Clary P.O.V
I was on the ground, defenseless, with a bloody nose, a horrible headache and not to mention a creature saying how it is going to eat me. I turned my head looking for the dagger I dropped. When bingo! I saw it and if I could inch forward just a little I could grab it. I outstretched my arm and tried to grab it, it was only centimeters away from my hand. I cautiously and slowly slid my body closer to it, though the creature didn't seem to mind me it just kept going on about different ways it was going to kill me. I reached out one more time and was just barely able to grab the hilt of it. I flung it closer to me and got a better grip on it. I took it and stabbed it in the side. The thing gave a weird screeching noise and flung its self off of me. When it did I gave out a yell of agony, what I hadn't noticed was that when I was reaching for the knife it was slowly curling its claws into my shoulders and lower stomach, like when you have a cat sitting on top of you and you are petting it, then stop the way it curls it claws into you to get your attention, of course this was more painful and less cute.
The thing was lying on its side obviously really injured. I stand up slowly, with the dagger in my hand and walk over to the creature. I pick up my knife drive it into the things head.
Jace P.O.V
This guy will not stay down, now we are just striking back and forth waiting to get the upper hand. This has been going on for a few minutes, and I was getting tired. Then I hear a cry in pain. I glance over and see Clary with blood all over clothes looking like she walked through hell, she had my dagger in hand and impaled the monster. But me looking at her gave him the upper hand. He hit me in the head with the butt of his sword and I fell to the ground. I was hoping Clary had made it outside okay. But when I glanced over she was sitting on the ground with the ravener dead at her feet but that isn't what bothered me, what bothered me was Clary, her entire face had gone pale as if she were dead. I turned back towards the guy who was walking over to me with a smile on his face. He raised i his sword but I rolled out of the way before it could hit me. This guy had to have a slow functioning brain because when I stood up he was still staring at the spot I had been. I went to bring my sword down but right then he seemed to realize what happened and he tried to move out of the way but not fast enough because I was able to slice his side.
He grabbed his side and put his sword away "I'm not that stupid kid," he said before he ran into the hallway going who knows where, I was going to follow but remembered Clary. When I knelt next to her I knew she had poison coursing through her veins. I examined her shoulders where I had first seen blood. When I looked at the wound I knew she was clawed by the ravener, I picked her up and carried her downstairs. I knew a few alley way short cuts I could take without being seen.
When I finally made it to the Institute it was probably 3:00 in the afternoon. I ran in screaming for Isabelle, Alec, and Hodge. "Jace do you know-" Isabelle said but cutting herself off after seeing the girl in my arms. "Get her to the infirmary and I'll get Hodge" she said running out of the room. Right, I ran down the hallways knowing where to go but not really paying attention. It is like my feet just ran on instincts, I just know I couldn't let Clary die.
When I got to the infirmary I didn't have to wait long for Hodge. He came bustling in with a bunch of weird potion looking things and with Isabelle right on his tail. "We can handle it from here Jace, why don't you go get cleaned up" he said without even looking at me.
Okay a little shorter but I felt I should end it there because if not it would just be dragging on. And I think I'm changing it around at first when I started this story I just wanted them to be in high school but found that my story would be better if it would be in this direction hope you aren't mad about that change ~Jenna
