Did the Vespers got to our heads literally or something?"
Short Summary of Story: Vesper One receives word that Evan is a direct descendant of Damien, then contacts Evan about it. In the Command Center, Evan receives an email from him to meet him at the park. He goes and meets his Uncle Jacob, who is a Vesper agent. He tells Evan about his Vesper relation, and Evan faints on the spot, that and Amy doesn't know he is one. He wakes up in a hospital room, and roams around the building. He bumps into his uncle again and he tells him that he is in Vesper HQ, and that he will be working away from the 'evil Cahills'. Evan agrees, since he thinks that his own girlfriend lied to him. He is now assigned to keep a close eye on the Cahills, and his uncle hands him a small letter V with a leather chain. His uncle gives him that for easier identification, instead of making him have a tattooed 'V' on his forearm. He is then escorted back to the Command Center.
Back at the Command Center, Ian wants to see what Sinead is doing, so he carefully passed by Saladin and arrives to the garage, panting. Sinead shows him her new invention, a special device for identifying Vespers. The invention looks like a gun, but has a small light on top and another instead of an opening for bullets. It scans a supposed Vesper for a small deposit of minerals, which could be found on a tattoo, burn, necklace or ring, and confirms it by the lighting of the small light. He then immediately borrows it, and tests it on Evan.
In a hotel in the next continent, Amy is on her bed, waiting for any message from command. Evan asks her for any updates, but she didn't reply. Dan walked into the hotel room where they are staying, and read an immediate message from Ian that says about proof of Evan being a Vesper by using the device he borrowed earlier, and to not tell him anything. Amy suddenly faints after the revelation. Dan wakes her up, but she isn't fine. She plans to 'kill' Evan, and Dan followed her steps.
Back at the Command Center, Sinead and Ian locks him in a cell, all tied up. Evan acts all innocent while Sinead sneaks some glances at him. Ian then comes in and confers with Sinead about how to confirm if Evan is really a Vesper. She tells him Amy and Dan are coming, and Evan feels a sense of dread growing inside him. Hours later, Ian valiantly guards the door to Evan's room, trying not to fall asleep. He then checks out his cellphone for messages, and finds out that they would be there in 30 minutes. After sending a message to Sinead, he hopes Dan still has ninja moves left, since Evan deserves every single one.
Back in the cab where Amy and Dan are, Dan feels concerned about his older sister. He then thinks about loathing Evan for being a Vesper, and using his charm to get Cahill secrets to Amy. He then realizes Ian has done the same thing before. He then rushes into the house and goes to the room Evan's in and karate-chops Ian on the head (because of Korea), his mouth hangs open in shock, and Dan discovers that Evan escaped with a note. Amy enters the room with Sinead, who told her about Ian being all "I told you so" and how it is annoying and hilarious, who discovers Evan's note. Sinead reads the note, which says:
"Dear Cahills (or should I say traitors),
You're probably wondering how I got out, being on the third floor and all. Well, that stinks for you. And yes, I found about Gideon Cahill's betrayal. I can't believe I never knew...
Tell Amy I say bye for good, and Ian, get a life. Lucky for you guys that jerk was smart enough to keep me from doing real research. Well, bye.
Sayonara suckers!
-Evan T."
After reading the letter, she looks at Amy and notices her bare white knuckles gripping the side table, looking angry more than anything. She then realizes that everyone's starting at her as she is, and ran toward the hall, tears in her eyes.
And here starts my what-if...(Warning: this may get a little OCC and a bit obvious of the plot, but hey, this is my first story...)
Amy's POV
Amy ran and ran...she couldn't bear what was happening. Evan...a Vesper? She was so traumatized. Worst than finding out about the first that destroyed their parents, worse that almost being killed in the Clue Hunt in almost every step they made...
"Why? Why does life have to be this cruel?" Amy thought to herself. "I finally have him, him, to comfort me after everything that had happened, now this? Why?"
She ran, up the stairs, into her room, shut the door and threw herself on the floor. There, she cried. She didn't care if anyone heard her or if someone was following her up the stairs. She was dumped then and there. At the letter. She couldn't even forget those lines...Tell Amy I say bye for good...At that memory, she cried until she was actually screaming at the top of her voice. She only realized after a few screams that someone was repeatedly rapping at the door, loudly even. Then a voice said,
"Amy? Amy! Come on, could we talk this out?"
She stopped crying. "Was it me, or was that voice was actually..." she said in a low whisper. The silky Britain voice, the thorn in her side she couldn't remove...Ian.
"Go away Ian!" she shouted at the door and started to cry again.
He knocked again. "Come on Amy! I didn't even do anything! I just found out, that's all..."
She felt dread creeping towards her. He just knew this now? But...
She remembered the text message. Him going to the park. Even lying about what it was all about. He was already becoming one of them. Amy felt the dread and guilt coming in, eating her alive. Then, Amy shook it off and shouted. "It's all my fault!"
Silence came over. Her dread and uneasiness left her as if they just spat the rest of her soul out. Ian knocked on the door once again. "Hey, are you still okay in here?"
She hesitated. Amy didn't know how to explain what she felt, or imagined. "I-i-i'm-m o-o-okay I-i-an." This time, she didn't care if she stammered. She was still recovering.
"Good. Listen to me. It wasn't anyone's fault that he's a Vesper. He's just confused like you were, when you and Daniel found about belonging to the most powerful family in history."
His words seemed to echo through her mind. ...you and Daniel...belonging to the most powerful family in history...
But, anguish filled her heart with rage. "Ugh! If we didn't even knew, I wouldn't be like this!" she spat. The door opened. "NO!" shouted, throwing a book at the door...

Ian's POV
...unknowingly going towards Ian.
He caught the book as it almost broke his face. "Amy, why not throw a book at that E-I mean, Vesper, and not me."
Amy turned her head and looked up. He was still holding the book, a leather bound dictionary, with his one hand. He stood at the door wearing a white shirt under a brown sleeveless vest. He had a violet scarf around a bandage that covered the part where she hit him earlier while in pursuit. Amy hung her jaw, but then shook her head, wept her tears and composed herself. "Sss-orrry Ian. I-i-i-i didddn'ttt know—" Amy started, but then ran towards him.
He threw the book away as the hugged. Ian knew exactly how it felt hugging someone in great despair. He and Natalie did the same thing in the limo while they were driving away from the court meeting where their former mother, Isabel, was arrested. He did the same thing also when he heard that his father was nowhere to be seen inside their mansion back in England. These painful memories washed away...and the only ones that remained were the ones with Amy. The cave back in Korea. The time they almost shredded Dan in the airport. And many others. He felt a lump in his throat.
Then, they both stared at each other. "Ian...I..." Amy shuddered at what they were about to do...then suddenly Dan came into view.
"Amy! Thank Grace I found you! What ha-" Ian heard Dan say, then a thump. He knew this while they were kissing, but he didn't have to see it to know. "Typical Dan..." he thought while he was having the best moment in his life.
"Two unlikely persons fell in love"
~
Dan's POV
He ran, frantically searching for Amy. When he heard her shout 'NO!', his Cahill instincts kicked in, and they were never wrong. It said, Amy. Room. Angry. Then, he ran into her room and he was greeted with the greatest surprise of his life...his sister and Ian kissed.
"Amy! Thank Grace I found you! What ha-" he tried to say, not noticing the scene in front of him. But then...
"AMY! WHAT THE-?" a very confused Dan said.
Amy and Ian stopped kissing, and looked at his brother, then back to Ian, then pretended to dust themselves off.
"Did you—and you—and him—kissed?" he shouted at the top of his voice full of shock, awe and exasperation.
"Uh...Dan...I...can explain..." Amy stammered, blushing almost as pink as the room was.
Now, at that moment, it was Dan's turned to pour out his heart out with the same word he heard before his sister kissed Ian: "NOOO!"
Before oblivion claimed him.

"Things never change"

Dan's POV
I'm just dreaming. I. Did. Not. See. My. Sister. Kiss. That. Kabra. Maybe I just hit a post or something. Ugh, like the Evan thing didn't shock me enough...now this?
Huh? Why can't I see anything? Hmm? I hear a voice, but it's faint. Who...
"Dweeb! Wake up dweeb! Hello! Earth to Dan Dweeb, do you copy?"
That voice...that very familiar voice. The person I've been stuck since I was just young. The person who remembers most about our parents. The bookworm-Kabra obsessed sister. Amy!
"Hey! Did you lose your sense of hearing or something?"
Dan woke up, shaking his head. He was actually lying in Amy's room. Wow, I can't believe it's that pink.
As he was regaining consciousness as fast as he could memorize anything, he looked at Amy. Then at Ian, with disgust. Then, back at Amy.
What in the world just happened? Did the Vespers got to our heads literally or something? Dan 'eye-talked' to his sister.
No dweeb. You just fainted...from what you saw earlier. Amy 'replied.'
What? No way! You-and-him...?
Yes, it's real. As real as how Evan's actually a Vesper.
He stood up, and went out of the room. "I can't believe it! It's actually happening! Kabra and Cahill are loving each other like crazy! No Ninja Dan. Stop thinking about them for a sec. We need to get to the bottom of Evan Vesper first before killing Ian by using some gadget," he said to himself.

"Great minds..."

Ian's POV
Oh no. Not one of those stares from these two. Seriously, I thought only twins could do that. Maybe it's the whole orphaned thing. It took a toll on them that they had to readjust or something. I still don't get it though. However, I. Never. Thought. Actually. Having. Amy. Mine. For. The. First. Time. Went. Great. I knew that Evan wasn't even her standard anyways!
"Ian!" Amy shouted. He snapped out of it, while shaking his head.
"Ah...Amy. Sorry. Got dazed in your 'conversation' that I did it to myself," he said as he regained his composure.
"Oh, okay. Excuse my brother."
"It's okay. I know he still hates me because of my mother...and everything else."
"Yeah. Come on, let's try to explain the whole thing to the little ninja-wannabe," Amy said as she helped Ian up.
"Yes. Let's go."
However, as they were going toward the still-empty backyard, they heard Dan shout, "GUYS! AMY AND IAN JUST MAKE OUT IN HER ROOM!" They both ran with a sudden sense of urgency, but Ian noticed his new girlfriend's fists clenched, as if she was a Tomas who was about to punch someone. She then ran faster than he was. I think the explanation would have to wait, Ian thought to himself as he followed her.

"...think alive when it comes to..."

Dan's POV
I have mixed emotions with the kiss thing. I shouldn't be proud of my big sister of actually...um, how'd you say...choosing Kabra to be her 'dreamboat', but...I actually am? What's wrong with me? Hmph...there's only one thing to do at times like this: Do. Something. Crazy. Anyways, where are we? Ah, yes...
I screamed at the top of my voice, "Amy and Ian kissed people! I repeat, A-m-y and I-a-n k-i-s-s-e-d!"
"No way Dan! They really did it?" Sinead asked out loud as she ran to the yard. Apparently, Hamilton and Jonah were following behind her, with puzzled expression on their faces.
The movie-star/rapper stopped and tried to catch his breath. "Yo Ham, I did—not just hear that right out of Dan's mouth?" Jonah said.
"Apparently dude, you just heard it from his mouth loud and clear!" Hamilton said in full shock.
While I bask in the shocking expressions of my cousins, I spot the two lovers now. Aww...Amy's so mad, I'm about to laugh at her almost tomato-red face! Reminds me of Ham's dad... Oh ninjas...I think
~
"...planning revenge."

Amy's POV
Ugh. I seriously hate my immature brother. Just because he saw me and Ian kiss, in full view, doesn't mean that he has to say it like it was a joke! Hm? What am I thinking? Why am I angry? Why am I defending something like this...especially...about Ian? Oh no, the feelings are coming back again... The cave-in...the kiss...him being too close for words...
I was running towards Dan, however, we were in the second floor, so we just ran in the balcony. I was so furious, Dan was laughing at me! "Dan! I know you just saw in full view the kiss of the Cahill millennium, but it doesn't mean you have to broadcast it in the entire neighborhood!" I shouted at him. He was still mocking me. "Ugh! Why is he laughing at me?" I said to myself.
"Um, Amy, you're so angry, your face is almost tomato-red." Ian said, trying to resist a chuckle. I punched him in the shoulder. "Ow! Sorry...you don't have to do that," he retorts. He looked at the yard, looking at Dan running around in circles like crazy, blurting our entire kiss to the entire world, then at Sinead, Jonah and Hamilton with hanging mouths.
"Uh, Amy," Ian said after he stared daggers at my brother. "The explanation might have to wait."
Then, a mischievous idea popped into my head. "I know Ian. Hey, want to tackle my idiot brother? You know, like how you really want to during the hunt?" What are you saying Amy? Are you actually giving up Evan? Well, he is a Vesper. So...
The last thing I remember is that I held hands with Ian before we tacked Dan by jumping off the balcony.
