Anubis's POV
The feeling of my powers being back was overwhelming. When my powers were taken away, I felt weak, tired, exhausted. Getting them, I had energy, I could feel the power flowing through my body, and I also felt stronger. I was also very angry with Set. I made it very clear, I didn't want my powers back. For a reason. 1. Probably because Anput wanted him to so she could prove I was mean to be with her and not Sadie. 2. Because Set knew I had feelings for Sadie and he knew this would cause conflict. What Set didn't realize, is that I had my powers back. Sadie was sitting on her knees beside me. Everyone else remained in their seats. I had to do something to save them. All of them. I summon mummy wrappings to wrap around trapping Set, Anput, and all of the guards in the house.
"You guys need to go," I say. "I can't hold them off long. It's going to take a while for me to get used to my powers again." I managed to stand up. Everyone gets up and heads towards the door. Except for Sadie. "Sadie, you need to go."
"I won't leave you," Sadie protested.
"You have too," I say. "I'll catch up. I promise."
Sadie kisses me. I kiss her back quickly. "Try not to die, jackal boy."
Sadie runs off with the others. I summon a couple of jackal warriors. I order them to attack the guards. I trap Anput and Set into chairs and tie them up with the mummy wrappings. Set was smiling.
"You think I didn't see this coming son?" He asks.
"I'm assuming you did," I say. "Nothing you do surprises me anymore."
The jackals finished taking care of the guards. They stand on either side of me growling at Set. Anput controls the wrappings to release her. She had just about the same powers as I did. She releases Set. Anput grabs me by the neck and slams me against the wall. She kept her hand on my neck.
"Jackal boy," She says. "I told you that we were meant to be together. You can stop this now. Join our side, let us kill the Kanes. We can rule the world together."
"No," I say. "I don't want to rule the world. Especially not with you."
"Lock him up," Set says. "We got some people to kill."
Anput drags me to the basement. I was unable to move because she had mummy wrappings me. Having had just got my powers back I wasn't able to manipulate her wrappings like she was able to manipulate mine.
"Anput," I say. "Don't do this."
"Anubis," She says. "I gave you a chance to forgive me. You're clearly not going to. Now if you excuse me, I have to go kill your girlfriend."
"Anput, please," I say. "Don't do this. I love her."
"I know you do," Anput says. "That's why I have to do this."
"I will hate you forever if you kill her," I say. "I'll never regain my trust for you."
"You were never going to trust me Anubis," She says.
"Anput!" I shout. "If you hurt her, I'll kill you!"
Anput ignores my comment and heads up the stairs. I waited a few minutes until I feel the energy running through my body. I assumed it was going to be on and off with my powers until I got use to them again. I grab the bars with my hands and they turn into ashes. I walk up the steps and break the door down. I head out of the house. Set was fighting Julius. I didn't see Anput. I did see Sadie. She was fighting with Carter by her side. 'She's safe,' I say to myself. 'Carter wouldn't let anything happen to her.'
I summon some jackal warriors and send them to attack the demons. I start fighting guards. I use some of the moves Sadie taught me and using my powers. I was starting to get better at using my powers.
"Sadie!" Carter shouts.
I stop what I was doing. Sadie was laying on the ground with her arms propping her up. She was backing away from Anput. Anput walks towards her and Sadie moves her leg to trip her. Anput falls to the ground angered. Sadie stands up and Anput holds out her hand wrapping mummy wraps around Sadie's neck. Sadie brings her hands up trying to pry them off. I manage to get the mummy wrappings to fall to the ground. Sadie falls to her knees gasping for air. Carter and I look at each other not sure if we should go over to her. Anput was standing up now and she walks towards Sadie. Sadie looks up at her. Anput kicks her in the shoulder and Sadie falls backwards.
"Time to get rid of you once and for all," Anput says.
"I wouldn't say that," Sadie says.
Sadie manages to stand up. She grabs her staff that she dropped and swings it at Anput and it hits her in the head. She ends up falling down. She uses her hands to push herself up. Sadie throws the staff down and pulls out a knife from her boot. She holds the knife up and shoves it through Anput stomach. Jackal warriors start running towards Sadie to kill her. I stand in front of them and hold out my hand. I made sure they were under my control and order them to fight the demons. I turn around and look at Sadie. She pulled a knife out of Anput's lifeless body. Sadie stand up and throws the knife on the ground. Carter and I were both looking at her in shock. Neither of us knew that Sadie was going to win that fight. Sadie looks at us.
"Sorry boys," She says. "I had to kill the bitch. She was getting on my fucking nerves."
Sadie's deep blue eyes were filled with a fiery rage. She had some cuts on her face. Some of her hair clung to her face from sweat and blood. She placed her hand on her shoulder which was probably still in pain from Anput slamming her foot into it. Sadie was a mess but she was still the most beautiful girl I ever saw.
"Julius!" Amos shouts. "NO!"
We all look over and see Set drive a sword through Julius's heart. Sadie screams and goes to run over to him. Carter wraps his arm around her and pulls her into him. She was screaming and trying to get free. Everyone, both demons, guards, and magicians all stopped what they were doing and watched Set. Sadie eventually gives in to her brother and was hugging him. He had a hand running through her hair and he was trying to comfort her. I never seen Sadie like this. It made me angry. I summon more jackals and send them all towards Set. Set forces them to stop.
Amos was at his brother's side checking to see if there was a chance, he was still alive. I knew that he was gone. I wrap Set up with the wrappings and pull them tight. He was struggling. Without Anput, he couldn't control the wrappings. I walk up to him with the same knife that Sadie had used to kill Anput.
"What are you going to do son?" Set laughs. "Kill me."
"You went after Anput because I loved her. You gave me back my powers because you didn't want me to be happy with Sadie. I hate you Set. I always did. I always will." I say.
I drive the knife through his chest. He seemed shocked. I watch the life go out of his eyes. I leave the knife in his body. All the demons turned to piles of ashes. The guards all dropped their weapons and put their hands up. I look over at Sadie who was still crying in her brother's arms. Amos had gone over to them and put his arms around both of the siblings. Zia had her hand placed on Carter's shoulder. She kept her distance from them not wanting to be in the way of the mess. I walk over to them. I put my hand on Sadie's shoulder. She moves from Carter over to me and wraps her arms around my neck. I let her hold onto me. I put my arms around her protectively. I let her cry into my chest. I hold her until she was calmed down. Set and Anput were dead. We still had a problem at hand. Apophis was still alive. I'm sure that this was not the end.
I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Let me know if you enjoyed the chapter! I know, you guys are probably disappointed that Julius is dead. I don't like killing off characters. Let's just say, a good share of my favorite characters, are dead. Sadie is one of the occasions where my fave lives. Probably because your girl is dating Walt/Anubis and let's be real. Those boys don't mess around if her life is on the line. Even though I ship Sanubis and I ship Walt with Jaz. Sorry, I make too many comments.
