Author notes:

~This is just the beginning so first chapter might be a little boring but keep on reading its gets better! ~


Amy Foster stared long and hard at the puzzle before giving up. How could anyone finish a 1000 piece puzzle under an hour? "Are you done yet?" Snapped Rose. 

"No." Amy assured her. Rose was one of her new next door neighbor kids that she had to babysit, along with her brother Avery. Through Avery was one of those shy kids with the hoodie while Rose was the bossy one that wanted everything to happen her way. "It's clearly impossible." Amy snapped back. 

She couldn't believe she was having an argument with a 6 year old. 

"NO ITS NOT-" - Knock- knock interrupted the sound from the doorway. "YAY MOM AND DAD IS HOME!" Scream Rose as she and Avery jumped in excitement. Amy was full of relief at the sound of someone knocking on the door. 

"Finally". Breathed Amy as she opened the door, and just as she expected, Rose and Avery's parents came out. "Hi, Mr. Maxwell and Ms. Maxwell".  Amy said instantly.

 "Hi" The two parents replied back. Once they said their goodbyes and thank yous, Amy finally had time to rest. Well only for thirty minutes because her mother would come home from work soon. Amy's mother was a doctor who worked at Hartfield, which was the part of town that they lived in. She usually took night shifts but today she changed it up since she knew the Maxwells were coming.

 Now that Amy could finale relax she ran to her bookshelf to pick up a book to read. Her book shelf was a small nook that only took a little corner of the living room. She used to think it was a good size until she stayed at the Lost Cities  where the bookshelves took over the whole wall with a dark branch ladder. "The good old times." She whispered mostly to herself, as she stared at her bookshelf. Amy's top three favorite series were Harry Potter, Narnia, and Lord of the Rings. She haul down Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and went to read right away.

She walked over to the couch with Watson following quickly behind her. Watson was their dog. He was a beagle mix with some other unknown kind of dog. She sat criss cross applesauce and cuddled with Watson and slowly opened the first page. Then a sudden noise ranged through. DING- DONG Amy jumped at the unexpected sound. It had only been 5 minutes since she started reading. Maybe her Mother got off work earlier. She got up while Watson went straight to the door and started barking. 

"It's just mom," Amy said to Watson, as she opened the door. "I thought you weren't coming home till 9:30." said Amy not bothering to look up. With a moment of silence that came she finally  looked up. Her eyes met with beautiful teal eyes, a familiar smirk, and brown eyes with golden flecks. "Sophie?"
