I'm glad you guys are liking how this story is going.

Sadie's POV

I wake up with an arm around my waist. Anubis. I turn with his arm around me. I looked up at his face. His eyes were closed and he was asleep. My eyes wondered from his face down to his chest. He hadn't worn a shirt to sleep. Anubis moves to lay on his back. He remained asleep. I put my hand on his stomach. I move my thumb in circles over his skin. I do this for a couple minutes before he wakes up.

"Moring jackal boy," I say.

He rolls on his side to face me. I move my hand to my side. "Morning," He smiles at me.

Anubis and I both move to sit up. Anubis leaned against the headboard. I get up and walk over to the bathroom to change. I change into some jeans and a black t-shirt. I finish getting ready and walk back out of the room. Anubis was standing up and wearing jeans now and pulling a shirt over his head. He notices me back in the room and walks over to me. I put my arms around his neck and lean up to kiss him. Since he was taller than me, I had to stand on my toes to reach his lips.

"I should have Set put you two in separate rooms if you're going to be kissing every time I walk in," Anput says. Anubis and I pull away startled. I hadn't heard her come in. From how Anubis looked, he hadn't heard her either.

"What the hell do you want Anput?" I ask.

"Set wants to talk to Sadie," Anput says.

"Not going to happen," Anubis says.

"I don't think it's your choice Anubis," Anput says.

"I'm not going to let Set talk to her alone," Anubis says.

"Anubis," I put a hand on his arm. "I'll go. I'm sure I'll be fine."

"Sadie," Anubis says. "Be careful."

I move my hand from his arm to his cheek. "I'll be back."

Anubis puts a hand on the wrist of my hand that was on his cheek. We stay like that for a second before I go with Anput. I could feel Anubis's eyes on me until Anput shut the door.

"I can't believe he likes you," Anput says. "You're a mortal."

"So is he," I say. "Set took his powers. If anything, you can blame Set for taking his powers and throwing him through a portal for me to find."

Anput and I had walked down the hall, down the steps, and to Set's office. "I should kill you."

"You could," I say. "I'm not stopping you. Set doesn't want me dead though. That's why you haven't tried yet."

Anput gets mad and leaves me alone in Set's office. I sit in a chair alone until the doors open. Set walks in. Set wore a black suit with a red button up shirt underneath. His hair was black, like Anubis's, and his eyes were red.

"Sadie," He says as he walks around and sits in his chair at his desk. "I'm glad to finally have a conversation with you."

"The feeling is not mutual," I say to him. "What do you want?"

"I just sent out a message to Julius, your father." Set says. "He has four days to come and turn himself in if he ever wants to see his children alive again."

"He's not going to come without a fight," I tell him.

"You think I didn't think about that. I told him to come alone," Set says. "This conversation is not why I had you brought down here though."

"Is it about Anubis?" I ask.

"I'm impressed," Set says. "Anubis, is usually never in a good mood. He also has never had any attachments to mortals in the past. I assumed he'd be dead within the first day he was powerless. How did you come across him?"

"Carter and I were out on a mission," I say. "I heard a demon and once I get to the ally, I see someone about to be killed by the demon. I kill it. Turns out that someone was Anubis. We took him in."

"What is special about you?" Set asks. "Anubis is fascinated with you and is willing to never get his powers back to be with you."

"I don't know what he sees in me," I say. "Maybe you should have asked him when you talked to him yesterday."

Set smiles. "You are just full of sarcastic and sassy comments."

"Everyone tells me that," I say.

"That could be why Anubis likes you. The fact that you're very pretty is most likely another factor." Set says studying me. I crossed my arms over my chest feeling uncomfortable with Set looking at me.

"You know," I say. "Anubis might be fascinated with me because I was the first person who's been nice to him in years. He had you, who bosses him around like he's your servant. A crazy ex wife who thinks they are still together even though he has no interest in him. I'm sure he was shocked that someone was nice to him."

"You didn't know who he was until a few days ago," Set says. "If you knew who he was, would you have treated him the same."

"Honestly," I say. "I probably would've. He needed help. He had no powers, he was helpless, he needed help."

"I see," Set says. "I'm just trying to gather information."

"Information of what?" I ask.

"That is for another day," Set says. "Anput will take you back to your room."

Set gets up and leaves. Anput comes in and grabs my arm and takes me up the stairs. She opens the door to the room and shoves me in and slams the door. Anubis was sitting on the bed. It was made now. He must've done that when I was gone.

"She really hates me," I tell him.

"She's jealous," Anubis says.

"I don't blame her," I say. "Her drop dead gorgeous death god husband left her. I'd be jealous too."

"Did you just call me drop dead gorgeous?" Anubis asks. Anubis crosses his arms and looks at me.

"Don't look at me like that," I cross my arms. "Yes, do you have a problem with that?"

"No," Anubis walks up to me. He places his hands on each of my arms. "Not at all."

Anubis leans in and kisses me. I kiss him back. I pull away. "I love you."

"I love you too," He pulls me into a hug. He wraps his arms around my shoulders. I put my arms around his waist. "We're going to get out of this mess. I promise."

Hope you enjoy another Sanubis chapter. A couple upcoming chapters might be in other peoples POV and not Anubis and Sadie. I think one with Carter, one with Walt, and there will be some with Julius and Amos. Let me know if there's someone's POV you want to read and maybe I can fit it in.
