Cleaning up Jai was an easy task while Alec took Rafael to Magnus and Isabelle, hoping that being around them would calm the boy down a bit and forget what he witnessed first hand. Jace and Alec sat Jai on the bed in Jace's room, the blonde male running a hand through his hair as he stared at the blade that glowed in his hands. "Do you even recognize this blade?" Jace asked Alec who walked over, taking the blade from his parabatai when it suddenly stopped glowing.
"I've never seen it in my life but one thing that's for sure..it only reacts to you and Jai so far. Also you should probably ask how Jai got this.." Alec said, looking over at Jai who smiled at his uncle and sat still on the bed.
"Jai, how did you get this? And where?" Jace asked, crossing his arms over his chest as he watched his son, snap out of his little world and stayed silent as he thought about what to say.
"Seraphina said monster was nearby looking for me. It appeared on the ground. It glows brightly, the monster got scared..fell onto the ground. The blade led me over to it and I stabbed it right in the chest like momma said to always do." Jai explained
"Can Seraphina hear us?" Alec asked this time, wondering if the angel was telling the little boy what to say. Jai nodded in response and looked back down at his hands.
"Well what the hell were you thinking? He's five years old, he doesn't understand the shadow world quite yet and you're ruining the innocence that boy has left. Oh don't get me started when Skylnn hears about this..she's going to be furious." Jace said out loud, looking directly at his son to hear some sort of response.
"Seraphina says, she'll do what she has to do in order to protect me. Innocence's doesn't last long for shadowhunters nor angels." Jai said word from word with a simple nod and shrugged.
"Well let's see what you have to say to Skye when I tell her about this." Jace said before he left the room, slamming the door behind him causing Jai to flinch and Alec to pinch the bridge of his nose.
"Why is papa mad? D-Did I do something wrong?" Jai asked, sniffing as he looked at his uncle for some sort of response. He didn't know what was going on, he was only listening to what Seraphina told him to do when that demon came after them. Alec shook his head, walking over and taking a seat beside his nephew.
"No buddy, your dad is only worried about you. After all you're a kid who's different..like Max. You know that your mother isn't normal..neither is your dad. Things are much more different for you and your parents. Which means they worry a lot more than usual." Alec said before he looked over at the golden little boy who stared at the floor and nodded slowly, letting a soft sigh escape his lips.
Skye bent down across from Jai who still sat on the bed, listening to what his mother was saying and reached out for her hand. She smiled faintly taking his hand and holding it gently. "You'll be fine. I'll handle this...trust me. I will." She said, standing up and picked up Jai from the bed. He buried his face into the crook of her neck.
Jace and Alec were outside the room speaking to one another, Jace had a worried expression on his face while Alec seemed to be more interested in the dagger that he held. "What do you think Skye's gonna do with this dagger?" Alec asked quietly.
"Research maybe, ask the angel? I'll see what I can find but one thing we all know for sure is the fact that it reacts to angel blood..so clearly it's connected to us." Jace said as he took the dagger from Alec. "Just uh don't tell anyone else about this alright? We don't need the Clave knowing that things are much more out of control than we expected." Alec placed his hand on Jace's shoulder, squeezing it slightly and gave him a nod before he headed off for his room.
"What the hell do you think you're doing?!" Skylar yelled, standing in a room with Jace who leaned against the wall holding that dagger..and no she wasn't yelling at him..it was Seraphina she was yelling at. "My son is off limits, he is already hearing all of you speak to him. He's five Seraphina! He is five years old, and has already killed a demon."
"Skylnn, I know what I am doing. How dare you not trust me with your child. Have you become over protective of him? Too fond of him maybe? You need to let loose, and understand I know what I did. I protected him, and I'm not sure why you're really upset. I was with you at that age, yet no one seemed to mind." Seraphina responded in an oddly calm manner.
"Exactly, you were with me. I learned things that an average little girl shouldn't have known..things that I will never forget. I can't have you messing with my son's head, no. He doesn't need guidance, what he needs to grow and learn on his own time. So I suggest you leave him alone before I permanently cut off my contact with you guys, take Jai and Jace..and vanish." The angel didn't respond, but Skye sensed that her presence was gone. Jace let out a soft sigh, walking over to her and placing his hand on her shoulder.
"You made the right call. Jai doesn't need her yet..she'll have to wait until he's really ready for this...also don't worry...she won't stay angry for long. They never stay mad with you.." Jace whispered, placing a kiss on her cheek and smiling faintly at her, she smiled back at him and nodded.
