Fiske stared down at his niece, "Are you sure?"
"Yes I sure," Amy replied, her jade green eyes staring at the kids in the park they were at. Fiske continued to stare at her remembering how her mother had said the exact opposite.
No.
The word no normal Cahill or Vesper would ever say to the chance to be the next branch leader. When he had approached her about being the branch leader after his death he already knew her answer. He just did it as a fail-safe really, Amy even after knowing her ancestry still was never a normal Cahill. She didn't dive straight into the training Dan had started after the Clue hunt, preferring to go to the Library or stay in his office. The sign she was even a Cahill was the C pendent around her neck.
"You want to know why," Amy's voice startled him out of his thought's, turning to look at her Fiske saw that Amy was now standing and looking down at him, "Let's walk and talk, I need some more Hot Chocolate."
Fiske had to smile at that as he also stood, Amy would never drink any coffee or alcohol, ever. He walked silently next to her waiting for her to start speaking.
"You know some times I hate being a Cahill," Amy started, "I've ever wanted to be was normal person, to date guys and go partying, instead I have Ekat's on one side pressuring me to up my near prefect grades and the rest of the branches on the other side trying to make my choose you thing or another."
Fiske heard Amy sigh. They had already reached the stand and Amy was waiting for her Hot Chocolate. "There's a another reason."
"The Cahill history is so bloody, yes Madrigals aren't as bad but your still have killed to suit your needs. I could never be the leader of a group of people like that," Here Amy took a pause, "With Dan Vesper Heritage coming out and the attack's on the different branches recently well I just can't be the Branch Leader."
Fiske had stayed silent after her anti-climatic finish. He could see her points, "But is going into hiding really that necessary."
"You saw what happen not just last week when a Tomas had tried to turn down a department head position, A Department Head, and she was nearly beaten to death!"
He winced at that reminder of what happen last week. A young female Tomas had been found beaten just outside of Boston. The girl had been offered the head of the Tomas Department of Research, "Then you will be needing this."
Fiske handed his niece the folder he had. Amy smiled when she opened it. In it was a government file on her temporary name. There was a photo of a ebony hair colored woman that looked a lot like Amy next to was her new name: Faith Di Noir.
"Guess I better go get my hair dyed," Amy said looking back at her Uncle trying to hold in tears. Smiling at him she reached over and pulled Fiske into a unexpected hug, "It's only till things get back together."
" I know."
Amy let go and smiled at her Uncle one more time before turning to the road they had stopped at. Holding out her hand a taxi stopped and she got into it. Watching till her car was out of sight he turned and made his way to the car he had waiting for him. Getting in he ordered the driver to bring him back to the building where Madrigal HQ resided.
Now only how to tell the others.
Should I do a companion fic on what the Clue Hunter's reaction to Amy's Diesion is?
