Anubis woke up before me and saw the long cuts on my side. He got out some old clothes of his for me to wear and laid them out on the bed. I awoke and ate the breakfast he had made me. He later drove me home. When we got there I saw Mother were waiting for me outside the house.
"Bye Anubis!" I called walking toward my parents. As soon as I reach my mother she slaps me as hard as she can.
"What were you thinking'' She screams at me.
"I was thinking I could get away from this hell hole! I mean I don't even know who I am anymore! Who am I Mother, Who am I?!" I shout. My mother whispers something I can't hear as she turns away from me. Dad comes out of the house and cries
"Grandmother is in the hospital." I turn around as I feel my world collapse under me. My Grandmama is everything to me. I get out my phone calling Anubis. In the slowest minutes of my life he pulls up. I hop in his car and he speeds all the way to the hospital. Everything seemed to be happening in slow motion. Once I got to the hospital I run up to my grandmama.
"Grandmama, what happened?" I cry falling down beside where she laid. No response... It's all my fault... What happened to her, What the hell did she do to deserve this?!
"Caliana are you okay?" I hear Anubis ask. I turn around to find him behind me. He sees my eyes. They are the eyes of the dead, the hopeless, they are the eyes he once had. He gives me a comforting embrace. That is when I completely lose it. I can't think straight, I just want to stay in his arms for forever.
"Do you want me to stay Cali?" He asks pulling away from the hug. I can't seem to speak so I just nod. He kisses my forehead and sits me down in a chair. After about an hour he goes to find dinner. Before he leaves he kisses me on the cheek. I want him to stay with me forever. Once he leaves I grasp my grandmother's hand and talk to her. I eventually fall asleep laying my head on her. I wake up the next day to find my head laying on Anubis's lap. Around noon my family shows up. Nobody is crying. Just standing there laughing at something. WHY AREN'T THEY CRYING!?
"What is wrong with you people?!" I cry. They looked shocked to find me awake. I feel Anubis grab my arms as I try to stand up.
"Get out of my sight!" I scream as they start to leave. I lay there crying until I feel a tap on my shoulder. Anubis pulls me out of the room and brings me to the waiting room. I sit on his lap while he comforts me. Eventually a nurse comes up and taps me on the shoulder.
"Mam'... I am sorry to tell you this but your grandmother is dead." A nurse said. What?! DEAD! "HOW...WHY?!" I cry.
"She had a massive pulmonary embolism." The nurse said looking quite tired from a long night's work.
"What are you going to do?" Anubis asks once the nurse leaves.
"I don't know, can we go somewhere?" I ask
"Sure, where?"
"To the store."
"The Store?" Anubis sighs. He takes me out to his car and drives me there. The store is a place where normal people go in and once they come out they are never the same. Once we arrive I tell the people what happened and they gave me the books I want. We then drove to our field. Once Anubis left, I took out one of my razors and cut a deep gash out of my neck.
"AHHH!" I screamed. Blood starts gushing out of my neck. It all lands on the white flower. Our white flower is now red. Once I can talk again I start reading a spell out of the book. All of a sudden Grandmama appears before me looking younger than I have ever seen her.
"Grandmama! You're okay!?"
"Save me..." She screamed in pain.
"Grandmama, what are you saying?" I can not even start comprehend the pain in her voice.
"Save me!" She screams before crumbling into black dust. I wake up screaming in Anubis's room.
"Are you okay, do I need to call an ambulance, What can I-" I interrupt him with a kiss. That seems to stop his panic attack.
"Will you come with me?" I ask.
"Where, What's happening?" He asks still in a daze from getting a kiss.
"Okay, this is going to sound crazy but, my grandmother might need my help."
"Cali you're insane. But, I would follow you anywhere."
"Even to hell and back?" I ask sincerely.
"Even then." He replies. I know he means it.
"Okay then the first stop to hell is my Mother's house." I say.
"No kidding." Anubis chuckles.
