Stonehenge

"Tonight we are raising our great mother Lilith from Hell!" Jonathan yelled. The demons swarmed around Stonehenge hissed in agreement. "Tonight we shall raise her with the transformation of Leigh-Ann Grace Taylor! Tonight our great Mother Lilith will be given her newest daughter; our newest creation."

Leigh-Ann bit her tongue and prevented herself from screaming.

"Tonight is the night we shall restore a power so great that shall wipe out the entire Shadowhunter realm and form a new sort of Shadowhunter. Aren't we, dear Leigh-Ann?"

Something ensnared her wrists and she gasped in pain. Sadie growled. She looked down but nothing was wrapped around her wrists even though she was being dragged into the center of it all; into the center of where her transformation was to take place. Sadie tried to strike but was attacked and sent rolling down the hill.

"SADIE!" she screamed

"Good to see that pretty face, Leigh-Ann Grace," Jonathan stated. She growled at him, trying to wrench away, but all it did was burn her at trying to resist.

"Have a seat; or lie down, rather." She was thrown into the center of the stone and groaned in pain feeling a painful tingle go up her left side. Whatever originally had a hold on her constricted her wrists and ankles once more before holding her arms above her head, nearly pulling her arms out of their sockets.

"Now, be patient. When the process is complete, it won't be painful anymore." His voice was mocking and distasteful.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she screamed.

"I told you that you would become a demon whether you liked it or not."

"You planned on having me destroy the Shadowhunter race regardless," she hissed.

"You should've stayed away, but the Seelie Queen told me that you'd come to me eventually."

"I didn't come to you for the reasons that you believe."

"No; but soon, that is what you'll be thinking." He held a cup above her and tipped it. Out of it spilled the thick blood liquid; blood; demon's blood. And Jonathan began chanting something. At first, she listened to the words he spoke in Latin, beckoning her transformation to fulfill itself, but then the raging pain ripped at her gut and she could not help but release the scream that escaped her lips.

"STOP!" she screamed. "STOP IT! IT HURTS!"
"It's supposed to hurt, Leigh-Ann. It won't hurt much longer, though; I promise."
She bit the inside of her cheek and tasted blood. "INTERCLUDO DOLOR! SODES!"

"It will stop soon." His voice was full of venom.

"NO! IT WILL STOP NOW!"

"JACE, STOP!"
She turned her head slowly to see that golden haired boy she so desired sprinting over to them and took down Jonathan. The hissing of all the demons across the area was like a loud wind in her ears. Whatever constrictions she was under released her. She scrambled to her feet as Isabelle, Alec, Magnus, and the man she had run into before coming here ran over to her.

"What…what are you DOING HERE?!" She screamed and tangled her fingers in her hair. "You weren't supposed to come here! I CAN'T PROTECT YOU LIKE THIS!"

Her voice, to her, sounded so angry and hateful. She felt terrible; it had to be the transformation, but she couldn't help it.

I told them to stay away.

And now here she was stuck with having to protect them all and not having any capability of doing what she came here for.

"You thought we were going to not come and help you?" Isabelle sounded appalled.

"I didn't want you to! I came here to go back to Heaven; not get my friends killed because they're too stupid to understand what I WANT and that was to keep you all safe!"

She turned to where she saw Jonathan and Jace fall. Jace was wrestling with him on the ground. The demons were beginning to swarm them all.

"You're all IDIOTS!" she screamed before running toward Jace and Jonathan. Jonathan had Jace pinned to the ground.

"Get off of him, NOW!" she screamed, before throwing a punch to his face and sent him flying a few feet away from them. She helped Jace to his feet.

"You're alright!" His hands came to her face. "Why'd you take off like that? I've been-"

"Do you realize how STUPID you are?!"

Jace was taken aback. After writing that she had loved him, those are the first words she greeted him with and that bothered him.

"Stupid? Stupid is when you run off and expects us not to try and help you or come and find you!" He looked at her eyes and realized the problem.

"You're an IDIOT and you can't read worth a damn! I told you to stay away! Now I've got a much bigger burden on my back now thanks to YOU!"
Her eyes were absolutely coal black. The demon blood that was poured on her earlier began to drop down her dress.

"Es an idiota!" She turned back to the demon and away from him. She went to the center and began fighting with the others.

Her transformation will be done within a few minutes.

He looked around trying to see who could be saying that or if it was just in his head.

I am in your head. It's almost time for the completion; do not let my daughter down.
