AN: I hope you like this story. It is a zombie story and will contain some romance as side plots. This is my first Mortal Instruments fan fiction so I hope you like it. This first chapter (the prologue) will be in third person but all the other chapters will be in first person.

Disclaimer: I do not own TMI or any references which may be used in the story.

Summary

When the phantoms came to the earth they destroyed almost everyone and everything in their path. However some survived and split into their own survival groups. They called themselves the 'Phantom Seekers' and were determined to save their world. Jace and Clary were the leaders of these groups and the only thing they hated more than each other were the phantoms themselves. So what happens when they are forced to combine forces to find a cure and stop what would be the extinction of the human race? Will they still hate each other at the start of their new lives or would other feelings have evolved amidst all the madness?


PHANTOM SEEKERS

PROLOGUE

They called it the end; the end of all life, the end of civilisation, the end of the world, the day when the phantoms came out to play. But they could not have been more wrong, it was also the day when two people came into their own and started to fight back. They called themselves the 'Phantom Seekers' and could not have been more different. One was a feisty redhead who sought revenge on what they had done to her world and the other a blonde haired man who just wanted his freedom as a teenager back. However there was one thing they had in common; their hatred for the phantoms.

The girl, Clary, had heard of the boy and immediately started to dislike him. He had started his own group of survivors who just had to copy and try to beat hers in everything; whether it was raiding or just finding a place to stay.

Jace had also heard of Clary and like her, immediately started to dislike her. He hated that her group was mostly always better than his at everything they did. It was why he made it his mission; apart from cure the phantoms, to beat her group whenever he could.

The cure would be impossible to discover on their own, and Jace and Clary both knew it was the key to their continued existence. Food was running short and the phantoms kept discovering their hideouts only days after they found it. The only option was the one they dreaded the most, to team up and create a new army; one which would be impossible to destroy, one which would ensure the survival of the human race.

It may have been the end but some consider it the beginning; the beginning of a new life, a brand new chance for everyone, even those who may have done wrong in the past.


AN: I hope you liked the prologue. I promise that the other chapters will be longer than this one but this was an introduction so there wasn't really much that I could write. Did you love it? Hate it? Have any questions? Please review; it helps me know where I need to improve and if this story is any good. I will also try to respond to every review that I can.
