Anubis's POV
I don't remember much of what happen the few minutes following Apophis's death. I held Sadie in my arms until Carter got to us. He picks her up. One arm behind his back and the other under her legs. One of her arms were over her stomach and the other hung down. I watched Carter carry her away towards the Brooklyn House. Amos was following them. I sat on my knees. Isis puts her hand on my shoulder. "Anubis," She says. "Are you alright?"
"His girlfriend just got stabbed by Apophis," Horus says. "Do you think he's alright mother?"
I ignore both of them and head straight for the house. I heard Walt instructing some magicians on taking care of the bodies of the dead. Walt was probably just as worried as the rest of us, he was probably distracting himself with taking care of clean up. I get into the house and to the infirmary. I sat on the bench right outside it's doors. A couple minutes later Carter comes out. He had blood on his shirt. Sadie's blood.
"How is she?" I ask.
"Jaz is working on it," Carter sits down next to me. "We not sure. Thoth is examining the knife. Sadie has poison in her blood stream and they need to figure out what the poison is before they can do much. Jaz is doing some spells to heal the wound and slow the poison. Amos is in there with Sadie right now."
Sadie was dying. I could tell. I was a death god. I couldn't do a single thing about it. Carter and I hadn't really talked much. We both sat on the bench We both wanted one thing right now. Sadie alive and well. A few moments later Thoth comes back with the knife.
"It's some sort of snake venom," Thoth says. "I'm not surprised because snakes are kind of his thing."
"How do we heal it?" Carter asks.
"Isis can probably heal it," Thoth says.
"Where is she?" I ask.
"I think she is in the great room," Thoth says.
I get up and walk into the great room. "Aunt Isis!" I call.
She gets up and looks at me. "Anubis," She says. "Is everything alright?"
"We need your help," I say. "Sadie has snake venom in her system. Please, I love her. Help her. Please."
"Of course," She says. Isis walks over towards the infirmary and they let her in. Carter and I remain on the bench until Amos come out. Both of us stand up at the same time.
"She's going to be fine," Amos says. We both sigh in relief. "However, she could potentially be in a coma for a couple days. The venom got to her brain. Isis thinks that she got it in time but until she wakes up. We don't know if it affected her brain or not."
"What do you think would happen?" Carter asks. "If it did?"
"Her memories, senses, movements, or anything could be off. When she wakes up, we will test her for all of those things. Right now, we just wait for her to wake up. You two boys go get cleaned up. Oh, and Carter, if you could get something from her closet easy for Jaz and Zia to put on her." Amos says before walking off. Probably to help clean things up.
Cleo, Alyssa, and a couple other people were letting the kids and everyone who was in the library out. They were told what happened to Sadie and they were told not to go outside due to the amount of mess the battle had caused. Thoth and Isis were using some magic to put things back together. Carter and I go upstairs he stops in Sadie and I's room and grabs what was probably a white dress from her closet and leaves. I go into the bathroom and took a shower. The sun was starting to set. When I finish, I change into fresh black jeans and a white t-shirt. I sat on the couch of the bedroom. I though about what Sadie. I looked over at the balcony. This room reminded me a lot of Sadie. I got up and walked down the stairs to see what I could do to help. I walked out the front of the Brooklyn house. All of the bodies of deceased people were taken care off. The grass was green and the trees didn't look dead. The roads that were cracked were fixed. Some houses down the road were fixed up. Thoth and Isis fixed the area only by a couple of blocks.
"What do you think Anubis?" Walt says. "Looks like there was never a battle with a giant serpent who can also turn into a snake/human person straight out of a horror movie."
I laughed. "Not at all. It looks beautiful. Sadie's going to love it when she wakes up." I tell him.
"Yeah," Walt says. "If she wakes up and remembers what happened and is normal Sadie."
"I'm sure she'll be fine. I think we caught it soon enough." I tell him. I hoped. I was worried. What if she woke up and didn't remember anything? What if something was wrong? What if she didn't wake up?
"Let's hope for the best," Walt says. "Not fear the worst."
"You're right," I say. "I'm going to go see if I can see her."
"See you later bro," Walt says walking away.
I go back to the infirmary. Carter was sitting next to Sadie. He sat in a chair next to her bed an was watching her. I look at Sadie. She wore a short, lose, white dress. It had thin straps. Both of Sadie's hands were placed on either side of her. Her eyes were closed. I could see her chest rising and falling. I sit on the other side of her.
"I'll let you be with her for a while," Carter says. "I better go check on Zia."
Carter gets up and leaves. I use my thumb to move some of Sadie's hair out of her face. "I love you," I tell her and kiss her forehead. I sit on the chair on this side of her. "We haven't won until you wake up and we can tell that you're okay."
I continue to sit there and watch her. I wanted nothing more than for her to be okay. I sat there next to her until I fall asleep in the chair.
