I know I usually switch between Sadie and Anubis but this chapter I feel like needs to be the point of view in this chapter.

Sadie's POV

I was dressed in a plan black dress with spaghetti straps. I reached behind me and zipped the back up. I never really wore dresses. When I was younger, my dad would always bring one home. I was always really excited, until I turned twelve. I started wearing jeans and t-shirts. The dress I put on my dad had found and gave it to me for my sixteenth birthday. It stayed in my closet until today. I thought it would make me feel closer to my father. I also wore a locket that used to belong to my mother.

Someone knocks on my bedroom door. "Sadie," Carter says. "Can I come in?" I walk over and open the door. Carter was dressed in black jeans and a black t-shirt. We rarely had fancy clothes because of the world being destroyed and all. "Are you ready?" He asks.

"No," I say.

Carter pulls me into a hug. I put my arms around him. I'm sure Carter was just as upset as I was. He was just trying to hide it because he was my older brother, he wanted to be there for me. After a minute of hugging he pulls away. We walk down together. They had set the funeral up in the library. Once Carter and I get there, we walk up to the body that was wrapped up. Anubis had taken care of everything with his body. He was a death and a funeral god so he offered to make sure that everything that was needed was done. I take a deep breath before looking at the body. We couldn't see him due to the fact that he'd been wrapped up. I still couldn't accept the fact that he was gone. I felt tears starting to form in my eyes. My limbs felt weak. I feel a pair of arms wrap around me from behind. I knew it was Anubis. I knew how his arms felt around me. I turn in his arms and rest my head on his chest. Carter placed his hand on my back.

After a couple minutes, they walk me to the chair. Anubis sat on one side of me and Carter on the other. Once everyone has gathered Amos stands at the front. "Today, we say goodbye to a good man. Julius Kane. We all knew Julius well over the past 12 years. Julius was a great leader, a loving father, and a good brother. Julius will be remembered by all of us and in his two children." Amos pauses and looks over and Carter and I. "We will miss him every day. His death was not for nothing. Set and Anput have been killed." People start cheering. "However, Apophis is still out there. Defeating him will not be easy, but we will not go down without a fight. We will avenge the ones we have lost over the years including Julius."

Amos finished his speech and sat down. It was Carter's turn. He took a deep breath and squeezes my hand before getting up. "My father did a lot for Sadie and I. We were only six and eight years old when Set and Apophis killed our mother. My father, did not take time to grieve when she died because he had to keep Sadie and I safe. He was a smart, selfless, and brave person. I am honored to be his son. I will never forget what he did for us." Carter sits down. Zia sat in a chair behind him and placed a hand on his shoulder.

It was my turn. I get up and stand in front where Amos and Carter had stood. I close my eyes and open them again. "My father," I stop. I look through the room. Everyone was watching me. "I'm sorry."

Anubis gets up and stands beside me. I take his hand. "You don't have to do this," He whispers. "They'll understand."

"No," I say. "I can do it." I take a couple deep breaths before speaking. "My father had a lot to deal with over the years. Having lost my mother when I was six-years-old, I didn't have a mother to raise me and teach me things that I needed to learn. My father stepped in and taught me everything and told me what I needed to be learn. Even if he wasn't comfortable with it. I miss him."

Anubis pulls me in and wraps his arms around me. I stand there a minute before going to sit down and try to calm down. We continue going through with people saying things about my dad. Once we finish Anubis, Amos, and Carter take care of the body. I head upstairs. I sit on the couch and pull my knees up to my chest. I rest my head on my knees and stare at the wall for what felt like hours.

"Sadie," Anubis says kneeling down in front of me to meet my eyes.

I shift in my seat so that my back was against the back of the couch and my feet were on the floor. Anubis places a hand on my knee. "I'm sorry," I say. "I'm having a hard time dealing with the fact that he's gone."

"It's going to be hard," Anubis says. "He's your father and he's been there your whole life. Now that he's gone you don't know what to do. You have your uncle Amos, your brother Carter, and me."

"You have powers now," I say. "Isn't that going to complicate things."

"It will," Anubis says. "I'm not going anywhere Sadie. I love you."

"Thank you," I say. "For helping with his funeral. You didn't have to."

"My father killed him," Anubis says. "It's the least I could do to apologize for that."

"You don't have to apologize," I say. "You can't be held accountable for your father's actions. At least he's out of your life. Him and Anput."

"Yeah," Anubis says. "I'm glad, they've controlled my life for years. Now I can control my own." Anubis gets up and sits beside me. He kept his hand on my knee. "Can I get you anything?"

"No," I say. "Well, there is one thing you can do."

"What is that?" He asks.

"Stay here," I say.

"Okay," He says.

I lay down and place my head in his lap. He places a hand on my side and a hand on my head to mess with my hair. We stayed that way in silence. I listened to his breathing. I closed my eyes. I eventually drift off to sleep.

I woke up. I wasn't on the couch where I had fallen asleep at. I was on the bed. Anubis was gone. I got up and changed into some jeans and a tank top. I walk out of my room. I wondered down to the main floor and outside the office door, I stopped because I heard voices.

"We need a plan of action," Carter's voice says.

"We will come up with a plan," Amos voice says. "We have no idea where Apophis is."

"Even when I was at the Egypt base, I never had communication with Apophis. Only Set had gotten that opportunity," Anubis's voice says.

"Any idea where he is?" Carter asks him. "Set never said anything?"

"No," Anubis says. "I know that he would go through a portal to meet with him. If Apophis hasn't heard from Set within a week, he's probably going to make himself known. I think it's best if we wait it out."

"I don't know," Amos says. "I don't want to lose anymore people. If we get surprised, we won't know what will happen."

"Then we stay prepared," Carter says. "Focus on training and put people on watch."

They spend the next couple of minutes talking about the plan for training and people watching round the clock.

"Should we tell Sadie about this plan?" Amos says. "I don't want to leave her out."

"Sadie needs rest," Anubis says. "She's been through a lot. She got beat up, she killed a death goddess, and she watched her father die. She needs time to heal physically and emotionally."

"How is she?" Carter asks. "She hasn't talked to anyone as much since he died. Mostly you."

"She's okay," Anubis says. "She had some nightmares throughout the night. I stayed with her so I could wake her. She is a strong girl, she's going to get through this."

"I never seen her like this before," Carter says. "Not since mom died."

"She didn't watch Ruby die," Amos says. "Not like she watched Julius. Julius told me Sadie was sound asleep when Ruby was killed. Sadie probably remembers waking up here and not the house in California and Julius telling her that her mother was gone."

I backed away from the office and headed towards the back of the house. I head back up to my room and think about the day that Amos talked about.

**Flashback (12 years ago) **

"Good night Sadie," My mother said to me. She pulled my covers up to me and kissed my head. "I love you."

"Love you too mommy," I said. "Goodnight!"

My mom shut the door and I was left in the dark with the glow of a pink night light. I closed my eyes and fell asleep. I didn't realize that would be the last time I ever spoke to my mother.

I thought it was strange when I woke up and I was in a different room. My bed room had pink walls and it was decorated like a kingdom. This room had an Egyptian style them. At the time, I didn't know that this was going to be my room for the next 12 years. I crawled out of bed and pushed the door open.

"Mommy? Daddy?" I called out.

"Sadie," my dad said. "You're awake."

He walked over and picked me up and brought me back down to the living room where Carter sat. Carter was visibly upset. He was crying. My dad sits on the couch and looks at me. "What's going on?" I asked. "Where's mommy?"

"Your mom isn't coming back Sadie," My dad said to me. "She's in a better place now."

I don't remember much after that. Except, that I was upset. I was confused. I fell asleep and woke up in a whole different world that I had remembered.

**End Flashback**

Hope you enjoy this kind of sad chapter. The next few chapters will lead up to a final battle with Apophis.
