CHAPTER TWO

Do we ever get a day off ?

A large group of them stood on a nearby car their red eyes staring back at rose and their white sharp smile mocking her, that's one thing that really pisses her off. She had already made her way over to Lissa where Dimitri was standing with his stake already out; Christian was close by with Eddie.

" You should probably know that I'll enjoy watching that smile fade when I kill you "Rose said smiling and hit the button on her UV light.

…..

When Clary reached the corner she saw the girl, Rose shine a bright light in someone's eyes and run forward, when the light disappeared she could see what was really happening.

"By the angel" Izzy said "are they shadow hunters?"

"CLARY!" Jace yelled

Clary didn't look back at Jace, she pulled her seraphs blade out, whispered its name and continued running towards Rose. Rose was in front of Lissa and Christian their backs against the wall, while Eddie and Dimitri were on either side. Clary could see two vampires coming towards Rose and she could feel the pulse of her blade in her palm and she smiled. When she got to the first vampire she could already feel his presents behind her, Jace. The vampire struck out at Clary and she dodged just missing her head and she slashed the vampire's leg, red eyes showed pain and he went to the floor they make it so easy Clary thought as she drove her blade into the vampires chest.

"What the hell are you doing?" Clary heard a voice shout. Jace had already killed two vampires beside her, Alec and Izzy were finishing off and it seemed as though the vampires scattered and left, well besides the dead ones…which was a lot.

"We were saving your asses" Jace said looking at Rose who was breathing just as heavy as all of us were "You're welcome"

"My ass doesn't need saving" she said with anger in her eyes stepping forward "But I think yours w-"

"Rose!" Lissa was beside her "There were too many strigoi for just three of you, they help us, be thankful "

Rose looked at her, and then down at Clary's hand and Pointed at the seraph blade. "What the hell is that?"

…..

Rose could see the blade in Clary's hand, it looked like a glowing blade but not really a blade this is too creepy she thought.

"It's an angel blade, "Clary looked at Jace with wide eyes "A weapon Shadow hunter's use"

"Jace!" Alec protested

"They were fighting vampires Alec "Izzy said grabbing his arm

"They didn't call them vampires though" Simon said

"Stop talking like we're not here "Rose hissed, Lissa stepped forward and took a deep breath

"So obviously you have some connection here," Lissa said "we will explain everything, but not here, it's too dangerous "

This New York trip has become so much more interesting Rose thought, as the group of them followed behind Clary's car, Rose couldn't stop looking at Dimitri, his hair messy yet still perfect to her and his muscles showing through his jacket and how much love she has for this man, her man. He looks at her and gave her that flawless smile.

When they reach their destination it looked like a dump until she focused, It looked like a palace so beautiful.

"Pretty sure these people are rich" Eddie said smiling. Rose saw the gates open and they got out of their car, and followed the strange group inside. When they got inside Lissa felt a little sting and looked at Christian He felt it too she thought.

"So, this is the New York institute" Jace said spreading his arms to indicate the palace

"Institute?" Dimitri asked, Jace and his group were leading them to this grand Door, and when he opened the door Rose could see a fire place and books upon books it's a library Rose thought as she heard Dimitri take a breath, He loves books a little smile reached her lips.

"Please sit," Clary asked "would you like a drink of water?"

"Yes, thank you "Lissa smiled, Clary and Isabel left chatting

"So, Care to explain why you help in the strigoi attack?" Rose said giving Jace an evil stare

"As I said before, we were saving your a-"Jace was interrupted

"When we see danger, especially with down worlders" Clary said placing cups on the table as Isabel put a jug of water down "We protect and as we thought you were just mundanes that were getting attacked we helped, until we saw you were fighting back" she glanced at Rose and smiled

"What are you? Dhampir? "Eddie said

"What is a Dhampir ?" Isabel asked, she looked at Alec who was confused

"Protectors of the Moroi" Eddie said

" Moroi?" Alec asked

"Really? You don't know anything do you?" Rose said

"It's because you have never explored their world and they haven't with yours" It was Magnus that spoke, His unusual cat eyes made Rose think of Lissa's old cat Oscar and all the glitter, spiky hair and makeup made her think of the times when her and Lissa would dress up when they were younger.

"What?" Alec asked Magnus

"Rose, Dimitri and Eddie are half human-half vampire which are called Dhampir they protect mortal vampires the Moroi" Magnus pointed at Christian and Lissa "From, immortal Vampires, the Strigoi"

"And you didn't tell us this… why?" Alec looked at Magnus

"I didn't know until I saw them fight with stakes, even then I was suspicious, but then I saw their marks and it put the pieces in the puzzle" Magnus said holding Alec's hand

"Okay, so you know about us" Rose said "Now your turn"

"Well, we are shadow hunters half human-Half Angel, we get our power from runes" Jace pointed on the black marks on his forearm "and we are Protectors of the mundanes f-"

"You're half angel?" Rose asked laughing

"And your half vampire, I win here " He said glaring at her "We protect them from demons and rogue down worlders which are Werewolves, Vampires, Warlocks, Fairies However some are good like Magnus" He pointed at Magnus who waved " He is a warlock. Werewolves are our allies. Vampires are annoying and Fairies are evil" Jace let out a breath and began again "The institute is a safe place nothing evil comes in there are wards that protect us, it is meant for only shadow hunters and good magic"

All of them sat in silence, Lissa spoke first "So, you have never met anyone like us?"

"Simon was a day lighter" Clary begun "He could walk in the sun light but could only drink blood like a normal vampire however he was immortal"

Jace looked around his eyes landed on Dimitri who was studying Jace's showing runes

"We have never met anyone like you before" Dimitri said looking up

"What does this mean?" Isabel asked Magnus

"Well, in my experience with you people, I suggest we stick together since there may be a threat" at everyone stunned expression Magnus continued "These two worlds aren't meant to collide, you both fort vampires together! Shadow Hunters and Dhampir aren't meant to do that"

"So we stick together?" Rose said "Doesn't that just draw attention to us?"

"And there might not even be a threat" Jace said

"Oh there is a threat alright" Magnus said " I can feel it"
