Ermagerd! So I'm actually writing my first fanfic! Please please PLEASE tell me if you guys have any suggestions, comments, or questions.
Note: This is a Mortal Instruments and Selection crossover, so even if you haven't The Mortal Instruments, you are still welcome to read this. It's many just a bunch of shadow world crap that I will explain. So ya, enjoy!
It's Friday night, so the report is on. I'm sitting on the floor next to my two sisters that still live at home and my younger brother is sitting on my mom's lap. We have a big family. Eight kids and two parents, though four of the eight are living elsewhere. My mom has bright red hair, blue eyes, and is short. My dad has thick black hair, brown eyes, and is tall. My eldest siblings, Jordan and Jake- twins, have moved out two years ago. Jordan has pretty thick black hair, dark eyes, and is really tall. Jake has beach blonde hair blue eyes, and is average height. The second oldest, Vanessa and Vince- also twins, Vince is a guard for the palace and Vanessa still lives at home with us. Vince was drafted two years ago. Vanessa has pretty copper hair, green-blue eyes, and is also average height. Then there's me, Rebecca, and my twin brother, Christopher, who we have disowned, but that's a different story… I have light brown hair, brown eyes, and I'm short, yet powerful. Christopher is the exact opposite. He has blonde hair, almost golden, bright blue eyes, and is super tall. Then second youngest is my little sister Natalia, she's a lot like me. She's the mini me. She looks exactly like me. And lastly, there's little Nicholas. He has dark brown hair, hazel eyes, and is also average height. Yes, I know, the names are matching except for me and Christopher. Anyway, tonight the selected are being chosen for Prince Keith. Yea, not really a fancy name but whatever.
"How are you feeling about this selection, Your Majesty?" Gavril asks the prince. Man that guy gives me a headache.
"Well, I'm just excited to see who we have, Gavril. I know they will all be lovely ladies," Prince Keith responds kindly. I seriously don't know what girls get all worked up over with him. I mean sure, he's handsome and all, but he's not a shadowhunter. He doesn't know how to protect himself, he needs freaking guards! I mean, UGH!
"Well let's get on with the girls!" Gavril says. I honestly don't know what he said after that because I know I wasn't selected so I don't really care. I didn't apply, and also, they're drafting me! Yes, I know that no girls are drafted, but I saved the royal family a couple of years ago when I was dancing on the report. Rebels attacked and I got them to the safe room easily, along with all my friends. I fought, because it's my duty in life and also some would say that I look like I enjoy it, you know, protecting people and all.
"AHHHHHHH!" Natalia screams in my ear. Whoa, what just happened? I wonder.
"What the hell was that for?!" I scream in her ear.
"Dude, language," she replies casually. "Sophia was chosen!"
"As in, my bestest friend in the world Sophia?" I ask confused.
"YES! KEEP UP!" yells Nicholas from his spot on my mom's lap. Geez, some people.
"Lucky her," I say as I walk up the stairs to my room. I'm happy for my best friend and all, I just don't want to deal with all this selection stuff right now. I will go congratulate her tomorrow, before some of the guards and the general come to see me. If all goes well, I will be sent to the palace a week later and start to be trained to be a guard. I grab my whip from my desk and head to the weapons room/my dance room. My family and I are fives, well all of us except for Vince and Christopher. Vince is now a two because he is a guard, and Christopher lives in New England for a reason I don't like to think about.
I love this room, it's my safe room. I clear my head so easily in here, with my gear on, I just feel so at home. I pick a knife off of the table, balance it evenly, and throw it at the target I made on the wall. I throw three more knives the same way. Knives are so easy to throw, I don't understand why mundanes don't do it. (AN: For all of you that did not listen to me before about the crossover, a mundane is someone who isn't part of the shadow world. That means they aren't a warlock, vampire, faerie, werewolf, or a shadowhunter, they are a normal person) I unreel my whip, that has electrum in it, and start practicing. I love this weapon. If I had to choose my favorite weapon it would have to be this. Not a seraph blade or the bow and arrow, though those do come up right behind, it would have to be my whip. The Consul thinks I'm crazy for that, but I don't care. There's a sudden knock on the door.
"Becky, you need to come now! There are Raveners outside!" says Nicholas. He turned ten a couple of months ago, so he can put on Marks, but he's still not the strongest and he's not very trained.
"I coming," I yell back. I grab a bow and a couple of arrows, stuff some seraph blades in my belt, a couple of knives, wrap my whip around my wrist and run out the front door.
Now, Nicholas isn't very good with demons, because these aren't Raveners, these are damn Shaxes. If only Vince was here. I run out to where the demons are and climb up a lamppost, my best approach. I unwrap my whip, and slice the creature right through the torso. I jump down and grab a seraph blade. "Cassiel" I whisper and the blade jumps into life. I didn't have enough time to put any runes on, so my boots are clanking down the street, and mundies can see me running like a crazy person. I hurry behind the ugly creature and cut it perfectly down the middle. I kill the rest of the demons with no problem at all, that's one reason they wanted to draft me. I'm an amazing shadowhunter, and on top of that, I'm a Fairchild, and Fairchilds are brave, and great protectors, it is our duty to save anyone, or anything, which is why I do it.
Okay, so that was short, but it was my first chapter ever! Sorry all of you that haven't read the Mortal Instruments series. Every couple of chapters I'm thinking of having a shadowhunter glossary type thing. Please review! Tell me suggestions, ask me questions, and tell me any corrections. I will also be fine with receiving PMs. I will TRY to update every week, but sometimes it might be hard. Okay! Have fun reading fanfics! Bye!
