Sadie's POV

When I open my eyes, I instantly remembered that we had stayed the night. Isis insisted that we had to because it was too dark to get away from the base to make a portal. Anubis's shirt that I wore had moved up my body to above my belly button in my sleep. I lay on my back. Anubis laid on his side facing me with his arm around my waist. Anubis was still asleep.

"Jackal boy," I shake his arm that rested on my stomach.

Anubis opens his brown eyes and sits up. "Is everything alright?" He asks.

"Fine," I say. "I was just waiting for you to get up."

I sit up and hug him from behind. I kissed his shoulder and rested my chin on it. Anubis puts his hands over mine. We sit like that for a minute before Anubis starts moving off of the bed. I find my way out too. I take off Anubis's shirt and hand it to him. Anubis begins putting on his shirt and jeans. I do the same. Once we were both dressed, we at on the bench at the end of the bed and put our boots on. I grab my weapons belt and put it on. I have my staff strapped to my back before Anubis and I head out. Thoth was already out in the main room. Along with Horus. Horus was dressed in battle armor. Though, I'm sure it was going to be a while before we had to actually battle someone.

"There's my favorite magician," Thoth says. "I really loved how you were so sassy towards Isis yesterday. I think you guys definitely told her what we were all thinking."

"I was just telling her what I really thought," I told him.

"She's been different since my father was killed," Horus says. "I think she really needed that. A wake-up call of sorts."

"I can understand that," I say. Losing my mother and my father has changed my life. Now that they were both gone, I was worried about losing someone else. I wasn't ready to leave Carter and Amos. I hoped that Carter would've came with us. All I wanted to do was go home and be with them.

Isis and Ra join us along with a couple of servants. Thoth then leads the way back to where we came. He makes a portal and we all step through. We were back in the great room. I take off my jacket, staff, and weapons belt.

"Sadie!" Carter says. Carter walks over to me. I give him a hug. "I'm glad your back." Carter and I pull away and I stand beside him. "Welcome to the Brooklyn house," he says to Isis, Horus, and Ra. "Thank you for coming to help."

Carter showed them where they could stay. I go up to my room and take a shower. I put on some black shorts outlined with white and a white tank top. I walk out to my balcony. I sat down leaning against the wall of the house. I stare off into the city. I wondered what would happen after we kill Apophis. Most of my life has been this world. I'd have to adjust to new life. I also worried about what is going to happen during this battle. Carter and Amos were my last family. I didn't want to lose them. Then I though about Anubis. What if he died? I know, I sound absolutely crazy. A death god dying. I did kill Anput. If she could be killed by a magician, I was sure that Anubis could possibly be killed by Apophis. I'm sure I was worrying about these things because of my mom and dad. I never said goodbye or told them how much I loved them. What if that happened to Carter, Amos, or Anubis. I pulled my legs close to my chest. I sat on the balcony with the doors closed so no one would find me. I'm sure if Anubis came looking for me, he'd hear my heartbeat or breathing. I'm sure they were both busy trying to make sure Horus, Ra, and Isis were getting adjusted to the changes. I close my eyes and images of my father's death played in my mind. Him getting stabbed, me screaming, Carter holding onto me, me staring at my dad's lifeless body fall to the ground, and Set laughing. I opened my eyes. I felt my heart racing and tears coming out of my eyes. I take a couple deep breaths before closing my eyes again. I rested my head on the railing of the balcony. I eventually drift off to sleep.

"Sadie," A voice says. "Wake up."

I open my eyes and see Anubis looking at me. "What?" I ask.

"Why are you sleeping on the balcony?" He asks.

"I was hiding," I say. "I wanted to be alone. I must've fallen asleep. How long has it been?"

"We came back 6 hours ago," Anubis says.

"Wow," I say. "I'm sure Carter's probably worried."

"We've been searching for you," Anubis says. "Carter said he checked your room. I didn't think to check it until we've searched the whole place. Is everything alright?"

"Yeah," I say. "I'm fine."

"Are you sure?" he asks.

"Yes," I say. "Why are you asking so many questions?"

"You haven't spoken much since you yelled at Isis," Anubis says.

"I've just been thinking," I say. "Isis lost one person. One person. People around here have lost their entire families. Zia, Walt, Carter, Jaz, Me, and countless others have no parents. None. Most of our parents sacrificed themselves so that we could live. Isis, hid from all of these events for twelve years. She has the nerve to tell me that she's lost so much."

"She had no reason to say that," Anubis says to me. "I promise, I'll make sure she doesn't talk to you. If she makes you mad."

"I have to be nice," I say. "If were going to defeat Apophis we need to work together."

"I'll be there, by your side, I'll make sure she doesn't anger you." Anubis says.

I lace my fingers with his. "You know," I say. "If most people had an idea of what a death god would be like. It wouldn't be you."

"What's that mean?" Anubis asks.

"Well," I say. "When I think of a death god, I think scary, creepy, mean, loves death. Not handsome, funny, kind, caring, and selfless like you."

"I'm different I guess," Anubis says. "I mean, I try to be the opposite of my father. Set, the god of evil. I didn't want to be like him. Plus, I'm not really like most of the other gods. I always treated the servants with respect. I have an attachment to mortals."

"Ever think about being mortal?" I ask. "I mean, if Set could take your powers away. Couldn't Isis or Ra do that?"

"I'm sure they could," Anubis says. "I never really thought of that or had a reason to."

"Maybe when we've taken care of Apophis you could ask them," I tell him.

"You mean ask them to take my powers?" Anubis asks.

"Only if you want to," I say. "Then we won't have to worry about the whole god dating a mortal thing."

"I'll think about it," Anubis says. "Right now, we should get you inside. It's getting cold and your wearing shorts and a tank top. Also, Carter's probably worried about you."

Anubis and I get up. I decide to go find Carter and let him know I was alright. There wasn't much more excitement for the rest of the day.

Hope you enjoyed. Let me know what you think. Do you think Anubis will give up his powers and his life as a god for Sadie?

FantasyQueen, I read your review. No, I don't have a valentine. I'm not a very big fan of valentine's day either. I thought it would be cute for a Sanubis one-shot though.
