Great I thought, I was sitting on a bench in the middle of central park,… and I was surrounded literally they decided to make a circle around me, a very large circle ok well it was more like an oval, but then again demons weren't the smartest of creatures so I wasn't surprised.

"Unless your going to actually do something besides stand there" I said "I'm leaving"

"IIII don't think sssooooo" the demon hissed, the leader from the looks of it.

"Well then stop wasting my time and tell me what you want" I sighed this was getting boring.

At this point I didn't even care any more so I didn't listen to its next words, instead I stood up and did a back flip in the air taking the two right behind by surprise. I quickly turned around to face the demons, pulling a seraph blade from my belt and calling its name.

"Sanvi" I yelled.

I finished the two in front of me off just as one was coming up on my left rear, I back flipped through the air over top it with grace that would leave the most skilled ballerina heartbroken, and through the blade embedding it in the demons heart. To easy I thought as I watched fold in on its self, a blade flew through the air killing the demon that was behind me.

"You really should pay better attention to your surroundings" I heard someone say.

I knew it was another shadow hunter, not only could I tell from the blade now laying on the ground, but there was cocky tone to the voice, that only a shadow hunter could have.

I chuckled darkly "I knew he was there" my bell voice proclaimed.

Oh I definitely knew he was there, I was very good at what I did, better than those twice my age, and it was the blood that flowed through my veins that made me so. I was after all a Valentine, though my name was now tainted thanks to that Morgenstern idiot, before him that name held the power of the great Valentine clan, a clan of very skilled shadow hunters, and a power that brought the clave willingly to there knees, to bow at the feet of Illyiana Valentine the shadow hunter queen.

I mental shook myself, now was not the time I turned to see the owner of the voice, though it was dark I could still see him, another benefit of my blood, he was taller than I was, which wasn't saying much, and he had golden blond hair the same shade as mine, and golden eyes, I'd admit at least he had his looks going for him there was a subtle golden shimmer to his skin that i knew mimicked my own, i also knew there was a star-shaped rune on his collar bone the rune of communication, the same one that was on the back of my neck, though not one permitted by the clave, he probably thought it was a scar.

"Jace behind you" a small red head chimed she was pretty my height and also like me petite with fiery red hair and emerald green eyes.

The boy Jace feigned to right as the demon came charging at him, I pulled out another dagger to kill the demon, but a whip curled around its neck as an arrow struck it through the back. Instantly it began to disappear. The owner of the whip was a tall girl with long black hair and blue eyes and the boy who shot the arrow had the same color hair and eyes, the lightwood children I recognized them instantly. Isabelle and Alec, which made the red head Clary Morgenstern and the boy currently Jace no last name I chuckled if only he knew.

" How ma"-"three there's three left" I said cutting her off

I Sensed more than heard one come up behind me and I quickly spun and ended up beheading it, it sprayed black blood and ichor all over before slowly disappearing. Lovely I thought now my curls were tinged black and i was covered in ichor.

"Now there's two" I said curtly emphasizing the anger from my blood drenched body in my tone.

"And there behind you"

I watched as they finished off the last two, spraying me with more blood they were good but they could definitely improve.

"Lovely" I sighed officially board and turned to walk away.

"Wait" Clary yelled I turned slightly and raised an eyebrow.

"Sorry" Isabelle said, I rolled my eyes

"We haven't officially met, my name is Clary what's yours" she chirped happily, she reminded me of a bird which was kind of ironic since I was named after one.

"Raven" I sighed

"Well Raven would you like to come to the institute for the night to rest" I really didn't want to but I did need a shower badly.

"Sure" I said

"That's great" she said smiling "it's this way"

She was nice I thought perhaps to nice to be a shadow hunter, but her gear and marks said other wise, so reluctantly I followed her. I didn't realize I was staring until Jace smirked, I new that smile and also new things were about to get real complicated so for the hell of it I flashed a blinding smirk of my own that was a mirror image of his, of Jace's , my tiwn brother's.

Ok so this is my very first fanfic ever hope it isn't awful

so tell me if i need improvements
