A/N: Okay guys, this is my first attempt at a TMI fanfic and I'm really hoping you guys like it. This chapter is a bit short, but I plan on making this story a bit longer with adding more chapters based on the reviews and how many of you read this. So, I hope you enjoy and thanks in advance for reading this.
"Magnus, it's only a routine demon-hunt. I go on them all the time," Alec says as he feels Magnus' breath against his neck. He could feel the worry pulsating off of him, blue sparks of worry.
"But I don't want you to go. Something could happen and I'd have to come and save your life again like what happened with Abbadon. Remember?" Magnus states then wraps his arms around Alec's torso. His neon pink glittered face was tinted with sadness to see his Shadowhunter go. Every time his blue-eyed boy walked through his door battered and bruised from the most recent hunt, another piece of his heart broke off. But he knew he couldn't prevent the Shadowhunter from doing what he was born to do. Protect his family and kill demons.
"Don't worry, Mags, I'll be right back. Like always," Alec replies then offers a smile before giving him a quick kiss and walking out into the New York city scape wearing his usual black clothes which only made his unnatural blue eyes bluer.
~X...x...X~
The dark streets of New York were quiet, unlike other nights where people were shouting and almost running you over. But as soon as I got to the subway station, a text from Magnus came through with a sparkly sounding ringtone.
Where are you, babe?
Already worrying, typical Magnus. But he seemed even more worried about this time. It wasn't like I was off to fight a Greater Demon again.
On the subway. And I thought you agreed to not call me "babe".
There were a few more exchanges between us and the final being "call me as soon as you're done. No matter what time it is." That alone made me smile; sometimes I liked not being the one who had to be protective. After a short while, I got off the train and took just a short walk to the Institute where I was greeted by Church. He led me to the library where Robert, Jace and Isabelle were discussing battle strategies.
Izzy flashed one of her award winning smiles as I came into the room. She was probably wondering where I had been these past few weeks since I'd been sleeping at Magnus' apartment. But Jace only looked over for a fleeting moment before beginning to talk to Robert again; who didn't even bother to acknowledge my existence.
I stood by the end of the table closest to the door quietly while listening to their strategies. Ravener demons had overrun a certain portion of upper Manhattan, but there were also a few Ahiab demon sightings. But we didn't know for sure, there were only faint traces from victims. Being the Shadowhunters we are though, we got up and got our weapons before heading straight out to fight. We were all marked with fresh runes like strength, agility and stamina to fight.
~X...x...X~
Once we got to the area, we drew our weapons. Jace with his angel blades, Izzy with her whip and me with my bow, a few throwing knives stuck in my pockets if I had need of them. We saw the Raveners come out of the darkness of the alley first. I raised my bow and fired off an arrow or two to kill the first before Jace and Izzy swung into battle. The first wave was killed in less than five minutes and we had little time to rest before the next came. I hung back and shot arrows at oncoming Raveners as Izzy and Jace slashed and sliced them down if they got too close.
Izzy was as graceful as ever wielding her whip, dark hair flinging side to side in her ponytail as she turned quickly to snatch a demon out of the air with the whip. Jace lept from demon to demon, a ghost of a smile on his lips from the thrill of the fight. He always thought these were just the best things in the world. But not for me, I always had to look out for him and Izzy if (for some unknown reason) a demon snuck past their vision. But as the battle continued, thankfully, that was not the case. The flow of Raveners slowly dwindled and we were all breathing pretty heavily. My parabatai turned to give me a smile as he always did in these skirmishes, but it faded quickly. His gaze slid from my face to the space over my shoulder and I saw him go rigid for a moment before springing into action. But time slowed as I saw the shadow of an Ahiab demon loom from behind me. I barely had time to turn before it knocked me to the ground with its scaled hand, depriving me of air for an innumerable amount of seconds.
It slithered its huge lizard-like body over me and hissed, flicking its disgusting ichor coated tongue out to taste the air before me. The demons tusks also dripped with ichor which made sizzling sounds as it fell to my clothing and burned at the points where it dropped onto my bare skin. As quick as lightning, its scorpion-like tail whipped down to stab into my abdomen while its front claws scraped across my chest. I figured time had actually slowed by now, I could still hear faint yells from Jace and Izzy. But I had just realized I still had an arrow in my hand, my bow had been lost some time when I had been knocked to the ground.
With the most strength I could muster, I rolled to the side and jabbed my arrow up and through the demons lower jaw. Causing it to howl in pain and rear off of me. My siblings were on top of the thing as it howled, slicing and cutting it to oblivion as I collapsed back onto the pavement, blood pooling around my chest. Quickly though, I felt hands on me and the burn of a stele carving what was most likely an iratze into my skin. Voices were far off now and I had no idea where I was. Faces blurred and finally, darkness pulled me under.
