Chapter 9
Ash's POV
"Oh and Alec, thanks!" I called over my shoulder at Alec. He looked at me, eyes full of worry, sadness and something else, affection. I shook my head and raced off, I could think about Alec later. I had to help Clary. As I ran through the hallways, I could faintly hear the sound of the demons in the Institute. I pushed myself harder and ran faster, bursting into the library only to see Valentine fighting with Jace. "Clary!" I shouted. She looked up at me and he face was distraught. "Ash! What are you doing here?" she said. Valentine looked over at me and smiled.
"My other daughter! How lovely to see you. My family finally back together." He smiled evilly. I freaked out and pulled out a tonfa that I had borrowed from Alec and held it up. When I had borrowed the weapon, I could not remember. "Don't touch me," I said, holding the weapon tightly. "Just as vicious as me." Valentine grinned. "Get the cup for me." I looked at Clary dropping the smallest hint of a nod in her direction before I stepped forward. "Don't do it Ash!" Jace shouted. I placed my hand against the card and with one swift movement, I swiped it aside for Clary to catch. "No!" Valentine shouted. He wrapped his arm around my neck and held me by the portal. Then I smelt smoke, I looked down at my hand, to see the rune I had drawn glowing red. I pressed the rune against his neck and he gasped out as he it burned him. He shoved me to the ground and black spots clouded my vision as pain shot through my head. He then proceeded to fighting Jace. That was when Clary snuck off to get the replica of the Cup.
"Stop! Or I'll drop it!" She said, holding the Cup through the Portal. When Valentine was handed the Cup by Clary, I kicked his foot really hard and tripped him before Clary shoved him into the Portal. After that, I fainted.
"Ash! You okay?" came the worried voice. I opened my eyes to see Clary looking at me, only she did not have red hair. "Lily?" I called out. I looked around and realised that I was in the make-up room. "Phew, you're okay, you really scared the hell out of me when you fainted." Lily said, letting out a sigh of relief. I had fainted. I looked down at my wrists to see the silvery marks of the runes. I felt my stele still in my pocket and sighed inwardly. Safe. "Hey, drink this. We heard you skipped lunch." I turned and saw Alec holding a cup of steaming coffee, no it was Kevin. I nodded gratefully and took the cup. I was back in my world, but my experience in the Shadowhunter World changed me for good. Kevin smiled. "It's a good thing we found you," he smiled. I grinned, so much like Alec. I looked down at my wrists again and smiled briefly, I would miss my time in the Shadow World, and especially Alec but all good things have to come to an end, as the saying goes.
-Four months later-
Back in my room in my apartment, I was doing my hair when a glint of light caught my eye. I opened my drawer and under my scrap paper stuck out a blue-silver object. "My stele." I breathed, I had forgotten all about it. "I wonder…" I trailed off, placing the tip of the stele against my skin. It glowed as I drew the first rune that came to my mind, the rune for Love. The rune glowed and the light engulfed the room.
Fin! I will start the sequel ASAP! Thanks for all you guys' reviews! Look out for Glass and Smoke!
