My protectors?

Annabelle's pov:
There the boy with bright blue hair is now kneeling in front of the blonde one, begging for his life! How comes that no one other than me has noticed how he just got dragged away?
„Let's just kill him already. We have enough evidence and I want to go home!" a female voice says which frightens me even more. How many are there trying to kill a poor club goer?
„You can't just kill someone!" I try to sound strong and confident but I don't think I did a pretty good job with that. They all look at me as if only now noticing me. Maybe it really was a dumb idea to follow them. Now they definitely are going to kill me too!
„Wait!? You can see us?" asks yet another voice. The male stepping a bit closer to me. He is taller than the others and has dark brown nearly black hair. His eyes shining in confusion and uncertainty.
„Of course I can see you! What dumb question is that anyway!?" I ask slowly getting angry at the situation I put myself into.
„And I am going to call the cops now!" I threaten them which only makes them laugh out loud. How crazy are those people? Are they in a cult or something? Their tattoos do look like it! But which cult kills people for fun?
„Well, go ahed. It's not like the could do anything other than taking you to a mental hospital." the blond one says not even looking my way for a second. I stead he keeps his eyes on the blue haired boy that still keeps on begging for his life. I on the other hand try to figure out what he meant by that!? Why would they take me to a mental hospital? After all they are the ones killing innocent people!
„I am willing to test your theory! Because I won't let you guys kill an innocent boy!" I answer him with no doubt in my mind that I am meaning every word I say.
„Even if you kill him before they arrive, how are you going to explain the dead body?" I ask trying to reason with them. Maybe that's an option!? The only response to that however is some laughter yet again.
„There won't be any body left so there is nothing to worry about." the dark haired one reply's and takes another step closer towards me.
„Back off Lightwood!" Raphael suddenly growls out darkly from my side. The heck? Where did he come from now? This drink I sipped on seems to have been way to strong for me for sure!
„What are you doing Here daywalker?" the dark haired one asks obvious surprised that someone is taking my side in this discussion.
„None Of your business! And now I suggest you back off from her!" Raphael growls out even darker and louder than before. That seems to get even the blonds guy attention since he for the first time looks at me with interest. His studying look starts to give me the chills. What does he want and why the hell does he look at me so intensely!?
„Why? So you can drink her try? She after all is a mundane!" he questions my best friend for nearly five years. However his eyes never left my face which slowly starts to grow hot from all this unwanted attention.
„Raphael? What is going on here? Why do you know them? And what do they even mean?" I ask Raphael in hope to get at least some questions answered. He however only looks at me with this apologetic eyes of his.
„I promise I will explain everything later on, but now we need to go." he says with urgency. While he was talking the dark haired one along with the blonde one have gotten closer to us which frightens me quit a bit!
„Anni, do me a favor on grab your necklace really tightly. And don't let go of my hand." Raphael instructs. Not really getting why the hell i should grab my necklace for him, especially in a situation like that one. He however I my best friend and I do trust him to not hurt me. So i tighten my hold on his hand and grab my necklace with my other one.
„Now think of your place." he instructs further and more urgent since the two guys are now so close that they are able to touch us if they reach out their hands. So with one last fearful look towards them, i close my eyes and think of my home. When I can smell the familiar smell from home i reopen my eyes in astonishment. How did we get back to Luke's and i's apartment!? Was i only dreaming of was this all true? Raphael keeps on watching me like a hawk as I sit myself down on the really comfortable couch I talked my dad I to buying. He has told me how it is a dumb idea to spend so much money on a couch but only a few hours after we got it he was in love with it himself. The memory of him falling onto the couch for the first time and how he cuddled himself into the cushion before stating that this was his spot on the couch. A throat getting cleared sadly throws me out of my memory and back into the here and now where I am simply confused about pretty much everything!
„I called Luke and told him what has just happened. He is going to be here in no time and then we need to explain some things to you." Raphael says after taking a deep breath. He looks rather nervous about it. Why? I don't know!
„Just please try to stay open minded and don't push us away." he adds pretty quiet and sad, so I quickly pull him into a hug to reassure him that everything will be alright. But to be honest, i have no idea if there really is everything going to be alright. As Raphael has said a little earlier, Luke got here not long after their talk. He even brought Magnus along with him which only confuses me more.
„Alright, this surely is going to be a lot to take in, but you need to believe me that we only ever tried to protect you and to be there for you. We didn't know if you would change or not, or what you might become. So we kept a really big secret from you. Something that may sounds rather odd and unbelievable but I swear we are going to tell you the simple truth, so please listen." luke tells me after he had looked me all over to make sure I wasn't injured.
