For the first time in his life, his fire magic really wasn't helping Christian. Being a Moroi and all meant he had his privileges, he was allowed a personal stash of blood for obvious reasons, but is still wasn't enough.
And of course he was bored
He didn't have Rose or Dimitri with him, they'd seemed to have forgotten him, but that was expected. Christian never really knew what Dimitri thought of him, he was only just getting used to having him as his guardian. And as for Rose, well they accepted each other, he supposed they were friends, but she had more important things now, like looking after Lissa, not only Christian's girlfriend but their queen.
SNAP.
Christian swung round, lighting his hands with fire, 'Who's there' he called.
'Aw man now that isn't fair, why can't I get fire powers' grinned a boy stepping out from the shadows. 'Uriah, of the Divergent tributes' said the boy, presenting his hand to Christian.
'Christian, Vampire Academy' he replied, extinguishing his flames and shaking his hand.
'Allies?'
'Allies.'
'GODDAMMIT THESE DEMONS JUST KEEP ON COMING' shouted Jace, as he killed yet another demon, sending it back to whatever hellish realm it came from.
'I HAVE AN IDEA' Clary shrieked.
'DO IT, I'M USING A LOT OF MAGIC AND IT'S WEAKENING ME' shouted Magnus.
Clary took her stele out of her pocket and began to draw a rune.
'WHICH RUNE IS THAT?' Screamed Jace.
'I'VE NO IDEA' Clary screamed back. 'IT JUST POPPED INTO MY HEAD, SO STAND BACK'
Jace took his seraph blade, killing another demon within a matter of seconds, before standing back next to Magnus.
'OKAY, HERE IT GOES, I THINK THIS WILL CREATE A BARRIER BETWEEN THE DEMONS AND US, THE BARRIER WILL KILL THE DEMONS INSTANTLY AS IT HITS IT.' Clary shrieked, as he hand lit up blue, and a huge wave blasted the three off their feet.
'Did it work?' sighed Jace groggily, brushing leaves off his body and standing up.
'Whoa' they all sighed.
There in front of them was a transparent barrier, the edges electric blue. And beyond the barrier lay a sticky wasteland of ichor and guts.
'Ah lovely' grimaced Jace 'you should do that more often'
'Mmm' Clary sighed 'It's tiring though'
Jace smiled, pulling Clary to him and hugging her. Magnus rolled his eyes and began to walk forward but froze.
'What is it?' Jace called.
'The wizards'
'How do you know?' Clary wondered
'Magicians and Warlocks can always sense when other magicians are near'
'Okay...their weapons?'
'The usual, just their wands'
'Excellent' grinned Jace, heading towards Magnus.
'Wait...Something's' wrong'
Jace groaned 'What now?'
'They're being chased'
'Well I'm not staying around to find ou-'
Jace's words were halted as a ginger haired boy ran into him.
'Oh bloody hell' he sighed, before shouting 'GUYS, it's THE SHADOWHU-'he began, but was halted when a seraph blade was put to his throat, his eyes wide.
'What's happening? What are your intentions?' Jace whispered into his ear.
'Agh crap, we're being attacked b-'
'Please don't tell me Voldemort' groaned Jace.
'No...Worse...Umbridge' he grimaced
Jace's face turned pale 'No, he whispered'
The boy nodded.
'Help us out run her, please; I'm Ron, Hermione's back there and Harry's behind me'
Jace stared at him and then nodded 'I'm Jace, this is Clary and Magnus, he's a warlock.'
But before Ron could reply, Harry popped up next to him, out of breath.
'Jesus, she just won't die, Hermione's still back there' he gasped, before turning rigid, taking his wand out.
'Whoa chill, we're helping you' Clary smiled
'Nice, an alliance eh? Good one Ron, I'm Harry, you must be Jace and Clary'
The two nodded
'No doubt, have you seen this face? It's unforgettable' Jace grinned, but his grin vanished when he heard a girlish scream.
'Oh crap, Umbridge' Ron cried, as Jace cursed under his breath.
'Magnus, can you help us out? Magic her to...The Divergent tributes or something?' Clary smiled
'I'll try'
Magnus stepped forward, his hands in front of him as they lit up blue.
