Thanks for continuing to review. I know, I've posted almost everyday since I started this story. I do have school so I may not update as regularly. I will try my best to get more written for you guys. I don't plan on having a year gap like some of my stories have. I promise I will not be doing that. I am however going to try my best.

Anubis's POV

I was in my bathroom, I had just gotten out of the shower and I put on my jeans. I grabbed my shirt and slung it over my shoulder. I grab my towel and dry my hair as I walk out into the bedroom. I stop when I see Sadie sitting on the couch with her legs up. She was looking out the doors to the balcony. She turns her head towards me. When she sees that I was shirtless she looks at me before she snaps back and meets my eyes. "Hey," She says. "The door was open so I invited myself in."

"I see," I say. I put the towel down and pulled the shirt on over my head. Sadie moves her legs so I could sit next to her on the couch. "How was your father?"

"Fine," She says. "Just making sure I was okay."

"He probably just worries about you cares for your safety. I see that in Julius, Carter, Amos, and Walt." I tell her.

"Yeah," She says. "They are the ones that care for me the most."

"You and Walt seem pretty close," I say.

"We're good friends," She says.

"You guys were never more than friends?" I ask.

"No," She says. "I had a crush on him in the past. We never were anything more than friends. Besides, he's dating Jaz anyways." Sadie crosses her arms. "Why are you asking?"

"No reason," I say. "I just wondered if you guys had something going on."

"We don't," She says. "Are your jealous jackal boy?"

I know she got that nickname from my tattoo. I smile at the nickname because if I had my powers I could turn into a literal jackal. I see Sadie smiling at me.

"What?" I ask.

"When your lost in thought or confused you tilt your head sideways," She says.

"Sorry," I say. "I guess I never know I actually do it."

"It's cute," She says.

Sadie and I had both moved since we both had sat down on the couch. Sadie had sat facing me with her legs crossed. I sat facing her with one of my legs under my body and the other one hanging off the edge of the couch. I look at her face, her neck, and her arms. The cuts and burns that she had were gone due to Jaz's potion and spell. I looked back up and my eyes met hers. She moved her eyes from mine to my lips and back to my eyes. Next thing I know Sadie was kissing me. She had leaned forward. Her knees were rested on my leg. I kissed her back. I put my hands on her waist and pulled her closer to me. I stretched my legs out on the couch so that Sadie was now straddling me. She had her arms around my neck.

We were interrupted by someone knocking on the doorway. The door had been opened the whole time. Sadie jumps back and immediately stands up. I turn towards the door. It was just Jaz.

"Your dad has called a meeting," She says. Jaz crosses her arms. "I'm pretty sure this is considered physical activity Sadie."

Sadie groans. "Shut the hell up Jaz."

Jaz laughs and heads out of the room. I get up and follow Sadie out of my room. A lot of the people were already in the great room. Amos, Julius, and Carter all stood by the library doors. Jaz was sitting on Walt's lap in a chair. He had his arm rested on the arm of the chair. Sean and Julian were sitting with a couple other guys. Alyssa was sitting next to a boy maybe three years younger than Sadie. Once everyone was gathered Julius starts speaking.

"The reason that I have called this meeting is because we have news," Julius says. "I have word from magicians in Canada that they might have a location on Horus. Amos and I will head out to see if Horus is at this location. The trip could take about two weeks. Carter and Sadie will be in charge while we are away."

"Here we go again," Sadie says.

"I assume this isn't the first time he's searched for the gods?" I asked her.

"No," Sadie says. "There's been a few. It's all he ever does. He thinks that they can fix the world."

"Not all of the gods are bad," I say. "There's a few good ones."

"Like who?" Sadie asks.

"Anubis," I say. "Didn't he help aid the escape of magicians."

"Yeah," Sadie says. "Isn't he like a death god."

"Death, funerals, mummification, burials…." I was interrupted by Sadie.

"If I wanted to know all of that I would ask Carter," She says. "How do you know so much about Anubis anyway?"

'I am him,' I wanted to say. I decided it's best not to mention being a god. It may never even have to be a problem. I could just be Andrew, the magician who lost his powers. Set probably thinks I'm long dead by now. "My uncle taught me everything about the gods," I tell her. "He was an ancient mythology teacher as well as a magician."

"I guess that make since," She says.

"Hello," A voice says. Sadie turns and I look up to see Julius Kane.

"Hello, Mr. Kane." I say.

"It's just Julius," Julius says.

"Mr. Kane got confusing since there's two of them," Sadie explains.

"Sadie, do you mind if I talk to Andrew for a minute?" Julius says. Sadie nods and walks away. She wonders off and I watch as she hugs her uncle. "I just want to thank you for saving my daughter yesterday."

"It's really no problem," I say. "She saved my life and I saved hers."

"My daughter is very important to me," Julius says. "I'm glad I can count on people to keep her safe while I'm away."

"I won't let anything happen to her," I say.

"Thank you, again." Julius says before turning around and leaving.

"What did he want?" Sadie asks walking back over to me.

"He thanked me for saving you the other day," I tell her. I choose to leave the part about him mentioning people keeping her safe while he's away.

"You see," She says. "You will never hear the end of it."

"I'm starting to see that," I tell her. "I just couldn't let you die."

Sadie smiles. I loved her smile. I had only been here for about a week but I had already had feelings for her. Sadie spends a lot of the rest of the day with her dad and uncle who were going away for a couple weeks in search of Horus. I spend the rest of my dad practicing some training and then resting. I was still tired from having my powers taken away. After 5,000 plus years of having powers I could go on less sleep and still have energy. I was still trying to get use to being a normal person. I understood why all of the gods ended up dead after having their powers taken. If it weren't for Sadie, I'd probably be dead already.

I hope you guys enjoyed that Sanubis moment! Also, I promise longer chapters will come. Sometimes when I start a story it takes me a while to get the chapters longer.
