Chapter 1. Eyes of Flame

Laura's POV

I was walking down the main road looking around at the old tall trees with their bark peeling off. I wasn't thinking about much, I often zoned out of my surroundings; and it annoys the hell out of Kay.

Whenever I do this I remembered that ivory haired boy standing over the dead body of my brother. That's why I hate shadowhunters so much. Except for Kay, Kay's different.

As I turned down her street I noticed a couple of Goth looking teenagers. I ever so slightly turned my head towards them, the golden haired one looked back. Shadowhunters! What where they doing here!?

Jace's POV

A girl with light brown hair walked down the street that Alec, Izzy and I walking down. She was walking in the same direction as us, I didn't know why but I was getting a funny feeling about her. She couldn't have been older than 14. As she turned her head slightly towards us I noticed her vibrant, light purple eyes.

'Guys.' I whispered to Alec and Isabelle.

'Do you notice anything weird about that girl?'

'No,' they both said in together.

The girl had started to walk faster.

'Well I do so I'm going to follow her'

I knew Izzy and Alec were going to follow me because, even though they hated to admit it, I had slightly better senses than them.

'Stalker much,' Isabelle scoffed as they followed after me

Laura's POV

The shadowhunters started to follow after me, so I decided to take the risk and make myself invisible. Poof! I vanished into thin air and turned around to watch them. I had gotten into this situation before but not so close to my house. This was the funny bit where they searched around feeling the air looking for me. But I didn't have time for this I had to get home.

'Goddammit! She's a warlock!' The one with the golden hair said in frustration.

I was surprised not many of them got the idea so quickly.

'You sure Jace? That young?' The blue-eyed one replied.

'Maybe it was a demon?'

This got me so mad I really couldn't contain myself anymore. I made myself visible again and right when they looked at me I shot crimson purple flames out of my hands straight at them.

They fell back in shock. But it gave me all the time I needed. I raced down the street sharply turning into my driveway I opened the door behind me and slammed it shut. They couldn't get in I had heavily warded the house. Only Kay and I could.
