So, I made Amy and Evan a couple again...what do you think about that? :) So now...not enough of you voted if Evan should be a Vesper! Oh well, I'll see what I do. Oh, and I've noticed that I write "the" as "teh" and Microsoft doesn't really say anything, no red underline. So sorry about that. Oh, and to Madrigrl39: I would've made Ian angry, though it would be a little OOC. But just watch...I mean read, there's a little surprise...Enjoy!
Amy sighed. The birthday went well...only one thing. The Kabra's weren't there. She supposed Ian probably never came back from his date. Amy opened The Splendor Falls, and started reading. But her eyes weren't concentrating. She trudged herself to the garage and pressed the button like Sinead had. The car flipped and Ian's car came. She went inside and requested the book. She leaned back on the seat and listened to the audio book.
(Ian)
"I had a great time last night," Charlotte told Ian.
"It wasn't great!"
"Oh, c'mon, Ian. Your face was hilarious when I punched you!"
"Why would you punch me?" Ian looked in the mirror and started dabbing the alcohol on the spot on his right cheek. It was red. Not that big, but big enough for a Kabra.
"You told my crush that we were going out!"
"We were pretending to be dating."
"Yeah, well." Charlotte twisted a lock of her straight, silky black hair. She had beautiful green eyes, like Amy. But they weren't jade green. They were bright, spring green. Ian preferred jade green. "Jason didn't believe it. And I don't even think he wants to talk to me."
"Isn't Jason your best friend?"
"So?"
"Never mind." Ian went out of the bathroom and Charlotte followed. They went to his bedroom. "Here's the game plan: you make Amy jealous, try to make her crawl back to me. But don't make her cry."
"Why would I? Amy seems nice. We both have the same interests..." Ian glared at her. "Other than you. Are you even sure she's still interested in you?" Ian glared more. "Right, sorry. Why can't you just tell her? And you say Evan is a Vesper? Prove it to her. Follow him around. Carry your little recorder."
"You know, you have a point." Ian went over to his closet and pulled his jacket on. "Come on. If you want to meet Amy Cahill."
"The love of your life," Charlotte teased. When she got no response, Charlotte continued. "Your life long crush, your damsel in distress, your lady, your future wife, your..."
(Graces Mansion)
Ian rang the doorbell.
"My house is pretty big like this," Charlotte muttered. She had pulled her hair back into a pony tail, and she wore a black blazer with a white polo shirt and skinny black jeans. Dan opened a door.
"What do you want, Cobra?" Dan looked at Charlotte and his mouth dropped open. He had crush boy eyes. "H-hum-hum-"
"Good to see you, Daniel," Ian said. "May we come in?" Dan nodded. They went inside and went straight into the living room.
"I-I'll g-get A-Amy," Dan stuttered and ran.
"He's adorable!" Charlotte exclaimed. "But he's acting a little weird..."
"The same way girls act around me."
"You are so conceited." Amy came back with Dan at her side and her mouth dropped open. And so did Charlotte's.
"You look amazing!" They both exclaimed at the same time.
"No, no. You are...honestly. I love your eye color," Amy said.
"I love the color jade."
"Nice outfit!"
"Your hairs so perfect!" Ian coughed. Amy looked back and forth.
"You guys look perfect together," she choked out. She couldn't believe it...actually, she could. A girl like that for Ian. She shouldn't be jealous.
"Nah," Charlotte said modestly. Ian put his arm around her shoulders, and she reminded herself to punch him on his left cheek.
"How long did you know each other?" Amy asked.
"Since we were seven," Ian said, which was true.
"And you just started going out this week?"
"Yes," Charlotte said. Why me? she thought.
"Well, it was nice meeting you..." They realized they never introduced themselves.
"Charlotte."
"Charlotte." Amy finished. "I hope to be seeing you again, sometime?"
"Sure. Did you check out the new bookstore?" Seeing Amy's excited eyes, Ian spoke before she could say anything.
"We should be going. Bye, lo-Amy."
(Ian's house)
"Didn't that go well?" Ian asked.
"Why did you put your arm...why did you even touch me?"
"Sorry, love, but isn't that what real couples do?"
"Don't call me love!" Ian sighed. Charlotte reminded him more and more of Amy. They were so much alike...
"It's scary." Charlotte looked confused.
"What is?"
"Never mind."
"Alright, I won't mind." They sat in silence for a while. "How much longer?"
"How much longer with what?"
"That I have to pretend to be your girlfriend."
"Just until Amy breaks up with Evan. Which should be soon enough."
"Good."
(Two Weeks later)
"Must we have the spy music?" Natalie asked.
"And why do we have to wear the stupid suits?" Dan complained.
"Because we wanna act like real spies," Charlotte explained. "Anything yet, Ian?" Ian put down his binoculars.
"Nothing. There must be something." Jonah burst inside the green house.
"Where were you?" Sinead asked.
"Screaming fans...dad's taking care of them...a girl wanted to...get in my dressing room..." Jonah managed to say between gasps.
"Right, well, grab a pair of binoculars," Hamilton said. "We're spy on Vesper boy, to see if he could do any of his Vesper things." He pointed at Charlotte. "She's been a big help. Are you sure you don't want to be part of our group?"
"You already have a Lucian. And besides, I'm going back to New York in two days."
"Your what?" Ian asked.
"Going. Back. To. New. York. In. Two. Days." Charlotte repeated.
"But what about the plan?" Ian was freaking out right now. Natalie shut off the spy music.
"You don't think Amy will come back crawling to you in two days?" She asked her brother.
"I mean, the plan..."
"Relax Ian. If we catch Vesper boy...then she'll be back to you in a second," Sinead assured.
"Doesn't that make me a...a..."
"Second choice?" Charlotte offered.
"Yes! A second choice. Amy is only going be with me because she finds out that Evan is a Vesper and she can't date him, 'cause he might try to kill her on their date or anniversary or wedding..."
"Dude." Dan put a hand on Ian shoulder, and quickly took it away, rubbing it on his shirt. "If my sister is in love with Vesper boy, then she won't care that he's a Vesper. She'll still stick with him, betray us if she wants to. But if she's not in love with him, that really doesn't make you a second choice." Dan groaned. "I can't believe I'm saying this, but...you...would make a ...better...brother in law."
"Thank you, Dan," Ian said, pleased that everyone was on his side.
"Anytime, Kabra."
"Guys..." Sinead and Charlotte were watching out the window of the cabin. "I think we found something," Sinead said. Everyone went over to where they were. Evan was talking to teh blond girl again but this time, it seemed like they were making a plan. Before they could move, blondie was gone, and Evan was holding a gun.
"We got it." Natalie zoomed her camera to Evan and the gun, and took a picture. She zoomed in on the gun, which had a V engraved in it, and took another picture.
"Come out! I know you people are there!" Evan was shouting.
"Who's Vesper boy talking to?" Jonah asked.
"It seems like he's talking to us," Hamilton said.
"I know your there, Cahill's. Come out before Daphne uses a bomb," Evan continued.
"Alright, now he's just bluffing." Charlotte took out something that looked like a iPhone. "This would've picked up a signal. There's no bomb."
"Then there's nothing we should be afraid of." Ian went to the door. "Let's go." The six agents followed him out the door. Evan was spinning when he finally saw them. Sinead went in first. She kicked the gun out of Evans hand. He brought out another. Dan and Charlotte cornered him, while Hamilton and Jonah kicked him down.
"Jonah Wizard?" Evan asked, a little dazed. He got up.
"Yo," Jonah said, before punching him. Ian suddenly realized something.
"You're new," he said.
"W-what do you mean?" Evan asked, standing up again.
"You're new. They just recruited you. The Vespers. Didn't they?" Ian stated.
"How-how did you know?"
"Because you obviously don't know about the Cahill's," a voice said behind him.
My first cliffhanger! How did you like it? Maybe you guys could guess who it is. Did you like this chapter? I did.
