destined angel (on hold)

On infernal ground -2 

---------------------

While the others go to gear up I head straight out of the institute. I activate my glamor rune so that no mundane's can see me and then take to the skies. I stay bellow the cloud line in order to still be able to see the world bellow me before summoning my butterflies. 

I start by trying to located the missing wraith demons as that will be easier to do only to come up short. I sigh but try the same thing for Tim Dempsey only to have the same result. I rein in my frustration and decide just do it the old school way. 

I start near Dempseys neighborhood before searching near the hospital only for both to show no trace of him. I end up creating a wider search radius and see some disturbing scenes in some hidden alleys along with a few Shadowhunter's fighting regular demons like they used to but no sign of Tim Dempsey. 

However, I continue my search until I get a text from Clary with a location and rush their immediately. I walk into what appears to be an old warehouse and find a mundane and Luke in wolf form both unconscious on the floor. I quickly heal any injuries they both have and set up a barrier of energy to keep them same before advancing onwards. 

I run into Dempsey's torn up body but just walk past it and follow the sound of action. I find Clary trying to use her sunlight hand rune to try and kill the demon and walk over. "That the thing that was in Dempsey?" I ask her motioning to the demon in the distance. 

"Yeah, I think it's one of those Wraith demons." I nod and summon my spear before allowing fire to spread from my hands wrapping around the blade. The demon flies right at us and Clary uses her rune while I grip my spear incase it doesn't work. The demon disintegrates into a pile of ash and we return to where Luke and the mundane are waiting. 

I lower the barrier as Luke checks over the woman to ensure she is alright. "Is she okay?" 

"Yeah, she's fine. Nice work. I guess those blades aren't your signature weapon after all." Luke says motioning to the new blades in Clary's hands. "I'm going to take her to the hospital." We nod and watch him pick her up and carry him to the car. 

"Are you going back to the institute?" I ask my sister. 

"Yeah, I want to get some more training done with these." She responds holding out her new weapons. 

"How about you do that tomorrow and we go and get drinks at the hunter's moon. Have a girls night? Maybe invite Izzy and Maya?" 

"Sure, I feel like I aint spent any non demon related time with you in ages." I smile and spend a quick text to the two girls in question as we begin our walk to the hunters moon. Maya is already there when we arrive and Izzy comes in shortly after us. 

We spend an hour just drinking and partying, acting like mundane's instead of the creatures we really are. When Magnus and Alec come in I am already wasted, having drunk A LOT more than the others due to my blood burning it off quickly, just not as quick as I thought. Izzy was slightly tipsy but Clary and Maya seem unaffected. 

Not wanting to give myself alcohol poisoning - can angels even get alcohol poisoning?- I agree to let the girls take us back to the institute. "Girl, I swear, have you never gotten drunk before?" Maya asks me as she walks beside me to ensure I don't fall. 

"Nope, when I was a mundane I was 17 so couldn't drink. Only reason I can now is cause everyone knows who I am." i respond happily as I feel my blood beginning to burn through the alcohol. "I burn through it quickly though so it's fine." I follow afterwards as I walk up the steps towards the institute. "I'm gonna go to bed, thankyou for the girls night out, I've always wanted to try one." 

"What are friends for." Maya says as Izzy and Clary follow on with, "Sisters." Making me smile before stumbling slightly to my room. 

After a shower and getting into pajamas I lay down in my bed for awhile just tossing and turning unable to fall asleep. I decide to get up and see if Jace is awake so wrap a blanket around my body before hurrying to his room without running into anyone. "Jace?" I call softly from the doorway, not wanting to wake him up if he is asleep. "I can't sleep." I say when I notice he is still awake and walk over to lay down beside him. 

"Me neither." 

As I lay down beside him he brings his hand to my face and just stares at me, confusing me. "Jace?" 

"I just want to make sure you're real." I nod with a smile. 

"Is this real enough for you." I reply before pressing him lips to his. We continue until Jace suddenly pulls away and looks at the blade on his bedside table. "Hey, what's wrong?" 

"nothing, I just, I just want to hold you." I smile warmly and lay down beside him, curling into him before throwing my blanket over us both. 

When I wake up Jace is gone and the bed long cold despite the fact the sun still hasn't risen.
