Jace POV
Izzy swung her whip and a flash if silver collided with the blob's sucker. It squealed deeply before squirting acidic goop her way. She dodged but some of the goop splashed her shoulder. She screamed in pain. "Isabelle!" Shouted Simon as he ran to her aid. Mia, Bat, Clary and I joined him. The burn on Izzy's shoulder was bloody and horrific. Izzy looked pale and damp.
"Oh my god," said Mia as Simon tapped Izzy's face lightly. Horror filled the room.
"Izzy, come on. Talk to me! Say something, anything," said Simon. Isabelle mumbled a bit but we couldn't here her. Her eyes were rolling back and her lips looked blue. "Jace, give me your irate," said Simon frantic. By the look of the burn, I could tell an irate wouldn't work. Nevertheless, I gave it to him and he steadily drew on. Immediately after the irate was done, it was covered by what looked like ice. The irate faded away with no effect. Izzy looked pretty unconscious and most of us didn't know what to do. Simon looked frustrated. "Isn't there another rune?" He asked propping Isabelle's limp head on his thigh.
"Oh little shadow hunter. No petty rune of yours can save her," smirked an evil voice. Kali's 'protector' stood centimetres away from us laughing hysterically.
"What gave you done?" Asked Simon through gritted teeth.
"Not me darling. The dragni did it. They are demonic pets with lethal saliva. It's so cold it can literally make someone's heart turn into ice. If you don't save her soon, she will become heartless and bitter then will eventually of the chills," he said looking at his nails. We stared in shock but he barely noticed. "Shame, she looked pretty hot." That was the breaking point for Simon and me. We both lunged at him with anger but he was too swift, even for me, He simply spun, ran behind us pushed us down without effort. Simon tried again leaping onto him but the grim bastard span again and Simon landed on concrete. I there's my dagger as steadily as I could at the creature and it scratched him deeply. The grey man straightened up and stroked him scratch. Thick black blood coated his fingertips. He looked angry and sinister and I thought we had finally got him when he smiled cruelly and licked the black blood off.
"You'll pay for that," he smirked. He opened his mouth and it grew wider and wider till his skin started to tear and his jaw literally broke. The skin around his mouth peeled off to reveal brown flesh and his teeth sharpened to become tiny white daggers. He crouched and with tiers on on the ground and a long brown tongue hurled our way. I pushed Simon and we both missed the tongue by inches. The monster tried again and it scratched Simon's cheek. Before it could strike a third time a voice spoke " Malaci?" The creature turned and we all looked. Kali stood a distance away from us with a shocked and horrified expression. Malaci went back to a more 'human form' and smiled.
"Kali darling! I've been looking between dimensions for you," he smiled ignoring his bleeding temple.
"Malaci, why we're you sent?" asked Kali stepping away from him.
"Daddy wants you back," said Malaci in a fake sweet voice. He was beside her now and had put a hand on her shoulder. "He not happy over you leaving and wants you home, now," he said gripping her shoulder tightly. I could see her grimace in pain. "Say goodbye to your new friends-"
"NO!" Screamed Kali slapping his hand away. "I will not go anywhere with you. I know what father wants and I won't give it to him do you can pack and leave," she creamed. Malaci chuckled. "Kali," he said as she backed away. "Kali," he chuckled frighteningly. Kali still backed away. "Kali!" He screeched.
"NOOOOO!" screamed Kali as dark mist surrounded her feet. She rose into the air and her eyes flickered a dark red. I could hear the sound of thunder dragni looked like they were backing away and Malaci had the creepiest expression on his face.
Kali looked furious and clear like a paranormal painting with her wings. She wore a red shirt that stood out against the mist."Malaci," she rumbled. Her voice was extremely deep and she looked like an evil goddess. Her teeth were sharp and her braids were frozen mid air. "Return to Syvion and tell daddy I won't be coming back any time soon," she roared. Then, without waiting for reply, she created a foggy dome and trapped Malaci in it. The dome was made of red clouds and grey lightning that cleared after shrill protests from Malaci. The dragni were obviously trying to escape and didn't seem to notice. She landed on the floor and withdrew her wings with her eyes still scarlet and rushed to Isabelle. Everyone was still in shock from what they had just witnessed. Kali lifted Isabelle's head up and examined her. When she saw the wound she rubbed her hands together rapidly creating red sparks around her fingertips. She brushed her fingertips over the wound and the pale unconscious Isabelle gasped as her body pulsed and her eyes flew open. She looked like she had been shocked. Simon rushed over yo her and hugged her tightly with relief. She hugged him back as tightly as he hugged her and Kali returned to normal form.
Kali stood up calmly before brushing herself of and saying "We should head back to the Institute. I have some things to explain."
