"Stare at the dark too long and you will eventually see what isn't there."

"Jace!" I heard Alec shout behind me and I quickly turned, drawing out my blade. A demon advanced on me, its vicious fangs dripping black venom. I grimaced in disgust, noticing that this one was uglier than the rest, with gruesome tentacles protruding from its eyes.

I announced, "Nakir!" and my seraph blade shone bright, gleaming like a column of silver fire in my hand. Its sharp edge sank straight into the demon's hind. It screeched wildly, flailing around until an arrow shot by Alec sent it disappearing to whatever horrific place it came from.

"I think that's the last of them, guys!" Isabelle called out from a few feet away, her whip snaking back up her arm after she'd just dispatched a Shax demon. She joined me and Alec and we each got to work healing each other with our steles. Just when Alec was drawing me an iratze in deep concentration, Isabelle spoke.

"Where do you think that horde came from, anyway?" I shrugged, brushing my blonde hair out of my eyes while Alec made an impatient noise, irritated at me moving.

"Don't know, don't care," I muttered, and received a glare from Isabelle, "What? We came here to kill them Izzy. Not to find out why they were on their way to Grandma Lou's Sunday dinner." Alec snorted, having finished my rune and stood next to me.

Isabelle rolled her eyes, "Shut up Jace. I just think it's kind of weird that a whole group of demons just happened to appear in the middle of Brooklyn. And by the Institute." I just shrugged again, and pocketed my seraph blade. She continued on relentlessly, "It's fishy. Alec, don't you think so?"

We both turned towards him and he went red, looking flustered as he fiddled with the quiver of one of his arrows, "Uh, well it doesn't seem that big of a deal…" I smirked at Isabelle triumphantly as she rolled her eyes, pushing past me and Alec and began to walk back to the Institute.

"Wait up Izzy! Don't want the wind to mess up your perfect hair, do you?" I called to her and she looked over her shoulder to glare at me. I just grinned, running up to join her, Alec just behind me. She pursed her lips, staying silent, and I put a hand around her shoulder and pulled her closer to me playfully, "Aw, come on Izzy! Don't give me the silent treatment; you know you love me!" She was still silent but her scowl had been replaced with a rueful smile.

I reached out to ruffle her hair but she stopped me with her piercing gaze and threatening words, "If you even think about, it will be the last thing you do." I laughed, and let go of her when we reached the door to the Institute. Alec opened it and we all walked inside, dropping our weapons in the foyer.

Isabelle went straight up to her room, probably about to preen in a mirror whereas Alec stayed near me, hovering around uncertainly. When he followed me into the kitchen I said, "Don't you have anything to do Alec?" It came out blunter than I'd intended and Alec went bright red.

"Well, uh… yeah but…" I fought the urge to smile and walked over to the fridge, pulling out some unfinished take-out from last night. I sat on the counter, my legs swinging as Alec stood in the doorway awkwardly, "I just… No, I don't." He finally confessed and I bit my lip to stop myself smiling.

"Well, we can go to Taki's in a minute, after we've put our gear away?" I offered, slurping up some noodles. Alec's whole face lit up.

"Yeah! I mean, sure we can do that." He ran out of the kitchen and up the stairs to his room and I grinned. I really loved my siblings, living with them, fighting alongside them. We'd always have each other, no one would be more important in my life.

Or so I thought.
