The arrow sings through the air, stabbing the demon exactly where Alec had aimed. It shrieks and explodes into dust. He sighed.

There was another demon sparring with Izzy, claws out and teeth dripping poison. She was lashing it with her whip, but it's brushing the blows off as if they were nothing. He nocked another arrow and raised his bow. The demon screeched as it combustsed. "Thanks," Izzy panted, shaking her hair out of her eyes and scanning the landscape for another opponent.

"No prob." A scream sounds in the distance, and a thrill of horror ran through him as he recognized it. Magnus! He took off running.

His boyfriend was backed against a ravine, surrounded by shadow-like demons that dissolved into smoke as he shot blue fire at them, and then reformed again. Their long, jagged teeth, the only solid part of them, gleam. "Magnus!" Alec shouted, nocking an arrow and raising the bow in the same movement.

The warlock glanced at him, his gold-green eyes filled with terror. "Alec!" he yelled. "Behind you!"

Alec spun. A blood-red demon was looming over him, hairy jaws parted, poised for the kill.
