3x11 Reaction / Commentary

So I haven't even started the episode and I'm already confused.

Why did Netflix put 3B in a separate folder? I mean, they didn't with 2B. What's the matter with that. Or is this just the German Netflix??

Smoooooothe move. Somewhere Derek Hale is smiling proudly.

Wtf why they so slow. I was half expecting this to be a simulation or sth because they took ages to arrive and then were walking super chill???

Seelie guy doesn't use this obvious distraction of the others to try and escape, since he knows he's just a minor character and shouldn't interfere.

Beautiful grieving sequence, especially Jace with the sketch of himself. I knew there would be a portrait of him in there before he even turned the page, I could feel it. I love how sensitive and therefore predictable the show is.

Ooooh nooooo Clary is still aliiiiiive, who whould have thought?!?!?! Okay sorry haha I had to.

lol didn't he look in a mirror recently and realize there's still no real resemblance? I mean, at least now he's not charred anymore, so I guess there's more resemblance than before, but you know what I mean. And I get it, this is supposed to be a parallelism to Lilith saying the same thing, but if memory serves right, at this point in time Jonathan was a) in a thick glass casket and b) dead so I'm wondering how he could have heard that.

wtf I'm getting sooo mixed signals from him. Does he want to give off creeper vibes or play house? Because he's kinda doing both?? Play Creeper House???

YEAH LITERALLY I WANT TO SEE THEIR HEATING BILLS

This...... doesn't sound as reassuring as it sounded in your head, Jonathan.

So, points for Clary for that ploy, but my heart is already pre-emptively breaking for Jonathan when he finds out she's playing him. The poor guy just wants family after being used and abused his whole life, man. Is that too much to ask.

More points for Clary for being sensible and grabbing a coat!!

“Clary, come on. You can't go out there. You're never gonna survive.”

Hahaha that had me laughing out loud. So Clary.

Okay, minus points for Clary for not actually wearing the coat. You had a winning streak of common sense but all good things must end, I guess.

Picturesque. But, uh, since Jonathan isn't following her she could slow down. And if she was a Slytherin, she would have waited til after breakfast with her daring escape.

LISTEN I LOVE THIS CASUAL DOMESTICITY

Also if you're more make-up versed than I am (which, admittedly, isn't very hard) and realized something was off about the way Magnus held that eyeliner stick (?) then check lynne-monstr's eyeliner salt club tag because it's hilarious. I also want to rec volunteer_of_hufflepuff's fic smile even though your heart is breaking because it's awesome.

...........................really. Really. That's how they want to play it? Ugh, okay. Ugh.

You know, I've had a whole lengthy extensive (dare I say exhaustive) rant ripening in my head since I saw this bit in the sneak peek but I'm just not in the mood, so let me cut it short: I get Simon's reaction emotionally, since losing Clary must be a horrible experience for him, but I'm still bitter about early 3A where blasting that werewolf across Taki's yard and knowing he might never walk again didn't bother Simon for one second. Repercussions should always matter, regardless of how close you are to the person affected.

Oh dear, she's still running. And her hair still looks like that?

Sure. Also

How can he keep up with her when he's walking and she's running? I mean he's not that much taller than her. Or does she run ten feet, pause to gasp and pant a little, runs again, stop and go, y'know? So on average she's just powerwalking.

Ok srsly I need to stop this nonsensical commentary.

Yeah and I guess he didn't notice the Clave-approved vampire-torture-sunlight construction Aldertree installed in this very same office (shown in 2x04 if you care to remember).

........who are you and what did you do to Alec Lightwood? You seriously want to tell me he'd consider not bringing up a violation of the Accords, and more importantly power abuse and torture, because of political reasons and he's “scared” to lose his standing with Jia? Please. He'd be enforcing Clave law. He'd be well within his right. We're talking about the guy who flat out refused to do the Inquisitor's bidding because it went against his moral code. Compared to that, this is a walk in the park. So. Please.

“I understand the kind of pain you're in, Jace.”

“No you don't. I'm sorry, you don't.”

“You're right...

Oh my god this isn't about Clary, or at least not for the most part. Jace is frikking traumatized because he wasn't in control of his body or his actions or his frakking mind for days. Btw I'm actually impressed and surprised they bothered to focus on anything but the Clary-Drama, namely Jace second-hand-killing like 33 people. And Imogen. And almost Alec. The way I see Jace he'll focus on his guilt, not the pain he feels over Clary's loss. Clary will be on his mind and that's one more thing to feel shitty about, because how can he be so selfish and think about his own pain when he brought so much more pain on other people? Jace has an incredibly intricately self-destructive mind and I love how it was portrayed here. Also loved the scene in general with some Izzy&Jace sibling feels, the tender way she talks to him, his kiss to her hand. But the focus (mainly because of Izzy) returning to Clary annoyed me a little.

And by the way, there is one person who can understand Jace. Alec. Because he was possessed by a demon and forced to kill someone, too. Granted, he doesn't have the memories of the action itself, but he saw it on tape. He blames himself because the demon fed off his own hate against Jocelyn. So I would really really love to see those two talking about it. I'm extremely thrilled to watch on and see if they do (but lol kinda hoping they don't because then I can finish writing my ficlet about it, which I sadly didn't manage to before 3B aired).

MY LIFE EXPECTANCY JUST INCREASED BY AT LEAST FIVE YEARS OKAY

Also what a damn badass nightlight, I want one as well even though I hate not to sleep in absolute darkness, that's how pretty this is.

HAHAHAHHAHHAHHAHAHA I C A N ' T

ALEC'S OFFENDED FACE AS IF THIS IS NEWS TO HIM

Wow I'm so glad they didn't forget about Iris. I was scared, not gonna lie.

Tbh I don't find Madzie's reaction that realistic. I mean, Valentine – the first person to talk to her after she got ripped from her normal life in her normal home – told her Clary got Iris into trouble. At some point they must have told her that Iris isn't coming back. But did they really tell her Iris was breeding warlocks? I highly doubt that. At most they told her Iris did some bad things. But, since they probably said the same thing about Valentine (and he was always “nice” to her) and told her Clary wasn't in fact evil, that kind of loses its meaning. And let's not forget, she is a child. A probably traumatized child, I might add, since Valentine used her to literally kill at least ten Shadowhunters that we see on screen, likely more. Her perception of what is right and what is wrong is easily swayed. And personally I think she neither really registered that Iris is supposed to be the bad guy now nor that living with Catarina / Magnus and Alec is sooooo much better than living with Iris ever was, so her having such a strong opposition against going with Iris seems unrealistic to me.

Love this. So good.

This is actually really beautiful

This is actually really dramatic for no reason and I'm soooo here for it.

Soooooo am I the only one wondering why the F Cat didn't put some wards on Magnus's place? I mean????? There is no explanation given for that, and frankly I can't come up with one. If not for Magnus, then Cat would at least put wards there while Madzie stays with him. Or....... do they want to imply Cat doesn't know that he lost his magic?? Hä?! If so, who the hell patched Alec back up from his neat little life-threatening arrow wound? Cuz I had assumed it was Cat. Since, y'know Jace pleaded with Magnus to help Alec, implying (to me at least) that an iratze alone wouldn't cut it this time. Except of course, if he asked because he didn't want to be bothered with taking out his stele and activating Alec's healing rune, but when Magnus refused because no magic he had no other choice.... and let's be real, the first scene of this episode heavily implies that a healing rune can cure just about anything in 0.3 seconds flat.

Alec wanting to bench Magnus makes no sense. Keeping him around and/or at the Institute makes more sense than, oh I don't know, telling him to stay in his loft where there are no wards. Wtf is logic anyway, right?

I liked this scene, don't get me wrong but... what's with the tough love? Alec isn't usually like that?? He's soft and firm reassurance, not aggressive and authoritative reassurance. Did he try that route before and it didn't work?? I need some answers.

“I had no idea.”

“How could you? You weren't there.”

“Me leaving had nothing to do with Simon. I just needed to be alone.

Okay, what, am I supposed to blame Maia now for needing time for and taking care of herself? She's so defensive as if her leaving was objectively wrong, and it wasn't.

“I guess when times get tough, some people need to be alone. And others need to be around other people.

Please, this is a dirty lie. Remind me again, who was it that pushed Alec away after he found out about her yin fen addiction, insisted she could handle it on her own, ran away and finally confiding in some random stranger she had just met? It wasn't Maia. Who stayed up late all night, disregarding her own emotions and rather tearing herself apart trying to fix the drama of her brothers than to mention to anyone she wasn't alright? Wasn't Maia either.

I feel strongly about this because this seems like a really cheap way to break up Saia and set up Sizzy and I don't like cheap things. I don't like Sizzy either, but my main demand is quality, not a certain content. I'll accept Sizzy if it's done correctly. But this isn't it. This is laying blame on a character who's not to blame, and making claims about another character that are plain untrue if you look at the last three seasons.

I've said it before, there would be good ways to break up Saia. For example their attitude to violence differs greatly from one another. Maia is trigger-happy and sees no harm in it, Simon is more or less pacifistic (at least when he's not having his I-don't-care-about-anything-but-my-gig-mood). Creating a conflict out of this would have been in character. Claiming Maia is somehow to blame because she wasn't there is not only unfair, but also invalidating all Maia has done for Simon before, and that was a lot. Putting up with her shitty ex, helping him search for Lilith, fighting her own pack so they don't bully him. She was about to have a face-off with the Seelie Queen – the very same creature that held her hostage not too long ago – just to be by his side. Is that all suddenly not worth anything anymore, just because she had the audacity to take a little time for herself, to sort through her own issues?

Seriously, he let her walk in that? No wonder she collapsed. Jonathan should have gotten her nice hiking boots.

EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS

CAN WE JUST.... CAN WE...... APPRECIATE.......... HOW HE BATS ALL HER MAGIC ATTACKS AWAY....... LIKE............ MAGNUS................ H O W

Btw if this is supposed to sway me and make me see that benching Magnus would have been the right call, then it's not working, because fine, let's assume Magnus had gone home. Then Iris would have had an even easier job to snatch him away, because a) no wards and b) no sword. And on top of that Alec wouldn't have had a way of knowing that Magnus was even taken, since I doubt Iris would have let Magnus call or text him.

Do you even know that? I'd like to see what you're willing to do after being tortured for ten years. Just saying. But fine. Stay there on your high horse.

Ohmygod I am stunned. I couldn't have written that summation any better and to be honest I had assumed the show would just blackpaint Jonathan as evil villain and be done with it. This is so much more than I expected. I am impressed. (And of course now I hope that there will be a redemption arc for Jonathan, but I'm afraid I'm setting myself up for heartbreak with this one.)

Do they intend to tell me that this whole place is warmed by the fireplace? Why not by a heater? Since the three billion lamps

imply there's electricity somewhere. Or was that line about firewood just Jonathan's way to exit the scene? Who knows.

“Ollie? Doesn't remember a thing. Praetor was good about getting her and Samantha relocated. New identities. They're safe now, like everyone else.”

I'm still high-key bitter about this. I love Ollie a great deal, okay, so this is a pretty disappointing solution to outsource her from the plot. Just let her forget all the shit so she doesn't have to deal with trauma. Guess she thinks now her mother died in an explosion caused by a gas leakage or something. I wonder what the mundane police has to say about that and how long it'll take them to find her, since, y'know, they have evidence against her and all that.

Edit: This doesn't actually make sense if you think about it. Did Ollie just get dropped into a witness protection program for no reason she can remember? Or does that “new identities” actually mean they have completely new identities because they don't remember ANYTHING from their old life?? I need answers.

I get it. This is supposed to make me see how rundown and wasted Luke is. But is he purposefully trying to make himself look like a confused hobo? I mean couldn't he like, prepare the notes he wanted to show Jace? It's like he's trying to reinforce to Jace he shouldn't listen to a thing Luke says because these are clearly the actions of a desperate man. Presentation is half the battle man, man.

Hah, badass. There's a reason I love him.

I totally dig Magnus in his kiddie clothes, but I also need a lot of answers because there's blood on his hands and bodies at his feet and this doesn't look like magic gone haywire, this looks like a massacre and I need answers. I wonder if they're gonna explain this flash or just let it sit there uncommented. (I hope they address it and I hope it has something to do with Asmodeus and their time together.)

Ugh do I honestly have to reiterate that parking Magnus in his ward-less loft wouldn't have helped? Also, he's a grown-ass man and can make decisions for himself, dammit.

Owning up to his mistakes unrestrainedly. There's a reason I have a soft spot for Raphael.

New York, huh? What a coincidence. Wouldn't want him to live somewhere else and have Maia burn through the other half of her paycheck to pay some warlock to portal them again, right?

Also, not to be controversial, but why don't they ask the Praetor first? Since they had a whole ass book on the mark of cain and everything. And figured out what it is. And getting rid of something so dangerous is basically their job. I mean. Just saying.

You know I always marvel at this. Just because he's old he knows shit? Is there really an age where knowledge pops into your head just because? Because I'm still waiting for that to happen to me, let me tell you. Just like being immortal somehow grants you immediate access to celebrities and the questionable honor to be in the midst of all historical events of the slightest relevance? Srsly if I was immortal I'd still be glued to my lappy and hate going out.

LOL give Iris a front row seat on how you smashed her XD XD XD

IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE

<3 <3 <3

This exchange thing is a ploy, and to be honest, a painfully obvious one. I find it really kinda hard to believe Iris falls for it. What I've been asking myself since this plot line started is, why didn't Iris have that idea herself? Like, I honestly expected her to use Magnus as a hostage and tell Alec he either hand over Madzie or she'll kill Magnus. Makes way more sense than her just trying to find Madzie herself and then what, try to break her out again? That didn't work last time, and since the warlocks are warned by Magnus's abduction it'd be even unlikelier to work now. I get it plot-wise since it'd be a little awkward if Iris out-blackmailed the Shadowhunters, but like. Seriously. What's the in-universe-explanation for this???

I don't know why, but Magnus looks super cute in this shot.

Five bucks say this is Izzy with a shapeshifting rune, and ISTG if this is actually Madzie then I can just shake my head at them.

Okay, I totally dig Lightwood siblings working together but. Why do you have to simultaneously hurt me with plot holes.

1) Where did they get Seelie Magic? Did they employ Meliorn? Srlsy. Also, the Seelie Magic at the beginning of the episode could move so why was Illusion!Madzie standing there like a display dummy? That was super suspicious.

2) Why didn't they use a shapeshifting rune? The illusion would have held longer, Izzy could have gotten closer and tied Iris up more easily, without Magnus getting smashed first. But, drama I guess.

3) Where the f is Catarina? Please. Her ward almost gets kidnapped and all she does is go “Oh shit, gotta relocate her to some other High Warlock lol.” Her best friend gets kidnapped and all she does is go “Oh shit, but whatever, here have a fake ransom note but don't think I'll move my ass from this super important Bitching and Drinking Conference. I payed like 200 bucks to get in.” Wtf. This is shitty ooc behavior from her. Wtf. She's either suuuuuper confident that Alec and Izzy will get Magnus back no problem, or she doesn't give a shit about him, and sorry, I don't believe either of those two options.

HAHAHA I'M SCREAMING LOOOOOL!!! Is this code for “We wanted to kill her but Lilith was quicker so we'll pretend we weren't even interested in killing her in the first place”? The Clave, man. Always good for a laugh.

No, dummy, this is their R&D Department.

I'm not even kidding, remember 2x04:

Oh the good old times.

This was. Really good. Really. I'm like, reeling. I feel like show writers read too many fanfics and therefore the Malec scenes this ep were exquisite. Magnus evasively running around and not liking his “powerlessness.” Alec there to reassure him with the sweetest of words. Their kiss, not to short, but hard and determined, with feeling. Top tier shit.

Wow, even though the words that left their mouths were reassuring and good it still feels like their relationship is suddenly dying. I wonder why that is? Oh, right. Because Sizzy, that's why.

I love.

Ooooh guess the residual electricity finally ran out. And I guess Clary turned all the candles off to match the mood? Also, since it was dark outside before and now isn't anymore.... was Jonathan out collecting firewood the entire night? That's dedication, man.

.......what a coincidence that their healing rune is in the exact same spot. On that note, I've been wondering.... if the ressurection resetted his skin to a state it hasn't been in for ten years, effectively un-charring it, shouldn't his runes have disappeared as well? Did he spend the “days” Clary was sleeping with putting runes all over himself?? On that note, why the hell did Clary have to sleep for days when Jonathan was the one who came back from the dead? All that Clary did was running at Simon in slow motion. I mean, I know what I would find more taxing.

I soooo appreciate the blood on her teeth. Such care for detail <3

Okay, so I realize that this makes Jonathan look like a fanatic, but I actually understand this scene like this: He's not an idiot. He knew Clary wasn't really going to give him a chance. But this, this is his chance, because now she has no choice but to stick with him and see for herself.

Btw if you're wondering why I'm so pro Jonathan, you can read the beginning of this post where I got out all of my Jonathan Feels. Basically, until I actually see him act intrinsically evil I refuse to believe all hope is lost for him. He did terrible things, yes, and he's aware of that, but the way I see it he did them because he wasn't ever presented with an alternate choice. And now that he has one, he's holding onto it tooth and nail. He wants to leave all the pointless violence behind.

I'm aware he's a sadistic psycho in the books, but this wouldn't be the first time the show gave a character a make-over (for the better) and so far the only compelling piece of evidence on the show in favor of Jonathan's demon blood causing him to be unsavably evil was Jocelyn's vision of him killing a flower as a baby, and it's not even clear if that was intentional. So excuse me if that's not enough for me to write him off.

Kid x Law - Fanfiction - Another world - Part 1

"Oh, no, I'm sorry. Dr. Trafalgar left about two hours ago. " Kid stared at the nurse. Second by second, before he tried a smile. "Oh, right. Then I must have messed up something. " She smiled as well, before continuing to work. The redhead, on the other hand, just felt his heart throb. He had not confused anything. Slowly he pulled out his smartphone and looked at the message Law had sent him less than ten minutes ago. 'I'll be home late tonight. I have to work longer. Love you.' Laws Message was exactly as he remembered it. Only that it was obviously a lie. The redhead put away his smartphone and sat down on the patient benches. He was so pale that another nurse addressed him in passing, if everything was alright. Kid just nodded. Even if he felt that nothing was alright. Why did Law lie to him? And what about all those other nights when Law had to attend work or conferences? Was that just lying? But ... but why should Law lie to him ...? Except he ... No. No, Law would never cheat on him. But why else ... It was two o'clock tomorrow when Kid heard the key turn in the lock. He was lying in bed, but he had not slept for a second. No, he'd been waiting the whole time for Law to come home. Silently he listened as he went to the kitchen. Law drank something, ate leftovers from the dinner Kid had cooked for them hours before. After that, he took a shower and Kid closed his eyes. Law would never cheat on him. There was something different behind it. Certainly. At some point, the bed wiggled beside him and Kid opened his eyes again. The look of his golden eyes was scrutinizing and hurt. Well, at least until he saw Law's face. Then he sat up, startled. "Law! What happened to you?!" His eye was swollen, as if someone had sunk his fist into it. And those scratches ...! The redhead's fingers trembled with concern as he reached out and laid his hands on Laws cheek. He noticed only now the thick bandage, which was around his arm. God! Law smiled as he snuggled his face into his hands. "Oh, some drunk thought he could steal money from me. The police are taking care of him now. " Law kissed Kids palms before he leaned forward and cupped his face against his chest. A loud sigh escaped him and Kid wrapped his arms around his back. Kids heart was pounding wildly. "But I'm so glad I have you. What would I do without you ... " The words of the black-haired were infinitely quiet and Kid looked down at him. And why are you lying to me then ...? But he could not say it. Not now. Law needed him. Instead, he just hugged him tightly before his wounded face reappeared in front of his. Law smiled before kissing him so tenderly. Kid felt tears in his eyes as he returned that beautiful kiss. Longing, almost desperate. His boyfriend's fingers went over his eyes and he took the tears with him before he said softly: "But, but ... my sweetheart, I'm fine. I did not mean to scare you. These are just a few scratches. " No, that was more than just scratches...! But instead of saying just that, he just kissed him deeper, more pleadingly. He did not want anything in the world, except Law. Since this evening, Law came home every day later and later. On some nights he did not come home at all. He always wrote, apologized. Kid did not call the co-workers with whom he would prepare surgery or exchange research results. He knew that Law was not there. He knew it, because Law came home every day with more and more injuries. Injuries that he could not explain to him. Sometimes it was animals, sometimes an accident. Yesterday, Kid had not even asked, and Law was sitting on his lap. With those big, blue eyes that had apologized to him so much. "I love you. Never forget that, yeah? " In the meantime, the redhead no longer believed that Law was cheating on him. Very well, it was possible that he was in trouble. In serious trouble. Someone seemed to be ambushing and threatening them almost every day. And Law did not want to talk to him. Why... Maybe he was just worried about him? That Kid would get the same treatment? But Kid was much more worried about Law than about himself! He was the love of his life! He would do anything for him! The next week, Kid secretly took a vacation from work. He would find out what was bothering him so much. And he would help Law! Whether he wanted it or not! It was an early Monday morning when the redhead said goodbye to Law with a kiss. He walked out of the house and took his motorcycle. Supposedly to drive to work. But he only waited a few blocks away. He felt guilty in his actions. But Kid really did not know how to help himself anymore. So he secretly followed the car of his boyfriend. Where nothing exciting happened. He actually drove to the clinic and went to work. But that did not matter. Kid was passing the time drinking coffee and playing mobile games. He leaned against the shady tree in the clinic park and waited. The day passed and Law did not leave the hospital. When his shift was over, he even came out very punctually. Smiling as he reached the car and unlocked it. At the sight, Kid smiled again. What? Was today one of those days that Law would just go home? That... that would be great...! Kid got up and thought about going shopping. Then he would have an excuse why he was not home when Law came home. Then he would cook something really great for them...! Well, at least until Law looked at his smartphone. Kid could see from a distance how much his facial expression froze. For a few seconds, he saw Law typing on the phone. Did he call someone? Whereupon the question was clarified when Kid saw his number on the display. With that, Kids' mood dropped as much as Law's. He accepted the call . "Darling? Where are you right now?" I spy on you. Kid closed his eyes briefly, thinking of the lie he had just had in his head. "Hey sweetie. Just in front of the supermarket. I wanted to buy some things to cook us a great meal. Will you come home then? " He himself heard how pleading his words were at the end. Suddenly he did not want to find out why Law always came home so late. He just wanted to dine with him at home in all comfort. Was this so much asking ...? The redhead literally thought he heard Law swallow at the other end of the line. Painfully. "No... I .. a colleague got sick. I must step in for him. Kid... Kid I'm really sorry. We'll catch up, will we? " “It’s okay.” Law hung up. Kid watched him. Watching Law slap his hands over his face and then sit in the car with such a suffering facial expression that Kid suddenly felt certainty. Law needed his help. With impetus he sat down on his motorcycle and drove after Laws car. He would save him! With such a few criminals he would still cope easily! Kid was surprised which direction Law took. He drove outside the city in an area, which belonged more to the homeless or young people. Dilapidated houses bordered on a large forest area, which was an official hunting area. As the cars were getting fewer and fewer in that direction, Kid took more and more distance and parked well two blocks away when Law finally stopped at the edge of the forest. Securing his motorcycle well, because damn, he loved his sweetheart, and putting in the shelter of a bush, he realized in fright that he had lost sight of Law. In his black leathery jacket he ran to his car and looked around in all directions. Where had Law gone now? Above all, the sun had gone down and the red of the sky was turning into a slow black. If he lost him now, the whole action would have been in vain! Oh, there! On the edge of the forest, he saw the figure of his boyfriend disappear between the houses, which made him run after him. How was Law so fast? Christ, he had never seen him run so fast! When Kid arrived at the borders of the big fir trees, he saw signs hanging everywhere that the hunting area started here. Images of guns exacerbated his sudden discomfort, even if he went in the forest anyway. The trees were thick and the ground was thick with scrub. Still, Kid thought he heard voices. Laws...! He hid behind a high spruce and was amazed when he not only discovered Law. No, next to him was Laws sister with her boyfriend and his father. Huh? What kind of a strange conference was that? Ah, he could not hear anything! The darkness reached its greatest magnitude, even if none of the four were somehow impressed. No, Laws father raised his hand and... and... a ball of light appeared. Full of disbelief, Kid stared in the direction, rubbing his eyes. Wh- what? And yet she was there. A ball of pure light that lit up their faces. They all looked incredibly serious and exchanged words. Kid was still staring at the sphere of light. What kind of technique was that? The next moment, Law raised his hand and... his tattoo glowed. The one on the palm that he Law already possessed the day she got to know each other. With a snap of his fingers, he did something. At least Kid thought he was doing something. For the next moment, it was like a portal over them and they were gone. His mouth opened. Completely surprised and disbelieving Kid stared into the darkness. Huh... HÄ?! He had expected many things. But really not ... that! Whatever that was! Was he just dreaming? Maybe he was asleep. At least he did not want anything more than just going home. Kid dug out his smartphone and turned on his flashlight app before finding his way back out of the forest. What... he had not seriously seen a portal open. And much less, how it worked?! Besides... how far had he actually gone into the woods?! Between rage and fear, Kid grabbed his way as he struggled through the foliage, then sighed in relief as he finally freed himself. Whereby the relief got stuck in his throat. Here it was as dark as in the forest. No street lamps, no house lights. The city was a few streets away from this long abandoned area. Kid simply got involved with something that was nothing but sheer fear of death. Suddenly he felt like a deer with the rifle barrel of the hunter on his neck. Only away here! He ran with great strides past Laws car to his motorcycle. He heard shouting voices but ignored them. At least until he heard Lamy's (Laws sister) voice. "LAW! Danger!" Law?! His heart was racing like crazy, but he stopped. Lamy had sounded so frantic, so startled... and before Kid knew what he was doing, he ran in the direction of the voices. No! If something happened to Law, Kid would never forgive himself! No way! The redhead ran around the corner of one of the dilapidated houses and what he saw there would kill him in another situation. Law and Lamy faced a group of people. Well 12 people, Kid would say spontaneously. Law held a sword in his hand, which was larger than himself and Lamy two firearms. Was that a fight?! Above all, their apparent opponents did not look a bit impressed. One of them threw herself downright amused against the siblings, with nothing more than her bare hands. And... and she was so fast...! Kids eyes could not even follow ...! Whereby the mood changed suddenly, when Law cut off a man's head with his sword. The redhead clapped his hands over his mouth and his knees were shaky. Law had someone... murdered someone...! The person who had lost his head fell to dust... no corpse, just dust! Kid was dizzy from all the new impressions, the things that should never have happened...! And yet, Kid was scary again when he saw a woman rushing from behind at Law. He looked in a different direction and Lamy as well...! NO! The redhead ran forward. As fast as if his own life depended on it. Kid threw himself on the woman. Her hand had been only inches from Laws collar. Kid had served in the military for two years. With a sudden intuition, Kid remembered his education and began to put the woman in the grip. His arm to her throat and squeeze. Even if his eyes fell on Law. Law, who looked at him with pure horror in his eyes. "... Kid ...?! No!" Law stormed in his direction and Kid noticed a second later why. The woman did not choke. She was not looking for air. She stood up and grabbed him by the upper arm as if he were as light as a straw doll. She then opened her mouth and hissed at him. A hiss... came to light with the two long fangs. Fangs like a... vampire. That thought was stupid. Just stupid. And yet, Kid had never screamed more loudly than ever before. The woman flung him away with one hand. Kid landed on the stony ground and felt his skin rip. Even when the force of the impact turned everything around in him and turned his world into a blurry, shaky mess. "Law... Law..." Groaning he called his name, worried about him... but Kid had at least two broken bones and he was feeling sick and dizzy. The next moment he was picked up by the collar again and looked into the eyes of a pale man who had almost completely black eyes. He grinned, broad and angry. "That's him , witch? Your little one? No wonder we could not find him! Who would have thought that your lover is just a worthless human! " A laugh escaped from his mouth and Kid raised his fists. He tried to beat him. But the pale man just laughed louder. "Oh, witch. This will hurt you, and especially your little one very badly. But remember, that's the punishment for you to interfere in our affairs!" Did he speak with Law ...? Witch...? Kid was confused, but more than anything he was scared. Especially when he noticed how the stranger opened his mouth and also exposed two long fangs. Law yelled his name. Loud, desperate! But Kid just watched with wide eyes as the man tore open his own fingertip. Black blood ran down. Kid screamed Law’s name. Kid had come to safe him... now Kid had to be saved! But Law failed. There were only those black eyes as the man pressed the tip of his finger into the wound of Kids arm, which he had torn open during the fall. It did not take a few seconds for Kid to feel a pain that made him scream. He screamed and topped with pain, screaming and shouting, before the gracious powerlessness enveloped him. His vision became black. Music. Droning music. Kids eyes were closed, but his slowly awakening mind was filled with music. The footsteps of many people, voices, screams... a nightclub...? Slowly Kid opened his eyes, then pinched them again. The light blinded him so much that his eyes started to scream and, yet he sat up. Kid was dizzy. At the same time he filled himself in infatuation. Colored lights danced behind his eyelids. Drugs. He felt like he was under drugs. "Well, did the princess wake up? Welcome! Welcome, in your new world!" A laughing voice greeted him and Kid recognized it. It was the man from the forest. The one with black eyes and black blood. Kid had to be scared. But he wasn’t. No. His brain mass seemed to dance with the quivering music. He also wobbled a bit while sitting. Whereupon a laugh sounded. "Don’t worry, all newbies feel that way. It will be over in a few hours. But feeling a few hours strange is nothing against the gift of immortality. " Kid did not really understand what the man wanted to tell him, but he did not really care. Slowly he managed to open his eyes and found himself lying on the floor. Pretty in the middle of a room that looked like the VIP launch of a club. Two wide leather sofas and several large, upholstered chairs were aligned to a small bar. Kids fingers almost felt enchanted by how soft the carpet was under him. On the couch in front of him sat the man with the black eyes. Two very lightly dressed women pressed against him. One of them drank a red cocktail that smelled wonderful and the other kissed the man's neck, showing her long fangs. Another one of those ... Kid almost opened his mouth like in a dream and let his tongue wander around. And it was struck by these sharp teeth, which had not been there before. He opened his mouth and embraced them with his fingers. A moment later he pulled on them. Ah! That hurt! Now was the moment Kid wanted to panic. But the only thing his brain could do was keep his fingers moving in rhythm with the new teeth. "Oh yes, they are real. And careful. You have a little more strength than before. Not that you rip them off. It hurts a lot when they regrow. " You could hear the amusement from his voice. But Kid thought of something else. Something that made him suddenly startled despite his intoxication. With wide eyes he looked to the man and breathed only croaking: "Where is Law?” Whereupon the man laughed. But not alone anymore. The redhead's gaze wandered around the room, and he did register the various men and women in the room. Not many, just a few. But they all had that fragrance. A sweet, fruity fragrance. And without opening their mouth, Kid knew they all had the same long teeth. "Oh, your witch is fine. We left yesterday after we picked you up. But I doubt he wants you anymore. " What...? Why should not Law want him anymore...? And... yesterday ...? Kid looked at it confusedly, feeling a sudden sadness that made him waver seated. What was going on here...? "Nonsense..." Where was Law? He wanted Law to pick him up. He was drunk. Badly drunk. He wanted to go home. The voice of the man sounded and suddenly his hand grabbed him. Within half a second he was on his feet, only to be pushed into the soft couch. Kid looked at the man who grinned at him before he even offered him a cocktail like his playmate had just drunk. "Drink. Then you feel better immediately. By the way, you can call me Lucio. " The man sat down again between the women and Kid looked after him. "I’m Kid." He softly called his name while looking at the contents of the cocktail. A reddish, thick liquid. With a wonderful smell. A light gasp came over his lips. Wow. It smelled so good. He had never smelled such a good thing ...! "Oh, the first sip of blood... remember Anastasia...? That was very special...! " The woman, who had now sat down on Lucio's lap, spoke her words and smiled downright at the second woman, who then dumped her cocktail all at once. "It is always special.” Blood...? He would not drink blood! With a look of transfigured horror, Kid put the glass away and stood swaying. "I go. I want to go home." At his words, a collective laugh sounded. Kid headed for the door. "You can do whatever you want. If you survive the next day, you're welcoming to come back. You belong to our club now, I would say. Oh, and make sure you have a roof over your head before the sun comes up. " More laughter sounded, which Kid carefully ignored. He did not want to belong. His interest in nightclubs had dropped sharply after he got into solid hands. And he would not fall asleep on any park bench. Indeed. When he opened the door, he was on the top floor of a club. Many dancing people pressed together and moved in time. It was terribly loud. The colors too bright. It was like a struggle to move through all the people, with so many of them smelling sweet. As sweet as he smelled. And the others... the others smelled so... so delicious! ...he wanted to get out of here...! It seemed like ages, but then he was in the cool air. The doormen glanced at him and Kid thought he saw a slightly mocking smile. But right now he also believed he saw many things. Actually, it was night, right? Why could he still see everything anyway...? It was all very greyish, but he could see as daylight. Even better. ...drugs... they had really given him drugs ... Kid staggered through the streets. He did not recognize anything. He could not tell if it was because he had never been here, or because his eyes were so different. So sharp, so clean, so far. Surely his head would have hurt him in another situation. The redhead did not know how long he was treading through the streets before realizing that he could not find his way home. Despair spread in him. He wanted it to stop...! Law was a doctor, this could certainly give him something against the effects of... whatever...! Law ... God, he was stupid! Killed by his own thoughtlessness, Kid sat down on the curb and pulled out his smartphone. His gaze wavered and yet he managed to choose his number. Like his last lifeline, he clung to his smartphone. It was not a few seconds before Law took off.
