Hello! Haha. So, yeah. This is my first story. :)
"Come on Clary! You can do this!" Clary's face was flat against the rubber mat of the training room of the Institute. She was currently fighting with Isabelle. They said when it comes to strategy, Isabelle was the key. Clary got up from the floor and dusted off her lap and butt. She saw Izzy's infamous whip held on her right hand.
You can do this, Clary. Focus. She said to herself. As Izzy's right hand twisted, the whip instantly flew. Clary didn't hesitate and went straight to the opposite direction of the deadly weapon and ran as fast as she could. When she was near her opponent, she faked an attack and went behind her, resulting for Izzy to dodge the wrong way.
Clary instantly took this opportunity and lunged forward. She pulled on her whip, making it fly across the room just right before Izzy dropped on the ground, with Clary sitting on her back. She grinned as she breathed hard. That was the best she has done! She thought.
"Ugh." She heard Izzy whimper and immediately got off of her. "Sorry" she said.
"Don't be. That was great!" The dark haired girl said to her as she stood up. Clary smiled. If only Jace could've seen that. He'd be proud of her.
Then as if on cue, they heard someone clapping. Clary turned her head to the right side of the room and saw that fair haired boy she was in love with walking towards them. He was looking directly at her with that grin she had always loved. She felt her cheeks burning, like how it did every time Jace smiled. "Izzy's right. That was amazing, Clary!" he said.
"Thanks" was all she could say. She was too occupied by the sensation Jace's smile was giving. She's starting to think about how ridiculous her body's reactions are to the simplest things Jace does.
"It's actually no fair you know!" Izzy exclaimed. "I mean, it's only been three weeks and you can already pin me to the ground. Maybe let's say in another week you can already slam Jace's head on the wall!" Clary laughed. And surprisingly, Jace laughed with her.
"Sure, Izzy. Like that's ever gonna happen" He said cockily.
"You never know. Maybe I could" Clary said confidently.
"Are you challenging me, Fray?" She smiled. This is going to be fun.
"..Maybe" she continued. Jace was about to say something back when they heard a phone ring. Clary was about to check her phone when she saw Izzy fetching hers. As she swiftly drifted away, the couple looked at each other again. But this time, Jace only grinned at her and wrapped his arms around her. Clary giggled. Their foreheads were now touching, Jace's hands settled on her waist and hers was on his neck. He inched closer to her face, their lips merely centimeters way from touching-
"Jace! Put me down!" she said as he unexpectedly lifted her up.
"Nope. Not unless you back down from that challenge."
"What if I said I don't want to?" She smirked.
"Don't make me jump Clary" He smirked this time. Her eyes just widened. "Jace, No! D-"
But it was too late. They were already flying up in the air.
"Guys! Come back down here! Alec needs help!"
They ran as fast as they possibly could. Thank goodness for glamours. Less Attention. Clary could still feel the marks Jace had drawn on her slightly burning on her skin. But that was the least of her worries right now.
They finally reached the alley where Alec and Magnus were. Clary could see the blares of light the balls of fire Magnus was creating to fight the swarming creatures. "Raum demons" Jace said.
"How many are there?" Clary asked. "I don't know. Maybe ten to fifteen" Isabelle said and immediately pulled out her whip and charged. As well as Jace, he named one of his Seraph blades and went on Izzy's tail.
Clary went there last. She finally got her hands on one of her Seraph blades. "Cassiel" she said. And the blade flared up, shining almost as bright as the sun. She darted forward going to the first demon she sees. She stabbed its back as it was facing its back to her. The demon groaned, spilling black blood and ichor to the ground. Clary retreated her blade and took a step back then went beside it.
She started to recall her fight with Isabelle earlier that afternoon and all the other things they had taught her. "You have to be faster than your opponent. That way, you can have the advantage to attack him or her when he or she'd off guard." Jace had said to her.
While the demon was still struggling to turn to where she once had been, she made her way around the demon and faced it. The demon's head wasn't facing front because it was still looking behind itself, looking for the source of the stab on its back.
Clary took another stab, but now on the front. The demon's head flung back as it shrieked. It finally fell to the ground as more ichor started to pour.
Clary went on the next demon. She could see Jace handling two demons at her peripheral vision. She then focused on the Raum demon that was now facing her. She took a swag with her blade and injured it. The demon groaned and she swiftly went to the side.
But apparently, she wasn't swift enough. The demon got a hold of her shoulder with its weird tentacles and dragged her backwards, making her land on her back. She groaned but immediately stood up. Never get distracted. Endure all the pain She heard Izzy's words to her last week.
She squeezed her right hand, expecting the seraph blade to be there. But it was gone. She looked at her surroundings and found it behind the demon, maybe 2 or 3 feet away. She fiddled with her belt, trying to find another blade.
"Shit" she mumbled to herself. The only thing that was left there was her stele. Why the hell did she just bring one weapon?
Despite her aching back and being weaponless, she ran towards the demon. This just resulted her to getting kicked and falling to the floor again. She felt a few bones crack, but she didn't care. She was faced down to the ground and put her hands firmly down, pushing herself up. She looked up and smiled. Perfect. The seraph blade was there. She grabbed it and charged.
She stabbed the demon one last time and the familiar goo streamed out. Clary expected to hear a response from the ugly creature but she heard something else.
"He is back." Her eyes widened. Raum demons can talk? Even with their black holey mouths?
"Who?" she demanded and inched her seraph blade further.
"My lord is back. He has come to get you!" and that was it. The demon flashed to ashes and disappeared.
"Clary!" She turned her head. She saw Jace running towards her. She started walking but quickly regretted it as a stab of pain went through her back. She gasped and dropped her seraph blade. She saw something stabbed against the bottom of her stomach. It was something black and it vanished, just like the demon she killed. She could feel a burning sensation running through her veins and her knees buckled.. "Jace." She whispered and felt arms go around her.
She heard faint voices and her vision darkened, black spots blocking her eyes. That was the last thing she saw.
He has come to get you.
Done! I hope you guys are not too disappointed. :D And I would really appreciate it if you told me what you think of it. That way, I know if I should continue writing this story or not.
Thank youuu!
