City of Olympus

Chapter 2:

Clarys POV:
I began to add the final details to the drawing I had been working on for a few days now. It was of Simon, his expression was nervous but happy. He was surrounded by smoke and was extending his arm out as if reaching out for someone's hand. With the sleeve of his jacket riding up, you could see the marks on his arm, and the stele in his hand. It was what he had looked like after the ceremony that had made us parabatai. I was so glad that he had wanted to become my parabatai, but it was strange to have Simon as a shadowhunter, to see him use seraph blades, steles, and to walk on holy ground again. But he seemed happy, so I was happy. I was adding more detail to Simons hair when someone knocked on my door.
"It's open" I called out.
"Hey Clary," Jace said, as he walked into my room. Even though I should be used to him by now, he still took my breath away when he looked at me. He sat down next to me on my bed at the institute. My mom and Luke had gone on a honeymoon and allowed me to stay at the institute with Jace, Simon, and the Lightwoods minus Alec who was at Magnus' apartment.
"Hi Jace" his golden hair fell over his eyes as he tilted his head down to look at me. He reached out his hand and touched the side of my neck, where my parabatai rune was.
"It's still so weird to see you with this, I still can't even believe that Simon is a shadowhunter. When I first saw him he was just a scrawny mundie nerd!"
I hit his arm."That scrawny mundie nerd saved your life! Or do you not remember?"
He leaned in closer and I felt my heart leap in my chest,
"I remember everything"
"Hopefully that's not true" I said and he laughed. I loved his laugh, it lit up his golden eyes and just for a moment he would look, purely happy, almost vulnerable. I leaned in and our lips met.
"BY THE ANGEL, NOT YOU TOO!!!"
Jace and I sprang apart and turned to see Alec in the doorway, looking equal parts angry and disgusted.
"Alec!" Jace said "Really? You have to visit us now?"
"Yes now Jace, I need you and Clary to help me, but not if you're going to be making out the entire time!" I felt my cheeks go red even though we had barley even kissed.
"Can't you get someone else to help you!? Jace snapped
Alec glowered at him "Mom and Dad are out, and Simon is in Izzys room with her. Quite frankly I don't want to know what they're doing in there." He shuddered
Jace sighed, "What do you need help with?"
"There is a demon roaming around in Central Park, we need to go take care of it."
"Can't you and Magnus go?" I asked
This was obviously a touchy subject. Alec sighed and looked down at his feet.
"He kicked me out, said he had to meet up with a client and that I couldn't be in the apartment."
Jace moved over and put a hand on Alec's shoulder, "it's okay, it's probably nothing" he said "Now where was that demon again?"
Alec looked relived for the distraction, "Central Park, you guys ready?"
"Give us 10 minutes to get ready, we'll meet you outside the institute."
Alec nodded and headed off, Jace turned to me, a sarcastic grin on his face. "Would you hate me if I said 'now, where were we?'"
"Yes, and we have a demon to catch and I need to get my gear on!"
Jace gave me his puppy dog face, that little brat!
"Nooo" I said and pushed him out of my room, "now go get ready!"
I closed the door on his face before he could argue.
***
I was getting tired of following Jace around. We had gotten to Central Park about an hour ago, and after about ten minutes of searching for any sign of a demon when Jace swore he saw something heading towards us in the sky. Than he took off and left Alec and I to chase after him. The only good news was that since it was night there were no tourists.
"Shhh, stop! don't move." Jace said as I reached where he and Alec were hiding behind a tree. I joined them and very carefully poked my head around the tree to see why they were hiding. I almost gasped out loud. In front of our tree was a small clearing, filled with mostly twigs, two boulders, and a giant demon. When I say giant I don't mean that it was a 6 ft tall demon, I mean that it was a good 10 ft tall with a body made of shadows and claws for hands.
"We can't face this alone." I whispered to the others. Alec's even paler than usual face told me that he agreed with me 100%. But Jace had a steely determination in his eyes that i knew all too well.
"We've dealt with worse than this." He said as he pulled out a seraph blade.
"Jace..." Alec began, but before he got finish, Jace lunged out from the cover of our tree.
"Castiel!" He screamed and the seraph blade light up with bright blue flames right before he plunged it onto the demons foot. The demon swiped at him, but than Alec was there, showering the demon with arrows. The demon howled and tried to step back, but I lunged out from behind the tree, running so fast it was like I was flying. Before the demon could put its foot down I plunged my morganstern blade up its heel. I didn't have time to celebrate though, and barley dodged its arm.
We attacked the demon from all sides, Jace jumping up and swinging at its face with Castiel, Alec shooting arrow after arrow from a boulder, and I was slashing at its legs. We were doing pretty well, but we were starting to slow and the demon was only getting angrier. The demon lashed out at Alec, and he wasn't able to move fast enough. The demons claws hit his leg and he collapsed.
"Alec!" Jace screamed and ran over to his parabatai. As he ran, I tried to keep the demons attention on me, but it didn't really seem to care about me that that much. As I lunged out at its foot, the demon lunged at where Jace and Alec were.
There was nothing I could do, he was too far away. But I lunged at the demon any way, and plunged my dagger into its foot and gabbed on to what I think was the demon's foot. My scream riped through my throat as my vision turned red. It was agony, but somehow I managed to stay conscious. Through the cloud of pain I heard unfamiliar voices shouting, and hands ripped me away from the demon. The pain was so great that my body became numb, but moments before I lost consciousness I heard a voice shout out.
"Nico!!! No!!!"

Sorry that it took so long to write that, but I was busy with school.
Did anyone get the Supernatural reference I put in there?
I'm probably never going to have Cas in this story but I just wanted to have the seraph blade be named after him.
K so...
Until next time!
