It's dusty; the walls are uncovered rough stone and every step they take they descend further into the darkness of this tomb. Her eyes flick around, not used to such darkness. She looks around but she doesn't see anything much worth noting, somehow not feeling scared 'cause as soon as she had stepped through those gates and they shut behind her she was ready to accept whatever fate waits for her.

Right now she's really looking without seeing, blindly following Jace's lead while being guided by Alec's hand that still has not left her back, still square between in the center of her shoulder blades, only dropping as the trio slow in their path and Alec looks at her. She has this look on her face, so calm and sure of herself which makes him question how sure he is. Honestly he didn't want to let her come into to the city of bones, to see the silent brothers but he knew why she doing this, he even understood her reason but that doesn't mean he likes it. He would have been happy letting the redhead run in here and do it but he knows that if something we to go wrong it would destroy the brunette twin. He can't let that happen and he doesn't know why. It's confusing, she's confusing.

Alec shakes his head, trying to clear the thoughts from his mind as the blond shadowhunter slows down, almost stopping in his footsteps causing the others to do the same. His hand drops completely from Katy's back as she moves closer to the blond; curious as to what he is doing he reaches into his pocket. Alec wonders to the other side of his adoptive brother as the blond pulls out a stone. It glows in his hand as he lifts it up, lighting up their way and Katy, tilts her head looking from the rock to him curiously.

"What is that?" She asks, looking the blond who speaks up.

"It's a witch light." Jace informs her as Alec watches the intrigued look on the girl's soft face. She's about to ask another question but he speaks up instead, drawing attention to him.

"We carry it to remind us light can be found in even the darkest of place." He speaks up thoughtfully, with a slight shrug as he subtly watches her reaction to that bit of information. A small smile creeps onto her lips slowly as she thinks that over, nodding gently and slightly.

"I like that." She admits in a thoughtful and pleased tone, voice hardly above a whisper. It's the way she says it that has him smiling before he catches himself doing it before shaking his head because…just….her. The trio all stop in their steps a moment later as they reach a statue of an angel in armor holding a chalice of sorts. Katy furrows her brow because it kind of looks familiar. She tilts her head as a wondrous and clueless look plays on her features.

"Is that the mortal cup?" She asks, trying to place or think why it looks so familiar but she can't which frustrates her a bit.

"Yeah, It is."

"A stone, statue of it anyway." Alec shrugs and her lips twitch up before her eyes drag down the length of the statue and she notice the Latin writing etched into the stone. Her eyes dart over the lettering before looking to Alec.

"I don't speak much Latin." She admits to him and he just looks at her, raising his eyebrows at her not knowing why she just said that.

"Okay?" He drags out the word, prompting her to elaborate and she slumps slightly, giving him a look.

"What does it say?..Please." She rephrases it looking at him much like she does when Simon completely misses the point of something also making it sound obvious that's what she meant. Alec rolls his eyes, acting like this is a big task which Jace watches on amused. Alec's eyes flick to the stone for a second then back to her with some humor glinting in his eyes.

"It the shadowhunter creed." The raven haired hunter tells her, meeting her soft, curious eyes before his eyes flick back over to the stone as he continues.'Looking better in black than the widows of our enemies.'" He 'quotes' the writing, smirk growing on his lips and she shakes her head letting out an amused huff before looking back to him.

"I don't speak much latin, but I'm pretty sure that's not what that says." She speaks softly, smile gracing her lips, looking amused and now expecting a truthful response from Alec but his eyes glint amusement and he smiles teasingly. A laugh falls from her lips as she shakes her head before looking to the blonde Can you please tell me." She asks Jace tilting her head back slightly as she turns her face slightly to meet his eyes as her body is face away from him. Jace just shrugs and briefly looks over to the writing before back to her eyes.

"Alec's right. We do look much better in black then they do." Jace agrees, smirk dancing on her lips, voice full of confidence and her face falls at not getting an answer so she whips around, looking between them both.

"Seriously?" She sighs, looking between the brothers who lock eyes and chuckle, amused with each other. Katy's eyes roll but she is amused despite herself as she looks to the raven haired male. He looks at her, right now none of them are fearing whats ahead, a short break of the havoc their lives are quickly turning into. He has this smug look on his face and she crosses her arms over her chest, just looking at him before breaking. "Pretty please, just tell me." She asks him, voice going higher, now wanting to know even more than before. Alec shares an amused look with Jace before breaking down at her kitten eyes, he can't think of the as puppy eyes cause of that mundane.

He sighs, but smirks as he crosses his arms over his chest and looks to the writing once again. "For Shadowhunters, the descent into hell is easy." He tells her and her brow furrows.

"Huh..." She breaths out, wondering if that relates to what is about to happen. That it will be hell and it'll easy, she hopes it doesn't mean something more sinister.

"Come on, it's this way." Alec speaks up, jerking his head in the other direction, snapped out of the lighter mood wanting to get this over with. These moments before is kind of like torture and mercy, not knowing if these are the last moments of something or the start.
