Hi, guys! So this is a new story of mine and I am trying to make the chapters longer. Hope you enjoy it. Disclaimer: I don't own anything! :'(

Prologue

"You want us to what?!" Yelled Jace.

"You can't expect us to do that!" Izzy complained. Alec just sat in his chair, arms crossed. He showed no obvious supprise to the mission they had just been assigned. The way he saw it, a mission was a mission and that was that. It wasn't even that bad a task! His siblings were just overreacting. Hodge Starkweather sat behind the desk infront of them, his hands intertwined and resting on the wood.

"It is not an option, you two. You have to do this." His voice was stern and his eyes held fire.

"But why?" Isabelle whined, sounding like a five year old. Alec was taken aback. You were never supposed to question a mission, Izzy knew that. No matter how disturbing it was.

"Izzy!" He scolded. Izzy spun round the face him, her ebony hair hitting Jace in the face.

"What? You're on his side now?" She screeched.

"I never said that. You did." Alec said, his voice low and monotone. He wasn't in the mood for arguing with his little sister. Not today. Izzy spluttered incoherent nonsense at him and he just frowned at her.

"The reason you are doing this, Izzy." Hodge started, answering her question. "Is because a Warlock is causing havoc in a mundane secondry school."

"Secondry school?" Jace inquired. Alec knew what it meant and snorted. Trust Jace to have no idea.

"A secondary school is what the British call high school. This mayhem is happening in England." Hodge explained. Isabelle practiclly flew out of her seat.

"What?! You want us not only to pose as mundanes but to pose as mundanes in England!" Alec swore he saw smoke coming out of her ears and smirked.

"That is where this Warlock is." Hodge said calmly. "He - or she - is also posing as a mundane in the school and kidnapping innocent mundanes. We don't know why or what happens to them. We need you to find this Warlock and stop him." Hodge paused for a moment. "Or her."

"Why can't the London institute deal with it?" Izzy snapped.

"They have tried. Apparently, the Warlock is familiar with the Shadowhunters in the area and can see through their ruse. The head of that institute is my cousin so she asked for my help."

Izzy slowly sat down and huffed. It was Jace who spoke up. "Wait. So do you have any idea who this Warlock is?"

"No."

The silence in the room was eerie. All three young shadowhunters were staring at their tutor in disbelief. "And our parents are okay with this?" Inquired Alec.

Hodge looked almost offended. "Of Course. Would I be asking you to do this if they weren't? Your father is the head, after all." No-one had an answer to that. They were too stunned about the impossible task that was set infront of them. "Here." Said Hodge, taking Alec's arm. "This rune is a glamor to even downworlders. It will cover your runes. The Clave has kept it a secret for years but feel that you will need it for this task." He started drawing the rune on Alec's arm. "You cannot let the Warlock know what you are. Do you understand?"

The teenagers nodded in synchronisation, still too flustered to talk. Hodge took Isabelle's arm and drew the rune on her.

"You will be staying with a friend of mine while you are in England." He explained, while drawing it.

"How long will be there?" Izzy asked. Hodge drew the rune on Jace and frowned, thinking.

"I guess... as long as it takes you to find the Warlock."

Jace's eyes were as wide as saucepans. "But that could take forever!" He complained.

"Well, then..." Hodge grinned. "I hope you like the rain."

I know that wasn't that long but it was only the prologue not an actual chapter. But did you like it? Hate it? Should I carry on? Let me know. xx
