Flying Solo
I cornered the demon. He hissed angrily. "What? You think you can beat me? Hah!
No way."
"Do you, I said slowly, pulling out some of the knives on my belt , "Know who I
am?"
"A pitiful mundane who thinks she can beat me?"
"No," I said walking slowly toward him," your worst nightmare." I flung myself
at him, knives slitting his throat. He gurgled. Trying to speak but only blood
came out. I took a knife and stabbed him in his chest. He fell over, dead. The
rain started pounding. I heard a soft clapping noise behind me.
Then footsteps. And jumping sounds. I step sided my attacker and ran at him.
Pushing him against the wall, I drew out my knife and held it to his throat.
"Not the best move," I said, taunting him. "Coming after me. But of course,
certainly not alone, hmm? I know your friends are out there," I said raising my
voice " and if they dare take a step closer I will slit goldilocks throat. "He
looked up at me through hooded eyes.
"What do you want," he said . "Nothing," I replied curtly." I saw you attacking me
and defended myself." I drew my knife back and let him go. He looked surprised,
but when I shoved him into an open ally where his friends were waiting he
grinned. I stopped but he continued walking into a corner and stopped. Turning
around, I could still see him smiling. His friends came out of the ally. Their
knives glistening in the moonlight.
"Did you really think we would let you go?" goldilocks asked.
"Not at all I said." I just thought it would be a little bit more exciting with
three against one, that's all." I drew my knifes out, getting ready to attack
when a voice stopped me in my path.
"Clary Fray," a cool, familiar voice greeted me. Turning around slowly, with a
smile on my face, I said," Hello Magnus."
"It's been too long since I saw you." he said, circling me. "Why are you here?"
"Business ," I said watching him, my eyes still on goldilocks and his friends."
I've been told that there is another...one of me around here. I've come to
kill it."
Magnus raised his eyes. "I thought you were never going to come back," I
shrugged." I have other reasons Magnus, but I don't trust goldilocks and his
friends."
Goldilocks finally had enough of me. "My name isn't goldilocks!," he yelled,"
it's Jace."
"Yeah and mines Clary. I could think of better times to meet you though." Jace
raised the knives out of his pocket.
"Clary," Magnus said warningly. "Chill Magnus. I'm not going to hurt him." I
responded. Magnus looked around at my back. "How are your wings? Still white and
fluffy?" I hissed at him. "Wait, wings?" Jace asked. "How does she have wings?" I
turned to him. "How? How do I have wings? Because I'm a freaking fallen angel!
That's how." Jace and his friends looked at me in horror.
"Those...those don't exist." The girl whispered.
"No angel has ever been kicked out of heaven before," the dark haired boy added.
"Magnus, looks like you have some explaining to do." I said sourly.
"You'll have to help by showing them your wings," he said smirking. I hissed
at him again but slowly let my wings unfold from beneath my skin. All eyes
grew bigger as my wings expanded.
"Not white and fluffy Magnus." I said crossing my arms.
"Not at all" he said," they are black and fluffy." I rolled my eyes. I jumped
upwards and letting my wings do the work, landed on top of the building, a
hundred feet off the ground.
"See you at your house Magnus and you'll have to do the explaining. I did my
part." I jumped away from the building, gliding In the air without any effort.
