Season 1 Episode 2: The Descent Into Hell Isn't Easy.

"Clary. Khloe. Come on we gotta go." Simon said.

Clary broke eye contact with Khloe and looked at Simon. Khloe looked at Jace and nodded telling him they'll go with him.

"Simon we think Jace can help us," Clary replied.

"What?"

Jace and Khloe started walking up the stairs and Clary dragged Simon up.

"Come on," Clary said.

"How do we know this mc jaguar guy isn't gonna try-"

"Mundane." Jace cut him off turning around the face him. "We do not have the time."

Khloe was waiting at the door for the other. Jace turned around and ran up the rest of the stairs Clary grabbed Simons arm and dragged him up. Khloe opened the door and held the door open for everyone only walking in once everyone else had. She closed the door behind her stopping the night air from hitting her skin.

Jace rolled up his sleeve and pulled out his Stele. He drew a rune on his wrist while Simon looked at Clary with a horrified expression on his face.

"I know trust me," Clary whispered to Simon.

"He's like burning himself," Simon whispered back.

Jace grabbed Simon's hand and Simon immediately began freaking out.

"Buddy what's going on? You're not my type I'm not even-" He stopped squirming and slowly everything Shadowhunters saw he saw.

Smirking Jace pulled his hand away from Simons.

"What the?" Simon said. "Clary is there a war going on that I don't know about?"

"There is now,"Jace said walking further into the institute.

"And I think mom is in the middle of it," Khloe said following Jace.

"You coming?" Jace asked Simon.

"Yeah," Simon said following behind Clary. "What is this place?"

Khloe followed Jace over to one of the screens as Simon took the place in. Everything from the people to the tech and weapons that gave him the chills.

"There's a lot of gear in here what'd they do, rob a tech store?" Simon asked.

The Fray twins and Simon stopped and watched as Jace pulled up the cameras.

"So this cold blooded killer is going to help us?" Simon asked.

"He's not a killer. He's protecting us." Clary said.

"Specifically you." Jace looked at Simon. "It's kind of our thing."

"Your thing? You guys have a thing?"

"He means a ShadowHunter thing," Khloe said. "That's what ShadowHunters do. Protecting humans from demons."

"Demons, right. That makes perfect sense, 'cause there are demons running all over New York."

"That is the first right thing you've said all day," Jace said to Simon.

Khloe frowned. "You've only known him for five minutes..." She pointed out.

No one had a chance to say anything as the screen in front of them beeped. It switched to a camera in hat showed two police officers out the front of the institute.

"NYPD!" An officer yelled at the door.

"Won't they find us?" Clary asked.

"No," Jace replied. "Our wards will deter them. And NYPD will do their typical Mundine thing from a few hours. Then the area will be clear." 

Khloe glared at the officers on the screen. Not because she hated them but because seeing them reminded her of Luke. And she did not want to think about Luke right now.

"What is going on?" Alec asked rolling up his sleeves as he walked over. His eyes hit Simon then lingering on Khloe's before he looked at Jace. "Why is there a mundane in the institute?"

"A circle member followed him to get to Clary and Khloe." Jace sighed.

"A circle rune just like us who took out mother," Cleary said.

"Yes, Clary a circle rune means they are apart of the circle. The circle took mom." Khloe sassed.

"What exactly is a circle member and why are they trying to kill us?" Simon asked.

"All we know is a long time ago the circle lead a revolt. A lot of ShadowHunters got killed. Including my father." Jace responded.

"And since the revolt we've been forbidden to even hear about the circle," Alec said.

"But how's that even possible? It's your history." Clary said.

Jace scoffs. "Says the girl who didn't even know she was a ShadowHunters."

"Yeah. Yeah, you're right. And now the only person who knows the truth is missing, so I don't care about your stupid rules or what's forbidden, I'm, there's got to be someone who can tell us why they've taken our mother." Clary retorted.

Khloe couldn't help but disagree. These rules were there for a reason. The two had barely been ShadowHunters for five minutes and Clary already wanted to go ahead and break rules that not even experienced ShadowHunters even thought about doing. If the two wanted to find their mother Khloe wanted to do it by following the rules or a least some of them.

"Clary maybe we should listen to them. They know what they are doing. We have only just learned about this whole other world not 5 minutes ago. If we go up against them then we won't stand a chance." Khloe said.

"But we have Jace." Clary snapped.

"Yeah and if everything he just said is true then it seems like we're gonna need a lot more than Jace," Khloe responded.

"So your saying you don't want to find our mother," Clary replied bitterly.

"no that's not what I'm saying. I just think we should stick to the rules." Khloe rolled her eyes.

"Since when do you ever follow the rules?!" Clary yelled at her older twin.

"Since our mother was taken!" Khloe yelled back louder causing a few people passing by to look in her direction.

The boys stood awkwardly to the side whilst the two glared each other down when Clary finally gave up and spun around to face Jace knowing she could get her way with him.

"There has to be someone who can tell me where to find my mother." Clary batted her eyelashes at Jace pleadingly causing Khloe to roll her eyes yet again.

"There is," Jace said causing Khloe to throw her hands up slightly in disbelief.

Clary and Simon began following Jace into the training room when Jace stopped them.

"What's going on with you and your sister?" Alec asked the strawberry blond.

Khloe shrugged. "I guess I'm the only one thinking logically out of the two of us." She paused for a second. "Like always."

Alec laughed lightly. "Do you two normally get along?" He asked.

"I mean we used to be so close. and then we drifted apart beyond repair." Khloe sighed. "And now we're just broken." She looked down to the ground lightly before looking back at Alec.

"What happened?" Alec asked.

Khloe's hand flew to her neck and she began to play around with her necklace. She hoped Alec didn't notice her actions and if he did he didn't have any time to question it before Jace spoke again.

"You coming?' He looked over at the eldest twin.

"I'm good. I'd rather not be the third wheel any longer." She muttered the last part under her breath so quiet that Alec barely heard what she said.

Clary rolled her eyes at her sister before following after Jace. Khloe scoffed rolled her eyes at the fact that clary now had two guys pining over her. 

"So are you always the third wheel or something?"

"You could say that." Khloe shrugged lightly. 

The two chatted for a moment longer when Clary suddenly rushed out of the training room and headed towards the door with tears in her eyes. Khloe frowned and told Alec she would be back before following after Clary.

"Clary!" She called out.

Clary stopped before she reached the entrance and turned to face Khloe with tears streaming down her face.

"What the hell happened?" Khloe asked eyes wide with confusion.

"M-mum she-she was--" Clary began before she flung herself into Khloe's arms causing Khloe's confusion to grow even more.

"Calm down and tell me," Khloe said wrapping her arms around her younger sister and pulling her closer because despite their minor disagreement the only thing they had left was each other.

"Mom she was a part of the circle," Clary spoke calmer than before. Khloe's eyes widen again even further only this time in shock.

"W-what?" Khloe managed to choke out. 

"But she left and she hid the cup from Valentine which is why he took her." Clary began.

Khloe sighed as Clary pulled away. "Again with this cup?! What's so important about this damn thing anyway?" 

"That's what I'm about to tell you," Jace said walking up behind the girls. "If the cup lands in his hands he not only has the power to create an infinite amount of shadowhunters for his army but he can also control demons," Jace said.

"Perfect," Khloe said sarcastically.

Clary took a step towards the wall taking a deep breath to attempt to calm herself down. "Okay so we know that Valentine is back, and he wants the cup. And for some reason, he thinks that our mother has it."

"Could she?" Jace shrugged attempting to throw suggestions around.

Khloe frowned thinking about any time she ever saw her mother with a cup that matched the mortal cups description. "I've never seen her with anything."

"Neither," Clary replied.

"Look, Clary, you know about the runes, you've drawn them. You know something think please." Jace urged.

"I've tried okay it's just empty blackness." She spat.

Khloe sighed as Jace looked in her direction for any help only to get the same answer. "Same here." The strawberry blond shrugged.

"Your memory's have been wiped." Jace ran a hand over his face hoping that he was wrong.

"Is that even possible?" Khloe asked at the same time as Clary said, "That's not possible."

"Absolutely. If you know a warlock." Jace replied.

"A warlock?" Clary said in disbelief.

"Yes Clary, they're immortal beings half hum, half demon. Sometimes their fingers spark."

Khloe's eyes widen as Dot pops into her mind. "Clary, Dot." She said reminding her of the girl.

"Yes, Dot mom's assistant, her hands had this purple glow when she opened the wall and mom pushed us through and we ended up at the police station," Clary told Jace.

"That was a portal. Dot must have been a warlock. Only warlocks can create them."

"Okay so if we find the real Dot and not some demon that looks like her she could help us find the cup and we can get our mother back?" Khloe asked Jace.

Jace shrugged, "Unless she's working for Valentine."

Clary thought for a moment as did Khloe when Clary spoke first. "Even better." Khloe frowned, "She'll lead us right to him." 

Clary stepped way from Jace and began walking into the main hall calling out for Simon. Jace glanced over at Khloe. Khloe noticed his glance on her.

"What?" The girl asked.

"Nothing." Jace shrugged.

Khloe rolled her eyes and began following Clary into the main hall.

***

Once the Fray twins were changed and ready to leave, they stood in the training room wait for Jace to arrive. Simon and Clary were off to the side talking in hushed tones while Khloe watched Isabelle open up the weapons case.

Izzy ran her hand along one of the blades when Jace came up behind her and slapped her hand away lightly. "No, Izzy."

"Fifty bucks says he doesn't approve of this mission," Izzy said running her hand along the blades again as Alec walked into the room.

"I don't approve of this mission," Alec said stopping beside the strawberry blond, "I spoke with the clave. They said they're sending Seelie scouts to look for Valentine, but they made it clear, the little girl and her sister do not leave the premises." He pointed in Clary's direction and the words "little girl" and at Khloe when saying "her sister".

"Hey, my name is not "little girl okay." Clary turned to look at Alec. "I don't care what that Clave the or you want, I'm going to find dot."

Khloe rolled her eyes once again thinking back to the conversation the two had earlier. It was obvious that Clary didn't take any of it in and would continue to do everything her way until someone ends up getting killed because they didn't follow the rules. It's happened before.

"Alec, this warlock could have the answers we need," Jace said pulling Alec away from glaring at Clary. "With Valentine's people out there searching for Clary and Khloe, neither of them are safe out there alone."

"Jace has a point." Izzy agreed.

"et tu, Izzy. All right since you have all the answers where do you suggest we search then?" Alec asked turning to glare at Clary who was fiddling with her necklace. 

"We should start at Dot's apartment in Greenpoint, and there's this thrift store--" Clary was cut off when she suddenly gasped in sync with Khloe and they were both pulled into a vision of some sort.

Dot ran down the alleyway blood dripping for her cheek as she panted heavily. She suddenly stopped in front of a flashing red neon sign that read: pandemonium.

"What is it? What's wrong?" Alec asked Khloe his voice laced with concern.

"I, um... I think I might know where Dot is." Khloe said.

"Me too," Clary said.

Khloe frowned having no idea what happened. But whatever happened it clearly happened to the two twins and neither of them knew why.

"Great, I'll drive." Simon pulled out his keys and spun them around his finger.

Everyone looked at Simon who shrugged. "What? Unless you have, like, a Shadowhunter-mobile or something." He said causing Izzy to chuckle while Clary cracked a light smile. HE suddenly looked down at the training room floor.

"You were kidding about the runes on the floor killing me... right?" Simon looked at Jace. Jace looked at Alec who gave a sly smile.

"Possibly," Jace said patting Simon on the shoulder as everyone followed him out.

"Wait am I gonna die?" Simon asked as Khloe walked out beside Alec.

***

Khloe, Clary, Alec, Jace, Izzy and Simon all walked towards the Pandemonium club Clary leading the way with Khloe standing at the back with Alec and Izzy.

The twins gasped as they were pulled into another vision.

Dot lay on the ground struggling as rouge shadowhunters held a seraph blade to her throat. 

"Dot." Clary gasped loud enough for all of them to hear before she began running trying to get there as fast as possible. 

Jace, Izzy, and Simon began to run after her and so did Alec until he noticed Khloe had stopped. 

"Hey, you coming?" He asked the girl who was looking down at the ground as tears began to gather in her eyes.

"It's too late." She whispered loud enough for him to hear.

"What do you mean?" Alec asked taking a step closer to the girl.

"I-I saw it."

"What did you see? What was it?" He asked.

"Two circle members. They had her. They took her. She's gone." Khloe said trying to rid the tears in her eyes.

Alec sighed looking around, "We have to get the others. It's not safe here." He said.

Khloe nodded as the two started jogging towards the entrance to the club. Once they arrived at the club entrance Khloe stopped again getting a bad feeling. Alec noticed her reluctance to go inside and questioned it.

"Now what?" He asked slightly concerned.

"I just don't want to go inside. I just have a bad feeling about it." She said looking up at the flashing red sign.

"Well, you can't stay out here. Not alone." The raven haired boy replied.

"Watch me." Khloe took a step away from the door and Alec rolled his eyes. "Khloe get inside."

"No." She stated simply. 

He huffed rolling his eyes causing Khloe to smirk. She knew she had won.

"Okay fine. I'll back I'm gonna tell the others where we are."

"We?" Khloe questioned.

"Like I said I'm not leaving you alone out here. Not when Valentine is after you and the little girl."  Alec replied taking a step closer to the eldest Fray twin.

Khloe raised her eyebrows. "What?" Alec questioned.

"Nothing." Khloe shrugged innocently.

Alec sighed rolling his eyes and turning around. "I'll be back." He yelled over his shoulder.

"Mkay." Khloe laughed as Alec left.

Silence filled the air as Alec left Khloe standing alone. Khloe exhaled trying to work out how the visions worked. she thought up everything she possibly could. Her hand flew up to her chest to play with the necklace that once belonged to her best friend.

Then it hit her. The necklace her mother gave the two of them before they were pushed through the portal. Clary had been playing with her necklace when they were pulled into the first vision in the training room. And then she remembered her others words 'put these on and think of me when you wear them.

Khloe and clary thought they were both just random birthday presents as it was after all their birthday. But it turns out that they were all so much more than that.

Khloe was snapped out of her thoughts when she heard a noise come from behind her. She spun around quickly to see where the noise came from.

Seeing nothing she decided to pull a stupid move by going to see where the noise came from. She took a few steps towards where the noise was heard and saw nothing. Then she heard it again. Only this time it was from behind her causing her to spin around so fast she almost gave herself whiplash.

Nothing. paranoia set in as her eyes scanned the area. Maybe this is why she was having a bad feeling. Suddenly fear began to creep into her system and she couldn't help but want Alec by her side.

The noise came again only this time when he spun around someone was there. Khloe let out a scream as a man in his late 30's with brunette hair tackled her to the ground and pulled out a seraph blade. The blade lit up in his hands and Khloe's eyes fell on his neck as she spotted a circle rune.

Khloe couldn't help but roll her eyes as she struggled under the man's grip. Kicking and yelling at him to get off of her his eyes scanned her face.

"Now I'm not that smart but judging by the looks of you, you're a Fairchild." He began as Khloe's hand began searching for something anything to help her. "Now Valentine wants you. So I can't kill you. and quite frankly I don't want to."

Khloe hand finally found something to the side. Although she wasn't sure what it was she was willing to try fight with it. "That's too bad." She hissed tightening her grip on the makeshift weapon.

With all her force she hit the weapon against the guys head and he groaned rolling off of her as she scrambled to get up. By the time she stood the man was on her hands and knees. Khloe watched him bring and hand to his hand and pull it away to see a crimson liquid on his hand.

Khloe couldn't hold back the smirk and her incredibly hard hit. Her smirk dropped though when he let out a loud growl and began to stand up. In panic she hit him across the back of the hand with what she now realized was a thick tree branch -how did it get down there? Who knows- as hard as she could sending him to the ground again.

The hit wasn't hard enough to knock him out but she hoped the next hit would be. She began to raise the stick in the air to get another hard hit when he grabbed her shoe and yanked at it causing her to fall to the ground.

she quickly began crawling away as pain prickled at her back due to her rough landing. Before she could get any further the man's hand grabbed Khloe's foot and her tried pulling her toward him.

Anger filled Khloe as he touched her shoes. Her shoes. How dare he. So she did the only thing she really could do. she pulled her foot as far away as possible before swinging her foot into the man's face
