Sadie's POV
I stood in the room with Walt, Zia, and Carter. Carter was trying to find a plan to find Anubis.
"How do you find a death god?" I ask.
"Well," Carter says. "First, we need to identify him. The only people who've seen Anubis are the magicians that he helped escape. We need to start by going to them and asking them if they know anything of what he looked like."
"Who's going on this mission?" Walt asks.
"Sadie, Jaz, Zia, me, you, and Andrew," Carter says. "Do you think Andrew could be helpful for us?" Carter looks at me.
"Yes," I say. "I think he could."
"Who's going to be in charge then?" Zia asks. "Amos and Julius are gone."
"Felix's parents," Carter says. "That's who Julius put in charge before Sadie and I were old enough."
"Is there a way to track him?" I ask.
"No," Carter says. "Not without his powers. Anput has the upper hand because she has jackals that she can control to hunt him down and track his scent."
"So, we will find him based on what magicians know?" I ask.
"Yes," Carter says. "I'm sure they got a good look at him."
"Will we be using portals to travel?" I ask.
"Yes," Carter says.
"What happens if we run into Anput?" Zia says.
"We hope for the best," I say.
"We will figure that out if that happens," Carter says. "We're going to hope it doesn't happen."
"So, the plan is to A) Go to the magicians that Anubis rescued and get a description of what he looks like. B) If he's alive we bring him back to the house and see what he knows and offer protection from Set. C) Try not to get caught by Anput in the process of any of the whole thing." Walt sums up.
"Pretty much," I say.
"Sadie, go tell Andrew and Jaz to prepare for a mission. We leave in the morning. I'll go explain to everyone else the plan. Zia, make sure Felix's parents have everything they need to keep the Brooklyn house running." Carter says.
Everyone splits up. I go straight to the infirmary which is where I knew I would find Jaz. "Hey Jazzy," I say.
"Hey Sades," Jaz says. "What's up?"
"Carter wants you to come on the mission with us. We leave tomorrow morning. Could you pack some healing potions and other medical supplies?" I tell her.
"Sure," Jaz says. "I'll get right on that."
"Thanks," I say. I head out and go up to the training room. Andrew was there. He was sitting on the bench looking out the window. I walk up behind him. He hadn't started training because he wasn't sweating. I walk up behind him and put my arms on his shoulders. He notices this right away and puts a hand over one of mine. "Thought you were going to train."
"I got distracted by my thoughts," Andrew says. I sit on the bench next to him but facing the other way so I could look at him.
"Carter wants you to come on the mission to find Anubis with us," I tell him.
"I don't think that's a good idea," Andrew says. "I'm still not very good at anything without powers."
"You'll be fine," I tell him. "Besides, I'll be there if you need help and you'll be there if I need help." I placed a hand on his leg just above his knee. "Please."
Andrew looks at me and smiles. "You won't stop begging me until I agree to go will you."
"Nope," I say.
"I'll go," Andrew agrees. I hug him.
"Let's go pack our stuff," I say. "I'll come tell you what you should pack."
"Clothes, weapons, blankets, water, food." Andrew says. "I got it."
"Okay," I say. "Come to my room when your done. You can stay the night again."
"Alright," Andrew says.
I kiss him quickly before getting up to head to my room. I shower and change into some shorts and a tank top. I start packing my bag. I put a few pairs of shorts, jeans, and shirts and other clothes into the bag. I put my weapons belt next to my backpack because I was going to put that on before we leave. I sit on my bed when I was finished. I waited for Andrew to come into my room. I was sitting in the middle of my bed with my legs crossed. I started looking through a photo album that my dad brought from our house in L.A. There were pictures of the Kanes. My mom had a picture the day she brought Carter home for the first time, the day she brought me home for the first time, a picture of Carter watching me in while I was sleeping when we were 2 and 4, and a lot of the usual childhood photos including the embarrassing ones.
"Hey Sadie," Andrew says. "What are you looking at?"
"Just an old photo album," I say tossing it over towards the couch. "Nothing exciting."
Andrew comes over and sits on the bed across from me. He stares into my eyes. I liked looking into his eyes. Andrew leans in and kisses me. I kiss him back. I put my arms around him and pull him towards me. Andrew moves so that he his above me and uses his hands for support. We continued to kiss and they start to become deeper. Andrew pulls way. I stared up at him. "We should probably get some sleep," Andrew says. "We need rest before the mission."
"You're starting to sound like Carter," I say. "He tells me the same thing."
"He's smart," Andrew says. He moves to lay next to me. He lay on his side towards me. I turn to face him. He places a hand the side of my waist.
I move closer to him and rest my head by his chest. I listened to his heart beating. He pulls a blanket over us and wraps his arms around me. I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.
Just want to comment. Guest2803, I actually do plan to have a god that lost their powers to run into them at some point. I won't say who it is. I'm sure he or she will show up in the next couple chapters.
