Rose woke with a sick feeling. She continually gagged at the pain and agony. They gave her medicines and food to consume. After a couple of hours she was fine. She sat up in the bed at the Institute and looked around. At first she saw no one in the room. But in the corner, slung in a chair, was a man with spiked up hair and brightly colored clothes. She instantly recognized him and said, "Magnus Bane."
He didn't seem surprised that she knew his name, he seemed more... impressed. "Rose Serena. I have heard quite a bit about you, and I will forever be grateful to whoever introduced you to the Shadow World."
Rose was to exhausted to think of what he meant and said, "And I will forever be grateful to Henry Fairchild, for introducing you to glitter."
He smiled and explained to her how the others held the vampires away from her unconscious body while Dylan ran to the Institute for help. No one was severely injured, just a few bumps and bruises. The others had already explained what had happened to Maryse, who told the Consul, who prepared many other Shadowhunters to leave tonight to hunt down the vampires after Rose. However Dylan, Rose, Simon, Clary, Isabelle, and Jace are not allowed to go because they are under age.
To make sure that they didn't come, they were locked in a room with no windows. Surprisingly, Jace was the only one who didn't seem upset about the matter. Once the doors were locked he walked to the door and drew an open rune on it. He pushed on the door, but it didn't budge. "They put another lock on the outside." Rose said as she typed on her laptop. Now he grew upset that the rune didn't work like he had hoped. Rose then closed her laptop and laid it aside. She walk over to the door and squinted through the opening.
"Shouldn't be too hard." She said as she walked over to her laptop and re-opened it. She started typing even faster and the others tried to look at what she was doing.
"What good will this do?" Asked Isabelle in annoyance.
"Just shut up for a few more minutes." Rose was getting quite tired of them and was trying to concentrate on breaking the lock open. "They added an extra lock on the door." She explained. "From the outside you enter a code, if the code is right, then it opens. I have found a way to enter the code from the inside."
Every one sat up and leaned in closer as she explained this. "So do you know the code?"
She smiled and said, "yes", as the lock popped open and the door swung out. All eyes were on her still. They seemed impressed. She close the laptop, stood up, and while walking out the door said, "Shall we?"
They took off down the hall. Some went to get weapons, others went to find a path to take. Rose put her laptop up and was on her way to find Dylan when she turned a corner and ran into someone. Someone she had almost forgot about. Talia. And not far behind her was, Tom.
"Well, what do we have here?" she sneered.
"Trying to find your families killer are you?" Tom said. Rose could see the hatred for her in his eyes. "You don't seem to have a weapon with you this time, so it should make it easier to hurt you."
Rose turned on her heels and started running down the hall. She didn't know where to run to. Dylan. He could help her and not get her in trouble with Maryse too. Where would Dylan be? Getting ready to leave? Gathering food? Weapons? That's when it hit her. He is in the library!
She sprinted down the hall toward the library. She knew Tom and Talia couldn't run as fast as her, and they wouldn't throw anything that might kill her. That was were she went wrong. A knife came flying past her head as she ran. She felt blood trickle down her face, but never stopped running.
Another knife hit her leg and made her tumble to the ground. She grit her teeth and pulled it free from her calf. She looked back to where Tom and Talia were, but only saw about ten people, all dressed in black with their faces covered. She started to panic. She managed to get to her feet and keep running. "Help!" she screamed, "Dylan, help!"
That's when more people dressed in black came from around the corner in front of her. She was trapped. This is it. For real this time too. This is how I die. She no longer screamed for help, but she wasn't going down without a fight. She stood still and held the knife she had pulled out from her leg. 1...2...3.
She jumped into the air and hooked her leg around a mans head, and pulled him to the ground. She threw her elbow back and it met with someone's face. People started grabbing at her arms and legs. She blindly slashed out with her knife, feeling it tear through flesh. She knew she would not win this fight, there was no way she could. She would die here. She wished she could see Dylan smile one last time. Hear his laugh. Hear him talk about books. But she couldn't.
One blow to the head was all it took for her to go limp.
