Shadow

Chapter 1

This is the first fanfic that I've ever written so I'm sorry if it's bad and please feel free to leave constructive criticism In the comments or any tips.

I suppose a lot of teenage girls feel invisible sometimes like they just want to disappear. I guess you should be more careful about what your ask for or else your life could change in a heartbeat but I guess I should start from the beginning.

My name is Alexandra Queen but most people call me Alexa, and if you were wondering Alexa Queen as in Moira Queen's daughter and Oliver Queen's sister, then your correct. I am one of Oliver's younger sisters and Thea's older sister.

Today was the day that the gambit left I went to the docks to wait for my brother and father to board the ship and to say goodbye. After they left I went to get ready for school, I was a straight-A student and was going to apply for medical school next semester. All of a sudden I was called down to the office for early dismissal and I got greeted by Laurel and by the look on her face I knew something was wrong. So out of instinct, I asked "What's wrong?" I was very concerned and very confused at the same time because Laurel doesn't normally pick me up.  Laurel started to explain that my mother called her to pick me up and bring me home so I could find out what happened.  I just said "ok" and gathered my stuff not fully aware of what's going on. All I could tell is that Laurel's eyes swelled a little bit from crying.

Once I got home I heard the tv on, so I just followed the noise into the living room and once I saw the tv I froze. I don't know what happened, but I felt like I was paralyzed from head to toe. I couldn't hear anything around me all I felt were the tears dripping down my face.

A couple of hours went by and I was at Laurel's house because I couldn't stand seeing Oliver's things.  All of a sudden I hear a knock on the door. As Quentin answers the door I walk to see who was there and I was surprised to see my mother there instead of home. She had to be here for a reason because she just lost two family members. I was thinking of what she was here for but I got interrupted by my mom saying that we needed to talk. So Quentin, Laurel, my mom, and I all sat down in the living room as my mom tried to gather her thoughts.

After several silent minutes went by my mom started to speak "I went down to the docks" she paused for a moment then continued "and while I was down there I watched the surveillance cameras" tears started running down her eyes as she continued to speak "someone else went on the gambit..well snuck on." Quentin was still confused but Laurel knew exactly what happened. Well not exactly but enough to know that Oliver was having an affair with her sister, but at the time that didn't matter because two of the people that she loved were dead. Quentin broke the silence asking "Who was it?" not wanting to know. "I saw Sara sneak aboard the gambit, " Moira replied. "No, no this can't be happening" he pleaded. By then everyone was crying.

I'm sorry it's so short. I don't know what else to add here. Please leave suggestions in the comments.
