The Second Generation
Hey readers! This is my first story, ever. But now, a little back round information. This story is based on the second generation of the TMI gang. AKA Jem and Tessa's kid(s), Jace and Clary's, and then Alec and Magnus's.
So this are the children I thought of…
Jem and Tess – 20 year old daughter Adele Elizabeth on her way to being consul and a 17 year old son named William Jonah (Parabatai with Zach)
Jace and Clary – 17 year old Zachary James. (he was named after Jem for saving Jace) and a 10 year old Charlotte May (staying with Luke and Jocelyn currently so not part of plot)
Alec and Magnus – They used a mundane surrogate with the sight. With Alec as the biological father, Magnus added his touch buy putting a spell on the mother to protect her and their unborn children. So when the twins (yes twins) were born, Camilla Grace had Magnus's cat eyes but with Alec's blue coloring, and Max Gabriel has normal eyes with Magnus's coloring and cat ears. Both are 18 years old and are very close.
Helen and Aline – They adopted a girl after her parents were killed who goes by the name Jane Penhallow age 17 (took Aline's name because she was the only Penhallow left) then living in Shanghai someone dropped off Linette Catwrigt(father ascended and took the name Catwright) who is 16 and Jane's Parabatai
YAY! Now we can start
I do not own the Mortal Instruments! sad face :(
Shanghai, twenty years after the Dark War
"William come on, I would like to get to the institute before nightfall, we can look at the city later." Wills father spoke with his English-American accent.
"Shì de, shì de, shì de, wǒ láile (yes, yes, yes, I'm coming)". Jem just shook his head and looked at his wife, his beautiful, wife. She looks like the same girl he fell in love with nearly 150 years ago. They were in Shanghai to check on the institute for Helen and Aline. After getting married, they adopted a baby whose parents were killed in the Dark War; they named her Jane Penhallow seeing there were so many Blackthorns. The two years later took in two year old Linette Catwright after her parents were killed by a demon in Beijing.
The two girls were inseparable; as soon as they turned 12 they became Parabatai. He remembers dragging Will and Zach to the ceremony as Helen brought the girls to theirs a year earlier. Poor Helen and Aline… loosing both children only two weeks ago. They left Shanghai as soon as they could to mourn with Aline's mother. The Highsmith family took over the institute after they left for Idris. Jem, Tessa, and Will all stood on the steps of the institute waiting to be welcomed in.
"Are you ready love? To be back yet?" Tessa asked with curiosity as well as concern for her husband. "Yes, I believe I am, I would like to see how things changed since I was a child." And with that, they entered the institute.
Will stood there in awe. It was like nothing he had ever seen before, he had been to the London institute when he was ten and stayed at the New York one with his Parabatai Zach and his parents Jace and Clary, but this, this was magnificent. All the different styles of architecture, there was Chinese influence everywhere he looked. Jade statues of angles, silk screens, old traditional weapons that look older than his father.
" The Institute is lovely," he heard his mom say, "so different then anyone that I have ever been in. What about you James? What do you think?" He looked over at is father who looked as if he might faint.
"It, it feels like home." Will couldn't help but feel bad for his dad, for he knew off his haunting pass. The murder of his parents, the torture, the Brotherhood.
Things went smoothly after they arrived, they unpacked, had dinner, then all went to bed. Well, almost all, Will being his naturally curious self went snooping around. After walking for about an hour he grew tired and was heading back to his room to sleep. That when he heard it. That's when he heard the scream that would change his life forever.
Will ran down the hall in a full sprint. He heard it again, the blood curdling scream of a girl screaming as if her life depended on it. By the time he reached the door the screaming had stopped and when he opened it he couldn't believe what he saw. T
he girl that was screaming was chained to the ceiling with adamas, just hanging there unmoving. She passed out Will noticed but the question is why was she hanging from the ceiling and why was she screaming only seconds before?
When he brightened his witchlight he had to fight back the bile in his throat. The girl's back and the rest of her body was in ribbons and it appeared seared.
Correction, it was seared, as soon as he saw the seraph blades at her feet Will realized what had happened she was tortured, and looking at the extent of her injuries its been happening for a while, weeks maybe. Will also noticed runes especially the silver ones on her neck and chest.
Poor girl, he thought, then she shifted and groaned. He quickly picked up the blade, cut her down and carried her out of the room. Will doesn't really remember what happened next except walking into his parents room, then stepping through a portal back to New York, with the bleeding girl still in his arms.
