Born form the Shadows
Chapter One: The signs of Death
Jace,
The smell of death is overpowering to say the least; I put my hand over my noise so I don't pass out form the sheer smell, in that small alley it felt like something form one of Simons comic books, Batman was it? "How long as it been since he got killed?" asks Alec, I look at him form over my shoulder. He carries a Bow and 60 arrows our so, in full gear unlike me. I got the call when I was getting a present for Clary, it's are one year anniversary and I wanted it to be special so walking around malls I've been wearing black jeans, a gray long sleeved shirt and my waist-coat with the hood . I'm still wearing that but I now have 2 knifes and a sherph blade, "Maybe a day ago but, with half of him missing you can't tell." The body was a men, but he was also a Vampire (The fangs give it away.) his body was sliced in half length wise; he is 100% dead for the blood has already crusted over. "Were do you think the other part of him is?" Alec asks, I look around the alley. Nothing but rats and trash, I'm starting to wonder if this was just a random kill, maybe an angry werewolf. But then I see the blade in the shadows. "Alec! Duck!" he dose and misses the blade by mere inches, I let lose both of my knives in the direction of the attacker. I hear the blades clank on the wall and see a hooded shadow of a man attack me. I slam into the concrete with such force my vision blurs. The man with one foot is on top of me looking down at me though a mask I make out the faint light blue his eyes, he pulls a knife form his belt but, an arrow nocks it out of his hand. Alec has save my life once again, the man turns around and looks at Alec and flings a small knife at him, Alec get hit in the shoulder and goes down for the count. He turns back to me and gives me one last look and runs out of the alley.
I run after him with all my speed, I zip past people though down town New York and jump over anything under 6 feet tall. I fallow him to the docks he stands near the edge of the dock. He stops and looks out at the sea. "Norway to go pal" I say as I draw my blade he looks at me and puts up his hands, I walk closer to him but then he does a back flip into the sea, I rush after him see where he is about to swim to. But he's vanished
Alec finds me standing at the docks looking out at the sea. "What happed, who was he? And are you okay?" I turn to him and sigh "One he got away, two I'm fine, and three I think he was an Assassin." Alec looks at my with surprise and says "An Assassin? Of what kind? Vampire? Werewolf? Fray?" I look at him with a solid stare
"Shadowhunter" I say
