4 years
It has been 4 years since I have seen Clary. Nobody knows what happened to her. All we know is that one night she was there, the next day she was gone. I don't know what happened. Did she leave because of me? Personally I thought everything was going great, we were happier than ever. Clary had become really close with Izzy and even Alec was warming up to her. Ever since it had been known that she left me girls have been throwing themselves at me. But who could blame them, I am amazingly good-looking, with my wavy blonde hair, shinning gold eyes and a body to die for, who wouldn't want a piece of this. But it seems every girl I'm with just fuels my longing for Clary back. No girl could ever replace her.
A lot has changed over 4 years. I have gotten older (of course) at the age of 21 I'm still the best shadow hunter around. But the world has gotten a bit more disturbing. Valentine was dead, but somehow Jonathan was able to sweet talk the Clave into letting him go. He now runs a science lab deep under Alicante. Only the high members of the Clave know what's going on. The only thing I know is that more and more Shadowhunters are disappearing as well as many down worlders. I have no proof but I know that Jonathan is responsible for Clary's disappearance. I am ashamed of myself that I have not been able to stay faithful to Clary over these past few years. But a guy has needs, and I don't even know if she's alive. Isabelle was disgusted by my behaviour but I can't help it. Its not like I jumped into bed with these girls right after Clary disappeared, I spent 2 years searching for her until Maryse told me to stop, there was no trace, no evidence for me to follow.
So that's what brings me to today, sparing with Alec in the training room while Izzy and Ashley watched.
"Kick his ass Alec" called Isabelle from the sidelines
"Baby if you win we can have sex again" Ashley's annoyingly high pitched voice shouted. Isabelle visibly shuddered and I couldn't help but cringe. Even though it didn't give me much of a boost I still pinned Alec to the ground anyway. He grunted as he hit his head hard on the ground "okay okay, you win" he groaned. I smirked down at him "again" I added. He just rolled his eyes and I offered him a hand to get him up. "I'll get you one day" he says. I snorted in an unattractive way "yeah right, you can't beat this" I said gesturing to myself "I'm too good" Alec again rolled his eyes and I just smirked.
Before I could even bask in my glory Ashley came bouncing up to me placing a sloppy kiss on my mouth. I tried not to groan in disgust and just wrapped my arm around he waist pulling her against me, she moaned slightly as she felt me getting harder.
"Ew yuck get a room you two" complained Izzy.
"You're just jealous" replied Ashley in a childish way.
Izzy scrunched up her nose "yes I'm so jealous that you're the one kissing my brother and not me, cause you know I'm hard into the incest type thing"
I tried hiding my smile as Ashley huffed and started pulling me towards the exit, probably wanting to go to my room. But instead Robert Lightwood strolled in looking troubled.
Alec and Izzy immediately stopped what they were doing, all attention on their father. "Dad? What's wrong?" Izzy asked, worry laced her tone.
Robert cleared his throat. "You all have been called upon" he said.
We all looked at each other confused. "Called upon?" I asked hesitantly.
"You have been asked by the Clave to attend a viewing of… of Jonathan's research facility" Robert replied
We were all shocked and silent. "No way" Isabelle said crossing her arms.
Robert sighed. "Isa-"
"No way dad!" Izzy yelled at him. "That lunatic tried to kill us! And the Clave wants us to walk right in to his little freak show? No, no fucking way in hell that's happening"
"Isabelle that's enough" came the stern voice of none other than Maryse Lightwood. Her dark hair was in a tight bun and she was wearing a grey business like suit. "The Clave has invited you and you will take the invite pleasantly" she said in a hallow voice. Almost like she was a robot saying what needed to be said.
Izzy looked at her mother in shock "B-but Mother" she stuttered. But Maryse only held up her hand for silence. "You leave tomorrow morning, along with Magnus and the Day lighter" she said before briskly walking out, Robert trailing behind her.
Alec, who was standing in a shocked silence slid down the wall he was leaning against and stared at his hands. "This must be a trap" he whispered just loud enough for us to hear.
"No doubt about it" I said coldly.
"But why would Mother and Father send us" Isabelle said.
I could only shake my head, as once again Ashley pulled me out of the training room towards my bedroom.
But this time I was more than happy to go.
So yeah this is what I came up with. Hope you guys like it and please review and don't be scared to tell me if it's shit or not. :)
