Elizabeth`s pov
I woke up panting and gasping for air. For me unfortunately my nightmare was only to real. Pulling off my covers I walked over to my closet and changed into some training gear. Feeling the familiar knives in my sleeves i made my way to the training room. I sighed when I stepped through the doors as the room brought back memories of another time. Shaking my head to get rid of the memories I set up a human sized dummy and I flicked both of my wrists and started. Memories floated to the front of my mind again this time of a pair, one of the two teenagers dark and cynical refusing to let anyone in, the other with fine silver hair becoming friends with the other boy. Fighting off horrible automatons and the way they seemed to never die and finally the horrible day that I was cursed to live forever and remain alone for the rest of time. I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder and i reacted by flipping the person and holding one of my daggers to their neck in a way that if they made one wrong move they would bleed out in less than a minute."Elizabeth!" shouted the person and i snapped out of my memory induced state." Oh my goodness Hodge!'' I exclaimed before removing my knife and helping the man up." I`m so sorry!" "No I am the one who`s sorry I should know better than to sneak up on you." He said dusting himself off and gave me a critical look." Nightmares again?" "Yes unfortunately." I said looking at the dummy that I had torn to shreds. Nodding to Hodge as I left the room i made my way the institute kitchen. Once I arrived I opened the fridge and I took out what I need to make hot chocolate. After finishing I sat down on one the stools thinking about how I came to New York. I smiled as I remembered the day. The memory made me smile faintly because it was the first time I felt needed. I smiled as I washed my cup in the sink, when I first arrived at the institute Alec, Jace, and Isabelle were in the middle of doing something that apparently involved throwing knives at spinning wheel. At the time Isabelle was not the best shot but I could tell that she didn`t like to lose, I picked up a knife and tossed it and I smirked as it landed dead center, smiling as she cheered in joy. The smirk disappeared a second later as I reminded myself that I couldn`t get close unless I wanted her to die. All three of them had looked at me in amazement because their mother had explained to them that I was going to be another tutor for them but that I would mainly be teaching them about weapons and the more physical parts of being a shadow hunter. Through the years I started to care about them in my own way considering my circumstances. I smiled to myself once again before walking out of the kitchen and headed back to my room. As soon as I stepped back into my room more memories threatened to overwhelm me once again. Unfortunately before I could attempt to fall back asleep again I heard the three I had been thinking of arguing about something. I sighed before I got off my bed and opened the cabinet in my bathroom to get some sleeping pills that would hopefully allow me to fall asleep and not have any more nightmares of my past. The pills were fast acting and I could already feel tired. I walked back to my bedroom and this time I could feel myself start to drift off peacefully for once. I was thankful for that because now I hopefully would be able to fall asleep for once with out any nightmares. The nightmares had be plaguing me for almost a week and I knew why they were occurring now. However before I could fall asleep, the effects suddenly wore off and I knew what was going to happen next. I pulled myself up and propped my back against the headboard in preparation. The vision began as a pins and needles feeling behind my eyes but it quickly progressed to pounding like jackhammer. My sight of my room swam like I was under water and it felt like I was being submerged underwater. The room gave way to another scene. It was unlike any vision I had ever had before. I recognized Alec, Isabelle, and Jace but there were several other people that I didn`t recognize at all. To many snippets of scenery flashed in front of me but it was almost always the exact same people in all of them. The final vision left me confused because it I was there and I was smiling and laughing along with several other people. It scared me because I didn`t want those people those poor people to die. I sighed before I got up and I pulled one of my numerous sketch pads off of the book case full of them. This was one of my newer ones so I still had room to draw what I had just seen in case I wanted to see my vision again. I started sketching and within a few minutes over half of the sketch book was filled with drawings of those scenes. I flipped through the book to make sure that the drawings were up to my normal standard before stopping at the scene that showed me laughing at a tale with a group of people that judging by the picture I got along with. I shook my head at the odd scene dispelling any thoughts i had on it because I still needed to find Bane but that insufferable bloody twats voice mail said that he was in Tanzania and I was half tempted to go to that country to bring him back here with out him causing something to alert the normal world to the down-world. I sighed before I took out a pen from one of the drawers of my desk and wrote on the book spine the title for it before delicately placing it on my book case almost full of sketchbooks before I went back to my bed and I burrowed into the covers before falling asleep.
