Bride of Anubis

Anubis stormed in, "WHERE IS SHE!?" he roared.

He sighed, "I'll tell you again. SHE. IS. NOT. HERE."

"How come I do NOT believe you?" he growled.

He sighed, "Very well then don't."

He growled, "Than answer me this, why are you so determined to take her from me!?"

He grinned, "Cause its fun to watch you squirm."

"You will leave her alone! She has done nothing to you!" he glared.

He sighed, "Fine, fine what ever."

ANubis sneered, "If I find YOU were behind this, I will cut you into pieces."

He raised an eyebrow, "And how will you do that I ask? I am immortal."

"You know what I am capable of Set..." he aid with a deathly stare, "You better hope I do not find out." he walked out.

He yawned, "What ever."

Anubis regrouped with Thoth, "I searched everywhere, I think she is there somewhere."

Thoth sighed, "Are you SURE you searched EVERYWHERE."

"I have a feeling she IS here, I thought I heard her, but then it vanished." he rubbed his templed, "We need to do this quietly."

He nodded, "Now your thinking." But Set already knew he was coming. One of his spies had info. But before Anubis could get there he set Nefertari back home.

Anubis and Thoth looked HIGH and LOW, but there was no sign of her at all. "I SWORE I heard her Thoth."

Thoth sighed, "Just go home for the night and we'll search again tomorrow."

"I'm too worried to rest." he said.

Thoth sighed, "Just go home." He urged.

He sighed heavily and headed to his palace.

When he came back he found Nefertari asleep on the bed.

"What!!??" he shouted, "Nefertari!!" he shook her awake.

"Huh? WHA!" She said startled. "Oh Anubis..." She sighed in relief, "You startled me."

"Where did you go?! I was looking for you for hours!" he demanded.

"I-I don't know." She said startled by his roughness.

He sighed, "FOrgive me. I'm not feeling well." he went to his chamber, "Excuse me."

She nodded, "Good night."

When he was out of ear reach, "Set....he is trying to get me to break down! Well... I am NOT letting him get his way!"

He didn't know that Nefertari was listening from behind, "Anubis?" She stepped out worried. "Are you okay?"

He flinched, "I-I'm fine. Set has just been getting on my nerves."

"It's my fault? Isn't it?" She looked at him with sad eyes.

"No it is not your fault. I never said it was." he said lifting her chin, "Do not be sad, I am fine."

"She wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his chest. "Btu I cause you so much grief." She started crying.

"I am fine. You are not a problem for me. It is Set causing my grief!" he growled the last part.

"But I am the reason he is doing so." She exclaimed

He sighed, "If we were married, he would not be able to touch you." he growled.

She shook her head, "I knew it was my fault." She ran off crying.

"Nefertari!" he called out, "Its not your fault." he said quietly.

The next morning he couldn't find Nefertari anywhere. When he asked Femi she told him she had gone to see Osiris.

Anubis nodded, "I will attend to the main palace." he went to get dressed.

He caught up with Nefertari before she reached his palace.

"Nefertari!" he called to her, "Why are you here?" he questioned her.

She looked away, "I should have died a long time ago."

"Do not say that!" he said grasping her hands, "I do not ever want to hear that again!"

"But it's true!" She exclaimed.

"I did not want you to die then....I do not want you to die now." he kissed her hands, "I care for you too much to lose you now."

She started weeping, "But it would have been better. You wouldn't always have to chekc on me to make sure im alive."

"Set is wanting you to feel that way. Do not let him win." he pulled her into his arms, "Please...stay with me." he voice was calm and soft.

"But I don't belong here." She said
