Vampire's Bride

11:39 AM

The following day after Ian's funeral, Amy returns to her humble mansion in Boston. The mansion is very similar to the one owned by her grandmother, Grace, although it had a few twists to it. For example, there are not one but two libraries. However, Amy had no time to read. Alistair Oh (or Uncle Alistair, as he still prefers to be called) is coming to visit for lunch. The lunch had already been prepared by Amy's loyal butler Michael, so all Amy had to do was get ready. Of course, knowing Alistair, she didn't get too fancy. Just a nice black dress with a jade pendant, gold hoop earrings and a silver chained bracelet. She also wore black heels, not too high, but just about one inch.

"Mistress?" called Michael from down below. Amy, who was now ready with her make-up, called down,

"Yes, Michael?" When she walked down the stairs, Michael bowed and said, "Madame, your visitor Alistair Oh is here." Amy smiled as Michael opened the door and Uncle Alistair stepped in. Now much older than he was back in the Clue hunt, Alistair could die from a single surprise. However, he was still very lively for his old age. He still wore his white suit, but his usual cane was now changed into something much more subtle. Alistair smiled as he saw Amy.

"Ah, Amy. Look at you. From the delicate bud, grows the ever beautiful bloom. How are you, Amy?" he asked as he and Amy gently hugged. Amy smiled back and replied, "Very well, Alistair. Although, you didn't need to say that little thing about the bud and the bloom about me." Alistair waved his hand dismissively. "But it's true. Have you seen the newspapers and the magazines? Everyone has been calling you the major success of the season." Amy blushed and led Alistair in. "Please, uncle, let's just have a seat."

But it's true. Ever since Amy published her wonderful series of the 39 Tracks, the world has fallen in love with the young author. This explains Amy's mansion, her two libraries, and Dan's 'scholarship' to go to Japan to study to be a ninja. The two sat down and Michael served a beautiful meal, consisting of cheese plates with cheese from all over the world, linguine with shrimp and roasted tomatoes, and for dessert, cocoa shots on ice (A/N: great, now im hungry! Lol). When they were finished with their meal, Amy and Alistair moved to the living room to chat about world events.

8:52 PM

After much talking, laughing, and even getting a few shotes of wine (but not too much), Amy and Alistair were exhausted. However, Alistair brought up one more topic before they had to go to bed.

"Amy, have you ever thought much about having a family?" This made Amy a little uncomfortable. She shifted a little and eventually answered, "I...I'm not sure. I mean, sure maybe I'd want kids, but having somebody to trust your life with, after what happened I'd think it'd be a little hard to pull that off. And, besides, Ian's gone..." she trailed off. Alistair patted Amy's hand to comfort her. "I am sorry about him, Amy, truly I am," Alistair said soothingly. Amy wiped away some tears and looked at the clock. She gasped when she saw that it was already almost 10:00 PM.

"Good God, it's almost 10 already!" She said, then she turned to Alistair and asked, "Do you want to possibly stay here for the night? It would bother me to know that you are alone in the night with such dangers." Alistair smiled and replied, "Very well. I suppose I can stay here. At least for the night."

With that, at exactly 11:00 PM, Amy was in her master bedroom and Alistair was sleeping comfortably in the guest bedroom. Amy had decided to read a book before bed (like always) but when she looked back up at the clock, it had read 11:58. Oh well. Now would probably be a good time to shut off the light. Regrettably, Amy shut off the light and thoughts immediately started rushing through her head. For one, the Clue hunt. Another, the other family who had competed with the Cahills that they had to stop when everybody (meaning Amy, Ian, Hamilton, etc.) was around 18 (A/N: sorry for the spoiler for those of you who hadn't read the final book), all the jazz. Amy sighed. She was now 24 years old. Alistair is right. Right now would be a good time to get married and to have kids. Trouble is, now that Ian's...dead...who would Amy have? Hamilton already married a world famous female soccer player and has 2 kids, Jonah, being a celebrity, doesn't need to get married, but there's rumors about him and a really hot movie actress really getting down to business. Amy smiled. So like Jonah to really be that desirable, even to movie stars. Finally, these thoughts and more eventually lull Amy to sleep at exactly 12:00 PM.

Suddenly, she woke up. She looked to the door to the balcony that was across from her in her room. As if drawn in by a trance, Amy got out of bed and drew back the curtain. There was a figure standing outside of the mansion on the street. Amy has seen figures like these before, but there seemed to be some sort of...unusual quality about this one. She closed the curtains. But before she could get back to bed, she heard a clunk on her balcony. She saw somebody's shadow outside the door to the balcony. Fearful, Amy slowly walked to the curtain and drew it back.

Her eyes widened when she saw Ian Kabra standing outside the door.
