A/n: Thank you to everyone who read the last chapter and I really hoped that you liked it.

Magnus was quick to realize that something was wrong. He turned around to find a stunned Alec, in the same spot he had been a few minutes ago.

"Alexander." He walked back towards him. "We need to get going if we want to save her." Alec blinked a few times before coming to his senses.

"Yeah, let's go." The made it into the fresh air before Magnus made a portal and all four of them walked inside it, the three men with their mind on their destination.

"Let's put her in the infirmery." Jace said, ignoring the curious stares around them. Clary followed right behind them.

"What if you draw an Iratze rune like you did with me the first time we met?"

"She's not a shadowhunter." Alec said.

"Yeah but she's not a mundane either." Clary countered.

"What do you think Magnus?" It was Jace who spoke now. "Do you think it would work?"

"I don't nearly know enough about Slayers to make that kind of decision." He was kneeling down next to her, trying to keep her near the surface with his magic.

"The hell with that, I'm trying it." Jace pulled his stele from his back pocket and found an empty spot on her arm where he expertly traced the Iratze rune on Nora's skin.

"I think it's working." The first few minutes were dead quiet and some of the bite marks started fading with the healing rune, Clary smiling.

"It's working, you did it Jace." She was proud of her suggestion but that victory was short lived when Nora started thrashing, the bite marks reappearing and blood started trickling from them again.

"What's going on?" Alec applied pressure to her shoulder, trying to make the bleeding stop, only to have that blood seeping through his fingers.

"I don't know." Magnus waved his hand again, calming her thrashing slightly.

"We need to do something before she dies."

"There's nothing we can do for her." Everyone turned at the sound of Maryse's voice.

"What do you mean we can't help?" Jace's jaw was set, ready for an argument.

"Because she is part demon."

"Part demon?" Alec couldn't believe what he was hearing.

"The first slayer was created by men, shadow men, who infected the girl with the essence of a demon, starting the whole line of the Slayers."

"What does that mean for her then?" Clary had now placed a hand to Nora's neck, trying to stop the bleeding that had started there too.

"It means that she has accelerated healing abilities so all we need is to keep her sedated and start a transfusion and then we wait."

"Let's get her comfortable then." Magnus made sure that she stayed sedated as they settled her more comfortably in the infirmary. One of the medics came and started the transfusion and they made pressure bandages where the bite marks were, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Everyone needs to search the books for anything we can find on the lore of the Slayer and what we can do to help her." Alec left no place for arguments as he walked out of the infirmery and towards the library.

"I'll head over to the Jade Wolf, see if Luke knows anything or anyone who can help us out." Jace nodded and followed his parabatai.

Clary walked through the pier and quickly found the run down restaurant in the docks. As soon as she pushed the door open, all eyes turned on her. She saw a lot of new faces from the pack members that had followed Russel here after he had returned from Phillie, a dark agenda comanding him. She quickly found Luke's eyes, Simon turning when he recognised it, giving her a smile of his own. She walked up to them and took a seat next to her best friend.

"What's up kiddo?" Clary looked down at the table and Simon knew something was weighing on her.

"What's up Frey?"

"You remember when I called you a few days ago about that new girl Nora?"

"The vampire slayer? Sure, something wrong?"

"Actually. She went back to her place to get some of things and she got attacked."

"Is she at the institute?" Luke worried, knowing they didn't know much about that girl.

"Yeah. Alec, Magnus and Jace teleported her back but she's in bad shape Luke." Luke put his own worrying aside when he say the worry lines on Clary's forehead, the same ones that she inherited from Jocelyne.

"What can we do to help?"

"That's the thing, we don't know. Jace traced an Iratze rune on her and for a few minutes it worked but then her bite marks started bleeding again."

"So what now?" Simon asked.

"Well Magnus is keeping her alive with his magic and both Alec and Jace are doing research. I figured I'd come see if you or anyone has ever seen or heard of something like that."

"I can't say that I have" Luke said with a sigh.

"Maybe I can ask Raphael if he knows something." Simon suggested.

"Thanks Simon, that would be great."

"Anytime." He stood and he was out the door at lightning speed.

"What did the Clave have to say about all of this?"

"I don't think they know or if they do they're choosing not to help. Maryse says that she has quick healing abilities but I'm not sure how much help they'll be. When she started thrashing, she looked in so much pain Luke."

"We'll find something kiddo, don't worry about it." He put his hand on her and gave his most reassuring smile.

"I'm sorry but I heard you talking and I think I can help." Both looked up and were face to face with one of the new members of the pack.

"I'm sorry." Luke's memory came in blank.

"Adam." He gave them a smile. "It's fine, I know there's a lot of new faces.

"Yeah. So you said you could help?" Luke gestured for him to take a seat and he took Simon's previously occupied spot.

"So, our blood have healing properties, the same way vampires and sealies do."

"But won't that turn her into a wolf?" It was the first time that Luke had heard such a thing.

"Ok so it's not an exact science and I haven't heard of it being attempted in modern times."

"At this point, anything we have is worth a shot." Clary was willing to try anything at this point. "Would you be willing to come try it?"

"Sure." He shrugged, Clary already on her feet.

"Let's go then." Luke and Adam both stood and Clary created a portal as soon as they stepped outside of the Jade Wolf.

"I'm not going through that."

"Come on Adam, we don't have much time." Luke pulled him by the elbow and the three of them walked through it, landing in the middle of the infirmery in the Institute.

"Woah." Was all Adam could say as his eyes looked around him.

"Who's that?" Jace looked up from the spot he was staring at. Everyone was back from the library, clearly not having found anything.

"This is Adam and we think he might be able to help Nora."

"And how is he going to do that exactly."

"Blood transfusion." Luke gave no other explanation, even though he knew that wasn't going to be enough.

"No way." Alec physically placed himself between Adam and Nora. "I can't let you do that."

"We don't have much of a choice, unless you can tell me that you've found something in those books." Luke a step forward. The silence in the room was all the answer he needed and Alec moved aside so Adam could take a spot on the cot next to Nora, giving their medic room to start working. It was only about an hour later before they could give Nora the transfusion, Magnus waiting to see if his services were needed.

Nora had stopped thrashing a while ago and was just lying there peacefully. Their research had turned up nothing and Luke having a good argument, Alec let them do it. He somehow felt overprotective of her, the same way he was of Izzy and seeing her like this broke his heart and he hoped that this wolf was the cure.

"How is she?" Maryse asked, wrapping an arm around her son.

"We're waiting to see if Adam's blood will do the trick. So far, nothing."

"Had she reacted badly like before?"

"Not so far but what happens if this doesn't work either?"

"We'll find something else. But I don't think that we can do anything else for her tonight. Go to sleep and we'll see what happens in the morning." She suggested.

"What if something happens during the night?"

"I'll call you, I promise."

"Thanks mom." He locked eyes with Magnus so he stood and came to join him, Jace, Clary and Izzy already gone. "I'll see you in the morning." Alec kissed her cheek and both he and Magnus left, in direction of his loft.

Clary was pacing in her room, cell phone in hand. "What the hell is taking him so long?"

"Babe, you need to calm down." He gently held her hands to stop her tyrade.

"Simon hasn't texted me anything and Nora is waking up. We need to find something else."

"And we will, but getting all worked up like that is not going to help her. Come to bed with me and we can look at this with a clear head in the morning." He kissed her.

"Fine." She pulled away from him and settled herself in bed, Jace taking the spot beside her and wrapping her in his arms.

Alec and Magnus walked through the door of his loft and Alec dropped his jacket unceremoniously on the couch. "What the hell are we supposed to do now?" He turned to face his boyfriend.

"There's not much we can do except wait Alexander."

"That's not good enough. We should have been able to wake her up by now."

"Maybe she's just not ready to wake up yet." He pressed a hand to her cheek. "If her condition doesn't change tomorrow, we can find something else. Now please come to bed with me." He pleaded. Alec didn't argue and they got ready for bed, hoping that the new day would bring better news.

Simon paced, waiting for Raphael. He had talked to him before but hadn't liked the answer he was given so he was ready to charge as soon as he came back.

"Simon, I told you that there's nothing we can do to help her."

"Come on Raphael, there must be something we can do to help her?"

"There's nothing and even if there was, she's a slayer, she's born to kill our kind."

"So in other words, you don't want to help." Raphael's silence was a good enough answer for him. "Fine. I'll find someone else to help her." And Simon was out of the DuMort in the blink of an eye. Once at the boat hanger, he texted Clary Raphael's answer and hit the net to find anything that he could.

In the Institute's infirmery, Adam sat on his cot, no longer able to stay lying down. He used the quiet time to look the girl over. She was no older than he was and her hair was a sandy blonde colour. He wondered what colour her eyes were underneath the lids and wondered what kind of personality her sleeping form had. He was so absorbed by trying to figure her out that he didn't see her left hand twitch.
