Run! Just keep running. Faster Magnus Faster! They were chasing him again. Stupid people. Why can't they just leave me alone? He wasn't even a witch. Witches are females aren't they? He was a warlock. Wasn't he?

"You can't run forever you little demon child! You deserve the same punishment as all other witches before you!" screamed one of the men in the large mob. Jeez can't I get a break, Magnus thought. I deal with enough at home.

He woke up. It was just another dream. He was still safe. Of course he was safe his sister promised to protect him. If only he knew the dark secret about her as well.

It was just starting to get light outside. Magnus was thankful for that. He hated the dark. Darkness holds to many secrets.

Nobody was awake in the house yet. He got his little, dirty jacket on and went outside. He was going to walk to the meadow and pick wildflowers for Meg. That should brighten her day, maybe even his.

While he was walking he kept hearing the sound of snapping branches. Oh why didn't I wait till it was totally light outside, he thought. He turned to look behind him but there was nothing there. He turned to start walking again but stopped suddenly. In front of him was a girl.

From where he was standing she looked to bed the same age as him, maybe even a little bit older. She was also very pretty. She had long blonde hair. The only thing disturbing about her was the blood dripping from her mouth. He slowly started walking towards her.

"Who are you?" he asked. "My name is Camille, and you are?" He looked skeptically at her. "Magnus, Magnus Bane." She laughed. For some reason he loved that laugh. It was almost as care free as Megs.

"Well Magnus Bane, what are you doing walking all by yourself during hunting hours?" she asked. Hunting hours? What was this girl talking about? Was she one of those creatures Meg told stories about? Vampires were what she called them.

"Are you a vampire?" he asked. She gave him a wry smile. "Why yes I am." For some odd reason he was greatly frightened. Was she going to try to eat him? He did not want to be eaten. He would never see Meg again then. That thought greatly depressed Magnus.

Camille could read the expression on his face. "I'm not going to eat you. You're too cute for that." Cute? Who was this girl? He had just met her and she was calling him cute! How improper.

"Do you know what I am?" He was curious to know if she knew about warlocks. "Yes. You're one of Lilith's children. A warlock." She could see the surprise on his face. She just smirked in response.

Magnus came to the conclusion after that day that he liked Camille. He never had a friend before besides Meg. He wanted Camille to be his friend, maybe even a little more than he should have.

AN okay Camille. I wanted them to meet when they were kids. Camille and Magnus are owned by Cassandre Clare. Review PLZ
