Glad you all enjoyed the last chapter :D Here's the next one~
Do not own anything familiar
Symbol of Hope
Chapter 9
"We have more questions than we have started with and no way to find the answers until Sleeping Beauty awakens." Jace was exasperated. Everything was getting really strange (considering what he does for a living, this is really strange) and almost no one had the answers that was needed. The blonde thought that the only one with answers was the old woman who walked out on them all.
"Then what do you propose we do? If you haven't noticed, she can see us!"
"We have glamours on, Simon, of course she would see us."
"Isabelle, don't antagonize the vamp."
"Oh, be nice Jace!"
"Yes, love."
Magnus rolled his eyes at the group before him, but silently wondered on what they were going to do now. He didn't dare tell them that she could see them without their glamours (that would cause a whole lot of shit that he did not need to deal with) and he really didn't want to bring attention to himself... again. Upon reflection, Magnus thought that him crying (in front of Alexander, no less) was just a bit embarrassing. Really, his make-up looked atrocious afterwards.
However, Alexander's eyes burning craters into his head did not help Magnus forget that little embarrassing bit. The warlock's eyes watched Anastasia sleep. His smile softened, and he thought, 'it was worth it, every excruciating moment was definitely worth it.'
Alec, on the other hand, watched his warlock soften up in the presence of this seemingly human girl. A flair of jealousy sprang up, but Alec buried it. Why was he so jealous? Was it because Magnus used to smile at him like that? Was it because she was actually touching what was his? Alec sighed, deciding that it was all of the above. Really, he did not have a reason to be jealous at all; they broke up a while back. That was the end of it.
However, Alec knew that there never really was an end to anything when it involved Magnus.
The door opened again and showed the lightwood mother, Maryse. "Is she alright?" She quickly shut the door behind her, eyes traveling across the group. The poor woman almost fainted in shock to see Anastasia alive and breathing. "Okay, there are a lot of things that are possible, but really, coming back to life should not be one of those things."
"Apparently it is, Mom." Isabelle said, her normal sarcasm gone. "And before you ask, no, we do not know how. We're also pretty sure that she's human."
Maryse sighed. "Looks like the Silent Brothers will have to take a look at her." Magnus tensed up at that. Sometimes, the Shadowhunters themselves were scary, but those Silent Brothers really rankled him to the core. Was it not enough that she was alive?
"What for?" Well, at least Magnus was not the only one who had doubts about the whole thing; Clary was on the same wavelength that he was on.. "We all have sight runes on, and she's not dangerous!"
"I'm sorry, Clary, but I can't break too many rules or else we would all be in trouble." Clary looked like she was about to protest more, but fell silent when Jace silently told her to be quiet. Maryse left the room, dreading when things would get complicated again, as they undoubtedly were going to be.
"Since we don't have answers, how about we hunt down the mother? She's bound to have them."
"For once, vamp, I agree with you."
"Guys, she's not a demon! Besides, where are we going to find her?" Clary's question stopped Jace and Simon in their tracks. "We have to wait until the girl wakes up." They agreed and settled down to wait some more.
Sorry for the incredible shortness :/ But this is more of a filler before the next chapter ^^ Then again, the next chapter could also be considered filler, but it does reveal some important information :/
To my reviewers:
RonaldGarcia91 Yep, and always for a pretty good reason; usually the same one. Trying to place Simon is pretty hard xD But I try my hardest :3
