"Guys? What are we doing here?" Clary asked. "I thought we were rescuing Simon."
"We know where he is. We just have to get some things first." Jace said.
They went to the church downtown and Jace unlocked the door with his stele. They went inside and went towards the alter. Jace started looking along the floor for the weapons storage hold as Nicole went over to a chest over in the back of the church. Nicole went over to the back wall and drew the Angelic rune on the wall. The wall light up gold and a secret door opened. Nicole reached into the hidden compartment and took out her hunting gun. She used her stele to put the gun in vampire mode and strapped it to her back. She closed the secret door and locked it back. She went over to her brother and the others as they were taking out weapons from the storage hold. When she reached in to take out the cross bow, Jace saw the gun strapped to her back. He pulled out a vampire gun and gave it to Clary. He showed her how to use it before they all left the church. They came to a place called the Hotel Dumort.
"Hotel of Death?" Clary asked.
"You can't say that vampires don't have a sense of humor." Jace said
They sneaked into the lair and started looking around for Simon. Alec was following behind Nicole as he put a couple of witch lights along the floor. Nicole muttered a spell and her hands started glowing blue.
"Jace? I'm going to take a closer look." Nicole said.
"What are you talking about?" Jace asked.
Nicole jumped toward the wall and started climbing up the wall like a cat. Jace and the others watched as she walked along a railing toward a crumbling column.
"Isabelle? Toss me the red contacts container in my purse." Nicole said.
Isabelle went into Nicole's purse and took out the container. She tossed them up to Nicole and she caught them in her hand. She took out the contacts in them and put them on her eyes. She looked around with her cat eyes contacts and saw Simon's silhouette few feet away from her.
"Jace?" Nicole said pointing to a red door.
Jace walked over to the door and opened it a little bit. He looked up and what he saw shocked him to the core.
"He's over here." Jace said.
Clary walked over to him and looked up thru the open doorway. Up in the air, hung by huge wires and chains was Simon. The others took the stairs and reached him as Nicole was checking over him.
"He's alive." Nicole said.
They all helped to get him down.
"No! Go! They don't want me!" Simon said looking at Clary. "They want you. They want the cup." He said.
Jace looked at him as he soon as he said those words. Suddenly they heard the sound of thousands of footsteps. Nicole grabbed one of the wires slid down to the ground floor. They got down there to be stopped by the vampires. They ran into an abandoned banquet hall to be cut off by the vampires. Nicole took out her gun and cocked it after turning off the safety on it. The vampires came at them and they started fighting them off. A vampire came at Nicole and she shot it thru the heart. She swung her gun onto her back and took out her dagger with the red diamond on the handle. A female came at her and they started battling it out. She blocked one of her blows and Nicole slashed her throat cutting off her head. She took out a dagger out of the pouch on her hip and threw it a random. It hit a vampire that was about to attack Alec from behind. Clary and Simon were watching as the others were fighting. Simon watched as Nicole as she jumped up and disappeared in a set of blue flames.
"Alec! Duck!" He heard Nicole say.
Alec ducked down just as a plasma bolt shot from Nicole's gun and took out three vampires at once. Alec stood up and turned around to see Nicole holding her gun. Clary saw a vampire heading toward Jace from behind.
"Behind you!" Clary screamed.
Jace turned around to see the vampire blast apart from a fatal shot to the chest. Jace saw his sister's gun smoking as she stood on a table with it pointed ahead of her. She pointed her gun toward Clary and Simon and they ducked beneath a table as she shot another vampire. Jace flipped onto a table and stabbed a vampire, the blade going thru the table.
"Ahh!" Clary screamed when she saw the blade of Jace's knife.
Jace looked under the table when he heard the scream and saw Clary and Simon under the table. They crawled along under the table as Jace was fighting above them. Nicole took out another dagger from her pouch and threw it. She took out her crossbow as she flipped off the table she was on. She shot the vampire that had dragged Isabelle along a table by her whip after Isabelle had punched him in the jaw.
"Thanks for that." Isabelle said.
"No problem." Nicole said.
Clary was watching the fight when a vampire grabbed her by the shoulder. She panicked a bit as she turned around. She pressed the gun Jace gave her and shot him. The vampire fell to the ground dead. Clary recharged the gun as the vampires surrounded them all.
"There's too many of them." Isabelle said.
"Have a little faith." Jace said.
Nicole looked at her bracelet and saw the eyes blinking yellow just as a pack of wolves crashed thru the window. They ran up to the roof where they were attacked by more vampires. Alec, Nicole, and Isabelle fought them off as Jace and Clary got Simon to safety. When the sun started the rise, the vampires disappeared inside. The fight was over for now.
