Sadie's POV
I held hands with Anubis as we walked through a field. He wore blue jeans with holes in them, a white t-shirt that was tight on his arms, and his black combat boots. You could see the bottom of his jackal tattoo on his arm. I wore a short white dress and my combat boots. I lean against a tree and faced Anubis. He placed his hands on my waist. I wrap mine around his neck.
"I love you, Anubis," I smile.
"I love you too, Sadie," Anubis says.
I kiss him. He kisses me back. When we pull away, I see Apophis behind Anubis. Anubis notices me staring and turns. Apophis throws a knife and it hits me. Then I remembered what happened. The image of Apophis throwing a knife, Ra cutting off his head, me looking down at the knife that hit me, Carter running towards me, Anubis catching me. Everything going dark.
I open my eyes and sit up breathing heavily. I look around the room was dark. I recognized it as the infirmary. I put my hand where I had been hit with the knife. I get up and turn the light on. I lift the dress that I was wearing and look at where I had been hit. It was healed. I sit back on the bed and slow down my breathing. I look around the room. Where was everyone? How long was I out?
It must've been the middle of the night. I turn the infirmary light off and make my way up the steps. I did my best not to make noise. I had no shoes on so it was easy. I make my way down to my bedroom. When I get in, I see Anubis sleeping in the bed. The moonlight shined through the window and the balcony doors. Anubis was laying on his stomach with his head turned towards me. He was shirtless and the sheets were covering the lower half of his body. I was able to see some shorts as I got closer to him. I sit on the bed next to him.
"Anubis," I say. I place my hand on his back. He stayed asleep. "Anubis," I say a little louder.
Anubis turns and looks at me. "Sadie!" He says. "You're awake!" I turn the lamp on the nightstand on. He places his hands on either side of my face. He kisses me. I kiss him back. After a couple of minutes, he pulls back.
"I don't know if it that big of a deal," I say.
"Sadie," Anubis says. "It's been two weeks."
"Two weeks!" I say standing up. "What happened?"
"The knife had some snake venom in it. Isis managed to heal it but it got to your brain. All they told me is that you were in a coma and we wouldn't know if it affected you until you woke up." Anubis says. "We have to tell Carter you're awake."
"If I was in a coma why weren't either of you in the infirmary?" I ask.
"We took turns each night," Anubis says. "Then, after the first week Carter said that if you woke up you would probably find me or him."
Anubis gets up and puts a shirt on. He grabs my hand and drags me towards Carters room. "I don't see why we can't wait until morning."
"You can't tell me your tired," Anubis says. "You were in a coma for two weeks."
Anubis knocks on the door. We hear movement and the door opens. Carter was wearing pajama pants and a white t-shirt. "Sadie!" He says. He comes out of the bedroom and shuts the door. Zia was probably sleeping. Carter hugs me. It takes me a second to finally hug him back.
"Hey," I say. He backs away. "How are you feeling?"
"I remember everything," I say.
"Uncle Amos has a few tests he wants to do to make sure your alright. We need to test your senses, reflexes, movements, memories, thinking." Carter tells me.
"Well," I say. "I remember what happened. Memories. I made it from the infirmary to my room. Movements. I felt Anubis kiss me. Senses. I think tests are insane. Thinking. I'm pretty sure if I can move then reflexes are fine also. Are we done?"
Carter looks at Anubis. Anubis shakes his head. They probably had a silent conversation about how I was fine because my comments were still sassy and sarcastic. I crossed my arms. "Let's all get some sleep," Carter says. "In the morning, Amos is going to make sure you are alright."
"Fantastic," I turn to head towards my room.
"Sadie," Carter says. "I'm glad you're okay. I missed you."
I smile at him. He smiles back and then goes back into his room. Anubis follows me back to mine. Once we get into the room I turn and kiss Anubis again. He kisses me back. I kiss him a couple more times. Anubis and I get back into the bed. We both lay on our backs staring at the ceiling.
"So, jackal boy," I say. "Fill me in what's been going on the past two weeks."
"Well," Anubis says. "Apophis is dead. We cleaned up the warzone. Thoth, Ra, and Isis made some changes to the outdoors. Only by a couple of blocks every couple days. I created a graveyard with gravestones of everyone that someone in this house has lost. Even Julius and Ruby. We haven't done that much. Everyone's been too worried about you."
"Do you still have your powers?" I ask.
"Yes," Anubis says. "Only because I wasn't sure what was going to happen to you. I kept my powers in case you died."
"What were you going to do if I died?" I ask.
"Find a way to bring you back," Anubis says. "I needed my powers to do that."
"Isn't bringing people back to life a bad idea," I ask. "There's always consequences or something."
"Probably," Anubis says. "I was going to deal with that when I got to that."
I find Anubis's hand and lace our fingers together. "Let's just be glad we didn't have to cross that bridge." I turn and move closer to Anubis. He turns towards me and puts his arms around me. He kisses my head before resting his head on top of mine. I close my eyes and go to sleep.
Another short chapter but I posted 4 chapters today. I hope you guys are enjoying. I think were almost towards the end. No need to worry because I have two more story ideas for you guys. I will decide which one to do next. I'm leaning towards the one that I left a description in one of the previous chapters. It was at the end of chapter 27 if you skipped over it and want to read it. I still don't have a title. I'm really not sure what to title it. I might do a thing where I let you guys come up with a title. You will get credit for it because I'm all about giving people credit. I'll see if I can't come up with a title in the next few days.
