Everyone was looking at me in astonishment of what I just did, I turned to Kyle who high fived me.
"Tell Soph I said bye, bye Kyle." I gave him a kiss on the cheek and sprinted as fast as I could out the door, I have never run as fast as did then I sprinted all the way until I ended up in an alley, I sat on an old milk crate when I heard a noise.
It was a screeching noise, but not the kind a bird would make next thing this sluggish looking creature slithered past; I couldn't move I was frozen in my tracks; I also had this urge to kill it. I saw a sharp piece of broken glass on the crate next to me and picked it up I had never thrown anything that could hurt anyone before but it was worth a shot, I threw it. It hit the thing right between the eyes, then it began to get smaller as if it where folding in on itself then it vanished, I sensed someone behind me and did a back flip off the crate I was standing on and landed behind the person, it was a girl with red hair and green eyes, she was really small and was wearing all black, she turned so quickly.
"Hi, I'm Clary." She said in a cheerful voice
"Jess."
"Nice work with the demon; smart thinking throwing it between its eyes."
"What just happened? Demon? What the hell is going on?"
"You are a Shadow Hunter yes?"
"A what?"
"Clary, who's your friend" said a boy who walked around the corner
"Jace, this is Jess. Jace we have a problem."
"What is it?"
"This girl killed the demon, but doesn't know about us. She is a human with sight."
Just then the girl, Clary, raised her arm and I saw the symbol I have been seeing in my head a Diamond with wings
"Um excuse me, can you tell me what your tattoo means."
"Which one?"
"Clary; careful."
"The diamond shaped one, I have been seeing it in my head for days and I don't know why."
"Hold on a minute please." The girl look worried when she said this
I am so glad I have enhanced senses otherwise I would never have heard what they said
"Jace what if this girl is like me, a Shadow Hunter who didn't know it?"
"Impossible, I mean you are one of a kind."
"Yeah but think, Luke told me once that some people don't get the sight unless they are shown, otherwise they will never see. But if Shadow Hunters are made to see maybe they just weren't ready, what if she just got her sight!"
"How the hell do you come up with all this in seconds?"
"I'm talented."
"Oh I know." He said with a dirty look on his face she punched his arm and turned back to me
"Will you come somewhere with us? We will tell you everything you need to know but not here."
"U-um Okay." I had another flash of a symbol but it wasn't one with wings, it looked like a Chinese symbol with an eye in the middle, my eye sight went dark and the next thing I saw was the pavement moving really close to my face.
"Oww." I complained I had a blood nose and scrapes on my face
"What the hell was that?" Jace asked Clary
"I don't know, are you okay Jess?
"Yeah, um what happened?"
"You like passed out or something but only for a second, did that demon get any um goo on you?"
"Goo?" Jace said, Clary just shrugged
"Um no, I saw a symbol like a tattoo it looked like a Chinese character with an eye."
Jace and Clary just looked at each other; they knew what I was talking about
"Do you have a pen? I'll draw it."
"Um yeah I do." Clary threw the pen at me
I didn't have paper so I drew it on my arm, Clary and Jace stood there like they were shocked or something
"What does it mean?"
"Um I don't know."
"Don't lie to me! People have been lying to me for too long!"
"Okay well-"
"Clary…"
"Shut up Jace, if she sees the runes she needs to know what they are, that rune you drew on your arm is a fearless rune only six or so people have seen it, and only two have used it."
"Why is it so uncommon or whatever?"
"Because Jace, myself and our families are the only ones who know it exists and no one has told anyone about it, the fact that you know this rune is a worry."
"Why?"
"Because I made that rune and you should not know it."
"So people can just make runes?"
"No I am the only one, which is why you shouldn't know it, you need to come to the institute right away."
"How do we get there?"
"The train." Jace said
"You are Demon Hunters and u catch the train?"
Clary burst out laughing "See babe, I'm not the only one who thinks that's stupid."
"Babe? Aren't you like brother and sister?"
"What? No!" Jace kind of yelled
"Sorry, I mean when you said family I never thought people your age would share the same family for boyfriend and girlfriend."
"Right well see, the institute is our home, and everyone that lives there are our family. We don't have to be related by blood just by love."
"Oh right, sorry."
"It's okay; many people miss understand."
"Let's get going."
