Sadie POV

I was dressed in black jeans, a white tank top, and my boots. Since my dad was gone it only took me two days to beg Carter to let me go out to find some stuff. I had packed my bag with some food, healing potions, a couple extra layers of clothes incase I got cold. I stop at Andrew's door and knock on it.

I had barely saw Andrew since we kissed two days ago. He spent some time playing basketball with the guys. He has become good friends with Walt, Sean, Julian, Paul, and Felix. He opens the door. Andrew wore dark blue jeans, a t-shirt, and some boots. "Hey Sadie," He says.

"Pack a bag jackal boy," I say to him. "We are going out."

"You got Carter to let you go?" He asks.

"Yes," I say. "The only reason he's letting me go is because I told him I'd bring you with me."

"I'll be down in a couple minutes," He says.

I head down and meet Carter. "Where's Andrew?" He asks me.

"Heading down," I tell him.

"Promise me you'll be careful," Carter says. "If you don't come back dad will kill me."

"I will Carter," I say. "I promise."

Carter hands me the gun that he usually carries. "You know how to use this. Only, for emergencies."

I take the gun and strapped it to my back. Where did Sadie Kane learn how to use a gun? Well, my dad never let me use one or be near one. Sometimes when he was away Carter and Amos would show me how to use one. My dad is really the only one that still treats me like a child. My uncle and my brother have both learned that I can handle myself.

"I know the rules Carter," I say.

"I know," Carter says. "This is the first time you've ever gone out without me. I'm just worried."

"She's going to be fine," Amos says. "The demons and the monsters are the ones who should be worried."

Carter looks at Amos and then back at me. Carter hugs me. "If you're not back in three days I'm coming to find you."

"Three days?" I ask.

"I know you don't want to keep looking at the same places," Carter says. "As long as you don't tell dad."

"Thanks Carter," I say. I hug him back.

"I'm ready," Andrew says.

"Great!" I say. I grab my belt with a couple of knives and put it around me. I hand Andrew a belt with knives and he puts it on.

Andrew and I were off. We headed out the door. I looked at the spot where I had 'died' the other day before we headed down the steps. We walk side by side in silence for a while. I occasionally looked at Andrew. He looked at the broken city like he did the day we found him. He didn't look like he had seen places like this before.

"Where are you from?" I ask him.

"New Orleans," He says.

"My uncle loved that city," I say. "He loved the Jazz music. He plays Jazz music on his saxophone sometimes."

"I love Jazz music," Andrew says. "Maybe I should be hanging out with Amos."

"If he finds out you like Jazz music, you'll instantly have a new best friend," I say.

Andrew laughs. We walk in silence a little bit more. I was tempted to ask him about the kiss the other day. We hadn't talked about it since we were both busy with other things. Now, I was alone with him. We stop when we get to rows of apartments. I walk up to the first one and open the door. Andrew had followed behind me. Andrew searched the main floor and I went upstairs. I open the first bedroom. It was painted pink. The room had a bed with a floral-patterned quilt. There was a white dresser that matched the bed frame. There were a couple of teddy bears on the bed. This must've been a little girl's room. I took one of the bears because I knew Shelby might like it. I move to the next room. It had a king size bed. This room looked more like an adult's room. I go over to the closet and see if there were clothes. There were some still hung. I grabbed some of the clothes. I'm sure someone at the house would find use for some of them. I finish searching the room and head down to meet Andrew. Andrew was in the living room.

"I found clothes and a teddy bear," I say.

"Teddy bear?" He asks confused.

"Shelby," I say. "She likes them. Well, she used to. Did you find anything?"

"Not really," Andrew says.

"Let's go to the next one," I say.

Andrew nods and we head to the next one. We continue the same process as we go from house to house. Andrew takes main floor and I go upstairs. We find a few things. Blankets, clothes, knives, and some other random supplies. We were on the fifth apartment when we decided to stay the night. It took us a lot of the day to walk to places that hadn't already been searched. Every few months my dad slowly lets us search different areas. I never had gone out long enough to stay the night. Andrew and I decided to take shelter on the second floor. He went down and made sure all the windows and doors were locked. We made sure to put plenty of blankets on the windows so no person, monster, or demon could see the light from our flashlights. We choose the bedroom at the end of the hall furthest from the stairs. It was the master bedroom. I had the gun next to the nightstand with a knife sitting on the end table. Andrew placed a knife on the nightstand on the other side. I sit on the bed next to Andrew.

"Andrew," I say. "We never talked about that kiss a couple days ago."

"I wanted to bring that up," Andrew says. "I was worried about how you'd respond."

"How'd you think I would respond?" I ask.

"That you would tell me that you did it because I saved you the day before," Andrew says.

"That's ridiculous," I say. "I did it because I like you."

Andrew smiles. "Really?" He asks. "You like me?"

"Yes," I say.

"I like you too," Andrew finally says. I smile and lean towards him and kiss him. I wanted to do that ever since the last time we kissed. I then lay down and Andrew lays next to me. "Sleep," He says. "I'll stay up for a while and keep watch."

"If you get tired just wake me up," I say to him.

Andrew lays with his back on the bed and an arm around me. I laid my head on his chest. I snuggled up next to him and fell asleep.

Anubis's POV

I lay on the bed staring at the ceiling. Sadie had fallen asleep. My side was warm with Sadie next to me. Sadie and I had grown closer since the day she had found me. I had feelings for her. I spend most of the time thinking about what would happen if she found out I was Anubis. My mind always wondered back to what she would think. Unlike her father, uncle, and brother, Sadie had no hope for the gods. She seemed to hate them. I wondered if they had something to do with the fact that her mother was dead. Her mother was Ruby Kane. I remember seeing Ruby in the hall of judgement. It right around the time Set and Apophis started taking over the world. Sadie would most likely hate me if I told her who I really was. I think about these thoughts of how Sadie would react until I fall asleep.
