Anubis's POV

"Anubis, I have a question," Sadie says. I was leaning against the headboard of the bed. Sadie sat in between my legs with her back resting against my stomach and her head on my chest. I had my arms around her stomach and rested her hands over mine.

"What is it?" I ask her running one of my hands through her long caramel blonde hair.

"What happened between you and Anput?" She asks. "What made you break up with her?"

"Anput cheated on me," I tell her. "That's why I ended things with her."

"You didn't even try to work it out?" She asks.

"Maybe I would have," I say to her. "If it wasn't for who she cheated on me with."

"Who was it?" She asks.

"I think instead of answering that questions I should just tell you the story," I say.

** The Story (Anubis is telling the story) **

Around 500 years ago. I was finished with my jobs in the hall of judgement for the day. I hadn't seen Anput in a few weeks because she's been busy doing other things. I head down to the room, that Anput and I share, it was like an apartment of sorts. I opened the door and she wasn't there. I was disappointed. I did not no where she was or where to find her. I sat on the bed. I noticed that something was off about the room. Most of the jewels that Anput had collected over the years were missing.

I got up and wondered out in the hallway. I stopped when I found one of the servants. "Have you seen my wife?" I asked her.

"No Lord Anubis," She said. "I haven't seen Lady Anput all day. Would you like me to give her a message if I see her?"

"Tell her I'm looking for her please," I said to her.

"Okay," She said. She bowed.

"I told you that you don't have to bow for me," I reminded her. I never liked bossing the servants around. Anput on the other hand loved it.

"Yes, Lord Anubis," She said. "I'm sorry."

The servant walked away. I continued searching the halls and asking any of the servants that I came across. I eventually found one of her servants that she usually had nearby her at all times. "Have you seen Anput?" I asked.

She looked at me and looked down. "I'm not supposed to tell you," She said. "I don't want her to kill me."

"I won't let that happen," I assured her. "I just need to know where she is."

"She's with Set," She said. "She's been seeing him for weeks."

I was shocked. "Thank you," I said to her trying to stay calm. "You're dismissed. You can go to your living quarters."

"Thank you, Lord Anubis." She smiled before walking off.

I walked back to my room. Why were her jewels gone? Was she planning to run away with Set? Anput knew how much I hated my father. Why would she betray me so much? I wanted to kill her for that. I wanted to kill him for that. After hours of waiting for Anput, she finally came into the room.

"Where have you been?" I asked.

"I was dealing with a couple of things," Anput responded.

"A couple of things," I said. "Having an affair with my father."

"How do you know about that?" Anput asked.

"I got one of the servants to tell me," I said. "Don't try going to kill her. I'm getting her reassigned and if you kill her, I'll kill you."

"Anubis," Anput said. "It's not what it seems like."

"It seems like I'm not enough for you so your sleeping with my father." I crossed my arms.

"Its not that," She said to me. "You've been busy and I love him."

"If you love him so much," I said. "Marry him. We're done. I want your stuff out of here by tomorrow night." I took my ring of and threw it onto the bed. I stormed off to go anywhere but where Anput was.

The next day I go back to the room. Anput had most of her things being carried out of the room by servants. "Anubis," She said. "You don't have to do this."

"Yes, Anput," I said. "I do. My father has been out to get me for most of my life. You know that. Why would you do this to me?"

"I wasn't thinking," Anput said.

"You weren't thinking," I said. "Remember that when you try to apologize to me. I'm never going to forgive you what you've done. Never."

"You're going to regret this Anubis," Anput said.

"No," I said. "You are going to regret this."

I turned around and walked away. That was the last time I ever saw her until recently.

**End of Story**

"What a fucking bitch," Sadie says. "I was starting to feel bad for her for you not being interested. She makes it seem that she loves you. If she loved you, she wouldn't have done that, and with Set of all fucking people."

"You see why I'm still mad?" I say. "If it was anyone else, I probably would have been able to forgive her. Set, has always been destined to destroy me."

"That's just horrible," Sadie says. I started running my hands through her hair to calm her down. Sadie was just about as mad as I was about the whole situation. "She cheated on you with your father. I can't imagine what you went through."

"Anput tries to make everyone think she's the victim. Anput was never as popular as I am in Egyptian mythology. Anput is willing to do anything to get power and get people to know who she is." I explain to her. "Why do you think she's working for Set now? She doesn't love him. She just wants the fame from working with him."

"I'm sure that made you trust people really well," Sadie says.

"I haven't trusted anyone in 500 years. That's probably why I hesitated when I never told you and the others who I was. I didn't know if I could trust anyone." I tell her.

"That make sense," Sadie says. "Now I feel bad for being mad at you."

"You shouldn't be," I say. "I messed up. I broke your trust."

"I trust you," Sadie tells me. She gets up and turns around. She sits on her knees facing me. I kept my legs where they were. She was still sitting in between them.

"I trust you, Sadie," I say. "I know that you wouldn't do something like that."

"I wouldn't," Sadie says. "First of all, because your father is ugly and I don't know where you get your looks from because it sure the hell isn't him. Second of all, I never expected to love a god. My dad is going to be mad enough, I don't need to be in love with another one. Lastly, I love you. I can't imagine being with anyone else but you. Anubis."

I pull her into a hug. "I love you too Sadie," I say. "I'm willing to give up my life as a god, as long as I can spend the rest of my life with you."

Sadie and I lay there in each other's arms. I love her. She loves me. That's all I needed.

I don't know if anyone saw that coming. I felt like that was a good way to put it. Anput needed some background on why she's working with Set. Some of you were probably wondering what happened. This story will come back to get Anput eventually. You'll see later. I have a plan.
