By The Angel I can finally post again. Again sorry for the wait but school sucks. Here you go now though. Hope you like it.
Colorful sparks were lingering on my fingertips and new overwhelming power surging through my body as fought off one demon after the other. Some with blades and some with magic that was so new and unfamiliar but at the same time strangely right to my body and mind. It didn't take me long to get used to the tingling of magic that took over my whole body the second the rune was drawn on the both of us. The rune that still tingled on my arm to remind me of its presence.
Magnus didn't have much time to teach me how to use this new power fully. He only had time to show me two spells to kill and restrain while some of the rest I caught on to as I went along. But that was enough. In this situation that was all I needed.
Luckily Magnus already knew how to use a blade. The only thing new to him the newfound physical straight that came in handy as I could see a few times in the past few minutes that we have been out here.
Few minutes that seemed more like hours.
I froze another demon in place before sinking a seraph blade through his rib cage and straight through his heart, making him turn to dust. As I did my gaze caught sight of Izzy finishing off one and Jace right behind her piercing through two at the time. Clary and Simon were staying close to him but were luckily pulling their own weight.
But no matter how many of the we kill more just keep coming in an unbelievable pace.
I looked up and caught a sight of movement on the roofs. I tensed. Demons. They got up and started attacking from there by jumping down on anyone who's close enough.
It made my blood boil. Oh no you don't.
"The roofs." I shouted over the sound of the battle. Silently asking for someone to come with me and watch my back as I ran towards the closest building.
Magnus was the first one to hear and soon enough he was running right next to me. Shoulder to shoulder as we killed more demon as we went. Sparks flying everywhere as my heart beat rapidly with adrenalin.
Soon we were both standing in the middle of a roof surrounded by ashes and demon blood. No more demons in sight up there.
Our eyes met and no words were necessary before we started making our way back to the others. Having one personal victory behind us but knowing that it's small considering to how many of them there are and are still coming in strides. But this is the only way we can win here. One small victory after the other. Until they retreat or are all dead. Until the city is finally rid of them.
Running full speed I jumped off and straight at the demon that was just about to pounce on Jace. He quickly turned around and finished it off while it was still down.
Our eyes met and Jace gave me a questioning look. Silently asking if the demons are taken care off to which I only nodded before getting back to Magnus's side just as four new ones showed them self's and were ready to pounce. Mid jump they all exploded into ashes as both Magnus and I sent sparks flying in their direction before concentrating on the others that just kept coming.
Shit I don't know how long we can keep this up; I thought as I killed another one.
I looked back at Magnus who just got a blade through a demons heart. Something that looked so hot But shit there are so many damn demons around.
…
My breath came in gasps and my whole body hurt by the time the first hint of hope was seen.
The demons stopped coming in so many numbers and some even started to retreat as we continued killing one after the other.
My left arm hurt like hell from a bite that I got a while ago and I was covered with cuts and brushes like everyone else was. My leg was probably broken and I was limping but that didn't stop me from continuing.
I could barely stand but I still kept fighting. Not letting my guard down no matter the fact that they started to retreat more and more. I'm not stopping until I'm sure it's safe.
Every time it became too much and I felt like I will surely die as three of them got to me at the same time Magnus or Jace were there. Fending them off when I couldn't. Something I was all too grateful for.
Magnus was glued to my side after a few attacks like that. Refusing to move and rather insisting to staying by me and both of us fighting like one. Even though he was in no better shape I was. No one was at this point.
But the power in me still tingled as much as the rune was. And having Magnus next to me only increased it. We fought as a team from the second the battle started. But now we fought like one. Now it was like we were a one person instead of two. It gave me a new boost of strength.
By this time Jace and Clary were somewhere separated from us and we made our way to the very center of the city. Izzy and Simon right behind.
I knew that Jace could fend for himself but I still made me nervous to have him away from me. Unfortunately I had no time to pounder about it because another demon pounced our way.
…
It all happened too fast. Most of the demons were either dead or retreated. With only a few left scattered around. But that was too getting taken care off.
But when it came it all happened too fast for anyone to react. Too fast for me to do anything other than just watch in despair as Magnus fell to the ground.
It came from behind our backs while we were killing off two. The demon jumped and bit Magnus on the shoulder. Making him cry out in pain as his knees hit the ground.
With the strength that I thought wasn't in me anymore I killed the demons-all three of them-before getting down on my knees next to Magnus. Prying his hand off of it and inspecting the fresh would. I was deep and blood just kept flowing from it. I knew it must have hurt a lot. I also knew that Magnus had no strength left to heal it on his own.
"Magnus." I spoke for the first time for what must be hours and he looked at me. Pain evident on his face. "Magnus take some of my strength so you can heal it."
His eyes widened and he opened his mouth to argue. Probably going to say that I'm too weak at the moment for him to do that. But I didn't care so I silenced him with a kiss. Kissing him soft and loving to show him that I don't care. That I trust him and need him to do this.
As I kissed him I didn't care about the fact that we weren't alone. That we are surrounded by Shadowhuntes. All the mattered right now was him. Just the two of us in our own little bubble.
As we pulled apart I didn't pull away far but instead rested my forehead against his and looked him in the eyes pleadingly.
He will die of blood loss if he doesn't do this. He lost too much blood already to be able to gamble with just a big and deep wound right now. Not while so weak. No matter how weak I am he needs to take my strength. He just needs to.
In his eyes I saw that he understood and the next thing I knew he was the one kissing me. Pressing his lips to mine as I felt what's left of my strength being drained slowly. But soon enough he pulled away after taking the minimum amount he could and we were left staying close, staring at each other's eyes as the wound healed.
That's when I heard it. The gasps and whispers around us. All the sounds of disbelieve and outrage.
Before I knew it a pair of hands was pulling mine against my back and roughly pulling me up to my feet. I tried struggling but it was no use. All I could do was watch as they pulled Magnus up too. Making me flinch as he was practically limp on his feet but they still roughly pulled him away from me no matter how much I struggled or shouted for them no to do that.
The Shadowhunter who was holding me let out a mocking laugh when he threw me into a cell like I'm a criminal. I didn't even what to imagine where they left Magnus at.
All I knew was that this is exactly what I was excepting from them. Even after everything seeing a Shadowhunter and a Downworlder together was enough to throw us both into cells even after just finishing a battle.
If I had any strength left in me I would have struggled. I would have yelled at them. I would have done something. Anything. But as it was in my current position I couldn't do anything anymore. And soon enough I passed out even though that was the last thing I wanted. But I just couldn't take it anymore. I couldn't keep my eyes open.
So I passed out on a cold and hard floor. My whole body hurting and all the wounds still freely bleeding. My mind screaming and imagining what they can be doing to Magnus. What they'll do to the both of us.
I just passed out.
Did you like it? Tell me what you think.
So…Yes it's a cliffy. I have no idea what I just wrote or where this came from. Not sorry at all though. But I think there are only one or two chapters left. So I really hope you liked this one. I swear I'll try post as soon as possible but Monday Tuesday and Wednesday I have school for ten hours and then homework afterwards so I don't know when that will be. But you know please review and tell me what you think. Need 15 reviews for the next chapter.
So review my lovelies.
