Magnus Bane strolled down the filthy streets of Tenth Avenue. He had too much free time before his next rave he would be hosting at his apartment. The stench was much too overbearing he almost gave up and was about to portal back to the comforts of his own home when he picked up a single scream that belonged to a girl. Feeling he needed something to do, Magnus weaved in and out of the waves of oncoming people. He ignored the profanity that was spit at him and continued his search.

He arrived at the corner of a poorly lit alley way. It was the perfect spot for crime since few people traveled by this part of town. His cat eyes saw through the darkness and was taken aback at the sight of a demon crouched over the cringing body of a young woman. Magnus quietly approached the two.

The Demon gave off a most unholiest of smells like garbage left to rot in the hot summer sun. Its skin was the color of pus and it had eight arms as well as eyes. The demon looked at Magnus through two of its eyes and instead of fighting off Magnus it clamped its mouth into the young girl's neck and began to drain her of blood. She cried out and swung at the demon as if she was swatting a fly. This pest grabbed her arms with two of its own to make it impossible for her to fight back.

Magnus sprang into action. "Release her you disgusting thing!" He ran at it conjuring up a long white sword. Magnus stabbed right where its heart was. , or where it should have been. The demon roared releasing its grip on the girl and rushed at Magnus with its claws. Magnus remembered Alec telling him that not all demons had hearts, that the most efficient way was decapitation. Magnus waited until the demon was in range and with a clean sweep the demons head fell to the ground only to burst into flames with the rest of its body. Magnus wiped the demons black blood off of his hands. A soft whimper from the girl meant she was still alive. The demons poison was still inside of her. No mundane hospital could save her or give her the treatment she needed. Magnus could not let her die.

Magnus approached the girl. She slumped awkwardly against the brick wall. He was wearing blue jeans shorts and a T shirt with smiley face on it. Beside her was a yellow scarf that had become soiled by the dirty water flowing through the alley.
"Don't worry." He said "I will help you."
The girl used the rest of her strength to look her rescuer in the eyes. What she saw horrified her.
She saw a man with spiky hair and gold and green cat eyes looking right at her.
"What are you?" She whispered. Before slipping into darkness...
