Have a Little Faith! A Mortal Instruments Fanfic

The Night From Hell

Isabelle and I exited her room and get to the gates of the institute only to find Jace and Alec had not arrived. Last time I checked, girls were supposed to take longer than guys.

Another 15 minutes later, Jace and Alec finally made an appearance, wearing the classic black Shadowhunter gear, with seraph blades and holy water strapped in the interior of their vests.

"Well, you took longer than we did. And we're girls!" I said to Jace

"You don't just wake up and look this good" Jace said, smirking

I could wipe that ridiculous smirk of his face, I thought to myself

"Okay then. We should probably get going" Isabelle said, breaking the momentary silence 

"Yeah. How far away is this place anyway?" Alec asked

"A few blocks from here. Shouldn't be too much of a stretch" Jace said as we walked down the dark street

"Any idea what we're up against?" I asked

"Nothing new. Demons, Faeries, the usual" Isabelle said

"Fantastic"

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

We arrived at the door of a seemingly normal looking place, with the name "Magnus Bane" on the side of the door. Jace used a rune to open the door, and we walked inside.

"Okay, split up and if you find them, kill them on the spot" Jace said. 

I surveyed the floor for the offenders.

Well, isn't this just great.

There were so many things here I didn't know who were the offenders or the first way to find them.

Great. Just great.

"So, I didn't recall inviting you"  a man's voice said from behind me.

A very familiar voice

I turned to see Magnus Bane looking at me quizzically

"We have a few problems we need to sort out. There are others around here too." I said, sticking my chin out a bit to assert whatever authority a Shadowhunter has at a Downworlder party

"With who have you picked a fight this time?" Magnus asked

"A few murderous demons, you know, our normal thing" I said

"Okay. You have my total permission to kill them, just please, take them outside. Nothing kills the party mood like a homicide" Magus said, looking at his glittery nails

"I think that was a given" I said, walking away

I kept on wondering around, looking for any suspicious behaviour.

I meant Vampires, not Jace!

Of course, he was flirting with a faerie! She had really curly short blonde hair, and ice blue eyes. Never liked faeries, they can be pretty shady. Especially one wearing a ton of decorative eyeshadow and a really short dress.

I walked up to Jace and the faerie

"Jace! We're here on official business! Flirt when the time is right!" I said to him, folding my arms

"Oh look! Another one? How many did you bring with you?" The faerie said to Jace, looking at me, tauntingly 

"Shut it downworlder", I hissed at her "now Jace, come on!" I said having to pull him away to get back to business

"I was having fun!" Jace whined like a baby

"We're not here to 'have fun'. We're here to apprehend and kill a few murderous demons and downworlders!" I said to him seriously

He didn't talk after that

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

After another hour we met back up with Isabelle and Alec.

"Nothing?" I asked them

"No. We'll try find them some other time" Alec said

We were walking back down the street when we passed some vampires, who were talking about something.

"Jace, Alec, Isabelle, wait" I said.

I went and hid in a little crevice in the wall near the pack 

"Those Shadowhunters were looking for a killer. Good thing they didn't pick up our scent" said one of the Vampires.

"But I've picked up theirs. I can smell one" said a vampire snarling 

Crap!

They walked around trying to find me. I got my vampire gun ready. I loaded it

And then I wait

A vampire came very close to me, this would draw attention to me, but I had no other choice. But I shot. 

The Vampire turned and looked at me and screamed all in a split second.

And then it died. Again.

The others were running over to me, so I realoaded the gun and shot again.

It killed the second one. Two down, two to go

But before I knew it, one had bitten down on my wrist.

I howled in pain, and shot it. 

Now there is only one. But one is enough to kill me.

The pain was agonizing. It felt like my blood had been replaced with fire and it was running through my veins, my whole body

I'm dying. No Jace to have saved me at the last minute this time, it's already been done

Then I hear the footsteps of heavy boots

Isabelle

"Help me" I say

Then I pass out.
