His other Half: To be Selected (SYOC)

[SPOILERS FROM THE HEIR!] 19 years after the events of the Heir, Prince Ahern and Princess Camille's son; Kendrick, is quiet ready to venture into his very own selection. As the eldest grandchild of King Maxon and Queen America, he sets off to start his very own selection, but what exactly do the rebels have in store this time? SYOC. Details inside! 0/25 Girls. Rated T.

Hey Everyone! This is my very own first SYOC beyond the relatively common Hunger Games SYOTs, submit me girls ranging from 16-20, oh and the caste system wasn't taken down, so it could be regarded as a bit of an AU.

I'll be accepting 25 main girls, and the remaining 10 are going to be background characters and to-be-eliminated characters. You can submit two girls provided one of them is to-be-eliminated. Thank you in advance and I hope to see your submissions soon!

Chapter 1: The Announcement

~*Kendrick*~

I paced back and force waiting patiently till my father finished his meeting with my grandparents and aunt. I was quiet anxious seeing that the atmosphere these past few days was unsettling to say the least. A couple of southern rebels thought it was funny to burn down the local public school in Belcourt, injuring 12 teachers in the process including a pregnant woman who suffered a miscarriage, as well as endangering the lives of 25 children who were all under the age of 10.

My parents were in frenzy, trying to sooth down the trembling citizens and providing compensations for the ones who suffered, but it was quiet an uproar here in the palace, and my grandfather was extremely angry seeing that the threat of the rebels never really simmered down after all those years.

I knew my grandfather held a deep hatred for them even though he rarely shows it; for they were responsible for killing both of my great-grandparents. It was quiet unusual to see my ever-kind Grandfather Maxon in such a state and it was harder imagining him actually hating someone.

"Your Highness? They're waiting for you."

My father's personal advisor and longtime best-friend, Trenton, bowed slightly and smiled a small smile that I took as a reassuring one, still though, it did nothing to calm my nerves.

"Thanks, Uncle Trent…"

He smiled at me again and squeezed my arms a little before closing the door behind me and leaving.

All the adults turned to look at me at that instant and I felt a small smile that I really hoped it didn't come off as a grimace; creep up my face. My mother answered me with a small smile of her own and she beckoned me to sit next to her. I slowly made my way to the seat next to her and I looked up at all of them and smiled a small smile.

"So…for what do I owe the pleasure of your company today?" I tried giving them a smirk, easing the tension surrounding the table and I managed to make my grandmother crack a small smile. I saw my grandfather's eyes soften slightly by my easy demeanor and he nodded once in the direction of my father who cleared his throat before turning to me.

"Kendrick, we have a really…important announcement, one that is going to affect your life greatly…"

He swallowed and looked at my mother who squeezed my hand and I was left to ponder on what he said. Why does he look so serious?

"Wow, easy people…" I tried joking again. "You're not exiling me, are you?"

They didn't smile, only my grandmother chuckled a little and they all turned to her. She cleared her throat before turning to all of them.

"Why are you making it sound so harsh, we're not going to put the boy to death, he's right, take it easy."

I shook my head and smiled at my grandmother, she's always been my favorite member of the family. Both of my parents were born royals, but America Shreave, my grandmother was actually a normal person whose caste was a 5 before my grandfather chose her in his selection about 40 years ago. She's the most easy-going member of this family and I loved spending time with her and with aunt May, her sister.

"It's just, different…Look Kendrick, with the ongoing threat of the southern rebels, we need something to put the country at ease and…well, this is sort of a surprise but it might caslm some nerves…" My mother trailed softly and turned to my father who nodded his head.

I looked at all of them carefully trying to gauge any reaction to the words I just heard but I saw none, "Okay, I'm not sure I'm following here…"

Father cleared his throat and looked up at me. "You see son, the last selection was your uncle's, and while it was a great one, it was well over 10 years ago. People are starting to rsie again and while we debated on making another selection again, it seems like it's the only way to calm people down for a while.

I tried digesting what he just said bit in the end I just looked confused; I looked at my grandmother who was watching the scene unfold in front of her with soft eyes.

"For heaven's sake Ahern, you're confusing the boy. Kendrick, darling what your father meant to say is that the Selection transition will be revisited once again, even though your father wanted you to have your very own free will when it comes to marriage but it's a necessarily evil."

I looked at my grandmother and reality suddenly dawned on me, but I felt that it was still necessary for me to fully understand what she's saying so I looked at her and said slowly… "And…"

"Your selection Kendrick, is going to be announced in three days."

I sat there stunned, looking at all of them in surprise.

"I'm 18, you don't think I'm still…I don't know, young? I thought the selected girls will be from 16-20 years old?'

My family looked at each other and my father sighed.

"We can't afford to wait another year, and besides, you have about 6 more months to be 19, it isn't exactly a big deal." My father said, looking at my mother who nodded.

"and if it would make you feel better who could make the range between the ages of 16-19, instead of 20."

I shrugged not really caring wether the girl will be older than me. It finally dawned on me that about two or three month from now I'll be married. I looked at my ring finger and sighed. This will be much harder than I thought.

"Kendrick? I'm sorry son, but it's the only thing we could think off that would make some rebels simmer down for a while. Knowing that one of their own might be a princess one day."

I shook my head and placed a grin on my face looking at my father. "Hey, I'm not complaining, I'll get to have 35 girls here in the palace in about three weeks. If anyone's lucky, it's me." I smirked at them and my grandmother laughed and shook her head.

"I always thought that you worried too much. I never thought Kendrick would actually oppose to the idea."

I smiled and winked at my grandmother and she winked back. I stared at my family as they talked amongst themselves and I was left for the first time since I entered the room to my thoughts.

Am I really ready for my very own selection?

I stared at the constant lovable look that my grandfather reserved for my grandmother and the way he held her hands so tenderly and I sighed to myself, will I ever have anyone too look at and love that way?

Guess I'll just have to find out.

Rules:

-PM characters only. I will not accept characters through guest review unless they're to-be-eliminated characters or background characters such as guards, aids or maid…etc.

- Let me be honest, I hate Mary Sue's with a passion, so please under absolutely no circumstances; YOU ARE NOT to submit Mary Sues. If you want to know how to avoid writing one, check out the Forum: Tips, Tricks, and Do's and Don'ts and click on the Section of "What is a Mary Sue". Also, please no America copies. I want real, original characters that I could develop. If I find America copies they would be some of the first to be eliminated.

- Don't submit people with weird attributes. I understand that there might be one or two with a colorful hair color, but I don't want 10 girls with blue/pink/purple hair and tattoos all over their body. Be original, but don't go crazy with your characters.

- The most important thing; DETAILS! I want you to pour your heart out when creating those characters. I want to know everything about them so I could integrate them well into the story.

- Be diverse! I don't want 20 girls who are all pale skinned and have blue eyes and could be a reincarnation of a typical valley girl. I want diversified characters. Hispanic, Native, African American, Indian, Asian….just be original.

-This story is not a first come first serve, I'll be picking the girls that I think I can write well and fit with the story.
