Jace POV:

"I see smoke! There, look!" Jace pointed a finger at the thick grey damp twirling up into the air.

"I can see it too! That means this damn forest is ending!" Maia said exited.

Jace and Maia hurried towards the smoke, running so fast, that when they arrived they where light headed. Maia gave a little scream of triumf, and Jace sighed in relif. This was the first good sign they had gotten, since they arrived here. A village! But the pleasent change turned out to be not so pleasent. As they walked through the villiage, they met no one on their way, but they could feel that someone was watching them from inside the houses. The city had a wierd smell of rot.

They turned right into a dark alley. The most horrible smell hit Jace's nose. Thick black scented smoke, was rising from a big pile of… Maia seemed to realise this at exactly the same time as Jace, because she turned 100 degress and vomited on the spot.

Two big men with grusome expressions on their faces, where shovelling corpses. Human corpses. The unburned ones where laying in a big pile, rats feasting over the flesh. Jace felt the need to get sick to, but he knew that those two men would have valuable information.

Maia was yanking him hard.

"Lets. Go. Now!" she just choked out at him. Her face was turning green.

"No. These men might know something." He answered, really wanting to run screaming away. This was buy far the most scary, disgusting thing he had ever seen.

"Jace, look around. They are burning rotten corpses. Whatever they know, i don't care, they are not good news.!"

Jace didn't move.

"Please!" she pleaded him.

"Go. I'll stay here and have a chat with them."

"You don't know what your up against, you can't fight them alone!"

Jace didn't answer.

"Fine. I'll stay. "she sighed. "I can't leave you alone here."

"Thanks."

"I'll go first. You don't have any weapons, maybe i can get you one." Maia half said, half growled. Then the girl form was gone, and a enormous wolf was standing in her place.

Maia POV:

Oh god, here i go. She ran towards the biggest of the two men, jumping in mid air and landing on the huge man, making him fall over. It was first at that point that they realised that she was here. She knew they needed information from them, but she figured they just needed one guy. She ripped open the man's throat with her teeth, spitting out the blood and dirt from her mouth. Ew. The man that had been sqirming around before, was now laying perfectly still. She saw the other man aproaching from the corner of her eye.

Quickly, she turned into human, and fished a sword up from the now dead guy. She threw it to Jace, who conviniently had come running at just the right time. Maia concentrated on watching Jace fighting instead of thinking of what she was standing in between.

Jace was very elegant in his fighting teknics, while the man was agressive and un-focused. Jace hit him with the sword in his thigh. Then his arm. Then the man fell on his knees, trying to stop both places from bleading. He was gasping after his breath.

Maia began walking towards them. Jace kicked them man, making him fall over.

"Who are you working for?" Jace said in a very threatning cold voice. When the man didn't answer, Jace took him in his cape and shook him hard.

"ANSWER ME!" he yelled.

This time, the man responded immidiatly.

"Yaadiieel. I m-m-mean, loo-rr-d Yadiel. Go-o-dd ble-e-s-ss the kii-ng." he stammered.

"Who is this, Yadiel?"

Maia asked him.

"He's the k-ii-ng." he answered, a bit more sure of himself.

"Please. I've got two children and a wife. Don't kill me. They won't survive without me."

"Then why are you doing this!" Maia asked frustrated, trying not to think about what "this" was.

"I know it's a dirty job. But there's nothing else availble. We would starve if i didn't do this, and end up like this. I am not a freak, i hate it. I'm sick by it, and it makes me angry…" he paused. "But these are the people Lord Yadiel kill, if they don't pay the fee and i do not want my family to end up like this." he looked down.

Both Maia and Jace didn't have a respond ready for that.

Later that day:

Maia and Jace were sitting in a little kind of pub in the village. She felt very safe in here. These people didn't use electrictiy, wich suprised her a bit. It was just like the old days. The man in the alley, was Olaf, and the one they had killed had been an outsider with no family. This had been a relive; They didn't have mad villiagers wanting revenge in their heals. Still, Maia felt bad she took his life. She had judged him to quick. The barman placed 3 beers in front of them, and went of to polish a glass in the other end of the bar. Olaf took a giant sip of his beer. Jace did the same. Maia just nibbled a bit to it. She had never like beer, but it was rude to say no.

"Are you sure your feeling well?" Maia asked for the 100th time.

"I'm fine. I assure you of that. I am all patched up and good to go. Now, tell me, what brings you here?"

Maia and Jace exchanged glances. Olaf looked suspicously at them.

"It's okay. If you don't want to tell a stranger like me, i understand." he said. Then he took another sip of his bear. Maia saw him like a big bear. He turned out to be a nice person, and he was very caring for his near people. He was about 40 years old, had a big brown beard and brown long hair. His eyes where foamy grey, his face heart shaped. He had a little belly but otherwise he was the size and height of a giant. He was wearing a green shirt, and brown baggy leather pants. Maia liked to think of him as someone they could trust.

She could se Jace agreed with her, so Maia explained him everything, with a little help from Jace. After she was done, he looked sad at Jace.

"Do you love her more than you value your own life?"

Jace nodded, his eyes so sad Maia could bearly look into them. Her heart felt heavy to; they needed Clary.

"I am sure that it is lord Yadiel that has your beloved friend captured. His castle is about a hour walk away from here. You need to be very careful about what you do or say in this villiage. He leaned closer to them and whispered:

"You never know who could be a spy."

Maia looked around and suddenly felt less comforted by the pub.

"Why don't you stand up against this Yadiel?" Jace asked Olaf.

"Some have. The ones who have been caught has never been seen again. It's risky and very dangerous."

"Wouldn't you rather die a martyr, than live like a coward? jace spat out. Olaf's eyes widened.

"Sorry, i didn't mean it to come out to harsh." Jace apoligized.

"That's okay, you are right my dear friend. I am a coward. But i am a coward who wan't to make up for it. I want to help you guys."

"Really?" Maia asked. "You barely even know us, and first time we met, we were entending to kill you."

"But you didn't."

...

"You can stay with me at me house. You need a change of clothes, everbody can see that your outsiders from miles away. I'll try convincing more people to help. Don't worry, i'll do it without revealing to much. I really want this to work out for you."

Maia felt a rush of gratitude towards Olaf, and for the first time on the journey felt like it maybe would turn out to be okay.

Magnus POV:

They were walking to slow. If they wanted to catch up with the others, they needed to hurry. Their bodies were dying in the real world. This was very serious now, and it was turning out to be the most dangerous thing he had ever done in his life time...

Simon POV:

He woke up on the floor in a bedroom at the institute. At first, he felt confused; What had happened? Then, he remembered the fake Clary, and her killing him. But he wasn't supposed to return here? he was supposed to be dead for good. Clearly he wasn't. He sat up, blood rushing to his head. He looked around and saw the others. They were all lying still around the room. They weren't looking their best. Clary was the worst. She looked like she was at the verge of dying.

Simone made himself stand up. He was very thirsty, and weak. He went for some blod, and when he came back, he began nurcing the others. He managed to get some water down their throats, but it wouldn't be enough. Simone hoped and prayed that they would wake up safely, just as him. Now it was up to the rest of them to save Clary...

Alec POV:

As he stabbed Magnus with his knife, another one appeared. This was his situation;

Each time he killed one, another one showed up.

He was sweating badly. His body was very tired, and he was doing everything, to fight of the fake Magnus's. He knew this wasn't enough. There was something he needed to figure out. Something he needed to do, to get out of the trap. He just couldn't think of it.

He fought on, hoping he was clever enough to figure it out...

Getting pretty good, huh? ;D Okay, leave me a review and tell me what you think! :-) remember to PM me for your uniqe sneak-peak! :-) (If you reviewed of course! :-)
