A Second Chance

by Icantakeyouaway

Sebastian Verlac (aka Jonathan Morgenstern) is the most hated teenager in the Shadowhunter world. Hated by many, loved by none and that includes his mother. Fury in his eyes, he wants to set the whole world on fire. Alec a shadowhunter, who just so happens to be Jace's parabi. Believes that people change, determined to stop Sebastian, and trying not to fall in love along the way.

Prologue:

Alec watched as the crowd erupted into chaos, people turning against one another. A gasp escaping his throat, as Clary plunged the sword straight through Jace. Heavenly fire erupted from the sword, blinding everyone near. After that it seemed as if time stood still, he watched as shock briefly registered across Sebastian's face. Then as if by the power of his will, Sebastian vanished into thin air.

Once he disappeared, his army began to flee hurriedly dropping their weapons as they went. A small circle of people began to form, tears dripping down their cheeks. Sorrow filling them as Clary begged for Jace to live. His blood covering the ground in scarlet, the hilt of the blade sticking out of his chest, strangely reminding him of King Arthur, he watched as his eyes slowly drifted shut.

Pain consumed him, as he watched him slowly fade away. Jace his other half, he was everything to him, pain filled his body as he held back a sob. Oh I hope he isn't dead, what will I do without him, my parabi? These thoughts filled the hidden tresses of his mind. Zigzagging through the crowd, heading towards the spot where Sebastian vanished. He thought to himself, I'm going to bring Sebastian back; I have to stop this brewing war, even if it kills me.
