I can hear the rain dancing on the roof and playing tag down the window. This world is so gentle, if only we choose to see it that way.- Anon

Slowly moving the pillow that had fallen on her face Sage sat up looking at the time on her phone. 10:30pm it read. Groaning Sage stood up walking towards the bedroom bathroom. She wanted to have a nap before her Izzy, Alec and Jace went on the mission. Sleep is a big yes on Sages list on do's an don'ts. "Sage" Alecs voice interrupted her thoughts on sleep. "for the love of god hurry up!" he finished walking further down the hallway.  "I am almost done" she yelled back now changed into her black jump-suit, placing her hair in  a bun to  keep out of her face and grabbing he favourite leather jacket.

"We'll have more answers when we figure out exactly who the demons are working for." Jace was explaining, when Sage was awaking in. "So, you don't think they're acting on their own" Izzy inputs. "No." Jace speaks out once again. "They're not exactly creative thinkers, they're shape shifters." Alec says somewhat cutting in before Jace can continue.  "This is what our target looks like." Jace finally finishes. "For Now" Sage and Izzy say at the same time making them both smile and showing Sage is present. "You look- will you be able to fight in that?" Jace says changes what he was saying and looks at what she was wearing. Sage nods while walking towards her weapon grabbing Artemis. It was her families sward she got it send from her Aunt in Idris  for her 16th birthday. "Judging my fighting skills Wayland?" Sage questioned adding a small smirk at the end looking over at him. " No... Just making sure your safe" Jace says now walking towards the big double doors. Laughing Sage replied with an "My safety, my ass!" under her breath and walked out with the rest of them.

"move out of the way" sage yelled at the people grinding on each other to the music. Don't get her wrong she loved Pandemonium the drinks here where great and usually she would be one of these people dancing to the beat of the music letting the alcohol do its job, but when it was mission time, which meant Sages head was clear it also meant making the way through the annoying and intoxicated people.
"Izzy" Jace said signalling her. Watching Izzy walk to the stand as she took her coat and wig of she smiled " work it girl" she said loudly, earning a glare from both Alec and Jace, but Jaces face implied he found it funny with the small smirk toying on his lips. Raising her hands up in a surrendered kind of way she shrugged smiling looking at jace with the demon in a purple dress talking.

" Watch out!!" came out of nowhere, the voice belonged to a redheaded girl, which was now shoving the demon out of jaces way. "what the f-" Sage was cut of by one of the men/demon grabbing her from behind. Grabbing Artemis sage slashed downwards hitting the guys arm slashing it open, turning stabbing it staring in the heart. "Careful!" Jace yells as a demon goes for the redhead and stabs it, distracted a demon finds it was to jace and pushes him making his sward fall out his grasp.

Looking around Sage sees everyone is doing fine and goes to help Jace. Before she can reach him mother demon blocks her was, slashing at it, it groans and losses its trace of thought, taking this as an advantage sage finishes him off and looks up towards where jace is, seeing him shove the demon on to the redhead holding the sward. Which makes in vanish leaving the redhead gasping, Jace looking at her costs him time as another demon latches onto his back. Groaning Sage walks towards him helping him get free. "Thanks" he mutters and carries on. By the time they where done the red head had left.  " What the hell was that all about" she said looking at Jace frustrated. "Twice Jace Twice" she picked up his sward tossing it to him. Jace not replying made her lookup only to see him looking out in the crowd.  "I can already tell she is going to be a pain in my ass" she muttered walking out of the club with them.
