A/N: HI! Thanks for reading this, in the first place. This is my second TMI fanfic and I intend it to be much better than the other one. This is dedicated to my bestest friend Ariel for giving me the idea for this in the first place. Ariel, I know you're reading this so I just want to say thanks! I luv you for telling me about this website! :)
Chapter 1: Introductions
Three lithe figures, cloaked in darkness, lurk their way down the alleys of New York City. Far away, it looks like the teenagers are just walkers, nothing more. But closely, you will see them with weapons. Blades, maces, whips, and more. Why? You'll see.
The three teens make their way down another alley. If they paid more attention behind them, they would see the flash of red hair, a girl carrying art supplies. She hides behind a pillar, watching them. Watching them stalk forward and nudge, something.
She sees them raise their weapons and beat an innocent teenager, hiding behind a pile of trash. They drag him out, beat him. Beat him again, and again, until, nothing. The teenager on the ground stops moving, and the girl can tell he is dead, dead with blood on him.
But his blood is strange. What is that color? It is black blood, not red blood. The girl blames it on the darkness of the alley. She turns and leaves in disgust, and horror.
But before she leaves, she sees a quick glance of icy blue eyes.
And the icy blue eyes see her. They meet her green irises. But the girl is gone, faster than the wind. And she is running, running to home, through the door into her room, and into bed.
The ice blue eyes slide their way back to the other two. And their owner speaks.
"Jace, Alec, did you see that?" The speaker is another girl. This time with black hair, falling down to her waist. She holds a golden whip, which she now curls around her wrist.
"See what, Izzy?" A boy this time, replies. He replies in a curt voice, annoyance pushing in. You can tell he is arrogant, his posture, his eyes. His hair is golden, his eyes golden as well. A piece of the sun, one might say. He carries many blades, which he has now put away, concealed.
"Jace! You don't have to be so harsh. Isabelle's probably hallucinating right now. After all, she did get some ichor on her." The other boy, obviously Alec, stares pointedly at the one called Jace. He moves to the girl, a stick-like object in his hand.
The girl, Isabelle, glares at Jace. Then, she looks down to see Alec make the familiar iratze bloom up on her skin.
"So what did you see, Izzy?" Alec stares at her after stepping away from finishing his job.
"Right. Um, I saw a girl. I don't know why she's so special. But, she could see us. I could tell. But, she was a mundie. That I could tell, too." Isabelle shakes her head in disgust of thinking about the girl again.
"A mundie? You certain? Hm, and she could see us." Alec stares at Isabelle for confirmation, which she gives with a furious shake of her head.
"Interesting." A whisper is all that comes out of Jace's mouth.
A few minutes later, the figures are stalking away again. The only proof of their arrival and departure being the carcass of the poor boy they beat. But if you waited, just waited a bit longer, you would've seen the impossible happen.
The boy… disappeared.
A/N: So how was it? You can tell me by pressing that little blue button down there. Please? I'd update faster if you did. And I'd be so happy! :)
