Richard, Georgyannah, Daisy, and Adrenne walk into the library a couple minutes later. Alana is sitting at a table there looking over a stack of books. When they walk in, she glances up at them. She smiles a relieved smile.
"Great. You're all here. We have a major problem." She informs them. She quickly hurries around the table to them.
"What's the problem?" Richard asks.
"Well, there seems to be more demons than normal appearing all over the place. A group of shadowhunters had to dispatch a Drakon Demon just off outside of Manhattan." Alana explains. "And there seem to be more of them appearing every day."
"That's unusual." Georgyannah states. "Do you think someone's letting them in?"
Alana nods slightly. "That's my guess. Yeah. That's the only explanation that I can come up with."
"But who would do that?" Richard asks, thinking deeply.
Alana shrugs. "I have no idea."
At that moment, laughter fills the entire room. Richard, Daisy, Georgyannah, and Alana tense slightly and reach for their weapons. Adrenne glances around silently. Her hands crackle with magic.
"Who's there?" Richard demands, glancing around.
Laughter answers him. "Who are we? We are your worst nightmare." Suddenly, a whip shoots out and grabs hold of Richard's seraph blade. Richard immediately tries to grab it, but the whip yanks it away from his hand. The seraph blade flies across the room and lands behind a desk.
Richard growls as he turns in a slow circle. "Show yourselves, cowards!"
"Cowards? We're not cowards." Two figures step into the room through the main doors. One is a guy. The other is a girl.
The girl's got long, blonde hair, down to around the bottom of her ribs, eyes are a dark brown, with flecks of golds, high-cheek bones and to-pale skin, ears pierced three times, black, torn skinny jeans, black tee-shirt, black combat boots, black leather jacket, with a gold whip, long gold necklaces with a black and gold belt, and black eyeshadow, and runes cover her arms. She has a whip wrapped around her hand.
The guy has short, messy sun-blonde hair, with stone grey eyes with no emotion and no colour. He has to-pale skin, he's quiet tall and reasonably muscular, black trousers and a tight black tee-shirt and black boots, and runes cover his arms. He wields a deadly sword.
"Who are you?" Georgyannah asks softly.
The guy laughs. "How rude of us. I am Alex Krypton and this is my sister, Alayaa. You don't need to introduce yourselves. We know who you are." He grins evilly at all 5 of them. The girl, Alayaa, was glancing at all of them in turn, but she seems to stare at Richard a little longer than the others.
Richard couldn't say anything. He just stands there, staring at Alayaa. She's beautiful, he tells himself. He couldn't keep his eyes off of her.
Alex glances at Richard and traces his gaze to his sister. He growls. "Now, lets get down to bussiness. We came here to take care of any resistance that we might have against our plans."
Richard shakes himself out of his trance and glares at him. "Well, you found the resistance you were looking for." He dives for his seraph blade.
Alayaa calmly pulls her whip back and stikes out at him quickly. It strikes his back.
Richard hisses in pain, but scoops up his blade before whirling to face them. Daisy, Georgyannah, and Alana pull out their own weapons and Adrenne raises her hands.
Alex chuckles and grins. "I see that, but we've come prepared." At that moment, there's a howl and a wolf leaps over their heads. It lands in front of everyone. The wolf has sleek black fur and blood red eyes. It glares at them with hunger. "Meet Alan. Our friend the werewolf and his friends." Two more wolves leap into the room.
Daisy gasps and takes a step back, startled. Richard growls and grips his blades tighter. "Bring it on."
The werewolf, Alan, turns on him. He growls before leaping forward and slamming into him hard. Richard flies backwards into a bookshelf. He sldies to the floor before slowly standing again.
"Richard!" Alana shouts, striking out at another werewolf. The werewolf dodges her blade before leaping at her.
Daisy deflects another werewolf's fangs as Georgyannah shoots towards Alex. Alex grins and dodges her strike. Adrenne hurls a bolt of blue light towards Alayaa. Alayaa dives to the side.
Richard's eyes seem to glow red as he brings his seraph blade down towards Alan. Alan howls in pain as the blade strikes his front left paw. He then slams Richard into the bookshelf again. Richard shouts as he slides to the floor again. Alan stands over him. He's about to clamp his jaws onto his throat, but Richard strikes out and knocks him onto his back. He's out cold.
Daisy and Alana deal with the other two werewolves easily. Alex deflects all of Georgyannah's strikes with ease. After a moment longer of toying with her, he strikes out and slams the hilt of his sword into the side of her head. She crumbles to the ground, unconscious.
"Georgie!" Richard shouts, starting towards them.
"I wouldn't do that if I were you." Alex warns, placing the tip of his sword against Georgyannah's throat.
Richard freezes in his tracks. At that moment, Alayaa walks back up next to her brother with her whip wrapped tightly around Adrenne's throat. Adrenne has a cut across her forehead and blood drips into her eyes.
"Let them go." Daisy pleads lowering her blade.
Alex smirks at them. Alan slowly makes his way back up next to him. "Well, it seems like we've over stayed our welcome. I think it's time for us to go." Alayaa unwraps her whip from around Adrenne's neck. Adrenne slumps to the ground as Alex, Alan, and Alayaa disappear with a silent shimmer of light.
Richard, Daisy, and Alana rush up towards their friends. Richard pulls out his seraph blade and starts to draw runes across Georgyannah's arm. After a moment, she takes a shallow breath and opens her eyes. She glances around.
"What happened? Did they get away?" She asks softly, sitting up slowly.
Richard nods. "Yeah. They got away."
Alana was patching Adrenne up. She then glances over at them when she was done. "I think they're the one's who are letting the demons in."
Everyone nods. "Yeah."
"Well, I'm going to do some research about them to see what I can find out about them. The rest of you can go get some rest." Alana stands up and moves over to a bookshelf. She starts to search silently.
Everyone else walks slowly to their rooms. Richard lays in his bed, but instead of going to sleep, he stares at the ceiling, thinking about Alayaa.
I've never felt this way about anyone before, he tells himself. Am I in love? He ponders this for a little while longer before he falls asleep.
