"Nat, are we- you know- good?" The raven haired boy asked.

"Why wouldn't we be?" Natalie breathed out, both of their eyes still locked at the door as their weapons were aimed up high.

"You didn't talk to me even once today," Alec responded.

"Rule number one of being a Shadow Hunter. Don't let emotions distract you, remember?" Natalie stated as Alec got the hint that she didn't wanna talk so he thought he'd ask about it later.

All Natalie could think about is that sentence Izzy told her back at the institute.

"Because the only girl he's ever been interested in, is you."

She didn't know wether Izzy lied to her or was telling the truth, she'll never forget it though.

A few seconds later a demon came barging in and Natalie was the first one to react.

She tackled it to the ground and stabbed it with her blade before another came as Alec immediately fired his arrow right into its chest, letting out a scream as it evaporated.

"Not bad for a Half-Warlock, Half-ShadowHunter," Alec commented.

"I train," Natalie breathed out as she stared at the raven haired boy as he did so too before they heard footsteps come towards the door as Natalie held her blade high, ready to attack the demon.

The door opened as Natalie was about to charge but stopped immediately once she saw it was Luke.

"Woah, there." Luke raised his hands up as Natalie put her seraph blade down and Alec did the same with his bow,"Where's Clary?" Luke asked.

"Well, I don't know, Her, Angel, Jace and Izzy were gonna head back to the institute as we were just holding the demons off. They could still be in the building, so let's go check." Natalie said as she turned around, with the two boys following her.

The three of them walked down a long hallway and turned a corner to see Clary standing there, staring into nothing,"Clary!" Luke called out as he walked towards the red head. Clary turmed around and held her seraph blade up high as she was shaking.

"Get back! How do I know you're Luke?" The red head yelled as Luke immediately put his hands up to show that he didn't mean any harm.

"I got you spray paint for your birthday." Luke responded, trying to prove that he's the real Luke as the three of them walked towards the girl cautiously.

"What happened?" Luke questioned as he stared at the red head who was currently in a mess.

"Demons. Long story, um- Where'd you come from?" Clary asked as she put her seraph blade down.

"Jail," Luke shrugged,"I ran into Alec and Natalie, said you might be down here. I thought you might need some help."

"Apparently not," Alec stated as he stared at the demon ash. "Looks like she took care of it." he continued.

"Shouldn't we get going or something?" Clary said,"More demons could be coming, right?" she added.
