PART FOUR: Make Sadie meet Anubis's lookalike: Nico di Angelo

There are 17 comments (that aren't spam) on the previous chapter!Shoutout to @flameshine19, the one who gave me the dare you are currently readings and the one who commented so much.

I know it's a week later than I said I would update but...
1. You guys didn't get it to 4 votes...🙁
2. I went camping for 9 days and didn't have good connection. Really sorry about that. But good news: you have an update now!!!

This is part four of the following dare:
Annabeth should make Nico and Sadie meet each other and not introduce one another at all and not let them introduce either. (This is just to see Sadie's reaction to Nico since he looks a lot like Anubis).

Also, I have a question:
Which "scene" separator should I use? I've used a bunch and am not sure what I prefer so what do you guys think???

This: *******
This: ~~~~~
This: ............
This: ₪₪₪₪₪
Or if there's something else you'd prefer!

Let's get into it: enjoy!

Nico and I sat under the shade of a tree, listening to the water hit the coast. It had been twenty minutes and Sadie still wasn't back.

I felt horrible. Her eyes were filled with shock and horror. She was terrified. Of what? Something to do with Walt.

Though Sadie and I were friends, we didn't talk or meet up very often since I was still part of the Greek Pantheon and she of the Egyptian one. Though Greco-Egyptian magic apparently exists, so do monsters (did anyone not read Demigods and Magicians?) and it wasn't safe for us to mix too often. We mostly texted and every once in a while would meet up.

That being said - I didn't know much about her. I knew that her boyfriend was two guys together... merged together or something? One was a god - Anubis - and one was a normal guy - Walt - and she was dating him... them? Two guys in one body... why'd she run off then? What happened to Walt? I wish we were closer... then maybe I'd know...

She wouldn't answer my calls or see my text messages. It's not that she was ignoring me. It was that she was "busy" or something. But with what?

I decided to tell Nico everything I knew. That he looked a lot like Anubis. That Sadie was dating Anubis... and Walt. That Anubis and Walt had merged because they both loved her and neither of them could be with her due to the fact that one was dying and one was the god of death. They had merged so that Anubis would have a host and walk the earth as he couldn't as a god without one and so that Walt wouldn't die...

And that's when it hit me. Gods was I stupid! If she sees Anubis... unmerged with Walt... she thinks Walt might die!

So I opened my phone, looked at my previous messages with horrible guilt and added one to the string of them.
