Anubis's POV

Anput takes me to Set's office. I sit down in a chair and wait for him to come in. The office had red walls with the same dark hardwood floors as most of the house. The dark brown desk was in the middle of the room with some bookshelves behind it. A chair that matched the desk was behind it.

"Anubis," Set says closing the office door behind him.

"What do you want? Father," I say.

"You don't sound pleased to be here," Set says. "Though, Anput told me we interrupted things with you and Sadie."

"Is there a point to this meeting?" I ask not wanting to talk about Sadie with Set.

"Giving you your powers back," Set says.

"You wouldn't," I say.

"I would," Set says. "On one condition."

"I'm not killing anyone for you," I tell him.

"You won't have to kill anyone," Set says. "I want you to tell me the location of the Kanes base."

"No," I say. "I won't give up the location or any information about the Kanes. Sadie would lose the trust that I worked hard to get back from her."

"You really are going to keep the Kanes protected instead of getting you powers back?" Set asks. "You are weak son. Risking your powers and immortality for some mortals."

"Some mortals that are a threat to you," I tell him. "You want the Kanes gone. I think that the Kanes are going to be your downfall. I will help them in any way possible to take you down. I don't care if I never get my powers back."

"You're making a mistake, son," Set says. "You'll realize that eventually."

Set gets up and leaves. Anput comes in and we walk back to the room. I step into the room. Anput shuts the door behind me. I look for Sadie. She wasn't in the room. I lay down on one of the beds and stare up at the ceiling. After a couple of minutes, I hear a door open. "Oh hey," Sadie says. "I didn't know you were back."

I look over at Sadie. Sadie had a towel wrapped around her. I immediately looked away. "Yeah, I'm sorry, I should have told you I got back."

I hear Sadie's footsteps and sounds of her rummaging through her backpack. I focused on the ceiling. "I could have taken my clothes with me the first time," She comments. "I'll be right back." I hear footsteps again and the sound of the bathroom door shutting. I look over. She went back into the bathroom.

I sit up and lean against the head of the bed. I stretched my legs out and placed my hands in my lap waiting for her to return. A couple seconds later, Sadie comes out. She wore some grey cloth shorts with a white tank top. She walks over and sits on the end of the bed by my feet. She pulls one of her legs up under her and let's her other leg hang down off the edge of the bed.

"At least they gave us showers," Sadie says. "Very luxurious for being hostages."

"Yeah," I say. "He doesn't do this for most of his prisoners and hostages. Just because he wants Julius to turn himself in is most likely the only reason that he's treating us nicely."

"What did he want to talk to you about? Set?" She asks.

"He wanted to offer a way for me to get my powers back," I tell her.

"That's great!" She says.

"Not really," I say. "He wanted me to give him the location of your home."

"Oh," Sadie says. "Did you?"

"Absolutely not Sadie," I say. "I wouldn't do that to you or your family. You guys took me in when I really needed it."

"Yeah," Sadie says. "But your powers, you've had those for centuries. You've known me and everyone at the house for weeks."

"Sadie," I say. "For years, I have lived with Set telling me what to do my whole life. I'm not going to let him run my life any longer. Even if it means losing my powers for good. Besides, you and everyone at the house acted more like my family than Set ever did."

"I'm starting to understand why you hid your identity from us," Sadie says. "You have an evil father and a crazy ex-wife."

"I wanted to start a new life as Andrew," I tell her.

"You can start a new life with me," Sadie says. "When we get out of here."

"I'd like that," I say.

Sadie smiles and crawls up beside me. She lays with her upper body on my chest. Her legs rested beside mine. She puts her lips to mine. I put my arms around her and turn us so she was on the bed and I held myself up with my hands and continued to kiss her. She pulls me down closer to her. Sadie moves her hands to my hair. Sadie and I continue to kiss. I move one of my hands to hold her waist. I pull away and start kissing her jaw and her neck before moving back to her lips. Sadie and I spent another couple minute before she pulls away. I move off of her and lay down beside her. We both lay there staring at the ceiling listening to each other's breathing. I feel Sadie place her hand on mine. She turns so that she laid on her side facing me. I turn to face her.

"If Carter knew about some of these make out sessions," Sadie says. "He'd probably kill me."

"He'd probably kill me actually," I say. "I'm not sure if he quite trusts me anymore."

"He trusts you," Sadie tells me. "You saved my life, he's never going to forget that, he was just trying to be an older brother."

"He's a good brother," I tell him. "The closest thing I have to a brother is Horus. He's my cousin and we rarely talk to each other. We don't exactly get along."

"Why?" Sadie asks.

"It could be because he is a warrior and I am not," I say. "I've never been a fighter like he is."

"Is he really a warrior though?" Sadie asks.

"What do you mean?" I ask.

"Horus has been in hiding as long as I can remember," Sadie says. "You, on the other hand, have been releasing magicians from Set's prisons. You risked everything, your powers, your immortality, just to save some magicians you didn't know. Horus, has been in hiding the whole time. If anyone is a fighter, it's you, Anubis."

We were now both sitting up with our legs crossed facing each other. "Is this supposed to be some kind of pep talk?" I ask.

"That's just my opinion," Sadie says. "Most of the gods that didn't agree with Set were either killed, went into hiding, or got their powers stolen like you and Thoth. Instead of any of those happening to you. You were willing to work against him when no one else would."

"You make some good points there Kane," I tell her.

"Don't fucking call me Kane," She says. "Jackal boy."

"Jackal boy?" I say. "Still using that name."

"At first," She says. "It was because of that tattoo." She runs her finger along my shoulder where the tattoo was. I had a t-shirt, but I could feel the burn of my skin where her finger ran. "I guess it's more accurate now. That's like your animal. The jackal."

"Yes," I say. "If I had my powers, I could turn into a jackal."

Sadie smiles. "That makes so much sense now."

"What?" I ask.

"Well," She says. "You'd tilt your had to the side if you were confused or curious."

"I don't do that," I say.

Sadie laughs. "You just did." I move my head back to a normal position. I hadn't really noticed that I did that. "It's cute though."

I lean forward and kiss Sadie. She kisses me back. Sadie and I spend the rest of the day talking. I loved spending time with her. Sadie loves me and I love her.

I actually didn't have a problem writing this chapter. I did have some trouble writing it, but that's because I'm trying to make the story more T rated and less K+. I think my writers block is gone. Thanks for the two of you that commented about that. I appreciate you guys! Also, I'm pretty sure I know where I want the story to go.
