Hey, here's another chapter. Sorry I haven't been updating. I've been busy. I've also been trying to write this chapter so many times. I want this to be write. Hopefully this time I got it down pretty good. I almost posted this chapter twice before but I thought the story wasn't right. Let me know what you think.

Sadie's POV

After Anubis calmed down his anger we headed out to the pond. We walked to the pond with little conversation. I thought about Anubis's life. He lost everything because of Set. He dedicated his life to taking him down. The only thing that I didn't know was why did Set do all of this to him.

"I'm sorry Set did all of that to you," I say. "He took your mother away and he killed the family that protected you."

"Set is an evil man," Anubis says. "He did kill your mom too. Which I can't figure out why."

"Do you know why he killed your mom?" I ask.

"I never really spent much time after watching her die to stick around and ask," Anubis says.

"You watched her die?" I ask.

"Set didn't know I was there," Anubis says. "I ran as soon as it happened. I wanted to stay but I couldn't. I had to get out and let everyone know about the monster he was. He never left anyone alive to cover up his tracks. Until that night. I wasn't supposed to be there but I was."

We were sitting on the rocks by the pond. I put my hand on his shoulder. I decided to change the subject so he could get his mind off of Set and what he has done to him. "I know we didn't just find these swimsuits to not get in the pond." I tell him. I stand up. I had taken the shorts off and had my t-shirt over my swimsuit. I took the shirt off and got in the water. It was cold at first but my body adjusted to it. I looked over at Anubis. He was still on the rocks. He was wearing the swim shorts he found and he was looking over at me. I splash him with the water.

"Now you're just trying to get me to come in," He says. He jumps in. After a minute he didn't come above the water.

"Anubis?" I ask. I look around. I then feel something grab my foot. I scream and fall into the water. I feel arms around me and Anubis pulls me back up. "You did that to scare me."

"I actually did that to get back at you for splashing me," Anubis says. "But scaring you was a bonus."

After a while of swimming around and messing with each other we decide to get out and head back. I pulled my t-shirt back on over my swimsuit and we walked back. Once we got back Anubis got a call on his phone. I went upstairs to change while he took care of that. I put on my dark jeans, black tank top, and my jacket. I head back downstairs and look for Anubis. I hear footsteps coming down the stairs. Anubis appears in a pair of black jeans and a white t-shirt. He had his jacket in his hands. He set it on the counter.

"Are you hungry?" He asks.

"Yeah," I say. "What are we eating?"

"I can make us some sandwiches," Anubis says.

"Alright," I say. "Sounds good."

I sit there as Anubis makes food. In a few days I was going to be reunited with my father and brother. Anubis will have completed his mission and return back to LA. I don't want this mission to end. It's been fun talking to him and getting to know him. Anubis puts a plate with a sandwich in front of me. I eat it. Once we both have finished eating we head outside to sit on the porch steps. We sit down on the porch steps. I had grabbed a sweat shirt and zipped it up. Anubis and I both sat on the top step facing towards the open field.

I watched as Anubis was looking out at the field. He was different than he was when we were on the run from Set's people. He was always alert and aware. Sitting here he was relaxed and calm.

"After today it's back on the road," I say breaking the silence.

"Yeah," Anubis says. "In a couple days you'll be home with your father and brother. I'll be back in LA looking for a way to take down Set."

"If nothing goes wrong," I say.

"Sadie," Anubis looks at me. "I'm going to get you back to your family. I promise. I'm not going to let Set hurt you. I'm not going to let him hurt anyone else. He's already hurt enough people."

Anubis and I sit there. I was looking up at him and he was looking down at me. We stare at each other. I think about the moment the other day where he kissed me. I knew it was just because we were trying not to be noticed. Anubis leans closer to me. I didn't realize what he was doing until he kissed me. It took me a second but I kissed back. Anubis stopped for a second. He probably didn't think I would kiss him back. I move closer and put my arms around his neck. Anubis moved his arms around me and pulled me closer to him. Anubis's phone goes off and we both jump back. He stands up and goes down the steps. I watch as he talks on the phone. He walks off towards the truck that we spent the night in. I stand up and look out into the field. I notice movement. At first I think it's a deer or some kind of animal. I scan over the area and see more. It couldn't be animals.

"Anubis!" I call.

Anubis looks over. I point to the field. He looks out and studies the area. He says something on the phone and then puts it away. I look at him. "RUN!" He says.

I stand there confused. I back up to the porch steps. He was walking fast towards me. I see him turn towards the field. His hands went behind him and he pulled out a gun.

"What's going on?" I ask.

"Sadie, get inside now." He demands.

"Tell me what's going on," I say.

He was at the bottom of the steps when it starts. Guns start firing. He runs up the steps and knocks me to the ground. I scream as pain surges through my back. Anubis managed to stop my head from slamming to the ground. I try to cover my head when I hear glass breaking. Anubis was above me covering my body from most of it. He manages to get the door open and he urges me to crawl inside. Once we get inside we get behind the kitchen. The guns stop firing.

"We need to move," Anubis says. "Get to the car in the garage. Lock the doors. Stay quiet. I'll be there in a second."

"What!" I say. "No! I'm not going anywhere without you!"

"Sadie please," Anubis says. He looks into my eyes. "I'll be right behind you. I promise."

He puts one hand on my cheek. I put my hand on his wrist. We sit there for a second and then we both move. He heads upstairs and I head to the garage. In the garage was a black Malibu. It had blackout headlights and taillights. All the windows were tinted. It was probably a few years old. I open the passenger door and get in. I lock all of the doors and sit and wait. I hear a few gunshots. I put the hood of my sweater up and try to blend in. I hear footsteps and then someone tries to open the car door. I hear a gunshot and a thud sound. At this point I was terrified. What was going on. A few seconds later the driver door opens. I look over and see Anubis. He threw our backpacks in the back seat. He looks at me.

"It's okay," Anubis says. "We're okay. I'll get us out of this." He turns the car on.

I put my seatbelt on and he starts driving as the door opens. We speed down the long driveway. At the end there were cars. People start firing. I close my eyes thinking were going to die. I hear the sound of bullets hitting the car. I open my eyes. Bulletproof. Anubis turns off the driveway down the hill in the grass to get to the road. I hang on to the door and my seat. Once were on the road Anubis gains speed. Now we are probably at 100 miles per hour. I look back. Cars were following us. Anubis makes a few turns down a couple roads. Once we were a few turns in he turns the lights off and stops the car. He turns the engine off and we sit there looking around.

"Anubis," I say.

He puts a finger to his lips. I turn to look out the back window. The cars drive right past. We sit there in silence for a moment.

"Sorry," He says. "Before this happened I was on the phone with my cousin. He said that we had a person working for Set and they gave away our location."

"Why were they trying to shoot us?" I ask. "Doesn't Set want me alive."

"They were probably trying to kill me," Anubis explains. "Set probably ordered them to. I wouldn't be surprised. He wasn't happy last time he saw me."

"What do we do now?" I ask.

"We drive until we can find a safe place to stay the night," Anubis tells me. "In the morning we will drive until we get you home. Limited stops as possible. Those were my orders."

I look down at the seat. We were on a race against Set. It seems more impossible than ever now. Set had someone working for him on the inside.

"Sadie," Anubis says. I look back up at him losing my thoughts. He puts a hand on my shoulder. "I'll get you home safe. I promise. No matter what." I put my hand on his and he leans over and kisses my forehead.

Anubis turns back and starts the car. We drive for a while. There was no one else on the road except us. We drive until we reach a small town. The light in the middle of the town was blinking yellow. I look out my window as we cross through the intersection. I see the lights of the car as it slams into the side of us. Anubis saw it before me and attempted to speed up. The car ended up rolling a few times and the driver side slams into a tree. I felt pain everywhere. I manage to get my seatbelt off and I reach for Anubis.

"Anubis," I say. He wasn't moving. "Anubis! Please get up!"

I hear footsteps. I keep screaming for Anubis to wake up. Someone opens my door and grabs my arm. "NO!" I scream. I call out for Anubis still. One of the people who grabbed me put what felt like a needle in my arm and I keep screaming hoping someone will hear me. I see the destroyed car with Anubis still in it. I wasn't sure if he was dead or alive. Then everything goes dark.

Anubis' POV

I was sitting in a room that was well lit by sunlight. It was the farmhouse. Sadie comes in from the other room. "Anubis!" She says. "You have to get up."

"What?" I ask.

"Wake up!" She says. "It's time to wake up. You have to help me."

"What do you mean?" I say. "Were safe. I told you no one can get us here."

"Anubis," she puts her hands on mine. She looks me in the eyes. "Wake up."

I open my eyes to a ceiling. I try to sit up. "I wouldn't move just yet." A voice says putting a hand on me indicating to stay laying down.

"Where am I?" I ask. I turn my head and see the guy. He was dressed like a doctor. I look around. I was in a hospital.

"You were in an accident. The paramedics found you unconscious and almost dead. You have some broken ribs and you had quite the blow to the head." The doctor explains.

I say. I try to sit up. "Where's the girl that was in the car with me?"

The doctor looks through my file. "It says here you were found alone. There was no girl. There was no one but you."

Set. His people planned the crash. They took Sadie. I need to find her.

"I need to go," I say. "I can't stay here any longer. It's probably been hours since the accident, right?"

The doctor looks at me. "It's been three days since you were brought here."
