Chapter 02: Save Me/Save Us
Once everyone had settled, albeit squashed into the living room of Bill's manor. Kali set about trying to get everyone in order. She had a feeling that it was going to be difficult, after all she had managed to get – vampires, werewolves, witches, a warlock and demon-hunters all in the same room.
"Have you done the introductions, my Lady?" Magnus smirked, looking to her – Alec raised an eyebrow at him. "Sorry, she can be considered some what a Lady in that she equals my powers to an extent,"
"Magnus," Kali said shortly, glaring at him. "We are in the house of William 'Bill' Compton," she motioned to Bill who sat in his chair. "Bill, either you take that staunch look off of your face, or you return to sleep."
"Kali, the activity...it's back," this time it was Caleb who spoke, looking at the older girl from where he was standing.
"Caleb's right," Reid agreed with him, his eyes going black as he spoke and then back to normal.
"Dean, Sam! Sit your asses down. I know to you a possessed being's eyes go black – it is not the case with Caleb, Pogue, Reid and Tyler. Their eyes go black when they use their power and when they sense someone using," Kali said using her own power to stop Sam and Dean from moving. "Now I'm going to continue with my introductions. Reid Garwin and Caleb Danvers are the two boys that both just spoke," Reid and Caleb nodded their heads. "Sam and Dean Winchester – the men who are currently unable to move because of me," She stuck her tongue out at them. "Pogue Parry and Tyler Simms over there, the three sisters are Piper, Phoebe and Paige Halliwell,"
"Why have you brought so many different people here?" Bill questioned, looking towards and then glancing outside wondering why the spell she'd cast hadn't dropped yet.
"Like I said, there is something killing all of our kinds across the country-side," she stated once again before she finished off with her introductions.
"Magnus said that you could help us..." this time it was Clary Fray who spoke, she hadn't really said much since they had walked through the portal.
"He did, did he?" Kali shot Magnus a look before she spoke to Clary again. "I can, but you have to be very patient," she told the teenager before motioning for her to sit down. 'Magnus, you have some explaining to do,'
"How are we to deal with this problem?" Damon spoke, looking around the room as he realised that they had all come from very different times.
'Kali, the girl Clary - her brother is Jonathan Morgenstern - he has demon blood running through his veins. Jace is the one that she wants - her one true love - they have the blood of the Angel Raziel,' Magnus spoke silently with Kali, it was one advantage they had.
'I may be able to help but I'm not certain, they'll have to tell me exactly what happened in order for me to be able to help fully,' she replied taking a deep breath before she spoke again. 'They need to know that he may not be the same person,'
'He has already changed - they can sense it. Who do you need for it to work?' Magnus queried, looking silently at the four teenagers that had come with him.
'His parabatai - don't look so shocked I know their origins,' Kali looked at Magnus and then gestured towards Alec. "Alec, could you come with me. For this to work I need your complete co-operation," she paused and spoke again. "You're his parabatai - the bond you have with him is stronger than the one he has with Clary,"
"How do you know about the parabatai?" Isabelle questioned, pulling Clary back as the young girl had started to movie. "Clary, it's best not to argue with her," she had heard a few rumours and wondered if they were true.
"I know your mother Maryse - I also stayed at the institute a long time ago to study...yes I'm a witch but not your typical one, I have some of the marks and training of the Shadowhunters," Kali explained pulling up a sleeve to reveal one of the same markings as Isabelle and Alec had. "Alec - hold out your arm, I need to make a small rune type making on the inside of your wrist,"
"I thought only those born of the angel could bear the markings?" Alec questioned, doing exactly what she said as everyone else stood as still as they could.
"One of the small exceptions, my parents are both Nephilim, shadowhunters,"
Kali made the marking on Alec's wrist and then closed her eyes, before opening them and drawing her hand slowly away from Alec's wrist and making the marking seemingly rise from his skin. After pulling the marking from his wrist she spun it around and enlarged it as though she was examining it through a microscope. A second later and she had shrunk the image and was placing it back where she had marked it.
"I want Damon, Dean and Sam to stand guard outside I feel as though things may go a little south," Kali said suddenly as she took a deep breath and then continued.
"What did you just see?" Phoebe questioned, out all the Halliwells she had to have been one of the more inquisitive sisters.
"Everything, the marking I gave Alec just now showed me everything I need to know in order to bring Jace here...I need everyone on their guard. Clary, listen to me, I know you love Jace. But and this is a big but, I want you to stay with the Paige, Paige if there's any trouble you two need to orb straight up to the next floor. Clary I don't care about your ability to create runes right now," Kali stated she had to make them all understand just how hard this could be. "I saw when you talked with Magnus and Alec and your mother about different dimensions..."
"You saw all of that in a symbol?" Isabelle questioned looking to Magnus as she spoke and then glancing at Clary who suddenly had a young woman with hair like hers taking her hand.
"I did, Alec's parabatai rune enhanced it...it is also what I will be using to draw Jace here," Kali took a deep breath, and looked at Alec who was slightly taller than her. "Izzy, come stand with your brother. Your strength will help him," Alec and Isabelle looked at one another and then at her.
"Iz, use your stele and start the rune on me and finish it on you," Alec had understood that was what she meant for them to do. "Here put your arm next to mine and do it here," he pointed to the inside of his wrist above where Kali had done the marking.
"Very good, now both of you need to stand still. What I'm about to do could get rocky...Everyone please do as I asked, you need to be prepared for anything. Damon, Dean and Sam get your butt's outside right now," Kali was close to yelling at all of them. "Reid, go with them. Make sure that they're ready," Reid nodded and motioned for the older men to follow him. 'Let the parabatai's be brought together. Parabatai binds are stronger that life. The good in one brings out the good in the other. I call Jace Herondale forth from wherever he is in time and space. Bring him now to where I stand for those who love him need him now. Parabatai binds be stronger now. Magnus you need to say this as I say it for it to work, we are stronger than the Halliwells and of Caleb, Tyler, Reid and Pogue.'
'As you wish my lady. What else do we need?' Magnus looked to Kali and nodded, watching as Kali suddenly had the Morgenstern ring in her hand.
"How?" Clary put her hand to her throat and realised that the ring wasn't there.
"One of my many powers," Kali replied, everyone's eyes were on her as she spoke. It was exactly as she expected. "I need three white candles and two purple and a red. And then 6 rocks of the same size," Everyone looked at her like she was crazy when she said what she needed.
Within seconds of what Kali had wished for Caleb and Tyler had pulled the candles from their bags. They had somehow put them in with out thinking about it. Paige made 6 rocks of the same size appear in a small pile at Kali's feet. Kali made two swift movements of her hand and the candles and the rocks had formed a star around her and the Lightwoods and the candles flames flickered to life.
"Magnus, in a moment we shall begin. Alec and Izzy I want you both to take a deep breath," Kali told them pulling her her back off her face and allowing for them to see a small rune tattooed on the side of her neck.
"Let the parabatai's be brought together. Parabatai binds are stronger that life. The good in one brings out the good in the other. I call Jace Herondale forth from wherever he is in time and space. Bring him now to where I stand for those who love him need him now. Parabatai binds be stronger now," Kali and Magnus spoke in time, their words sounding smooth and as though it was only one person speaking. 'Alec as soon as the doorway opens I want to you speak to Jace he'll be able to hear you. Now, don't say anything until it opens you'll see it and be only one to be able' Kali spoke in her mind to Alec while she continued to repeat the phrasing with Magnus.
Alec glanced around him and noticed that everyone was perfectly still, including Isabelle who had a firm grip on him ensuring that if he were to fall that she would be able to catch him. He looked ahead of him and noticed that a light was appearing before him, one that hadn't been there before. "Jace," Alec only said his name he didn't know what else to say.
'Alec, talk to him like he's your brother. Tell him that you miss him and that you need to see him,' This time Magnus' voice had entered his mind. 'Don't be scared, just talk to him. Convince him to walk through the doorway,'
"Jace, I miss talking to you – well going and sparring and all the things we used to do. I know that deep down you do too," Alec prayed that what he saying was getting through to him, that he would step through the doorway. "Please – I never thought I would say please. But the rune to mend a broken heart is the most painful one," it was those words that managed to get Jace to step through the doorway.
As soon as the young boy had stepped through Magnus and Kali extinguished the candles and Alec had all but collapsed into Isabelle. Clary went to move but was stopped by Paige who still had her by the arm. Jace looked around him – he didn't know where he was.
'Clary, stay where you are. Please. Just trust me.' Kali spoke to her quietly as she had Isabelle move Alec to the lounge but not before she gently took hold of Jace's arm. "I know that you're quite confused, but we needed to you come to talk to us," Kali smiled gently at him, not removing her arm as Jace went to try and flip her. "You can try, but I wouldn't," she told him sharply. 'Sam has Castiel arrived? We need to use his angel blade,'
"Jace, it's okay. She doesn't want to hurt you. She wants to help we all do, that's why you came," Clary said quietly from where she was standing. "Do you trust me?"
"I do," they were the only words that Jace spoke, his golden eyes closing as he looked at Clary before collapsing much like Alec had done.
"Move him to the couch, beside Alec and show me where the mark Lilith made is," Kali said, Magnus nodded and motioned for Simon to move and help him. After they successfully moved him to the couch it was only then that Kali allowed for Clary to move – only if Paige did too. Alec couldn't think where the mark was and Kali could see it on his face. "Clary, come and show me where the mark is,"
Clary moved with Paige close behind her, keeping a watchful eye on the young girl. "Here above his heart," she pointed before she looked up at Kali.
"Thank you, just stand back for a moment," Kali thanked her and then carefully unbuttoned the shirt that Jace was wearing and made a small cut in the rune which jolted Jace awake. "Easy, Jace."
"Lady Kali," he remembered meeting her once when he was younger. "Clary, Alec...what happened to Alec?" he looked to his side and saw him still passed out.
"He's okay. Jace, what is he planning?" Clary asked, she wanted to know exactly what Sebastien was planning. They all did. "How do you know her?"
"Not now Clary," Kali scolded the young girl before she looked to Jace again. "Jace, can you please tell us?"
"He wants the world to be pure - but his idea of pure is twisted," he replied, Kali looked at Clary and rolled her eyes motioning for the young girl to go to Jace.
"I can only hold the rune apart for so long before it starts to repair itself," Kali told them before she walked off and into one of the corners motioning for Magnus, Tyler, Caleb, and Pogue to follow her. Reid was still off outside following her orders.
In the corner of the room Kali stood talking to the four warlocks, she had known them for longer than what she had known the Halliwell sisters. Piper, Phoebe and Paige started to wonder why they had been brought across the country side - that was until Phoebe pointed out that their abilities set them apart.
"Magnus, I can't hold the rune apart for much longer before it starts healing itself. And the boys, they don't have the ability to do it," Kali took a deep breath, now she was trying to not let all the magic drain her.
"How long can you make it last?" Magnus questioned, the same thing was sitting on the tips of everyone's tongue.
"Maybe another five minutes at the most, I've asked the Winchesters to contact an Angel they know," as soon as Kali said those words, she could feel that Alec would be over to them. "Alec, just stay there. I'll explain in a moment." she said without looking behind her, she had heard the sound of him standing up. "There's an Angel called Castiel, he's a friend of Sam and Dean's. He is very much in love with humanity,"
"An angel in love with Humanity?" this time it was Caleb who spoke. Vampires, demons, werewolves all of this was very new to them. They knew that witches and warlocks existed, because they had been born that way.
"Yes, this one takes a corporeal form. He has a human host," Kali explained, looking behind them to see that everyone was staring at Jace. 'Fuck Magnus, we need to be prepared - Sebastien's demons will soon do his bidding. The magic keeping Lilith's rune apart is wearing thin it's starting to heal.' Kali spoke quickly and silent to Magnus who nodded. "Paige, be prepared to take Clary, Elena, Jeremy and wait a minute...who is he?" she had only just noticed Simon standing alone.
"Simon, he's a fledgling vampire...he has the Mark of Cain...and he's my best-friend," Clary spoke looking to Kali as she did. She was still near Jace, his hand wrapped tightly around hers.
"Take Simon as well to another area of the house, please. Simon stop trying to protest, if the Winchester brothers learn that you're only a fledgling they will try to harm you," Kali told them, she didn't need that. "Yes, I'm aware of the Mark of Cain, that's why I'm asking well telling you what has to be done,"
Stefan had brought Elena and Jeremy inside the house, figuring that it was much safer in than out. Isabelle had stood up next to Alec and was watching Jace with Alec. Alec was was watching as the rune healed itself. They knew that once it was healed Sebastien would turn up.
"Sam and Dean Winchester if that friend of yours doesn't turn up soon we will lose," Kali shouted making sure that she could be heard outside. "Jace, keep in mind that we are trying to help you," she whispered watching as the last of Lilith's rune healed.
"Alec, Izzy stand aside," Piper spoke this time, Alec shook his head looking at the older woman as she spoke. "If you don't move I may accidentally freeze you too," Piper wasn't sure what would happen when she used her powers, she also didn't know what effect it would have on vampires among other creatures especially the good.
"Hey Paige, be ready to send Clary down when I tell you to," Paige nodded before she orbed the 4 teenagers to the higher levels of the manor.
"He wants to know why you need him?" Dean questioned, from outside a window where he could see into the manor.
"For the use of his Angel Blade," Kali told Dean, Dean shook his head as Castiel spoke to him.
"He wants no part in this," Dean paused before he continued. "Something about you having no right,"
'Castiel! I have every right - as do these children,' she spoke in a way that only he could hear what she was saying. 'They have the blood of the angel Raziel running through them, the Lightwoods, Herondales, Morgensterns and Fairchilds,' she had known Clary's mother's maiden name without her having to say it.
"Hello Sebastien," Kali said as the teenage boy appeared before them and Jace stood up.
"How do you know who I am?" he questioned, he didn't know that she had watched him grow up like she had most of the people in the room – some of the vampires excluded.
"I know a lot," was all Kali said as she closed her eyes and severed Jace's connection with Sebastien again. 'Jace, don't say anything to us. I've severed the connection to Sebastien but he still thinks it's there. There is only so long that I can keep it apart.'
