Caleb Black jumped down from the second story boarded-up window and landed in a crouch on the dirty street. He hadn't quite figured out why the clan hadn't moved to somewhere nicer, or why he himself hadn't just left the clan. Yet, here he was, staying in this place day after day. Probably because he had nowhere else to go. He pulled his hood up over the baseball cap he wore and tucked his hands into the pockets of his hoodie, then started down the street. It was the new moon, and the only light on the street came from the stars and the lights from other, far away parts of the city. Here, it was dark and silent. Just the way he liked it.

Jo's feet carried her quickly down the empty street. The echos of chasing steps became distant as she moved forward. Jo wanted to practice but with real demons and she wasn't prepared for an ambush. Jo thoughts of how obvious the signs were of an ambush and how she missed it that she hadn't seen the boy in front of her and bumped into his arm. "Sorry!" Jo yelled slowing her pace to look back at him and then she tripped. 'Smooth' Jo thought, standing back up and dusting off her jeans.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Caleb might have grabbed her and prevented her from falling if he hadn't been so utterly surprised. He blinked in confusion, wondering how this girl had come out of nowhere. Had he been so lost in his own thoughts? "It's okay," he told her in that soft, smooth voice of his. "I wasn't expecting to see anyone out here at this time."

[alpha]

Jo gave a slight smile, "so you can see me! Oh, your about to see some more." Jo pulled out a folded bow from her back pocket, she unfolded it and jogged back over to the boy she had just ran into. "You should hide." Jo said as the foot steps echoed up the street. Jo watched as three demons, two male and one female stepped into the light under a street pole. They stopped and stared at Jo then their eyes darted towards the boy next her. Jo looked over at him and took a step away, "You don't happen to be a um- um Demon?"

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Caleb's brow furrowed. "What's going on here?" he said cautiously. Were the three in front of him demons?

[alpha]

Jo pulled out an arrow and shot at one of the demons, who caught it. "I'm kinda rusty... you should go." Jo folded up her bow, "Screw it." She cursed and pulled out a dagger. One of the demons moved towards Jo. Jo took a deep breath, this is what she has been waiting for, a good fight. Jo ran at the demon, she could see it's eyes and feel the breathing. Jo backed up, "Wait your actually living..."

Jo had been taught to kill, these are demons they will kill you first but never has she taught that they were like humans, living, breathing being. Jo squeezed her dagger then looked back at the boy, cursing silently Jo dodged a few punches from the demon then ran back to the boy and pushed him to run. "We need to go!" Jo looked back at the three confused demons.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

Caleb made a quick decision. He should have run to save himself, but instead he grabbed Jo and swung her into his arms. He took off, moving with the speed only a vampire possesses, leaving the demons far behind. They tried to chase, but even they couldn't keep up with him.

[alpha]

Jo yelped in surprise when Caleb picked her up and as soon as he started to run fast- more like sonic speed, she knew what he was. "Your a vampire!" Jo cried, what did she just get herself into. Jo had never met a vampire, let alone be saved by one. Jo tried to keep her cool, 'Just act natural' Jo took a few deep breaths and looked back at the demons who fell way behind quickly, she then closed her eyes tight.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

When they were well away from the demons, far enough that they wouldn't be able to track them, Caleb stopped in a back alley and set Jo on her feet. "Are you okay?" he asked, eyeing her somewhat worriedly. She looked a little on edge.

[alpha]

"Yea." Jo nodded, she didn't have much experience with vampires, so she didn't why he helped her. "Why did you help me? I mean- Actually that is what I mean." Jo struggled to ask him.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

(Lol. 'Actually that is what I mean.' I don't know why but I found that line funny)

"Should I not have?" Caleb asked her, watching her with his dark eyes. "I could have left you to die."

[alpha]

(Haha I started to write it and was like perfect <3 )

Jo stared back at him, "I don't kno- Thanks." Jo couldn't figure out this guy. "So you'r a friendly vampire then?" Jo relaxed a little, 'Be nice!' Jo scolded herself.

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

"Friendly?" Caleb repeated. "Not really. It just didn't feel right leaving you behind."

[alpha]

"I wouldn't have left you either but if you weren't a vampire we both would have died, so thanks again. Oh! My name is Jo and I am a shadowhunter!" Jo smiled doing a pose, 'I feel stupid now...'

[ᴄʀʏsᴛᴀʟғʀᴏsᴛ]

A small, rare smile twitched onto Caleb's lips. "Nice to meet you, Jo. I'm Caleb. I wasn't expecting to meet anyone out there. What were you doing in that part of the city so late?"

[alpha]

"Practice... well first time actually. You see where I live no one can practice with me." Jo began 'Well honestly they don't want to' Jo sighed aloud, "anyways to sum it up, I can't do it." Jo smiled hiding her disappointment in herself, "What about you, Caleb?" Jo changed the subject quickly.
