"Alec what are you doing?" the blonde questioned, stepping forward and placing a hand on the arm who was holding a blade to Eden's throat, "She could be a demon." the black-haired man, Alec replied, glaring at Eden with so much hatred that Eden was shocked he didn't combust into flames right there and then.

"Demon? She's holding an angel blade for Raziel's sake." the exotic girl claimed, her tone annoyed and filled with disbelief, a snort escaped the slightly tanned brunette before she head slammed the man before her, purposely having him cut his neck slightly as he stumbled back. A little bit of blood drew from the wound, but she didn't disintegrate like the demon's they'd just killed.  

"How's that for being a demon?" She snarked at him, her own hazel eyes turning into a glare as she watched the blond subdue the older man and the girl walk to her in worry, "Are you stupid, he could have killed you..." the blond claimed, annoyance coating his words, Eden shrugged carelessly and threw the blade to the blonde.

The black-haired man stood up completely, rubbing his forehead while glaring back at the werewolf, "You're coming with us." he ordered, his tone hard and demanding that had her scoffing, "She interrupted the mission and now she's coming back with us." The girl and the blond rolled their eyes at Alec's lack of manners and merely watched as he went to grab her upper arm.

Unfortunately for him, he was met with the tip of his own blade pointed at his neck, alerting everyone that maybe this mundane wasn't at all just a mundane that the demon had copied, "Manhandle me once and I'll make sure to cut you up like a salmon and feed it to the rats." she hissed, her eyes cold and her tone firm.

It would seem that it was the first time that Alec seemed truly afraid for his life, because not only did he step back, but also saw his entire life flash right before his eyes, "I have to go after Clary, now if you excuse me." she snapped before beginning to turn back around, that was until the girl placed a warning hand on her arm, her calm and sweet voice claiming "You should come with us, Jace will go after her."

Eden turned around, trying desperately not to bite anyone, the girl's whose name Eden had yet to learn was quite nice while the other two were already on Eden's bad side, "You're hurt and needed healing." she continued, calmly, as if she was talking to a wounded dog, which in a way she was.

"I don't need anyone to go after my sister unless it's me. My sister, my responsibility." Eden told the group, glancing at each one of them, quickly taking note that the black-haired man and the beautiful girl shared more similarities than the blonde with any of them. "And the wound is superficial, I don't need any of those crazy tattoos." her tone sounded bored which she clearly was.

"They're not tattoos, they're runes." The clearly older man muttered under his breath, annoyed that Eden had had the audacity to compare the runes that adorned his body to petty mundane tattoos. "And I'm going home." she barked back, turning around once more, ready to step out of the club and track her sister down.

Unfortunately, it would seem that she hadn't been paying attention during the fight as she quickly stumbled, her hand reaching forward to the pillar for support, the blade still in her hand, her free hand reaching for her side slowly, gently patting it. The girl had stepped closer to her, sending a concerned look at the two boys over her shoulder as she did, her head turning back to the brunette girl as she pulled her hand from her side, blood coating her hand almost entirely.

The exotic girl's eyes widened at the sight of it while Eden merely frowned, she couldn't remember when she was attacked, she hadn't felt anything during the fight but perhaps that was because of the adrenaline that was pumping through her system, because now, as she stared at her hand she felt it, the unbearable pain that made her suck in breath through gritted teeth. 

"Izzy she'd going to..." was the last thing that Eden heard before she slumped forward, the exotic girl, Izzy as it would seem, quickly catching her in her arms before she was able to hit the ground. Alec sighed in annoyance while Jace smirked slightly, he had to admit that while the brunette was quite a mundane, she had to be a shadowhunter, her and the ginger.

"I'm going after the ginger," he began, ignoring Izzy as she corrected him by saying "Clary.", "You take this girl to the Institute, heal her." Izzy nodded and Alec groaned lightly, turning to him and questioning "Are you sure about this?" the blond, nodded before taking off. "Isabelle, you got her?" he then questioned, turning to the exotic girl who stood in full height with the passed out brunette in her arms, making it look as if the girl weighted nothing, "Always big brother." she beamed before the two started the long walk back to the Brooklyn Institute.
