Brendan woke up suddenly in a cold sweat. He sighed to himself and got out of bed and walked into the bathroom. Every night for seven years he would have the same nightmare.
He was standing amongst the carnage of the Oslo institute, his father sent him to go for a jog, he did not expect that would be the last time he would ever see him. When he entered the institute there was a flash of light and a pair of pitch black settled upon him, the person smiled an evil smile before disappearing. There was nothing around him but dust, rubble and the bodies. There were bodies everywhere. He struggled to hold back his tears as he entered his room and sat down on his bed and just cried. He stopped the second that the shadowhunters sent from Idris found him and brought him back to Alicante with nothing but one small backpack and the family weapons. A bow made of ash wood with a set of adamas tipped arrows, an electrum hunting dagger and the Archlight family sword.
It wasn't long after that when the institutes were evacuated, soon after Sebastian Morgensterns endarkened ones attacked Alicante and were defeated. He was moved to the Dublin institute and lived with the Nightwell family. The silent brothers have tried to help him but he could never get the image of the destruction out of his head.
It was light out so he quickly showered and threw on a pair of sweatpants and a dark tank top on before heading to the training room. He spent his morning practicing his archery until Marcus Nightwell walked in followed by Gia and some girl.
"Brendan" Marcus said watching as he loaded another arrow before shooting and breaking the rope that held a punching bag. Brendan smiled then turned to face Marcus. "Brendan, This is Jenna Skymarch, she will be living with us for now on.'
Brendan looked the girl up and down before grinning then extending his hand "Brendan Archlight" he said simply The girl extended shook some of her light brown hair from her eyes before shaking his hand.
"Jenna Skymarch" She responded returning his smile. they looked at each other for a while, sizing each other up. Brendans' piercing blue eyes stared into her dark blue ones.
Gia looked at the two teens with dread in her eyes. She could sense the fierce competition that would happen between the two. Gia was always competing with Brendan but they respected each other and their strengths and weaknesses none the less.
Marcus walked out of the room leaving the three fourteen year olds alone. Jenna was nervous about meeting the two other kids at first but Gia seemed really nice, Brendan on the other hand no matter how hard she tried she could not read this kid. He has a cocky smile but in his eyes Jenna could see nothing but sadness and longing. It was at that moment when she decided, she wanted to learn more about this kid.
