Sebastian smirked. His black eyes glittered maliciously as he circled around fourteen year old Fenikkusu.
"My daughter," The man crooned. "My lovely daughter. You have your mother's eyes."
"You're sick!" Feni spat, glaring at the man who claimed to be her father. "There's no way you're my dad. Simon Lewis is my father! And Clarissa Morgenstern is my mother! Not whatever demon you took advantage of!"
Sebastian laughed. He put his hand on the girl's head.
"Did they leave you here all alone?" He asked with mock sympathy.
"Michelle and Riley are here!"
The half-demon scoffed.
"Those are all filthy down-worlders! Do you really think that they count as people?"
The rebellious girl glared at the man.
"I might look like you, father," She said mockingly. "I might speak like you, and even act a bit like you, but I. Am. Not. You." She turned to exit the room, but Sebastian intercepted her. He delivered a sharp slap to her cheek
"You will stay here," He sneered. "While your parents are away signing their precious accords."
"Is that so?" A shape loomed in the doorway. "Well, she can leave now."
"Jace!" Feni lifted her bloody face from the floor, seeing her stepfather.
"The one and only." He grinned. "Let's tango, Sebastian." A seraph blade glimmered in his hand.
"Ugh. I feel like shit." Feni groaned, holding and ice pack to her face.
"No surprise there," Clary pointed out to her daughter. "You were kind of attacked and pinned to the floor as a hostage against Jace and I."
"Ugh." Feni repeated, covering her face with her arms.
"Don't be a wiiiiiiiiiiiiiiimp!" A little voice whined. A little annoying seven-year old voice that went by the name of Max. Alec picked up his adopted son.
"Shush, she's hurting." He reprimanded his son. "She had a very hard fight, and she's been deprived of training for two years."
"Don't talk about me like I'm stupid, Alec." Feni's muffled voice called from under a cushion.
"Fehn!" A young six-year old charged into the room.
"Hi, Elizibeth," Feni greeted the kid. Reilly was seated on the couch, reading, andmuttering about Feni's stupidity.
"The irresponsibility of being here all alone, Feni⦠In don't get it! Were you trying to prove that he would come?"
"Maybe?"
