Chapter 1: The Beginning (Amy)
Place: San Francisco, California, US.
POV: Amy
Amy looked in the sky. It was a beautiful day. She felt lucky for the fact that she had a day off today, so she could spend it freely. Ever since the 39 clues hunt had ended, Amy had wanted to follow Grace's step. Of course, it's not like the 2 million dollars she got from the hunt would last her the whole entire trip around the world. So, the only available choice left was to get a job that had traveling around the world in it. Even though, the job was said to be hard to get it, Amy got in first try, thanks to the facts she learnt in the clue hunt, and her simply amazing researching skills.
Ever since then, she had been traveling around the world looking for artifacts. She had discovered many things regarding the Cahills she had never imagine, starting with Gideon Cahill and his old friend and later became his enemy, Damien Vesper. The only thing other than she that she found was that Gideon and Damien apparently had a fight. But, other than that, no matter how much Amy tried, she couldn't find anymore. It was like…, the truth was locked away from her, and didn't want her to know the entire truth of the Cahill family.
Amy sighed. Why was she thinking of such things on this beautiful summer day? She sat down on a nearby bench and started to think. The whole Clue Hunt now to her now seems like a dream. She had changed so much before and after the clue hunt. Amy also wondered, how would she be doing right now, she had just took the million dollars? They would definitely still be stuck with Aunt Beatrice. Would she have gotten the job she had now? Then she realized that she had been thinking about negative thoughts again, at the same time, it hit her, the place she wanted to spend the rest of her day at.
Amy hadn't gone for beach for awhile without getting in danger, so she decided to the famous Crissy Fields Beach she had her of, from her workmates. Even though it was summer, it was still cold for San Francisco. Although, Amy said she had wanted to go to the beach, she didn't exactly plan out what she was going to do there. If her dweeb brother was here, he'd definitely make fun of her for it. Without really bothering making a decision, Amy decided to just lay on her towel and look up at the sky carelessly. It was a perfect day. Before she knew it, she had drifted asleep.
"Amy… I wanted you to know… I…"
Any opened her eyes. A dream? That was certainly weird. What did that mysterious person want to say to her? Thinking back on it, the face of the person she dreamt about was very familiar. That person was… IAN KABRA? Why did she have to dream of him!? Amy immediately yelled in her head. She hadn't seen him, ever since the clue hunt…
As her job ended in San Francisco, Ian got more and more into Amy's mind. Amy didn't know what was going on; she didn't want to be reminded of Ian. What was this emotion she was feeling? During the Clue Hunt, she was bewildered a lot, but for the first time since the Clue Hunt, she was seriously confused.
