Chapter Four -
A gunshot filled the alley, with a loud bang. It tearing through Clary's skinny jeans, through her knee high boots, hitting her muscle, going through her right knee cap. She fell to the floor, as she screamed in pain. Simon caught her, as she lost her balance. "Clary!" Jace yelled as he went to go move but the guy raised his gun at Jace. "Dont move!" He yelled. Simon settled Clary down on the floor. She bit her lip trying not to yell. Blood fell from the wound on her leg.
"I told you, what would happen if you moved" The guy said, motioning to Clary. Clary shook her head. "Your going to die. And, I am going to be the one to kill you" Clary smirked. The guys smile disappeard as he hit her with the edge of his gun. Clary smirked, as she had a cut on the side of her mouth. "That's all you can do?" She asked, spitting some out. "Dont tempt, me little girl" He said. "Now move" The guy ordered to Simon. Simon walked over to the opening. He moved towards the side and starred at the guy.
"Now, Jace!" Simon yelled. The guy turned over to where Jace was, but was knocked down by Jace's large body, crumbling on his body. Clary moved herself to the wall, trying to grab and egde of a trashcan and trying to boost herself up. Another gunshot filled the alley again. Clary closed her eyes, as another gunshot went off. Simon put his hand over his mouth and gasped as the guy pushed Jace's body off of him. Jace gasping in pain. Clary screamed as she saw Jace was shot.
His hands going to his stomach tryng to cover the wound on his near by hip. Clary tried to move but more pain suffered from her knee. Simon ran towards Jace, trying to put pressure. Clary threw her jacket over towards Simon. Simon caught it, as he crumpled her jacket in to a ball and put pressure on Jace's wound. "Use my stele Simon!" Clary yelled, she bent down and slid her stele towards him. Simon stumbled with the stele in between his fingers. He slowly doing the healing rune on Jace's body.
Clary noticed the guy behind Simon, he was in front of the portal, and raised his gun towards Simon. "Simon!" Clary screamed at the top of her lungs. She launched herself with enough force, hitting her leg in the process. She jumped forward, towrds, the guy. Jace's skin startled to crumble together as the rune worked.
Clary tight arms wrapped around the guys body as she pressed through the wall. Simon turned around as Jace's eyes watched as Clary jumped on the guy. The guy knocked in to the portal as Clary fell in wtih him. "Clary!" Simon screamed as Clary went through the portal. Jace, grabbed Simon's shoulder and hoisted himself forward.
Jace reached his hand out, in to the portal but it was to late. The portal closed, so quickly, in front of Jace's eyes. "No!" Jace screamed. He kicked and punched his arms in to the wall, trying to get it back open. Simon went over to Jace, and pressed his arms around Jace's body tight, pulling him to the floor. "Stop it Jace" Simon yelled at Jace. Jace's hair was wet as it dangled across Jace's face as sweat formed on to his skin. Blood stained on his clothes.
"Clary" Jace whispered as the two of them starred at the wall, where the portal was just a minute ago. Simon and Jace both starring at the wall. Both thinking the same. Where did Clary go?
