Angélie's POV

I stood up slowly. My head felt dizzy and my throat was abnormally dry. I gasped for breath and looked around me. I was still in the mansion, but it was completely destroyed and charred from the flames that had erupted from my and Clary's room. If Clary did this, then she's much more powerful than I anticipated and it explains why she's the perfect host for whatever Azrael is trying to do.

Pulling myself out of the destroyed building and climbing on to a pile of rubble, I took in my surroundings. The first thing I noticed was the rain. It was raining above the collapsed mansion but nowhere else. That meant sorcerers were here.

The second thing I noticed was the majority of the mansion was still standing. Only the part where I had been, which was where the fire explosion had occurred, had been destroyed completely.

Stretching my aching muscles, I spread my wings and flew up above the building. Every part of my body was hurting from being underneath the rubble for so long. By the entrance I spotted Julia, Tara, Carly, and Sammy, so I swooped down to them.

"Angélie!" Tara yelled.

"Are you alright?" Julia asked.

"I'm ok. Just a little sore. Where's Clary?"

"Who's Clary?" Sammy asked.

"My daughter." I sighed. "So that means you haven't seen her?"

"No. We went in with fire protection spells to look for you, but now Maggie and Seth are missing." Carly explained.

"I'll get them, stay here."

And without another word, I shoved the burnt mansion doors open and flew inside as fast as my wings would take me.
