You're probably wondering why I'm posting more than once a day. I have so many stories for Sadie and Anubis that I want to write. I'm going to try my best to get this one done so I can get started on another one. I think I have three other ideas that I want to use.
Anubis's POV
**Week Two**
We make it to the doors of Horus's parents house. Horus opens the door. "Mom! Dad! We're here!"
"Horus!" A voice says. It was Aunt Elizabeth. She comes out from around the corner. She hugs him. "I'm so glad to see you." She looks at me. "Anubis," She say. "You look like you need rest."
"I can't rest right now," I say. "I need to find Sadie."
"I know," Elizabeth says. "But you can't help her if your injured. Just stay here for this week, rest. Then next week you can get back out and look for her."
"Set will kill her!" I say. "I don't have time."
"I assure you," A voice says. It was Osiris. "Set won't kill her, he wants you to find him first. One week of rest will help you. I'm sure Sadie will be fine. If she's anything like her mother. She has things under control."
After a few more minutes of trying to persuade me I finally agree to stay. They did have a point. If I wanted to find Sadie, I needed rest. Elizabeth makes lunch for me and Horus. All four of us sit at the table. Once I finish eating. "I need your help." I say. I pull the notes that Set left me. Osiris takes them and reads them.
"So, you want to know where it all started," Osiris says.
"Yes," Anubis says.
"I'm assuming he means where he met Ruby," Osiris says. Osiris looks at Elizabeth. Elizabeth gets up and leaves the room. She then comes back with a photo. She hands it to me.
It was a boy, and a girl. The girl looked like Sadie. Around twelve years old. I knew it must've been her mother. The boy must be Set. They sat on the swings smiling at the camera.
"Set and Ruby," Osiris says. "They met in the park in front of our house. I don't know if the park is still there."
"What's the address?" I ask.
"We will give it to you once you've gotten rest," Osiris says. "You need it. I promise you, Sadie is fine."
"How do you know?" I ask. "She could be in danger."
"I know Set," Osiris says. "He's not going to hurt her. He took her and left you for a reason."
Osiris was probably right. Set had plans. If he wanted her dead, he probably would've left us for dead in the car. I did need the rest. Elizabeth shows me to their guest room. "I'll have Horus give you some fresh clean clothes to wear." She says. "I can wash all of yours."
"Thank you," I say. Elizabeth leaves. I head to the bathroom to take a shower. I looked in the mirror after I took off my shirt. My bruises were everywhere. My arm was bandaged. Probably stitched up. I finished removing my clothes then got in the shower. Once I was finished, I wrapped a towel around me. Elizabeth had left some of Horus's clothes for me. I put on sweatpants and a t-shirt. I pull out the necklace from my jeans pocket. "I'll come for you Sadie," I say. "I promise."
I hung the necklace on the lamp next to my bed. I laid down and decided to get some much-needed sleep.
After spending most of the week sleeping, I was well rested. I get up and look at my injuries. Some of the bruises had gotten smaller. My bandage had been changed. I pack my stuff and meet Horus in the living room.
"Are you ready?" he asks. "You look better than you did when we got here."
I put Sadie's necklace around my neck. "I'm ready."
"Anubis," Osiris says. He hands me a piece of paper. "Be careful, Set is dangerous."
"I know," I say.
"I do hope you can save her," Osiris says. "Ruby was the sweetest person in the world. If Sadie is anything like her mother, she's worth saving."
"She is," I say.
Horus and I head to the car. We were on our way to get to the place where it all started.
I stop the car. We parked outside the house that our fathers once lived in as children. Horus and I get out of the car. The house was abandoned. It had boarded up windows and it looked like it hadn't been touched for years. I looked at the park across the street. There were kids playing and chasing each other. I turn around and walk up the steps to the house.
"You think the answers are going to be here?" Horus asks.
"Yes," I say. I open the door. We both have our flashlights and walk in. It was an empty house. We split up and search it and meet up once were done. "Anything?" I ask Horus.
"No," Horus says. "Nothing."
I stand there thinking for a minute. "What about the basement?" I ask.
"I didn't check there yet," Horus says.
We both walk down into the basement. There were some papers sitting on an old workbench. I take it. 'Ruby Faust and Julius Kane become Prom King and Queen!'
"Must be a small town if this is their biggest story in the paper," Horus says.
I pick up another one. 'Randy Matthews kills wife Anne Matthews!' There was a picture of our grandpa and grandma with Set and Osiris. Then there was an envelope. It said Anubis.
Anubis,
The story is simple. Ruby Kane was my best friend. I loved her, she was the best thing in my life after my mother. Julius took her from me. Next, you need to go to the graves. Each grave has a has a piece of the answer. You must figure out what three graves they are and where they are located. Good luck.
Set
"Three graves," Horus says. "Who are the three?"
"Anne Matthews, his mother. Ruby Kane, Sadie's mother." I sit there and think. "Who else is significant to him?"
Horus thinks about it for a minute. "What about Randy?" He asks.
"Wouldn't he hate him?" I ask. "He loved his mother, he loved Ruby, it wouldn't make sense."
"Miranda," Horus says.
"My mother," I say. "Why?"
"She is the reason that you're here," Horus says. "Set wants you to be like him. That's why he killed her."
"Those three people are probably all buried in different places. We have no idea where."
"My dad will know Anne's. Julius Kane might know Ruby's. Do you know where your mom was buried?" Horus says.
"No," I say. "Her parents didn't let me go. They wanted nothing to do with me because of my father."
"So, you never visited her grave?" He asks.
"No," I say.
"I'm sure we can figure it out somehow," Horus says.
"Call your dad," I say. "We meet back in the car."
Hours heads upstairs. I look through the paper incase there was anything else. When I finished, I went upstairs and sat in the car to wait for Horus. A few minutes later he comes back. "He said that Anne was buried in the town graveyard. He doesn't know about Miranda either. He also doesn't know about Ruby."
We head to the graveyard. We walk through until we see the name. Anne Matthews. Loving mother and wife. There were fresh flowers. "Someone's been here," I say.
"Set?" Horus guesses.
"No," I say. "He wouldn't do that." I pick up the flowers from and take the paper that was attached. "It's a coordinate."
"Good," Horus says. "We're getting somewhere!"
"We need to make plans to go to New York," I say. "We are going to go see Julius Kane."
These chapters are probably going to be a bit shorter than usual but it's for a reason. Enjoy. Feel free to leave a review it's optional :)
