Kit and his Girl friend (3 years after TDA)

(It's just a preview, stay tuned for more. A lot more. A complete story.)

If it weren't for Church, Jem's demonic cat, Kit might be dead. It was Friday night, Jem and Tessa had left for their date night and Mina was already asleep. Kit was watching some new series on television about demons that was incredibly inaccurate which made him laugh when Holly appeared with an expression that was going to kill someone. There were days when she got incredibly angry and ranted for hours about the arrogance of the privileged, which basically meant straight white men. Kit smiled every time she finished a sentence like "except you, of course." It was stupid to try to interrupt her, she just wanted to talk. Besides, he understood that it wasn't his place of speech. He just let her talk and scream until the anger wore off, which usually ended with them making out. On other days, they would just watch a movie or she would “help” in his Shadowhunter training. That night, her hair was down in a mess of curls. She wore high-waisted beige joggers with a black “fuck captain american” blouse that made him frown.

— Do you hate captain america or do you want to fuck him? — Kit asked in an amused tone.

— He's a white American soldier. she said casually. — Couldn't be more stereotyped."

— So both?

— Sure. He is hot.

Kit laughed.

— Is that you? Would you have sex with captain america? — she asked.

— I think the most obvious question is whether he would be interested.

— True, he's definitely the 'I support LGBT causes, but I'm 100% straight' type

— Do you want something to eat? There's still pizza. — Holly turned to Kit with an expression that made her whole body tremble. — Or we can just go upstairs. — Holly's gaze wavered and she flopped onto the couch.

— We have a problem.

— Clearly I don't think I'm as hot as Chris Evans.

— No one is. — she sighed. He plopped down on the couch next to her trying to control her instincts, which was hard because she looked beautiful in those clothes. In fact, Holly was beautiful no matter what. After high school graduation, Kit had trouble concentrating for a week because of the red dress she had been wearing.

— What happened? — he asked worriedly.

— I got a scholarship to Princeton.

— What?

— It's a university in...

— I know what Princeton is, everyone knows what Princeton is! This is amazing Holly! I'm so excited for you and… why aren't you so excited?

— It's in New Jersey.

— I know where Princeton is.

— Can you stop talking about Princeton?

— Is that the problem? Me talking about Princeton?

— No! Kit, please pay attention. It's 5,500 kilometers away from Devon. It's almost a day trip.

— Not from the portal.

— You make everything look easy.

— What's the matter, Holly?

— I don't know if I want to go.

— You've got to be kidding, everything you've talked about in the last seven months is about going to law school and fighting for black people's rights and you got a scholarship to an Ivy League university! I won't let you miss this. When does registration start?

— Next week. — she moaned.

— I'll help you with your bags tomorrow.

— Do you really think Jem and Tessa are going to let you go with me to another continent? They took weeks to allow our official meeting.

Reality hit Kit like a brick and he threw himself against the couch.

— Shit!

— So it is.

— Maybe they'll allow it, I mean, I'm much better in training now, I've mastered several types of weapons and…

— You've never fought a demon.

— They can leave. —but certainty had already abandoned Kit.

Kit hadn't made many friends in town since moving to Devon three years ago. Holly had been his faithful friend for two years, technically his girlfriend, but she was also a friend. Owen was a mundane who didn't know he was a Shadowhunter, Gabe was a werewolf from Holly's clan who never spent much time with him to "not risk the wrath of a jealous wolf", not that Holly was jealous, they had this complicated relationship that only the two of them seemed to understand. Holly sometimes dated other guys, two or three girls in the past year, but she said she simply preferred men, although she liked to leave the options open. Kit tried not to bother, but her heart sank when she smelled another masculine scent on her. They'd gone to school together, she'd helped Kit with all of his homework, applied to college together, not that he had any hope of passing any, though his grades were good there was a big blank sheet in it.” extracurricular activities” in which Kit simply couldn't write that he spent his afternoons training to slay demons.

Everything had always revolved around Holly. She who kept him from falling into a pit of self-deprecation when he found out Ty was dating, she who made him experience Eton Mess for the first time, which he could no longer live without, she was the one and only in many things in recent years . Kit had a feeling he couldn't breathe properly without her telling you how. What would he do without her around. It was Kit who broke the silence.

— You're going to be an excellent diplomat. — he said at last.

— Some university will accept you.

— At! I'll end up working at that bakery down the street and serving bad tea to tourists.

— Now you spoke like a true Englishman.

They laughed, but the tension remained. Holly gripped Kit's hand tightly.

— You have to go.

— I know. she said in a choked voice.

He glared at her. Holly stared at the ceiling and tried to hold back tears. He hated to see her sad. He could bear to see her angry because the werewolf was more than capable of taking care of herself and any idiots that got in her way. He didn't know what to do in these situations. Kit wiped away when a tear rolled down his cheek.

— Can I get a spell from Magnus to clone us. So at least part of us would be together? She laughed.

— That would be the second dumbest thing to do in that case.

— And what's the first?

After that, Kit only remembers them being in her room too busy to be sorry. Serious. Holly had a way of kissing him that made him lose track of everything, which for a Shadowhunter is a very bad thing. It was then that Church, the incredibly privacy-conscious cat, saved their lives. He simply jumped at Holly, clawing at her back with his sharp claws. Instinctively, the wolf tried to attack her attacker and Kit managed to grab her hands before she could actually slice him.

— Church! What the fuck are you doing? — he screamed.

Holly walked out of Kit, probably still thinking about having a cat barbecue. The cat simply swayed as if hitting the ground hard didn't even bother him and meowed loudly in warning. The scent reached them. Smoke.

They were dressed in an instant. Kit followed the smoke down the stairs, wondering if Mina had gotten into a big mess. The kitchen was on fire. The fire was climbing Tessa's white curtain, had spread across the wooden table, and was inches from the gas pipe with no chance of being controlled in time. He ran to Mina's room, feeling the adrenaline coursing through her veins. Holly was in a corner, away from the window with Mina on her lap, looking scared.

— There are people outside. — she whispered.

He reached into his pocket and pulled out the stele. He drew the night vision rune and tried to look through the curtain into the forest. There were several figures hidden among the trees, ten in all, standing as if waiting.

— When we go down through the window, I want you to change and take Mina to the pack. Keep her safe. OK?

— Kit, they're demons.

— I know. You will have to run really fast.

She was tense. He began to draw the runes on his forearm.

— What will you do?

— Draw them in the opposite direction.

— Kit…

— Mine is the priority. Protect her. he said firmly.

She lifted her chin angrily. He knew how much she hated being ordered around, but he also understood that this was a situation only a Shadowhunter could handle. She handed him her cell phone before heading downstairs with Mina clinging to her back. Kit grabbed some guns Jem had hidden on top of the closet and then called Tessa and Jem. Both cell phones off. Magnus didn't respond. He was punching in Jace's number when the house exploded, smoke filling the room so quickly he could only jump out the window and hit the floor the way Jace had taught him. The figures in the shadows moved towards them. He looked at Holly, who was panicking. He heard her transform and saw her run so fast it was just a blur. And he ran the other way.
