Sadie's POV

***Week Two***

"Two weeks Sadie," I say to myself. "You can do this."

I set the marker that I use to mark the wall on the desk. I had already gotten dressed and eaten already today. Kyle was late. They always let him come in the same time each day but today was different. He wasn't here. I was in the bathroom washing my hands. I hear the door open.

"It's about time you show up," I say walking out of the bathroom. I stop when I see Markus. "You're not Kyle." Markus had his arms crossed. Markus looks at me for a minute. He was studying me. I crossed my arms feeling uncomfortable. "Do you need something?" I ask.

"I came to bring you to Set," Markus says. He grabs my arm and pulls me out of the room.

"Let me go," I jerk my arm away from him. "I'm not going to try to run."

"Yeah," Markus says. He tightens his grip. "Because you won't have the ability to try." I stop moving. He drags me. After a minute he pulls my arm and slams me into the wall. "I'm not patient like the guard's blondie," He says. I take this opportunity to slam by knee into his stomach. He releases me and I run away from him. I didn't get very far before he grabs my arm and pulls me back. I turn to face him and he punches me. I scream in a pain. I hold my hand to next to my right eye where his fist had hit me. He pulls me up by the arm and I walk with him. Once we get to Set's office, he drags me to a chair and pushes my shoulders down. "Here she is," Markus says.

Set turns around and looks at me. "What did you do to her!" Set yells. "I told you not to hurt her."

"She tried to run away," Markus says. "She also attacked me."

"Leave," Set demands.

Markus nods and leaves the room. Set looks over my injuries. Set picks up his phone sitting on his desk. "Bring me a bag of ice." He hangs up. He looks at my arm. "I apologize for him," He walks around the desk and leans on the front in front of me. "He has anger issues."

I roll my eyes. "Why do you care if he hurts me? You're just going to kill me aren't you."

"Yes," Set says. "But I don't want my son thinking I'm a monster now do I?"

"He already thinks that," I say. "He will when he watches you kill me."

"Anubis will get over it," Set says.

"Why do you ruin everything Anubis loves?" I ask.

"To teach him how to survive life." Set says.

A guard comes in and hands Set and bag of ice and then leaves. Set bends down and puts the ice pack on my face. He holds it there. He looks into my eyes. Anubis and Set had the same eyes. Set had hate and rage in his eyes. When I look Anubis in the eyes, I can see revenge and determination. Set thinks that he will break his son. It will just make him want nothing to do with his father. I missed Anubis. I wanted to be back at the farmhouse with him. I wonder what he is doing or where he is. I hoped that he wasn't looking for me even though I know he is. I want to let him know he's walking into a trap. I had to figure out how to get out of here before Anubis gets here.

"You look so much like your mother," Set says. "She looked just like you when she was 18. Except for the red in your hair."

"Anubis is lucky that he didn't get your looks," I say.

Set smiles. "You probably got your attitude from Julius."

"I don't know," I say. "I only see my father two days a year."

"And your brother?" Set asks. "What's his name?"

"Carter," I say. "What about him?"

"What's he like?" Set asks.

"He's a nerd," I say. "Just like dad."

"How is Kyle?" Set asks.

"Fine," I say.

"You two seem to be getting along," Set says. "That's good. We all need friends."

"Is this your plan," I say. "To let us get along."

Set smiles. "My plan is to make sure you don't get lonely. I want you to be as comfortable as possible in this place." Set reaches out his hand and places it on my cheek that I didn't have ice on. He pulls it back. "I'll have a guard take you back to your room. Until next time, Sadie Kane."

A guard walks in and I get up and go with him. Once we get back to my room, he shuts the door behind him. I put the ice down and go to the bathroom to look at the bruise. Right now, it was red. I thought about how Set reacted. He was mad at Markus. I wondered why he was so mad if he was just going to kill me later on. I guess it's because I reminded him of my mom. I hear my door open.

"Sadie?" A voice says. It was Kyle. "Are you in here?"

"I'm in here!" I call.

I walk out of the bathroom and he looks at me. His green eyes were filled with concern. "What happened to you?" He asks.

"Your father," I say. "He did this."

Kyle looks at my arm. "Did he also do that?" He asks.

I look down at my arm. It had a hand print on it. "Yeah, he had a tight grip on my arm."

"He's violent," Kyle says. "And careless."

"I can tell," I say. "How did you turn out so nice? Growing up with him I mean."

Kyle smiles. "Ruby Kane," He says.

"You knew my mother?" I ask.

"I was only eight," Kyle says. "She saw me in the hallway with Anubis when she was brought in. She saw us for a while."

"That sounds like a story you should tell me," I say.

Kyle and I sit on the bed.

**Kyle's Story (Kyle POV) **

Anubis and I walked the hall when we heard the door in the front open. We walk around to the lobby. We sat in the corner and watched as the guards brought someone in. It was a woman. She had blonde hair and deep blue eyes.

"Ruby," Set says. "It's nice to see you again."

"Set," She says. "Why are you doing this? We were friends. I have children. They need me."

Ruby glances at us and then looks back at Set. "Looks like so do you."

Set looks over at us. "Anubis," He says. "Come."

Anubis hesitates before he walks up to Set. "Yes," He says.

"This is Ruby Kane," Set says. "Ruby, this is my son Anubis."

"He looks just like Miranda," Ruby says. Ruby looks at Set. "You shouldn't have him here. You kill people here."

"He's going to take over this business when he gets older," Set says. "He might as well learn it now. Where's your daughter? They were supposed to bring her in to."

"Sadie is six years old!" Ruby says. "She had nothing to do with any of this."

"You can hide her all you want," Set says. "I will have her."

"You're a monster!" Ruby shouts. "I should have listened to everyone when they said to stay away from you!"

"I thought we had something," Set says. He puts a hand on her face. "Julius took that away." He stands there for a minute. "Take her away," Set says. "Also, find me Sadie Kane."

"No!" Ruby shouts.

The next day Anubis and I were wondering the halls. We enter the room with all of the kid stuff. Ruby was sitting in there.

"Hello!" She smiles. "Anubis is it." She looks at me. "What is your name?"

"Kyle," I say.

"You must be Markus' boy." She says.

"What are you doing here?" Anubis asks. "Shouldn't you be locked up."

"I should," She says. "Your dad needed someone to watch the two of you for the day."

We spent the whole day with her. We felt happy that she was around. Anubis had taken a nap. I sat there with Ruby.

"Why are you so nice to us?" I ask.

"What do you mean?" She asks.

"Everyone is so mean," I say. "But you're not."

"Being nice is the right thing to do," Ruby says. "Remember that."

"Who's Sadie?" I ask.

"My daughter," She says. "She's a couple years younger than you."

"Is she nice too?" I ask.

"Yes," She says. "Maybe you can meet her one day."

The door opens. It was my dad. "Ruby," he says. "Come with me."

Ruby smiles at me. "Remember what I said." Ruby gets up and walks with my dad. That was the last time I saw her before we watched her die.

**End Story**

"Set was looking for me then?" I ask. "Why?"

"I don't know," Kyle says. "He probably wanted to have the advantage on Julius."

"I remember that night my mom was taken," I say. "We were alone. Dad had taken Carter to the store with him."

"What happened that you didn't get taken?" Kyle asks.

"My mom hid me," I say. "We had this secret room in our house where Carter and I were to be put in if only one parent was with us. The other one would come get us if something had happened."

"They knew that Set would be looking for her," Kyle says.

"Probably," I say.

"What was he going to do if he had you at that age?" Kyle wonders.

"I don't know," I say.

Someone comes into the room. "Kyle," The guard says. "Time to go."

Kyle puts a hand on my knee. "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Bye," I say. Kyle gets up and walks away. I was left alone in my room to think about what Set's plan was. Kyle was a part of Set's plan. Kyle and I were pieces in Sets game.
