Chapter 1:
Alice was sleeping in her room at Jack's and his brothers' house when she heard a scream. She quickly got up and rushed to the living room. There she saw that a boy with hair as white as a goose's feather and eyes as black as obsidian had come through some kind of brightly lit hole in the air. He was dragging a small girl with bright fiery red hair by the back of her jacket.
Alice leaned in to Jack who was standing beside her and whispered, "Who are they?"
Jack shook his head, "I don't know."
The girl had regained her footing. She stomped on the boy's foot and bit his arm. The boy shoved her back. She stumbled and fell to the ground. The boy went to pick her up but she punched him in the face. She scrambled to her feet and ran. The boy grabbed her by her hair and flung her into the wall. Instead of hitting the wall though the girl ran up it and did a back flip, landing behind the boy. She drew something cylindrical from a belt at her waist. The girl shouted a name. It sounded like Cassiel. Alice wondered if that was the name of the boy. All of a sudden the object in the girls hand blazed up and a blade about two feet long shot out.
The girl swung the weapon at the boy, but he ducked out of the way. He pulled something out of a sheath on his back. Alice saw that it was a sword. The boy moved so quickly that Alice was hardly able to track his movement. She wondered if maybe he was a vampire. The girl swung her weapon at the boy again and this time instead of ducking out of the way he blocked it with his sword.
It was at that moment that out of the glowing hole in the air that five other figures came through. All Alice could see of them was that one was tall with golden blonde hair. And two of them had black hair. One of the black haired people was a girl. She was tall and slender and had a whip in her hand. Next to the girl was a boy with brown hair. Finally there was a tall very sparkly man.
The blonde boy rushed at the two fighting figures. He drew a weapon like the girl had from a belt at his waist. He attacked the other boy. The white blonde boy struck out at the new boy and knocked him backwards. He turned back to the girl and knocked the weapon from her hand. He grabbed her around the waist and brought his sword up to her throat.
"Attack me again, Angel Boy, and I will slice her throat," the white blonde boy said to the golden blonde.
"Let her go, Sebastian," Goldie commanded.
The white one grinned, "No. I don't think so."
The others that had come through whatever that thing was – it was gone now – came to stand beside the golden boy.
"Clary," began the brown haired boy.
Sebastian glared at the boy. "Don't speak to my sister, Vampire," Sebastian growled.
The red haired girl stood stalk still barely breathing, trying to keep the sword at her throat from breaking the skin.
Sebastian spoke to the group. "You are going to stay right here while Clarissa and I leave. You will not follow us or attempt to find us. If you do then I will kill you all and turn her into one of my endarkened."
With that Sebastian started making his way to the front door. There he grabbed the keys to the Lamborghini and slipped into the garage and out of sight.
