Hi! Welcome to the second chapter to "Lost". Ummmmmm yeah I think that's it… Again, this is not really a fanfiction. The reason it is a "crossover" between Edgar Allan Poe and The Mortal Instruments is because Edgar Allan Poe is the BEST author that ever lived and my absolute FAVORITE and The Mortal Instruments is I think my favorite book soooooo yeah…

CHAPTER 2

At the end of school, I began to walk to wherever my legs took me to first... Then Luke caught up to me.

"What's up." He said. I looked at the road, the trees, my feet, then into his eyes.

"Walking." I said at last.

"Can I walk with you?" He asked.

"Ummm, sure." I replied. I was still confused. I mean why all of a sudden is he talking to me?

We finally came to his house. People were already waiting outside in their Halloween costumes. They looked really stupid. We entered his house. They had decorated it with all kinds of crap. It looked pretty cool. Spider webs, signs, giant spiders, coffins, and holographic ghosts were everywhere. Luke stayed with me the whole time, so I had a pretty good time. We talked about everything. I can't believe this was all happening. I felt... normal for a change.

Everybody went outside in the woods trying to scare each other. Me and Luke followed, but he too my hand and went further into the woods. "Where are we going?" I asked, "Everybody's back the other way."

"I was getting a headache, weren't you?" He replied when we finally stopped.

"Um. not really." I said

There was a certain energy in the air that I didn't recognize. My heart was beating so fast and my stomach was doing back flips.

I looked into his eyes. They were the brightest stars reflecting off of the moon's light.

He came closer to me. He kept coming closer until he had me backed up against a tree. He put his hands on my cheeks and moved my hair out of my face. He was even more gorgeous up close. I couldn't help myself. I put my arms around his neck. We both slowly moved toward each other, and we kissed. Easy at first, then with a little force, then with a lot of force. His body was pressed very tightly against mine. He grabbed the bottom of my shirt and was pulling it up when his friends found us.

I was the only girl at the entire, and all of his friends were from different schools, so they didn't mind talking to me. This was a totally different atmosphere then school or home.

"Whoa dude!" one of them yelled at Luke.

Luke let go of my shirt, and put his arm around me, "Uh, hey guys, ummm what gives...?" He said. He looked a little embarrassed, yet comfortable.

"We couldn't find you so we came to look for you," The same boy said, "We didn't expect to see you like this, you want us to come back tomorrow morning?" He looked at me and stepped into the moonlight. He looked like Lucan, but way different.

He gave off that "Goth/emo" vibe. He had jet black hair, and bright glistening blue eyes, almost brighter then mine (they might have easily been brighter then mine). His hair was shaggy and VERY emo looking, like mine, and unlike the other boys around me, he had no neon color in it. He was wearing a red and black techno/checker like shirt with a black jacket. He had black skinny jeans, and red high tops with black laces.

He shook my hand. "Hi, my name is James Lee... And you might be...?" He had a very strong British accent and I could detect some French as well.

"I'm Alex Cook..."

"Nice to meet you... Alex Cook..." He replied.

The other boys stepped into the faint moonlight.

"This is Jackson Sanders," He pointed to the blonde one, "...and this is Deven, "He pointed to the red head, "Deven Watts."

Deven had brown eyes. His hair was cut like James's and it had neon blue streaks all through it. He had a black Green Day shirt on with a leather jacket. He had black bell bottoms with chains hanging down and neon blue high tops. His lip was pierced with a golden loop on the left side.

The other one, the blonde one, Jackson Sanders, wasn't like the others. He still had that punk/Goth feel to him, but like a little brighter. He had four peircings in his right eyebrow, he had a nose ring, and each ear had at least 6 black studs in each ear. He had a purple and black stripped beanie-like-hat and his blonde hair flipped out around it. His shirt was purple and green stripes and he had a black jacket on with dark blue skinny jeans. His hair was streaked with blue, green, pink, and red.

James took his eyes of me and stared gravely at Lucan, "Your mom's calling us in, some guy escaped from jail. Dude, your mom's crazy! She's probably that guy!"

I already knew there would be hell to pay for not coming straight home and now it was 11:50, "I should be getting home anyway." I said.

"You do?... Oh well I was hoping to get to know you a little more, see ya' 'round!" Jackson said.

"Bye Alex. I guess I'll see you at school then..." Lucan said. He stepped away from me and put his head down.

"Bye Luke." I stepped forward and kissed him on the lips. He put his head up and smiled an irresistible smile.

I walked down the street to my house.

I slowly opened the door. Nothing. I didn't want to make much noise so I went straight to my room. I took a shower, got dressed, laid down on my floor, and began to draw. I always drew, especially when I was scared, which it has been that way since my mom remarried... Afraid that I'll make one wrong move, always afraid that I'm not good enough for Joe and my mom. I hid my emotions in my drawings, it helped sometimes...

When I became satisfied with my drawing, I curled up into my bed and went to sleep.

I wasn't asleep for long, maybe five minutes, when the sound of my door woke me up. I saw the dark outline of a man in my doorway. I rolled over and acted like I was asleep. I heard footsteps coming across the room to my bed. He turned me on my back. I closed my eyes, quickly, but saw who it was, my step dad. I opened my eyes a crack, then closed them again I didn't want him to suspect that I was awake. He shook me violently and put his hand over my mouth. "Shhhh..." He said, "This will only hurt for a little bit, then it will all be over.'

I was confused, but I soon found out what he meant. With his other hand he pulled a knife out of his pants. He lifted his arm up above my body and brought it down, stabbing my stomach. "I should have done that a lot sooner sweetheart..." I heard him say just before he left the room.

The pain was unlike anything I had ever experienced in my life. I looked down at my stomach, the knife still there, but blood gushed from out around it. Breathing became harder and harder until I decided to give in, and I closed my eyes for what I thought would be forever.
