I was confused now, "How? How will you help, how will I help them?" Alex seem to think of this, "Clary our powers work in strange ways, only when you know of it will
you learn to use it, and with you we can travel to Rome, it is in the depth of the sand that our Kingdom lies, we must talk to them to learn of the Death Angels for
even I don't know where their Kingdom lies." This can't be happening; there must be an easier way to fine the twin. "What about Father? And will the rulers have the
same fears of me helping the Death Angels?" Alex seemed to realize my fears, he seems unsure now as he spoke, "I cannot be sure of that, but we can leave without
revealing our identities but.." I felt growing apprehensive, this was too dangerous, "No Alex, that journey is too long and too dangerous, we have to find Kat and
Dan; the...the visit to the Kingdom is too dangerous, they could imprison me, and the elders are too powerful, we wouldn't be able to fool them." Alex's face looked
thoughtful, trying to come up with something. "Clary you have to realize that we don't know where to look for them." I shook my head, finally feeling a spark of hope,
"Alex we do have a lead, they must have been here this night, they could not have gotten far unless...unless they used a portal." Alex thought before he answered
me, "The ashes, that means someone is able to use fire, a Dark Angel with the ability to use fire or heat at night, so they must be powerful, but...but that seems too
obvious if there was a earth shifter, unless......unless there was no earth shifter and the burnt grass might be an indication of an track on your friends." I refused to
think of Kat and Dan being hurt, instead I concentrated on the lead that we have so far and desperately held on to my hope. My heart pounded as I began to speak
my next revelation, "So they must be on foot, unless there was also another earth binder." Alex's face mirrored mine with revelation, "Unless there is another portal
for them to walk to. But it still seems too obvious. They must have burnt something important because an experienced fire user would not be so careless as to leave a
burnt mark on the ground, but we must go there to find out other wise." I nodded my head agreeing but I needed to know one more thing, "Alex what...what is your
um power?" Alex seemed intrigued by my question, as he answered, "I can manipulate the wind, air to do
to my liking." I nodded my head energy burning in me to find Dan and Kat, "How are we going to get out of here?" Dan considered my question, looking around the
room, and finally his eyes came to a stop on the large windows. "Oh through the window, that is the only way." I followed Alex to the large glass window and for the
first time saw him take out a sharp thin needle like knife of some sort, slowly drawing on the grass, and suddenly I heard the glass fall leaving an opening. I stuck my
head out the window seeing the glass floating as Alex carefully lowered it onto the lawn below. I saw the Alex's sudden loss of energy but he recovered quickly.
"Clary I want you to hold on to me alright and step out the window." I nodded, following Alex's lead as he stepped out through the opening to stand on the ledge.
Alex pulled me closer, holding onto my waist. Alex seemed to concentrate and I felt a shift in the air. Holding onto my waist, Alex suddenly whispered, "Clary jump." I
stepped onto the thin air. I could feel the wind swirling below our feet, gently lowering us to the ground. I let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding as we
dropped the last few feet onto the ground. Alex laughed, "I didn't think you would trust me." I simply shook my head, denying. We quickly ran to Alex's car, and we
were driving fast back to the woods near the Hotel. Neither of us talked during the ride; both of us wondering if there will be others still at the location, and if we
needed to fight them. Alex parked near the hotel and saw the police cars still there but they were in the hotel not anywhere near the clearing.
Alex and I got out the car, sprinting across the garden into the field, and saw the figure standing near the clearing, their head was bent and we knew it certainly
wasn't a human. The long cloak was completely covering their face. I felt Alex straightening beside me drawing on the wind around us. And then the figure almost
blending into the darkness moved. HOW IS THE STORY SO FAR? HORRIBLE? BAD? OKEY? GOOD? DON'T FORGET TO COMMENT/REVIEW- dEaThAnGLE ^_^
