"Wait what are those books?" Dan asked.
"Hehe, funny story, well you see those books are about us. I wasn't expecting or the machine to send us to Grace's mansion so I tried the machine on those books. Looks like she found them." Sinead explained chuckling nervouesly and Grace nodded in confirmation. It seemed as though everyone was a bit too preoccupied at the moment. The Holts staring at each other, the Starlings doing nothing, the younger cahills and Kabras were glaring at Isabel and Isabel was glaring right back at them. Hope and Authur were looking at their children and Grace was just amazed at how well the children were getting along.
"What's going on mum?" A little girl next to Isabel asked. Seeing her Natalie's expression softened and with one swift glance at Ian, she got up picked up both the little girl and boy and walked back to her seat. She handed the little boy to Ian before placing the little girl in her lap.
AN: Ok so the Little Natalie will be the 6 yr old nat and Natalie will be present Natalie. Same for Ian, Amy and Dan.
"Who are you" Little Natalie asked.
"I'm you but from the future" Natalie replied looking at the girl. Younger natalie looked scared. Natalie using a gentle voice said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt you"
"But mum said not to trust anyone" Little Natalie said. the clue hunters chuckled darkly, their eyes darkening.
"That was some advice wasn't it?" Sinead said remembering how her brothers got hurt because she didn't trust Amy and Dan to be telling the truth. Thankfully those surgires worked and they were back to normal.
"Why don't we start reading?" Alister suggested trying to break the tension.
Grace picked up the book once again and started reading. (AN: Bold is the story everything elese is normal)
Five minutes before Grace Cahill died she changed her will.
Grace looked up startled. What?
The mood in the room was considerably gloomier. Dan and Amy were looking at each other, neither looking away. the adults looked at them in confusion.
"They can talk with their eyes" Hamiltion supplied.
"How do you know that?" Isabel asked.
"We've been friends for like years" Hamilton said easily but was startled by the aduls turning to look at him.
"WHAT?!" They all shouted.
"You'll find out as the series cotinues" Natalie said before turning to play with the little girl in her arms. On the couch next to her, Amy and Dan had broken their stare off and Amy was playing with Little Ian who was on Ian's lap. Ian knew she was trying her best not to cry and pulled her back next to him, wrapping an arm around her. That earned him a glare from his mother and Authur, and curious looks from the rest of the family.
Her lawyer brought put the alternate version, which had been her most gaurded secret for seven years.
Whether or not she would actually be crazy enough to use it, William McIntyre had never been certain.
Everyone chuckled at Grace's proud expression.
"Only you mom" Hope said while blinking back tears.
"Madam," he asked. "Are you sure?"
Grace gazed out the window, across the sunlight meadow of her estate.
Her cat, Saladin, snuggled beside her as he had during her entire illness but his prescence was not enough to comfort her today.
Saladin leaped onto Amy's lap, who began petting him. Ian shrank away a bit, not far enough to not be able to comfort Amy, but far enough from that cat.( Read AN at the end)
"I see the rivalries are still there huh Ian?" Amy asked teasing while the adults watched. The kids on the other hand were very amused by Saladin and Ian. As usual.
Saladin raised his head to look at Ian who was staring at him. Saladin raised his paws, claws out as Ian said "aaaAAAMMMYYY! Get that cat away from me!"
That was enough for the kids to burst out laughing, and Amy grabbed Saladin and rubbed him in the spot that calms him down. The adults were staring in shock, that behavior wasn't seen from Lucians. Isabel glared at Ian.
"You are a disgrace to the KABRA FAMILY, IAN" Isabel said. Amy stiffened but Ian just held her cold gaze.
"I am a disgrace, Isabel? then what about you? You lost the clue hunt to Amy and Dan, ended up in jail for life and then later sentenced to death because there was NO ONE willing to plead your case. And Vikram, your loving husband, abandoned you, went rogue and then later got himself killed"
The aduls stared at Ian in shock and Isabel just looked soo furious.
"i lost the hunt t-to THOSE BRATS?" Isabel screamed.
"Watch your tongue Isabel" The clue hunter all screamed jumping up. They looked threating even to the adults, who saw almost everything. Ian and Natalie could tell that even Isabel was a little scared. Out of nowhere they had daggers and dart guns pulled out aimed at Isabel.
"It seems like the children would tell the story much better than the books, let's just have them tell it" Alister said and everyone agreed. They put aside the books and the children put away their weapons, before sitting back down.
"You will not insult them, you understand?" Hamilton said.
"You don't even deserve to be in front of them. Amy and dan tried to help you, but then you just hd to try and break out of jail just to threaten us all and then even THEY gave up." Natalie yelled. The looks on their faces was one of pure anger. There was more anger directed to Isavel in this moment than all the hatred in Cahill history combined.
Grace looked at them astonished.
"Why don't we ask them questions we have first?" Cora suggested and Alister went first.
"What branch are Amy and Dan?"
"Madrigal" Dan replied. This caused another shouting match.
"Madrigals arn't a branch... throw them out..."
"SILENCE" Amy yelled and everyone turned to her. "We will let you sort out your thoughts, but we are exhausted. We can finish this tomorrow." Looking at her grandmother she said," We know where the guest rooms are, we can show ourselves up. You might be very necessary here"
With that all the clue hunters walked upstairs leaving the confused adults.
Ok so Im so sorry but I just hated typing up the entire book, not even think of the entire series. It's actually really exhausting so I'm just going to take them out. From now on I'm also no going to show all Cahills together, but instead break them off into groups. I will mostly focus on the one with Amy, Dan, Ian and Nat but I will show the others as well.
Groups are -
Arthur, Hope Grace, Amy, Dan, Natalie, Ian and Isabel
Eisninhower, Mary-Todd, Madison, Reagon, Hamilton, Sinead, Ted, Ned, and Alister
Cora, Jonah, and Nellie
I promise I'll update soon. Maybe tomorrow, if not then thursday.
