"Skylar what the hell" She stands there shocked for a few moments but recovers when all the other demons attack as well. Me along with the other shadowhunters are fighting the demons while Clary picks up the saraph blade which starts glowing in her hands indicating that she is in fact a shadowhunter but I already knew that. The blonde guy then pushed one of the demons onto the blade that Clary was holding killing it in the process but Clary didn't seem impressed. In fact she was so shocked she dropped the blade and because I was distracted another demon grabbed me from behind pinning me down onto the floor.
I was struggling to defend myself as it tried to take a bite out of me but before it could an arrow flew right into its chest and I relaxed my head breathing out a sigh.
That was close.
"Hey you alright?" A man asked standing above me and judging by the fact that he had a bow in his hands this was my savour. He then extended his hand to help me stand up and I took it gladly.
"Yeah I'm fine thanks" I gave him a little smile walking over to my bow that I dropped as I was attacked. I then looked around noticing that Clary was gone.
"Oh god. Where is she?" I'd expect her to be going home but due to what just happened I don't know what to expect. She could be aimlessly wondering around Brooklyn for all I know but I decide that I will try to find Simon first.
Knowing that I need to find him and I'll be in front of mundanes I again run my stele over the rune on my shoulder making my bow and quiver disappear before heading out of the VIP section... or trying to anyway.
"Who are you?" The Burnett boy stops me by grabbing my arm as I walk past him. I look up at him and into his intensely blue eyes before realising that I really need to go.
"None of your concerns I don't have time for this." I quickly shake him off before trying to spot Simon or Mureen in between all these people.
"Hey Skylar" I hear my name being shouted through the music due to my advanced hearing. If I was a normal human I definitely wouldn't hear that but being a shadowhunter does have its perks.
"Simon thank god" I sigh in relief "Where's Clary?"
"She left the club like 15 minutes ago" He lets me know frowning. "Did you two have a fight or something she looked pretty upset"
"No we're fine I just need to find her, do you know where she went?" I ask.
"No she didn't say anything, just stormed out of the club."
I nod my head thinking of the many places she could be right now but decide to check her house first.
"I'm gonna go and find her, have fun" I pat his shoulder and leave the club hollering a taxi that was driving past. I then give him the address and 10 minutes later I'm already at Clary's.
It looked as if no one was in there but the door was ajar indicating that someone must have entered or left the house not long ago.
"Clary!" I shout through the building but there's no reply. The antique store is trashed as if someone was looking for something but there's no way of knowing if they found it or not. I then jog up the stairs to find the apartment trashed as well and Clary's bedroom on fire.
"Oh shit" I curse to myself before grabbing the fire extinguisher to put the fire out.
"What the hell happened in here" I look around hoping to find some clue. One of the windows were shattered as if someone flew right through it and there's knife slices all over the walls as and furniture.
"Skylar" I turn around to see Clary nearly in tears.
"Clary" we both run up to hug each other.
"Where were you?" I ask releasing her. "Why did you leave without me?"
"I was at the police station. Mum said to trust Luke and no one else and then pushed me through the door, then suddenly I was there but we can't trust him Sky, he said some terrible things about us. Where's mum?" She asks looking around.
"I don't know Clary, she already wasn't here once I got here" I look down onto the floor fiddling with my fingers.
"What the hell is happening right now" Clary slides down onto the floor leaning against the living room wall tears threatening to spill.
"Clary I promise to tell you everything I know but we have to get out of here first, it's not safe" I explain standing above her.
"Clary there you are" Dot stands a few feet away from us.
"Dot" She shrieks before hugging her. "What happened, where's mum?"
"They took Jocelyn but Clary, did your mum ever talk to you about a cup?" She asks holding her by the shoulders. A cup. She must be talking about the moral cup, one of the most powerful things in the shadow world. It has the power to create more shadowhunters but in the wrong hands has the power to control demons.
I never knew Jocelyn had it though.
"A cup? No she hasn't"
"Think Clary this could save her life" Dot pushes.
"I can't think. My mother has just been kidnapped" Clary yells which only makes Dot angry showing her true colours which turn out to be demon.
Oh how much I hate those deceiving things.
It attacks Clary and I don't have time to react fast enough before it takes a bite out of her neck. Then it launches at me but this time I manage to take out a dagger that was attached to my thigh and stab it in the chest. It wasn't enough to kill it though which is why it attacks me again biting my hand in the process. I scramble to the side of the room while Clary stands against a pillar for support, the demon venom already in her system.
I try to take out my stele from my boot to activate my healing rune just as the demon stands right in front of Clary. Once I finally take it out the blonde guy from the club enters through a portal along with his archer friend and kills the demon before Clary collapses in his arms.
The archer then notices me in the corner looking a little drowsy and runs up to me supporting my face.
"Hey are you okay?" He asks a little blurry in my vision. "Hey don't pass out, stay with me" He keeps my head steady.
"Healing rune" I motion towards my stomach with my stele trying to life my dress up but since The demon venom is spreading quickly I don't have any energy to.
"Hey look at me don't worry, you're gonna be fine" The boy lifts me up in bridal style standing up and in the process. I then give up with my dress and rest my stele on my stomach loosing all energy what so every. The last thing I see before I pass out though are those piercing blue eyes staring down at my face in concern.
So Alec is still not officially introduced but that's coming up in the next chapter woop woop. I've already started writing it and will probably post it tomorrow.
