Chapter 1
Walking through the front door . the smell hits me the smell that I know all too well. The smell of death lingering in the air.
"mum, dad, shade" i call into the darkness. But I knew I would get no reply. And I was right silence the type of silence that strangles someone. Running down the empty halls. Cheeking every room praying that it was a dream. I enter the kitchen and a strangle cry escapes my mouth. My mother and farther lay in pools of blood. Their lifeless eye staring up.
"MUMMY,DADDY. WAKE UP YOU HAVE TO WAKE UP. PLEASE" desperation clear in my voice. Then it hit me my brother and he wasn't here. I begged he was ok. But right now i could not move I could not think everything was a blur. I berried my face into my farther and mothers motionless farther still begging him to wake up.
I don't know how long I sat there. But sooner or later the door opened and i felt strong arms rap around me I let go of my father and mother and threw myself into my brothers embrace.
"shh, raven its ok you're ok now" his voice whispered but we both knew it was a lie we both sat there crying for god knows how long before. We called the council and told them what happened. They were there with in a hour. I tried so hard not to cry as they told us that marax demons had attract and had killed our parents. I wanted to scream at them that are parents had been some of the best shadow hunters. I wanted to yell and scream that it was a mistake and that this was some sort of sick joke. But I knew it wouldn't help. Then I picked up on what they were saying
"you'll leave tomorrow for the Manhattan institute. I think you should go gather your belongings and I'll meet you here at 12 tomorrow. After the ceremony. Understood" he said in the sort of voice that said don't mess with me.
"WHAT" I said before I could stop myself " you expect that we just pick up and leave the only place we have ever called home" I said through gritted teeth.
"why what do you recommend miss Nightwine" he said In a smug little tone. God I want to punch this guy so bad right now.
"oh I don't know. Let us stay in idris" I said sarcastically most people would not use sarcasm after finding there parents dead on the kitchen. But that's what I do put up a shell.
"Raven that's enough, thank you council will be ready tomorrow "my brother said in a no nonsense tone. But this time I listened and learned to shut my mouth.
After they left I ran up stairs to my room, and slammed my door. I sat down and cryed. I didn't want to leave idris, I didn't want to start again, I didn't want to make new friends, I didn't want my parents to die. But I guess we don't always get what we want.
A knock on my door brought me back to reality.
"can I come in" my brother said just loud enough for me to pick up with my shadow hunter hearing.
"leave me alone shaden" I only ever used his full name when I was serious. He came in any way I kinda knew he would. He sat down next to me wrapped me in his arms and kissed the top of my head.
"What are we gonna do shade" I whispered
"I don't know rave , I don't know" he whispered back
