My Heart Will Go On.

Demon Hunt (Part 3)

Tessa's POV

Tessa rolled over in her bed searching blindly for the comfort of Jem or Will. Instead, her hand hit a sweeping robe. She shot up, staring at her was a Silent Brother, with his lips stitched shut but his bright blue eyes unwavering. Scanning his face, she screamed, she'd run her hands through those thick, black curls, kissed that star on his collarbone, and had loved that laughing face of Will Herondale. Now he was a silent brother, he reached for her using the same jerkiness of the automations of Mortiman. When suddenly; bright, fiery wings burst from his back, lined with sliver, gold, and a white fire. She screeched, recoiling, sliding off the bed and scrambling to the corner in fear. His brilliant blue eyes, turned a sick yellow as his skin stretched as muscles built up. His skin turning an awful blueish-black and the wings turned to ebony and great twisting horns erupted from the crown of his head. His voice gravelly when he spoke;

"Tessa Gray Herondale Carstairs, Central Park's beautiful tonight, painted in blood." He lunged for her, striking her with his barbed tail to her heart, before she died the demon changed to her beautiful Jem, who smiled at her blood.

Tessa woke up from the awful dream, placing a hand on her heart to be sure it was still beating. The covers beside her had not moved, signalling that Jem still wasn't home. Tessa slipped on some jeans and boots before grabbing her jacket and running to Central Park, a sinking feeling gnawing away at her stomach.

Jem's POV

This was not good, not good at all. Jem had fallen on his back using his seraph blades to block the poisonous barb just inches from his face.

"WILL, NOW WOULD BE HELPFUL!" Jem yelled, straining. That's the thing, Will didn't have a weapon.

"HANG ON!" Will screamed

"JAMES!" Jem out of the corner of his eye saw Will turn to see Sophie and Magnus and the rest of the people who went on the trip to Europe step out of a portal. The demon forgot Jem, using his tail he lunged for Will's unprotected back. When all of a sudden an arrow whizzed past Jem's ear; so close he could feel the wind rushing with it. Another arrow flew from Gabriel's bow hitting the demon square in the eye. The first arrow shaft sunk deeply into the demon's tail, severing the barb from the body. Hissing in pain the demon, flew off, his screams tearing at their ears.

"Ahhh....BY THE FREAKING ANGEL!" Jem swore, wiping a bit of blood from the corner of his mouth, before Will helped him up.

"Come on, let's go." Will started to lead the way, but he heard someone running up behind them. "By the way, good shot Alec."

"Wait!" Tessa pulled up short, breathless, a quiver of arrows across her back. "Let me come too."

"No." Jem and Will said together.

"I can help." Tessa said, "Plus, not to mention, I severed it's tail."

"But, Alec shot it!" Will protested. Alec held up a hand,

"No Will, I gave Tessa the bow, so I could draw my stele to draw a healing rune on Jace. He was hit by the demon when he swung his tail to hit you." Tessa gave him a smug smile before giving chase to the demon.

'By the Angel, she's more beautiful and amazing, everyday.' Will thought.
