-Rose POV-

I landed in a heap on top of Dimitri. I heard him groan as my full weight fell on him. I shot up from him and held out my hand. "I'm sorry!" I said quickly. It had only been recently that we had stopped denying that we had feelings for each other, but we still tried to stay away from each other; which is something that doesn't always work out.

He let me pull me to his feet, his hand lingering in mine for a few seconds before he finally pulled away. He looked around and our eyes widened as we both took in the scene before us. There were bodies everywhere. Creatures were gruesomely bloodied and torn apart on the ground. Men that had their heads torn off and their bodies bent at awkward angles. Wolves that lay with their eyes open, staring at nothing. I put my hand over my mouth. "Oh my God." I whispered.

Jace came up behind me. "This isn't even the half of it," he said, his voice low and angry. I looked out further and saw men fighting alongside wolves. Creatures that would come out of the most fearsome nightmares were fighting against them.

"Alec, come on." Isabelle said as she took her brothers hand and started leading him into the heart of battle.

"So this is what you really do? All the time." Dimitri asked with a note of respect in his voice. "That's a lot to handle."

Jace shrugged, "This is what we've known since we were born. It's what we do. What we were created to do." He did a complete look around and gave a frustrated low growl.

Suddenly there was movement next to me and I was flung into a tree with a force that rivaled Strigoi. "Rose!" I heard Dimitri call. I let out a small cry and then got to my feet. I waved off his worry and jogged back over and got ready to fight.

"No." Jace said as he took out seraph blades and lunged for the demon. He killed it fairly swiftly. He beheaded it as he jumped onto its back from behind. He used both blades to cut from both sides.

"You guys are going to the Hall of Accords where you will be safe until this fighting is over. Before you try and object, you are here to observe and you can do it from there. Your weapons are not made to kill demons and you'll only get yourself killed trying to fight. Seraph blades are the only thing that can kill most demons." Jace said as he started tugging us along in the direction of the bright city.

"Why don't you give us seraph blades to fight with?" I asked and he stopped to look at me raising his eyebrows at me.

"You can't use them," he said. "Shadowhunters are the only ones that can touch them. Everyone else gets burned. Just like only Shadowhunters can use the runes and anyone else that uses them turns into a forsaken warrior or dies. The angel blood protects us."

I pondered this for a moment. "Well, maybe our stakes can harm them. They aren't just silver. They are infused with Moroi magic and burn Strigoi when they're touched with it. Maybe it will do something similar to demons," I said hopefully.

Jace seem to think about this for a moment. "Alright, it's worth a shot. Here comes a demon. Why don't you try it out." He stood back and let me get my shots in at the demon. I smiled hoping that this would work and that we could be useful to them.

It lunged for my neck, but I fended it off with my stake. I sliced at the demons arm just to see if the stake would work. I got the desired result. The demon reared back letting out an earsplitting inhuman screech. I cringed at the sound, but quickly recovered and went straight for its throat. I felt it cut through flesh and odd green blood poured from the gash. In one last attempt at killing me it stood up on hind legs and tried crashing down onto me. Its sharp jagged teeth snapped inches from my face as I dodged out of the way with dhampir speed.

I wasn't even out of breath as I looked back at Dimitri and he gave me an approving smile – one of his genuine smiles. I smiled back at him and sheathed my stake.

"Well. It seems you may be of some use to us after all," Jace noted, clearly surprised that our weapons worked. "Come along, then," he said as he started running looking for something else to kill. Dimitri and I followed close behind.

I had a feeling it wouldn't take long to get separated in chaos like this.
