So, I was thinking of making this chapter in Jace's POV. I think it'd be a nice change of pace, and besides, I like to think about what's going on in that head of our pretty little golden boy. Let me know what you think!

I clutched the fabric of his shirt and nodded against his back. "What is that thing?" I asked, curiosity getting the best of me rather than fear.

"It's called a Ravener, now stay back." he ordered me before pulling out a large glowing sword. It seems almost like the one I saw yesterday. I thought.

He started toward the slimy-looking creature as it reared at him.

~~~o~O~o~~~

Jace

The Ravener was moving closer and closer to us, so I pulled out my seraph blade in order to slay it and send it back to the realm it came from.

I whispered the blade's name and it lit up, burning with a fire. I jumped forward and lashed at it. I caught the Ravener in the eye with the tip of the blade. It screamed in agony then whipped its tail at me. I dodged its attack and used its momentary stumble to my advantage. I stabbed it in its back and twisted the blade, just to make sure it was dead.

The whole fight lasted but a few moments. A demon like that was so small and unimportant compared to other demons; it was like killing a squirrel rather than a bear.

Clary just stood behind me. She was shivering, I could feel it. I turned around and captured her in an embrace.

"W-what was t-that?" she asked.

I really didn't feel like explaining it to her by myself, so I just told her, "Give me a chance to explain and I will definitely tell you later. Just come with me for now."

When she didn't move, I grabbed her hand and led her away from where we were.

~~~o~O~o~~~

I took Clary to the Institute; she didn't put up as much of a fight as I expected her to. I guess she was still in shock.

I called Alec and Isabelle to help me take Clary to one of the empty rooms in the building.

As soon as their names left my mouth, they were already in front of me. I sighed and Alec helped me drape one of Clary's arms over his own shoulder.

We took her to an empty chamber near my own and Alec brought me outside to talk.

"So, how'd it go?" he asked.

"It went pretty good up until she saw a Ravener. I fought and killed it easily, but she's still shocked from seeing it."

"Do you still think that she's an ordinary human?"

"I'm not entirely sure, but I doubt she's human. She could see me and the Ravener as well, but something seems to be off about her. Like she's… Special. She's different, and not at all like the girls I've ever talked to."

Alec seemed to be in thought when I said this. He only stared at the wall in the hallway until he suddenly stood up.

"I need to go talk to Isabelle." he said plainly before walking back into the room. He pulled her out and I took this as my cue to give them some privacy, so I went back inside of the room. I saw Clary asleep on one of the recliners in the room. I picked her up bridal style and carried her over to the bed. Once I lay her down, I sat next to her on the edge of the bed. I brushed a stray curl of red hair out of her face and tucked it behind her ear. She seemed to murmur something in her slumber, but I couldn't quite make it out. I wonder how I would break this news to Rat Boy…

So, how was that? Tell me what you think! Btw, I'm sorry it took so long for me to update…!
