"You know, I think it would have been quicker to kidnap Magnus."
Alysha grumbled as she and Luci tiptoed around the institute.

They'd already had the one where Alysha had thrown a hissy because she couldn't open the institute door, spitting something about how ironically Nyx would be able to. Luci hadn't really paid attention, instead stunning Alysha to silence by opening the door herself.

So, the faerie girl was part shadowhunter. Interesting.

Alysha lead the way, moving erratically as she glance-scanned each room. "Nyx should have accepted the offer of training." She muttered angrily. "I'd know where it was by now. Heck, she should have just gone with Morgenstern, I'd probably not be in this situation right now."

Luci eyed her warily, not sure if Alysha was talking to her or herself.

Probably herself. She was that kind of person.

Suddenly, Alysha yanked her flat against the wall, shushing her quietly.
A second later, they heard voices and footsteps coming down the hall.
Alysha tentatively peered around the corner.
There, she recognised Alec and Julianna in conversation, although she couldn't hear what they were saying.
Minutes passed, Luci began to grow nervous that by lingering to long, they had more chance of being caught. And she really didn't want to get in trouble with the Shadowhunters, not at this stage in the game.
Then again, she technically wasn't here of her own free will, so it's not like they could blame her...

Alysha was stone still, only the slight rise and fall of her chest indicating that she hadn't been petrified to the spot. She didn't move, didn't twitch, didn't even blink, just watched, her gaze boring into the figures before her.

Finally, with a smile, Julianna broke away from the conversation, striding off down the hall towards them, Alec going the other way.

A cruel smile curled on Alysha's lips, and Luci could only feel both dread and excitement at it's appearance.

Like a streak of lighting, Alysha lunged out, snatching Julianna's arm and dragging her up against the wall. "Don't struggle, I have a gun."

Julianna headbutted Alysha in the nose, sending her stumbling back with a bone-crunching crack!

Good? Bad? Exciting?

Alysha just seems to have decided to fight everyone, which should definitely make for some interesting events!
