My Love

The Healer

Alec POV

The place Clary had taken us reeked of demons. She had found a horde's nest. And honestly this was just perfect. I had left Magnus to get killed by some mundane and her faulty memory.

"Maybe we can leave before they know we're here" Isabelle said. An ear-splitting scream shot from the building. 

"I don't think we can do that." Jace said. "If we do we'll lead them back to the mundane city. Might as well destroy this nest"

We started walking towards the building and I grabbed Clary's arm. "If any of us die, our blood is on your hands. You brought us here"

I let go and marched away, already putting an arrow in the notch. There were hundreds of demons. We'd kill one and two would take it's place, like a hydra. 

After hours of fighting the numbers started dwindling. I was out of arrows and my stamina runes were wearing off, but I didn't have anytime to reapply. I jabbed my daggar into the chest of one and threw it at the head of one that had Jace pinned.

I heard a scream cut through the air. I turned my head and one of the demons had Clary backed against a wall. It wasn't completely next to her and I cursed myself for what I was about to so for that idiot girl. I timed it perfectly as soon as it was about to bite her I threw my body in front of hers. I felt the jaws clomp down on my shoulder and blacked out.

Isabelle POV

I turned around as Clary screamed a second time. The demon had it's jaws locked firmly on Alec's shoulder and his body was limp. I made a mental note to hurt both Alec and Jace. Alec for being stupid and Jace for making Alec act stupid. 

I heard Jace groan. His parabatai rune must be hurting. I ran over to the demon who was currently shaking Alec like a rag doll and decapitated it with my whip. It's vaporized, leaving Alec on the ground.

"We have to get him back to the Institute" I yelled at Jace. He nodded after finishing off the last demon in sight. Jace and I pick Alec up off the floor and carried him to the car we had taken to here. It was too far outside the city for us to walk. 

Jace was driving and Clary was in the passenger seat. Alec was sprawled out across the back seat, his head in my lap. I was putting pressure on his shoulder to keep him from bleeding out. 

"Jace step on it. He's losing too much blood." I said through clenched teeth.

"Don't you think I know that?" He growled back but sped up anyway.

I grabbed a pen and paper off the floor of the car and wrote a message. After I finished I put a fire rune on it and hoped he would come.

Magnus POV

I was translating a book into English. It was originally in an ancient demon language. This is going to take forever. I moved to pick up my pen when a fire message appeared. It read: Magnus Bane please come to the Institute. We were out fighting a horde's of demons and Alec got really hurt. He has lost a of blood and runes won't work because of all the demon poison. We'll pay you whatever you want. We are on our way back - Isabelle

"Alec!" I thought.

I pulled my hooded leather robe off the the back of my chair and shrugged it on. I snapped my fingers making my boot appear on my feet as I walked out toward one of my spare rooms. I snatched up the bag I kept all of ingredients and opened a portal. After the portal became large enough for me to walk through I did.

When I got to the other side no one was in the infirmary. I assumed they weren't back yet and got to work. I walked to the large closet in the pulled out a cauldron. I walked back over to where I was working and stomped twice igniting a fire. The fire wouldn't harm anything in the Institute but allow me to heat up and cook the ingredients.
