Bride of Anubis

He lifted the pillow and showed a scratch and his finger, "Your bird did that."

She frowned, "Its just a scratch your not bleeding are you? No I didn't think so." She turned, "If your gonna continue being mean to that poor bird I'm sleeping in another room."

"I was coming into MY room to sleep and HE came in an attacked me for no reason." he said casually.

"And why would he do that? He is a very sweet bird, he wouldn't do that." She started to walk off, "I'm defiantly not sleeping in the same room as you."

He appeared in front of her, "Have I ever LIED to you? Why would I lie to you now?" he said getting frustrated.

"Because your jealous." She said simply crossing her arms

He growled, "Fine!" he walked away.

She walked to her room, "Femi?" She called

"Yes Miss?" she came to her at once.

She smiled, "Do you have your own room Femi?"

"Yes miss I have, but its in the servant area." she said.

She smiled, "I bet its a very small room. You know what? I think I'll give you your own room here in palace away from the servants quarters."

"Oh thank you but I like being close to my sisters." she smiled, looking at the other servants.

"Your sisters...?" She seemed a bit sad she missed her own sister.

"Well, they are not my real sisters, they have been like sisters to me." she said.

"You alright miss?" she asked.

She nodded and smiled, "Yes, yes I'm fine."

"Are you sure? If I upset you I am sorry." she got worried.

She smiled, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

She smiled a little, "If you need nothing else miss I'll go." she bowed.

She shook her head, "I'm fine for now."

Anubis sighed in his room, "That little buzzard will pay." he grumbled.

Nefertari sat on her bed after Femi left and held her legs up to her body, thinking about her family for the first time in a while.

Anubis could sense sadness and he got up from his bed and followed it.

He found Nefertari in her room looking upset

"What is wrong?" he asked.

"Huh?" She looked up, "Oh it's nothing."

"No one becomes depressed for no reason." he leaned against the doorway.

She turned away, "I'm fine..." She said.

"Please Talk to me...i don't want us not talking." he sat on the bed side.

She sighed, "I said it was nothing."

He sighed, "Are you angry at me?"

She sighed, "No I'm not angry." She didn't want to tell Anubis for risk that she might hurt his feelings

"Please talk to me Nefertari." he tried not to sound desperate.

She sighed, "I was talking to Femi earlier and she mentioned her sisters. That made me remember my own sister."

He sighed, staying silent for a moment.

"You miss your family?"

She sighed, "Yes... A little bit, but thats why I didn't want to tell you. I didn't want you to feel bad."

He sighed, "..........If I give you a day in the mortal realm would you return to me?"

She blinked, "Off course. I still have three years here, I wouldn't shun you like that."

He stood, "I will then give one day in each year you are with me to see your family."

She blinked, "You'd really do that?"

"If it will make you happy." he said.

She smiled and hugged him, "Thank you."

I smiled and hugged her back.

"It can been on any day of your choice."

"Really?" She thought for a bit trying to decide, "I'm not sure when/"

"As I told you, it can be on any day you wish." he kissed her cheek.

She smiled up at him. "I'll have to think about it. Would you come too?"

"I can only appear in my jackal form, not my true self." he said. "Truthfully, the eyes of living humans, besides priests and pharaoh can see us."

She pouted, "That's too bad."

"It can be told to them through a dream, but it is still risky." he sighed.

She sighed, "Don't do anything that could hurt you."
