Chapter 1:

Zeke had just introduced Allison to Darrin and Jeb when a glowing whole in the air appeared. Out of the whole flew a blur of white, red, and black. The blur separated into two figures. One of the figures was a petite redheaded girl. The other one was a tall pale boy. Just before the glowing whole closed another boy with golden hair came hurtling through.

The pale boy leaped at redheaded girl. Before he reached her the golden boy intercepted him. The boys fought. They moved faster than any vampire Allison had ever seen. Then again she hadn't really seen that many vampires. Maybe the vamps she had seen were just slow. Although she didn't think that was the case.

The pale boy threw the golden boy through the air. The golden boy hit the side of a wall hard and fell to the ground unmoving.

"Jace!" the redhead cried.

She ran forward trying to reach the golden boy. She had barely taken a step before the pale boy picked her up around the waste.

"No! Let me go!" the redhead screamed.

She kicked the pale boy in the knee. Allison heard the sound of bones grinding. The pale boy's grip loosened on the redhead and she took off for Jace's side. She reached him and pulled something long and silver from her pocket. There were several black markings on it. The redhead began drawing similar looking marks on Jace.

The pale boy recovered from the kick and rushed at Jace and the redhead. He grabbed the redheads arm, just as Jace was coming to. Before the pale boy could take her; Jace grabbed other arm. For a few seconds Jace and the pale boy played tug of war, using the redhead as the rope. The redhead, getting tired of the boys tugging on her, stomped on the pale boy's foot. The pale boy yelped and let go of her. Jace, having gotten up by this time, pulled a dagger from a belt at his waste and swung it at the other boy. The pale boy took off running.

Jace was still week from being thrown into the wall though, and wasn't able to keep up.

"Who are you? What are you?" Jeb asked.

There's been a warp of time and space

Shadowhunters are scarce in this place

Of civilization there is a great dearth

Because vampires rule the entire earth
