Sadie's POV
This battle taught me a few things:
1. Thoth thinks it's a good idea to let a heard of baboon's fight.
2. I'm forever saving Anubis from demons.
3. Apophis is a lazy serpent for sitting back and watching the whole battle unfold.
4. There were more people in Apophis's army than I ever knew was left on the planet.
I continuously used spells, my staff, and threw knifes at anything that came in my direction that I knew was a target. We had fought for hours. I know that the gods probably weren't tired. Though, Anubis has been through a lot. I glance over between Anubis, Carter, and Amos. I was worried about them. I also search for my friends to make sure they didn't need help. Walt was using many of his amulets to fight people. Zia was using some fire magic to take care of demons who escaped the wrath of the jackals. Carter was running around and helping anyone who needed it. Alyssa, Sean, and Julian were working together to pull injured back into the infirmary. Some of the people in the infirmary that could be healed easily returned back out for battle. Anyone with broken limbs were told to stay in the infirmary until everything was over. We were slowly losing people that could fight. Apophis's army was a never ending. I wondered where the hell all of these people have been hiding. Probably in Egypt. Anubis told us that Egypt was where Set had lived.
There was a demon and a magician running towards me from two directions. I point my wand at the demon and cause him to explode. Then I duck before the magician can hit me and kick him in the back and drive my knife through his back. Someone wraps their arms around me and another aims their gun at me. They fire and I turn and it hits the one that was holding me in the arm because I hear him shout. I slam my elbow into his stomach causing him to release me and a throw knife at the other one. It hits him in the chest. I walk over and take it out and walk back to the injured one. He looks up at me and holds his hands up in surrender.
"Get out of here," I tell him.
"Thank you," He says. "For sparing my life."
"I'm not Apophis," I say. "I'm not the monster here."
He nods and runs off. Some of them you could tell that they weren't willing to fight but they had no choice. I let some of them that looked scared run away. I look over at Amos. He had been fighting a lot of demons that the jackals couldn't. He was fine. I checked for Carter again. He was helping and injured Zia into the house. She held her arm and it was bleeding. She was going to be fine. I checked for Anubis, Walt, Alyssa, Cleo, and all the rest of my friends.
"ENOUGH!" Apophis yells.
Everyone stopped fighting. I realized that most of his army was either dead, injured, ran away, or surrendered. "Giving up already?" I ask Apophis.
"No," Apophis says. "I'm just getting started."
There was a glowing all around Apophis. Next thing I know, there is a man around Amos's age standing in front of me. He had red eyes like a snake. Pale skin, that also looked like snake skin. The guy basically looked like a snake if a snake had a human body. He had dark hair. He wore a snake skin suit. I assumed this man was Apophis. I wasn't aware he could turn into a person. I guess it made since. If all the other gods could look like people, he could to. Even though he looked like a creepy snake/human thing. I knew one thing would come out of this. I would hate snakes for the rest of my life.
"I prefer your other form," I say. "It gave me less nightmares."
"Sadie Kane," Apophis ignored my comments. "You are a talented magician. It's a shame, you must die."
"I don't plan on being the one who dies today Apophis," I say. "You on the other hand should be worried about it."
"Your comments mean nothing to me Kane," Apophis says. He grabs me by the neck and raises me off the ground. I drop my wand and staff and move my hands to the one he held my neck with. I clawed at him with my fingers. His skin also felt like a snake, which was disturbing. Mummy wrapping goes around me and pulls me back and I fall to the ground in front of Apophis.
Anubis stood in between me and Apophis. "You will not harm Sadie Kane."
"Anubis," Apophis says. "You know, I was going to kill you the first day this all started. Your father, Set, thought he could get you to change. Join us. He had hope that you would follow in his footsteps. Instead, you fall in love with this mortal girl. How disappointing. You are a disappointment to the gods and to Egypt."
"I'd rather be a disappointment than to be a traitor to Egypt and side with you," Anubis says with anger in his voice.
I had gotten up from the ground and I was standing to the side but still behind Anubis. Then, Anubis falls to his knees and he was shouting in pain. I realized it was Apophis controlling him. I drop to my knees and put my hands-on Anubis's shoulders. "Stop!" I shout. "Apophis please, you're hurting him."
"Apophis," A voice says. "Enough!"
Apophis looks up and Anubis was free from his power. Anubis falls back a little. I was behind him so he leaned into me. I wrap my arms around his shoulders and kiss his head. Ra appears next to us.
"Ra," Apophis says. "You're still alive and out of hiding."
"You have caused enough chaos. Look at what the world has become because of what you've done," Ra says. "You are the reason Osiris, Julius Kane, Ruby Kane, and countless others are dead."
Anubis recovered and we were both standing next to Ra. "It's disappointing even for me." Apophis comments. "I could have done far worse."
"Let's end this Apophis," Ra says. "A battle between you and I. To the death."
Everyone was surrounding us. There was a big circle of people. I saw Carter being held back by Amos. Alyssa and Cleo looked worried. I saw Walt with his arms crossed and a couple of guys were around him. Julian, Sean, and Paul. Anubis and I backed up and were standing next to Isis and Horus. Isis was checking to make sure Anubis was okay and asking him if he was okay. I rolled my eyes. Horus puts an arm around me. "You did great Sadie." He says.
"Get your arm off me before you no longer have it!" I tell him.
Horus laughs and takes his hand away. "So feisty this one is cousin."
"Shut up Horus," Anubis says.
We turn our attention back to Ra and Apophis.
"If I win," Apophis says. "The world is mine."
Ra and Apophis start fighting. We watch as they continue to fight. Both Ra and Apophis were both doing a good job. They both injured each other and were close to killing the other many different times. Then Ra finally knocks Apophis to the ground. He had his foot on his chest. They were a few inches away from us. Both Apophis and Ra were covered in blood and their clothes were torn in multiple places. Horus walks over and holds Apophis by the shoulders while Ra stands in front of him. Apophis was now on his knees with his hands behind his back. Apophis was losing and he was probably about to be executed, but he was laughing.
"It's over Apophis," Ra says.
"It is," Apophis says. "For more than just me."
Apophis moves back and knocks Horus to the ground. He pulls a knife out of thin air and throws it before Ra cuts Apophis's head off. The world had started spinning. Anubis put his arms around me. "Sadie!" He yells.
"NO!" Carter yells. I see him running towards me. I look down and realized the knife had hit me. I hadn't even felt it. The last thing I see is Carter running towards me before I close my eyes and darkness followed.
