Hello again! AnnieRA here:D
Sorry for the late update... Schools just started. I'd also like to point out that, yes, I know this isn't the best chapter. I just couldn't find a way to put Nico in otherwise. Oh well.
I hope you enjoy and review!:D Please? I'll give you a virtual cookie!
Alllssssooooo I haven't done a disclaimer yet. Oops.
DISCLAIMER: Do I own TKC and characters? I WISH. BUT SADLY, NO.
Question you sent in-
Anubis-
- 1. What was on your mind when you first saw Sadie?
Anubis: Uh, who is this mortal with that cat? (Bast) When she actually started talking? She's pretty and I hope I never have her as an enemy. She could me into the ground.
Anubis here. Well, you already know about Sadie's friends so I figured I'd tell you about my friend. Well, the only friend I have who isn't a god, or Egyptian.
He looks a little like me, I guess and he has the same type of aura. Powerful and deadly. He's only 13 but he's got some wicked powers. He can summon the dead, just like I can. He always wears black and leather jackets, which match his hair. So it's fitting, I guess, that he's the son of Hades.
It was a regular Sunday in New Orleans, when I'd seen him last. I was hanging out in a graveyard and he decided to stop by.
"Hey!"
He caught me by surprise; I had not seen him approaching. I jumped probably five feet in the air, all while encasing him in mummy linen. I turned to see who it was and sighed. "Oh. It's you," I said while dropping the linen encasing him.
"Jeez," Nico wheezed. "And here I went thinking we were friends."
I smirked at him. "I told you not to sneak up on me. Us Egyptians are very paranoid, you know."
"I thought that was just the magicians."
"Well, yeah." I admitted. The House of Life was always on the lookout for gods like me, to imprison and basically destroy us. Well they had been, anyway, before Sadie and Carter had ex- uh, destroyed Apophis. [Yes, Sadie! I still won't say that word!]
Anywho, Nico sat down on the bench I was sitting on. He looked troubled for a moment before speaking. "Sooooo," he drew out the word mockingly, "how's Sadie?"
"She's fine." I couldn't help it; a small smile was brought to my lips. Even the thought of Sadie can do that to me sometimes. It's horrible, really. But I don't have much control over it. [Yeah, yeah. Ha-ri. There that should keep her quiet. Oh fine... Sa-hi. There she can speak again. Pity... Kidding, Sadie!] "How's you sister... Hazel?"
Nico looked down. He had flouted the 'rules of Hades' by bringing his half sister back from the dead. Unlike him, though, she was a Roman. "She's fine. Fitting in well, I've heard."
"That's good. How's everything else going... Didn't you say something about a missing camper last time we talked?" I asked. I wanted to know more about current events in the Greek and Roman world. I didn't visit those gods much, these days. Not like they would tell me anything, anyways.
"Oh... No word from Percy. Not that I'm worrying much. I'm pitying whoever is stupid enough to try to take him from Annabeth more."
"Annabeth..." I tried to place her with no luck. "The... Girlfriend of Percy, right?"
"Yep," Nico sighed. He ran a hand through his black hair before a small grin lit his face. "Speaking of girlfriends... How's Carter and Osiris taking the news of you and Sadie?"
"Oh. Well Carter seemed not so happy about it and Osiris blew me up with enough explosives to be a threat to small countries.. I'm not sure Julius had much say in that," I admitted. Nico looked slightly confused so I explained. "Osiris has always been big on 'don't date mortals, you're a god! You should know better!'"
"I see," Nico sighed. "At least everything worked out though?"
"Yeah, I guess," I sighed. Nico had a point. Even though it had taken a few days to get out of the Duat (only to find tons of souls that still needed judged, mind you) I managed to get Osiris to accept the fact that I was dating Sadie. I don't want to know what would've happened if he'd tried everything in his power to stop it. I just know it wouldn't've been very pretty. "No luck with Thalia, then?"
"Oh, haha, very funny," my demigod friend pouted. "She's still a hunter and still older than me. So no."
"Pity," I pretended to be upset about this obvious news. I knew it was never going to work out with Thalia for Nico, but the kid had a huge crush on her. I didn't really care much, but it would've been nice if something good happened to this kid for once.
He stuck his tongue out at me. "Can I meet Sadie sometime?"
His question took me a little off guard. I answered quickly though: "Probably not. Maybe."
"Aww, but you talk about her all the time!" [You are so full of yourself Sadie. That wasn't a complement, silly. Yeah, love you too.] "I want to actually meet her!"
Yes, it was a bad idea, but oh well. "Hang on a second okay?"
He nodded like a little kid hyped up on candy. I closed my eyes and focused. Slowly, I could start seeing Sadie, in the distance. Come on, close your eyes, I thought. Yes! She blinked and I yelled, "Sadie! Keep your eyes closed!"
She yelped, but came more into focus. "Anubis?"
"Yes it's me. Don't ask, this is complicated magic. Can you open a portal the graveyard I took you to when we first met?" I gave her puppy dog eyes.
"Oh, okay," She sighed. "I'll be there in a minute." She opened her eyes and disappeared from view.
I opened my eyes and told Nico she was coming. The kid looked simply delighted.
In less than a minute, Sadie Kane had arrived. I greeted her with a hug and introduced Nico. "Sadie, this is my friend Nico.."
"Hi Nico!" Sadie chirped. "What's up?"
"Not much," he replied. "So you're the great and beautiful Miss Sadie Kane Anubis never shuts up about?"
"Yep. He talks about me a lot?" Amusement was glittered in her blue eyes.
Nico smirked. "All the time."
I started planning Nico's funeral; it was going to happen soon if if I had any say at the moment. "Anyway, Sadie, Nico was so eager to meet you, practically jumping for joy when you said you'd come."
Revenge is sweet. Nico immediately started denying it, to no prevail. Sadie just laughed and said, "Well I am pretty amazing, aren't I?"
Nico and I rolled our eyes simultaneously. Yep, that's Sadie for you. Sarcastic, and self centered. [OWCH! I was only joking. Jeez, no need to punch me for a joke...]
Anyway are you expecting some dramatic, exciting event? Don't get your hopes up. It was a normal meeting between some friends. The most exciting thing any of us did was talk.
But eventually, I left for Brooklyn House with Sadie. The place seemed deserted, at first glance. There was no light flooding through the windows and no noise emitting throughout them either.
"They must've gone out for dinner," Sadie noted. I nodded and pushed open the door. Sure enough, no one was there. A little note was on the counter.
"'Left for dinner. Shouldn't be back for a while. Carter,'" Sadie read. She grinned evil up the stairs for a moment. Before I could ask, she dashed up them with crazy speed and came down holding a wallet. "This," she said. "Is Carter's wallet. It is filled with money. Pizza or Chinese food?"
So yeah. She's home alone (okay alone with me) for a minute and she's already robbing the pharaoh of Egypt. Great, just great. But I caved and ordered us pizza.
"Wanna watch a movie?" My girlfriend asked as she closed the door on the pizza delivery guy.
"Um sure. What movie?"
"Something scary, then." So that's how we ended up on the couch five minutes later chomping down on pizza and watching... You guessed it! The mummy.
I couldn't help but feel a little bad for some of the characters. But there's a reason you're not supposed to disturb mummies.
After about.. Oh, an hour maybe? I gave up. I couldn't help it at all. I burst out laughing. It was just hilarious! I mean, come on! The idiots just stood there screaming while the mummy attacked them! Seriously, how thick do you get? The just stood there screaming and pleading as he killed them. Idiots.
"What exactly is so funny?" Sadie asked. She was giving me the 'you are sooo insane look.' She gives it a lot.
"Well, they're just standing there while he kills them! They're to stupid to even try to escape!" I explained.
The look on her face over the next five seconds was absolutely priceless. She looked at me and turned slowly to the tv where another person had just been killed. She looked slowly back at me... And burst out laughing. "You are so right!"
I laughed even more. We laughed and laughed, until we cried. Eventually it wasn't even funny anymore, we just laughed because we could. Eventually it calmed down... Except... Well, the exact second we stopped laughing the guy screamed "LOOKIE WHAT I'VE GOT!" as he thrust the cat towards the mummy. That just set us off again.
And somehow, laughing led to kissing. And I can't say that that was a bad thing. [Oh shut up, Sadie.]
"Ahem," a voice behind us said 'coughed.' I jumped sky high as Sadie shrieked, "Tas!"
"Ack!" Carter yelped as he was suddenly bound in pink linen.
"Oh," Sadie growled. (It was kinda scary, actually.) "It's you." She unbound him with a simple spell and yanked her brother to his feet. She looked downright angry.
"Sorry," Carter grimaced. "But I didn't want any of the ankle biters walking in on you guys making out."
Sadie flushed red, and so did I. Carter was glaring at me and I took my cue to leave. I gave Sadie one last kiss goodnight and disappeared to the Hall of Judgement.
So, it's not perfect. But it's not bad either!
I hope you enjoyed it and review?:3 I'LL GIVE YOU AN VIRTUAL COOKIE!
