Bay ducked when the lizard demon lashed out with its tail, knocking Isabelle off her feet.

"Don't let it get away!" Isabelle shouted as Bay dashed after the demon. The young Shadowhunter grinned when the demon charged into an alleyway only to find a dead end.

"You have nowhere to go now," Bay said, her eyes gleaming with excitement. Adrenaline was coursing through her body and with a firm grip on a seraph blade, she felt like she was on top of the world.

Blade up at the ready, Bay approached the demon, its glistening, black, reptilian eyes followed her every movement. Both were wary as they analyzed each other.

"Nephilim, always thinking that they are undefeatable," the demon rasped and Bay narrowed her eyes. Without warning, the demon attacked with its tail once more, forcing her to leap away and clear a path for the demon to escape.

A low growl emanated from the Shadowhunter's throat as she lashed out repeatedly, only to slice through air. Just when the demon was about to make a run for it, Bay brought her blade down and sliced the whip-like tail off of the demon. Shrieking, the demon slew around with hateful eyes.

Bay smiled humorlessly and said tauntingly, "What is it? Afraid to fight me without your tail now?"

"It is you who should be afraid," the demon hissed, its seething anger making Bay's lips curl even more. Her arrogance got the better of her.

"My tail is not my only weapon."

Surprised, Bay barely dodged the demon's claws and dropped onto all fours with a pounding heart. Each time the demon attacked, Bay barely managed to dance away. One wrong move could result in her death.

Suddenly, the demon lunged and slammed into Bay-the impact throwing her against the wall. Grunting, She threw her blade which buried itself into the shoulder of the demon. Before she could reach for another weapon, the demon's claws pierced the skin on her arm, causing her to draw back.

Without warning, it spat out a glob of black substance at her. A scream of raw pain tore itself from the girl's throat as she clapped a hand over her eyes.

"Bay! Bay!" The Shadowhunter stooped over in excruciating pain as she heard Isabelle yell out her name.
