An Injured Angel Ch1
There are some days when everything seems to have an extra step, another mile to go. Simon's day was quickly becoming one of those. It was an okay day to start, and would have been completely, if Jace had not found the need to have fun. Of course, his version of fun was huntung until he collapssed from exhaustion.
Isabelle had been waiting on the sidewalk outside of the Institiute, not wanting to leave until Jace was back. At this point he had been gone for two hours, even Simon knew that wasnt normal.
"Simon, I think Im going to track him. I would hate to do that but hes never gone this long. He hasnt even made an attempt to contact me." Isabelle had been getting adjitated at Jace a lot lately, and Alec was just hiding in his room all day.
"Izzy, just tell me where to go and ill be there. You know, I can do some things for you." Simon turned towrds her, handing her stele over. "Here, this was sitting on the rail, and I figured you would need it. Just track him down with a rune or whatever."
Isabelle pulled out her stele, drawing a rune on Jaces wallet.
"Is there a reason that he never takes his wallet? I mean dont you need money?"
"Well he was just going for a quick target and kill, so he wouldnt need any of that."
"Oh. Okay."
The rune was now fading on the leather, and Isabelle look at Simon, "Hes in an alley by Java Jones. Can you really go check for me?" She sent a pleading look towards him.
"Of course. Just wait for me to call." With that, Simon was walking towards the alley that he knew so well.
Jace was losing hs ability to keep his eyes open. His mind was swimming. Just as soon as he fell down, Simon ran over.
"Jace what the hell! Why havent you used your stele?"
"I...I did."
"Well, you look like shit. I think you need extra help man, because you look like youre about to pass out." Simon bent down and pick Jace up, his new strength helping a lot. "This fire is quite annoying isnt it? My arms burn already, we need to hurry."
Jace had no response though, his eyes closed, no movement coming from him. As Simon ran down the block, the fire was becoming more and more of a bother.
Finally, the boys were on Magnus' doorstep. Simon set Jace down on the platform, bringing his hand up to ring.
"WHO DARES DISTURB MY REST!" Magnus' voice came out rough and upset.
"Well, its Simon, I uhh-"
Magnus cut him off, sounding incredibly angry, "I have spoken to Alec, and I am not your pet warlock any longer. Good luck finding someone else."
"No, Magnus, please. I have no idea what happened between you two, but this has nothing to do with him. There is someone else here who happens to be dying on your doorstep, and I dont think that you will want to face him when he finds out you didnt help."
"Well then bloodsucker, i guess you will have to bring him on in. Dont you forget, though. I am only doing this, because I am not a cold person. I will be expecting payment, Lewis, and you better not forget about that."
"Alright. I will pay, whatever. I just dont want to lose a frie- someone i have been hanging around for a while."
Magnus opened his door, letting the daylighter in, and to see Mr. Herondale hanging in his grip.
