I woke up to someone shaking my shoulder, I groggily sat up and rubbed my eyes, shoving Isabelle's hand off of me. after throwing on a shirt and some shorts i asked her what the fuss was about.

"You better put on some gear," she said, after which i noticed she was wearing the tough black material that Shadowhunter gear was made of. "Jace says he picked up high demon activity down at 32nd street. were supposed to meet him there."

I was already rummaging in my closet for some gear, after a few more seconds I came up with the black gear gripped in my hand. i quickly changed, slung my weapons belt around my hips and grabbed a few sereph blades, my sword Acara, and a dagger, shoving them into the belt as i jogged out of my room. Isabelle was waiting for me outside.

"ok lets get going. I'm in the mood for kicking some demon ass." I said as I passed her on my way down the stairs.

"yeah, I know what you mean. I'm just surprised that you didn't yell at me for waking you up at 6:30."

"oh believe me, I was yelling at you in my head." i replied, grinning as we turned the corner on to 31st street.

We sprinted the rest of the way, our shadowhunter bodies smoothly weaving in and out of the shadows. we spotted Jace and Alec waiting for us, crouched behind a wall, ready to spring.

"took you long enough." Jace grumbled as we approached.

"hey it's not my fault that you can't kill a few demons without calling us to help!" I said, slipping Acara out of its sheath. Isabelle uncoiled her electrum whip from around her wrist and peeked around the wall. when she turned to us her face was white.

"two behemoth demons and a serpentine demon" she reported

"wow, I wonder why so many have congregated here" said Alec under his breath, notching an arrow into his bow, preparing to shoot."

"how about this!" i said sarcastically, "we actually go kill them instead of sitting here gossiping."

in response Alec let his arrow fly and hit one of the behemoths right in the head, or what i guessed what was its head. (you can never really tell with giant blobs can you. anyway back to story.) As one, Alec, Jace, Isabelle, and myself charged the demons. I side-stepped the gnashing teeth of a behemoth and plunged my sword into its neck all the way to the hilt. I felt a sharp pain at my ankle and realized that the serpentine demon was trying to bite my foot off. Just in time Isabelle circled her whip around the head of the demon and pulled the golden cord taut. the serpentines head flew off, spattering both of us with black ichor. one down, two to go.

"thanks," i said to my parabati.

"any time," she replied, grimacing as the demon blood touched her face.

We both turned and saw Jace and Alec finishing off the last behemoth demon. after the last of the demons disintegrated into nothing, they headed over to us.

"Well that was refreshing wasn't it!" said Jace, stretching.

"yeah I always love having to go off and fight demons while everyone else in New York is still asleep" muttered Alec.

"thats the spirit soldier!" Jace said, his eyes twinkling.

I slugged him on the shoulder, sheathed Acara, and started walking down the street, back to the institute.
