Chapter Four
John Egbert
It was pretty hard to hide that you were a warlock. You couldn't walk out in public without wearing those itchy, uncomfortable contacts. Sure you could just fold your wings flat across your back and wear a jacket to hide them but your eyes were harder since they were all blue except for the pupil.
You didn't really mind though. You liked keeping to yourself anyways. That's why, while most warlocks work closely with the shadowhunters, you don't You'd rather stay out of this demon business and do what you want. However, you were constantly hassled by the nephilim. You were powerful. That much was obvious.
Of course being a warlock you were the most powerful out of all the downworlders but you were also one of the most powerful of your kind. At least in the area. You taught yourself from a young age how to perform magic. Most warlocks don't learn until later in their life.
And you have a lot of free time so why not practice? So yeah, over a few hundred years (you lost count by now) you've become very powerful. But that doesn't mean you want to help the shadowhunters. Why the hell would you want to do that? They've never done anything for you.
So you moved to a pretty hidden house in the mountains. Not a lot of people liked to take the trek up the mountain just to talk to you so you were grateful. You don't like climbing the mountain either but hello. Wings.
It was kind of lonely but you did have a friend. Her names Jade. You're pretty close to her. She's a warlock too. With gold splotches, scale like in texture all over her skin. Made her look like she was glowing. It was really pretty to be honest. But you don't talk to her much anymore.
So you have to do something to kill your boredom. Like tonight, you just went for a walk. Or..fly. You ended up on a roof top. Just looking down at the city. It was dark and quite, just how you liked it. But then you saw him. The boy standing on the ground, looking up at you.
He seemed to freeze when you looked at him. At first you thought he was a human so you left. But then you realized a human wouldn't have been able to see that high in the dark. Shadowhunter? No there was no reason for them to be out. Then you got it. Vampire. What other creature would be out at night? Well besides you.
You were just going to go home but curiously got the best of you and you had to find out for sure. So you found him again, walking back the way he came. Oh he was cute. You followed from afar until he walked into the old hotel. Yup. Defiantly a vampire.
Satisfied with the answer you had gotten you went back to your house. He looked young. Well who knows how old he really is but when he was turned he must have been in his teens. Poor kid. Sucked into a life like that before truly being able to live life. Oh well, it's not your concern.
