Two days had passed since the incident with the Demons in which Alex and Derek had saved them, no one had spoke about it again since that day but in that moment been all together gathered in the library Jace couldn't stop thinking about it. He looked at Alex who was talking with her cousin in a whisperer, Jace was dying from the curiosity, he wanted to know Alex's secret because he knew she had one but finding out what was it, was getting harder than he expected.
-I call you to come here.- His mother said pulling him out of his thoughts.- because we have a serious problem in our hands, the humas keep disappearing and demons keep getting stronger for reasons no one knows.-
-Missing as without a trace or missing as, we found their dead bodies?.- Alec asked.
-Missing as we found their dead bodies Alec.- Maryse said.- according to a reliable source, all the people that were found dead were last seen in a building of the low west side of NY, the building is allegedly relied to dark magic.- she told them.- what i want you to do is to go there and found out everything you can about what's going on.-
-And what are we doing here?.- Derek asked
-You two Derek are also going.- Maryse said to him, in that moment Jace heard Alex saying something to her cousin but, when she talked she didn't do it in English, she did it in Greek.
νομίζετε ότι πρέπει να πάμε;.- Alex said
"You think we should go?.-
Εγώ δεν κάνω, αλλά αν πούμε όχι πρόκειται να υποψιάζονται.- Her cousin replied
"I don'r but if we say "no" they are going to suspect.-
Εντάξει, θα προσπαθήσω το καλύτερό μου για να μην κάνει χρήση των εξουσιών μου... πρόκειται να είναι πραγματικά δύσκολο.-
"Okay i'll try my best to not use my powers... it's going to be really hard though.-
Her cousin nodded to whatever she said and then he said to Maryse..
-Fine, we'll get ready.- and that was it, he waited for Alex to get up from her seat and then they left the room.
-Did they just speak in Greek?.- Maryse asked
-Apparently.- Matt said.- And really well also..
-I'll never get tire of saying this.- Jace said to everyone in the room.- What a weird guys.-
Two hours later, in the first hour of the night, they met again all ready to go except for Derek and Alex
-What can took them so long!.- Isabelle started saying when they saw the door getting open and Alex and Derek coming in
-We're ready.- they say at the same time.
Jace watch them, they were wearing the gear just like everybody else but they looked different.. darker, she was wearing high heels boots just as Isabelle and black gloves like her cousin, the handle of a sword was sticking out her right shoulder and a carcaj full with those silver arrows he had seen before sticking out of her left shoulder, a weapons belt and also what it seemed to Jace were daggers embedded in her boots, Derek was the same.. weapons everywhere a sword sticking out of every shoulder weapons belt.. everything. But the thing Jace notice the most was that while they were full of Marks just made she had none.
-So are we leaving or what?.- she asked taking the bow that Derek was giving her and that it was also silver with her name on it.
-Wow, a silver bow.- Alec said amazed.- I never had seen one before.-
-I told you it's not silver.- she said putting the bow in her back with the sword.- are we leaving or not!.- she said annoyed
-If is not silver then what is it?.- Jace asked.- and how is that kills Demons so easily..-
-Oh for the love of Gods..- She said narrowing her eyes.- it's Adamantium, just as the arrows, and it kills demons easily because they're blessed and also have runes graven, happy now? can we leave?.-
-Yes actually, very happy.- Jace said.- let's go.- "Adamantium" thought Jace, first time he heard something like that and he was surprise about it of course, but he was even more surprised for the fact that apparently everything this girl did impressed him and that was not easy to do.
That night, when they returned to the institute, they were tired, dirty, and also very disappointed, the building turned out to be nothing more than a Vampire lair, they had been looking for those vampires but there was no trace of the humans.
-Well that was a waste of time.- Isabelle said
-Don't be like that izzy, look at the bright side, we had been looking for those vampires for a long time.. now the're gone.- Matt said while they went through the institute's gate.
-Wait- Alex suddenly said.- Something's not right in here.-
Everyone went to high alert mode and started to look around..
-Forsakens.- Derek said.- but how did they get here.-
-I don't know.- Jace said.- But they're getting closer.- Jace pull of a knife from his belt and then he heard it.. a women's voice that came from the darkness of where the forsakens were coming.
-Alexandria Blackwell.- The voice said.- we finally found you.-
Jace saw how every muscle in Alex's boy tensed and how she said to them without looking away from the darkness where the voice came
-Go inside the institute, you'll be safe there.-
-Of course we're not leaving, what are you crazy?.- Jace told her
-This is not your problem Herondale, leave!.-
-Alex.- her cousin said.- we are not leaving!.-
-Oh by the Gods.- she said and with an amazing speed she took an arrow from her carcaj and shoot, Jace saw how the arrow flew and nailed in one of the forsakens throat, the forsaken fell on the floor immediately with his head practically rip off.- Fine! but be careful.- and she attacked pulling out more arrows while she break through the forsakens towards the voice.
"Be Careful" Jace thought "like there's any chance that something is seriously going wrong and that phrase.. by the gods who says that! i never heard a shadowhunter said that before"
In a couple of minutes all the fosakens were gone, so they got close to where Alex was...
-Who are u and what do u want with me!.- Alex said to the darkness
The person that spoke before got closer to them, and Jace was able to see what was it and that it had two other things on each side.. "They look like vampires" said Jace to himself "But a really ugly version of it"
-Empusas.- Alex whispered
-Empusas?.- Jace said.- aren't those a demons from the Greek mythology?.-
-Shut up Jace!.- Alec snapped at him
-What do you want with me!.- Alex yelled at the creature, Jace looked at her.. she didn't stopped turning around that ring she always was wearing.
-Well, and here i was... thinking that your brother had spoke to you about me.- the creature said laughing.- and what i want isn't that obvious? Kill u of course.-
-Brother? What the hell is going on!.- Jace asked but no one replied him..
-You.. you're Kelly.. my brother did speak to me about you.. he told me he kill you the last time you saw each other.-
-Oh yeah.. lucky for me i regenerate very fast.-
-You're the responsible for the dead humans don't you? Why?.-
-Of course i am sweety, we needed to eat and also get you out of your hiding place but they only sent this other idiots.. So i have to keep doing it until you show up.-
-What makes you think that you're not going to end up dead this time too?.- Alex said.- There are six of us and only three of you now that the forsakens are gone, and btw how is it that u are working with them?.-
-Oh honey you don't need to know that.. and about the other.. what makes you think that we're alone.- the creature said pointing to the sky.
-What the hell are those things!.- Isabelle said
-Furies.- Alex said cursing in ancient Greek.- Leave now!.- she said to Jace and the others
-Did you just cursed in Greek?.- Matt said
-Are u kidding me? hell is going on her and just said that?.. and you..-Jace said to Alex.- Leave? yeah right like that's gonna happen.- he took a seraph blade from his belt but before he could give it a name Alex took his hand.
-Don't bother.. the Angels swords won't work.-
-So Alexandria are you ready to play.- The creature said showing her teeth
Alex took the sword she had on her back said.- Game on.- and she attacked with her cousin by her side.
-What are we supposed to do!.- Matt yelled
-Help them.- Jace said taking a dagger a dagger.. he ran directly to another of the creatures, this one move incredibly fast and took him by the back moving his neck with what it seemed was the intention of bite him, with the strength of his body weight he turned around the creature leaving it in the floor, he stab it with the dagger and he thought it would vanish like any other demon but no.. the thing just became gold sand dust and then it disappeared.
-Well that's new.- Jace said with surprise
-Jace behind you!.- he heard Alec, that had took Alex's bow and arrows and was shooting to one of the furies that now was flying fast towards him, warn him. Jace got up from the floor and taking his dagger he prepared for the impact, he was just about to jump when someone push him out of the beast way.
-Are you insane?.- Alex yelled him breathing rapidly.- you'll never win a furie with that little thing.-
Jace was going to yelled her back, when he heard Derek that still was fitting with the Empusa named Kelly call Alex.
-Alex!.- he said with despair.- The ring! Use the ring!.-
-The ring? what does that mean?.- Jace asked
-Dammit, Dammit.- she said getting up from the floor, she took the ring out of her finger and closing her eyes and whispering something she throw it in the ring in the air, just when Jace was beginning to think she was crazy he saw it.. the ring became a glowing bow and a carcaj full with arrows that seemed of bronze and had a trident as a symbol graven on it.. Alex took two arrows and shoot, the arrows flew directly to the creature that Matt and Izzy were fighting causing it to disintegrate immediately.. she took three more arrows and did the same but this time pointing to one of the furies, the arrows nail their target and the furie disappeared.
-Now there's only you.- Alex said to the empusa that Derek was still fighting, she started to run towards them but before she could make it, a furie attack her by the back and she fell on the ground.
-Alex!.- Derek yelled and ran to her letting the empusa escape.
When Jace and the others arrive to where Alex was and saw what happened, Derek was already making an iratze on his cousin's back, they saw she had a really profound and red wound with the form of claws there, Derek finished the rune and he pulled away a little but instead of closing the wounds the iratze just disappeared.
-Alex, it's not working the rune doesn't work.- Derek said with despair in his voice
-What's going on? why it's not working?.- Jace heard Matt asked.
-Derek the water.. use the water.- Alex said between breathings, Derek ran to the fount that was on the garden and took a bit of water with a water can he found there and then he ran back to where they were.
-What are you crazy? we have to take her inside and call the Silent Brothers.- Jace said
-Izzy go tell mom quickly, I'll call Magnus.- Alec said to his sister, but Derek didn't listened to them we has putting the water on Alex's wounds.
-It's not working Alex!.- He yelled, and in a last breath she said to him.
-Percy.. Dere, you need.. to call Percy.- and then she Blacked out.
