Amy's POV
I'm forced to sleep in the madrigal stronghold panic room with 4 other men which are my body guards. All of them are knocked out but I can't stay focused. I'm suppose to kill someone in less than 48 hours, and if I fail I'll be the one dead. My mind suddenly drifts to Ian. Tears start streaming down my face remembering how Ian and I dated 4 years ago during the fight against the vespers. It was on my birthday too, the day she felt something change inside of her.
Flashback To 4 Years Ago On Amy's Birthday
I stir from my nap to my phone vibrating. I rub my eyes and reach to the side table to snatch my phone. It's a text from Ian. I tiredly read the text over and over.
"Hey babe. Happy Birthday and Happy 1 year anniversary! Meet me in your hotel lobby at 6:30 tonight. Love you :) -I" I roll out of bed and swift slowly to the bathroom to take a hot needed shower. I evacuate the shower and the bathroom mirrors are full of steam. I drag my finger over the mirror creating a smiley face. Tonight is going to be perfect. I think to myself. I wrap my hair into a towel and wrap a white fluffy robe around my body. I click my phone on to check the time. 4:30. I still have lots of time. I stroll out of the bathroom and open the door next to the bathroom door to reveal a walk in closet. I skim through the shoes until I find the Louis Vuitton Shiny Sandal heels Natalie bought me when we went shopping. I walk over to the handbag selection and grab the light brown Louis Vuitton alma bb I bought shopping with Natalie. I go over to the dress section of the closet and pull out a cream silk cowl neck ralph lauren dress that Ian bought me for christmas. I stroll out of the closet and back into the bathroom and clicked my phone to check the time again. 5:00. I have a hour and a half for hair and makeup. I call my stylist and she shoots up in the elevator to the penthouse. She takes one look at me in my cream dress and nods. She wand curls my hair and braids it on both sides and pins it to look like a braid crown. She does my makeup winged eye liner and a cool crème color eye shadow. It's 5:45 by the time she finishes with my eye lashes and gives me the nod of approval. I decide to meet Ian at his hotel across the street. I dash out the door and head out to the elevator dropping 75 floors fast. By the time I get across the street I see the jewelry store is on sale. I walk and open the door. I'm greeted by the jeweler. She has beautiful platinum blonde hair and is the perfect tint of tan with her beautiful snow like blue eyes. I peer through the glass counter and notice the perfect gold chain and gold snake ring.
"Can I see that please?" I indicate the gold chain and ring. The beautiful woman unlocks the back of the counter and grasps them and places them on the counter.
"We can engrave things too, I see you have a beautiful Ralph Lauren dress on and I'm guessing this is a anniversary present. Who's the lucky boy?" The woman smiles with her perfect white teeth.
"Thank you, and yes this is an anniversary present, and Ian Kabra." I grin brightly but when I try to wipe off the grin it won't go away.
"He's a lucky boy. You look gorgeous tonight." She smiles then holds out her hand. "I'm Jenna by the way."
"I'm Amy." I shake Jenna's soft perfect hand.
"So do you want anything engraved?" Jenna says glancing down at the jewelry.
"Can you engrave, 1 year My Lovely -A" I smile and Jenna nods and snatches the snake ring with diamonds for eyes and grabs a tool and begins engraving it into the ring. In 5 minutes the ring is done and looks great.
"The total is 3,500 dollars." Jenna reads the cash register. I hand her my credit card and she slides it in the machine and hands it back. "Wait!" Jenna says sprinting behind the counter and is clutching something in her hand. "Here." Jenna hands me her business card. "Call me whenever. Tomorrow or 10 years from now. I don't care if you're only 14, I'm 18, not a big difference. Have a nice date Amy. Also Happy birthday." Jenna smiles and walks away in her black long sleeve silk short dress with killer designer pumps. I stuff the business card into my purse and I decide to bring it up to Ian's hotel room. I walk into the elevator and listen to the elevator music until I reach the top floor. The Penthouse. I glance to see the door is ajar and stroll right in. I walk into the kitchen with a smile plastered on my face to see a girl in her bra and panties strutting around. I see Ian walk out in his Ralph Lauren tux and the girl walks over to Ian and kisses him. Ian's beautiful amber eyes widen and pushes her back. He scrunches his eyebrows staring at her confused and in shock. Who is this girl? Why is she in my hotel room? He thinks to himself. I clear my throat and they both jump. Ian looks beautiful. His just showered silky jet black hair, his gleaming amber eyes staring into my shimmering green poignant eyes. I slowly walk over and into the kitchen and up to the girl. I jab the half naked girl hard right in the jaw and she tumbles to the marble floor knocked out. Ian stares at me backing away expecting the same treatment.
"Here." I speak shakily, slamming the ring and gold chain on the counter. I begin to spin away but Ian gently grabs my hand but I snatch it away quickly. "Why would you do that to me if I was nothing but good to you?" I weakly whisper tears rushing down my face.
"Are you crying?" Ian asks stepping in front of me. Ian has never seen me cry, ever. Nobody really did. I sniffle and stroll past Ian towards the door. I slowly spin around and now my hair is plastered to my face, soaked.
"Please don't try to contact me anymore. I'll let you get back to whatever the hell you were doing." I spin on my heel and walk towards the elevator. I hear Ian yell "Its not what it looks like Amy!" So much for the perfect birthday. I finally get into the elevator and slam the lobby button with my pointer finger. Right as the doors close, I collapse to the floor pulling my knees to my face and wrapping my arms around my legs, and begin to sob even more.
Present Time
Remembering that day is so painful. I wipe the few tears from my eyes. I feel my right ear and feel the nub. My stomach churns reminiscing about my ex carving my earlobe off because he needed an clue. I don't understand how he could when I was screeching in pain. I take a deep breathe and click my phone on to check the time. 6:00 am. I asend from my bed and tip toe out of the room. I sprint quietly to the World Class training room. If I'm going up against an elite, I'm going to have to be my best. I think to myself softly opening the door walking in.
Ian's POV
I wake up to my father spurting water on my face. It's 10:00am in the morning in London.
"You need to wake up, you need to train." Vikram yells into my ear setting the custom made glass cup on the side table.
"I will, later. I don't even know who I'm going up against. What's her name?" I tiredly reply shielding my sparkling amber eyes from the sun seeping through the window.
"Her name is not what's important. Reports just got called in from the Janus, she was raised up to world class this morning. Now you need even more training before she arrives up. She's on a jet here now. You better be showered and ready in 30 minutes, or I will haul you out of your bed and to the basement myself." Vikram turns towards the door on the heel of his gucci shoes and stomps out the fancy wooden door slamming it. I tiredly sit up and swift my legs over to the wooden floor. I strut into the oversized bathroom. The floor is sparkling polished granite, along with the counter that has two fancy silver sinks installed into it. There's an oversized bath tub in a small room in the right corner and to the left is an oversized waterfall glass shower. I turn the nob to hot and wait for the shower to heat up.
By the time I'm dressed in my training clothes it's 15 minutes since my father has stormed out of my room. I decide to eat breakfast. I pick up the phone on the custom wooden side table next to my bed and dial the downstairs number to the kitchen.
"Hello wanda, can you prepare an yogurt parfait for me please?" I hang up the phone and stroll over to the full body mirror in my walk in closet. I run my long fingers through my hair debating if I like my hair light brown or not. I shrug it off and begin to walk downstairs.
"Thank you Wanda." I smile clutching a spoon and devour the creamy yogurt parfait fast.
"Since when do you eat Yogurt Parfaits?" Natalie asks confused but laughing walking into the kitchen in her school uniform. "Also I like what you did to your hair, it looks nice. It suits you." Natalie smiles. I turn around and see her smiling at me.
"Since I have to go train in 5 minutes and needed to get something fast to eat." I smirk back at her. "and thanks, but aren't you suppose to be at school?" I cock my head to the side still smirking.
"You better hurry before dad kicks your ass, and don't tell anyone I'm home." Natalie says blinking her amber eyes. I nod in agreement and set the dish on the marble island counter and jog down to the basement just making it in time.
"Get in there now." Vikram snaps pointing at the door right as I make it outside the training room. I walk in and take a deep breathe. Here goes nothing I think to myself.
Amy's POV
"Now that we beat the vespers now what do we do?" Dan says as he snatches his duffle and starts stuffing his dirty and clean clothes together inside of it.
"Dan, you're suppose to separate the dirty from the clean." I smack my forehead with my left hand. Dan puts both of his hands out saying 'what's done is done.' I sigh, smiling, shaking my head. "What am I going to do with you?" Dan shrugs his shoulder pulling out his laptop case and sliding his laptop into it.
"So I was thinking we should go back to the states." I say smiling at Dan. Dan whips his head around with a cold glare.
"I never want to go back Amy. Never!" Dan shouts. I jump not expecting him to be so sensitive about going back.
"Come on dan, we have to. We know it better then here." I calmly state looking out the window to see the Effie tower.
"No. I'm not going back, ever. You can go but I'm not. I don't want to be apart of any of the cahill family. You and your boyfriend Ian can go back but I wont!" Dan screeches. My face goes from a soft smile to an wobbling lip and wide eyes. Dan tugs at his bottom lip knowing he's gone too far bringing up Ian.
"Ian is not, I repeat not my boyfriend!" I roar tears rolling down my face. I pull back my hair and point at my ear. "He did this to me. For a damn clue. I would never go back to him. If that's how you truly feel, leave! Leave and never come back!" I screech, quickly covering up my mouth. I can't believe I just said that.
"Fine." Dan says so calmly I think everything's alright until he picks up his bags and storms out of the room.
"Dan wait." I say scamper after him out into the hallway where I see a Vesper holding Dan's mouth. He has a gun in his other hand and it's pointing right at Dan's head.
"Wa- wait. Plea- please do-." I stutter trying to get the words out, but I wasn't quick enough. The vesper pulls the trigger shooting straight through dans head. I hear a loud scream and don't know where it's coming from, until I realize it's coming from me. The vesper watches Dan's lifeless body fall to the ground with a thud. Right as it does he glances at me. He raises the gun up towards me, I twist around as fast as I can and begin sprinting towards the elevator wailing, and pounding on hotel doors for help. I twist my head around and the vespers gone but I still sprint until I run straight into something making me come to a hault. I slowly look up and examine the Vesper standing in front of me.
"Boo." He whispers and shoots the gun into my torso. I wake up drenched in sweat and wheezing heavily. I can feel my heart racing and tears descending from my eyes. I glance at the setting of the room and realize it was all just a nightmare. I know Dan left safely. I glance out the window and realize I'm in a private jet. I remind myself all about my kill mission and my upgrade to a World Class spy and smirk. I slowly ease myself out of the memory foamed seat and pace myself into the cockpit of the plane.
"Hello, how may I assist you Amy?" The flight attendant asks rising up from her seat.
"Hi, I was just wondering how far we are away?" I grin sweetly looking into her ocean like eyes.
"Actually we're about 10 minutes away, may I assist you back to your seat?" The flight attendant asks trotting towards me.
"Actually can you stay with me until we land?" I whisper so only she can take it in sounding a little too nervous then I wanted to sound.
"Of course, Amy." She grins and I follow behind to her to my seat.
