This was the part of every battle that Alec hated. It was one of the few things he hated about being an archer. He had to stand back and wait while Jace was in danger. He might be able to pick off some of the creatures that were rushing Jace, but he wasn't there, fighting seamlessly with his parabatai.
Taking a deep breath, he ignored the mass of creatures crawling along the cavern floor. Since he wasn't near them, they didn't seem to be paying attention to him. Maybe they couldn't 'see' him when he was above them. Whatever the reason, he wasn't the center of attention like Jace was.
As soon as Jace spoke, Alec pulled one of his runed arrows from his quiver, lining up the target and letting the arrow fly. He fired again and again, not waiting to see if he hit the spot that Jace had marked. He knew with a certainty that hummed through him like the beating of his heart that he wouldn't miss.
Before the rock started to explode, Alec switched bow for blade and leapt from his perch. Landing in the middle of the cavern, he searched for Jace while hacking at the bioraptors. "If you don't fall back, I'm going to break out the Mundie toys!"
