Sadie POV

We stepped out of the portal and guess who was there to greet us? *Gasp* It was Carter, what a surprise. But what Carter did next completely took me by surprise; he grabbed his khopesh and placed it in front of Anubis' neck.

The look he gave me was so poisonous; I thought he was going spear me with the khopesh as well. "What are you doing here?" he spat at Anubis, and then he looked at me with a scowl, "Where have you been? Who said you can go with him?" he asked me in a tone so full of fury and resentment, it would make any adult cry. I was about to retort but I remembered what Hathor had said so I decided to say one thing; "You did." Carter looked at me in shock, "What do you mean 'you did'? he asked. "I mean, that when we had our little spat, you told me to go 'run along with your little boyfriend'." I explained to him, I could see Anubis' face turn as red as a rose.

For a moment, Carter was absolutely speechless but after a second of silence he spoke, "I didn't mean…I…I-"he stuttered, he was truly tongue-tied. "Carter, I'm sorry." Anubis said in a soft and quiet tone, Carter looked at him the scowl on his face was softening every minute. Carter looked into Anubis' gorgeous brown eyes for a full five minutes, then he removed the khopesh from its place, Carter sighed and turned to me, "Sadie…I'm sorry. For everything." He said in a truly apologetic tone. I walked up to Carter and hugged him. I let go and Carter turned to Anubis, "We'll talk later." Was all he said. I was afraid that Carter would spear Anubis with his khopesh or Anubis might send some killer toilet paper and strangle Carter with it, but the look Anubis gave me told me that everything will be alright. I certainly hope so.

Anubis POV

After Sadie left for her room, Carter grabbed me by the shoulder and dragged me to his room. I had a terrible feeling that this would be a very embarrassing talk. Unfortunately, I was right.

"Anubis do you love my sister?" Carter asked, though it sounded more like a threat to me. "I…I, yes, I…do." I answered, I was quite shocked at what I just said, and it was true I do love Sadie, every single thing about her but to openly express this to her brother…that was shocking and embarrassing. Carter looked at me with a weird expression, it was like a mix of curiosity and doubt, "Okay. Well…I just want you to know why I'm acting like this, you have to understand that any brother would feel overprotective if his sister was dating a 5,000 year old god. I just want you to understand." He told me in a slow, cautious tone. I flushed at what he said. "I want you to know that I'm okay with you and Sadie…getting together. Just don't let me catch you kissing her in the hallway or something, you know in public." Carter said in a firm and strict voice. I flushed even harder. Then we heard a knock on the door, Sadie came in dressed in her pyjamas. Okay, she still looked gorgeous even with the pyjamas. She looked at me then Carter with a fearful expression in her face. Carter sighed "It's okay Sadie…I let him off the hook." He told her. Sadie sighed in relief and ran to Carter giving him a hug, then she ran to me almost giving me a kiss but Carter cleared his throat, "ehem…" he said in a warning tone. Sadie blushed, "I better be going…" she said turning red. I followed after her but Carter grabbed my shoulder, "Oh and Anubis…take care of her. She may be annoying but she's the only sister I've got…she's everything to me, okay? Remember, if I ever hear that you've hurt her in any way…you'll be sorry." He said in a threatening voice, then he let go of my shoulders and closed the door. I ran to Sadie's room, she was on her bed listening to her i-pod and staring at the poster she had of me. She saw me then blushed bright red, she ran to her closet and shut the door closed. "May I ask why you even have that picture?" I asked her curiously. She turned even redder, "I..I…it's n-none of your business on why I have a picture of you in my closet.' She said in a sharp tone. I smiled, "You still owe me a kiss." I said in a teasing tone, Sadie smiled, "I might oblige to that." she said. She walked closer to me and leaned in, her soft lips touching mine for a brief 3 seconds. I could still hear Hathor singing a part of "The Rainbow Connection":

Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection.

The lovers, the dreamers and me.

All of us under its spell.

We know that it's probably magic.

Sadie cast me under her spell and I fell for it. She was my "Rainbow Connection" and I wanted it to stay that way for as long as it takes. Osiris was right, Sadie is one special girl, and if there's one thing that I would never regret…it's when I met Sadie.


Thank you everybody for the never-ending support! This is the end of the sequel, I truly hoped you have enjoyed it.*sniff* :( Don't worry, I'll be writing some one-shots of Anubis and Sadie after this sequel has happened. :D So watch out!:) Once again, thank you! *crying out of joy and sadness*
