A LOST LOVE FOUND • alec lightwood [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER SEVEN

The wicked grin on my face never left its place as I listened to screams the demon that I was killing. A cold laugh left my lips when I watch the dust from the demon's remains hit the ground. I used my super-Reaper hearing to listen to the other demons as they ran away from me. They couldn't teleport or use any of their demon powers - another Reaper power: I could immobilize a demon's power. I haven't tried it with other downworlders yet; demons have more energy and more energy equals more power for me.

When I heard the sound of thundering footsteps and I used my sense of smell to confirm that it was the demons that I was hunting, I activated my invisibility rune and started to run after the demon. I loved the chase, it is exhilarating and thrilling. It didn't take long for me to spot the demon and I used my telekinesis to throw him into an alley that he was running past. By the time I reached the alley, the demon was quivering in fear.

"Please, don't do this." He begged and a cold laugh left my lips.

"Did you stop when that woman begged you to?" I snarled, making him flinch. My eyes shot to my hair line as I saw tears starting to fall from his eyes. You see, this was how I started to hunt the three demons. They were trying to kill a mundane for her blood. Now, I don't care about the mundane or anything else but I do care about my secret staying safe. And although mundanes are naïve, they are not stupid.

I didn't even give the demon chance to say anything else before I stretched out my hand and started absorbing his energy. With power buzzing through my blood, I made my way to the small restaurant that I have been eating at for the last seven nights. It didn't take long for the preppy mundane waitress to make her way to me, the one that talked to me while I sat here. "The usual?" She asked and I nodded unemotionally. Another effect for the Reaper side was that I couldn't smile, I could smirk but that's it.

It has been a week exactly since I jumped out of that warehouse and left my family behind. With each day that passed, I felt more freedom than anything else. And, yes, I still remember my family and Alec for those who were wondering. The waitress, Aria I think her name is, placed my cup of coffee in front of me and I took a quick glance at the name tag only to see that I was right. But what caught my attention was the blush on her cheeks.

"So, what hot guy did you spot now?" I asked, knowing that if I didn't, she'd pout and then start ranting about me not paying attention to her. Then she'd start to rant about what ever hot she spotted. She could never understand why I didn't think that any of the guys was hot. One could learn in a lot in a week but that particular conversation was one we had on the third day. I also told her that I'm not interested and even if I was, blonde hair and blue eyes was not my type. Try, raven hair and hazel eyes. Stranger, eh?

"I'm not telling you." Aria told me sternly.

"Why?" I asked with furrowed eyebrows.

"Because," She spluttered. "They take one look at you and they're goners. You are beautiful and you've got a rocking body. But you don't do anything about it." She frowned as if that confused her greatly.

"I told you-"

"You're not interested. Yeah, yeah, I know." The waitress said with a wave of her hand and a roll of her eyes. She looked up and froze as she spotted something behind me. Her jaw went slack and her eyes unimaginably wide. I was about turn around when a voice rang out behind me, freezing me in my spot.

"And for good reason, she's married." Like a tidal wave, my emotions came back and hit me full force at the sound of that voice. His voice. Regret. Pain. Hurt. Love. Tears filled my eyes but I wouldn't let them fall. Too afraid that this was a really nasty dream that I would wake up from any moment.
