Celine and Hazel were beating the shit out of the demons in the alley way but before she knew it, she was surrounded by demons. Celine swiped her seraph blade round wildly, slicing at the demons but one of them lashed out and tore at her ankle, her flesh ripping and bleeding. She screamed as the ichor and venom seeped into her wound and she fell to the ground, still clutching her blade. They surrounded her like she was a mouse in a circle of starving cats. Celine squeezed her eyes shut. She didn't want to see her own death. Suddenly there was a flash of light as two of the demons disintegrated and the rest scurried back, temporarily blinded by the flash. And there was Finn. He was holding a long seraph blade and the glow from it illuminated his blond hair and fierce eyes.
He looked like an angel.
Celine's vision blurred as Finn disposed of the other three or four demons. The venom was starting to effect her. She could almost feel it pulsing through her veins. Finn moved to Celine's side, ichor staining his blade, "Celine," he asked, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, it's just my ankle." Celine said, shaking the vision of 'angel-Finn' from her mind, "I'll be fine."
Celine got to her feet, pain searing through her ankle. She gritted her teeth and took her stele out from her back pocket. "Hey Finn...Thanks for saving my life back there." She drew an iratze into her forearm.
Finn looked flustered, "That was nothing...I didn't...save...your life?" He said, almost confused.
Celine chuckled, "Thanks Finn." she said and kissed him on the cheek.
Finn looked around, bright red exploding across his cheeks. Celine could feel her own blush creeping up her face.
"Do you want to head back now?" Finn asks suddenly
"Yeah."
Celine put her arm around Finn's shoulder and he held her up, walking her back to the Institute.
They'd only just stumbled through the doors of the Institute when Celine fell to the ground.
"Celine!" yelled Finn in alarm, kneeling on the ground beside her.
Celine coughed and she felt the tang of metallic blood in her mouth.
"By the Angel....Clary! Jace! Someone!" Finn called desperately.
No one came.
"Celine! Celine look at me!"
Celine's eyes rolled to Finn, he was blurry and wavering but it was still Finn.
"Finn..." Celine choked out, "Demon-Demon venom..."
"Oh god no." His voice sounded like he was underwater, "Magnus! Magnus please, come here!"
Celine tried to move but pain shot up her leg from her ankle. She screamed and choked again, tears streaming from her eyes. Finn's face fell in and out of focus but she couldn't hear him anymore, there was just a constant buzzing in her ears.
There was a faint thud as someone entered the room.
And then nothing. Black. No noise. No colour.
No Finn.
