Prologue
Alec POV
"Call me." Those were the two little words that made my heart run a marathon. Magnus Bane slipped me a piece of paper as I stumbled out of the house, blushing like a tomato. Jace walked calmly and asked to me hurry along like he had seen nothing. I hoped that he hadn't. He didn't even know that I was gay and I wanted it to stay like that for quite a while. I knew that I couldn't keep my attraction to him a secret forever and was worried that one day my jealousy against Clary would strike out to hit Jace in the face with the truth. How would my parents react?
All my regular thoughts had been pushed to the back of my head as soon I saw him in all of his glittery glory. I was speechless to how beautiful he was and to how of all the people in the party, Magnus had noticed me. It was weird.
Izzy smirked at me as we were walking at the back. Jace and Clary had disappeared and it would only be later that I realized they had gone to save Clary's stupid mundane friend.
"I saw what he said to you Alec."
"And..." I said "It's not like I'm going to call him"
"WHAT? WHY NOT? HE IS FREAKING MAGNUS BANE"
I quickly placed my hand over her mouth sharply "Why don't you say that louder Izz? I don't think the people in England heard you. You can't just go saying stuff like that out loud."
"Sorry" she muttered "But why won't you call him?"
"Umm..."
"It's Jace, isn't it?"
"For once actually, it isn't. It's just... Idon'tknowhowtoaskhimout"
I was hoping that Izzy hadn't heard as she said nothing else but the slight sniggering all the way home proved me wrong.
I walked into my room and stripped off my gear. It was getting quite late and Jace had this habit of wanting to train every morning at 6. It was as if fate had this planned out for me. I stayed up most of the night protecting my siblings and still had wake up during the early hours.
I put on my usual baggy jumper and jeans and went downstairs to find that Jace had returned from his expedition and had got badly hurt. I went into the infirmary and proceeded to have the biggest go at him for what he had done.
"ARE YOU MAD? YOU WALKED INTO A VAMPIRES LAIR AND ALMOST GOT KILLED FOR A MUNDIE"
"Hey! That person is my friend Simon" I barely registered Clary's words and continued talking to Jace whilst patching him up.
I cleaned his wounds and bandaged them to Jace's surprise.
"No Iratze?" He asked
"No." I said "Since you acted like a foolish mundie, you can heal like one"
"Why are you so angry? We do this practically every day"
I was on the verge of tears when I spoke next but kept my voice steady enough to look at him harshly.
"You are right. But when we do this, I'm there Jace. To look after you. To make sure you don't get hurt. I am your parabatai. You could have been killed Jace. What do you think that would have done to Izzy? What do you think it would have done to me?"
"Stop overreacting Alec. I was fine." With that, he walked quickly out of the room before I could say anything else and left me alone. Clary must have left whilst I was tending to his wounds. I wasn't done with her yet.
"Clary!"
She turned around in surprise. I hurried to catch up with her.
"I need to talk to you."
She looked at me in surprise. "What about?"
Now thinking about it, I was quite uncomfortable and hestitated before speaking
"I think you should leave. Go home," I said.
"Alec, the last time I was home, it was infested with Forsaken. And Raveners. With fangs. Nobody wants to go home more than I do, but-"
"You must have relatives you can stay with?" I interrupted her desperately. She needed to go.
"No. Besides, Hodge wants me to stay," she said shortly.
I swallowed hard. "You almost got Jace killed."
"I almost-What are you talking about?"
"Running off after your friend like that-do you know how much danger you put him in? Do you know-"
"Him? You mean Jace? For your information the whole thing was his idea. He asked Magnus where the lair was. He went to the church to get weapons. If I hadn't come with him, he would have gone anyway."
"I don't get it," she said. "Jace is a Nephilim. This is what you do, you rescue people, you kill demons, you put yourselves in danger. How was last night any different?"
Everything just came out in a rush then.
"Because he left me behind!" he shouted. "Normally I'd be with him, covering him, watching his back, keeping him safe. But you-you're dead weight, a mundane."
"No," Clary said. "I'm not. I'm Nephilim-just like you."
My lip curled up at the corner. She was really starting to piss me off. "Maybe," he said. "But with no training, no nothing, you're still not much use, are you? You mundanes are completely selfish, aren't you? Have you no idea what he's done for you, what kind of personal risks he's taken? I'm not just talking about his safety. He could lose everything. He already lost his father and mother; do you want to make sure he loses the family he's got left as well?"
"You should talk about selfish," she hissed, so viciously that I took a step back. "You couldn't care less about anyone in this world except yourself, Alec Lightwood. No wonder you've never killed a single demon, because you're too afraid."
I was stunned. He wouldn't tell her that. He wouldn't. "Who told you that?"
"Jace."
"He wouldn't. He wouldn't say that. "
"He did. You can rant all you want about honor and honesty and how mundanes don't have any of either, but if you were honest, you'd admit this tantrum is just because you're in love with him. It doesn't have anything to do with-"
I moved quickly and shoved her against the wall
"Don't you ever," I whispered, "ever, say anything like that to him or I'll kill you. I swear on the Angel, I'll kill you. "
I swiftly ran to my and shut the door behind be, panting hard. How did she know? How could she possibly know?
It took me a few hours to calm down and I realized that I still had a certain piece of paper in the back pocket of my gear. I reached in and saw the glittery piece with numbers written on it. No, I thought. Maybe later. With all the drama that had gone on today, I just wanted to rest.
However, as I fell asleep, I never realized that I would never see those gold and green cat eyes again. Not till it was too late.
AN – I know that there is not a lot of Malec starting of but there will be a lot more after a couple of chapters.
Please Read and Review :D
