Chapter 1: The Incident

"Honestly Jace, I don't know why I agreed to go to this club with you."Said Sarah Lewis.

"You agreed because I offered to help you find a boyfriend." Jace, Sarah's best friend, said.

"No, I'm pretty sure you forced me to come."

Sarah and Jace were waiting in the line to enter Pandemonium.

"You're not serious, are you kid?" Asked the bouncer.

"Please!"

"What are you wearing?"

"I'm a vampire slayer! It's part of my costume." Said the boy who was holding up the line.

"Alright, just go!"

The bouncer let in a girl with purple hair after the blue haired boy. Sarah and Jace were nearly at the front. Three people, probably near Jace's age, went up to the bouncer.

Once was a short girl with fiery red hair. Another was a tall black haired girl and an even taller black haired boy with very blue eyes.

The black haired twins were in front of the redhead, she looked like she was searching for something in her pockets.

"Alec. Izzy." Said the bouncer.

"Can ya let us in?" Said the black haired girl, which Jace presumed was Izzy. She was wearing a white high front low back dress.

"Sure thing." He let them in.

"How's it going, Ray?" Said the cute redhead who looked like she found whatever it was she needed. She was wearing a mini, tight black dress with black high heels and a black leather jacket rolled up at the sleeves. She looked hot.

"Hey Little Red." He patted her head, ruffling her red curls. He unhooked the red rope for her.

Before the redhead entered, she glanced at Jace. With a wink at him and a seductive smile, she went through the door and up to the club.

Jace and Sarah finally got into Pandemonium. The music was ear piercing loud and the strobe lights blindingly bright whenever they shone on you. Jace and Sarah were being bumped by dancing bodies.

"You liked that girl, didn't you?" Said Sarah in Jace's ear.

"Who? The redhead?"

"What redhead? That girl with the purple hair behind the vampire slayer costume guy. In her defense, she was pretty." Sarah said.

"I think the redhead looked really bad ass. She was way hotter." Jace replied.

"But there wasn't a redhead near the line."

Jace had a shocked expression but, thankfully, Sarah didn't notice.

"Well, this is fun." She commented, her voice laced with sarcasm.

Then he saw them again. The black haired girl and the redhead with the taller boy by the railings.

Jace followed the black haired girl's gaze. It fell on the guy with the vampire slayer costume. She tilted her head towards a door reading "NO ENTRY. EMPLOYEES ONLY."

The girl slipped into the room and the boy followed.

Jace thought that sort of thing was normal. Until her companions were holding swords and daggers entered the room after them.

There was a girl with black hair in a lacy white high front low back dress looking at him. She was beautiful, innocent-looking and it would be a pleasure to kill her.

She moved towards a door saying 'NO ENTRY. EMPLOYEES ONLY.' Well, it's better to kill her in privacy. Though the demon boy.

The entered the storage room.

"What's your name?" Asked the demon.

"Isabelle." Said the black haired beauty.

"That's a nice name. I haven't seen you here before."

She giggled. "Are you asking if I come here often?"

Jace left Sarah saying he'd be right back. He went into the storage room.

At first there was no one there.

Then a girl spoke. "-If I come here often?"

Jace immediately hid behind a cupboard with all the old lights that weren't in use anymore. The storage room was pretty big. Jace also realized the short redhead and taller boy from earlier were nowhere to be seen.

He heard the black haired girl giggle.

The boy had her pinned to the wall. Jace saw the strange boy pull down one of her sleeves. The boy backed away and Jace saw a black marking on her shoulder.

"What the-" The boy didn't finish his sentence because the girl, with lightning speed, pulled out a shining whip and attacked the boy.

After only ten seconds, the boy was tied up by the whip against a pillar. The girl smiled wickedly.

"He's all yours." She said and two other people appeared in his line of vision.

It was that redheaded girl, she had beautiful emerald eyes. She was paler than the other girl and had freckles spread across her cheeks.

Jace saw that she had a dagger and seemed to be inspecting its sharp edges.

"How many more of your kind is here?" The redhead asked.

The blue haired boy on the floor felt blood welling up under the too-tight blessed metal, making his wrists slippery. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Oh, I think you do." The redhead smirked.

"If you're looking for people, this club is full of them." He replied.

The redhead crouched in front of the blue haired boy. "We aren't looking for humans! We're looking for demons. Like yourself." The girl rolled her eyes.

"I still don't know what you're talking about." He said stubbornly.

"Come one!" The dark haired boy spoke. "You know what a demon is, don't you?" He was getting annoyed.

"Demons," The redhead started. "Religiously defined as Hell's denizens, the servants of Satan, but here, for the purpose of the Clave, to be any malevolent spirit whose origin is outside our home dimension –"

"That's enough, Clary." Said the other girl. So the redhead's called Clary, Jace thought, nice name.

"Isabelle's right," agreed the taller dark haired boy. "Nobody needs a lesson in semantics –or demonology." He added.

"Isabelle and Alec, here, think I talk too much." Clary said faking innocence. That gives them all a name, Jace thought. "What do you think?" Clary stood up and put the blade to the blue haired boy's throat.

"I could give you information." The boy gulped.

"Oh, stupid demons, always trying to save your pathetic live by giving out information that we probably already know. You know we will kill you anyways." Clary smiled as if the thought of killing things entertained her. It probably did. "That reminds me, you do know what we are, don't you?"

"Shadowhunters." He spat.

"Good. Sometimes you demons are slow with all this."

"Please, Valentine is back! All the infernal worlds know it and he has a powerful weapon! I know where he is!"

"Clary—" Started Isabelle.

"I don't think we've met. Clarissa Morgenstern. Why is it that all you demons claim a dead man is back? Especially a man who is no use to your kind. I know where my father is. He's burning in Hell. And you can join him there. Tell him his beloved daughter sent you." Clary was about to stab the boy when…

"Stop!" Jace couldn't take it anymore.

"Why should I?" She sounded annoyed.

"Well, because you can't kill another human being." Jace replied walking closer to them so they could see him.

"You're right. I can't kill a human being. But this," Clary indicated to the boy on the floor with disgust. "Is not a human being."

"Well, I'm sorry, I wasn't aware they were training mockingbirds to disguise themselves as people." Jace saw a flash of amusement in Clary's eyes before the glare returned.

"Look, Goldie, just go home and let—" She was cut off mid-sentence. The blue haired boy had freed himself and pounced on Clary. Then they fell to the ground and the guy slashed at Clary. Jace tried to move but he was frozen to the spot.

Clary had rolled over and she was on her back. The guy was now slashing at her stomach. Blood darkened the black fabric of her mini dress. Jace heard her grunting a d wincing as she was struggling to make the boy stop.

He saw the glint of a whip extend and the guy with blue hair was hit and fell to his side.

Clary took this advantage, she stood up and plunged a blade into the boy. Black liquid exploded from the boy and he started to spasm in weird ways. She pulled the blade out and seemed oblivious to her wounds. There were scratches on her forearms where her leather jacket was rolled up, on the stomach, the fabric of her dress that covered her stomach was torn and she had slashes on her mid thighs.

The blue haired boy glared at Alec, Isabelle and Clary. "So be it. The Forsaken will take you all!" He hissed.

"Ugh. Forsaken." Clary said.

No one else spoke. They all watched as the boy shook before he folded in on himself.

Jace started to run to get security but he felt something wrap around his legs making him fall to the ground. He was dragged back towards the crazy trio. He turned on his back and saw Isabelle pulling him towards her with her whip.

"Look, I know I'm a great catch and all but—"

"You stupid Mundie! You could have gotten Clary killed!" She hissed.

Jace looked over at the redhead who was being supported by Alec. She was still bleeding.

"You're blaming ME?! I just watched her kill some guy who then disappeared. My dad's a cop. When the police—"

"The police aren't going to arrest someone they can't see, now are they?" Clary said weakly. "Especially when there's no body or evidence to prove it." The poor thing looked like she was about to faint.

Jace glances at the spot where the blue haired boy wav. Nothing. Not even a smear of blood. Not even Clary's blood.

"They go back to their home dimensions when they die." Clary informed him.

"What do you mean they can't see you?"

"I know you're blonde and all, but you don't have to act like the stereotypical blonde." She smirked at his glare. "We can't be seen by mundies because we can glamour ourselves making us invisible to their oblivious minds."

"Careful, Clary!" Alec whispered in her ear. He looked at her like there was something going on between them but Clary didn't have that expression on her face. Ooh, you've been friend zoned, dude. Jace thought and smirked.

"He can see us Alec! He already knows more than he should."

"So what do we do with him? He might go babbling." Isabelle said.

"Let him go." Clary said. Isabelle looked outraged but didn't argue. Small as she was, Clary was clearly the leader here.

The feeling of the tight whip on his ankles disappeared. He stayed on the floor since his ankles still felt sore.

"Maybe we should bring him to Hodge. He might have something to say about him." Alec said.

"We are not bringing a mundie into the Institute." Said Isabelle with a hint of annoyance.

"Is he a mundie?" Questioned Clary. "Goldie, have you ever encountered anything… abnormal? Met people with strange eyes? People with multicolored skin? Or maybe even people with fur—"

"My name is Jace Herondale, not Goldie, for your information. And no, the only strange people I've met is a nosy redhead and creepy twins and a blue haired guy who's a freaking illusionist! So—"

"Jace?" Called a familiar voice. "What are you doing on the ground?"

Jace looked at Sarah then at Clary. She stifled a giggle. Sarah looked oblivious to the three crazy people.

"I thought the ground felt lonely and could use a hug."

"You owe me!" Sarah said.

"What? Why?"

"You force me to go with you then you ditch me!"

"I'm sorry!" He apologized though not really meaning it. I saw a hot girl kill someone. Jace thought as he hailed a cab and got in.

So, here's the first chapter. Tell me what you think of it :)

See ya soon ~ Liz Ashley xxx
