Alec Lightwood, the "prince" of Majestic Records, was tapping his fingers on his green desk as he waited for his sister, Isabelle or

Izzy, to come pick him up. "It's late, you know. Maybe you should walk home or take the subway," a voice spoke, startling Alec. "Camille, it's way too late," Alec sighed but packed up anyway.

"What? Afraid ghosts are going to get you?"

"There's no such thing as ghosts"

"Maybe, but vampires are real"

"You have such a good imagination, Camille"

Camille rolled his eyes and walked away ready to leave work. Alec just sighed and started to walk home.

Alec's POV

The night was too quiet, almost too quiet. I froze when I heard rustling behind me and turned quickly to find nothing. Okay Alec, no time to freak yourself out, I thought to myself. "Hi!" A voice yelled out of nowhere, making me jump. "Who are you?" I asked, facing a very sparkly and handsome man. The man laughed and I was so in love.

"Magnus Bane, king of the existences"

"The existences? Is that a band or something?"

"You'll find out soon enough, Alexander"

"How do you know my name?"

Magnus remained quiet: then everything went black.
