Your Selection

Chapter 3

You walk into the Women's room and see your mother reading a magazine, she doesn't have much time on her hands these days but she always makes sure that she has enough time to read her magazines, she's always loved them.  She looks up at you and says hey.
"Hey." You reply.
"Nervous?" She asks.
"No." You lie. This is the first time you are going to see them, you had a chance to see them last night but you couldn't work up the courage to go out and look a them.
"You will be okay." She says looking through my lie. "You know I didn't even want my selection."
"Yeah you told me, your parents pressured you into doing it because the citizens started to uprise."
"Uh huh, that's right but if I didn't have my Selection the country probably will be in rubble."
 I don't know if she is trying to make me feel better because it's really not working. Her Selection prevented a revolution, does that mean I will have to change the country with my selection, how can I do that, the country is already perfect.
She grabs my hand. "You ready?" She says.
"Yeah." You say, "Ready as I will ever be." 
"Your strong, beautiful, honest and trustworthy, they will have to love you." She says as we walk into the dinning room. They are all there every last one of them. As I enter many of the boys, Augustus, Willem, Adam, Aspen and a few others stand, as they stand the rest of them stands. You couldn't believe that you actually were managing to remember their names.  You couldn't help but smile one of these handsome men would be yours in a matter of weeks.
"You look beautiful princess." Someone you recognize as Levi says. You blush slightly and say thank you back. 
You take your place at the front of the table where you have to address them all. Just before you start you notice a few cameras in the background, for the report probably. That is the one bad thing about this experience there is so much cameras, no privacy, ever. "Um Hello, welcome to the Selection. I look forward to getting to know you all well over the next week, but I am only one person so I may not be able to get to know you all on a really personal level, I am very disappointed by that fact but it's the truth so sorry for that in advance.
"To start this of right I would like to talk to all of you over today's meal, one at a time. You will be meeting me in the next room over. We are going to do this by going along the table, starting with William and ending with Williem. So how about we get this started then. William if you please." 
Ugh that was so much talking, I bet they are already sick of me. They probably will be begging to go home after today. My eyes wonder to WIlliam's, he smiles and starts to walk toward me.
"My lady." He says as he reaches out his arm, you take it and we walk over to the next room and sit down.
"So William how was your night?" you say feeling awkward.
"It was okay." William said, "Your beds are so much more comfortable than back home. And it is just Will."
"And where do you come from again, Will?"
"I live at the London Institute."
 "The London institute right. and what is it that you do there?"
"I live there." 
"Yeah well I get that but what do you do."
"Normal stuff that people do at institutes, train, fight, learn."
"Uh huh." You say, still not quite knowing what they do. "What's those marks on your arms?"
"These are runes." Will says. "Shadowhunters draw them onto themself."
"What?"
"Mundane" He mutters. "Okay the first thing you need to know is that all the stories are true."
"Stories?" You feel really stupid.
"All the stories, werewolves, demons, vampires, faeries, warlocks all real."
"What! No they are not!"
"They are." He says, "That's why there is shadowhunters, to keep them away from mundanes like yourself."
"Right." You have no idea what he is talking about, you are starting to think that he is crazy.
"You will get it eventually, princess."He says as he starts to walk out of the room.
"Hey!" You shout, "You don't get to choose when you leave I do!" But he just waves and leaves.
Oh my god what the hell was he talking about, you are so confused. Are they all going to be that confusing. Shadowhunters? What does he mean. Ugh it was so confusing. 
Just as you pick up your tea someone else walks in. You can't remember his name. He walks in and sits next to you.
"My Majesty." He says, "How are you?"
"I am fine." You say and "How are you?" You felt really bad you didn't want him to know that you forgot his name.
"I'm great, I feel bad coming here though." He says. "I am here in this magnificent palace, eating food that I could never dream of having, sleeping in ridiculous comfort and wearing these perfect suits while everyone is starving back in 12."
12...you think trying to remember his name, the only place that uses numbers to name their districts is Panem, there is three people from Panem here; Gale, Peeta and Finnick. He couldn't be Finnick, Finnick is more attractive than this guy and you remember seeing him back at the dinning room and same goes for Gale, so he must be Peeta. You want to see if you remembered his name right so you say, What do you do in 12, Peeta, with caution.
"I bake." He says with a smile, you can see that he enjoys his work.
"Well maybe we could head over to the kitchens in the next few days and you can teach me how to bake, but just a warning I am a terrible baker."
"I would like that." He says with a smile, "And i'm sure you are a great baker."
"Trust me i'm not. you will see when we bake." You say with a smile. This has taken some time so I tell him that it is time for him to return to the dinning room.
"I look forward baking with you." He says as he walks out of the room. You smile back.    
The next man, you meet eyes, he has long eyelashes and his eyes are so dark that they are almost black.
"Good morning your majesty." 
"Good morning." You reply back. You can't keep your eyes off of his body, he is so handsome, every single aspect of his body is perfect. "Um so Four where are you from."
"I'm from Chicago, well sort of." He says, "These people were trying to make a society that works perfectly, where everyone has a spot but it didn't work out well."
"Why didn't it work?" You asks.
"People aren't meant to have only one spot where they belong, it's unnatural." He says, looking into your E/C with his dark eyes. "Over time people realized this and shit went down."
"Oh. That's horrible." You say. "Um sorry to cut this short but we are on a time schedule today and our time has just ran out, please return to the dinning room and cal the next person in please."
"Oh okay." He says, you can detect a little bit of disappointment in his voice. "Talk to you latter, bye."
Fang walks in, you can immediately tell it's him by his shaggy black hair. You have looking forward to meeting Fang because he is a 'human bird-kid' well at least that's what his file says.
"Hey." He says. 
"Good morning." You reply, "Have you been enjoying your stay?"
"Yeah, it's so nice to have some comfort for once."
"You don't live anywhere right? Just keep moving?" You ask.
"That's right. We settled once or twice but the erasers keep on following us."
"The erasers," You scoff, "What are they going to do? Rub you out?"
"Haha very funny." He scowls, "They could kill you in a second." 
"Could they now," You say, "I'm stronger than I look you know."
"Alright," He says, "You and me, fight, lets see how strong you really are."
"Your on. Tomorrow, after lunch." You say.
"Alright see you then," Fang says, "Watch your back, I'm not going to go easy on you." He says with a smile. Then he leaves
The next few Gale, Finnick and Uriah weren't that interesting but they all were very nice and extremely good looking. The next person to walk in is Augustus Waters. Augustus had bad posture, a striking blue eye, mahogany hair and walked with a lip.
"Good morning princess." He says with the sweetest smile.
"Morning." I say with a smile, "How have you been enjoying your stay." You have said that to most of the selectioners.
"I'm loving it." He looks deep into me.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" You ask.
"Because your beautiful," He says, "I like to look at beautiful things." You blush, no one except your mothers have called you beautiful.
"Thank you." You say accepting the compliment. There is an awkward silence, so you do whatever you can to end it, and all you can think of is getting him out of the room. "Um thank you Augutus that will be all for now." He walks out. OMG that was the worst one yet, not Augutus, hes adorable, sweet and kind but the awkwardness ughhhh.
The next person Jem was really nice, he was just adorable. You wish that you could could've spent more time with him. He really helped explain what Will was going on about before with the shadowhunters and stuff. It turns out that there is a world inside our own and these shadowhunters protect us from the vampires, werewolfs and the other monsters.
The next person who walked through those doors was Jace.
"Hello." He says.
"Hey." you say. "So your a shadowhunter to?"
"Nah, I just painted these marks on my arms because I think they look cool." 
You roll your eyes. "Your a Herondale? like Will?"
"I am a Lightwood." He replies.
"But your file says your a Herondale."
"Well I technically am. But they aren't my family."
"So is Will your brother?" You ask.
"No!" Jace says, "He's like my great grandfather. Alec is my real brother."
"Wait what!" You exclaim, how can he be his great grandfather, your head starts to hurt.
"He is my great grandfather."
Your mother walks in.
"Darling." She says. "Times up, it is the next person's turn."
You say sorry to Jace and he leaves.
The next man, Simon was such a nerd like seriously he's like exactly what you think of when you think of nerd. Except for one thing he was hot. He was actually really nice to, he was a definite probability.
The next person was Newt, like Augustus he walked with a limp, but unlike Augustus he wouldn't tell me how he got it. He was really sweet and very cute, but I get the feeling that he is hiding something from me.
Next was Minho. He is nearly the most sassiest little shit you have ever met. But I think if you get to know him better he would be extremely kind and sweet. 
Thomas walked in next.
"Good Morning you majesty." Thomas says.
"'Morning Thomas." You say.
"Look princess I have to do something, last night I did something against the rules of the Selection."He says, what did he do, did he steal something why was he telling you, I would have to kick him out if he told me.
"No Thomas." You say, "Don't tell me. If you tell me I will have to kick you out, it's the rules."
"But I feel bad I need to tell someone."
"Do you want to get kicked out I say?" 
"No." He says.
"Well then don't tell me. I want to get to know you Thomas but if you did something bad and I found out you would need to let you go." You say, You really want to know what he has done but you can't know. Although he could tell you and you could just not do anything about it. No You can't do that. It is your duty as the future queen to be honest and bring justice on criminals. "This conversation is over Thomas please return to the dinning room and call the next person in."
You feel a little bit of regret watching him walking out that door without telling you what he did. But you forget about it when the next person comes in.
The next person is Adrian. Adrian was the hottest person you knew times ten, he was friken stunning, and you could tell that he was brave and selfless. To be honest he was the most perfect person ever. Adrian had deepest shade of emerald green eyes in the world. To be honest the only thing that put you off Adrian was that he was a smoker.
The next Selectioner was Patch. Patch was creepy hot. He wasn't so hot that it was creepy but he looked creepy, rapey even. You could tell he was hiding alot, he wouldn't tell you much about his self and kept pushing the conversation back towards you. To be honest he sacred you a little bit.
Iggy turned out to be blind which was interesting. He doesn't let his disability stop him, he can tell where things are really well even if he has never been their before. You hope that he doesn't get lost in the palace though.
Dylan, Harry, Ron, Draco, Quentin and Miles were pretty much what you would expect apart from Draco was a little bit mean. You were so tied by this point you have been here for hours, you can't even imaging how bored the boys would be just sitting there. They would have stopped eating hours ago, maybe they have started lunch.
Isaac turned out to be blind like Iggy as well except he lost his vision through cancer while Iggy lost his by being a test subject to an experiment.
You thought Dimitri was a little old for you but then again Will was apparently bonr in the 1800's so compared to him Dimitri was a baby.
The next person who walked through those double doors was Percy.
Hey," he greets casually with a toothy grin."Good morning," you reply cheerfully. "Have you been enjoying yourself here?""Yes I have, actually. The food is very nice." He said, "They even gave me a blue coke.""What is it with you and blue food?""Don't question it.""You go on quests right?" you said, changing the subject from food."Yeah, but not too often.""Aren't there monsters or something?"He raises his eyebrows. "Yes they are. A lot, actually. Demigods seem to be their favorite snack.""What do they use you as a toothpick?"He chuckles softly. "Toothpicks? No they kill you.""Shouldn't you be dead then?""Yes. They're very powerful, especially titans. They could kill you easily."I cross my arms across my chest. "You think I'm weak?""No. I'm just saying that you would need someone to protect you.""You think I can't defend myself?""Yes. I mean no. I've just never seen you fight and you're not a demigod or-""Or am I?"He rolls his eyes. "Oh sure. If you were a demigod you would have been killed by a monster ages ago.""Or maybe I'm just so skilled I've killed them all.""Who's your godly parent then?" he quizzes.You think about it for a bit. He caught you off guard. "Um... Hera?"He laughs. "Is that the only god you know?""Well, if I had said Poseidon you wouldn't have believed me.""I hate to break it to you but Hera is more unbelievable.""Sure he is. I need to go, my parents are calling. I'll see you around.""Or maybe you won't. Maybe I'll send a monster to kill you to see if they really could kill you.""Or maybe I'll just tell my parents to kick you out.""Or maybe I'll slice your head off with my sword. See you 'round." He winks at me before he heads the other direction.Aspen was from Illea which was a surprise. But an even bigger surprise was that he was a guard in the palace. That freaked you out a bit. You didn't even know all the guards that have been looking after you since you were a baby name's. But either way Aspen was really nice apart from the awkwardness of him being a guard.
Victor was really old as well, you two didn't really click.
The rest of them; Will, Christian, Magnus, Gally, Adam, Levi and Willem were all really nice. You didn't know how you were going to get to know them all there is way to many. You had to kick some out, there is way to many. You wanted to get to know them all but you couldn't. So you went over to the dinning room to kick a few of them out.
