Chapter 1

I looked out of the window as the plane landed at last. I stood up and got off of the death machine as I walked into the airport. Monroe, Louisiana was the only airport close to where my family lived. I looked around for people I knew but didn’t catch a sight of them. Great, this is just great. I headed over to the bag claim thing as I waited for my black suitcase.

I didn’t want to be who I was but when you are me you don’t have a choice. My name is Max Walker. Yeah I have a guy’s name but what ever. I’m only sixteen but I can do more than you could do in your whole life time. I had dark brown hair and the greenest eyes you have ever seen. I was short for my age but that helps me get around faster.

I looked around till I saw a guy that was taller than me but younger than me. I smiled as the brown hair almost black headed guy walked up to where I was at. I smiled as his brown eyes said it all. His name was Linus Night. He was like my brother for we are close in the group.

I stood there as he looked down at me. I smiled as we headed out of the crowded place. I saw that two dirt bikes were there. Mine was the blue one with green flames on it. His was the black one that looked like it came from the pit of fire itself. We looked at each other and jumped on them. I strapped my bag to the back and we were off. I loved the feeling of the air in my face but hate flying in the air.

I looked at Linus as he was behind me. I looked forward as the gang saw us. Please don’t follow us. I turned around to see five motorcycles following close behind us. Great now we got to figure this one out. I looked at I20 and saw that there were people everywhere. Okay so let lose them in the tarrific.

“Linus fast and moving,”I called as he knew what that meant for us to do.

“Let’s roll then,”He called as I kicked it up a gear.

We let the bikes go as fast as we could and zigged zagged in and out of cars. The good thing about being us no one can see us if we don’t want them to. I looked back as they were copying us. Okay let’s play hard ball. I took out my weapon. It was a sonic blaster that was my knife. I looked to my side as one of them got up to me as I took it out.

I started to knife fight the guy as I saw a double eighteen wheeler side by side with another one. I grinned at the guy and sped toward it. I slid right between it with ease as the other guy hit the outside of the one on the left. I laughed as Linus followed suit with me. Okay now only four of the puke brains to go.

“On your right,”Linus called to me.

I turned to face the nit wit as I saw Rayville come up. I grinned and took that exit. He followed me but I slowed the pace down for the curve as I had went back up the exit ramp to get back on I20. He didn’t and went on a one way trip back to where he came from. I looked at Linus as he was now ahead of me fighting two at once.

I pointed my knife at the one on his left and sent out a bright light. He disappeared that minute as the other two looked at me. I sped back up and locked my bike with Linus’s. I jumped over and landed on the back of the one to his right. I smiled as Linus finished him off. I drove the deathrider to the last one and sent it flying after him. I backflipped off landing on mine as it hit the other one.

“Not bad for your first day back,”Linus said as we exited off at Delhi,”The headmaster would be very please with that.”

“Yeah for he’s my dad,”I said.

We drove another five miles south till the countryside showed up. I looked out as the school was here. We rolled into the courtyard for the school was a five story building with little ones around it. It was home to me and I knew that dad would not be happy to see me back so soon.

I walked into the building with Linus since my mom made arrangement for me. I walked to the third floor and fifth door on the right from the elevator was the office. I opened it to see that dad was there looking at me ticked. I exhaled as Linus looked at me with pity. I sat my things down and took the seat in front of my dad.

“What are you doing here?”He asked as I looked at him.

“For I belong here now,”I said as he didn’t like that answer,”I know I failed one mission but I promise it won’t happen again. Even mom thinks that I can do it.”

“That’s not why,”He said sitting forward.

“Come on,”I said standing up,”Dad I need to be back in the game. I can’t just stand around while everyone else fights. I need to be here.”

“Still…”He said standing up to get closer to me.

I pulled out the dagger he gave me when I was five and stab the desk next to his hand. I peered into his blue-grey eyes as he looked at it. He knew I needed to be here but won’t freakin admit it.

“I gave you the right answer,”I said removing the knife,”Now where is my room.”

“You should know,”He said sitting down,”And next time if you stab at me I won’t be so nice.”

“Yes Mr. John Walker,”I said leaving,”It won’t happen again.”

I walked with Linus to my room as we laughed at what I just did. I walked into the same blue, black, green, and silver room I had since I was little. I threw my bag to the wall as it unpacked my things for me. I love the magic here. I looked around the place as I still had the same posters of heroes.

I was what you called a shadow saver. The people that were meant to stay dead well that's our job to make them stay there. We are not shadowhunters or the RIPD. We are simply magical beings that have to work harder than the next person to stay ahead. We watch after the earth to make sure it doesn’t go to heck.

Linus was a demon and on our side. He was like the main one here for he was the first. There are five demons. Linus though is also part human coolly. I think that makes him more unique. He also can shadow travel through anything he wants to.

My dad was a regular hero like a great one. He was the one that had a history of great fighters. He could make the elements do whatever he wants to. I could make it where people couldn’t see me but he had to act like they were insane about what happened.

I on the other hand was an angel of darkness. My mom was that and I got all of her cool powers. Dad though thinks that I need to be trained to fight off people like me. AS if I was the problem with all of this now. I was really a good kid but he saw me as a future threat. He cares for me but when it comes to the job and the world he takes it seriously. Meaning no pity to his own kid.

Those guys we fought earlier was really the people my mom use to work for. The first one that I got rid of was someone that use to be my friend. But he turned on me and tried to get me back on his side. I didn’t want that but to get the lost souls back home to where they belonged.

“You alright?”Linus asked as I saw that the shadows were coming up.

“Yeah I am,”I lied as he nodded.”I guess I’m just trying to get back use to this again.”

“Are you sure bout that?”He asked at the door.

“Yes Linus,”I said at the door as well,”I’m fine.”

He nodded as I closed the door and the room was cast into shadows. I hated it when I was being check up on like I was a little kid. I opened the window up to see the night sky coming up. I smiled as staying with my mom was a nice changed after every thing. I just wished he hadn’t done that to me.

I turned my back to the window as a note flew in and over to my bed. I walked over there and picked up the piece of paper. On the front of it was the nice and fancy writing of my mothers. I loved how she wrote everything. It was so elegant and perfect.

Dear Max,

Hello baby girl. I wanted to see if you are doing alright in the getting back use to everything. I know you just got off of your plane back and having you was fun. I miss my little girl. I know that you are going to be having some laps in the getting back to normal. But sweetie I want you to know that we are trying everything to help you out. Now have a good year and don’t get your father all rally up.

Love,

   Mommy.

Thanks mom. I looked out as I know that she was trying to find him again. Why can’t life be so much easier than it is now. I threw myself on the bed and took in a deep breath. I hate it when the world seems to be fighting against you instead of trying to help you.

I was suppose to be normal and not like this. I was suppose to be a fighter for good and not some toy that the sides can play. I was to be the good girl who nothing bad happened to. But NO I have to be right in the middle of the firing zone. I closed my eyes hoping for one night of a normalish stupid no good Life. That’s all I want right now.

Chapter 2

“Come on Max,”Nathan said to me,”We should be at our post by midnight by now.”

“You said that two days ago,”I said going up after him,”I told you we should have stopped following the death livers and should have went with what my dad said.”

“You don’t want to be the goody good forever,”He said taking my hand,”Plus we can get the best leads this way. Don’t you trust me Maxy.”

Nathan was his name. He was my best friend like Linus was. He was actually my boyfriend at this time of our lives. He was an angel of dark like me and we were
