A single barrel erupting with flames was the only thing standing on the concrete floor under the bridge. The sounds of a nearby pier and cars above and beside the bridge echoed slightly. A cold breeze carried the salty smell from the pier to their noses. Not the pleasant salty smell from the seaside.

"I think I should have bought a jacket, its freezing" The black haired girl with bright pink lipstick spoke through her chattered teeth.

"Izzy you are always half-dressed, you should be used to it by now" A low concentrating voice spoke out.

"Maybe you should be a gentleman, Alec and give me your jacket"

"Bring your own next time, we don't have time to play pass the parcel"

"Will you two stop, we have a demon to catch and try and kill"

"Why did I hear you emphasise on try, Lexi?"

"Because Izzy, the Behemoth is a hard demon to kill, unless it kills us first, from the reports from the Clave, this area used to be the home of homeless people, it swept through everything. All their belongings, even them, most of them tried to run, but some were half dying or already injured" Lexi explained looking around.

"Poor people, but my question is, would you rather live like that, or be freed from it all?" The raven haired asked.

"They didn't have a choice to answer that question, now where is it?" Alec asked before hearing a groan from the blonde boy. He lifted his boot up and sighed.

"Slime. It's fresh, the rest of it must have dried out which means its close"

The four Shadowhunter's looked around the area trying to spot anything. But it was silent.

Lexi felt something drip onto her nose, which rolled off onto her black cat suit. Taking her olive toned finger, she wiped it up, looking at the green ooze.

"Slime?" She frowned chucking it to the floor, before realising something. As the other's continued to walk forward together in a circle, she looked up slowly. She saw the demon hanging from the ceiling. It was a dark greenish colour, in a rough oblong shape, like it was drawn by a child. The double row of teeth lined the length of the odd shape. She watched it as it slowly joined its jaws together, creating a low chittering sound.

"Er, guys! I think I found it!" Lexi managed to shout in a whisper.

The three of them stopped walking and stood up straight seeing the demon on the ceiling, right above Lexi, ready to fall and devour her.

"Crap. Okay, whatever you do, do not move"

"Jace, do you honestly think I would move?!" She said. Her hands crept behind her back and grabbed two pink handles and pulled it out slowly. She then flicked both handles, causing a sharp silver metal to slide out each one. As the sound from the demon slowly came to a stop, she managed to place the blade handles on the floor and quickly ran towards the others as it fell from the ceiling and falling onto the blades. It let out a loud screech before devouring the blades into its horrifying mouth.

"My katanas!" Lexi shouted before Alec put his arm over her chest to hold her back.

"Please tell me you bought more than your katanas?" he asked as everyone watched the demon.

"I have my Seraph blade, but we know it's pointless towards it, unless we all attack it at the same time?"

"We could, but then it would heal itself, we need something that would destroy it completely, so it wouldn't be able to heal itself" Izzy pointed out. Lexi then felt someone's hand on her lower spine.

"Whoever is touching me up, I know how to break people's hands" She warned them, before seeing a throwing star being presented in Jace's hand.

"You forgot about these" He said. Lexi took the metal star in her hand and smiled.

"What are those exactly?" Izzy asked

"Throwing stars, ninja's use them in movies, but mine inside contain an explosive. Once it hits something, three seconds later, and boom. I should put them somewhere I remember" She mumbled as she talked on.

"Throw the damn star, it's making its way towards us, in a really...slow...speed" Alec told her.

"Alright, alright" She said before swinging her arm, realising the star, watching it fly towards the demon, only for the demon to engulf it.

"Huh" Lexi was stopped for words

"Now what?" Izzy asked

"I guess we should charge at it-"Jace was interrupted as the demon suddenly exploded, causing green oozy slime to blast everywhere. The four of them, stood covered in slime, wiping her hand over her face, flicking the slime off.

"I told you. Wait three seconds" She mumbled spitting the slime out. "Ew"

"I need to deep condition my hair now!" Izzy complained.

"I need new katanas now" Lexi sighed "Let's get back to the institute and report to the clave, and take a shower"

"Well done, you five have done well" Maryse Lightwood spoke. The woman with long black hair tied back in a ponytail, dark maroon lipstick, a beauty spot, and a stone cold heart managed to congratulate the four of them.

"Well it was Lexi's throwing star that got rid of it" Jace spoke up

"After it devoured my katanas" Lexi added

"Well we will replace when we can" Maryse told her

"When you can? How long am I going to have to wait?" Lexi asked, eyebrows frowning

"We are busy people. You have your Seraph Blades that will have to do" Maryse told her before turning around and walking away.

"Seriously? Whatever, I am going to take a shower" She sighed before walking away from the group and heading towards her room.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking at her image. Her brown hair, her olive toned skin, her plumped lips, all covered in green slime.

"This is going to be tricky to get out" She sighed before walking to her ensuite. She let the shower run, before returning back to her bedroom, managing to slide out of her cat suit. "This is so gross" She sighed cringing. Standing up straight and looking into the other mirror, she smirked seeing someone standing by the door.

"Mind if I join you?" He asked. Lexi raised her eyebrow before turning around and facing Alec.

"Mind if you close the door?" She asked. The black haired boy smirked, before closing the door. She then turned around and headed into the ensuite, Alec following, a smirk still plastered on his face.

"So much for a shower" She told him wrapping a white fluffy towel around her body, as she left the bathroom.

"Well you should know by now, showers with me don't actually leave you clean" he smirked. Lexi rolled her eyes as she sat on her bed. She then watched him dry his hair in the long mirror hanging along her chest of drawers.

"You know, maybe your mum might be nicer towards me if you actually tell her about us, Alec"

"Or she might react the opposite way. Disown me, or hate you even more"

Lexi then rose her eyebrow at him "Is that what you're worried about?" she asked "That she is going to disown you? Alec, she hates her kids except from Max and Jace. She looks down at Izzy like she is a whore, and nothing you do impresses her. I hate to be the one to say it; she has a stone cold heart"

"Hey, don't talk about my mother like that. She has raised us like a mother should do"

"But she doesn't act like a mother now. More like she is the commander of everything"

"You know nothing about mother's, Lexi, where is yours? She isn't even a Shadowhunter, so don't tell me about my own mother"

Lexi looked at Alec like he just shot her in the heart. She couldn't believe what he just said.

"Please leave" She told him

"What?" he asked raising his eyebrow, frowning

"You're ashamed of me Alec. And because of me, you're frightened of what your mother would think of you if she found out about us" She told him, standing up, standing her ground "We have been seeing each other for two years. You won't allow me to tell my own father. It's not fair!"

"You know what's not fair? Being pounded on by your girlfriend about who to tell about our private life"

"So I am your girlfriend? Is that what I am? Well it doesn't feel like it. Just leave Alec, before I throw you out" she warned him. A sigh escaped from his mouth before he got changed and headed to the door. Opening it, seeing Izzy standing outside, shock appearing on her face, then a smirk, from discovering the secret the lovers had kept. Alec slammed the door shut, causing Lexi to jump.

She had never been so hurt from a man she loved. But maybe his feelings were different from hers. Staring back at the mirror, she looked at her reflection, with an angry expression on her face. She let out a loud frustrated groan, before gasping from the mirror hanging up to explode onto the floor. Looking wide eyed, she looked at the glass on the floor.

"What the..."
