"No shit," Quinn growled. He glared at her. "You were going the wrong way; the portal's behind me, in case you didn't realize. Despite whatever you Shadowhunters think of me, I don't want to see an innocent person hurt." He jerked his head in the direction of the portal, eyes narrowed and hurt. "I'm not a monster. But hey, I was just trying to help; get you away from the faeries that wanted to kill you. But by all means, go ahead. Kill me. End my torment of living as an outcast, despised for the breath that I draw; despised for my birth."

Hope rolled her eyes, "Shut up."she snapped, there was no way she would take an innocent life. "You go first."she said as her whip shot out and curled around his waist. Without warning she hopped on his back. She grabbed a blade from her ankle sheath and she pressed the dagger to his throat. "Try and funny buisness and this blade goes into your throat."she warned.

[so close to finished my research paper.]
"Yeah," Quinn huffed. "I'm totally scared. Petrified, really." With a snort, he spun and headed down the hall, keeping his senses out for any sign of the fae folk who were, more or less, scouring the halls for any sign of Hope. "There. See? There's the portal." With a sigh, Quinn peered down the hall-way, looking for any sign of danger, before he gave Hope a nod and strode forward, walking rapidly towards the portal.
Raphael stared, his expression blank, as new Shadowhunters approached the sobbing form of Clary. Was Raphael grieving? Yes, he was; but he was extremely pissed at the moment, so it was hard for him to express sorrow. He often had trouble with socializing; he'd been diagnosed by his dad, who was a doctor, with Asperger's Syndrome.

Hope nodded,"Hurry!"she hissed in his ear, hearing the pounding of the footsteps behind them. "Their coming! Hurry."she repeated, shealthing her blade once more."I promise you if this is a trap. You'll be better off dead. Your life will be hell."she hissed, glancing behind them."Shit."she muttered as she saw Merlion following at their heels."He's gaining. C'mon! Hurry."she snapped. Hope was muddled and confused, but she put all her strength and enegry into escaping. Afte they escaped she could think about all her problems. But not now. Not with both their lives on the line.
"Jace!"Clary cried out as she was embraced by the friece Shadowhunter. He was the best Shadowhunter since Will Herondale, but slowly he was losing his title to his daughter. She was as good if not better than he ever was. She was just that quick and her speed did not come from a rune either. "They have Hope. The Fair folk."she cried, burying her face in his shoulder. All Jace did was nod, fury blooming in his eyes. No one messed with his family. No one.

Quinn cursed, spun and grabbed Hope, throwing her over his shoulder. With the last of his energy, he lunged, pouring on the speed. The portal loomed into view, and Quinn grunted, hurtling himself and Hope forward. So close...
Raphael stared at Jace for a long moment, before he bowed his head. "I am sorry." His voice was soft, and flat. "I could not save her. I am sorry. I failed." He had a dazed look, as if he didn't know how to react. Raphael - well, Raphael was like Will Herondale, with his skill, though Hope was better than him - for now. He looked broken and tired, shoulders slumped, skin pale, face gaunt.

Hope's Steele flashed in the light as she quickly gave herself a rune of strength. It was temporary of course, but it would last long enough for what she had planned. In a burst of speed, she catapulted herself off his shoulder. She landed in a crouch and than grunted as Quinn knocked into her back, but she didn't budge. Instead, she grabbed Quinn's waist and pulled him over her shoulder. She ran than. As fast as could. Towards the portal.
Jace didn't even look at him, he simply nodded. Wheels were turning in his head. He needed a Serpah blade and he would be gone.

Quinn's vision distorted as they flew through the portal, appearing once again at Central Park. "Damn," he panted, coughing. He went still when he realized that Jace was here, along with Raphael. "Damn," he repeated in a mutter, readying himself for a fight to the death. He wasn't gonna go down easily, that was for sure.

Hope stumbled as she went through the portal,"Ooof!"she grunted as she fell to the ground. She tumbled for a moment and than finally ended up on the soft ground. She didn't see Jace or Clary or Luka or even Raphael. All she saw was Quinn coming straight at her. She grunted as they collided, but as soon as she caught her breath, she began to laugh. She didn't care that her family was right there. She was just grateful to be alive. Of course, she wasnt afraid of death. No Shadowhunter was, but just because she wasn't scared of it didn't mean she wanted it to happen to her.

Raphael's cry of surprise echoed and he lunged forward, shoving Quinn off of Hope with all of his might. He let out a low growl of warning, bending to help Hope to her feet. "Are you okay?" he asked softly, amber eyes watching her carefully. He was utterly surprised see her. With a never-ending gentleness, he placed his hands beneath her arms, gently pulling her to her feet. He eyed Quinn carefully, noting the wary look in the creature's eyes.
Quinn grunted as Raphael slammed into him, throwing him off. He coughed, struggling to gather his breath as he pushed himself to his feet again.

Hope nodded,"I'm fine. I might need an iratze or two, but I'm fine."she said, nodding. She swooned slightly on her feet and than she fell. Her ankle had given out on her, but just as it did Clary and Jace made a move towards Quinn,"no! He saved me. You can't hurt him. He saved my life and so I owe him and as such he will be staying in the institute with us until whenever he sees fit to leave. And who knows? A werewolf could be handy."she said, from the ground. She didn't dare look at her ankle already knowing it was broken.
(An iratze is a healing rune btw xD)
Ren growled softly and turned and stalked away, heading away from the small group of Shadowhunters. It wasnt fair really. Hope was his girl and guys were all over her. He didn't like it. Not one stinky bit.
