Season 1 - Episode 1
Adrienne's POV
(Addie)
I gently twirl a piece of my strawberry blonde hair between my fingers with a frown. My eyes slide over to the bright, fiery red hair of my twin as she quietly studies at our shared desk with rune textbooks stacked beside her. I wish my hair was more like hers. You're hair is absolutely beautiful Addie. My twins voice whispers in my head. Thanks Annie. I slump down onto our shared bed as I listen carefully to Jocelyn having a whispered conversation with Luke, activating my enhanced hearing rune through my magic instead of a stele. Something that only Annie and I can do.
The enhanced hearing rune
The normally dark black rune glows a mix of bright white and red as I listen to Luke bend to Jocelyn's will once again. Why even try to hide the call when she knows we have runes? Fucking idiot. Annie snorts beside me, obviously picking up on my inner monologue. You know I'm right. Why do you think I snorted? I send her a light smile until I hear heavy footsteps coming our direction. I quickly jump off the bed, grabbing my wooden staff and pretend to practice my foot work.
Annie sits up straighter and continues pouring over her rune work, her textbooks scattered around the desk. The wooden door slams open and I have to hold back a flinch. My eyes meet the cold green of Jocelyn's, our mother if you could even call her that. "Adrianna, Clary will be here soon. So you two will give her the gifts you got her. Then you will follow her all night, do not let her out of your sight" she explains in a clipped tone. I nod and Jocelyn turns around, slamming the door shut behind her. Paddles, Annie's pet duck, jumps and lets out a large quack at Jocelyn. I nod in agreement, petting his small head.
Fucking bitch. Literally can't even be bothered to get our names right. I let out a sigh and set my staff down beside Cannibals tank. He is a small black night leopard gecko, with large grey eyes. He is curled underneath his heat lap but he cracks one eye open to look at me before yawning. He pads off his log and up the tank, right into my hands. I kiss his little head then stick him on the bed next to Paddles who snuggles up to him. I slink to our shared closet to pick out some clothes more appropriate for babysitting. "Do you need help finding something Annie?" I ask softly as she stands there tugging at the end of her natural curls.
Annie is quiet and tends to stay in the background, letting anyone run over her. So I make sure she's taken care of, I mean I am the older twin. Only by thirty minutes you shit. Annie's voice rings out in my head and I let out a chuckle at her red cheeks before rifling through our closet. I pick out matching black outfits for us, per usual. Jocelyn doesn't allow us any colored clothing other than black. Not that it bothers me. Though it does bother Annie.
My eyes trail to the box that's stuffed full of colorful clothes that I've gotten her over the years and I mentally remind myself to get her something new. Quickly shuffling through the clothes, I easily find us both outfits. I give Annie a over-sized black sweater, black leather jeans, and black Doc Martens. I can see the small smile tugging at her lips as she grabs the soft sweater, pulling it to her face and rubbing it against her skin with a soft content sigh. I grab a black tank top, black ripped jeans, my favorite black leather jacket, and black Doc Martens.

Addie's outfit

After quickly changing and letting our curls hang freely, we both swipe a small amount of makeup on. Then I grab Clary's presents that Jocelyn forced us to buy. I got her a new leather sketchbook with watercolor pens while Annie got her a new set of oil paints and a set of canvases. Annie spent hours trying to find the perfect gift but I just got her the first thing I grabbed. Annie takes my hand in hers as we place our gifts on the table beside the others. We both sit on the couch, waiting for the birthday girl as Jocelyn frantically runs around the kitchen.
Of course she gets all those presents. Annie's voice whispers in my mind. My heart sinks at her tone and I squeeze her hand. You always get more than her anyways, even if it's just from me. She smiles lightly and gently sits her head on my left shoulder. I kiss her head as we wait for Clary to show up or Jocelyn to threaten us. Jocelyn mutters to herself as she cooks dinner, no doubt only for her and Clary. I side eye Annie with a smirk want some Chinese food again? Her head perks up at the mention of food. Only if we order from Jade Wolf again! They have the best sweet and sour chicken and lo mein!
Before I can answer, a loud bang and footsteps ring out from the front door. Jocelyn immediately turns towards us with a sharp glare "Adrianna, you two better behave. Understood?" We both nod yes and she simply turns away without another word. Clary bounds through the front door with a broad smile. "You did it!" Jocelyn shrieks and I wince at the high volume. My ears have always been very sensitive, making day-to-day life a little harder. My hearing has actually been slowly declining as I age, another reason I learned ASL. Annie and I usually speak to eachother telepathically so I don't have to worry about using sign language with her but she does know ASL too. Annie gently pats my arm with a rueful smile.
I'm broken from my thoughts by Clary swiping her gifts from the table and harshly opening them. "Oh! These oil paints are beautiful! And the canvases are absolutely divine! Thank you Adrianna!" Annie beams at the compliment and gladly takes Clary in her arms. She always sees the good in people, where as I just hate everyone. I'm done getting hurt and the easiest way to do that is to just not care. I don't let people in, therefore I don't get hurt. Clary snarls her nose at the watercolor pens I got her, tossing them aside before ripping open my other present. Her eyes widen at the thick leather sketchbook and she genuinely smiles. Her eyes meet mine "thanks Adrianna!" She pulls me into a tight hug that I quickly jerk away from.
Clary has a hurt look on her face as Jocelyn throws me a dirty glare and I narrow my eyes in her direction, slowly pulling my middle finger up. Before we can start another fight though, Simon walks in. Oh my frenemy. My attention immediately goes to him as I smile devilishly at the nerdy boy and he shakes his head throwing his hand up in my direction dramatically. "Not today Satan!" He states sassily with a laugh, before hugging me and Annie. He then bounds over to a angry Clary and pulls her into a long hug, making her smirk in our direction. Does she think we want Simon? Because that would be.. gross. Annie's giggles run through my head and I crack a smile. But my attention is caught by a shiny piece of metal that was being placed in Clary's hands. A stele? She gave that idiot who has no idea of the Shadowhunter world, a stele?!
Clary's Stele
Annie's Stele
Addie's Stele
The door opens once again to reveal Luke, a tall dark skinned cop or otherwise known as Jocelyn's boyfriend. He holds a box of spray paint, with a neatly wrapped bow on top, close to his chest. He smiles at Jocelyn and Clary, completely ignoring us per usual. He pulls them both into a hug, looking like the perfect little family. A stab of pain hits my heart and I slump further into the couch, with Annie's head on my shoulder.
I start to let my mind wander and space out until it's time for us to leave. Annie shakes my arm motioning to Clary and Simon leaving. I nod, grab her hand, and follow behind the two naive teenagers. This is going to be a long night of babysitting. Annie nods her head before jumping on my back with a smile. "Okay but only to Simons gig, then you're on your own!" I reply and she nods her head with a smile. Her giggles ring out as I easily walk down the steps with her on my back.
A little while later and we are all piled around Simon's van as Clary repaints it. I'm sitting on the top with Annie on my right. Simon sits half way on the roof and half off, towards the back and my left. Maureen stands on the ground watching closely and judging Clary's art. "I still think you should choose The Deathnotes, Si" I say with a finger pointing in his direction. He shoots me a grin and pretends to think about it.
Simon then turns to Maureen, who has her nose snarled up and shakes her head no. "Well if you ever want a better guitarist you have my number" I reply, holding eye contact with a red Maureen. Annie pulls on my sleeve pointing to Clary, who has wandered off and is talking animatedly with a blonde man. I roll my eyes and jump down, leaving Annie with Simon. "Does that line ever work for you" I hear Clary flirt, while twirling her hair. Ew. I snarl my nose at her blatant flirting and look at the blonde.
He's tall with wavy, almost platinum blonde hair that seems to glow even in the dark. His eyes, one blue and one brown, are a deep golden color in the middle that shines like the sun almost having a feeling of warmth to them. I break eye contact, my eyes trailing down his form quickly noticing the obvious black Shadowhunter tattoos that cover his toned body. His all black clothes stick to his body like a second skin and shows off his chiseled chest. My eyes meet his with a smirk "Come on Clary, this guy is obviously just a douche" I mutter while pulling her away.
She smiles and murmurs "thanks Adrianna." I bite my tongue to hold back my rude reply and just nod back. I put my hand on the small of her back and push her towards the van. Suddenly, my arm is snatched back by warm hands and a slight tingly sensation. I react almost immediately, flipping over whoever grabbed me, forcing them to land harshly on their back. I have their arm backwards and my boot on their back. Clary shrieks, thinking I hurt the guy. The blonde grunts before slightly moving and throwing me down on my ass with a smirk. My mouth drops open as he puts out a hand for me. I sigh and ignore his outstretched hand, a little unnerved by the tingly affect he has on my body.
His eyes finally meet mine and my world stops. A tingly sensation fills my whole body while butterflies dance in my stomach. A warm sensation spreads from my left wrist and my brain feels like cotton candy as I try to voice an apology, something I don't do often. "I- I um, I'm Adrienne Fray but everyone calls me Addie" I mutter with red cheeks.
My eyes focus on my shoes, as I silently curse myself. Seriously? Beating up your soulmate? Gods he's going to reject me I just know it. The man slowly approaches me, easily towering over my figure. He slightly tilts my chin up, leveling my eyes with his. "I apologize, I should not have grabbed you like that. My name is Jace Wayland" he replies before accepting the bond. I beam with a bright smile and accept the bond back.
At this point a man behind us yells "Jace let's go!" And he quickly hands me his phone to put my number in. I hand his phone back, immediately getting a text from him. I smile and save the number "see you around Jace." He smiles softly before running into Pandemonium I turn around to find Clary glaring daggers at me, while Simon and Maureen look confused. Annie on the other hand is beaming at me, knowing exactly who I met. Before I can reach the group though, Clary takes off her jacket and rushes into the club. "Your fake ID sucks!" Simon yells as the red-head disappears in the crowd. I roll my eyes before helping Annie down from the roof of the car.
I gently take her hand and we make our way into Pandemonium. The lights dance around the room, throwing rainbows everywhere and fog litters the air. The music is loud and the bass is thumping in beat with my massive headache. The club is packed with hot, sweaty adults grinding on each other. I snivel my nose in distaste at the humans and pull Annie tighter to me.
Clary went to the VIP section. Annie's voice states in my head. Of course she did! I sigh, pinching the bridge of my nose before ducking behind the curtains. I notice the demons immediately and smirk. Ready to fight? Born ready! Annie whips out her sereph blade that glows a bright purple, along with her eyes. I take mine out with magic and twirl it between my fingers. "Let do this shit" I smirk with fiery red eyes.
Their sereph blades
They look like the first photo but are the red and purple color like in the second photo
- Addie's is red, Annie's is purple -
Annie takes the left and I take the right. I twirl my blade one last time before grabbing it tightly and slash through a demon, leaving nothing but dust. I smirk as my eyes burn with fire and chaos magic. Magic thrums through my veins and they feel like molten lava. I eye Annie as she simply taps the demon with her blade, a small giggle falling from her lips as the creature turns to dust. Her eyes burning a bright purple.
Annie's eyes
Addie's eyes
While my back is turned, a huge male wraps his arms around my neck before sinking his teeth in my neck. I scream out, jamming my blade into him and effectively killing him. My left hand immediately covers my neck before activating my healing rune. I snarl as I see a demon coming from behind Annie, I throw my blade through the air, hitting the male demon right in the forehead. Annie nods in thanks before gently tapping another demon. A arrow zooms past me, barely missing my face and imbeds itself into the chest of the last demon who was sneaking up behind me.
I turn my head to find the archer who saved my life but I'm grabbed harshly by a cold hand. Clary swipes Annie's hand before dragging us away. I simply wave bye to the hot archer and Jace with a smirk, allowing Clary to continue pulling me away. Evidently she wasn't paying attention though because she bumps into a man, almost knocking us all down. Clary drops my hand as I fall into the tall stranger. Who conveniently catches me by the hips, leaving a tingling sensation along my skin.
I stabilize myself, going to grab Annie's hand but Clary sprints away with my twin in tow. Annie's frantic eyes meet mine as she's drug away by the carrot head. I sigh turning to the man whose hands still linger on my exposed skin. He has large yellow cat eyes with thick eyeliner smudged around them, making them pop even more. Warlock. And a powerful one at that. His ears are adorned with many piercings, just like my own and his skin is a beautiful honey color. He has short-ish black hair styled upwards and a light smirk sits on his handsome face. Glitter litters his whole body, making him look ethereal in the club lights.
He quickly takes his hands away as our eyes meet and that tingly sensation hits again. My left wrist burns and I feel him immediately accept the bond as his hands cup my face. "I've finally found you" he whispers. I accept the bond back, feeling it solidify as my cheeks turn a dark scarlet. "While I would love to stay and chat, I do need to get home to my twin. I can give you my number and we can chat later?" I ask with the slight turn of my head. He smiles and nods yes, before handing over his phone. I put my number in and boldly kiss his cheek before all but sprinting out of the club. I go to a dark corner before using my magic to teleport home. Red smoke fills the alleyway and my feet lift from the ground before I'm sat back down. The smoke clears and I'm left standing by a furious Jocelyn.
I back up as Annie runs to my side, holding onto me tightly with tears streaming down her face. Clary frowns at the lack of attention and runs to Jocelyn, crying hysterically. "What happened? I though I told you to watch her Adrianna!" She yells, keeping eye contact with me. "My name is Adrienne, you fucking bitch. You've had 19 years to get it right and you still can't seem to grasp that you have three children, not two. And news flash, we did keep her safe. Her nosey ass is the reason we ran into demons and Shadowhunters in the first place!" I scream, as the fire builds inside me. Jocelyn reacts quickly, slapping my cheek harshly.
My head whips to the side from the force, a stinging sensation taking over my left cheek. A warmth blossoms on my bottom lip and my tongue darts out, only to taste pennies. I swipe my hand over my mouth, smearing the blood on my face rather than cleaning it off like I hoped. I gently push Annie away towards Clary as a deep sting sets in on my left cheek. I wipe the remaining blood from my lip, seeing my black and gold blood shining on the back of my hand. I arch a brow and let out a humorless laugh, my eyes burning red. Jocelyn takes a step back, fear in her eyes but her face remains stoic. Her eyes dart towards Clary briefly and I narrow my eyes at her.
The twins blood
The fire continues to rage in my chest, begging to be let go and I feel the familiar sensation of heat pressing against my palms. "Mother of the year here, huh? You're pathetic! I hope father finds you and-" I'm cut off as Jocelyn tackles me to the ground with a scream. My magic finally lets loose, as I shout and push Jocelyn off of me. Flames lick my skin and quickly spread to the rest of the apartment, leaving Clary and Annie untouched.
The door hurls open, hitting the wall with a thud, to reveal Dot. Her eyes widen at the situation and her eyes narrow at me. She reacts immediately and quickly throws me through a portal. My eyes frantically move to Annie as I'm drug through black hole and I grip the side of the portal opening. I manage to catch a glimpse of her tear soaked face and arms outstretched towards me before everything goes black.
The portal slams closed and I'm stuck falling through pure blackness. I close my eyes, focusing on safety and comfort. I slowly stop falling before I land harshly on the ground. "Ow" I mutter, rubbing my back. "Adrienne?" I hear a deep voice call, my mind going into overdrive. I know that voice. My head snaps to the man, with thick white hair and bright blue eyes, that stands in front of me.
"Daddy?"
Authors note: well there's the first chapter! I know I didn't go exactly with the plot but I wanted to change a few things. I was originally going to mix POV's but I prefer to just stick with Annie's POV for the most part :)
• How did you all like this chapter?
• Do you like the twins and their personalities?
• Do you think she met her mates too soon? They won't be seeing her again for a few chapters so I figured might as well meet two at least.
• How do you feel about Jocelyn and Clary? Did I change them too much?
• Do you like their weapons? I wanted something extra for them. Like their blood which will be very important later.
• Do you want me to add a 'make your own OC' chapter like my other books or no?
• And finally, is there anything you'd like to see in future chapters? And questions or comments?
