I decided that it would be best for two chapters. One part with Anubis and the other part with Sadie. I wrote them both before I posted them because I didn't want to leave you on two cliff hangers. In the 38th chapter there's a cliff hanger. I'm going to try to write the next chapter right after I post these ones.

Anubis's POV

I open my eyes and find Sadie sleeping beside me. Sadie was facing me with one of her arms under her pillow and the other one resting over her body. I laid facing her in a similar position as she was. I watched her sleep for a while. It was the middle of the day. We had already gone through the practice drill for the day. I came upstairs to take a nap because I was tired. When I had been sleeping, Sadie must've come in here to do the same. I move her hair out of her face lightly trying not to wake her. She moves a little but she doesn't open her eyes. I lay there and watch her for a couple more minutes. I get up and use the bathroom. I come back out and grab my jacket and put it on.

I finish putting my boots on when I hear rumbling sounds and then the house starts to shake. As soon as I heard that I knew, it was most likely Apophis. It was time.

I look over at Sadie who was immediately awakened. "What the hell was that?" She asks getting up and throwing on her boots.

"I don't know, but I have a feeling." I say. I walk over and open the balcony doors. I look towards the direction of the front of the house. I see a giant serpent. I know exactly who it was. Apophis.

I didn't realize Sadie had joined me. "That's him isn't it. Apophis."

"Yes," I tell her. "It is."

That was when we hear the alarms go off. Sadie grabs her weapons belt with her knifes and wand. She grabs her staff. We head down to the main floor. Walt was already down there ready to go. Walt and I held the doors of the library doors while the kids and others got in. Some of the kids looked scared and worried. Once they were all in, we shut the doors and Sadie locks the door with a spell. Everyone else were getting in their positions.

"Good luck man," Walt says to me.

"You too," I say to him.

All of the magicians that weren't medics, guarding the library and infirmary, or on the roof were all standing in the great room. Carter and Sadie stood by the door with their uncle. Once everyone was ready Amos opens the doors and the three of them walk out. I move through the crowd and stand by the doors to the outside of the mansion. Horus, Isis, Ra, and Thoth were all standing by the doors already. I look out the door. Apophis was a massive serpent. I wasn't sure how we were going to take him down. Surrounding him was groups of magicians, gods, demons, and humans that have decided to side with him.

"Carter and Sadie Kane," Apophis says. "Children of Julius and Ruby Kane. It has come to my attention that someone in your resistance has killed Set."

"Set was killed by Anubis," Sadie says. "Right after Set killed my father, Julius."

"Julius had to die," Apophis says. "Ruby and Julius tried to stop us, unfortunately it did not work out for them. They are gone and soon, their children will soon meet the same fate."

"I wouldn't be so sure about that," Carter says. "We have an army."

"Your army is pathetic compared to mine," Apophis laughs.

"My mother and father are dead because of you!" Sadie yells. "This ends today!"

"I'll give you two an option," Apophis says. "Turn yourselves in, I'll leave everyone else in that house of yours alive. If you do not turn yourselves in. I'll kill every last person you ever cared about."

Carter and Sadie whisper to each other. Once they come to an agreement Sadie looks at me. I look in to her blue eyes until she turned away. Sadie had been worried about losing people she cared about. All I could think about was if that was the last time, I was going to see those blue eyes. I was worried about Sadie even though I knew she could take care of herself.

"We're not going down without a fight!" Carter yells.

All of the magicians started cheering. "Very well," Apophis says. "I gave you the option to turn yourselves in. The outcome will be on your hands."

Then, it began.

Apophis's army charges towards the house. The people from the roofs started firing the weapons they had. The magicians and the couple of gods we had piled out of the house and started fighting. I summon jackal warriors that start tearing apart any demon they see. I continue turning whoever and whatever I can into ashes or drag them into the underworld. I occasionally scan the area to find Sadie. Sadie was fighting two magicians at once. Sadie was easily taking down her opponents. Carter and Horus were working together to take down a god. I wasn't sure which god. Isis was using magic to turn some of her opponents into various objects. Thoth summoned a heard of baboons to fight. Ra was using fire to take down his opponents. Apophis was watching everything. I could tell he clearly wanted to make sure we got through his whole army before he was going to fight. I knew he wasn't going to try anything until his army were either dead or surrendered. The battle could go on for hours. I end up near Sadie. She fought a couple of magicians. Some demons try to sneak up on her but are interrupted my being wrapped in mummy wrappings. When she sees that they were coming after her she slams her staff into one and it burst and she throws a knife at the other one. Sadie and I both have a break of fighting people. We give each other a quick look before getting back into fighting. A couple of my jackals were attacking a demon running towards Zia and Alyssa. Most of the magicians had protection circles around them and fighting off anything that came at them. Apophis's army felt endless. Some of them were easy to get rid of because a majority of them were humans who were willingly fighting for a giant serpent like Apophis. I could tell that our army wasn't getting very many deadly casualties. I occasionally did see a medic dragging someone back into the house due to injuries. We had spent a lot of time training. No matter if it was combat, magic, or weapons. Everyone was prepared. Everyone was trained to get out of situations. Horus was easily taking down anyone in his path. Due to being a war god he was good at fighting. He knew how to take down any opponent quickly and easily.

I was caught off guard when a demon slams right into me. I fall to the ground onto my back. I quickly roll onto my stomach and use my hands to push my body up quickly. The demon comes at me again. I duck and turn quickly. Then, it came at me again. I hadn't moved soon enough because it cuts me in the side. I shout in pain. I fall to the ground and hold my side. I saw the demon coming at me again. Then a knife hits it bursts and its remains fall everywhere. I look over and see Sadie. I remembered the first day I met her when she killed a demon that was about to kill me. She had saved my life once again. I thank her. Thoth comes over to me.

"You're lucky your girlfriend is a good aim with throwing knives," He say healing me.

"I know," I say. "I'm starting to think I literally will not live without her," I tell him.

"Keep up the good work buddy," Thoth pats me on the back before running back into battle.

I searched through the crowd of fights. I wondered how many more people there were to fight. I felt like we had been fighting for hours. I wasn't sure how long it had been since it started. I knew that eventually people were going to start getting tired. I checked on everyone to make sure they were alright. I summon some more jackal warriors to hopefully give our side less people to fight. The jackals were easily killing all of the demons so that the magicians only had to worry about the other magicians and humans. Isis, Horus, Thoth, Ra, and I were focused on the gods. The system that Carter and Amos worked so hard on to plan was working. We weren't having any issues with anyone getting into the Brooklyn house.

I look over at Sadie and see that she was surrounded by at least five magicians. She was trying her best to fight them off. I make mummy wrappings wrap around all of them and pull it causing them to fall. That's when Sadie starts casting spells to take care of them. She looks at me and smiles once she finishes taking care of them. I give her a quick smile back. This battle with Apophis felt endless. I knew that if we kept pushing through that the outcome was going to be fine.
