The Demon Attack

The mission

Clary's POV

I stood up, now in the institute, and walked to the front of the gathering. Maryse Lightwood was calling the names of everyone going on the mission taking place today. 

"Alec Lightwood" Everyone clapped and Maryse smiled at her son.

"Isabelle Lightwood" More clapping as the two exchanged a much more tense smile.

"Jace Lightwood" Even more clapping and more smiles.

"And last but not least Clary Fairchild" I winced slightly at the name, as I grew up with the last name of Fray. I walked up and smiled at Maryse as the people once again. All four of us stood confidently and Maryse wished us luck. As everyone dispersed, Jace grabbed my arm.

"Are you sure that you're up for this?" He asks, concerned.

"Of course I am, I've been exercising to get the motion back in my legs, I trained with you, I had two breakfast's, and I've been staying hydrated." He laughed and looked me in the eye.

"I just don't want you to get hurt." I looked him in the eye and smiled.

"I won't, and you'll be there to watch over me." I winked and we hugged. We followed Isabelle and Alec over to the weapon 'wall' and grabbed our weapons of choice. For me, just a plain seraph blade, and the same for Jace and Izzy. Alec however, chose his bow and arrows. We all took a deep breath and were off.

Jace's POV

I wasn't really keen on the idea of Clary joining us. She just woke up from a 4 day 'coma' I guess you could call it, and could barely stand up. Now, she's on her way to fight some pretty powerful demons by the looks of it. We walked over to the area but saw nothing. Alec and Izzy broke off to the left, and Clary and I went to the right.

"I wonder why it's so empty" Clary looked around, but never letting her guard down. 

"I don't know, but stay alert" We circled around and waited, and waited, and waited. Eventually we actually thought of going back, but we remembered that these demons have been around this place for about a week now, it's about time we take care of them. All of a sudden I heard Clary grunt and I spun quickly. As soon as I spotted her, she was pulling the knife out of a demon, and it disintegrated into thin air.

"Well done" I smiled, but turned as I heard a noise behind me. My great hearing was actually quite useful, if I had turned any later, I'd be ripped into shreds. I looked at Clary who was fighting off another. I worried but she looked like she was doing well with her swings. I focused back onto my demon, and as soon as I stabbed it, another one took its place. As I was fighting it I looked back again and saw Clary dealing with two. My heart started beating hard, she can't do two at once, she's too tired, and not trained enough. I finished the other demon, and this time, nothing took it's place. I was turning to go and help Clary, just as she let out a bloodcurdling scream.

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

Alec's POV

Izzy and I had just finished fighting off about 7 demons, when we heard a very loud scream. We looked at each other and locked eyes, and said at the same time. 

"Clary" We ran over to where Jace and Clary were, and we saw Clary staggering around. She was holding her stomach, but a large gash was spilling blood from her shoulder. Jace ran over and caught her before she could hit the ground.
