"Why am I the only one who can see you?!" The frightened girl stormed around him, assessing him weakly "Because you're not a mundane" He sounded bored. "What's a mundane?" "Humans. The monotonous, vile, undeserving beasts that roam this planet." A beautiful woman jumped down off a dumpster behind her, long dark hair against silk skin. "You are a shadowhunter, like my dear friend here, which is a playful name for demon killer" The girl skipped between looking from one to the other. Her phone rang but her scared gaze didn't falter. "Answer the goddamn phone, it's your mother" She hesitated but listened to the older woman. As she talked the hooded hunter turned to the ruby lipped woman "How do you know so much about us?" It wasn't questioning, it was angry. "Don't be so tense, I have simply come for the girl" His eyes hardened on her "And what if I won't let you?" She smirked "I was counting on it". Little Red freaked out and ran. "She doesn't appear to want to go with you, maybe she's gay hmm?" A mocking lick of her lips. He growled audibly, snapping his face away from the fleeing human. "So what interest is she to you hunter boy?" The leather clad woman wandered on clacking heels down the grimey concrete."She is a human who can see demons, therefore is noticed by demons. It is my job to protect her" "Cut the crap, Jace. You see what I see in her. The oh so corruptible innocence. But she will be mine." She sneered, her fangs slightly exposed.
Well this escalated quickly. His leather boots pounded against the pavement as he stormed toward her, loose shirt barely tucked into his tight pants, eyes ablaze. She grinned simply as he pushed her against the wall, knife to her throat, hand pinned to the bricks. "How dare you-" "Ooh yes baby, I like it rough". Her tongue dashing out. He pushed the knife in deeper "Do you doubt that I will use this blade?!" "Of course not, you are a ruthless hunter, but you could not kill me even if you wanted to, and you don't want to" He allowed her to turn his other hand so the blade was between them, his hand still holding hers against the wall. The anger in his eyes turned to a simmer and he licked his lips absently. "What you really want... Well." She ran her tongue along the face of the blade, eyes closed in a mock euphoria, exposing the deep rune printed on her tongues surface. "What you want is much easier to do" She winked at him and suddenly fell through the ground. "By the way" Her whisper through his head shocked him more than her disappearance "Red's in a bit of trouble, save my damsel would you?"
He wiped the demon blood onto his forearm and glared at her in his peripherals. Still strength there, despite the shaking form. He sighed and pulled her to his chest "It's okay, it's dead now. Calm down, it's over". The words that humans crave. "C'mon it's not safe here" He could feel her heart beating against his chest. What a perfect sound. He practically dragged her around the streets, stumbling on her feet towards the only safe place he could think to take her. "Where are you taking me?" She muttered, standing on her own. Her long hair matted from the dog fight. Face smeared with blood and tears. They turned into another alley. "The only place you'll be safe, the institute. It's not far; can you walk on your own?" "Yea I th-think so-" She was cut off by her own muffled scream as she was grabbed from behind, one hand around her waist, the other on her throat. It was a policeman, his teeth tearing out of his flesh. Not through mundane eyes. He flung an expert kick to the demons face over her shoulder. Impressive. The demon let her go just in time for her to scream. He flung around and planted his blade in the chest of another dress up cop. He turned around to see two more stalking up to the young girl. "Shit.." He mumbled under a scowl. This was an ambush.
"Oh dear hunter.." That whisper through his head. The ruby lipped lady fell in front of him, hair flying wildly around her as she landed. The leather creaked as she stood up, thigh high boots coating a pure black jumpsuit. His eyes lingered on open zipper at her chest, her breasts squeezed relentlessly into the tight fabric, opened just enough to be alluring. "I leave you with my little Red and you lead her straight to the wolves." She tutted and pulled a sword off her back, square at the end. The hunter and the girl could just watch as the leather woman weaved her way in circles around the other worlders, expertly slicing, dealing death with each blow. She finished in an exaggerated pose, head down, sword out. She chuckled maniacally as she stood, taking slow steps toward Red. "It's okay now Red, Ivory is going to take care of you" She stared her in the eye and licked along her sword before resheathing it, making the younger girl shiver. "Get away from her." The blonde's muscles were tensed with rage, no doubt from being belittled, but his eyes flashed with mischief. "Oh come now Johnny, I just saved your sweet ass." Ivory took that chance to look him up and down, his shirt torn slightly, exposing the tight muscles over his ribs. He used a hand to brush his messy hair from his face. His lips were full and pale, parted slightly. She wanted him more for the rapid rise and fall of the chest. "The least you could do is not steal my prize" She did a slow sweep of her head until she was looking at Red sideways, letting out a throaty purr. "Isn't anyone going to ask me what I want?!" Red looked like a spitting baby tomcat. Adorable. Ivory appeared behind her, arms around her waist and lips on her ear "If you had choice in this world, Doll, neither of us would be here". Goosebumps. How very.. human. "If you hurt her.." Jace took a step forward in possession but she merely tightened her grip on the young girl. "You'll what? What you have seen is just a fraction of what I can do" She sniffed at Clary's hair. Red. "Well you obviously don't know what I can do" His eyes turned icy and he approached the two, blade in hand. "You want to fight me?" She chuckled in disbelief. "Bold or stupid? I suppose we will find out". She pushed Red to the side and drew her sword over her head, still tainted by the demon blood. Clary fell to the ground and scrambled to get further away, stopping when she hit a wall. The older woman tested the leather by raising one leg straight above her head and giving a beckoning finger. Reminiscent of karate kid, a favourite when she was young. He increased his pace, blade by his side and gaze never leaving her eyes. He reached her with a strike to her stomach but a simple turn of her foot dodged it. She brought her leg down on the back of his head, ending with his head by her knees. "While your down there.." Her voice dripping in pleasure. He growled loudly as he swiped her legs from underneath her, landing her on her back. "If you wanted to top you just had to ask!" She swung her blade along the ground, making him jump quickly. She used the movement to spin onto her feet, crossing her sword over her chest to block his slash. The blades hit with sickening ring. Face to face again she licked her ruby lips and pushed on her sword, making him step backward. She used the room to plant a kick high to his chest, he fell back into the opposite wall and she was on him again, sword looking clumsily large at his throat. She leaned in until their noses touched, relishing in his low growl. "You have no idea what I can do. You called me an 'other' but that is an insult to my true form" She let her anger rush through her eyes and captured his lips in a ravenous kiss, pressing their bodies together against the wall. She pulled away and searched his eyes before falling into the floor again. She reappeared at the end of the alley, arms wrapping swiftly around the fleeing Red who let out the appropriate squeal. "Please take better care of her" She pushed the younger girl toward the still wide eyed boy "I don't want to have to drop in every time she's in trouble" Ivory blew a kiss and strode confidently around the corner, disappearing again. He regained his composure quickly but his mind was still whirring. "Shall we continue?" He brushed back his hair and put on his hood, grabbing her by the arm on the way past. Ivory huh?...
