Hey guys, okay maybe the previous chapter wasn't that short. Anyway, I hope you liked it. A bit of fluff, I can't help myself! I am a hopeless romantic! Presenting Chapter 7!

Chapter 7
"What was I thinking? That Alec would actually like me back. Pfft, what a joke." I murmured to myself as I walked through the hallways, rubbing my eyes, trying to get of the tears that were breaking loose. I muffled a whimper. I was not weak, I would pretend that never happened. Suddenly I saw someone ahead.
"Simon?" I called out warily. I then remembered the whole greenhouse scene. "Oh Ashleigh. I was just leaving." He said. I placed my hand on his shoulder. "It's Ash and don't leave. I'd miss you, Clary would miss you." I said. He huffed. "Maybe you should ask your sister why I'm leaving." He said, his voice thick with sarcasm. I need not ask her, I already knew. Simon brushed past me and left. I sighed, why did Clary have to be such an idiot! She lost the two guys she loved most in one incident, literally killing two birds with one stone.
I sighed and went back to my room. I tossed my bow onto my dresser and belly-flopped onto my bed. Why did I draw those runes on my wrists? Why was I thrown into this world? I kept thinking. I looked at my wrist to find the silvery marks still there. I cried and picked up my stele. I started scribbling lines onto my forearm and I almost freaked out when I realised that I had drawn a rune that I had never seen before. Was I like Clary with the ability to create runes? Then a loud knocking on the door startled me and I dropped my stele onto the bedsheet.
"Ash open up! Clary knows where the Mortal Cup is." Came the voice from the other side of the door. I walked over and opened the door expecting Jace and I saw the last person I wanted to see, Alec. I nodded and gathered my weapons before following Alec out. I had to admit, the leather vest he was wearing did good things for his biceps. The runes stood out sharply against his pale skin and his blades were safely chucked behind his back.
We headed to our old house. Clary, Jace and I went to find Madame Dorothea whilst Alec and Izzy went upstairs to check for demons. I sighed, the only demon they would find was Madame Dorothea. She was being possessed by Abbadon, the Greater Demon.
"We came for the Terra cards." Clary said. I stood aside as Jace played the piano. The frequencies were irritating the demon like mad. I was panicking on the inside when Clary pulled the cup out of the card. I mentally slapped myself for not doing anything. That was when Madame Dorothea became the demon. I thankfully managed to get out and grab our seraph blades in time. By the time I got back in, she had already taken out Jace and Clary and Alec and Isabelle were fighting her. Soon they were on the ground. I snuck up behind her while she was distracted by Clary and jumped on her. I hooked my hands around her neck and clung on. That was when I remembered what happened to Alec, or what would happen to him. Suddenly I felt a sharp pain in my back and black clouded the edges of my vision before I fainted.
Sorry for the short chappy! The next one will be longer.
