Cahill Family Reunion
Author's Note: First of all, I apologize for the lame title, but at the moment it's the best I can come up with. This story is set up two years after the Clue Hunt, there are Vespers, but just pretend the Medusa Plot didn't happen. (And I'm gonna apologize in advance for the characters, they're a bit OCC)

Chapter 1
Amy's POV:
Amy gasped when she saw the size and splendour of the Kabra mansion. It was at least three times bigger than Grace's mansion, and twenty times grander. It was surrounded by beautiful gardens; the only thing ruining the picture were the ominous metal gates which they had just passed through. No wonder Natalie and Ian had found Alistair's mansion small! No, thought Amy as she mentally slapped herself, don't think about Korea! And don't think about when Ian kis-.
"It's a huge mansion, isn't it Ames?" asked Amy's adorkable boyfriend, Evan Tolliver.
"I don't think huge covers it Evan." She replied, while still gazing at the house in awe. To be honest, she had been worried when she had found out that the Cahill family reunion was taking place at the Kabra mansion. But now she was here, she felt fine; Ian couldn't bother her when she had Evan with her.
"Hello, love." said a silky smooth voice from behind her. She span around and met the amber eyes of Ian Kabra, the handsome, cruel guy who had broken her heart two years ago. She was never, going to forgive him, he had pretended to like her, and she, like an idiot, had fallen for it. She had trusted him, until he had trapped her in a cave and left her to die.
"Don't call me love!" she snapped as she glared at him.
"Amy, who is this guy? And why is he calling you love?" asked Evan putting an arm around her waist. God, Amy thought, guys are sooooo protective.
"And who might you be?" asked Ian with a voice coated in fake niceness
"He's my boyfriend, Evan. Don't worry Ian, he knows all about our family. What did you come out here for anyway Ian? To insult me?" asked Amy irritably, it was about to rain and she didn't want to be outside when it did. She also wasn't keen on talking to Ian for too long.
"I just came out here to tell you that you should park your car off to the side of the manor. And to show you to your rooms." Replied Ian
Amy was suspicious, since when did Ian do nice things like 'show you to your rooms'? But then again she was probably just getting overly anxious. Ever since the Clue hunt had ended and they had found out about the Vespers, she had been worried about a Vesper attack. And when one had happened in Switzerland, she had felt so unprepared, so weak so once she got back to Boston, she and Sinead had started training. She could now run long distances without getting too out of shape, rock climb and she worked out constantly in the gym in the basement. She was now also trained in various martial arts; she was sure that she'd be ready if the Vespers ever attacked again. But with a new regime came a new body. She now had muscles (not disgusting body-builder type muscles though) and it had also been two years since the Clue Hunt; she had grown up, she now had curves, her hair had gone a little redder and she had grown it out longer.
She could've gone on and on and on thinking about the Clue Hunt and the changes in her life if it hadn't been for her little dweeb of a brother: Dan.
"Amy! Wake up! We're going into the house now! You coming or are you just gonna stand there?" he yelled at her from the entrance of the house.
Amy turned a deep shade of red. Why, of all people, did her brother have to embarrass her in front of Ian and Evan! Did she just think of being embarrassed in front of Ian first? It's Evan who you don't want to be embarrassed in front of, she yelled at herself mentally.
"Thinking about a certain Cobra Amy?" asked Dan
If it was possible, Amy's face turned into an even darker shade of red.
"Er, Amy, who or what is the Cobra?" asked Evan. He looked sort of cute confused, with his eyebrows scrunched up and the look of total confusion in his brown eyes.
"Oh, that's just a nickname for the Kabras." Replied Dan nonchalantly.
"Like him, Ian Kabra?" asked Evan
Oh God, thought Amy, why does Dan have to embarrass me all the time? Why couldn't he have matured after the Clue Hunt?
"Good guess Evan, in fact exactly like Ian Kabra." Said Dan with an evil glint in his eyes.
"What's going on between Ian and you Amy?" asked Evan
"Nothing Evan, I swear, nothing's going on between us, Dan just likes to make fun of me because of this thing that happened two years ago." She said, ooops, she hadn't meant to say anything about Korea. Oh well, I've already been totally embarrassed, how much worse can it get? She thought to herself.
"What happened two years ago Amy?" asked Evan, he seemed to be on the point of a nervous breakdown
"Alan, stop getting so worked up, it's seriously unflattering. And nothing happened two years ago between Amy and me. Her brother Daniel is just blowing things out of proportion. Now would you like me to show you to your rooms or not?" asked Ian, he sounded irritated.
"His name is Evan, not Alan! But sure, show us to our rooms Ian." Amy said, she would do anything to get off the subject of Korea.
Amy, Dan and Evan went to the boot of the car and got their suitcases out. Uncle Fiske said that he would park the car and wait for them in the lobby with his bags so that they could show him to his room.
"Since the Kabra mansion is so big, everyone will fit in here for a week, but you're going to have to share rooms with other people, and since you are some of the first people to arrive, I'm going to let you choose who you share with." Said Ian as he led them through the endless main hall.
"I'll share with Sinead. "said Amy
"I'll share with Hamilton, and since Evan doesn't know anybody except for us and Sinead, he can sleep in our room too. "said Dan
Amy was surprised at Dan's choice. Not because he wanted to be with Hamilton, they were good friends. But he had let Evan share a room with him, Dan wasn't usually this sharing.
Thanks for letting Evan stay with him she said to him in their weird way of communicating without talking
Well I couldn't let him share a room with Alistair or Uncle Fiske could I? He replied
"Thanks Dan", said Evan, "Speaking of Sinead, do you know why she didn't come with us Amy?"
"That's because she wanted to see Ned and Ted, so she's coming here with Uncle Alistair" she replied. Amy couldn't wait to see Sinead again, they were practically sisters.
"Well here's your room Dan and Alan" said Ian
"It's Evan, but thanks." replied Evan
Ian led Amy down the corridor to another room. Ian had also changed since the Clue Hunt. He had grown taller, his hair seemed darker, and he had gotten handsomer-wait Amy, you're not supposed to think that! You have a boyfriend!
"Here's your room Amy. Oh and remember that there's a meeting in the main hall at five." He said
"How could I forget? You just told Dan and Evan the same thing." Amy said
"That's true, anyway see you at five. "He replied
"See you Ian." she said
He turned and left, leaving her alone in her room. This is going to be an interesting family reunion, she thought to herself, I just hope that I stop thinking that Ian is handsome, and more importantly-that no Vespers attack.
Except knowing that they were the Cahills, of course she would continue to start liking Ian again and of course the Vespers were going to attack.
