I do not own any characters from any of the 'The Mortal Instruments' series. All the 'The Mortal Instruments' characters in this story belong to Cassandra Clare. The rest are mine. I will not repeat this again. Thank you and enjoy the story. x


Introduction

Jace was in one of the clubs in New York, with Isabelle and Alec, hunting for demons like usual. Jace had killed many demons today. He felt proud at himself. It was almost 12:00 am. It was time to go back to the Institute. They walked out of the club, and started walking on their way. The crowds of people had decreased as they reached a secluded alley for a shortcut to the Institute. Everything was fine until Alec saw a glimpse of a girl's light hair in the corner. The strange thing was that the girl had seen them. He had seen her eyes that looked strangely bright even in the darkness of the night. It was a demon. Or at least that was what Alec thought.

"There's a demon behind that corner" Alec whispered just loud enough for Isabelle and Jace to hear who were near him.

Isabelle nodded in understanding and Jace soundlessly took out his sword. Alec then slowly walked there and when he reached there, he instantly grabbed the girl. Isabelle helped Alec hold her in place as she started panicking.

"Who are you? What do you want?" she said, breathing heavily.

It would have sounded 100% sincere if only they were mundanes. They had encountered many innocent-looking demons before. They were shadowhunters.

"Nice try" said Jace, teasing his sword. "But we have dealt with hundreds like you before." and then he instantly stabbed her in the stomach.

She let out a piercing scream but did not vanish like any other demon. Jace and his two other shadowhunter siblings watched in confusion and shock as the blood that just came from where Jace stabbed her vanished and her face expression was void of any pain like nothing ever happened. She giggled. She was actually giggling.
