Hohoho. Hey guys- it's me again! With another story. I hope you'll like this one. I think it's going to be good.
Disclaimer: I don't own TMI- god. I own this story, though!
Alec sat there, his heart beating hard- not fast, just bang… bang… bang… Today was his day. Today was the day the Council will match him with some Shadowhunter. A girl Shadowhunter- which sucks because he was gay and nobody knew that.
It was a Shadowhunter Law; on the day a Shadowhunter turns 18, the Council would match you with someone else. You don't get to protest. No matter what happens, you marry the one you were matched with. Breaking the law would kill you.
Alec drummed his fingers on his legs. This is bad, he thought. He was nervous- anybody could see that. His pale face was paler and he was twitchy.
"Alexander Lightwood," a Shadowhunter called.
Alec stood up, his knees shaking. Who knew he could be so scared of this? He walked inside a closed room, and saw the Council sitting across him, their faces impassive.
"Sit down, please." The Inquisitor, Imogen Herondale- Jace's grandmother, told him, smiling slightly.
He sat down on the chair provided and a Shadowhunter gently took his arm. He knew the process, a rune would be drawn upon your chest, near your heart and it would project all the qualities you look for in a partner. Sometimes, the ceremony is great. Just look at his mom and dad, Maryse and Robert. They were happily married. Clary's parents too, Jocelyn and Luke. And Jace's, Stephen and Celine. Alec could only hope for the best.
After a few agonizing minutes, the screen on the far left side of the room began to light up. Alec didn't know the Council's technology savvy too.
"Alexander Lightwood," One of the Council spoke. Alec immediately noted Imogen's face- a face masked with horror.
Oh by the Angel, he thought. He knew it was not good.
"We are happy to tell you that you're partner is going to be…" The guy continued as a picture began to form on the screen. Red hair, green eyes.
"Clarissa Fray- Garroway."
Alec felt the blood rushing out of his face. Clary? His mind only formed one thought as he slumped on his chair, Jace is definitely going to kill me.
Oh yes, Alec- Jace is going to kill you :) What do you think? Good or bad? Should I continue this?
*Sorry for the lack of names- I honestly don't know anyone aside from Imogen!
