After I grudgingly pulled myself out of bed, I went into my bathroom. I took a quick shower, brushed my teeth, blah bah blah, normal morning routine. Then, I opened my closet and picked out my customary black jeans and combat boots. I decided to be a bit colorful and put on a red v-neck t-shirt. Yes, I know red is the color of love, very funny. Hmm, I thought. Should I just tell Carter now or after breakfast? My stomach rumbled. After breakfast it is! I opened the door to my room and started to walk down the stairs where I ran straight into Walt. Great, He looks as fabulous as ever in his green t-shirt and jeans. He looked startled at having run into me.
"S-sorry Sadie!" He said worriedly.
"Walt," I said with a slight smile. "How are you today?"
"I've been better, but it's alright." He said, sadly hanging his head. He was forlornly looking at the ground wait; no he was looking at my wrist. What's on my wrist? Oh Gods, Anubis's bracelet! I tried to nonchalantly hide my hand behind my back in case Walt tried to connect the dots.
"Well um, I better be going!" I said quickly and pushed past him, leaving him with an adorably confused look on his face. That was a close one, I said internally.
The rest of my trip to the kitchen was uneventful. Thankfully, I was the only one there so there were no more awkward confrontations. After I ate my bowl of cereal I wandered into the main room with our giant Thoth statue. A few ankle-biters were drawing on the ground while Jaz was reclining on the coach sleeping. What was I doing in there instead of talking to my brother, you might ask? Well, I was a little nervous; I just knew Carter wasn't going to take the news well. But, why does that matter! I thought angrily. I can date whoever I want. With that thought I abruptly left the room and went to find Carter.
After searching through the majority of Brooklyn House I realized that my brother must still be in his room. After going back upstairs, looking out for anyone, such as Walt, I arrived at Carter's room. Here goes nothing I thought ruefully. I knocked loudly on his door. He opened the door and smiled.
"Morning Sadie, What brings you here?" He asked pleasantly. My brother was dressed in his normal professor's assistant clothes.
"Can I come in?" I asked rapidly. Way to stay calm, I said mentally. My brother looked confused but, he opened his door wide enough to let me in.
I walked straight to a comfortable looking chair while he sat on the edge of his bed. I unconsciously started playing with my beautiful bracelet, twirling it around my wrist.
"Sadie?" He asked after sitting in silence for a minute. "What's wrong? And where did you get that bracelet?" He asked with brotherly concern.
"Anubis gave it to me." I supplied reluctantly.
"Anubis? When did you see him?" He asked with a slight angry edge to his voice. Whoa, not the reaction I was expecting. I haven't even told him about the relationship yet!
"Um, last night. I was dreaming when I appeared in a graveyard and he was there." I continued.
"Go on." Carted said.
"And he asked me to be his girlfriend! And I said yes. Happy?" I asked crossly. I didn't know why I was so angry, I just was. I stood up from the chair I was sitting in and walked to the door.
"No." I heard Carter say with air finality.
"Excuse me?" I asked as I turned to face him.
"I forbid you to be with him. Sadie he's thousands of years older than you! Dad will agree with me."
"You forbid me!?" I yelled. "You don't control me Carter!" I continued screaming as I slammed his door behind me. I can't believe Carter. He has the nerve to 'forbid' me from seeing my boyfriend. Ugh! I just wanted to punch something. Instead of acting on my violent impulse I decided to go to the nearest graveyard to see the one person who could make me feel better.
I stormed into the main room causing the ankle-biters to look at me with concern.
"Sadie?" One little girl asked hesitantly. I ignored her and continued toward the main door. I was about to open it when my path was blocked once again by Walt. He laid a comforting hand on my shoulder.
"Calm down." He said quietly.
"I don't want to!" I said childishly but, I didn't care.
"What's wrong?" He asked calmly, his eyes filled with concern for me.
"Nothing, Walt. I just need to go for a walk, okay?" I said while swerving out of his grip and out of the door.
Within minutes I was sitting on a patch of grass under a large oak tree in a graveyard. I took a deep breath and instantly felt more at ease. Yeah, creepy I know, feeling comfortable in a graveyard. I laid down and closed my eyes, enjoying the sound of the wind rushing through the trees. My hands were comfortably laid over my stomach one hand holding the other. I touched my bracelet and felt so happy and content.
I felt sleep about to take me over when I sensed a presence on the ground next to me. I smelled his scent. My hair was smoothly pushed away from my face and a gentle kiss was placed on my forehead. I opened my eyes slowly to see my favorite god kneeling next to me.
"Why are you upset?" he asked with genuine concern.
"Carter." I said curtly. My anger was starting to return. I sat up and Anubis laid me against him. I felt so safe and secure in his embrace.
"Ah, I suppose he didn't take the news well." He said tenderly.
"Not at all! He forbade me to see you!" I said, surprised to feel tears forming in my eyes. I will not cry in front of him. I thought resolutely.
"Are you going to listen to him?" The god asked.
"Oh gods no! I couldn't leave you, my dear Jackal?" I said with a slight chuckle. My eyes were quickly drying up.
"Good, I couldn't bear to be without you, my darling Kane." He said with amusement. "Shall we go see Lord Osiris, I mean, your father now or wait till later?" He asked, taking the subject off of Carter. I looked into his comforting brown eyes.
"Let's just get it over with." I said hesitantly.
He helped me stand up. We stood for a moment in silence just staring at each other. He took a step closer to me and suddenly kissed me. A small sigh escaped my lips as he pulled away from me, causing him to smirk.
"Enjoying yourself Sadie?" He asked pompously, the smirk still etched in his features. I punched him lightly on the arm.
"Let's go." I said, a blush starting to appear on my cheeks.
He made a portal appear. After grabbing my hand we stepped in. Time to see my father, I thought uncertainly, I hoped that this encounter would be better than Carter's.
