quick as lightning

52. Almost the end of the line

After a nap and a bowl of cereal I was good. However my spine still tingled, yet there was a spot in my mind. A bad feeling of sorts, I knew if I saw it I would know it. Walking through the institute I left my weapons in the op center, wearing just a tank and pants. My red hair was up in a ponytail, red hairs framing my face.

I saw Mitchell and Hayley heading off on a mission, heading to the standing portal. The portal, bad feelings from the portal.

"Stop!" I shouted and they did, turning to me with frowns. I ran to the portal and forced it shut. Just then I got a fire message from Magnus that alerted me that warlocks put up wards, any nephilim that crossed through would be vaporized.

Walking to the center of the large room I stood as Jace came to me. "Portaling-"

"I know." I nodded, placing my hands on the rail.

"Oi!" I shouted getting everyone's attention. "Portaling stops immediately, no passaging in or out of the city, spread the word." I directed the nodded dismissal. Standing beside clary and Jace at a small table I looked between them.

"Luke called to tell us that the wolves went after the circle, valentine and Johnathan got away." Clary said and I scowled before Alec walked up, leaning with his hands on the table look between us.

"Isabelle's on her way back with Rufus. Guess who just tried to portal to idris." Alexa features were gorgeous as ever, dark wavy hair complementing his skin and black shirt. However now was not the time to admire him, Piper thought, now was the time of war.

Clary places her hand on pipers, rubbing her thumb over the chilled smooth skin of on the back pipers hand. However both girls suddenly saw flashes of runes and glowing and the golden portal Piper and clary created and black demon blood. When the two pulled their hands apart they looked to the boys.

"Clarys got a way to speed things up." Piper breathed and they looked with pinched brows.

"Actually it requires Jace and you to do it." Clear looked at myself and the blonde boy.

Jace clary and I stood in the courtyard, clary forcibly removing my jacket while I held my ruby steel between my fingers, twirling it nervously.

"So on a scale of one to ten how bad will this hurt?" I muttered and Jace shook his head with a chuckle.

"Clary tells us she's going to track her demon brother with our connection and your wondering about how bad it's going to hurt?" He asked and I scowled at him. "By the way how did you realize this?"

"I had a vision." He pulled my hair down and I glared at her. "The four of us have a connection, our angel blood and my shared Morgenstern blood. So I think we can use that to track him." Clary chuckled pulling me over to them.

"This is coming from the girl who shoots sunlight from her hand and edits portals, but who am I to talk, I run really fast and throw sparks." I chuckled before raising a brow. She guided my hand into the shape of the rune and then I drew it on myself before looking at Jace.

"Hm, would you like me to draw it on the shirt or your forehead?" I asked and he rolled his eyes, pulling off his shirt. "Oh, wow, this feels sexual." I said and clary rolled her eyes as I drew the rune.

"Piper your going to have to channel your angel." Clary said and I nodded relaxing my tense body.

"Come here." Jace said pulling me close beside him and clary. A wave of calm washed over me, it felt like warm sunlight slowly warming my skin, centered from the three of us. I rested my head on jaces shoulder feeling a arm come around my waist and clary take my hand.
