Magnus POV

When the darkness cleared, I was in a land full of monsters; Edom. I took a deep breath and headed toward my father's home. It was as it had been years ago and just as creepy. I entered the main throne room as he caught my footsteps.

"Who dares enter the lair of Asmodeus unannounced?" Said, Asmodeus, as he entered the room with his cane. He noticed me and a big smile appeared on his face, "Be still my beating heart. Is that my beautiful boy or do my eyes deceive me?"

"Hello, Father." I said as he brought me in for a hug. I patted his back and pushed him away quickly. I took a few steps back and put on a fake smile.

"My son. Magnus Bane. High Warlock of Greenwich here in Edom." Said Asmodeus

"Not that it matters anymore, but I was the High Warlock of Brooklyn, not Greenwich." I said as Asmodeus' smile vanished.

"Well, you'll have to forgive me for being out of touch. It's not like you write. Or call. Or perform the occasional blood sacrifice." Said Asmodeus

"Well, you'll have to forgive me, considering how we left things." I said

"I can only assume that your presence here means you've finally come to your senses." Said, Asmodeus, as he turned back toward his throne.

"About what?" I questioned as he sat down in the throne and looked down at me.

"Banishing the only person who ever truly cared for you." Said, Asmodeus, as he crossed his arms over his chest.

"You think I came here to apologize?" I asked with surprise

"A demon can hope, can't he? I plucked you from obscurity and poverty, and turned you into the man that you are today. Then you just blocked me out and left. You left the one person who cared for you." Said Asmodeus

"I'm the man I am today because I finally saw you for what you really are. a Prince of Hell." I said getting closer to him with agitation.

"You didn't seem to mind at the time." Said, Asmodeus, getting to his feet and coming close to where I stood.

"I didn't know any better! There isn't a single thing from our years together that

doesn't make my skin crawl. I'm sorry to burst your bubble, but you'll get no apology from me." I said

"Then why have you come here? Why reopen this wound?" Asked, Asmodeus, with a frown, "Why come here to just cause pain to yourself? If you hate me so much, what's the point?"

"I came here to ask you for your assistance." I said as I saw the fire in his eyes.

"A FAVOUR?! After coming into my home and insulting me like this?!" Yelled, Asmodeus, as he threw me across the room. I slammed into the opposite wall and I was stuck there like glue. My arms wouldn't budge an inch, "What kind of fool do you take me for?"

"The kind whose love for his chosen son might outweigh his pride. Just a little demonic power to help free my friend, that's all I'm asking for." I said

"Why would I ever give you the means by which Lilith could be banished back here to lord over us all? Edom may not be Marseille, but it's a hell of a lot less miserable with her gone." Said Asmodeus

"Name your price." I said

"There is a time when we all must return to live in the houses of our fathers. Rule beside me." Said, Asmodeus, as he released his hold on me and I fell to my feet. I wiped the dirt from my clothes and shook my head.

"I never should have come." I said beginning to turn toward the door.

"Say what you will about the time we spent together, but you have to admit, you

enjoyed every minute of it." Said, Asmodeus, as I turned back around to face him. I was at my boiling point and I just couldn't take it any longer.

"I was a child!" I yelled as I gritted my teeth, "Father, I have never once come here to ask you for anything. There must be something else I can give you."

Asmodeus thought for a moment and then his smile widened. He walked up to me and put his hand on my shoulder, "Actually, my son there is."

Isabelle POV

Luke and I readied our weapons and snuck up to the building. From what we could see, the lobby was full of Lilith's demonic possessed servants. Luke spoke up as we scouted the building, "Remember, you see any disciples, stay non-lethal. We might be able to restore them eventually."

"A zero body count is gonna be a lot easier without any mundanes in the way." I said as Luke pulled the fire alarm.

The sirens went off and mundanes began filing out of the building. A few minutes later the lobby was nearly empty, "Looks like the plan's working so far."

We got closer as security checked the building and exited, "The security's the last one out. Which means we've got about five minutes before emergency response gets in the way."

"Here's to hoping Lilith has a short fuse." I said as we entered the lobby. The possessed turned to look at us with cooky expressions. Two of the people began to seize and giant bird-like demons climbed out of the bodies. Luke and I looked at each other and then we ran at the demons head on.

Alec POV

As the others took on the front, I went around back. I readied my weapon and slowly made it toward the building. At first he was nowhere to be seen, but then Jace jumped down from the top of the building with a smile.

"He's still in here. And he's prepared to die for it." Said, Jace, with a snarky smile.

"I won't hesitate to fulfill that wish." I said as I ran at him.

When I approached, he dodged my attack and met my blade with his own. Our blades clashed for several moments, until he knocked mine from my hand. Jace dropped his as well, walking toward me. I punched him straight in the nose, barely causing a reaction.

His fist met with my stomach and I fell to the ground. When he tried to kick me, I slid out of the way and grabbed his leg so he'd fall onto his butt. I got to my feet and pulled my bow and arrow out at him. I loaded an arrow and released in his direction. As Jace got to his feet he caught the arrow and snapped it in half.

I threw the bow down and went in for another punch, but he grabbed my throat before I had the chance. He slammed my back into the brick siding as I tried to stab him with a dagger. Jace caught my hand and broke every bone in my arm. I screamed in agony as he threw me to the ground and saddled me.

"Your boy is crying, you know. He's begging me, begging me not to do this." Said, Jace, as he removed an arrow from my case and twisted it between his fingers.

"Jace, I know you're in there. It's okay. I forgive you. It wasn't you." I said as Jace began to push the arrow toward my chest. I grabbed ahold of the arrow and tried my best to push back, "I'm sorry we couldn't save you."

"They say the worst pain a shadowhunter can feel is the loss of his parabatai. Come here. It's time for Jace to finally feel it." Said, Jace, as he pushed even harder on the arrow.

My grip loosened as I felt the arrow cut my skin. I gasped as the arrow went into my body. I tried to fight against him, but I just didn't have the strength. I was close to going unconscious when Magnus appeared behind us, "ALEC!"

Jace pushed the arrow all the way through and then got up to his feet. Magnus gathered all his strength and shot Jace with a ray of power. The energy shot Jace across the alley into the door of a garage. He began seizing as Magnus kneeled beside Alec, "Stay with me!"

"Luke said you'd make a dramatic entrance." I gasped as my fingers began to tingle.

"Wise werewolf." Said, Magnus, as he squeezed my hand.

Jace continued to seize until he threw up a black goo. He took a few deep breaths as his eyes went wide. Jace looked at his hands and realized what he had done. He ran out to us and slid next to me, "Magnus, please, you've gotta fix him!"

"I can't." Said, Magnus, with tears in his eyes.

"You can't?! What do you mean you can't?" Asked Jace desperately.

"My magic, it's gone. I traded it to break Lilith's hold on you. It was the only way to save you." Said Magnus

"Jace, it wasn't you." I gasped as I clutched his hand. I smiled up at him as I tried to stay conscious. I knew he felt guilty and I wasn't gonna let him feel like it was his fault. Jace wasn't in control and I did not blame him one bit.

"I'll take care of him, go get her. I can handle this from here. Go before it's too late." Said, Magnus, as he grasped Jace's shoulder.

"I'm going to get Clary. I am so sorry Alec, I'm sorry." Said, Jace, as he got up and ran toward the building.

Carly POV

Lilith connected Clary and I to Jonathan and then preparations had to be made. I helped Clary change into a blue dress and I fed off Ethan one last time. While I wiped the blood from my lips Clary caught my attention, "Carly, you must know this is wrong."

"This is far from it. Jonathan helped me realise my potential. It was locked away and then Lilith made sure it would never be taken again. If Jonathan comes back I will have someone who understands how I feel. Someone who will love me for what I am." I said

"Carly, this isn't you. Lilith suffocated you with darkness, that's all. If you can snap out of this trance, you will know who you really are. With these new powers you are powerful, but that doesn't mean you have to be evil. I need you back." Said Clary

I laughed to myself and turned towards her, "Oh really? You need me back? We both know the garbage you are speaking. You have never cared for me and even when you try to, you fail. We will never be true sisters and never friends. Not anymore."

"Carly, please…" Began Clary

"Don't even start with me. I have to go slow down your friends from ruining Lilith's plans. Enjoy your time alone." I said

"Their your friends too." Said, Clary, as I looked at her deeply.

"Not anymore." I said vanishing from Clary's sight. I checked the perimeter and began heading to the lobby. The guards were in place and everything seemed right. Halfway to the main floor a hand flew out of nowhere and pulled me into one of the rooms. I brushed off the invisible dirt from my shirt and turned to find Simon standing in front of me.

"You need to give this up. I will never go back to being the weak girl you once knew. Stop trying." I said

"I will never stop trying because I love you, Carly. I lost my mother tonight because of what Heidi did. I will never be able to tell her that I love her again and it breaks my heart. I won't do that with you, I can't lose you too." Said, Simon, appearing in front of me, pushing me against the wall.

"You've already lost me." I said as I tried to push him off, but he wouldn't budge.

"No, I haven't. Magnus said I cannot reverse this entirely, but I can return you to your senses. I need to break the hold the darkness has on you and the only way to do that is overload your senses." Said, Simon, as his face got inches from mine.

"You already tried kissing me, it won't work." I said

"I know it won't, but that's not all I plan to do." Said, Simon, as his lips met mine.

His lips were light and feathery as he fought for control. I felt a little spark, but not enough to break any trance. My lips stayed still as he continued to kiss me. His kisses led from my mouth down to my neck. I struggled against him, but his teeth were already in my throat.

Vampires can feed on other vampires, but isn't as mind blowing. The blood of vampires tastes stale compared to humans, but when you have nothing else it's an option. Of course, you still have the pleasure just a little blander.

His grip loosened on my arms as I grasped the back of his shirt. I felt the wall breaking in my mind to the point of collapsing, but not strong enough to make it fall. He lifted his mouth and wiped my blood from his lips. I looked up at him as he cut the side of his throat with a dagger. My fangs extended and I sunk my teeth deep into his throat.

I felt him gasp as I drained the life from him. Simon's arms wrapped around me as I dug my face into his neck. I took as much blood as he took from me. He licked the blood from my lips and began kissing me once again. This caused the wall in my mind to disintegrate.

I felt myself returning to what I used to be. I still have the powers Lilith helped reveal, but I could think clearly. Simon moved back and knew it had worked. He pulled me in for a hug and I hugged him back. He looked down at me and smiled. I stroked his cheek and smiled back.

"You brought me back." I said

"This should've never happened in the first place. If I had noticed your pain sooner, I could've helped you. I was distracted with everything going on and I never realized. I am so sorry." Said Simon

"It's okay, Simon. I did not want you to worry so I hid my pain. I didn't want to worry you and I knew how full your plate was already. This is my fault. I should've come to you first. Please forgive me." I said with tears in my eyes.

"You could never push me away. Now I need to get Clary and Ethan, where are they?" Asked Simon

"They're in the penthouse suite with Lilith. Be careful, she is unpredictable. Even with the mark on your forehead she is a force to be scared of. Please don't do anything stupid. I am going get rid of the guards for you, now go. Save the day." I said as he gave me one last kiss before vanishing.

Simon POV

I used my speed to get to the penthouse suite. I made sure to avoid any guards and I snuck in through a side door. I made my way into the dining room and found Clary with her hands bound in rope. I ran up to her and began untying her ropes, "Hey! Miss me? Let's get the hell out of here!"

"You need to get Ethan out first. Carly has been feeding on him and he needs a hospital. Get him out and come back for me. She won't kill me because of my part in this whole thing. So hurry." Said, Clary, pointing toward one of the side rooms.

I nodded quickly and ran into the other room. The first thing I saw was Ethan tied to a chair. I untied the ropes keeping him to the chair and noticed how terrible he really looked. Ethan was paler than normal, his neck black and blue, and he had big bags under his eyes. I shook his shoulder to try and get his attention, "Ethan, can you hear me? Ethan?"

Ethan slowly lifted his head and tiredly opened his eyes, "Yeah, I can hear you. I'm not dead yet."

"I'm gonna get you out of here, okay? I'm gonna get you to the Institute and they will take care of you. Just stay with me." I said picking Ethan up bridal style, "I won't let you die."

"Is Isabelle okay?" Asked, Ethan, as I quickly left the apartment.

"Isabelle's fine. She has been worried sick about you for days. Isabelle couldn't stop thinking about you." I said as Ethan smiled a weak smile.

I ran down 12 sets of stairs and ran as fast as I could to the Institute. When I arrived I explained the situation and what he needed. Of course, the shadowhunters were not happy about helping a downworlder, but they agreed nonetheless. After they took him into the infirmary, I ran all the way back to Clary. I was breathing heavily when I got back to her and undid the rest of her ropes, "Let's go."

"No, wait! No! We can't let her bring my brother back to life." Said, Clary, as we looked over at Lilith who was standing near the ancient casket I saw in the church.

"Oh. Cool, cool, cool. Okay. So, what's the play?" I asked

"Lilith is afraid of that mark on your head." Said Clary

"But it's defensive, not offensive. We'd have to get her to make a run at me, but she's

smarter than that, isn't she?" I asked

"Not when it comes to her son, she isn't. I need a stele." Said, Clary, as I handed her the one Alec gave me, "When I give the signal, I want you to smash that casket with your hands. It should destroy Lilith's plan."

"Are you sure this is going to work?" I asked

"I have no idea, but it's worth a try. Now go." Said, Clary, as I hid around the corner.

She took the stele and placed it at her throat. She caught Lilith's attention, causing her to turn around and notice Clary. Clary smiled and pushed the Stele against her throat, "My life is connected to your son's. He needs me and Carly alive for him to survive. If I die, he won't be at full strength. He'll be a weakling, won't he?"

"You wouldn't." Said, Lilith, taking a step forward. I looked her dead in the eye and began cutting part of my throat. Anger filled Lilith as fire flared in her eyes, "Foolish child!"

"SIMON, NOW! Do it, Simon! End this!" Yelled, Clary, as I appeared beside the casket. I used all my strength to slam my fists into the casket. A fine crack appeared and when I did it again, the crack became even bigger.

"NO!" Yelled, Lilith, as she ran at me. I slammed my fists into the lid one more time before Lilith came up to me. My mark glowed as she slammed her arm into my chest. A flash of light surrounded us as I went flying one direction and Lilith went the other. My back fell into the glass window, causing me to fall off the building.

"SIMON!" Yelled, Carly, as she came from the other room. She ran toward the window to try and grab me, but she was too late. She was prepared to go after me, but Clary grabbed her arm.

Carly looked back at Clary with tears in her eyes. They both noticed the light and turned to see Lilith imploding. The two tried to fight a way out, but Jonathan's hand shot out of the casket and grabbed Carly's wrist. Carly and Clary looked at each other one last time before the building went up in flames.

Jace POV

After leaving Alec, I used all the strength I had to make it to the top floor. I fought guards along the way and did everything I could to get there quickly. Halfway up I felt the building shake, which made me run even faster. When I made it to the penthouse, my stomach dropped to the floor.

The penthouse was almost completely gone. Debris littered the floor and there was no sign of anyone. I got closer to the balcony, when I saw a hand appear from the edge. I grabbed the hand and pulled Simon up to his feet. He was weak legged and crying.

"Simon, where is Clary? Carly? Everyone? Where are they?" I asked

"I killed them. Lilith attacked me and I got thrown out of the room. Carly and Clary couldn't get out in time. They're gone and it's all my fault. I killed them. I killed them all." Said, Simon, as collapsed onto his knees and cried.
