Chapter 1

Blackness?

My body felt cold

"Whoa what?"

I heard the voice, I growled arghh what now. My groggy eyes opened to pitch black as I sighed, wanting to fall back to sleep. I saw a shining lighting through the door way the door, creaked open. My body jerked up, flying out of bed as my hands waved around creating a white pure dust like gas. The door flew closed and a large boom was heard I smirked, wonder who or what demon wanted me now? I Should probably go back to the safe hold with Mag because there has been a rising rate of demons, I thought while placing my middle finger on my lips.

I looked to the floor deep in thought, ignoring the threat which was outside, hmm I should report back to Mag about what I was sent out for, I needed to collect info about why has there been a uprising of demons coming after us? And why Warlocks are falling dead…which I kinda haven't got? But how would I find it without bloody being captured by one.

Any-who I thought while finally paying attention to the fact that there were demons out there trying to kill me a smirk appeared on my face hehe time for some fun I raised my hands my eyes covering fully white as an aura around my hands killed the darkness.

"Mag"

"MAG"

"Magus" I called for the last time as, I kicked the door in seeing the lights still on, my brown hair waving behind me as I smirked knowing he wouldn't like that I kicked his 'special creation' or ruined it his lairs hah.

"MAGUSSS" I yelled, getting annoyed. A slight smirk rose to my face as I walked into the 'special creation' throwing myself on the massive sofa clicking my fingers, a white aura surrounded my body as my clothes changed. My long brown hair which was blonde at the tips was in curls lose curls, no make-up just how I like it. I have a large band shirt on ACDC which reached my mid-thigh covering everything, plan black with the red writing as I have on small skins you couldn't see them.

He probably will be home soon, he is probably at the club. I smiled while grabbing the tv remote clicking on. Looking through channels to watch while I jumped up humming to myself grabbing some soda out of the fridge. Sitting back down humming as I watched the news drinking some soda, putting my feet up on the coffee table.
I have stayed like that for a while until I heard a loud thud, hearing some voices. Magus should be back by now.
"Yes, this safe house is in deed much safer than the other, because it has a lot of secrets that the shadow world have yet to find out" I heard Mags voice I sensed many other people with him.
"Mag?" I called, pushing my head backwards on the sofa watching as Magus came into the room smiling holding his arms out "Oh yes I am finally home" he called I shifted a giggle…my chocolate brown eyes lighting up.

"Hey? Who are all the people…" I asked sounding confused jumping off the sofa as they walked over, I saw the group a gorgeous black head aww she looks older than me but so gorgeous. I smiled showing my pearl white teeth. A fiery I swear she has orange hair? Green eyes board like body pretty but close to her was a tall male, blonde hair flipped to the side they all had tats. I waved as they looked at magus surprised? What?

"This is my little one- "

"I'm 19 mag? I'm not little" the warlock waved me off, I scoffed crossing my arms. "anyway, I'm Raven "I waved at them.

"izzy" the pretty one held her hand out, a smile whipped on my face.

"Oh!" I yelled "It's you, Jace, Clairy and izzy" I smiled they looked at me in surprise. I waved my hand realising how stalkerish I seemed.

"Cause of Mag? I know everything that's been happening even with Valentine" I handed off as Jaces eyes narrowed.

"How old are you" I grunted at him? Seriously.

"Look " I growled stalking up to the tall blonde, Jace wasn't that taller than me well he didn't tower over me anyway.

"Alright enough of that cookie? Alright we have more pressing matters? Yes, we do, don't we?" Mg called from the bar at which he was drinking I sighed.

"um" Clairy looked uncomfortable as she looked on, she was sending a glare this way…okay nice.

"So" I called parking my arse on the table putting one leg other the other, looking at the group.

"Well Magus mind explaining why you have a 16-year-old cooped up here? Mainly, naked?"

I was starting to get very annoyed? What was there problem, but it was the Clairy chick this time?

"Oh shut up" I snapped looking at the tall blonde and the orange, they looked taken back and angry well only the orange did.

"Anyway? Let's get down to it yes? So, I will be sending Raven back with you to help with whole situation that's why Ale-"

"We get it Magus, but why does that? Have to come with us?" Clairy asked, I felt a streak of pain flash through my chest, that orange doesn't even know me? Argh great. I looked up at the celling not looking anywhere at the shadow hunters, if Magus wants me to go with them back then I will but if that twat doesn't shut her mouth I will forcefully shut it.

"Um? Clairy you're the one who wants to get her mother back?" Jace kept his voice down as he held her forearm, I notice her look of attraction…hmm great let's hope they don't get in the way of what needs to be done.

"I know Jace, I just don-"

"Well lovely to know, who gives a rat arse it isn't about me? Isn't about you either, it's about what has to be done against Valentine isn't it?" I huffed out? Seriously within 5 minutes of meeting her? It's about her argh great. I sent a glare at Magus, Mag probably knowing that I can't take these types of girls.

"Anyway, we would be happy to have you Raven" I smiled nodding at Izzy aw she sounds nice. There was an awkward silence between us all as Mag just looked on…

This place. Is just…Izzy has been showing me around and wow it's so pretty and everyone here is either ignoring me or sending me glares, so I'm guessing the clave isn't that friendly when it comes to warlocks hmm that's actually good to know.

I smiled as Izzy showed me to my room, so Jace and Izzy are very very nice I like them, a smirk appeared on my lips as I sat on the bed. "So Izzy got any lovers" I winked laughing she gave a giggle.

"Maybe..heh" Izzy had a slight red tint to her face, as a smile played on her face. I shook my head holding my hands up like I was praying "Sorry, that's none of my concern I just haven't had much well…any female friends for a while" I huff out, damn it now I probably sound stalker-ish again.

Izzy rasied a eyebrow "what? No no no its alright, it's nice to have another female who cares, how long have you been cooped up with Magus" Izzy soft voice made my heart quicken as she sat on the bed also right in front of me.

"Not by force" I smiled has she nodded, hm I like Izzy. She stood up noticing it wasn't a topic I like. "Come on, we probably need to regroup and see what the next step is" she threw over her shoulder while walking out the door, a small smile played on my face hmm I wonder what Magus is doing sending me here it couldn't be by chance either, he sent someone called Alec to go get me permission…just got to figure out what it is. I huffed as I pulled my hair out of my face and shut my door, finding my way to the control room.

Alec POV

I can't believe we are letting a war lock back into the bloody, Institute, a war lock. I was fuming when Jace told me, plus when the down-worlder ordered! Me to ask the clave. I hissed at Jace one last time as we all head into the control room which had a massive table set up for us to use. I made my way next to Jace still pissed off so I didn't look at him, no I was glaring at the door waiting for this so called 'strongest warlock' to come through the door, I was told that Izzy was taking care of them hmm must be a male then. I shook my head why! Are we all doing this! We need to report to the glaive about Valentine and what happened with Simon! It has been 3 weeks and no one! NO ONE has said anything…plus Jace keeps defending Clairy.

I turned on all the panels, all the info of Valentine appearing because WE must update the bloody down worlder who probably can't even help us, or wants a damn price, wonder what it will be this time? If I voice this Jace will yell at me, and Clairy will go cry. I growl as I cross my rams leaning back, thinking about what we are doing!

"Alec"

"Alec"

I finally realise someone was calling my name, I glare to the side to see my sister looking with a worried expression. I roll my eyes I love Izzy but! I really don't need this she likes Clairy I for one don't.

"Big brother the warlock is about to come down, why don't you try and be nice this time?" Izzy asked in a sassy tone, I faced the short female with a sharp jerk.

"Izzy what are we doing! We are all about to what! Worth ship the down worlder no! we should be going after Valentine or reporting to the Clave about Simon, no! I repeat no! Caring about a useless bloody warlock who probably just wants a damn price for the shit they are going to " I hold two fingers up ( " that thingy") " that is going to aid us" I growled raising my voice!

I noticed Simon, Jace, Clairy have all entered the room, my glare was full blaze on them all…

"Um wow, Mr Big shot has some anger issues?" I snapped my head to see who said it, my eyes large, mouth open as I saw a tall-ish female. She has silly brown hair that went into a light blonde the tips her hair was down to her hip, her pearl white teeth shining back at me…she had the most chocolate brown eyes that I was locked onto…she was breath taking…I let my eyes wander down below her sharp jaw line, she had amazing sun kissed long slender legs…my heart was racing. She wore a tight long sleeved white top which you could see her black bra under…especially since she wasn't a flat chest…the shirt didn't cover her below her rip cage which you saw toned muscle. My stomach doing flips as I saw baggy blue jeans with some cuts in them…

"I'm eh Alec" my mouth moved on its own, as I locked eyes with the female again a smile on my face..i didn't know what I was doing. She had a massive smile on her pretty face…ALEC PULL IT TOGETHER! My thoughts screamed in my head.

"well maybe the 'price' I want is you" she winked. I felt my face temp rise as I shook my head, GET IT TOGETHER! SHE LOOKS LIKE A- my thoughts were interrupted as Izzy laughed.

"So Alec, Simon this is Raven, she is the Warlock Magus sent us" she giggled standing next women now wait! What! She doesn't look over 18!

"Warlock?" I questioned staring at the girl…

"Yea? I'm-"her voice was cut off, as I stared at the ground! What is happening with me!

"You don't look old?" Simon blurted out while, staring at her chest which was very noticeable. I didn't make eye contacted again as I keep my eyes to the ground, look Alec you need a little rest all this stress is making you act funny is all, I told myself while I grunted in annoyance of Simon.

"Hey Vamp mind minding your own bee wax's" she scoffed crossing her arms, I still was trying to keep my eyes on the floor.

"Wh-" Simon voice squealed.

"Don't talk to Simon that way Down-Worlder" Clairy hissed, Jace looked disgusted as he glances at Clairy my gut tightens.

"Oh you have been here what 2 minutes! You can't go around shaming! A warlock you barely know what one is!" I snap at the girl, Clairy then shoots a look at Jace who doesn't look at her.

"Um Clairy right, yea Clairy your 'best friend' is a down worlder?" Raven calls while walking in the room with Izzy they walk up to the table.

Clairy looks upset as she scoffs and grabs Simons hand, I notice Jace smirk a tad looking at the warlock.

"whoa alright, what about everyone gets off my case? Because we are large problems to deal with hm like Valentine?"
