was an unconscious Sadie. I ran across the street and dropped on my knees next to Sadie. I checked her pulse. She wasn't breathing. I hold my hand out to use my powers. I didn't have those.
I pressed my hands against her chest and start doing compressions then, performed mouth to mouth resuscitation. I repeated the process a couple more times before she started breathing again. I brushed her hair out of her face and held her head in my lap. Carter and Walt had finally gotten to me. Carter drops down beside me while Walt ran in to get Jaz.
"What happened?" Carter asks.
"She wasn't breathing," I say. "I got her breathing again. She's okay."
"Thank you," Carter says.
Walt, Jaz, and Zia come running out. The fire had died down. Jaz hands Carter a potion and he manages to get Sadie to drink the potion. She was still unconscious. "Let's get her up to her room," Jaz says. "Andrew, would you carry her."
I pick her up and carry her up the steps to her room. I manage to get her jacket off and her boots off. Jaz preforms a healing spell. "She should be fine," Jaz says. "We just have to wait for her to wake up. So, one of you should stay here and wait for her to wake up."
"Andrew," Carter says. "You do it, incase she stops breathing again."
"Are you sure?" I ask. "You are her brother. I'm still a stranger to most of you."
"I trust you," Carter says.
Carter and Zia leave. I sit on the couch and watch Sadie. She was breathing. I remembered running to her body and realizing that she wasn't breathing. If I had my powers, I probably could've got her breathing again. I guess I had managed to do that without my powers. I felt relieved that I was able to do something good since I'd lost my powers. I continued to watch Sadie. She started moving in her sleep. Sadie was still beautiful when she was sleeping. I was starting to think about her a lot since she saved me. Her caramel blond hair that went to her shoulders, her deep blue eyes, her smile made me forget how useless I was without my powers.
I spent a couple more hours sitting on the couch before she starts to wake up. I get up and walk over to the bed. Sadie opens here eyes. "What happened?" She asks still laying down.
"What do you remember?" I ask.
"I remember a giant fireball coming at us and Walt and Carter yelling at me," She says.
"Well," I say. "You were dead."
"What!" Sadie sits up.
I put a hand on her. "Calm down," I say. "Don't panic too much."
"How am I alive?" She asks.
"I managed to bring you back with CPR," I say.
"Thank you," She says. "I guess were even on the lifesaving?"
"Guess were even," I say. "Let's try not to need to save each other's lives a habit."
"Good idea," She says.
"How are you feeling?" I ask. "I should probably go get Carter."
"I'm feeling fine," She says. "Don't go get Carter." She grabs my hand. "He's going to ask me so many questions. I'll have a headache by the time he's done."
I sit back down. Sadie was studying me. I let her do that for a while before I speak. "What?" I ask.
"Nothing," She says. She leans closer to me. I leaned closer to her. I wanted to kiss her. We were a couple inches apart before there was a knock on the door causing us to split apart.
We both look at the door. It was Carter. "Sadie," He says. "How are you feeling?"
"I'm fine Carter," She says.
"I take Jaz's healing potion is working," Carter says.
"Yes," She says. "Though you should really be thanking Andrew here. If I hadn't found him, I could be dead right now."
"I can't thank him enough," Carter says. "Thank you, Andrew, really. My sister means more to me than anything."
"I can't imagine having a sibling," I say to them. "I couldn't imagine how you felt. I just knew that I had to save her."
"Dad will probably not let me go on missions for a while," Sadie says.
"I'm not letting you go on missions for a while," Carter says. "It's getting more dangerous out there."
"Come on," Sadie says. "I'm really resourceful out there."
"You are," Carter says. "I know that. You know that. Dad knows that."
"Then let me keep going on missions," Sadie says.
"I'll try to talk to dad about it," Carter says. "I can't promise I'll get through to him. I'll let you rest."
Carter gets up and leaves. "I should probably let you rest."
"I'd like it if you stayed," Sadie says.
"Okay," I say. I sit next to Sadie on her bed.
"Have you ever been in love?" She asks.
"I've dated," I say. "I wouldn't exactly say I was in love. Why do you ask?"
"Just trying to figure out more about you," She says. "Do you have a current relationship?"
"No," I say.
I don't think she noticed that I saw her smile after I said no. Did she like me as much as I like her? "I'm still tired," She says. "Dying takes a lot of energy out of a person."
I laugh. "You don't even know," I say.
"I don't know what the hell that means," She says. "I'm too tired to ask."
She moves to lay down. I laid down with her. She puts her head on my chest. I put my arm around her. She rested on of her hands on my stomach. I placed a hand over hers. I stayed there until she fell asleep. I had decided that Carter probably wouldn't be too happy that I stayed with his sister. I quietly leave the room. I then walked down the hall to my own room and thought about the events of the day. Sadie died and I brought her back to life, Sadie and I almost kissed. Almost.
