The Unknown Heir
Prologue
Black hair flashed across Fin's vision, and just as he was about to stick what he thought was the beast, he suddenly realized it was Eadan, and he quickly snatched away his seraph blade. The black he thought he had seen, suddenly was in front of them and bared its bloodied teeth. The Rued demon was strong, and they hadn't planned on encountering one. But they had no choice but to fight it if they were hoping to find the person responsible for the Shadowhunter killings that had happened last week.
"Fin, watch it!" yelled Max, and he quickly stepped in front of Eadan and threw a glowing seraph blade at the demon. Fin thought angrily about his almost stabbing Eadan, and decided to step it up.
He looked around for the man they had been following and saw him 100 feet away, still running away. Fin looked back to Max an Eadan decided they would be able to hand the Rued.
"I'm going about him!" Fin shouted and started sprinting quickly after the shadow ahead.
"No! Fin, don't! You don't know what it is!" Eadan said, and just as Fin passed them, he saw the demon jump at her, and her knife slash at his shoulder. The demon snarled and its read eyes shined darkly.
No, she is just pissing it off more…Fin thought, but kept running. Max would take care of her.
Fin looked back to the man running away from them and saw he had stopped, clearly from exhaustion, and so Fin pushed himself harder and he gained on him. He pulled out another of his seraph blade and chanted, Neratif, and threw it at the man. He watched as the blade flew bright blue through the air, and saw at it hit the man, and he dropped to the ground, and heard a faint groan. Fin kept running toward the man before he could possibly get back up and keep running, and took out his sword in case the man meant a fight—not that he would be able to….
Fin slowed as he noticed the man writhing on the ground in pain, and saw that the seraph blade had been lodged into his right shoulder. The man was wearing normal mundane clothing, but his hair was blue and curly, and his eyes brown. Fin's stomach twisted at the thought of his possibly being a mundane, but then he remembered the way the man had jumped off the Institute, and he thought he must be something else. Possibly a mix of things, vampire, Shadowhunter, maybe even faerie.
"Who are you?" Fin asked, and pointed the sword at the man's face, and he cowered away from it, trying not to lie on his blade-stuck shoulder.
"The Faerie Courts are searching," said the man. His voice was hoarse and Fin could tell he was dieing.
Fin's eyebrows furrowed at the man's statement. "Searching for what? What is your name?" Fin demanded.
"They… won't stop, no until it… is… found," the man whispered, and his body suddenly went limp, and the man was dead.
Fin stood over his body is astonishment. He was so shocked he hardly heard the voices yelling his names as he had watched the man die.
"Fin! FIN! The Rued! Fin the demon! Watch out!" He finally heard, and turned around in time to watch the demon galloping toward him, eyes intent on his head. His mind was whirling as he realized what was about to happen. He was about to get killed by a Rued demon, and all he could do was take out his stele. He watched as the demon ran towards him, and began to draw.
"Fin! Your blades! Get out a blade!" Max screamed, but Fin continued to draw the rune on his hand, and felt the burn as it seared the design into his skin.
Just as he was about to finished, he turned back toward the man, and felt the Rued demon claw at his back, and suddenly he was gone.
