the selected. (a selection fanfiction)

PROLOGUE.

"And last but not least... hang on. well this is new,

yet the final girl chosen for the selection, from caste 6,

Miss Adeline Rose Gold."

After hearing those words I knew everything was about to change.

*5 DAYS EARLIER*

7:35am - Adeline P.O.V

"ADDDYYYYYY! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up please!" I groan as I open my weary eyes to my very enthusiastic younger sister Elena shaking her stuffed rabbit vigorously. As I prop myself up on my elbow, I let out a weak yawn.

"Yes El." I say staring at my wide smile little sister.

"It's time to wake up silly." She giggles. "Mum's already left for work and made pancakes so get up before the boys do!" She crosses her arms with a determined look on her face for me to get up and I give in.

"Alright little bun, I'll be down in a minute, save me some pancakes." I say,and she grins widely, nodding her head, and speeds down stairs.

Looking at the clock it reads 7:39am. I sigh knowing I have to work for the Keating's today, meaning constant cleaning of their large home, and listening to their obnoxious son sending me "smart" remarks the entire time. I'm grateful though, the Keating's pay me enough to help my family stay firmly on our feet, if I didn't work for them I'd feel hopeless, not able to help fend for my family, especially since I am 17.

I grab my robe and make my way downstairs, and find an eager Elena sitting at the kitchen table eating her pancakes while talking to my youngest older brother Nic.

"Morning sunshine." Nic says in a fake tease like cheery voice.

"Please don't tell me you've demolished all the pancakes already fatty?" I shoot back at him.

"You know sis, I could call Jake to come down and he can demolish them for me if you don't want to play nice." He says taking a bite of his pancake.

"Well then, pass me a plate." We both laugh, I was closest with Nic and El, more than my other 2 older brothers. Our family consists of our mother who is rarely home because she's always working, my eldest brother Dimitri is 21 and married and living with his wife April, who are also expecting their first baby which is so exciting. Then theres my second eldest brother Jake, he works as a waiter and is a quite guy but when with him he always makes me laugh. Next is Nic, Nic's a year older than me and thinks that just because he's a year older it makes him better than me. News flash, he's not. But he's my best friend.

Being a 6 we rarely make friends or have the time too because we're always working every second, and having Nic always be around is great, it's like when Dimitri first left, I felt like a part of me was missing, he was my big protective older brother who would never refuse a hug. Next in line is me, being the second youngest in front of 10 year old Elena. Elena's the happiest little girl you'll ever meet, I'm thankful everyday to have such an enthusiastic little sister, even if she can be a little bratty at times.

After breakfast I make my way to my room to get ready for work. I brush my thick, long dark brown hair and braid it so the braid falls on my back. I got dressed in old (but clean) clothes as you don't want to dress to fancy to clean someones house. Grabbing my supplies I kiss El goodbye and make my way to the Keating's.
