Hey, sorry I've been away. I have college classes. Then I had all of the holiday stuff. I was going to post this yesterday but fanfiction had a doc manager issue but it's fixed now yay!

Anubis POV

A couple hours after Sadie falls asleep I start to get sleepy. I look around and see a sign for a motel. I continue driving until the motel is in view. The motel was a one level with a porch and it had multiple doors and windows for each motel room. On the end was a door that had a welcome sign which was probably the office. I park the car and then turn it off. I look back at Sadie. She was peacefully asleep. I get out of the car and head towards the office. I open the door. The office had a desk along the back with filling cabinets behind it. To the right was a bathroom and to the left was a couple of chairs. Sitting at the desk was a lady wearing a t-shirt and jeans. She looks up and smiles.

"Hello there!" She says. "Are you here to get a room for the night?"

"Yes," I say. "Can I get one with two beds?"

She types in the computer. "It looks like the rooms with two beds are all booked." She says.

"That's fine," I say. "We will manage."

I hand her the money and she finishes up on the computer. "Here's your key card. Your going to be in room number 4."

"Thank you," I say.

"Good night," She says.

I head out. I look over and see a guy trying to get a girl to come with him but she was refusing. She managed to pull her arm away and get into the taxi. He looks over at me. "What are you looking at?" he asks. I roll my eyes and head back to the car. I open the door and move the seat for Sadie to get out.

"Sadie," I say. I put a hand on her leg. "Wake up."

She slowly opens her eyes and sits up to look around. "Where are we?" She yawns.

"We're at a motel," I say. "I was starting to fall asleep so I stopped for the night."

I move so she can get out and I go to the other side to get the backpacks. I lock the doors and shut the passenger side. She shuts the driver side. She follows me holding her jacket in her arms. I get to the door with the number on it and open it. She steps in and I follow her. The room was like a normal motel room. In the front there was the door and the window. The window had red curtains. The walls were striped with black and red. The first few feet of the room were covered in white tiles. Over the tiled area was little round wooden table with a couple of matching chairs. By the door was a closet. The rest of the floor was covered by grey carpet. Along the right wall was a king size bed. The bed frame was black with matching end tables. It had grey sheets and a red comforter with a black blanket folded at the end of the bed. The end tables both had silver lamps with red lamp shades. Across from the bed was a black dresser with a tv on the top. The back wall had a door which led to the bathroom. I set the bags down on the table.

"They only had one bed rooms left," I tell Sadie. "I can sleep on the floor if you want to take the bed."

"You can have one side and I'll take the other side," Sadie says. "You need to get some good rest if you're going to successfully get me home safely."

"Alright," I say. I grab my backpack and then I head to the bathroom to get ready for bed. After a couple minutes I come back out and see Sadie was already changed into pajamas and laying down with the blankets over her. I put my bag in the closet and I lay down on my side of the bed. Since it was King size we still had plenty of space between us.

"Do you have any friends or family back where you live?" Sadie asks.

"I have my aunt, uncle, and cousin." I tell her.

"What about your mom and dad?" She asks.

"My mom died when I was young and my dad didn't want to be a part of my life. My aunt and uncle raised me along with my cousin." I explain.

"Do you have any friends?" She asks.

"I don't really have time to make friends," I say. "I'm always on a mission or training."

"So, you're always on missions?"

"Most of the time," I say. "Most of them are missions that will lead us to figuring out where Set hides out to take him down."

"Was he the reason for your mother dying?" She asks. "Whenever he's mentioned you always have anger and sadness in your eyes."

"Yeah," I say. "He's the reason my mom died. She was killed trying to protect me. Ever since that day I've wanted to take him down. I never really cared about anything else."

"Do you have a girlfriend?" She asks.

"Nope," I say.

"Have you ever had a girlfriend?" She asks.

"Is this an interrogation?" I joke.

"I'm just trying to learn more about you," She explains. "You probably know a lot about me but I know nothing about you."

"I've never really had a girlfriend." I tell her. "I've always been so determined to take down Set."

"I hope you reach your goal and take him down," She says.

"What about you?" I ask.

"What about me?"

"Do you have a boyfriend?" I ask. "I've heard about your family and some of your friends. You've never mentioned a boyfriend or anything."

"I did have a boyfriend," Sadie says. "Walt Stone. We decided it was best to stay friends. I just didn't love him in that way. He's grown up with me and Carter that he's more like a brother."

Sadie and I lay there in silence. I'm relieved that she does not have a boyfriend. Most of my missions I focus on the mission and not on the personal lives of the people I'm trying to save. Sadie was different. I was starting to have feelings for her.

I look over at Sadie. She had her eyes closed and she was lying on her side facing me. She had both of her hands under her head. I turn off the lamp next to me and close my eyes to go to sleep.

Sadie's POV

I open my eyes. It was a little light in the room. It must've been morning. I was facing the wall with the window and the door. I felt Anubis's arms around my waist. I turn towards him. He must've felt my movement because his eyes opened and he was already moving his arms away.

"Morning," I say as he gets up.

"Hey," He says. "How did you sleep?"

"Good," I say.

"I'm going to go and get ready to leave," Anubis takes his bag and heads to the bathroom.

I get up and I put my boots and jacket on then I head outside. I head towards the office and see some vending machines. I go up to one of them and get a couple of granola bars from it. I turn around and see a guy leaning against the wall. He was tall and handsome. He had a grey hoodie under a dark denim jacket. He was wearing dark jeans and boots. I could see some marking on his neck I assume are tattoos.

"Hello there," He says.

"Hello," I say. I go to walk out the door. He puts his arm in the way.

"What's your name?" He asks.

"None of your business," I say.

"Pretty and sassy," He says. "You aren't from around, here are you? I would've seen you if you were."

"I'm just passing through with my friend," I say.

"Is she as pretty as you?" He asks.

"Leave her alone," A voice says. Anubis walks in ducking under the guys arm. "She's with me."

"I doubt it," The guy says. "You're just helping her because you think she's pretty. Do you know him princess?"

"Yes, he's the friend I'm passing through with," I tell the guy.

Anubis turns to stand in front of me. "Now leave her alone," Anubis crosses his arms. The guy looks at me then back at Anubis. He puts his hands in his pockets and walks away.

Anubis and I walk back to the room. "Thanks for that," I say.

"My job is to protect you, even if it means protecting you from some creep like that guy." Anubis says. "I saw him messing with another girl last night."

"I probably should have told you where I was going," I say.

"I have the keys so I knew you didn't go to far. I assumed you went to get something to eat." Anubis says.

"I got something for you too," I say. "I figured you were going to be hungry." I hand him one of the granola bars.

"Thanks," he says. He moves his backpack onto the table. I see him flinch and realize he was using his injured arm.

"How's your arm doing?" I ask.

"It's fine," He says. "It's healing really well."

"That's good," I say. I grab my bag and head to the bathroom to get ready. I change into jeans, t-shirt, and a black hoodie that said 'Brooklyn' hoodie. I head back out and see Anubis was already gone. I grab the rest of my stuff and head to the car. I open the door and put my stuff in the back seat.

"Were all checked out and good to go." Anubis says walking to his side. We both get in and then we start driving.

Here's the next chapter. Hope you enjoy. I'm going to try to get another chapter up tomorrow. Maybe a couple on Sunday. I was going to spend some time working on it over break but I got caught up with other things. My classes start Monday so I'll try my best to post. I promise I didn't forget about it.
