~Prologue~

Excitement flooded inside of me as I finished reading the last chapter in Vesper's Rising. There's nothing on earth that can even compare to the awesomeness of a 39 Clues book.

Whoops! Where are my manners? I haven't even introduced myself. My name is Allyson. Allyson Wetherall.

I have two younger sisters, Lauren and Emi.

Lauren is the middle child of the family with a sensible, responsible attitude. In her spare time she enjoys making crafts and inventing things. She's secretly an Ekaterina. (Which makes sense seeing how math tends to have a calming effect on her.)

My sister Emi is the youngest out of us and is far by the most interesting. She's a hand-to-hand combat loving Tomas with a sense of fashion.

My mom is a Tomas, and my dad is either a Lucian or an Ekaterina. (I'm pretty sure he's an Ekaterina, though.)

So, back to the story. A few days later, I went outside to fetch the mail and sorted them out on the round dining table. Mom, dad, mom, Emi, dad, me, Lau-wait a minute! I grabbed the letter that was addressed to me and raced into Lauren, Emi's and my room. I barely got any letters from anyone (which was probably because I never send letters to anybody.).

But as I looked at the letter, a chill ran down my spine. The crest on the top left side looked like shield with all four of the family branches and the Madrigal sign right in the middle. Was this some kind of sick joke?

Little did I know that I this message was about to send me on the adventure of a lifetime.

To be continued...


A/N: DUM DUM DUM! What will happen next? What is this mysterious letter? What does it say? Did you like it?

Well if you did, please review! I accept flames and helpful criticism! If you see a grammar or spelling mistake please let me know so that I can correct it!

(Just a note, Allyson is my real first name. I just had to change my middle and last name for identity purposes. Also, thank you Ninja for the grammar and spelling corrections.)

Well I hope you enjoyed it, bye!

P.S: Chapter 2 will be MUCH longer.
