Ryder's P.O.V.- The Next Night

I smirk rolling the dark-haired Seelie girl and myself so that she was on her back. She was almost completely naked, her bra and our underwear the only things left on our bodies. I move to attack her neck, sucking, biting, and kissing as she moans.

"Ryder. I need your help." A voice grunts out from behind me. I spin around, my hand reaching for my blade, quickly calming because Kirstin was standing in front of me.

The calmness didn't last long as I realize the veins on her arm are turning black, an awful cut that was pussing black on her hand, "By the angel! What happened? What do I do?" I put my hands on her face, making her look at me.

"Magnus. I need you to take me to Magnus and to... Ah! To call Cas and tell him that I'm alive. They weren't with me when he attacked. Actually, Magnus first, calling later." I spin around, pulling on the jeans that were on the floor, pulling my shoes on, and grabbing my hoodie off the shelf, not being able to locate my shirt in a moments notice.

I spin to the Seelie, "I have to go. I'm sorry, my girl is hurt and-" I stop talking flinging the door open and stepping into the hallway. Izzy must've heard the door hit the wall because her door flies open almost instantly.

"For the last time, Ry. Stop your door before it hits the-" I cut her off, pulling on my hoodie as I move toward her.

"Aunt Izzy, Thank the Angel, I need a favor. Can you show this girl out, I need to get Kirstin to Magnus, she was attacked. Okay? Thank you!" I kiss her cheek, quickly wrapping my arm around a clearly in pain Kirstin, teleporting as close to Magnus' house I.could get. You can portal out, but not in. Can kinda make for a hard time.

I keep Kirstin close as I dodge a crowd of people, pulling the door open and ushering her inside, pulling her back into my side as we move up the stairs. The black veins have spread, working up her neck. When we get to the door, I bang as hard as I possibly can, not caring if I woke the neighbors. I wouldn't even care if I woke the whole damned city as long as Kirstin comes out of this okay.

"This better be an emergency or I'm sending you to Edom." Magnus snaps as the door sails open his sneer instantly turning into a look of concern. His hair was extremely disheveled, and he didn't have a shirt on. Wow, what a trio we are. "Come in, get her on the couch, get her shirt off so I can see the extent of the damage. Alec!" I move her easily, pulling her flannel off, moving to pull the tank top off as she groans in pain, her hand clawing down her now exposed arm, hard enough to draw blood. I grip her wrist, yanking her hand away before she could do more damage.

"You know, this is not how I imagined seeing you topless." I joke, using humor as a distraction as I pull her tank top over her head. I wince as I see the black veins spreading over her chest, moving down the other arm. I stare at the bloody limb opposite to it, realizing the wounds aren't healing. I turn around to find Magnus sending a slightly disheveled Alec out the door, closing it as he sends a fire message.

"The fact that you imagined..." She grunts, making a harsh fist. I force her hand to stop making a fist, grabbing her hand in mine. She grips it tightly, biting her lip for a second, "imagined me topless at all proves just how much of a teenage boy you are." I laugh as she says that, moving so she's leaning against me as I sit on the couch.

"Or that I'm a guy with a healthy libido thinking about the girl he loves." I wince as I realize what I say, prepared for a rejection. Thankfully she doesn't notice, as Magnus starts working magic on her.

"This won't stop it from spreading, but it will dull the pain, okay?" Kirstin nods, her jaw clenching visibly as her grip on my hand tightens. Magnus' blue magic works quickly, spreading over her body, quickly disappearing quickly. He then sends another wave falling over her body, watching as her eyes flutter closed. Her body goes completely limp as her breathing evens out, sending her into a deep sleep.
