I wanted to write something with Final Fantasy's Lightning character. I know I overuse her in my stories. I just can't help it. I love her character so very much. She's a strong kick ass female. So screw what people think if I want to overuse her I can.

Chapter 1: The Stranger

*Clary's point of view.*

I stood by the window watching everything from a distance. Isabella just walked in with her case of weapons. Jace was pacing back and forth while Alec tied up the girl. Jace nor Alec glanced at her. They thought she could be dangerous since they couldn't identify what she was. Jace also had some weird theory about dangerous looks. I think he might have been insane.

The girl looked between Alec's age and Jace's age. She was very tall. She was taller than Isabella when she wore her tallest shoes. She was however in between the boy's height. She was extremely slender, but she was athletic. Her hair was long and pink. It looked natural and not dyed, so that led to thought of her being fey.

Max suddenly poked his head through the door. He looked around smiling. "Torturing anyone yet? Should I go contact one of our parents or should I just lock myself in my room and ignore the loud screams." Max said softly. From the corner of my eye I saw the girl raise move her head to the side slowly. "Don't worry, I won't scream kid." She said softly. Everyone in the room jumped at the sound of her voice. Alec pulled the ropes tighter around her ankles. It hurt to watch what was happening.

"Max, do us a favor and go call Magnus. Tell him Alec needs his help identifying a creature." Jace commanded as he walked over to Isabella. Alec rolled his eyes as he stood slowly dusting his pants off. I happened to notice the worried glance he gave her before he turned to look at me. "I have a feeling that we are going to need the medical kit. I also don't think you should be here to watch this. Wait with Max. Maybe you could make him something or hang out with him. Just keep him away though." He said. I nodded without arguing. I didn't want to be there to watch this.

*Jace's point of view.*

Alec basically told Clary to leave. I didn't think that was wise. She should have stayed to watch. She needed to be strong. She needed to watch this. It was the proper interrogation for us Shadowhunters. "Alec that was not smart. She should have stayed. She needs to see this or she'll never be ready. She needs to be strong. A weak hunter gets killed. You know that." I said as I opened Isabella's portable weapon bag. I dumped it on the table sorting through effective ways to get information out of an unidentifiable person.

I picked up the brass knuckles smiling. I slid them on and then grabbed a knife just in case she didn't cooperate. I moved quickly walking over to her. Alec stepped away looking down at his feet. Why was he so glum all of a sudden?

"Don't look sad Alec. This is our job. We can't have compassion for them." I said angrily. I raised my hand before he could give me an excuse. I was already standing in front of her. I couldn't tell if she was out or awake, but I had something that would make sure she was awake. I slammed my fist into her face not wincing at the sound of metal hitting flesh. "Tell me what you are!" I hissed through my teeth as I hit her again. She didn't even make a sound as I hit her.

When I chose to stop I watched her struggle to lift her head as she did though she spit blood at me. "Go to hell asshole." She said coldly. The blood hit my face and I immediately went off and attacked her. I punched her repeatedly unstopping. It wasn't until Alec pulled me off her that I realized Clary and Magnus were in the room staring at me. "Is that what you call a hit? I bet that kid could hit harder." She said.

"Jace, don't think about retaliating. Clary, please leave the medical kit on the desk and then go contact my mother. Inform her that we have captured an unidentifiable creature and that we are working to figure out what she is. Move quickly pleas." Isabella said as she moved to yank the girls chair up from the floor.

"Does anyone mind telling me what's going on?" Magnus asked from a distance. Alec tightened his grip on me pulling me far away from the now bloody covered girl. "We found her fighting a demon. We didn't know what started it, but when the fight was finished we questioned her and she did not respond to us." Alec said softly.

A soft laughter began to echo through the room. "You did not ask me anything. Golden moron tackled me off the roof. Thank goodness it wasn't a bad drop or I would have broken something. By the way he's a jackass. Can I have a round of punching him?" She asked softly. Her eyes were swollen shut already. I am glad she's can't open her eyes. Then we won't be manipulated by her.

"Well what are you then?" Isabella and Magnus asked at the same time. She didn't answer immediately and that pissed me off. I pulled against Alec's hold, but that was broken almost as quickly as it happened. I charged at her, but was suddenly knocked to the ground by something small. I looked to see who it was and felt myself gasp.

The girl with the pink hair was straddling me and had a knife to my throat. "That was not very smart of you golden moron." She said softly. I moved to knock her off. It worked at first, but then she kicked me off sending my body crashing into the wall. I sank to the floor feeling something broken. She was crouching down in front of me. Her eyes still swollen shut. I couldn't understand how she could see a thing. "I don't like being smacked around. It doesn't hurt, but it does get extremely annoying when I'm trying to sleep." She murmured softly.

She grabbed me by the collar and lifted me up off the ground so I was standing. "Your ribs were broken when I kicked you." She said as she moved towards the chair sitting back down. "You all should really read your history books." She said softly. Magnus raised an eyebrow and she quickly moved her head to face him. "Did Hodge ever teach you anything about history. Did you pay attention at all during his lessons? I am surprised my own children have never heard of the Guardians." Mayrse said coldly as she entered the room.

I hope you like the first chapter. Please Comment and tell me what you think.
