Bride of Anubis

"As the god of Death, I am to have very little sympathy. You should know this." he started to head back to work, "Plus, she denied not going to rescue Nefertari. SHe deserved every word."

Isis slapped him, "You are cruel, I granted her time to recover! How will Nefertari feel to here that you were cruel to her aunt? He family has been high priests at your temple for many generations!"

He sighed and frowned, "The people are dying!! ANd she does NOTHING!"

"Because she is ILL! Her legs don't work so she can't go out into the streets. Her advisers do! They tell her lies."

"ANd that is why I had to tell her. And when those advisors do die, I'll bring my full wrath on them." he walked off, "Now excuse me I have a lot of work to do."

Isis sighed and shook her head.

After a long days work, Anubis returned and sighed, "I am much too tired now." he headed to his bed chamber.

Nefertari gave a note to one of the maid girls to give Anubis. The girl gave it to him as soon as he got home. She waited in the garden for him for hours. She was crushed when he didn't show/

He didn't see any maid on his way to his room. He fell asleep.

Nefertari sat there waiting and waiting till it was almost midnight. Her eyes welled up with tears and she ran off to Hathors

Hathor was tending to the plants outside her palace, "Ahh, lovely evening."

"Hathor!" Nefertari called crying.

"OH no, what happened?" she asked.

"Anubis is what happened!" She cried. "I sent Anubis a note to meet me in the gardens for dinner, and he never came."

"OH that moron." she sighed, "COme along my dear, lets go inside."

She nodded and fallowed.

Later, Anubis woke up. "Uhh, why do I feel like I missed something?"

He realized that Nefertari wasn't there.

"Nefertari?" he left his chamber and went looking for her, "Femi, where is Nefertari?"

"She went to Hathor's. She was rather upset when she left." Femi said.

"AHH! No wonder I had that feeling! Thank you Femi." he headed straight to Hathor's palace.

Hathor didn't seem to happy when he arrived.

"What happened? I heard she was upset." he was oblivious.

"Yes, at you!" Hathor huffed. "She sent you a note wishing for you to meet her in the garden for dinner. She waited for hours, but you didn't show! So she came here crying!"

"But I never got I note." he said, "I was never given one."

"Well didn't you go back to work?" Hathor asked

He sighed, "I had a full on day today and I left earlier. Who was supposed to give me the note?"

"Thoth."

"I didn't see him after I left. So I never got the note, but I didn't mean to leave her waiting." he said, feeling a bit stupid.

"You should've gone to find her after you got home like you normally do." She huffed

"I-I-I...fell asleep."

Hathor seemed a bit annoyed.

"Let me talk to her and I can make it up to her, please." he begged her.

She sighed, "I don't think thats a good idea right now. I finally got her to clam down and go to bed

He sighed, "Tell her when she wakes up, I will be waiting for her...and that I am sorry." he walked away.

She sighed, "I will."

He felt like such an inconsiderate fool, he said he would do what she wanted after he returned, and he got so annoyed from earlier he forgot.

After a few hours Nefertari came home.

He waited in the throne room, not wanting to seem like h was being overly anxious at the front of the palace.

He saw her, "Nefertari..." he called to her.

She sighed, "Hello Anubis."

"I....I do not have an excuse for not showing up." he looked to the floor, "But I am willing to do whatever you say to make it up to you."

"How?" She sighed.

He sighed and knelt in front of her, "I will crawl around like a dog, I will do ANYTHING you wish, just please do not be angry with me...I can not bare the thought of you angered with me..." he said looking to the floor.

"Then tell me why you didn't show."

"It was....more than busy in the underworld. Many people have been dying and I was over-run. I had to go to the human world to finds out what. I did and when I returned I was tired and headed home. Travelling between worlds takes energy. I never et up with Thoth after that and I went home early and went to bed." he explained.

"Really? So you didn't forget about me?"

He sighed, "I am not going to lie, yes....I did forget... BUT I still want to do what you want. I did mean it Nefertari. My mind just got stressed."

She blushed a little, "Okay..."

He blinked, "Why are you blushing? Are you sick?"

She shook her head, "No I'm fine. A little embarrassed that I jumped to conclusions, but fine."
