After the confrontation in the basement they find their way to the others, hearing grunts and clashing before they enter. Alec is quick to rise his bow and pull an arrow back as the vampire, that night child, has Clary in his clutches. All Katy wants to do is run to her sisters aid yet she forces herself to stop for a moment with wide eyes as she quickly plans her next move. Jace is struggling, two vampires on him so she makes a choice and so does Alec. "Okay." Alec speaks before re-aiming his arrow slightly as Katy moves over to help Jace. She reaches Jace, but the vampire senses her run over. Katy doesn't hesitate with seraph blade as one of the vampires turn to her. An arrow flies through the air like a whip and a whole is smashed into the wall, crumbling and bringing sunlight in and Katy strikes with the blade but he catches her wrist. Her eyes widen, snapping to meet his dark green with are wide an manic. She lets out a pained noise, trying not to scream as he applies pressure on her wrist. Her mouth is open and she drops the blade, hand going stiff.

Clary pulls away from the vampire who burns away in an instant as sunlight hits him, disappearing in orange and black sparks as Katy jerks up her knee when the vampire captures her other wrist. The night child hisses in pain as her knee collide with his crotch, in rage her uses all his strength to step forward, forcing her back, unknowingly kicking the seraph blade back before pushing her back onto the ground and across the room with inhumane strength. She grunts, all the air getting knocked out of her lung, hitting the ground and the vampire turns back to fight with Jace.

Isabelle is stepping forward, whip at the ready, Alec turning to her but Katy shakes her head as she picks the seraph blade back up just as Clary picks up her own. The adrenaline coursing through her veins distract her, doesn't even have her feeling the pain of her injured wrist. Jace pulls away from one of the vampires, striking him, lunging at the one that threw Katy. The vampire and blonde fight, striking and dodging. Jace manages to land a kick to the vampires just sending him stumbling back and suddenly the vampire explodes in a bunch of sparks showing Katy standing where he stood, seraph blade in hand, panting.

Suddenly with a grunt before her and Jace can communicate they look over to Clary just in time to see her kill the vampire. Katy lets out a shudder of a breathe, her sword falling from her hand and she watches it clink against the smooth stone floor. Katy, breathless, looks up to Clary who seems like she's in shock, looking at the seraph blade like it's the worst thing in the world. The brunette girls face falls, eyes shutting and turning her head away. They both toke lives today..Their lives were never meant to be like this, they were never meant to be killers, there's no real way they can come back from it and be who they were again. All words are caught in the older girls throat because really what can she say in this moment. She opens her eyes again as her sister finds words to speak.

"I killed him." The words slip past Clary's lips so quite, the redhead girl Katy swore to her mother she'd protect has now killed someone. Clary's alive, and that's what matters. The girl looks devastated and Katy feels that.

"He was already dead." Jace tells her, with a short shrug and slight jerk of his head. The red head looks at her, breathless but tilts her head, accepting that answer slowly and it soothes her partly. Katy finds no comfort in his words. It's Isabelle that notices it's a battle for Katy accepting that has taken yet another life. The girl looks at the seraph blade on the ground, she lowers herself and picks it up as if its something evil. she can feel a part of her soul tarnish, twist and change with each life she takes, even if it was a vampire or a demon. She killed to save her sister at Pandemonium but now she's killed again to save, Jace, a man she hardly knows...and so did Clary...Katy looks up to him, mourning the further loss of herself. Jace is panting slightly, looking at her he gives a curt nod of his head in thanks but she doesn't want it. Isabelle walks over needing to assure, strengthen the girl, both of the girls.

"Plus, He wanted to kill you." The raven haired woman speaks firmly looking at the redhead as she strides over before stopping, looking back to the older sister. Isabelle and Katherine. Katy toke great faith in letting Isabelle protect her sister but when that happened got taken and Isabelle felt like she let the girl down, something that paused or slowed down their growing friendship. Right now, getting Simon back, will right it even though Katy doesn't blame Isabelle for this, the women did nothing wrong. Isabelle again seeing how torn Katy look as she walks closer, continues speaking.

"Wanted to kill you and your sister, remember that." The Lightwood woman tells her soft as a feather yet firm and though her eyes shine with unshed tears, Katy will never forget that. Her soft eyes flick over, making her sister is somewhat okay before flitting back to Izzy who smiles softly but sadly. "They did great, right?"

"You should be proud." He tells them and she looks at him like she's insane. Proud of what? Being a killer even though, debatably, she did save his life.

"Thanks but this isn't about us-" Clary starts but Katy cuts her off, looking at the blonde, stepping closer to him.

"Proud? I'm supposed to be proud? hat I-" She starts feeling outraged, her voice climbing higher and higher, practically shaking as she stares Jace right in the eye. Isabelle is still, looking like she wants to calm the girl, to say something, to ask if the girl is okay but its the sound of movement at her side that cuts her off. She stops herself, head turning and eyes flitting to see Alec standing closer to her side, close enough that she could reach out and touch him. He looks at her, he wants to say something it clear but he doesn't, doesn't need to. His eyes fill with concern but his face is more observant. She lets out a breath, looking for an answer and he gives her a single look and it's more than enough to ground her. Katy swallows pressing her lips together before looking between the group. "Look, Right now, This is about Simon. So, let's go get him back." She speaks firmly, not a single room for argument, clutching the blade tighter, reminding herself why she's her as she turns on her feet and starts walking.

The group walk through the halls and turn, finding themselves in another room, the right one. That's when she sees him, she sees Simon and the relief is only short lived. The same vampire that toke Simon has a knife to his throat, holding Simon tight against him."Simon...Puppy." She calls out to him, his nickname sounding like an after though. She is wanting nothing more then touch him, hug him, make sure that he is okay as she moves forward while Alec rises his bow, Izzy holds her whip and Clary clutches her blade. Jace's hand darts out, grabbing Katy, holding her back and forcing her to stay.

"Kate, that's not going to do any good." Jace warns her, also looking to Clary who also seems ready to run over. After all this, Simon is right there...is she not supposed to run to him? Though running to him when a vampire is holding a knife to his throat doesn't seem the best idea when she thinks about it.

"Listen to him, Katherine Morgenstern." The vampire, Raphael Santiago, tells her, inching the blade up to his jaw more and she freezes. That name...why do people keep calling her that yet calls Clary by Fairchild? For the simply reason she looks like her father? It hurts to hear. "Put it down." He orders them, referring to the weapons they hold. I've had more than enough of your friend today. I'd love to cut his throat. Don't give me a reason."Katy is the only one who actually moves to put her weapon away, desperate to save her friend but that is not enough for the vampire. "All of you! Put it down!" The vampire shouts, white fangs showing threateningly. The rest of the group cave and put down their weapons.

"Simon, Simon, Are you alright?" "Are you okay, Puppy?" The girls ask at the same time, which isn't too strange for them, especially since right now they are concerned about their friends safety.

"Well, I wouldn't say alright or okay..." Simon stammers out with wide eyes, fearing for his life.

"Stop talking!" Raphael hisses, furious, having enough of the mundanes voice for the week. "Now, If you would all just follow me." He continues looking back to the shadowhunters before stepping back, still holding Simon, dragging him with him with a knife against his throat. "Lets go!" He orders them and they follow, Alec and Izzy moving to the front of the group.

Raphael forces the group to follow him, blade never leaving Simon's neck, making go through tunnels and halls until finally they turn once more, into a much slimmer hall that was up a small set of steps.

"We don't want to hurt you!" Clary tries to reason with the vampire as Jace is beside her and Katy is just behind them.

"We just want Simon!" Katy shouts, pleading but also angered and loud.

"I'm glad you do." Raphael tells them firmly, clearly not wanting Simon himself. "We don't. We wanted you." He tells them, fangs gleaming in the hall. Katy feels rage start to bubble up.

"Well, here I am!" She tries to push forward, fierce look in her eyes, but Jace is quick to push Katy back over to Isabelle who forces Katy behind her, away from Raphael and close to Alec while Jace grabs Clary, stopping from doing what Katy tried.

"I said wanted." Raphael remarks and the vampire keeps stepping forward forcing the group up another small set of steps. "Not my idea." He tells them as he continues before stopping in his tacks when they get to the door. "Get out! Go!" No one makes a move to leave and both the twins speak up.

"No! Not with out Simon!"

"Not without Simon!" Clay agrees.

"Shut up! Open that door or I will kill him, right here." Raphael tells them annoyed, obviously growing impatient.

"Listen to him!" Jace orders. Alec reaches for the door as soon as the words pass his parabatai's lips. Katy tries to move forward back to Simon but Isabelle isn't letting that happen, blocking her way and neither is Alec. "No!" She shouts, wanting to insure her best friend's safety and so does Clary.

"No, Simon will die-!" Clary starts loudly, only to be cut off as the vampire lets out pained, terrified grunt like pants, throwing himself and Simon behind a poll as sunlight beams in. Alec doesn't wait for further instruction to leave he grabs Katy by the back of her jacket, knowing she will try to stay and get herself killed. She lets out a shocked breath, not even having time to argue as Alec pushes her out onto the roof, following closely behind. She takes a few steps when he pushes her further, turning to him, looking like she's going to say something, thinking that Simon is going to be trapped in the vampires lair for longer but she softens when she sees the others come out. Izzy, Clary follow by Jace pulling out Simon.

Relief washes over her like a tidal wave. "Puppy." She breathes out and Alec, turns his head away before walking to Jace as she runs past him wrapping her arms around the mundane. She closes her eyes, as he wraps his arms around her tighter than ever. His arms always bring comfort and he melts into her embrace.

"Kitten." He mumbles against her hair and she just...she is so thankful he is alive. She hates that this happened to him because of her. She starts to pull away slightly but she stops. She doesn't even think about it as she presses a kiss more to the corner of his lips rather than his cheek and he hold his breath, wanting nothing more then just turn his head and kiss her. She pulls back again but still not far. "You're hurt." She notices the small cut on his forehead, speaking quietly.

"I'm okay." He promises, looking at her like he can't believe she's real. She's shaking slightly and he notices. "I am okay, I promise. I'd do anything for you." He swears, lips quirking up and he lifts a hand, touching her cheek.

"You don't have to die." She tells him, shaking her head.

"I'd rather not do that." He admits and she darts forward again, hugging him After a long moment she pulls back and he looks to the others. "Shouldn't we get the hell out of here?" He asks the others and Jace looks at him, confused.

"Why, Simon?" Jace asks, not really understanding.

"Cause they're right downstairs!" The mundane argues, stepping closer to the blonde and Jace looks at him like he's an idiot.

"Let them come after us. They'll just turn into a bunch of fried eggs out here. I thought you said you watched movies." Jace huffs out before walking off, to follow Izzy and Alec up on another part of the roof. Katy looks to Clary and Simon before moving to follow the three other shadow hunters to let Clary have her moment, reuniting with Simon. Alec pulls Jace to the said so she walks to Isabelle.

"Isabelle." Katy starts as the women pulls out lip gloss and a compact mirror.

"Yes?"

"Thank you." The younger tells the older straight away, nothing but honesty in her voice and that makes Isabelle pause, looking to her carefully and relieved. "Thank you, Isabelle." She continues and Isabelle smiles, looking at her softly.

"No need to thank me, Katy. It's my job and-" Isabelle starts but the younger girl cuts her off.

"I want you to know I never blamed you." Katy speaks carefully, trying to make that very clear and Isabelle tilts her head.

"I know...Though I have a question." The raven haired girls trails off, looking over to the mundane and Katy does as well. "Do you love him? Do you love, Simon?" Isabelle questions her and Katy looks back to the older women, wide eyed at the question.

"I..." She ties to answer but the answer is harder to find that it would have been a few days ago. The brunette's face softens and she looks confused when she looks back to meet Izzy's eyes. "I don't know." She breathes out and that's the truth, Isabelle can see it in her eyes. The women tilts her head and pursing her lips slight.

"You should thank Alec too..." She speaks thoughtfully and knowingly.

"Alec, Enough!" Jace's voice suddenly cracks through the air in a shout causing all heads to turn to the adoptive brothers. Isabelle looks over at the boys before back to Katy.

"Come on." Isabelle tells the girl, offering her her hand as she moves to start walking off. Katy takes her hand and lets Isabelle lead her away. It's not long until Alec is storming after them from the fight with Jace then Clay, Jace and Simon making there way to them.
