Chapter 3; Magic and Manicures
The room was quiet; the only noise a light snoring coming from a lump on the bed. It was messy too; the floor was littered with what looked like packets of herbal ecstasy, old plates and empty coffee cups, creating a strong smell of stale coffee, alcohol, and smoke. It was a plain looking room; the walls were bare, save a few old movie posters and a mirror next to the bed. The wasn't much furniture either, a worn down couch, a square table with three unstable looking chairs and an old dressing table, which was covered in makeup pots.
A door opened on the wall opposite the bed, and a newcomer stepped in. He was tall and very thin; he had bright silver hair dip dyed black, ending sharply at his chin with long bangs. He looked Asian, Japanese? His eyes were an unusual shade of brown, almost amber and were covered in dark make up. He had pale skin, almost too pale and was wearing what looked like silk pyjamas. He raised his eyebrows at the sleeping figure on the bed, and then raised one perfectly manicured hand and the bed sheets flew of, revealing another figure. He too was male with black hair, bright green eyes and an annoyed expression.
"Why?" he asked, as he got out of the bed, running a long fingered hand through his hair, sparks flying from his fingers as he did.
"Because we have to go," the other replied, walking towards the dresser, as graceful as a cat.
"Kai, you know I love you, but why are you worrying about your makeup, because I'm sortta getting the whole running from a grave peril vibe?" said the black haired boy, as he walked over to stand next to Kai, who was fixing up his makeup.
"Who said anything about mortal danger, or whatever? I just want to go out!" Kai replied, fiddling with his lip piercing, then opening a draw and pulling out a pair of tight leather pants. He held them up against his chest and raised his eyebrows.
"Yeah those are good; wear them with the...No that was off the topic! You woke me up to tell me that we are going out, which incidentally we aren't,"
"Oh, Leeeev, please?"Kai whined, turning to the other.
"Fine, I'll go. Wear them with you boots and that green coat we bought the other day." Lev said this bluntly, but he pulled Kai in for a kiss anyway.
"You haven't asked where I was yet," Kai whispered as he slowly unbuttoned his lovers' shirt.
"Well, I don't care what you do when you're out; I'm a lot more interested about what we do in."
"Well, I might be able to cancel our plans for tonight."
Moscow 1927
The snow fall was heavy that year, which for Russia wasn't really a surprise, but Kai could tell there was something unnatural about it. Supernatural. And he really didn't like it. He knew it was downworld magic instantly, you didn't have to be that powerful at all to guess that much, but it took him a day or two to discover it was Fey magic, they were good at hiding any trace of their magic. Kai didn't like faeries, they always annoyed him, but so did downworlders, anything really, messing with the magical forces of his city. So he decided to leave it for a few days, and if it was still going on after that, he would go and confront the Seelie Court, carefully of course. But when he got there, he discovered that it wasn't the Seelie court. Not at all, it was something much worse. He would have left it at that, but after another month or so, they kept on playing with the magics, and it was no longer the weather that they were playing with, the shadowhunters from the Moscow institute finally realised what was going on at that stage, so they confronted Kai, told him that he had to do something about it.
1927 that was the best year of Kais life, it was the year he was sentenced to death, it was the year he made a deal with the devil, it was also the first time he fell in love.
You know, I really love reviews, even if they are just you telling me I suck because I made you wait so long, and then I wrote the shortest chapter EVER!A whole 711 words, yeah I know I suck! But I have plotted the rest of this story, so updates will be coming in a lot faster now :0
