We both crashed into her as she flew through the air and hit the double doors. She landed with a weird red and gold light surrounding her. She got up with the help of the door handle and gripped her dagger tightly. She then charged straight for me. I readied my blade and held it out across my face. Metal on metal crashed as she tried to push me down with the force of the blade. I swiped my legs and knocked her to the ground. Then, I pointed the tip of my sword to her chest.

"Very well done girl!" She exclamied. She then used her legs and wrapped them around mine, bringing me to the floor with her. While using the support of My fall, she got to her feet. "But, not good enough!" She laughed holding her stomach and keeping her eyes open wide. Jonathan dashed over and slashed the blade across her throat. Before reacting, she drove the dagger across Jonathan's face. He lurched back in pain and grunted hard. I got to my feet and looked past her to the wall. Then ran for it. She towered over Jonathan as I ran past her to the wall. "I think you missed me!" She called while laughing and keeping her light blue eyes fixed on me. I found the first foot hold and started to climb up the jagged wall, fast.

She jogged over close to me, shouting curse words on what the hell I was doing. Once I was a couple feet above her, I flipped backwards while holding out my shining katana. I landed on her and my blade stuck through her back, past her chest in front. She fell to the ground with a hard thudding sound and became very quiet. Then, I snatched the dagger from her hand and cut a deep slash in her throat. I connected two fingers together and put it to her throat. "What the fuck are you doing? That's really gross!" He announced turning to the double doors with surity. I leaned in close for her to hear me. "Don't think I didn't see that little password lock on the door that required your blood." I snickered and smiled by the side of her face.

I went over to the passcode lock on the wall and put my two bloody fingers on the smooth screen. It turned green and I heard the doors unlock, but not open yet. Jonathan jogged over to the girl and inspected her face like he did for me. "What's your name anyway?" He asked straightening his back and crossing his arms. "I am the Keeper. I guard the door of the prisoners," She paused to cough blood on the floor. "Or at least I use to." She glanced my way and smiled a bloody teeth smile."Be prepared, for when you enter you might not expect what is through".  She turned her head back to Jonathan and her smile widened. "I am glad I get to die, seeing a gorgeous face above me!" She exclaimed and closed her eyes, while taking her last breath.

"I don't know what the fuck she meant but I really don't care!" I replied and turned at Jonathan. "Thank's for the compliment lady. Even if it was hella creepy!" His eyes widened with disgust as he kicked her limp arm aside. "Have you even killed anyone before?" I asked full of curiosity. "Well, of course I have," He replied while walking to the doors. "Just no one has ever said anything that creepy before they died." he finished and look at me with sympathy. "Shall We go in?" He questioned with a faint ghost of a smile. "We shall!" I announced and took a deep breath while opening the doors.

Immediatly, the first thing I saw was a group of four people sitting together. A girl with fiery red hair had her legs up to her chest, and was staring at the floor. Another girl with jet black hair was cuddling with a boy with brown hair. He was really pale also. Then, a boy with jet black hair like the girl was glaring at the door with anger. All of their heads whipped up when the door opened. "Jace!" the girl with red hair exclaimed and dashed for Jonathan. She wrapped her arms around his neck in a hug and her face dug into the space in his shoulder. He held onto her with complete relief and affection. "Jace?" I asked looking confused. "Jonathan's my full name. My nickname is Jace." He answered still hugging the girl. She turned to me and smiled a little. "I'm Clary!" She started to turn around still holding on to Jace's side. She pointed to the girl with jet black hair. "That's Isabelle, and the person next to her," She pointed to the pale boy. ", is Simon. He's a vampire. Then," She pointed to the guy with jet black hair. "That's Alec he is Isabelle's older brother." She finished

I looked at everyone and gave them a nice trustworthy smile. Then glanced around the room in panic. "Clary, have you seen a girl about sixteen years old with dark brown hair and eyes?She is wearing a black sparkling dress." I asked my voice full of panic now. "No, the only person in here was the one blonde lady. But, no one else." She replied gently realizing that who I was looking for was gone. All the people in here seemed to be my same age or older. I could tell Alec was the oldest out of everyone. Even Jace. Before I could let out a single tear the blond haired lady walked into the room, twirling a piece of fallen hair.

"Well, you guys really don't give up do you?" she started a look that said 'I don't care' on her face. Her hands were caked in fresh blood."Where's Karana you bitch?" I snarled while staring her down. "You should have listened to the keeper. She said that one of you might not find your family in here. To bad that person was you, Vanessa!" She laughed and placed her hands behind her back.  "I ask again. Where is Karana lady?" I scowled edging closer and closer to her. "My name isn't 'lady' it's Helen." She protested still keeping her hands behind her. "Fine. Helen tell me now!" I shouted to her and felt for my weapon by my side.

"I will tell you. If you fight me and win!" She called to me. "If you win I will tell you where your sister is. But, if i win. I can kill all of you. Even you Jonathan!" She smiled. I glanced to question Jace with my eyes. He nodded very slightly and turned his attention back to Helen to see what she was to say. "Fine. Let's fight then. I'm really gonna enjoy killing you!" I exclaimed grabbing my katana and gliding my fingers across the surface. Her smile widened as she pulled her hands out from behind her. While carrying a huge blade that shined the color red. "For Karana!" I shouted and urged my fire to blaze through my body again. It started up and burst brighter than ever before. Helen staggered back a little in surprise. I snickered. "Oh, you didn't know that i killed your little guards with my fire, and I'm gonna kill you like this too." I then sprinted forward, the fire surrounding me. My katana out in front. I was going to fight. Knowing I might die.
