Okayyy, so hi-
All of you: WHY HAVENT YOU UPDATED, WHATS GOING ON, WHY DOES THIS SAY CHAPTER ONE, WHAT THE ACTUAL HECKKKK
*Covers ears while dodging flying tomatoes*
So yeah, I haven't updated in like, forever. My old computer kind of deleted my file and tbh, I had no idea what I was doing with the story…sooo I started over. Yep, yas, yes-sir-ee. Go ahead and be mad at me (that rhyme was unintentional), but you are probably going to like this one better anyways. I re-read and saw how rushed all of it was and I was like: Why am I putting these poor people through this torture? But I always stay true to my word! I shall not abandon this fic! Mostly because I know how it stinks when people don't complete fanfics. Do people even read AN's? If you do and if you review, say "Bow down peasants, the flapjacks are here." And now that this horribly long AN is over…
Sebby, do the honors!
Sebby: TheWaffoNator does not own any characters, and I feel her pain because who wouldn't want to own a gorgeous psychopathic murderer like me? *Pretends to flip hair*
I do however, own the plot and Raya Lewis…
Rebecca POV
I sat in the kitchen of the house, flipping through my journal. I find an open page and start to write: Baphuon Temple, Cambodia and Eilean Donan Castle, Scotland. I tape two pictures in my journal and close it. You are probably wondering what I'm doing. I have this journal that I keep and usually write letters and put in the places I want to visit the most in the world. I am in love with the idea of traveling all over the world, and I am already saving up money for my 'travel fund'. Suddenly my brother Simon comes down stairs carrying a book bigger than all of the Heroes of Olympus books combined. And let me tell you, those are decent sized books. "Morin' Si,"
"Hey Becky." He says simply, and putting a pop tart in the toaster. I wrinkle my nose. Why did he like pop tarts? Toaster strudels are so much better.
"So, you are studying for a test again?" I ask. Lately he has had his nose in all of these weird books, and I could have sworn one of them had a piece of paper taped to it that said 'Beheading for Beginners'
"Yup," He said popping the 'p'. "I'm also going over to Eric's again. I'll be back later." He said grabbing his pop tart and heading out the door. "See you later."
"Bye." I told him.
I heard the door downstairs open. "Si, is that you?" I yelled
"No it's me and Raya!" My mom says, as my 8 year old sister comes in my room.
Oh. It was 10 pm and Simon still wasn't home. Where the heck was he? Maybe I should drop by Eric's.
"Mom I'm going out!"
"Where?" She ask and Raya comes up to me and gives me a hug. "Can I go too?" she asks. I nod.
"To find Simon." I say going out the door. I walk with Raya to the subway and find that the only seat is in between a guy who oddly smells like cheez-its and keeps hitting on me, and an old lady wearing a leotard. I sit down, putting Raya in my lap and mentally sigh, why was this guy being so annoying? I look over and notice a very sparkly guy with cat eyes sitting next to a girl with long black hair and really, dangerously tall heels. Meanwhile, while I am staring at the weird people, the guy next to me draws his number on my arm with a marker, gross, and Raya slaps his hand away. The sparkly Asian guy noticed me staring and dragged the girl over with him.
"Can we sit here please?" He ask the obnoxious guy and the leotard lady politely. They get up, as if they were in some type of trance, and move to where raven girl and captain sparkles were previously sitting. They sit down on either side of me, like nothing weird just happened. "What?" Raya asked while looking up at the Raven Haired girl confused.
"Um, hi?" I ask.
"Hey, so, why can you see us?" The raven girl asked getting striaght to the point. I found that weird, I mean… Am I not supposed to see them?
"What type of question is that? Of course I can see you." It came out harsher than I intended.
"Becky! That was mean!" Raya scolds.
"Look, no need to get rude. We were just wondering if you are a shadowhunter or downworlder." Captain sparkles says.
Before I even get to ask what that means, the raven girl ask: "Do you think she is just a mundie with the sight?" She looks me over, which leaves me feeling very self-conscious. "I don't see anything special about her."
"Look, I didn't ask for you guys to come over here and stuff, all I wanted to do was find my little brother Simon, ok?" I snap. Who did these people think they were?
Apparently I said something that hit a nerve, because they both paled. "What's your name again? First and Last?" The Raven girl asked.
"Rebecca Lewis." I tell them. Raya jumps up being all dramatic and says "And I, am the Fab-U-Lous, 8 year old Raya Lewis! Love your glitter by the way darling." She points at captain sparkles hair.
So, I guess these people know my little brother. They both introduced themselves as Magnus Bane, and Isabelle Lightwood. They told me about the shadow world, demons, shadowhunters, downworlders, and angels. At first I just thought that, maybe they know another kid named Simon Lewis, and they accidently ate or drank something that made them delirious. But they looked so serious, I didn't even think anybody could make all of this up with a straight face. So that, is how I am finding myself walking to Magnus's house. Simon was going be so dead for lying to me.
We walked up to this apartment building that looked like it was on the brink of shutting down. Magnus cursed under his breath, "I left my keys in."
"Just call Alec to let us in."
He pressed the buzzer for the apartment.
"Who is it?" A guy's voice I guessed to be 'Alec' asked.
"Left my keys inside darling, I would magic it to me but, I'm too lazy."
The front door opened and Magnus led us up the stairs. Magnus and Isabelle were really cool, I mean they both like America's Next Top Model and Project Runway and other, non-modeling, shows like The Walking Dead. And Magnus looks around the same age as me.
Another door opened to reveal a person who basically looked like a male Isabelle, except the fact that he had stunning blue eyes and though it was obvious while Isabelle dressed to impress, he downplayed his looks.
"Hey Magnus, Izzy. Who is this? Does Simon have a twin and little sister?" He asked. I frowned at him. People always said we looked alike, but I just don't see it. I have freckles and I'm shorter than him, maybe just a bit taller than Clary and uh…
Wait, who's Clary again?
That's not the point. "I'm Simon's older sister Rebecca, and this is Raya."
"Okay, come in I guess?" He says politely enough but I saw him give Izzy and Magnus a 'What-In-The-Edom-Are-You-Doing?' look.
AND IT'S OVER MUHAHAHAHA
Just kidding, I had to do that ._.
The first thing I think is 'Dang, this place is even bigger than the whole entire apartment building'
"Dang, this place is even bigger than the whole entire apartment building!" Raya all but shrieks. Great, now I think like a 8 year old.
"SIMONNN! YOU FORGOT TO PICK ME UP FROM BALLET AND MOM HAD TO DO IT! WHERE WERE YOU? AND WHY ARE YOU WITH THIS AMAZING SPARKLY MAN, AND YOU NEVER INTRODUCED US?!" Raya shrieks, yet again. She runs up to Si, who is on a couch and hugs him so tight, I almost felt bad for the poor guy.
Almost.
If it weren't for the fact that he lied to me. I marched right up to him, ignoring the other 4 teens in the room. "Simon Noah-Ellis Lewis, why did you lie to me about going to Eric's?" I yell, not caring if I'm being a bit 'dramatic'
"I-"
"Shut it, I don't even want to hear your excuses! What time were you planning on coming home?"
"At-"
"Didn't I say to shut up!"
"But-"
"I MEAN DID YOU REALLY EXPECT ME TO COOK DINNER! YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO BRING HOME FOOD FROM THAT JADE WOLF PLACE!"
"Sorry-"
"Oh be quiet." I say, pulling him into a hug.
After me and Raya calmed down a bit Si turned to us.
"So let me introduce you to my little friends…"
"Simon, just…stop making references to Scarface."
Edit 12-7-15 I fixed up some grammar and generally annoying things!
And it's a wrap! That took me three days to write ._. (I have horrible writers block) Tell me If you like this version better! And if you never saw the first one then….uh…..good for you? Welcome? So Please leave Reviews and remember my friends,
