Author's Note: Hi guys! Just wanted to let you know that, my story "ID and MI Character Interviews" will be taking more questions in the reviews due to the fact that I just received a few and would like more so I can complete a chapter.

Chapter 11:
Isabelle's shimmering, golden whip lashed through the night and into the air. With streetlamps flickering off it, it resembled jagged flash of lightning in a storm. It sliced the green scaled monster's skin and embedded itself into it's flesh with a ping. Like metal against metal.
Isabelle was stunned but quickly lashed out again and the oddity reoccurred.
The demon howled in fury but showed no signs of serious injury or willingness to back down. Jem, seraph blade at the ready, widened his eyes in shock.
"It's part automaton, and demon. You can't just kill it" he warned, ducking out of the monsters way.
Jace lunged and sheared off a slice of the half demon, half automaton's skin from the thing's arm. And sure enough, bronze gleamed underneath.
Alec stealthily moved out of the demon's range, hoping that it was too preoccupied with the others to notice him. He pushed one of the many crates that lined the alley's brick wall and it clattered to the ground, knocking down the monster in it's dissent. It was only temporarily out before letting out a yowl and climbing to its clawed feet.
"Guys, I have an idea, follow me" Clary said, clutching the blade in her hands and slowly backing out of the alley.
The group was somewhat wary to follow, but after weighing their options, they followed Clary out of the alley, the monster in pursuit.

Will's first instinct was to panic and demand release from the carriage at once but, his Shadowhunter skills made him think it through. He reached down tentatively, shifting Tessa to his other side, and for a brief moment his eyes flutter and Will shushed her. Then reached down and retrieved the witchlight stones from his trouser pocket, it flared to life between his fingers and he was careful to douse the light by inclosing it in his palm.
A wave of horror overcame him as the rays of lights from the stone passed over the coachman's form. Copper glinted from beneath the coachman's collar and scales were visible from under the white cuffs rolled up on his arms, the arms that held the reign to the coach they were trapped in.
!
Clary led the group at full speed through the empty street, the demon close behind them. As they passed a streetlamp, Isabelle expertly lashed out her whip and the tip coiled around the middle of the streetlamps base. In result the half demon, half automaton clattered to the cobblestone with a thud and Isabelle unwound the whip.
"Don't….Isabelle, we want it to follow us" Clary panted while jogging.
"And why is that exactly?" Isabelle asked in puzzlement.
"I saw a bunch of crates marked explosive and if we can't kill it, we can blow it up" Clary explained as it were a perfectly logical explanation.
"So you're a pyromaniac now, huh?"
They ran along the length of the docks and Jem abruptly stopped, the others all looked back at him as if he were a madman. "I have a better idea," he yelled, turning onto the bridge that extended over the swirling Thames, "I've done this before, we need to get into the water."
Alec, Jace, Clary and Isabelle back tracked and made a beeline for the bridge, the demon just feet behind. When they came to the middle of the bridge they all stopped, following Jem's instructions. He pressed down on the jade dragon's eyes on the top of his cane and a gleaming blade was released. He swung the weapon through the air and knocked the demon to it's knees.
Isabelle let her whip fly as the furious demon bellowed in rage. The sudden blow sent the beast crashing into the side of the bridge's railing and Jem smacked the creature once more, crumbling the railing. The debris fell to the churning waters below, the demon following it's dissent.
The group stared as the half demon, half automaton bellowing, crashed to the murky waves.
"It would seem we own Blackfrairs Bridge new railing and not for the first time" Jem said, straitening his jacket by the lapels and sliding the blade into his cane.
!
The coachman was a demon.
No, an automaton.
No, a half automaton and half demon hybrid.
Will did the unthinkable: He a grabbed a seraph blade from his belt and lunged.
Ok, guys I know this story just keeps getting weirder and weirder but, it will make sense later, even though I dislike this chapter very much. The next chapter, I'm kind of excited to write though. Reviews are appreciated, tell me what you thought!
