Hi guys, this is my very first Fanfiction for The Mortal Instruments. I haven't read past City of Fallen Angels, so I'm just going off of what I know now. So, facts in this that don't seem right to you- I have made up to make the story my own. I'm worried that no one will like it, but so far I find it pretty good, I have let my friend proof read it and she said it was good.

As in the prologue, nothing really happened 86 years ago, it's just a number that I chose that wasn't too recent, but it wasn't too far away.

Anyway I hope you enjoy it.

~86 Years Ago~

As she sat there, Adeline watched many people pass her, fellow Shadowhunters, covered head to toe in runes, faeries, giggling as they're wings flutter so quick that they are a blur. Downworlders, werewolves and pasty vampires. But someone, someone in particular caught her eye. He was wearing a long black coat, hair done back, wearing combat boots. Who is that? She thought to herself. He turned around, cat eyes shining in the moonlight. The High Warlock of Brooklyn strode past, watching her as he walked past her. Adeline had wondered if he noticed her irregular heartbeat.

She looked over to where he had stopped, and noticed him studying her. Adeline's face had turned to a blush pink, which made him smile. She stood up and brushed herself off. He studied her body, she was petite, long blond hair that flowed down in nice waves and bright green eyes. Her smile was bright, and most people described it as perfect. She was a very stunning young lady. With her Shadowhunter gear on, it made her look tough, as well as older. She was only seventeen.

Magnus approached her, smirking to a stop. "I noticed you checking me out." He paused, still smirking. His cat-like eyes set on hers. "Something you like?"

Rolling her eyes, Adeline replied, "I was checking you out? You have that backwards. I looked over to you basically undressing me with your eyes!"

He stifled a laugh, she just looked at him, almost impatiently. "Oh I'm sorry, you're seeing things."

"Look I don't have the time for this, ok? I have to go find my family. Nice to meet you though." She started for the door and Magnus caught her arm.

"It's not safe to go alone, I should go with you. Just to be safe-"

"No, I'll be fine. I have my weapons." She jerked her arm away from his grasp, "Thank you anyway." And she walked out the main entrance, passing a huge fountain with a sculpted angel praying in the middle.

Stopping at a pathway that went two ways, she chose the left path out of instinct. She felt someone watching her so she picked up her pace, occasionally looking behind her. She looked ahead of her and noticed something in the bushes, taking slow and steady steps. Adeline squinted her eyes and came to a stop, as she saw a man coming out from behind the bushes.

"I thought I told you to stay back there! H-how did you get here so damn fast?!"

He never said a word, just took her by the shoulders and kissed her. She closed her eyes as his hands found the back of her neck. Then he closed his hands forcefully around her neck. Her eyes shot open wide and she pulled away from the kiss, gasping for air. He tightened the grip on her neck. She let out a yelp, as he just smirked. She was trying to fight him but failed, as she blacked out falling to her knees. The figure that looked to be Magnus, let go of her and returned to his original form, and disappeared into the darkness. Leaving Adeline lying there, dead.

Well I hope you enjoyed it enough to be interested in following my story!
