Sadie's POV
I throw myself onto my bed. I just finished helping some of the magicians practice some spells and I was tired. I wore grey shorts, a matching grey jacket, and a red tank top. I close my eyes and try to rest for a minute. I open my eyes again when I hear the door open and close. I look over to see Anubis.
"Hey," He says. Anubis walks over and sits beside me. I sit up and move to sit beside him. "How was training?"
"Good," I say. "I think were as ready as we can be for Apophis. What have you been up to?"
"I helped Thoth and Isis make sure the library had enough protection for the children under the age of 16 or didn't want to fight." Anubis says.
Carter made a rule where if you're under the age of 16 you are not allowed to fight. Anyone 16 and older could fight if they wanted to. Most of them agreed to except for a few between 16-18. There were also a couple of parents that decided to watch the kids in the library while the battle was going on. We had some practice getting the kids to the room as quickly as possible. We've had an exciting past few days.
"Do you think were prepared?" I ask.
"Yes," Anubis says. "Sadie, I think everything is going to be fine."
I put my head on Anubis's shoulder. We've been busy for the past few days. The only time I really see Anubis is before we go to sleep and when we get ready in the morning. Anubis and I sit there with our fingers laced together and my head on his shoulder. Then we hear the drill alarms go off. I get up and Anubis follows me. We walk down the steps to the great room as we were instructed. I watch as the kids make their way to the library. Everyone was calm during the drills. I just wondered what was actually going to happen. Everyone will probably be running and the kids could be scared. It could happen anytime during the day. I see Carter and Zia talking to Amos. Walt was one of the guys holding the door open until everyone who wasn't participating in the battle was in the library.
"While they are going to the library all of you need to be getting your wands, staffs, weapons. Medical people need to be grabbing the healing potions and other first aid stuff. The infirmary will also be protected by the same spells as the library. We will have about 10 magicians each guarding the doors to the library and infirmary as the backup incase the spells fail." Carter explains. "I also need about twenty people to be on the roof of the Brooklyn house, preferably with good aim. Bow and arrows or gun. If you want to volunteer for any of those positions please see Zia before the end of the day and she will explain to you more on what you're supposed to be doing. You can go on with the day now, thank you."
Walt and Sean open the doors and the kids come piling out. "Carter!" I call as I follow him up the stairs.
"Hey Sadie," He says.
"How is everything going?" I ask.
"Great," He says.
"Does Jaz have all of the healing potions made up? Do we have enough wands and staffs for backups? Do we have enough healers? Do we have enough magicians to battle?" I ask.
"Sadie," He says. "I know you're worried. Yes, Jaz has more than enough healing potions and she's making more today. We have enough wands and staffs for each magician fighting to have two backups each. We have twenty healers and we have over three hundred magicians that came from all over to help us fight. Everything is fine."
"So, we're prepared?" I ask.
"Yes," He says. "Sadie, we're prepared. Amos and I are going to have a final preparation meeting later today if you want to come. If it will make you feel less worried."
"Alright," I say. "In the office?"
"Yes," Carter says. "In a couple of hours."
"Okay," I say. "I'll be there."
Carter hugs me and kisses the top of my head. I wonder off to my room and take a shower. When I get out, I get dressed in some jeans and a white t-shirt. I walk out of the bathroom and find Anubis standing on the balcony looking down at the river. I walk up behind him and wrap my arms around him and rest the side of my head on his back.
"Sadie," he says.
"Jackal boy," I say to him. I feel him put one of his hands over mine.
"What are you up to for the rest of the day?" he asks me.
"I'm going to go to the final preparation meeting in a couple hours," I tell him.
"I have to be there," he tells me.
"So, what I hear is we have a couple hours to hang out." I say.
Anubis turns in my arms. He wraps his arms around my waist. I look up at Anubis. I loved him. His eyes looked even more melting when the sun reflected on them. He looks down at me and smiles. He kisses me and I kiss him back. When we pull apart, I rest my head on his chest. We stand there for a while before we move back into the room. Anubis sits on the couch and I lay on the couch with my head in his lap.
"Do you think were prepared enough?" I ask.
"I think were prepared Sadie," Anubis says. "As prepared as we can be. We don't know what Apophis is going to do or if he is actually going to come. What are you so worried about? Is this still worrying over losing someone you care about? I won't let that happen again. I promise."
"I know," I say. "That doesn't stop me from worrying. I'm still in shock of losing someone my dad. I always thought he would be there."
Anubis messes with my hair. "He'll always be with you."
Anubis and I sit there. Sometimes we talk and sometimes we just sit there in silence.
Anubis and I make our way to the office. Carter, Zia, Amos, and Jaz were all there. Carter spots Anubis and I walking in and begins. "Everyone is here," He says. "Let's begin. Jaz, how are you on healers and potions?"
"Good," Jaz says. "I have all the healers and we have more than enough healing potions to make it through."
"Zia," Carter continues. "How about the assignments? Did you get enough people to volunteer?"
"Yes," Zia says. "I have enough volunteers. They all know what their job is and what to do if something goes wrong."
"Great," Carter says. "Amos? How are the weapons?"
"We have plenty," Amos says. "We're fine there."
"Anubis," Carter says. "Are the other gods here ready?"
"Yes," Anubis says. "Horus mainly, but he loves war and battles. Everyone else is also prepared."
"Awesome," Carter says. "Sadie, does it make you feel better that were all good to go?"
"I think I'll be fine," I told him.
"Alright," Carter says. "Does anyone have questions?" Everyone stays silent. "Alright, if you do just let me know. Everyone is dismissed. Try to get some rest. We will go over the practice run tomorrow."
We all separate. I spend the rest of my day with Anubis.
I'm pretty sure the battle will begin in the next chapter. Now, I was wondering. Would you guys like a long chapter with the battle or a couple short chapters. Let me know. Also, let me know what you think of the story so far.
