First, I'd like to thank again FantasyQueen. Your idea is really great. I had an idea that was similar so I'm going to merge your idea and my idea together. There's someone I want Anubis to run into so I'm going to find a way to put that person in the plot.
Anubis's POV
I wake up with my arms around Sadie. Her back was resting against my chest. One of her arms were under her pillow and the other rested next to mine. She was wearing a tank top and shorts. Sadie had let me stay the night with her. I leaned towards her and kissed her head. I move to get out of the bed. I throw on my jeans and t-shirt and go to walk out of the room.
"Andrew," Sadie says. I turn around before I get to the door.
"Hey," I say. "I didn't mean to wake you."
Sadie was sitting up now. I walk over and sit on the bed by her. "It's fine," She says. "I probably need to go find Carter for the vote." She gets up kisses me and then goes to her bathroom.
I get up and leave the room to let her get ready. I walk down the hall. "Hey Andrew," Walt calls. "Wait up."
I stop and wait for Walt to catch up. Once he does, we start walking. "Hey Walt," I say. "How's it going?"
"Good," Walt says. "Does Carter know that your sleeping with his sister?"
"I'm not sleeping with Sadie," I say. "I did sleep with her last night. I mean I stayed the night in her room. Nothing happened!"
"Andrew," Walt says. "Relax, I know what you meant."
"Does anyone else know?" I ask.
"No," Walt says. "I just saw you come out of her room. Are you trying to keep it a secret?"
"I don't know what we are," I tell him. "Sadie and I never really talked about it."
"Sadie doesn't like talking about her feelings," Walt says. "Sometimes you have to start the conversation."
"Thanks," I say. "I'll keep that in mind."
"See you at the meeting," Walt pats my shoulder and continues walking down the hall. He meets Jaz and kisses her.
I walk down to the great room where we were meeting. I sit on a chair and Zia spots me and walks up to me. She wore black jean shorts and a white t-shirt. She wore Carter's amulet around her neck.
"Hey Andrew," She says. "How are you?"
"Good," I say. "I think I'm finally getting used to the place and not having powers."
"I'm sure we can figure out how to get them back," Zia says.
"I'm fine never getting them back," I say.
Zia smiles. "You've done a lot without them. You saved Sadie's life. I know Carter is never going to forget that. Neither will Julius and Amos."
"I couldn't let her die that day," I say.
Everyone had gathered in the room. A couple of the older guys that were around Julius's age stood in the back. Carter and Sadie come down the stairs. They both wore black jeans, combat boots, and white tank tops. A couple of the boys made comments about Sadie which got Carter to glare at them.
"I'm sure you're wondering why you're here," Carter says. "We don't usually hold meetings without Julius and Amos."
"You two are not old enough to hold meetings," One of the older guys say.
"Actually John," Sadie says. "I'm eighteen and he's twenty-one. I think we know how to hold a fucking meeting."
"Anyway," Carter says. "As you all know four magicians were rescued by Anubis. Anubis had gotten his powers taken away after that. Set is looking for him. We are calling this meeting for a vote. Should we go find Anubis, he will be safe from Set, and he may know some information on how we can take down Set. If we don't then we leave him for Set to find."
"Why should we help a god?" John asks.
"That's why were voting genius," Sadie rolls her eyes. Sadie moves closer to Carter and talks to him. Carter nods.
"We'll give you guys a couple minutes to think about what you want to vote. When you know what you want to do write yes or no down on the paper that Zia is passing out." Carter says. "Sadie and I will count the votes and we will decide what to do next depending on the answer."
I take the paper from Zia and write down No. I didn't want them searching for me. I was a lot closer than they think. I get up and put my paper in the box on the table between Carter and Sadie. Sadie smiles at me and I wink at her, which causes her to smile and blush. Carter had his arms crossed and he looked between me and Sadie. He said nothing. I return back to my seat. Walt, Jaz, and Zia are next to cast their votes. A few more people cast their votes. Once everyone is done Sadie takes the box and her and Carter walk into the library. I was nervous. I didn't want them to search for me because then the truth would have to come out. I don't know how to tell Sadie or how long I could keep it from her. Not to mention that I'm in love with her.
After thirty minutes, Carter and Sadie come back out of the room. "A majority of the votes said yes." People start talking. "Zia, Walt, and I will come up with a plan and we will present it later today."
Walt and Zia follow Carter to the office. Sadie and I walked up the stairs and down the hall the rooms were on. "Guess were looking for Anubis."
"Sadie," I say. "I need to tell you something."
"I need to tell you something too," She says.
"You go first," I say. I wanted to hear what she had to say before I tell her who I am.
"I love you," She says.
I stop. "You love me?" I ask.
Sadie starts freaking out. "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have said that. I know we haven't known each other for long. You probably don't have the same feelings and I'm just stupid."
I kiss her to calm her down. "Sadie," I say keeping a hand on her cheek. "You're not stupid. I love you too."
Sadie smiles and kisses me again. We pull apart and puts her arms around my neck and rests her head on my chest. I put my arms around her waist and kiss her head before resting mine on top of hers. How could I tell her that I was Anubis now? I was way too deep in the secret now.
"Sadie," Jaz says. "Your brother wants you to join them in coming up with a plan."
"Alright," Sadie says. "I'll be right there."
Jaz walks off. Sadie pulls away but keeps her arms around my neck. "Go," I say. "I'm going to go practice and train."
"I'll see you later," Sadie says. Sadie leans up to kiss me. She steps back and walks off to go meet Carter, Zia, and Walt. I decide to go train. I needed to take my mind off of things. I needed to figure out how to tell Sadie.
Thanks for reading this chapter. I think I have a plan for the story. This is going to get interesting!
