p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Isabelle shook out her long hair as her whip curled around her wrist, "Well that was one hell of a demon. Everyone alive, Simon?" Simon nodded and made his way over, rubbing his arm. Isabelle pulled out her stele and started to draw an iratze on her skin. Simon held out his arm, " Would you? I'm still not very good." She smiled and carefully drew the stele across his skin. Simon had worked hard to be a shadowhunter and he had worked hard to show Isabelle he was still the same Simon before he lost his memory, without the vampire bit. She loved him for trying, but why he loved her, she had no idea. Then something caught her eye. A dark shadow like thing flitted across the other end of the ally, she stared forward, uncoiling her whip as she did. Jace and Clary looked up at her, hands on their seraph blades. Alec walked behind bow and arrow ready, "Izzy, what did you see?" He whispered./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"Something dark moved at the other end of the ally." Simon, Jace and Clary were now following blades out in front of them. The shadow moved again, quicker and darker. She heard Alec's intake of breath, he'd seen it too. The shadow moved again, then darted out of the ally with blinding speed. They chased it, their runes enhancing their speed and ability to dart in between mundanes. They chased the shadowed demon to Brooklyn but it's speed out matched theirs and it sped off into the night./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"Dammit!"Jace cursed, while Clary stretched out her legs, walking around. Isabelle's whip curled around her wrist, whislt Simon asked Alec what type of demon it was./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"" /spanspan style="color: #323232;"I really don't know, I've never read about anything with that speed and ability. It was a powerfull demon though, didn't you feel the darkness raidiating off it?"/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Isabelle did feel it's power and for a first time in a demon hunt, she didn't feel safe with her friends around her, " Come on, lets go. We can try and figure what it was at the institute." The others nodded and hailed a cab. Once back in New York Isabelle could still feel a dark energy, but as the others didn't mention anything she kept quiet./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Alec rang Magnus and told him he was staying at the institute for the night, and asked him to look up demons with a dark aura and skilled speed and agility. Clary seemed unusually agitated but wouldn't tell Jace what was wrong. Suddenly she collapsed, shaking. Jace and Simon rushed forward as I shared a worried glance with Alec./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"Clary? Clary? What's wrong Clary?" Jace asked frantically, trying to draw and iratze on her but his hand was shaking. Alec took the stele and carefully drew the iratze. Clary stopped shaking. She looked up with wide eyes, "I don't think we're safe."/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"What do you mean, baby?" Jace asked cautiously./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"There too much dark energy, it… It felt like it was going…Going to consume me." Jace and Simon helped Clary to her feet as we all got into a cab. Something was not right./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"That night I did not sleep peacefully. Nightmares of the demon realm plagued my dreams. Simon had forgotten me, he left me, gone without any memory of who I was or what we had been through together. I was alone. Max was gone. Simon was gone. Alec had left me, Jace had left me, Clary had left me, I was all alone./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"I awoke to the patter of rain on my window and my heart racing. Shadows seemed to curl in the darkest corners of my room, slinking towards me. I didn't feel safe. Climbing out of bed I tiptoed to the door and padded across the hall to Simons room. Knocking on the door I slipped inside. The room was dark and Simons breathing was steady, "Simon?" I whispered, " Simon?" Simon rolled over and lifted to covers up, smiling to myself I crossed the room and slipped under the duvet. "Simon?"/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""Yes?" He mumbled sleepily./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""Would you ever leave me?" I knew it was a stupid question to ask, but I felt unsure and insecure, my nightmare had left an irrational fear of being left alone. "God, Isabelle, no!" Simon spoke louder now as he turned to face me, "Isabelle, you are the most gorgeous, fearless, and talented woman I've ever loved. I would never leave you unless you told me to. Even then you'd have trouble! What made you ask?" I blushed, I hoped it was dark enough he couldn't see./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""It was just a nightmare. Thank you, Simon." With that I curled up next to him and closed my eyes./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"I awoke again to screaming. Sitting up I heard it again, a girl screaming. Then Jace shouting. Clary. Me and Simon darted out of his room, Alec glanced at me with an eyebrow raised as he rubbed sleep out of his eyes. Clary screamed again as my mother came running down the corridor," What's happening? Alec? Isabelle?" Sobbing came from Clary's room, we all rushed forwards and into her room./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Clary was sat on her bed, crying and shaking, Jace held her in his arms whispering to her softly. Simon rushed to her side," What happened? Clary, are you alright?"/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""She had a really bad nightmare. She was talking about darkness, that it was everywhere. She said she couldn't see and that Simon was gone, taken by the shadows." Jace answered, looking at Simon./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""Do you think it could be that demon from earlier? I mean I felt a lot of dark energy when chasing it, Alec?" Isabelle asked, looking at her older brother./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"" I suppose, but we don't know much about what type of demon it was." By this time Clary had stopped crying and was listening, " I don't really remember my dream, only that it was dark and the shadows were whispering." She spoke clear and strong, reminding Isabelle Clary did not easily break. Mayrse stepped forwards, "We should rest for the rest of the night. We can ask Magnus if he knows of anything that could have caused such a dream, but for now we can only say it was a dream." With that she turned around and left the room. With a asking look towards Jace, Alec soon left as well. Isabelle shared a look with Simon, his eyes held a lot of worry but he got up and kissed her forehead. He walked out the room with Isabelle behind him. He put his arm around Isabelle and led her to his room, " Are you staying tonight?" She nodded, " If that's okay?" Simon smiled and shook his head. Opening the door he said, " Anytime, Iz, anytime you need me."/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"They slept through the night with no more interruptions and Isabelle felt much safer curled up in Simons 's PoV/span/p

p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""Yes?" He mumbled sleepily./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""Would you ever leave me?" I knew it was a stupid question to ask, but I felt unsure and insecure, my nightmare had left an irrational fear of being left alone. "God, Isabelle, no!" Simon spoke louder now as he turned to face me, "Isabelle, you are the most gorgeous, fearless, and talented woman I've ever loved. I would never leave you unless you told me to. Even then you'd have trouble! What made you ask?" I blushed, I hoped it was dark enough he couldn't see./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""It was just a nightmare. Thank you, Simon." With that I curled up next to him and closed my eyes./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"I awoke again to screaming. Sitting up I heard it again, a girl screaming. Then Jace shouting. Clary. Me and Simon darted out of his room, Alec glanced at me with an eyebrow raised as he rubbed sleep out of his eyes. Clary screamed again as my mother came running down the corridor," What's happening? Alec? Isabelle?" Sobbing came from Clary's room, we all rushed forwards and into her room./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Clary was sat on her bed, crying and shaking, Jace held her in his arms whispering to her softly. Simon rushed to her side," What happened? Clary, are you alright?"/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""She had a really bad nightmare. She was talking about darkness, that it was everywhere. She said she couldn't see and that Simon was gone, taken by the shadows." Jace answered, looking at Simon./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""Do you think it could be that demon from earlier? I mean I felt a lot of dark energy when chasing it, Alec?" Isabelle asked, looking at her older brother./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"" I suppose, but we don't know much about what type of demon it was." By this time Clary had stopped crying and was listening, " I don't really remember my dream, only that it was dark and the shadows were whispering." She spoke clear and strong, reminding Isabelle Clary did not easily break. Mayrse stepped forwards, "We should rest for the rest of the night. We can ask Magnus if he knows of anything that could have caused such a dream, but for now we can only say it was a dream." With that she turned around and left the room. With a asking look towards Jace, Alec soon left as well. Isabelle shared a look with Simon, his eyes held a lot of worry but he got up and kissed her forehead. He walked out the room with Isabelle behind him. He put his arm around Isabelle and led her to his room, " Are you staying tonight?" She nodded, " If that's okay?" Simon smiled and shook his head. Opening the door he said, " Anytime, Iz, anytime you need me."/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"They slept through the night with no more interruptions and Isabelle felt much safer curled up in Simons 's PoV/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Isabelle shook out her long hair as her whip curled around her wrist, "Well that was one hell of a demon. Everyone alive, Simon?" Simon nodded and made his way over, rubbing his arm. Isabelle pulled out her stele and started to draw an iratze on her skin. Simon held out his arm, " Would you? I'm still not very good." She smiled and carefully drew the stele across his skin. Simon had worked hard to be a shadowhunter and he had worked hard to show Isabelle he was still the same Simon before he lost his memory, without the vampire bit. She loved him for trying, but why he loved her, she had no idea. Then something caught her eye. A dark shadow like thing flitted across the other end of the ally, she stared forward, uncoiling her whip as she did. Jace and Clary looked up at her, hands on their seraph blades. Alec walked behind bow and arrow ready, "Izzy, what did you see?" He whispered./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"Something dark moved at the other end of the ally." Simon, Jace and Clary were now following blades out in front of them. The shadow moved again, quicker and darker. She heard Alec's intake of breath, he'd seen it too. The shadow moved again, then darted out of the ally with blinding speed. They chased it, their runes enhancing their speed and ability to dart in between mundanes. They chased the shadowed demon to Brooklyn but it's speed out matched theirs and it sped off into the night./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"Dammit!"Jace cursed, while Clary stretched out her legs, walking around. Isabelle's whip curled around her wrist, whislt Simon asked Alec what type of demon it was./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"" /spanspan style="color: #323232;"I really don't know, I've never read about anything with that speed and ability. It was a powerfull demon though, didn't you feel the darkness raidiating off it?"/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Isabelle did feel it's power and for a first time in a demon hunt, she didn't feel safe with her friends around her, " Come on, lets go. We can try and figure what it was at the institute." The others nodded and hailed a cab. Once back in New York Isabelle could still feel a dark energy, but as the others didn't mention anything she kept quiet./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"Alec rang Magnus and told him he was staying at the institute for the night, and asked him to look up demons with a dark aura and skilled speed and agility. Clary seemed unusually agitated but wouldn't tell Jace what was wrong. Suddenly she collapsed, shaking. Jace and Simon rushed forward as I shared a worried glance with Alec./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"Clary? Clary? What's wrong Clary?" Jace asked frantically, trying to draw and iratze on her but his hand was shaking. Alec took the stele and carefully drew the iratze. Clary stopped shaking. She looked up with wide eyes, "I don't think we're safe."/span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"What do you mean, baby?" Jace asked cautiously./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;""/spanspan style="color: #323232;"There too much dark energy, it… It felt like it was going…Going to consume me." Jace and Simon helped Clary to her feet as we all got into a cab. Something was not right./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"That night I did not sleep peacefully. Nightmares of the demon realm plagued my dreams. Simon had forgotten me, he left me, gone without any memory of who I was or what we had been through together. I was alone. Max was gone. Simon was gone. Alec had left me, Jace had left me, Clary had left me, I was all alone./span/p
p style="margin-left: .25in;"span style="color: #323232;"I awoke to the patter of rain on my window and my heart racing. Shadows seemed to curl in the darkest corners of my room, slinking towards me. I didn't feel safe. Climbing out of bed I tiptoed to the door and padded across the hall to Simons room. Knocking on the door I slipped inside. The room was dark and Simons breathing was steady, "Simon?" I whispered, " Simon?" Simon rolled over and lifted to covers up, smiling to myself I crossed the room and slipped under the duvet. "Simon?"/span/p
