Disclaimer: The shadowhunter world belongs to Cassandra Clare, but the characters in this story belong to me.

Hope you enjoy! This was written on an ipod while I was on vacation, so yeah. xD


Bam! The knife sliced through the air hitting it's target. Another followed and another till a voice interrupted. "Take it easy there, sweet cakes."

The dark haired one threw another as it landed within the red circle. She then turned to her comrade, "Stop calling me sweet cakes already." She said as she walked over to the table passing the blonde one.

The blonde one let out a chuckle, "Whatever you say, sweet cakes." A grin appeared as he stared at the girl trying to decide what weapon she would use next to throw.

The girl rolled her eyes, "Don't make me use you as a target instead, Alex." Alex was short for Alexander, which he refused to be called. It was too long in his opinion.

"I wouldn't mind. I trust you." He replied rather confidently as he surprisingly grabbed her by the arm.

The girl arched an eyebrow as she looked up at him a bit confused. Before she could speak, he did, "Is this from earlier Cass?" Cass was short for Cassandra, and what most people called her. The only time Alex said anything close to her name was when he wasn't joking with her. "Why didn't you say anything?" A look of concern crossed his features.

Alex had been staring downward at a rather deep cut near Cassandra's elbow. She followed his gaze, "What? It's nothing? I'll be fine. It already started healing."

Without a word Alex pulled out his stele as he began drawing an iratze. "It'll get infected if you leave it like this. You should know better." Cassandra went along with it as she always did.

As focus as Alex was on drawing the rune, Cassandra couldn't help but notice how much shorter she was compared to him. She was probably at his nose. Her eyes lingered to his hair, noticing how it curled at the ends.

"Do you like what you see?" His voice interrupted her as their eyes made contact. "I'm done." he said continuing to stare down at her. Cassandra was in some sort of trance, staring back. She had never fully noticed how blue his eyes were, like the color of the ocean. One of his hands pushed a strand of loose hair behind her ear. "You know..." Alex began saying as the doors busted open.

"Cass! Cass!" Immediately the two took a step away from each other as a girl with long brown curly hair came running towards Cassandra. "So this is where you've been! I've been looking all over for you!"

"What is it Kat?" Cassandra asked as she walked over to her parabatai.

"Come with me now!" Katherine ordered as she dragged Cassandra off. Alex just watched as a dark haired guy came walking into the room, passing by the two girls who had seemed to ignore him.

"What was that about?"

Alex shrugged, "Shouldn't you know Ian, being Katherine's brother and all?"

"Just because I'm her brother doesn't mean I know what is going on in her life."

"Mhm." Alex mumbled as he walked to the target board and began pulling the knives off. The image of long dark locks in a ponytail flowing as a knife hit the board flashed before his eyes. He shook his head continuing to take the knives out. "You know, sometimes I think she leaves them here purposely for me to put away." He commented.

Ian laughed in the background, "You're only figuring that out now?" Alex didn't reply, he never liked it when he was last to figure out something. "Hey, want to hit Chow's tonight?" Ian asked out of the blue.

Alex turned to face Ian, holding the knives in his hand and placing them away in a drawer. "Chow's? I guess." Looks like it would be guy's night out tonight.


I know the first chapter doesn't say much. Second will say more...feedback?
