the shadowhunter blood runs strongly in her veins, and william might’ve even been proud of her for it, were it not constantly brandished in his direction like an unwieldy fire poker. instead, it only causes him a rather powerful and untimely headache that he knows will shift into a migraine if left untreated for too long. 

     ‘ so bossy. is it any wonder the residents of our institute always saddle you with me? ’     voice dropping to a whisper, his grin catches in the glint of moonlight sneaking through a putrescent curtain — at least, what remains of one. the air smells of dust and decades old blood spill. no doubt about it, this is a vampire nest.     ‘ are you sure he’s friendly? i’d rather not be walking into a well-established home for the friends and relatives of jack the ripper. oh there’s a thought. perhaps he’s a vampire too. ’

he trails behind her, hand resting casually upon the hilt of his seraph blade. an uneasiness creeps along his spine; the feeling of being watched.

it    was    a    dog    eat    dog    world.            everyone    clambering    atop    each    other    to    show    just    how    brilliant    they    are          ...          that    they    were    worthy.            for    women    it    was    just    as    hard,        just    to    be    taken    seriously    in    what    the    people    consider    to    be    a    male    dominated    field          ---          physical    sport    was    not    a    woman’s    game.            they    were    dainty,        fragile    beings          ...          with    bones    made    of    steel        &        a    soul    that    burnt    as    hot    as    the    sun.

smirk    played    upon    the    others    lips,        an    expulsion    of    air    that    could’ve    easily    been    mistaken    for    a    laugh.            what    fell    from    the    woman’s    mouth    sounded    awfully    like    a    challenge.
