EYES WIDE OPEN
Chapter 7
Izzy's POV
I'd been out on patrol nonstop for the past 52 hours. Our mission? A goose chase.
First we'd been called out for reported demonic activity. Which turned out to be a false lead.
As we were headed back to the institute, we got word of some rogue downworlders participating in sacrifices using mundane blood. So we were posted outside waiting for anything suspicious. By time we got into the building; every single downworlder and mundane that was alive in there...had been shredded like paper.
Whatever they were doing in there, had open a gateway..and let in one big, angry greater demon.
So then we had to hunt this creature all through the city. Wherever it went it seemed to cause chaos. Demons were drawn to it. And whenever they went...death followed.
So after a grueling 52 hours and 23 minutes. We finally made it back to the institute.
We were covered in demon ichor. And fading iratzes. Even the healing runes couldn't keep me from needing a hot shower and a week of uninterrupted sleep.
But...first I definitely needed a shower. I was going for one before, when Alec was in the infirmary. But then I got called out for patrol...
Wait Alec. I hadn't seen him in almost three days. And hadn't heard anything..
And that's when I heard the gossip.
'Alec lightwood is an omega. Can you believe it. What kind of a lightwood is an omega?'
Maybe he's adopted
Apparently he was swooning over that warlock.
Which warlock?
The glittery one. High warlock of Manhattan or something
Oh. You mean the high warlock of Brooklyn? Magnus bane?
That's the glittery one right?
Uh yeah.
Hold up guys, why was Alec swooning over a guy.
Oh my gosh. You're right!
He's gay. A little disgusting faggot. Has been living with us this entire time.
Eghhhh omigosh I need to go sanitize all my stuff.
Fuck that. I need to go throw out my stuff.
And that's when I cracked it.
"SHUT THE FUCK UP. AND STOP BEING SO FUCKING IMMATURE"
and they all looked at me like I was the fucking long lost Bigfoot, posing for a photo.
How dare they look so fucking confused!
"THATS MY BROTHER YOUR BITCHING ABOUT. KEEP YOUR MOUTH SHUT. IF I HEAR ONE MORE NOISE COME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH ABOUT ALEC. IM GOING TO KICK YOU INTO NEXT MONTH. Got it?" I smiled sweetly.
They all nodded.
"Good. Run along boys"
They scampered. And split up.
Phew if I ever see one of them again it would be too soon.
Now for my brother.
I headed to the infirmary. My seven inch heels, notifying the listeners to my presence.
Just as I got to the infirmary door. I smelt the distinct smell of arousal.
Pretty much all the lightwoods present early. In all honesty Alec is a late bloomer in the family. I presented when I was 15. And so did a lot of other shadowhunters in this institute.
I put a smile on my face, and let my worries and stress slip away. I acted as happy and carefree as any girl whose covered in demonic blood and wounds could.
"Hey big bro, how you feeli—" I gasped
He had definitely not heard me. Like at all...
Alec was straddling Magnus friggin bane.
And that wasn't the most surprising part. They were lip locking in what looked like the most desperate and passionate lip lock in history.
I wanted to bolt and give my brother privacy but it was like my feet were glued to the floor. I heard them crying out each others names.
And I think I could see their lower bodies moving. My face heated up. I so didn't need to see this.
Suddenly Alec was apologizing to magnus. And sounded scared and stressed.
And I was snapped out of my daze.
"Hey Alec!" I said bubbly.
His head whipped around and he practically flew off of magnus.
"Chill big bro. I already new you were gay. Sides I think the glitter will definitely give you a bit of spice" I winked at both of the blushing men in front of me.
"I like her." Magnus said, looking up at Alec.
There was so much love in that gaze.
"I like me too. Nice to meet you magnus. I'm Isabelle"
"Isabelle Sophia Lightwood." I smiled
Thanks so much for reading guys! I hope your liking it so far.

I get inspired when I see fans commenting.
Bye for now!
Love youse.
Also. For anyone who knows me in person. Please don't go telling everyone who is writing this novel.
I use this story to channel my feelings. And a lot of events in this book are based on my life experiences. And I don't want everyone putting the words to my (real) name.
Writing keeps me sane.
I don't need my life problems, causing me grief. Over my coping (writing) methods.
Please.
Phew. Sorry I had to say that.
I love you guys.
Also, shout out to my friend Katt! You are definitely motivating me to write more. Never thought I'd have my best friend fangirling over my work. But hey first time for everything right.
See ya laters.
Byeeeee
