I draw a night vision run on my forearm so I can see through the alleys for any bloodsuckers. It's about 8:00 and everyone is leaving restaurants and going into bars. But this time I'm the only person that is walking on the sidewalk.

I get the chills as I get closer to Hotel Dumont. I heard Jace talking about it one time but I've never seen it in person. The only way to get in there besides the front doors was the basement. I go through the alley to the back and I find the cellar door. Its locked. I draw an opening rune and I go in.

I grabbed my witch light from my jeans pocket as put my stele back in my boot. The whip in my arm began to recoil and fit it's handle in my hand. The electric field given off of it makes the hairs in my arm stand on end. I look left then right. Left. Right. Left. Right. Left- I see one of them.

It's a female with the size of a 15 year old body and the hair of a dolls. Blonde, long, and curls at the end. She has blood stained sleeves and torn up pants. Her hoodie looks like she rolled in horse poop and then took a bath in the Hudson River. She begins to speak.

"Why are you here Nephilim?" She said in a sinister yet mocking like voice.

"I'm here to find someone." I say grabbing my short seraph blade from the hilt on my side.

"And who is that?" She said with a pouty voice.

I just want to go over there and punch her right in the nose.

"A girl. Her name was Marlene? No. Molly? No....."

"Maureen?"

"Yeah. You know her?"

"Oh we are practically blood sisters."

"Where is she? Is she a stray?"

"Oh no she's head of the vampire clan."

"I thought it was Camille-"

"And do you see her here? No!"

I'm having suspicions but it's not good ones.

"I might know who you are."

"Really! Who?" He said sounding like a 5 year old.

"My boyfriends killer! AHH!"

I brought my whip aiming for her neck but she moves to the side at the last second. It skimmed her chest and it cut her hoodie on the front. Blood bean spilling out of where I hit it.

"You got blood on my favorite hoodie!"

She came at me claws up and snarling at me. She grabs my shoulders and takes me down. I try to push her off but she was strong. He knocks the whip out of my hand and skids to my right. She puts her mouth near my neck and he bites me.

I've been bitten but I've never been bitten with this much force. I'm on the ground twitching and blacking in and out. I see her get up and grabs my whip. She hits her hand and blood spills around it. She puts it over my mouth. I swallow her blood. I'm Turning. This can't be.

I move my legs under her feet as she got off balanced an fell. The whip is inches away from me. I grab it and I whip her in the chest multiple times. I lost count after 10 I noticed she wasn't moving. She's dead again.

I fall to my side and I see a man above me and Maureen. I can't tell who he is but he looks sort of like-

As we walk down the mossy, algae like stairs to get to the Lab, I noticed a bright orange,red like substance in the plastic coils running through vials. I look at Zachariah with concerned look.

"What is this stuff?." asked Alec.

"Its Jaces heavenly fire. Like it?" said Zachariah.

"Yeah but why do you need it?" continued Alec.

"For my army." said Zachariah with a sinister voice.

"What army and for what use?" I said.

"For the demon shadowhunters."

"Wait. I thought-"

"He was my slave. He did his job so I let him free."

That's why he was changing himself.

"So now I'm the head of the clan."

"Why do want this power? You were already immortal." said Alec.

"Well that my lad, is my problem. Now leave or I'll kill you both!"

"We are calling the Clave and the other Silent brothers." I Saod threatening.

"What Silent brothers?"

I just noticed. There was no Silent brothers at the door or roaming around the halls.

"You killed them." I said.

"Ah your just as smart as your great-great grandfather. Will Herondale."

-

I walk out of his room with a few tears. Enough to hide them from everyone else. I wipe my tears and walk to the bathroom. I close the door and I look in the mirror. My head is still bloody from when I hit my head. My clothes are all torn an bloody and so is my pants. I wash the blood and grime from my hands and face. I walk out and go to the spare room.

I knock on the door.

"Hey Izzy, can I come in?"

Silence.

"Isabelle let me in."

Nothing.

"Ok. I'm coming in."

I open the door to an empty room with sheets all over the bed and an open window. Isabelle escaped.

"Mom! Isabelle's gone!"

"What?" said mom, Maryese, and Robert at the same time.

"She might've gone and find Maureen."

"I hope she's all right." said Maryese.

"She's though. She'll be all-"

Robert stopped. His phone was ringing.

"Hello.....What?!?....Ok....your sister is somewhere......we will once we find her.....see ya there."

He hung up.

"It was Alec. He said we need to flee to Idris."

He got up and starts packing.

"Why? What happened?" said Maryese.

"Lets just say a Silent brother is out to destroy our race."
