I'm Baaaaaaccccckkk. Anyone missed me? Well I missed you guys. I love writing for you guys. So I am going to do that very thing. This is my very first AU story and I'm glad to write for you. Now I'm going to explain it to you so you won't be lost. It will be written in italics as an A/N.
Let's go.
A/N: The Grimms are bounded by a curse to forever serve the Royal Fae family. The chosen Grimm has the task of getting rid of rogue Faes on the Human plane. Mina is the chosen Grimm. She is in fact a siren. She has a tail and everything. So she's really Fae but since her dad was human she's considered half Fae. Anywho Charlie is fully human, mute still, but all human. Mina's father died when she was thirteen she is now sixteen. Finally, Teague is not necessarily evil but he is still very powerful and not too nice. (He will always have a dark side to me.) That is the breakdown of this AU.
Fae palace throne room
"Bring in the Grimms."
An order that always mean something serious. And today was no different.
The Royal family called for the entire Grimm family for the first time in a long time. Knowing the seriousness of it the family went quickly.
The way to the palace was quiet. Each person in their own thoughts. Granted the littlest one couldn't speak but even he didn't communicate to them. The same question was in their head though.
'Why are we being called?'
As they walk through the throne doors, their anxiety and nervousness goes up. The king and queen are sitting on their thrones. The queen as always held her head high looking down at them. She thought she was better than everyone and she made sure she showed it. The king on the other hand gives off a more relaxed feeling. But as always no emotion crosses his face at the moment, making it uneasy.
But they are not the ones that made sixteen-year-old Wilhelmina "Mina" Grimm feel anxious. No it was their son that did.
Prince Teague.
He is standing instead of sitting on his throne like his parents. His cold blue eyes send chills down Mina's spine. He looks at her as if he is studying her. His straight facial expression, like his father, gives off an even more unfriendly feeling.
The Grimms bow, (the females didn't curtsy, they bowed.) and then the mother speaks.
"You wanted to see us your highnesses." She says.
"Yes. We've already wasted three years; we can't afford to waste more. The rogue Faes are out of control on the human plane." The queen responds.
"The time has come to choose a new Grimm." The king says.
Panic and fear courses through Mina's veins. She doesn't want it to be her brother mainly because he is human. He would die instantly. She doesn't want it to be her mother because her mother is not as young as she used to be. But she definitely doesn't want to be chosen. Either way this is a lose situation.
The king looks to prince Teague signaling him in a way. Prince Teague then shows a beautifully bounded book. Mina's mother visibly stiffens. She is definitely familiar with the book.
Prince Teague lets the book go and it moves. It goes all the way over until it stops in front of none other than Wilhelmina Grimm.
Instantly her mother starts to break down and cry.
"No no my poor child." Her mother softly says while crying.
Young Charlie Grimm looks to his older sister. He signs to her asking her what is wrong with their mother. He doesn't fully understand their situation.
Mina bends down to his level and puts her hand on his shoulder.
"Nothing is wrong. Mom is just a little emotional." She says to him.
"You two are dismissed." The queen says to her mother and brother.
"But you," the queen says pointing to Mina, "must stay for a little longer."
Mina nods and looks at her mother and brother.
"Don't worry I'll be fine. Go on." Mina says.
The two leave. Her mother looks back at her with teary eyes hoping the best for her daughter.
Mina picks up the book and looks forward to the Royals in front of her.
"Our hope in getting rid of rogue Faes lies in the hands of a little girl, how comforting." The queen scoffs.
"With all due respect your highness I am the best choice. My brother is only a child, a human child at that. My mother, though she is a siren, is up in age and her magic is not as strong as mine." Mina says politely.
"She has a point." The king says.
The queen just scowls and doesn't reply. Suddenly Prince Teague walks over to Mina. Mina kneels in front of him, not daring to look him in the eyes. She knows of what the prince can do. She's has served him and his parents for as long as she can remember. The prince is not one to mess with.
Finally he speaks.
"Your orders come directly from me and only me. The book in your hand is called the Grimoire. It will help you in your task. It will bind the Fae you capture in its pages. All you do is just point it at the one you want to capture and think of them. The book will do the rest. It can change its shape to blend in not looking as suspicious. It can turn into any weapon. It will identify the rogue Faes, both their true form and human form. As always you are not allowed to have excessive human contact. Only what is needed. Do you understand?" The prince says.
"Yes your highness." Mina answers.
"Good. Failure will not be taken lightly; disobedience is not an option." He says.
Mina feels his cold blue eyes stare at her. She looks up ever so slightly. His perfect posture along with his princely voice makes his words even more serious. Mina cannot fail nor can she break a rule.
"You are dismissed."
And that's my first chapter. Could have been better but hey its only the first chapter. I'll try to get the second chapter up here soon. I am so excited for this story. I love writing for you amazing people. You guys make my day. Until next time.
