A/N: Hello guys, so, this is my first fanfiction ever, it's something that kept coming to my mind, so one day I decided to write it. I really apologize for any language mistake, I am brazilian and my english is not that good, but I think that you'll understand what I wanted to say... I think.
I don't own any of the stories. :(
CHAPTER 1
Alissa's POV:
As I crossed the portal, I found myself standing in front of a building that looked like an old church I recognized at the time as the institute, as it had details of the angelic power rune on the big gate bars. Around the Institute, was one big city, full of buildings so high that seemed to pierce the sky, the ancient beauty of the institute stood out from the concrete jungle, shame that other people did not see more than an old abandoned church.
The Tokyo Institute was big but not as big as New York's. I hurried and crossed the street, through the gate and hitting the big wooden door. While waiting someone to open it, I took the stele off my belt and drew the language rune on the inside of my arm because I definitely could not speak Japanese (despite being addicted to anime).
A few seconds later and the rune was ready. Thanks to Clary, my skill with runes only increased, and I admired her so much.
Once finished, the big wooden door opened revealing a boy who appeared to be my age and be at most a few years older, he had black hair that reached to just below his ears, his eyes were also black and his skin was very pale, (not as much as mine) black runes stood out on his skin. When I realized I was staring at him for a while, my cheeks flushed slightly.
-Ohayo, you must be Alissa, right? - he pronounced the, I was so ashamed to have been facing him that I only agreed shaking my head.- Come with me.
He gave way for me to go in and he shut the door behind us, we walked side by side into the institute and he motioned for me to follow him and I did.
As we walked, I noticed that the Tokyo Institute was not very different from New York, the differences were very slight.
"Does it have a standard for the interior of the institutes?" I thought, but my thoughts were interrupted by the boy, that stopped in front of a door.
-This is your room, put your bags there and follow me. - He said he kind of cold, guess that the rumors about japanese people were truth.
-Okay. - I opened my mouth for the first time since I arrived and entered the room leaving my bags on the bed, the room was exactly like my old one, but I did not have much time to look at it, the boy was still waiting for me at the door.
I got out of the room and followed him again, I was curious about him, I wanted to know his name, but I was a little embarrassed to ask.
We stopped again, this time in front of a lot bigger door, this must be the library. The boy gave two tapping and we heard a male voice say "come on in" then he opened the door and went in first and I soon followed.
Sitting in front of a fireplace reading, was a very handsome man just like the boy next to me, the difference is that his body was more muscular than the boy's, I assumed that this is his father.
-Otou-san, Alissa-san arrived.- said the boy and the man lowered the book he was reading and stared at me now.
-Arigato, Ichiro, you can go now. - said the man now standing so the boy, Ichiro, bowed slightly, if I'm not mistaken this means respect here, so Ichiro came out and the man turned to me. - Alissa-san Ohayo, my name is Yamashida Tatsuo, but you can call me Tatsuo, I am responsible for the institute. - He held out his hand and I took it.
-Ohayo, Tatsuo-san. - I said with a smile. - Nice to meet you.
- The pleasure is all mine, I heard very well about you, Maryse told me how talented you are to learn things. - He said smiling back.
-Arigato. - I said rather embarrassed. - Well, do you know something about my mission? They did not give me many details before I came.
-Sure, follow me, I will show others and at dinner I'll tell you all about your mission. - By others, I think he refers to the other shadowhunters who live here.
I followed him out of the library to the training room, where Ichiro and two boys trained.
-Boys. - Called Tatsuo. - This is Alissa, she was sent by the Clave, Alissa, these are my children, Ichiro older one who you already met. - He said pointing Ichiro who bowed. - Akira and Yato, the twins. - He said, pointing to two other boys as high as Ichiro and with the same eyes, hair and pale skin.
-It's a pleasure to meet you Alissa-san. - Said the twins bowing.
-The Pleasure is all mine. - I said, but did not bow, just gave a smile.
Well, let's have dinner, I still need to give you the details of the mission. - Tatsuo said leading us to a dining room.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
- That's it. - Tatsuo said when he finally finished telling me what I was supposed to do here.
Basically I'm going to live with these six guys that are vampires, the Sakamaki, I'll be the new sacrifice bride of them, that are selected girls from a church to serve of food to those six. Apparently they do not know anything about the shadowhunters or the downworld beings.
-So my job is to observe and serve of food for them? - I asked a little angry, I definitely would not be the dinner to a stupid vampire, I already hated when Raphael Santiago bit me once to annoy me, imagine six vampires ever seen in my life feeding on me? Not going to happen.
-More or less. - Tatsuo said. - You will be able to defend yourself, but we only ask you not to reveal that you are one of us, we want to find out who they are and why they are different from other vampires of the downworld.
I sighed and stared back.
-When I have to go?
-In an hour. - He said somewhat embarrassed to say that I'm leaving so soon.
Well, at least I will not need to unpack. - I said smiling, a sad and somewhat angry smile.
-We need to hurry, the taxi that will pick you should be here any minute. - Tatsuo rose. - But first I want you to accompany me.
I followed him back to the library where he handed me an envelope containing some documents.
-These are your false documents, you will need them. - he said
I opened the envelope to look at the documents, my name has not changed, what has changed is that now I have a last name. Now call me Alissa Stark, I really hope it's Iron Man's Stark and not Game of Thrones' Stark. The reason I never had a surname is because I was abandoned at the orphanage a newborn so... yeah, no last name for me.
We heard two hits on the door and Ichiro came in.
-The taxi has arrived. - I noticed that the boy did not talk much, he must be shy, or he just didn't like my face.
I went into "my room" and grabbed my bags that were intact on the bed.
-Good luck. - said Ichiro accompanying me to the door, when I turned to say goodbye I noticed some suspicion in his eyes ... what a weird guy.
As soon as he closed the door I headed to the taxi and the driver put my luggage in the trunk and I got in the car when the driver entered I informed where I was going and he gave me a look of pity from the car mirror ... did he know what was going to happen to me there? This left me puzzled, if people knew what happened why no one ever said anything the authorities? I decided to put that doubt aside of my mind and put my headphones, it seems the journey would be long so I could get some sleep.
x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x
I awoke to the sound of one of my songs playing and looked out the window. The landscape had changed, we were no longer in a city full of tall buildings and advanced technology, we were on a road surrounded by trees, and I could see on the other side of a lake, a large mansion. After a ten minutes journey we finally arrived at the entrance of the mansion, I got out of the taxi and took my bags. At the moment I approached the gate a very heavy rain began and brought me memories of the day that I arrived at the institute.
FLASHBACK ON:
Alissa was walking on the streets of New York when the rain started, she had nowhere to run, all the shops and cafes were closed at that time of night.
Then Alissa observed a group of people running from the rain going to an abandoned church. The group consisted of three boys and two girls, all wearing black clothes and had strange tattoos around their arms. Alissa did not have much of a choice but to follow the group and ask for shelter until the heavy rain stopped.
She crossed the street now getting face to face with the big iron gate of the church. Alissa pushed the iron bar gate to the side and went to the big wooden door that had strange symbols, such that the girl had seen somewhere. Alissa gave two loud knocks on the wooden door and waited.
It was not long and soon a woman with the same tattoos as the group opened the large double wooden doors, with wide eyes as if she had seen a ghost.
-Who are you? - He asked the woman with long black hair and blue eyes a little darker than the very Alissa. If she did not have the certainty that her hair wasn't naturally black swear that the woman in front of her was her mother.
-My name's Alissa, excuse me, but can I stay here until the rain stops?
The woman stared at Alissa for a moment until she pulled her inside and closed the door behind them. She kept pulling Alissa until she stopped at a large door.
-Wait here, I'll be right back. - Said the woman going through the door and closing it.
Alissa did not hold back and started walking through the halls, she saw a large room that looked like a training room, her curiosity was stronger and she addressed the room where the group of people she saw before kept packing some weapons in large shelves. They did not seem to be so old, maybe two or three years older than her.
Determined not to disturb anyone, Alissa turned and continued to walk the halls. Distracted with the paintings hanging along the corridor, she was not looking where she was going and then ... BOOM!
Alissa fell on her butt with the impact of having bumped into someone, and when she looked up to complain, she saw a blond boy who was to be a few years older than her. His golden brown eyes showed confusion when he looked at her.
-Who are you? - He asked, as he watched the girl with black hair and blue eyes exactly as Alec's, perhaps even one or two shades lighter.
-Jace, what was that noise? - Alec asked when he was close enough, he realized now Alissa that was still on the ground and in the middle of the two older boys. - Who is she?
-Well, of course that I know this weird girl who just got out of nowhere. - Jace said, his voice full of sarcasm and without taking his eyes off the girl.
-My name's Alissa... - The girl said ashamed to still be on the ground, then got up and stared at the blonde. - Sorry, I did not want to bump into you.
-What's going on here? - Asked Maryse, reaching the spot while the others who were left in the room.
-Sorry. - Alissa said still embarrassed. - I was curious and went walking the halls.
The girl received a disapproving look from the older woman that grabbed her hand and lead her to the same door as before, but this time bringing in.
Once she entered, Alissa noticed that the place was a large library with hundreds of books and the girl's eyes lit up when he saw the number of copies of the place.
The woman then began to make a series of questions, which for Alissa seemed to have no sense, and after long hours of explanations and tests, the girl found out that she is actually a shadowhunter, a being half human, half angel, or also called Nephilim. They were responsible for protecting the mundane world safe from demons and maintain balance in the shadow world.
Alissa thought it was all crazy, that she was surrounded by crazy people, but after a while the points were calling up, and her life changed at that very moment.
FLASHBACK OFF.
I got out of my thoughts when I felt compelled to run the short distance from missing to the door of the mansion.
Luckily my clothes consisted of a black tank top, flexible leather pants also black and combat boots guess what color? If you said black ... bingo! Being all black the water didn't make her clothes transparent. These were clothes that I got used really fast, they were typical clothes of all shadowhunters ... always black, the only thing that I wore that was not black was the silver ring that I always left saved. The ring had an "M" at the top and the sides were filled with stars. I have the ring since I can remember, but always had the need to keep it hidden, as if an instinct made me keep it saved, but from the moment I walked through the portal, the need to use it was higher than everything, so for the first time in my life, I put the ring on my middle finger because it was the only finger the ring was not very large. When I was going to knock on the door she opened herself, revealing a large entrance hall, the floor was made of white marble, which contrasted much with me dressed all in black.
With the exception of my footsteps and the rain outside, the place was in total silence.
-Hi ... Is anyone home? - No, the mansion remained in total silence, remembering the way the demons raum attacked, silence before engaging their victims with their long tentacles, the poison of a raum is insignificant compared to the venom of a ravener demon, yet their bites hurt a lot.
I walked down the hall, my footsteps echoing all over the place ... my instincts told me to drop my bags on the floor and grab two of my seraph blades that were turned off on my belt, (A/N:the disabled sefarim blades will have the appearance of a cylinder they are activated forming the blade itself when they speak the angelic name of the blade) but I needed to keep the disguise, I had to keep my angelic swords and my power over the heavenly fire hidden, but I could still use my silver daggers hidden in my belt and my boots.
-Has Anyone there ?! - I said a little louder so someone heard me while I was approaching one of the stairs to the second floor of the mansion.
-Tsc ... You make a lot of noise. - Talked someone lying on a sofa near the window and as I approached I saw it was a red-haired green-eyed boy, when I saw him I remembered Clary and it made my chest tighten, although the tone of their hair and eyes were different, the combination reminded me of her. While distracted in thought the boy up from the couch pulling me by the waist, making my bags fall to the ground and putting me in a position where he stayed on top of me I tried to keep as calm as possible so as not to rip the head of this idiot . - Your scent is even better than Yui's. - He was approaching my neck, I was ready to attack him when a voice made him stop a few feet from me.
-Why do I always have to repeat to you to keep your activities to your room Ayato? - The voice of the shadows came and the owner was a pale boy, red eyes and purplish black hair, he was also wearing glasses I took the moment of distraction of the guy and went from under him. - And who are you?
-Nice to meet you, sir, my name is Alissa Stark, I was sent here by the church. - Said bending over me trying to be as gentle as possible, the supposed cosplay of Harry Potter in front of me seemed surprised by my attitude.
-Now seems that we have a guest with good manners.
"Yeah, dream on doushbag." I thought but did not say anything.
-Take Miss. Stark's luggage to her room. - Potter told to a butler who sprang out of Narnia. - Come with me.
He took me to a large, bright room, Ayato was already there sitting in a chair, I decided to sit on a large sofa that was there.
-Now now, what we have here? - Said another red-haired green-eyed boy that appeared next to me, I swear that if I was not a shadowhunter would have infarcted in the middle of these guys, two years ago I would certainly have had a heart attack. - Its smell is so good ... Bitch-chan.
"Bitch-chan ?! Who does this guy think he is to call me like that ?! "
When he brought his face close to mine I reacted on impulse, I picked up on his wrist and threw it over my shoulder, making him fall on his back.
-You should learn some manners with him. - Pointed to Potter he was surprised by what I just did.
-Hm ... She's not like other brides. - Said the redhead standing. - You're strong for a human, Bitch-chan.
-Who is this? - asked a boy that had lilac hair and eyes, holding a stuffed bear.
-The new bride. - Said a new voice, coming from a more distant sofa, belonged to a blonde who had his eyes closed and was wearing headphones that were attached to his neck somehow.
-It smells so good. - Said the bear boy approaching me.
-What strange tattoos she has ... - another voice, this time a white-haired boy, just like my hair and red eyes.
-Really, It is not proper for a lady to have so many tattoos. - Said Potter.
-They are family of tattoos, we in the orphanage very superstitious. - I said in the calmest voice I had, but inside wanted to rip the heads of these six one by one, I swear that when I return I will go to Alicante and will end this Clave board of crap.
-Since we are all here, let me introduce ourselves. - Said Potter. - The one with the headphones is the oldest Shu, I am the second son, Reiji, these are the triplets Ayato. - like I hadn't noticed it. - Kanato. - Bear boy. - And Laito. - The hat boy. - And the youngest son Subaru.
-What a big family. - I said quietly, but I'm sure they heard. - Well, I think that this was all a big mistake, no one told me anything about being a bride.
I needed to keep the theater ... I think now I know how those CIA agents working undercover feel.
-There is no mistake, you are our new bride whether you like it or not. - Shu said without opening his eyes for a second, it reminds me of the cat institute Church.
- This has to be a mistake. - I turned to walk away, but I ended up tripping over a rug and fell, I felt a slight pain in the right elbow, falling leaned on him and cut him off lightly.
"Shit Alissa, you had to fall. Really good, girl, couldn't you be a little more clumsy?!" I fought with myself in thought looking even from the ground to the six, now staring at me intensely ...
