Jace POV
Alec had informed me that it was my turn to go out during class and patrol the grounds. He said that it would get too suspicious if he missed every class so he had told me to do it for today. I had just gotten out of class and was heading to the first floor to start.
I looked around the cafeteria and had to dodge a few of the hall monitors on the way. After I had visited almost every place on the first floor I decided to go to the library. The likelihood of something being there was not very high but I might as well go there to be through.
As I had thought, there wasn't anything there in the library except of a few students from 12C. They were apparently there to pick out a book for class. I saw Lydia with the group so I decided to ask her if she had seen anything today.
"No, everything has been pretty normal so far." Lydia replied. "I have been keeping a close eye on Magnus but he hasn't done anything overly suspicious since the first day I came here."
"Ok, well text me if you see anything." I went upstairs since everything seemed to be okay on the first floor. I looked through all the rooms and even went into the old boiler room to see if anything was there but I came up empty handed every time.
It seemed that today was going to be a waste of time. Nothing much had happened since the meeting with the clave and I was getting antsy to kill some demons. It had been some time since I had used my blade.
The lunch bell rang so I decided to head down and complain to Alec how useless it was to have me patrol the grounds. Maybe if I annoyed him enough he might let me get a mission.
"Hey guys, how was class?" I asked them.
"It was fun! We did a group activity where we–"
I cut Izzy off before she could finish, "Yeah that sounds great. So Alec...do you think you can get me a mission from the clave?"
"How many times have I told you that we have to focus on the one we have right now. One wrong move and the entire mission could blow up in our faces." Alec lectured.
"Okay, fine. It's just that walking around school on the off chance there might be demons around just seems like such a waste of time." I whined.
"I don't care how bored you are. You are going to give a hundred percent to this mission. If we mess this up, who knows what will happen."
"Yes sir." I replied, mockingly. Before he could reply I was out of the lunch room and rushing to the library. I wanted some peace and quiet to cool down.
Just as I was about to open the door, I heard shuffling and a loud thud come from the room. I opened the door just enough for me to be able to peek my head through the crack and see what was going on.
I bit my lips to stop a gasp from coming out. 6 or 7 demons were carrying a large container through a portal. The most out of place thing was that a mundane was directing them. I had never heard of demons willingly take orders from a mundane.
I tried to get a closer look and realized that she looked familiar. I think I had seen her in the front office before. She glanced at her watch and her face scrunched up. She tapped her foot impatiently and decided to leave from the back door. It seemed like she was late for something.
I decided to go get the others before I rushed in. Alec had told me to be more rational in my judgement and I didn't want to blow the mission just because I decided to be impulsive.
When I went to close the door, it let out a loud creaking noise. Great. I glanced at the demons to see them all staring at me. Oh crap. I did the only thing that I could think of and took out my blade. "I guess I'll just have to fight them by myself." I mumbled to myself.
I easily slashed through the first couple of them and they were getting more desperate to get a hit on me. Now there were around 4 more of them left. I dragged my blade through two of them and just as I was about to finish the third one off, one of them came up behind me and slashed my back. I could feel the sensation of something burning through my skin and into my bloodstream. Their blades seemed to have been laced with poison.
I dropped my blade and fell to my knees. This could not be the end. The last thing I heard was hurried footsteps and a flash of electric blue hair before I lost consciousness.
