AN: I know the name of Magnus' and Sawyer's father, but to avoid spoilers I don't mention the name, because not everyone has read City of Heavenly Fire yet. Also, if you don't know Wicked, it's a musical, and therefore I use few of the songs. At the beginning I mentioned the Wizard and I. The song Christabel sings when she and Sawyer become friends and she tries to make Sawyer popular is called "Popular", and the song Sawyer sings when she first used the levitation spell on herself to escape from the Wizard is called "Defying Gravity". The spell in this chapter is made up by me, and might suck because of that.

'What's that noise?' Simon suddenly asked.
Sawyer knew vampires had better hearing than other kinds, she didn't hear the sound herself. 'I'll take a look. Where does it come from?'
'Over there, I think,' Simon pointed.
Sawyer walked away, and closed the door of the room, after drinking some of her tea. She heard something herself then too, it was coming from outside. She walked trought the door, onto the balcony. She had two of them, actually. Then she saw them. A lot of people. She recognized poor Jamie, Clockwork Jamie. She saw a shadowhunter girl, which seemed odd. She wore particular shoes. Rosies shoes! The others were... Vampires? It was dark enough for vampires. Some warlocks. It wasn't an army, not really. More like a... witch hunt. She used a simple spell to hear them better.
'Kill the witch!' she heard.
'Bring her to the Wizard, dead or alive!'
'He'll give us everything we want if we kill her!'
This was a witch hunt. And trouble, a lot of trouble. They had found her, and there was no other way out. Except...
'Of course,' she said to herself, 'We have to fly.'
She ran back to the room. 'We're being invaded! The Wizard's order!' Sawyer shouted, 'Quick. Alec, take your bow and arrows, and defend the place from the balcony here, take that door, turn left, and first door on your right, easy to find! Collin, defend the lower balcony, some of them might be able to climd that. Maia, Bat, Isabelle, Jace, Clary, defend the front door. Christabel, go with Alec, hide him as his arrows from the sight, make sure they don't recognize you. Magnus, Simon, I need you here, I want to use the carpet, but we'll have to move all the furniture to do that.'
Everyone listened to her, and ran off. Sawyer started using magic, moving the furniture, and so did Magnus, and Simon helped moving some things, using his vampire super strenght. Sawyer was actually a bit surprised that everyone listened to her, but this was an emergency, and her plan sounded logical, at least. An archer could protect the castle from the top balcony, someone with a long weapon could defend best from the lower balcony, and the other three shadowhunters could best protect the door. When the carpet was free, she got on.
'Quick, find Collin, Clary, Isabelle and Jace, I'll go to Christabel and Alec, and then we'll go, on the carpet. I can make it fly, all these sort of objects fly with me.'
Sawyer had used broomsticks, they were practical, but not with this much people. No, they needed the large carpet. Large objects were harder, but she had to.

Alec had ran to the balcony, with his bow and arrows, and had started shooting. He didn't have much arrows, so he was careful to shoot the most dangerous enemies, and to shoot them at the most deadly places. There were very few werewolves, Alec saw, mostly warlocks and vampires. He shot a few, and then Christabel came up.
'I'm going to help you,' she said, 'I'll make your arrows invisible to them.'
Alec nodded, too busy to say much, but grateful. He shot another vampire when a warlock shot a spell, Alec wasn't sure what kind, up to him. Alec ducked, but te balcony exploded. Some bits of stone hit him, but he felt okay. Nothing that hadn't happened to him before. Part of the balcony was gone, and Alec was a bit afraid of the height now, but not that much that it influenced him. He was used to fear, and didn't let it bother him too much. Unless it were spiders.
'You alright?' He asked Christabel. Her pink dress was dirty, but she didn't seem wounded, not that he could see.
'Yes,' she said in a high pitched voice. She wasn't used to battles, Alec noticed.
'Stay behind me,' he said. Alec wasn't much used to inexperienced people in battle, except Clary before she had started training, and he didn't like it much. He liked fighting with Jace and Izzy, people he was used to, not people who didn't know how to fight. When finally Sawyer arrived, she was on a flying carpet, with Izzy, Jace, Clary, Magnus, the two werewolves, Simon, and Collin.
'Get on, quick!' Sawyer called. Alec tried to jump on, and Jace and Izzy helped him to get on. Sawyer was standing, carefully controlling the carpet, and the rest of them were sitting, holding each other and the points of the carpet. Sitting on a flying carpet wasn't easy, he found out. Christabel got on after him, and sat down too.
'There are so many!' Maia exclaimed, 'Are they all in the Wizard's order?'
'There are much more of them,' Sawyer said, 'These are only a few. Not his real army, his wolves.'
They were being shot at, Alec suddenly realised. With magic, but also with arrows. Magnus was mostly holding those off, he and Sawyer were the only ones that could, and Sawyer was too busy controlling the carpet. They were going fast, very fast, and Alec found it scary, but he controlled his fears, and didn't show it. He was a shadowhunter, after all.
'The carpet's on fire!' Isabelle shouted, and she tried to put it out, but only Magnus' magic succeeded. A part of the carpet had been burned up already, but luckily not much.
'Again!' Collin shouted, and suddenly, he fell. Alec saw it happening, all in one second. Magnus stopped the fire, but the part Collin was sitting on, was gone, and he fell. The werewolf boy tried to grab him, but failed, and Collin fell.
'COLLIN!' Sawyer screamed. She send some spells after him, and the carpet started falling down.
'Oh no, I can't do this much at the same time!' she shrieked, 'Magnus, please protect Collin, make sure he lands safely!'
No one stated the obvious, that if Collin fell, he'd be surrounded by enemies. 'We're going to crash,' Sawyer warned them, 'There are too much holes in the carpet!'
Sawyer let a lot of magic go, and tried to let them land safely. Alec had only three arrows left, and luckily two seraph blades and a runed dagger. They wouldn't be able to fight all of them, but with some luck they would be able to get away. Alec took a seraph blade and the dagger in his hand, ready to find when they landed. When they were almost at the ground, they slid off the carpet.
'Where's Collin?' Sawyer screamed.
'Somewhere here!' Jace shouted, 'I'll try to find him!'
Alec followed Jace, covering his back as he was used to. The battle was messy, and they were lost between these downwolders. They weren't fighters, not really, but there were so many. Way too many.

Sawyer had found her way to the edge of the people, with Christabel, but the others, more experienced fighters, were lost in the crowd. Sawyer summoned her book, and flipped trough it, looking for a spell she had seen before. She knew that that was the best thing to do. A very powerful one, one that could go wrong easily, but was her only option now. She started chanting. Most spells from the Grimmerie involved chanting, a chanting that, according to the Prince of Hell, was instinctive to his children. Her and Magnus.
'Anima maste kale kale, anima maste caldapess! Anima maste kale kale, anima maste caldapess!' She repeated the words over and over again, moving her hands, and then, all the people who were her enemies disappeared. She had banned them from the area, and they were gone. She suddenly felt tired, spells took a lot of energy, especially powerful spells like these. She took notice of everyone. Alec and Jace, covering each other, holding weapons. Both looked wounded, she saw blood, but they didn't seem in pain. Isabelle with her electrum whip, together with Clary. The two werewolves, Maia and Bat. Simon, somewhere behind them. Christabel was next to her. Two people were missing. Magnus, and Collin. Collin. Collin. Oh no, not Collin. Where could they be, where could they possibly be? Of course, she knew. To Emerald City, to the prison there. She had never seen the prison, but heard of it. It was where they kept the animals. Professor Brown, her old teacher who was now a goat. He made her see how evil the Wizard was. But what would they do to them? To Magnus? And to Collin? Of course she knew what they would do to Magnus. Probably not kill him, no. Well, maybe they would, but Sawyer expected something else. But what about Collin? They would kill him, wouldn't they?
'Collin!' she screamed at last, sounded partly melodic as she often did when she was emotional.
