All character belong to Cassandra Clare, via the TMI series. Would love to here what you guys think of the story so far :)

Clary had dropped so quickly that she had lost her balance, falling forwards and scratching her cheekbone. The pain of the scratch wasn't nearly as bad as her hands, which were still bleeding from her entry attempt through the first story window.

Simon had dropped at the same time as Clary and was now jumping to his feet, grabbing her arm to pull her up.

The demon behind them snarled, rearing itself. Jaces shot had missed, only succeeded in making the creature angrier. Simon yanked Clary to her feet and they darted across the room towards the others.

Clary turned to face the creature as it lunged forwards, teeth bared, towards them. Isabelle brought her whip down across the creatures back, ribboning its skin. Angry, it turned on her as another two demons appeared in the room.

Clary found herself next to Jace, who had his shining white blade ready and waiting.

"Why did you come here!" he yelled. The look in his eyes was desperate.

At that moment, a demon with toxic ink blue skin launched itself across the room at them.

Jace grabbed at his belt, pulling a small blade free and thrusting the hilt towards Clary as he moved his body in front of hers.

A serpentine tongue shot out of the demons mouth, Jace slamming his blade into it before it could reach them. The demon screeched in pain, pushing itself off the ground and into Jace. He was immediately knocked down, pinned under the creature as it breathed on his face, waiting for a shot at his neck.

Seeing it's opportunity, the demon reared back, ready to sink it's yellowed teeth into his flesh. Grabbing her dagger, Clary launched herself onto it's back, sinking the weapon into the creatures spine, before twisting the knife as viciously as she could. The creature was injured, but not dead.

Jace pushed himself up, slamming his sword into its chest. The creature let out a shrill cry and evaporated into a cloud of dark blue smoke.

Clary could here human cries behind her and whipped around in time to see Simon sink his teeth into the neck of a green demon who was charging at Isabelle, her whip laying several meters away. The creature threw Simon off, continuing on its mission towards Isabelle. In a split second, the creature was riddled with arrows, as Alec shot the weapons into its tough skin. Screaming, the demon threw its head back. The others had been defeated, but this one showed no signs of backing down.

Clary had read about greater demons and instinctively knew that she was about to face one. Jace had his sword ready, Alec his arrows, and Clary her dagger.

The five of them were circled around the creature but its interest was only in Isabelle. Seeing this, Simon ran towards the creature again, his fangs sliding out and ready to pierce the creature rough skin, with a light hand gesture, it swung it's talons towards him, sending him across the room and into a pile of old junk furniture.

Clary could see that Alec was continuing to sink his arrows into the creatures chest, too little effect. Looking at Jace, Clary wiped the ichor off her blade and they each bolted forward, diving at the creature together. Clary sunk her weapon into its leg, yanking down. The demon let out an ear-piercing scream, and Clary let go to cover her ears. As she did, the creature swung towards her, raking its talons over her chest. Clary felt a rush of cold air on her chest before she felt herself fall back, unable to continue standing. She watched as Jace swung his sword, connecting with the creatures neck and silencing it.

The demon, like the other, sizzled and evaporated into a toxic cloud of smoke.

"Clary! Can you hear me!" He said, rushing over and dropping beside her, lifting her into his arms.

She felt listless and watched as the outskirts of her vision began to blacken, all she could see was his beautiful face, laced with terror.
