A/N hi guys! Here's chapter two of Mirror images in the point of view of Alexander Lightwood and James Carstairs. Please let me know what you think of the story by reviewing if you can!
disclaimer: I don't own anything...
Alec
I woke up to find our cat, Church, sitting on my face.
"Jesus!" I shouted sitting up, earning several claw marks and an angry hiss from Church.
I quickly shooed him out of my room and got dressed.
"BOO!" someone shrieked in my ear.
"Jesus!" I yelled for the second time in roughly ten minutes.
I turned around to see Izzy standing behind me.
"Calm down!" she said giggling.
"What do you want Iz?" I asked, pulling my jumper on.
"Breakfasts ready." she replied.
"Oh good I'm starving! ...Wait who made it? I said walking out with her.
"I did!" she replied.
"I'll risk it just this once!" I replied moving sideways to avoid her hitting my arm.
"Very funny! Can you get Jace up? I've tried three times already!"
" Sure" I said, walking to Jace's room.
I grabbed a vase from a nearby dresser and walked into his room.
I dumped the water over his head and jumped back quickly.
Some of the perks of having a parabatai are knowing:
(1) how to annoy each other greatly
and
(2) knowing that your parabatai sleeps with a seraph blade under his pillow.
"What the hell?!" Jace yelled, sitting up and lashing out with the blade, half asleep.
"Morning!" I said trying not to laugh.
Jace jumped up and I quickly stopped laughing.
He was only wearing boxers and they were...sitting dangerously low.
"Um...Izzy said breakfasts ready!" I said looking away quickly.
"Okay I'll be right down!" he replied taking clothes out.
"I'll be downstairs!" I said quickly before he could get stripped in front of me.
"You look like you've seen a ghost!" Izzy said when I walked into the kitchen.
"Jace was practically naked when I woke him!" I said sitting down.
"Oh...sorry!" she replied sheepishly.
"Hey Izzy!" Jace said yawning.
"Nice wakeup?" she asked handing him a fry up.
"It was amazing! I got very...wet in the situation!" he said winking at me.
"Are we going to Pandemonium tonight? I asked blushing.
"Yeah!" they both replied.
Jem
"Do you have enough yin fen Jem?" Tessa asked, playing with her clockwork angel necklace.
"Yeah! If worse comes to worse I'm sure I'll find a shop that sells it in New York!" I said.
"Here!" Will said, throwing a bag of the silvery powder to me. "Just in case."
"Thanks" I replied, putting it in my bag.
"Tessa? Do you know any nice sight-seeing spots in New York?" I asked.
"Well you brought me to Blackfriars Bridge so how about we visit Brooklyn Bridge?" she replied shyly.
"Sure!" I said.
"We're ready to go now!" Gideon said lifting his and Sophie's bags up and walking over to the Portal.
"Okay!" I said and walked over.
Before I went through I felt my legs give way and suddenly my head smacked of the ground.
*flashback*
"Jian?" my mom said walking into my room.
"Over here mom!" I replied, packing my violin away.
"I think it's time for a hair cut!" she said pushing my long black hair out of my eyes.
"I like it like this!" I replied pushing it back.
Suddenly there was a loud crash downstairs.
"Stay under your bed James and DON'T come out no matter what!" my mom said pushing me under gently and running.
I kept as quiet as possible. It was strangely quiet. Suddenly I was pulled out and a hand was put over my mouth so I couldn't scream. I recognised the thing holding me immediately. It was a greater demon by the name of Yanluo.
He pulled me downstairs and tied me to a chair facing my parents. And that's when the pain began...
*real time*
"Jem wake up!" Will said lifting me onto a chair with the help of Gideon.
"What happened?" I asked.
I felt something wet under my eyes and realised I was crying.
"You took a turn!" Tessa said anxiously, handing me a glass of water with a dash of yin fen. I drank it quickly.
"Let's go!" I said ignoring the anxious looks from everyone. I picked up my bag and violin case and went through the portal to New York, quickly followed by Will and Tessa.
