Oh, and Sebastian's hair was dyed black in the third book, but it is revealed in the fourth that his hair is naturally white, like Valentine's
The room was silent. Every Shadow Hunter knew something was wrong with this boy.
Especially Lila.
She sat at the end of the table, next to the New Yorkers and some Pennsylvanians. She came from Indianapolis, Indiana, and had worked her fair share of demons, alone. Her family had brutally sent her out into the world when she was ten. But since she was 16, she had trained herself, and worked in Indy alone. It was odd to see so many people working together, or creating a master plan. Her 'master plan' was to kill any demon that crossed you. And to work alone.
Which is why it was hard to stay in her seat.
She sensed it. It was in the boy's blood. He was a demon. And she knew he should be dead.
That sickening smile he had, it was just freaky. Like he should be in a cheap horror flick.
She glanced across the table, to see if anyone else sensed it as well. It seemed she was the only one. Until, her eyes fell on the three New York City representatives.
The pretty red head was clutching the boy, who was around the same age as herself, and had hair like a golden halo. The gorgeous girl sitting next to them, with pristine jet black hair, had turned stony.
She nervously chewed on the gum in her mouth, and wrapped a finger in one of her many blonde curls. She needed to talk to these people, find out who this kid was.
The man conducting the meeting patted the boy's back, and the boy's wispy hair shook around his face. Lila then noticed his eyes.
They were jet black.
She shivered, and almost fell out of her chair when the jet black eyes met her. She clenched her hands on the table, trying hard not to scream.
"His name is Sebastian," the man continued, "And he has graciously agreed to help."
She couldn't hold it in any longer, she just might explode. She jumped out of her chair and pointed at "Sebastian".
"He's part dem -"
"What the hell is -"
She looked across the table. The boy with the golden hair had jumped up at the same time as she did. They looked at each other questioningly, until he sat back down.
"By all means," he said loudly, "Take the lead." He sat down next to the red head, who nodded at her.
She blinked, and spoke again, a little unsure. "Right." She looked around at some 60 odd people starring at her. "This thing," her voice quivered, "Is not human! Can't you feel it?" The people stiffened, and turned back to her.
"He's a monster," she whispered. "I know it."
The conducting man shifted uncomfortably, "It is unfair to judge people on a first glance, Lila."
OoOoOoOoO
So that was her name, Lila.
Clary wanted to walk over and give her a hug. She was about her age, with curly blonde hair and dark blue eyes.
Clary watched Lila sit back down, shaking. How did she know about Sebastian?
The people around the room grew unsure of this boy. They were murmuring fears to each other, and glancing at Sebastian, who was now intently starring at Lila.
"Enough!" The man gripping Sebastian's shoulder said, "He is our only option." Silence followed, in realization that he was probably right.
"We will send out a message to you concerning our next move of action. Stay in LA for a few more days. It is undecided how long."
People began to slowly file out of the room. Clary looked back at Lila, who looked frustrated as all get out. Her hand shook through her blonde curls.
Jace, Clary and Izzy were some of the last to leave the room. Clary made sure to stand behind Lila, so they could talk outside. Just when Lila was about to leave the room, Sebastian came up to her side.
He gave her an unpleasant crooked smile. "Don't be afraid," he sneered, edging closer. "Did you come here alone? You were the only one from Indianapolis." His hand slowly traced down her arm.
Lila cringed. Her arm slapped his hand anyway. She moved quickly, Clary noticed. Almost as quickly as Jace.
"You don't touch me," she growled, "Ever. You're a demon. I know it." She stalked out of the room, her curls swinging around her shoulders.
"Human enough for you, doll!" He shouted after her. Jace protectively snaked his arm around Clary's waist, and walked out of the room, before Sebastian could speak to them.
When they reached to the elevator, the doors were closing, ready to make its way down.
"Hold the door please!" Clary said, jogging to the doors. A small hand snuck through the crack between the doors. The doors slid apart, revealing Lila, who wore a skeptical face.
OoOoOoOoO
Jace lead them into the elevator, gripping Clary's hand. Izzy followed, glancing up at Lila.
"H-hey!" Clary started, attempting a conversation. "I'm Clary, this is Jace, and this is Isabelle."
She smiled back, a nice smile, "Hi. I'm Lila." They fell into an awkward silence for the rest of the ride down.
As the elevator doors opened, and they began to walk out, Lila spoke.
"Wait!" She said, walking out the doors and catching up with them. "Do you know who that son of bitch upstairs is?"
Jace cracked a smile, and Izzy laughed. Clary, however, saw the actually concern in her eyes, the fear of who is he and what he might do.
"Yes," she said quietly, "We know him. Are you really here by yourself?"
Lila opened her mouth to speak, but fell back in silence. "I guess so." She muttered.
Izzy, who seemed to know how to handle these kinds of situations, fluttered up to Lila. "Well, join us for dinner, and we can tell you all about him!"
Lila smiled a little, glad for the company.
Simon stood up from the chair in lobby, glad that he didn't have to wait anymore.
"Who's the new girl?" he asked, looking at Lila questioningly.
"Way to be rude, babe." Izzy said, rolling her eyes. Simon held out his hand.
"Simon Lewis, at your service," Lila shook his hand, when her eyes widened.
"But -"
"No, you're not tripping, I am a vampire."
A/N: Incase anyone was wondering how I pictured Lila, my profile picture is exactly how I wanted her to look, minus the glasses.
So I wanted to have a character of my own creation in the story. She will become very important soon, and you will find out why. REVIEW! Please!
