They left the room without saying anything; the reality of the situation hit me like a thousand bricks. He was going to die, and I couldn't do anything about it. No, no I wouldn't let him die; I couldn't let him die, not now, not ever!
How can I? How can I let my whole world slip away so easily? How can I give up! His own parents are letting go, and now they expect me too as well. But how, when they don't even know what he is to me. I pretend to be just his acutance, for his sake, because if they were to find out about us he would pay deeply for it. I am a warlock and he a shadow hunter. It's forbidden, some would even say wrong or unholy for us to be together in anyway other than work. They would strip him of his marks, and make him a mundane. There is no way I could do that to him, it's his world, and without it I don't know how he would make it. I guess in the end we all do things we wouldn't normally for those we love, and he is the only one I love. He is the only one I have loved in a very long time. But unlike me, he has others he loves and who love him, more than just his cold parents. His siblings, they all love him not just that they also depend on him. Now who would they have? Sure his parents would probably be around more, but that's not really what they need. No they need someone to talk to, and who will hold them close, they need Alexander Lightwood.
