Anubis's POV

We were currently looking through a neighborhood that had the same style apartments on each side of the streets. There were trees placed evenly covering most of the street. I followed Sadie into one of the apartments. I let Sadie go upstairs and I search the downstairs. The kitchen, bathroom, living room, office, basement. There were no signs of anyone had been living here. Sadie meets me in the living room and we repeat the search for the next three. I meet Sadie in the living room. I sat on the couch to take a break. She sits down next to me.

"Find anything?" She looks at me with her blue eyes.

"No," I say. "How about you?"

"No, nothing." Sadie sighs and lays down with her head in my lap. I run my fingers through her hair. "It doesn't make sense," Sadie says. "Set takes away his powers and throws him through a portal, then, Anput and some of Set's people are looking for him."

"Set is probably just trying to make sure he's dead." I say.

"Set should be father of the year," Sadie says. "I'd hate to have him as a father."

"I would too," I say. Except he was my father.

Sadie stands up. "Let's go see if the others found something useful."

"Okay," I say getting up and following her out of the door.

Carter was sitting on the steps of one of the apartments. Zia sat a couple steps below him and they were talking. Jaz and Walt must still be searching. Sadie walks over and sits next to her brother.

"Did you guys find anything?" She asks.

"No," Zia says.

"We found something!" Jaz says walking out of one of the buildings and over to us. She holds out a pair of rings connected to a chain.

It was the rings that Anput and I had after we were married. They were gold with hieroglyphics of our names carved in them. Mine had Anput's name and hers had mine. We used to love each other before I realized how insane she actually was.

"You found rings," Sadie says. She takes the rings and looks at them. "This one says Anubis and the other one says Anput."

"Wedding rings?" Carter suggests.

"Could we use these to track him?" Sadie asks. "There has to be a tracking spell."

"I'm not sure that would work even if I knew one," Carter says. "We don't know who had these last Anubis or Anput."

Anput did. I took mine off and gave it to her the last time I saw her 500 years ago. She must've left them for me to find.

"Where did you find them?" Carter asks.

"It was in the room on the made bed with a note. It's to Anubis." Walt says handing the note to Sadie.

Sadie takes it and reads it. "Anubis, I know you are still alive. I will find you. I can't wait to see you again. Until then, a gift to remember our love." Sadie passes the note to Zia. "She sounds like she loves him."

"Why does she have both of the rings?" Walt asks.

"I don't know Walt," Sadie says. "Let me just go ask a death god about his love life."

Walt ignored Sadie's sarcastic comments. "Maybe they had some problems." Walt says.

"Let's move on down the street," Carter says. "Maybe we can find another clue. Anput had to leave that there for a reason."

"The place Andrew and I saw her at is only a couple blocks away," Sadie says. "Maybe she had some leads on him. Maybe that means he's around the area."

"Sadie has a good point," Carter says. "Let's search the next few blocks around the area. Maybe we can find something."

We move down the next few blocks. We spent a few more hours searching houses and trying to find clues. I knew we weren't going to find anything because I was who we are looking for. Sadie was starting to get into the search even though she was against it.

"You seem really into this search now," I say to her.

"Yeah," She says. "I've thought about it a lot. If we find Anubis and he can help us get to Set's base and we can take down Set. Maybe we can save whatever is left of the world."

"I know you can," I say.

"We can," Sadie says. "You're in this too."

I smile. "I'm with you no matter what," I say. "I love you."

Sadie comes over to me and kisses me. We were standing outside of the apartment we had finished searching. I hear slow clapping which stops us. I turn and I was frozen. A girl with long brown hair and dark gold eyes. She wore a white button up t-shirt that was unbuttoned a little over halfway revealing a golden bra underneath. Her shirt was tucked into some short jeans shorts and she wore some combat boots. Her amulet hung around her neck. It was Anput.

Carter, Walt, Jaz, and Zia were all caught by a guard. One guard comes up to grab Sadie but I put my arm in front of her protecting her from them. They stop.

"Come on Anubis," Anput says. "We can do this the easy way or the hard way."

"Anubis," Sadie says. "His name is Andrew."

Anput laughs. "How cute?" Anput says. "You really think that Andrew is a magician that lost his powers. Think about it. Andrew showed up the same day Anubis lost his powers, Andrew has a jackal tattoo on his should to symbolize Anubis, I'm sure you noticed how similar Andrew is to Anubis."

"Who the hell are you then?" Sadie asks the girl.

"Sweetie," She says. "I'm Anput. His wife."

I turn to Sadie. "Sadie, I can explain."

Sadie looked like her world had just shattered. "Is she telling the truth, Andrew. Are you really Anubis?"

"Yes," I say. "I wanted to tell you, I did."

Sadie's eyes went from shocked/sad to angry. "How could you? Why would you?"

The guards grab her and take her over with the others before I could respond. A couple of them grab me. I looked at Sadie. She was avoiding my eyes. Anput crosses her arms. She walks over to Sadie. Sadie looks up at her.

"Sadie," Anput says. "As in Sadie Kane. Daughter of Ruby and Julius Kane."

"Why do you care?" Sadie asks.

"A. Set has been trying to find the Kanes for years. B. you tried to steal my husband from me." Anput says.

"I didn't try to steal your husband," Sadie says. "I didn't even know you existed."

Anput was mad. She grabs Sadie by the shoulder and throws her to the ground. Sadie uses her hands to stop herself from falling onto the ground. She quick got up and pulled out a knife from her weapons belt. Sadie wasn't going to go down without a fight. Anput snapped her fingers and three jackals surrounded Sadie. "I'd drop the knife before they eat you alive." She says.

Sadie drops the knife and puts her hands up. Anput walks up to her. "Nice try Kane." Anput says. Once the guards have Sadie the jackals back down. Anput walks over to me. She kisses me. I tried to pull away but the guards were holding onto me. "I've missed you, jackal boy."

Anput backs away. "Let's go," She says. "Bring them. All of them."

I look at Sadie. She was looking at the ground. I felt a burning pain in my chest looking at her. Sadie couldn't look me in the eyes. I had failed her.

In the next few chapters will be interesting. I'll give you a few comments about the upcoming chapters. We will see how Sadie deals with being mad at Anubis, Anput and Sadie are going to have some fights and arguments, Anput wants revenge from Anubis leaving her. Let me know if you're excited for the upcoming chapters.
