SOS? What else am I supposed to say? I was struggling with my two boy-crazy friends, Liz and Emma, who were trying to force answers out of poor Anubis (while thinking he was my long lost cousin Bob). Maybe some help from my brother would be handy just about now. I waited. No help came. The main problem was to "get rid" of my mates. This was going to be one tough problem for me.

"If you'll excuse me," Anubis (aka Bob) announced, "I have to be going now. There are still things I must do." Thank god he was the one who saved me. He leaned in and hissed into my ear, "Meet me at the cemetery."

Who went to a graveyard for a date? I didn't have a chance to speak. Not with Liz and Emma begging him for his phone number or another means of contact. Rolling my eyes, I waved to Anubis/Bob, then was about to excuse myself, when Liz sighed dreamily. "God, Bob is so hot."

"A god," I muttered, "Yes."

"Did you say something?" Emma asked me, looking just as dreamy as Liz.

"N-Nothing. I still have to finish my homework, so please excuse me as well!" Without another word, I took off at top speed, leaving both Liz and Emma staring after me, completely speechless. Not my problem.

My problem did become obvious, however, when I realized that I was lost and had no idea where the graveyard was. And especially since Osiris/dad now stood in front of me with a stern look on his face, holding Ammit the Devourer on a leash. This was becoming weirder and weirder, I decided. "Sadie," Osiris/dad beamed at me, "Thank Ra I found someone who can help me! I'm looking for Anubis. Have you seen him?"

"Anubis?" I echoed, wondering why Osiris/dad was looking for him. "Er, he was here a while ago. But he had stuff to do so he left. Yeah."

A glint of amusement appeared in his eyes. "What a pity. I was hoping he would take Ammit for a walk."

"A walk?" I repeated, just to reassure myself that I was still mentally abled.

"He deserves a break, you know."

"Oh, sure. But what would the other humans think?"

"Just a cute cuddly poodle."

I glared at him. "Hold on. If Ammit has dog-like abilities, shouldn't he be able to track Anubis down?"

"You're right! Well, I must go back. So if you will please take Ammit and go find Anubis, I would really appreciate it." He walked over to me and handed me the leash, which probably wasn't the wisest thing to do. Osiris/dad waved at me then vanished into thin air.

I looked down at Ammit, who was growling and struggling to pull free from the leash. "Well, Ammit. Looks like it's just you and me now. Time to go find Anubis before you cause a racket in town." At least I hope we will.

A/n: Well...that's chapter 8! What do you guys think? Like it? Love it? Hate it? Should I continue? Suggestions, opinions and ideas are welcome! :D And I've started reading The Throne of Fire, which is extremely awesome by the way! (Although let's say that I still think Sanubis is the best! I won't give you any more spoilers).

Thank you for your awesome reviews! I really appreciate them! :D Special mention to Child of the Moon's Shadow for the Ammit idea!
