Ashley tumbled out of the portal onto soft grass a few miles away from the city.

"How long until they reach us?" asked Arthur when Magnus placed wards around the area with half a mile radius.

"Not long, so be ready. Ashley, take to the sky and start shooting them down. The wards I have up will burn them but it won't be enough," Magnus replied.

Ashley nodded and flapped her wings until she was high in the sky. She could see the demons approaching fast (maybe two minutes until they reach the Shadowhunters) so she acted fast and started shooting them down one by one.

When her arrows bounced off of them she aimed for the eyes and sure enough that did the trick.

As the ugly creatures reached the wards they got burned by a blue flame until they disappeared in a puff of smoke. She kept on shooting them until she didn't have any more arrows left.

She flew down to where the team was and drew a sword.

"There is about two dozen left," she reported. Alec nodded and shouted orders at the others.

Just when they stood in formation the wards fell and the Shadowhunters, a warlock and a hybrid fought with all their might but Ashley took to the sky again and landed in front of the man she saw in her dreams.

Ash held up her sword up and asked with some bravery she didn't know she had.

"Who are you and why are you doing this," the man smirked and answered with a chuckle.

"Don't you recognize your own father, Ashley?" At his words he froze but did not lower her weapon.

"Nice try, but my father is in another dimension," she replied with a smirk of her own but it disappeared when the man in front of her only laughed.

"No, you are my one and only child," he said and stepped forward as she stepped back.

"Your mother betrayed me and took you away, gave you to the Seelies where they sent you to another dimension so that I, your father, could not raise you like the princess you are."

With his last words a black crown with red gems appeared on his head, as well as two big, black wings behind him and his eyes turned blood red.

Ashley opened her own white wings in defence when he opened his.

"Who are you?" she whispered with a touch of fear.

"My name is Lucifer. King of all demons!" he said and rose to the sky. Ashley followed him.

"Why are you sending all those demons to the city, Lucifer?" she asked but she didn't dare acknowledge his parentage to her.

"To bring you back home. Ever since I felt your power back on this plane I've searched everywhere for you through the dogs but they were too dumb not to get killed so I decided to come myself. And sure enough – here you are," he said with a smile.

"I'm not going anywhere with you," said Ashley and she watched as his laughter turned to that of an angry expression.

"If you do not come with me willingly, I will take you by force," he sneered and Ash felt the adrenaline of fear pump through her.

"Just you try," she challenged and with that their fight began mid-air.

The angry king created a big fire ball and threw it at her. She raised her arms to her head but when she didn't feel it hit she peeked and saw that she was protected by a silver force field.

Every fire ball her father threw only exploded in mid-launch as it came in contact with the shield. Ashley lowered her arms and watched as the shield disappeared, followed by a fire ball that came in contact with her shoulder.

This angered her and she was well aware that her eyes turned as red as his as she yelled at him, "You say I am your daughter, hair to the throne of Hell, and yet you attack me when I am defenceless!"

She formed a fist and Lucifer stopped his assault to look at her with fearful eyes as he saw a silver fire ball form around her hand.

Ash looked down, saw the fire and threw it at him. He made his own shield but it shattered as soon as the ball collided with it. She made another one and this time it caught one of his wings.

He staggered a in the air and then fell hard to the ground. He managed to stand but as soon as Ashley landed in front of him she kicked him in the gut and he stumbled back – out of breath.

She punched him in the face before he could fully recover, kicked his legs out of under him and stepped in his injured wing with all of her weight.

"I refuse to go anywhere with you," she whispered in his ear as she crouched down while he was struggling to breathe.

"But let me tell you this," she continued. "I might be your daughter but I am not evil like you so you will live. The farewell gift I will give you will be the first and last bad thing I do, Father," she sneered at him and stood up.

Ash raised her hand and let a few dozen fire balls fly to his injured wing. He screamed in pain as all his feathers on his wing burned off – only leaving dust behind.

With the last of his power he caught Ashley by surprise when he hit her with a fire ball. She staggered back – away from him – clutching her wounded shoulder. Lucifer got up, snarled at her and vanished in a red flame.

Ash sighed with relief and sagged to the ground as all her energy fled out of her. She was faintly aware of voices in the far background and a pair of blue cat eyes before she blacked out.

Do you think I should do a sequel? Comment to let me know.
