Ch37 Oh my god

Two weeks had passed since the wedding and Thomas was still annoyed, I no longer attended the weekly meetings, which I didn't care about at all, I mean I had better things to do than talk about what was wrong in the coven, but then again as queen I needed to know if anything was wrong, so I decided to ask people myself instead of relying on reports from the council.
Damon and I were walking hand in hand towards home when I saw something that caught my eye
"Wow, do we look like that?" I asked pointing towards a couple a few yards away
"Like what?" Damon asked, looking in the general area of where I was pointing
"Like them, he looks really old, and she looks really young, I mean no offence but she looks young enough to be his daughter" I put my hands up in surrender motion towards Damon
"Please tell me we don't look like that" the man was looking at me, as I caught his eye, he looked confused but he carried on walking with the girl
"I think you saw a ghost couple, coz I don't see them" Damon announced, the couple were gone "but don't fret because I've been told that we make a really cute couple" I was pleased about that
"You can see me" I stopped abruptly as a man walked in front me, the same man from before
"Hey, why'd you stop?" Damon asked, confirming that this man was, in fact, a ghost
"Ghost" I told him, to which Damon nodded knowingly
"No, not ghost" the man told me, he was obviously in denial "I'm not in denial, I can't be ghost because that would mean I died, how can I die if I was never born?" The man asked, now I was confused
"Ok look, no one else can see you, except me, which means you're dead, I'm sorry, truly I am" I told him but he shook his head
"I am Anubis, the God of death, you are a witch, with the ability to drink blood, and your mate is a vampire with the ability to blink, it is you, is it not? You are the queen of the seven kingdoms, are you not?" he asked.
"Ok, you handle your ghost I'll see you at home" Damon told me letting go of my hand the 'god' stood in front of Damon and waved his hand slowly in front of his face "woah, Anastasia is your ghost wearing white? All white?" Damon sounded scared
"Yes" I whispered, as I couldn't find my voice, I swallowed hard but still couldn't get my voice out
"Why can I see him?"
"Because Damon Salvatore, I am not a ghost, I am Anubis, the god of death"
"God? God of death? Does that mean one of us is dying?" Damon squealed, Anubis chuckled
"No, I gave you the ability to see me, it's easy" Anubis told us
"How did you know who I was?" I asked quickly as I found my voice
"Because, Anastasia, we have met before" Anubis told me, "of course you looked different" he shrugged "but then again, you looked different every time I saw you"
"I think I would remember meeting a god" I laughed
"Not if you met me in death" he told me sadly, my laughter died too, "After every time Jonah killed you, you met us before you came back to life"
"Us?" I asked, who else had I met?
"Not my place to say, but I'm sure you will see him again" Anubis smiled
"So why are you here? Now, I mean?" I asked
"You saw me before, with that girl, she had died, I was taking her to the afterlife" Damon and I looked at each other I remembered what I had said and I looked away
"So how many times have we met?" I wanted to change the subject, fast
"Ohh so many times, the first time we met you were Evangeline" when he revealed this I gasped "you didn't know?" He asked
"I had my suspicions" I told him truthfully, he nodded
"You kept asking if your husband was okay, ohh you loved him so much, and when I finally met him I found out how much he loved you as well, you had a happy life together" Anubis looked towards Damon "this, you must understand, happened over six thousand years ago" Damon nodded, and smiled towards me as if to say he was ok with this revelation.
Anubis had a soothing voice, I supposed that God's must.
"Maybe we should go back to your house and talk some more, if that's okay with you?" He asked looking towards both me and Damon, we nodded, I held out both hands for both men to take
"Do you want to do the honours, or should I?" I asked Damon about blinking, but before he could answer he gasped, we were home, Anubis had bought us home without holding our hands
"God's do not blink" Anubis assured "we just wave a hand" he demonstrated by waving a hand and a table with three glasses appeared, the glasses each held golden liquid "Drink?" Anubis asked to which I replied by taking a glass, Damon and I both took a glass and said thankyou
"I've never had golden coloured Bourbon before, it's delicious" Damon declared
"What are you talking about? It's not Bourbon it's beer" I told him, Damon and I looked at each other, then both of us looked towards the God asking him silently what this drink was, Anubis smiled
"The drink is from the heavens, it is whatever you want it to be" he was smiling at his own explanation, I smiled too.
"Now, where were we? Ahh yes, we were discussing your deaths, all the times you died, you really were not supposed to die that many times, but alas it happened, time to move on, and think about the future, what are your plans Anastasia?" Anubis talked so fast that when he stopped I took a breath.
"Well I banished Jonah, his daughter is running the covens he was running, but don't worry I still own the kingdom" I explained quickly, raising my hands in surrender motion near the end, as if to say please don't get angry
"What are you talk.....? Ohh no, Anastasia seven kingdoms doesn't mean... ohh, please sit, I have some explaining to do" Anubis pointed towards the leather sofa, and Damon and I sat down without argument, with a wave of his hand Anubis created a chair in front of us, a very comfortable looking chair with a wooden frame, and gold fabric, it was a very beautiful chair, he sat down, he leaned forward, towards me, with his elbows resting on his knees. "The seven kingdoms does not mean Asia, Africa, north and south America etc etc, it means your creations, the kingdoms, the species that belong to you, witches, vampires, werewolves, lycans, unitaurs, of course unicorns..."
"Unicorns? I created unicorns?" I asked disbelieveingly
"No, you didn't, but after you created the Unitaurs, the unicorns were so happy they swore their allegiance forever, they promised that even their decendents will never leave you" Anubis explained, I just nodded, not knowing what to say.
"That's six" Damon piped up, I looked at him, not knowing what he meant, "the kingdoms, you mentioned six, what's the seventh?" I counted the kingdoms in my head and I realised Damon was right, there were only six I looked at Anubis expectantly, he smiled with a nod
"Ghosts" he announced I looked around expecting to see ghosts, "the seventh kingdom is ghosts" Anubis explained to which I raised my head as if to show that I understood.
"Wait, but ghosts? How am I the queen of the dead?
"Just like you are the queen of the living, you are the queen of the dead, you can compel them, command them, and when the time comes the ghosts will be part of your army, as will the other kingdoms" I gasped at this "you have already won the hearts of many, Anastasia, but there are some that do not like you, that want you gone, it is them you must now win" this worried me, how do you win someone? "Worry not child, when the time comes you will win them over too, just do what you do, now I am sorry, my children, but I must leave" Anubis stood, I stood too
"Wait, I have so many questions" I told him worriedly, to which he smiled
"My child" he held my shoulders "I am always with you, all the Gods are, we all watch over you, if you must talk to us, just close your eyes and think, we will be there" I automatically closed my eyes, when I opened them the God was gone, tears fell from my eyes but I didn't know why, Damon came to me and hugged me, I hugged him back, I still didn't know why I was crying.
When I let go of Damon we were sat on the sofa. It all came back, what Anubis had told us, I wasn't queen of continents, but people, and ghosts. I smiled at that
"Penny for your thoughts?" Damon interrupted my thinking, I looked at him with my brows furrowed "you were crying, and now you're smiling, I want to know why" he shrugged, I shrugged too
"I control the ghosts, i think thats going to be epic" I smiled menacingly, Damon laughed out loud at that, we both did.
