Hello there. I am Gamer In Training and this is my first fanfic. I hope everyone that read this fanfic would comment it. For those who have wide knowledge in story writing, I hope you could give me advice on how to improve my story.
P/s: I don't know whether this is necessary or not but I'm going to do it anyway. All characters do not belong to me. They all belong to their rightful owner.
Chapter 1: Mission Start
It was 6 o'clock in the morning and the sun just starting to rise over a small island known as Whale Island. An alarm clock started to ring loudly as it was set by its master last night. The clock was on top of a wooden drawer, right next to a single-sized bed with a light pink sheets and sunflower pattern blanket.
A hand slowly come out from under the covers and lazily rose towards the blue, round clock. At first, the hand only gives the clock a small push on its off button, but sadly, a much more force was needed to turn that thing off. The hand reluctantly turned into a fist and slammed against the button, successfully shutting the blue abomination off. The hand quickly retreated into the cover.
"ANNA! HURRY UP OR YOU WILL MISS YOUR SHIP!"
Due to the insane volume of the scream she just heard from downstairs. A girl, age seventeen, literally jumped out of the bed. Unable to keep her balance, she fell face first into the cold, hard wooden floor.
Anna RoseJoy rose her head slowly from the floor and gave her nose a little rub. Her long black hair was a jumbled mess. Her yellow nightgown had bee in better situation. "Ugh. Mom", the seventeen year old named Anna sigh as she rub her brown eyes to keep the sleepiness at bay. She closed for a while before her eyes sprang back open after a huge realization.
"IT'S TODAY!" Anna shouted happily to no one in particular. She got up and rush out the door of her bedroom. After a few second, she reentered her room, and with a swift motion, she grabbed her towel and rushed out once more. She sprinted to the bathroom and her speed increases after she saw a tall guy with short black hair approaching the bathroom door. Just as the guy was about to enter the bathroom, Anna pushed him out of the way and enter it in his place.
"Hey! That's not fair! Anna, open the door!" a deep and manly voice escaped from the guy's mouth.
"Sorry Hector! I'm in a rush. It's today!" Anna replied to through the door as she began to undress herself and started to have a nice shower. "Mph. Whatever." Hector mumbled as he walked back to his room. He never understand why his sweet, innocent, and sometime barbaric little sister wanted to be a Hunter that badly. She had been talking about it all the time since they the little kids after their dad told them about Hunters and all of their many exciting things they had done, not to mention all the fame and fortune they created for themselves along the way.
Hector ditched the idea of going to his room and went downstairs instead. Food always calmed him down. As he reached to the kitchen, he saw a woman in her forties frying eggs. He sat down at one of the empty chairs at the dining table that were adjacent to a man who was reading the newspaper.
"Morning mom. Morning dad." Hector greeted his parents. The woman turned around with a smile on her face. "Morning dear. Where's Anna?". "Bathroom" he replied lazily as he fill his plate. His dad put down the newspaper and follow his son's actions by taking a few fried eggs and a few slice of toast." You don't seem pretty happy, son. Care to talk about it?" he asked his son while smearing butter on the toast. "Don't get me wrong dad. I'm happy for Anna. I just don't want to lose her." His dad raised his eyebrow before and blurry figure ran pass them and stopped in front of a fridge.
The figure took out a milk carton and finished the whole thing. "Here I thought that girls took an hour tops to get ready." Hector teased Anna as she sat down next to her mother to eat. "Please don't put me in that category", Anna retorted. She was wearing a blue t-shirt with long pants and a pair of combat boots. Her hair was tied into a ponytail. Her mother quickly put a few fried eggs into her plate and she wasted no time in gobbling everything up.
"So, are you excited?" he dad finally decided to say something to her since her arrival at the table. With her mouth full of eggs, she gave her dad a smile and a nod her head to his question. Her mother just rolled her eyes.
"Do you really want to do this dear? There are always other jobs available on the island." Her mother suggested in hoping to keep her daughter from leaving. "Mom. We already been through this…" before Anna could finished, a knocked on the door startled the entire family. Her mother rushed towards the door. A happy squeal can be heard could be heard from the front once it was opened.
"MITO! Good to see you"
"It's good to see you as well. Here are the herbs that you asked me to buy for you".
Anna's mother took the herbs from Mito. "Did you know? Anna also want to be a Hunter. She is departing today." Mito eyes becomes a bit teary and a small yet warm smile appear on her face. As if on cue, Anna appear behind her mother and smile at the orange haired lady. Mito rushed towards Anna and put the girl in her arms. Stroking her long black hair, Mito let a few tears drop on Anna's head.
"Mito-san?" Anna calmly called out to the older woman. "Just be safe, okay?" Mito replied with a calm voice. Anna nodded slowly and hugged the woman back.
It was half past seven. The family of four plus Mito and all of Whale Island's residence stood at the harbor, watching a big ship ported there.
Anna walked slowly towards the ship. Her family are right behind her. Along the way, she can hear lots of people saying things like, "Do your best!" "Knock them dead" "Show them what Whale Island people are made of." .Anna gulped as arrived at the ship. She turned to her family and gave them each a nice, big, warm hug. As she letting go of her mother, she heard footsteps coming towards her from behind. She turned around and saw, an average height man with brown hair standing in front of her.
"You're Anna RoseJoy?" asked the man her with a smile. Anna could tell that he is a nice guy and all, but she do not want to make that assumptions just yet. Anna just nod her head politely. "Good. The name Felix. Nice to meet you. Come on." Felix walked back onto the ship with Anna following him. The plank was raised and ship set sail.
Slowly leaving the docks and the people waved their arms around to the girl saying goodbye to her. Anna waved back and doubled the effort after spotting her family and Mito in the crowd below.
"I will return! Wait for me! I will be the world's greatest Hunter!" Anna shouted as she continue to waved, without realizing what's in store for her.
Felix stared at Anna from a few feet behind her. 'Whale Island's fourth applicant?' Felix thought to himself. 'There might be potential in her'. Felix smiled at the girl. He took out a photograph from his pocket and stared at it. In the picture, there was eight figure. Felix could not help but noticed that at the farthest right, stood him wearing a big smile while holding up his Hunter license to the camera in his left hand and put his right arm on the shoulder of a kid with a broken arm. The Felix in the picture was eight years younger than Felix holding the photograph. "It's been a while now. Right Gon?"
After tiring her arms with all that waving, Anna stood there motionless before skipping herself to Felix. Felix saw her coming and quickly hide the photo and act natural. "So, Felix-san…." began Anna before Felix raised his hand indicating her to stop from continuing her sentence. "Just Felix. I'm not that older than you." Felix explained with a nice smile. Anna started to blush a little before turning around and patted her cheeks to keep the blush away while mentally screaming 'WHAT ARE YOU DOING ANNA? YOU JUST MEET THIS GUY FOR TEN MINUTES AND YOU'RE ALREADY THINK HE IS CUTE?'. Felix just stared at Anna's back before raised his hand to calm the girl down.
"Are you okay Anna-chan? If not, I could get a doctor. There's one on this ship." he stated. Anna quickly turned around and gave him a thumbs up. "I'm okay! Just peachyyyyyy…." Her sentence just stop when she saw something over Felix's shoulder that caused her words to stuck at her throat.
