7. Arms to Hold Me

The demon was long and big and green. When it saw Clary it stopped what it was doing and quickly came slithering towards her. She barely had time to jump out of the way, but the demon still bit her leg. A scream tore itself out of Clary's throat. She ran to the back of the alleyway, dead end. Damn it! She thought. The demon was fast, she was about to grab her blade when she heard it slithering behind her, she turned around and kicked the demon. It fell back.

*JACE'S POV.*

Jace was walking down the street with Alec and Isabelle when he hears a scream. He could tell that it was a girls scream. He looked and his brother and sister and they start to run down the street. They turned down an alleyway to see a girl kick a demon away from her. Jace was the first one to react and threw a blade that sunk it's self deeply into the demons back. The girl stumbled back and grabbed a blade identical to Jace's and stabbed the demon in the eye. The demon rolled around and then disappeared into thin air. He then looks up at the girl who killed the demon. "Well, well, if it isn't Clary Fairchild." I say the red head girl looks up at me.

"Jace?" She asks.

*CLARY'S POV.*

I am surprised to see that the boy who stands in front of me is Jace Herondale. He's not alone either. Beside him stand's his sister, Isabelle, and Magnus Banes boyfriend who she saw at the Idris Ball.

"Jace?" I ask. His smile widens. "Happy to see me?" He asked. I don't know what to say. I look down at the place where I saw the demon die, and I feel faint. I look back up at Jace.

"Thank you." I say. I stumble backwards and he takes a step forward. The people who stand by his side are shocked and don't say anything.

"Are you okay Clary? You don't look so good. "Jace says.

"Jace! Don't be so rude, she just killed a demon, no one look's good after they kill a demon." Jace turned around to look at his sister.

"I do." He says, and turns back to face me. "But I don't really mean it like that. Clary, are you okay?" He asks again, and takes another step toward me. I take a step to the side and lean agents the wall. It's the only thing holding me up right now. Then I remember. The demon, it bit my leg. I shake my head.

"The demon..." Is all I say before I fall to the ground. Lucky for me Jace is fast, like he was at the ball and catches me, he lifts me up into his arms. My eyes are closed and I don't know what's going on but I can hear faint voices around me.

"She got bit in the leg, look." Says someone.

"We have to bring her to the institute." Says another. Then everything went black, and all she can hear is silence and I no longer feel Jace's arms around me.
