Authors Note: hi, thanks for your kind reviews. Now I must admit to something, I actually have 10 chapters done already. I'll Post them weekly (or round about that If I remember). I am English so I use English terminology and slang. (hopefully that'll help me writing Sadie as she's lived in England for so long. And as you see here I have combined chapters 2 & 3 together (I'm unsure about chapter 3 a bit, let me know if you like)

Also, I'm sharing this account with someone (she doesn't do much fanfic but she's like my editor) so It's Anubis writing this (hence the pen name Anubis-and-Sadie).

Chapter 2: Good morning

Bast lay stretched out on the bed as Sadie pulled on her camo-pattern shorts and one of her many band shirts. "you really think we'll find someone capable of being a godling here?" Sadie asked, looking out at the motorway, fields and groups of semi-built houses as she pulled on a pair of black socks.

Bast sighed, "you never know, we'll just have to wait and see. You've grown over these past 4 years Sadie, and not just in height" The cat goddess teased.

"Bast!" Sadie exclaimed, covering her chest with her arms.

Bast smiled at her "and this is Sadie Kane, what happened to you being 'fiercer than ammit'?"

Sadie looked into Bast's eyes "are you implying that I'm not?" she asked.

"That's better" Bast said, "now come on, lets get some breakfast."

Sadie nodded as they walked down to the kitchen on the first floor, opening the fridge and pouring out a glass of orange for herself and a bowl of milk for Bast. Looking out of the window at the cloudless sky Sadie wondered how Anubis was, If she would ever see him again, if he would still like her.

Just then the phone rang, waking her from her thoughts. sighing she went and picked it up from its dock, "Hello, Sadie Ka..."

"Hey sis" Carters voice came through the phone.

"Carter. What are you doing, where are you now?"

"I'm in Spain, how you doing back there in England?"

"Fine, nothing new yet, I'll call you when something does happen ok."

"Ok. err look, I really gotta go now, bye!" Carter finished, terminating the call.

Sadie put the phone back and sat at the table opposite Bast. "That was Carter, checking up on us again." Sadie said rolling her eyes. "I wish he would stop calling so often, Its getting annoying."

"It's only because he cares" Bast assured. "Its natural."

"Natural, Carter?" Sadie asked Bast, unconvinced.

Bast sighed, taking a drink of her milk as Sadie stared into space.

Chapter 3: arrival

Anubis stepped out into the graveyard, looking around he realised it must be morning, the sun only just starting its journey across the sky. Checking the scroll of papyrus he noted he was only a few streets away from the address he'd been given. 'Who am I supposed to be meeting and why?' he thought to himself as he walked up the stone steps to the footpath and road. When he reached the top of the steps he stopped, considering what his next step would be, it would be his first real step into the world of the living. He took the step, to his surprise nothing happened, no magical barriers, nothing. With that over he looked back behind him 'this is it then, the mortal world' he thought to himself.

Checking the address on his scroll he noted that the house was just around the corner. A shout roused him from his thoughts, he turned around to see a teenager dressed in a baggy tracksuit, a baseball cap that was off at an angle and some obviously fake jewellery. "what do you think your doing here, you think you've got a permit for looking like that?" the teen shouted at Anubis.

Anubis realised this must be an example of what Sadie called a 'chav'.

Anubis looked at what he appeared to be wearing, his usual leather jacket, tattered jeans and combat boots, perfectly acceptable, then he recalled that Sadie had said chavs would pick a fight with anyone different. "Look, I don't have time for this, so just back off" Anubis warned calmly.

"Yeah, your probably off to see that Kane bitch" the chav replied, confident he would quieten down the stranger. Anubis grabbed him by the collar, the chav's words igniting a fire of anger in him, "Never. Insult. Sadie Kane" he threatened.

"Or else what, you think your right 'ard don't you" the chav retorted, Despite being held by the collar oh his hoodie. He pushed himself out of Anubis's grasp, staring bluntly at the stranger who had dared touch him. He swung at Anubis, only to find his hand caught by what appeared to be a hybrid of a dog paw and human hand, It was shaped like a human hand except for being covered in black fur and having claws where the nails should be. Looking up from the paw he saw some sort of man/dog hybrid in front of him. "Next time, do as I say and BACK OFF" Anubis said with a growl. The chav now pale stared at him in fear, "wh... what are you!" he stammered, falling backwards.

"What do you think child?" Anubis asked, his voice darkening.

The chav just shook his head "No, no, its a trick, its all just myths, like all that Egypt stuff and crap."

"I am Anubis, and I am no myth!" the god declared. "Now run, or find out why I am the lord of funerals."

The chav ran as fast as he could, unsure if he was going mental.

Anubis sighed, returning to his fully human state. He looked across the road to the entrance of a small group of new houses, his heart jumping slightly, his mind racing. Had Osiris really sent him to see Sadie, did she request it or didn't she know?

He approached the house at the end of the street, a 3 storey town house tucked into the corner.
