So, Someone requested that I put some Clace and Sizzy in here and that was originally what this chapter was going to be about...but it turned out kind of angsty. So, I'm sorry, I tried! It's the thought that counts right? Anyway, I hope you like it! please review or PM me and let me know what you think!
Alec walked to the group sitting on the picnic blanket on the grass, holding Magnus in his arms. The kitten had behaved surprisingly well, staying still in his arms and looking at everything curiously, though he was slightly afraid of all the noise and buried his head in Alec's sweater at times. As he got close to the laughing group, (Probably laughing at something Clary had said) Isabelle, who looked up and saw him, hopped up squealing and ran towards Alec and the kitten with Clary not far behind.
"Oh my gosh! It's so cute!" Isabelle gushed as she reached the two of them and started petting Magnus. "Is it a boy or a girl?" Asked a Clary who found the kitten just as cute as Isabelle did. The kitten soaked up the attention and tilted his chin up proudly."It's a boy and his name is Magnus." Answered Alec with a small smile. Jace and Simon got up from the blanket and walked over to the group.
"He looks a little wimpy to me." Said Jace once he had reached them. Alec, Isabelle, and Clary all glared at him. Magnus looked offended. "He is not wimpy. He's just a kitten, not to mention I found him soaking wet and huddled in a box next to a dumpster in an alley, so sorry if he doesn't exactly look his best." Said Alec with a surprising amount of anger and over protectiveness. The kitten buried his head in Alec's sweater.
They all looked surprised at Alec's outburst. Simon, trying to prevent a fight as Jace was sure to give some cocky response said, "Why don't we get our food? I'm starving." They all murmured their agreement as they walked over to the picnic blanket and sat down. Isabelle opened a wooden picnic basket and started handing out PB and J sandwiches, and an assortment of chips, Coke, and granola bars. Alec raised an eyebrow. "Since when do we have an actual picnic basket?" "It's Clary's." Isabelle answered. Now that made sense.
As they all started eating, Isabelle scooted towards Simon and held hands with him and Jace held Clary in his arms. He murmured something in her ear that cause her to collapse in a fit of giggles. Meanwhile, Simon went on a rant about Star Wars to Isabelle who sat there and nodded murmuring her agreement, obviously not listening but staring at him with such utter love and devotion Alec had to look away. As he held the kitten in one hand and picked at his sandwich with the other it became obvious he was the odd one out.
He suddenly didn't feel very hungry anymore. Trying to look and feel busy he looked around the park. (I don't know what Central Park or New York looks like so i'm just going to make something up) The park was a whole huge circle shaped field of grass, that had many trees in it, sidewalks splitting the field into four parts, and a big fountain in the middle spraying water into the air .
A group of laughing teenage girls walked down the sidewalk and a man and a woman who where obviously a couple where laying flat on their backs on the grass and talking about something. Alec looked away and his eyes where promptly met with the sight of two men sitting on the edge of the fountain, gently kissing and murmuring into each others ear.
Alec stood up quickly. "I have to go." He said, picking up Magnus, making the group all look at him with surprised expressions. He hurried away with Magnus in his arms, not bothering to give an explanation. He didn't know where he was going, he just knew he wanted to get away from here. As Alec practically sprinted out of the park, the kitten looked up at him with worried eyes. Alec continued to run down the bustling sidewalk until he was out of breath and collapsed on a nearby bench.
He looked at all the people passing him by without a second glance and his heart ached for someone to actually LOOK at him for once. Magnus licked at Alec's face and Alec sighed. "I wish you where human." Magnus gave him a look that said he did too.
A women neither noticed passing by, stopped, hearing what the boy had said. A wicked gleam appeared in her eye and her lips twitched upward into a devious smirk. She looked at the boy sitting hunched on the bench with a kitten in his arms. She continued to walk by, quietly murmuring an incantation as purple sparks fell from her fingertips that no one noticed.
Look at that! I actually wrote something that had to do with the plot for once! Aren't you proud of me!? ;)
