Alec's POV
Bliss and I dance to the music, and it's like the third or fourth song. I know that both Bliss and I are letting loose, even as we both are well aware of the situation. I don't care. Because the beautiful girl in my arms is mine, and I am hers. I love every single little thing about Bliss Nightrose Lightwood. She is fierce, loyal, badass, loving, and extremely hot and gorgeous. Her chocolatey-black hair reaches her waist and is now in soft curls. She has a red rose wreath tied around her forehead. Her electric blue eyes that sparkle ever so slightly when she's surprised. Her delicate frame, she's tall but very fragile as if anything could break her. I let myself fall into the small universe we have.
Suddenly we both turn away, parting and hear Isabelle shriek.
"Simon! No! Simon, come back!"
Bliss' shadowhunter reflexes take over and she moves away from me, still gripping my arm and drags me over to Izzy. I notice my sister's pale face, and her eyebrows are furrowed.
"They took him. Fucking bloodsuckers!"
My arm go around my sister, while Bliss jogs away. Her hair swishes, and I sigh.
"Jace! Jace, you idiot, come here!" Jace finally turns around and she stops abruptly close to his chest.
"The vampires took Simon," Bliss says bluntly furrowing her eyebrows and spins on her heel dragging Jace along with her, over to Izzy and I. When I see her I pull slightly away from Izzy.
"Well, then," Jace says thoughtfully, "we'll go after him. Stupid mundie."
"Alright, Jace. Go get Clary. We'll meet you at the door."
Bliss intertwines her fingers with mine and grabs Iz, pulling her along. In a couple of minutes Jace joins us, a very frantic Clary following him.
"We need weapons," Jace says snickering.
"No shit, Sherlock," Bliss answers him.
I sigh and pull Bliss and Izzy along, making my way towards the closest church.
"I thought we were going to find and rescue Simon," Clary whines annoyed.
"We know where he is. We just need to pick up a few things," Jace answers as we get close to the church.
Bliss puts her hand on the door and says:
"I am Bliss Nightrose Lightwood one of the Nephilim. In the name of the Angel Raziel I ask for entrance in this holy place. And in the name of the Battle that Never Ends I ask for use of its weapons. And in the name of the Clave I ask for Your blessing on my mission against evil."
When she finishes the door opens and we all shuffle inside the sanctuary. Jace and I make our way to the altar where we search for the opening to get the weapons.
"What's this? Some deal you have with the church?" Clary asks.
"Shadowhunters claim to no particular religion, and instead all religions aid us in our mission. We could've as easily gone to a Jewish synagogue or Hindu temple."
"Jace," I whisper-yell, "I found it."
Jace places his stele in the appropriate hole and both of us lift the stone, revealing a trunk full of weapons.
We all start grabbing weapons and weapon belts. Bliss grabs a bunch of daggers sticking them in her weapons belt, then she sticks two Seraph Blades. Out of the corner of my eye I see Jace teach Clary how to use a vampire gun.
When we're all stacked up on weapons we exit the church and make our way to the vampire lair. I am of course a little reluctant but I have 4 people who are all for it so I go along. We also Mark each other so we're ready.
Bliss' POV
I sigh as all five of approach the Hotel Dumort. Isabelle and Clary go first and I follow close behind. The boys are talking in the back.
The Hotel stinks of blood and death and Iz, Jace, Alec and I all take out our witchlights. As I skim one area I glance at the four shadowhunters that came along with me. The Dumort is horrible, but each of us searches patches of it in an attempt to find Simon.
My mind drifts off to the dance floor at Magnus' and how beautiful and handsome Alec looked. Now he is sharp and tense, getting ready for whatever danger lies ahead. Slowly we all creep up upstairs, careful not to fall as the stairs are partly destroyed.
"Simon!" Clary whisper-yells and we all rush soundlessly to where the mundane is tied. The redhead rushes over to him and almost falls if not for Jace who grabs her. Alec takes a long wooden beam and with our help manages to get a sort of bridge for Clary. She manages to keep fairly balanced as she reaches Simon and unties him. His weight however, is too much for her so Jace and Alec both rush and help her. The whole crew is now fine and we all start our journey downstairs and back.
Just as Simon is handed over to me, the vampires surround us so we all rush to a nearby ballroom. I hand Simon over to Clary and urge her a little away. She takes it as a sign and rushes underneath a table. We are all surrounded by vampires and so the killing starts.
"Let the battle begin," I whisper under my breath just as a vampire approaches me from the side. I have enough time to grab a dagger and throw it at the bloodsucker and it hits home. The vamps dawn on us and we all kill, Alec and I keep close but he watches Jace's back because I have Izzy to watch mine. Even though we're not parabatai Izzy and I always have each other's backs when in battle. Suddenly I see a vampire approach Alec so I do a summersault in the air and stab my dagger in his back.
"Thanks," Alec says and I return to killing.
I see a vamp approach Clary but she kills it, using the vamp gun. So, now we stand five shadowhunters, one of which is untrained, but equally deadly, to defend ourselves and a petty mundane.
"There's too many of them," Isabelle says trying not to get killed.
"Have a little faith," Jace answers confidently.
And just when we though we were going to get killed, a pack of werewolves come and save us.
"Run!" I shriek as one of my daggers sails through the air and embeds itself in a vampire's never-beating heart. Alec grabs me, dragging me outside as Jace, Clary and Simon are already there. Isabelle is the last.
"It's almost sunrise!" I yell and start towards the ladder, which Clary is climbing but she is pulled by one of the bloodsuckers. Alec kills it though and Clary falls on top of Jace who was pulling her. I climb myself followed closely by Alec and Izzy. The sunrise comes soon and grants us safety. Alec and I hug as I stare into his comforting deep blue eyes.
"Real?" I ask as he leans down for a kiss.
"Real."
He starts kissing me and I quickly respond, melting into his arms as all 6 of us start towards the Institute.
A few hours later, Simon is in the Infirmary while the rest of us mingle around. As I walk though the hall I hear Alec and Clary.
"Clary can I talk to you?"
"Yeah, sure. I was just going to see Simon."
"Clary, I want you to leave here."
"What? Why?"
"You almost got us killed."
"We had to go save Simon."
"You're endangering our lives. You need to leave."
"But Jace-"
"Jace thinks he needs to save the world.
You don't need to encourage him to do it."
"Yeah, but that's what you guys do. You save people."
"Yeah. What we do. Us. We're a team. You're deadweight. A mundane"
"I'm not a mundane! And if you were half as brave as you pretend to be you'd admit..."
"You'd admit that you're in love with Jace and that's what this is really about!"
The moment Clary says that, tears start spilling from my eyes, as Alec shoves her against the wall and hisses:
"If you ever say anything like that again, I'll kill you."
"Alec!" I shriek running off to him.
He grabs me and starts kissing me, and I kiss back, melting into his strong arms. He picks me up and I wrap my legs around his hips while my hands go around his neck.
"I didn't mean to... I'm sorry... Bliss... Bliss... Bliss..." He mumbles into my hair as he carries me to his room. Inside I start trailing kisses along his jaw and his neck. Slowly I fit my arms underneath the fabric of his t-shirt and I slowly lift it up. Alec is kissing every inch of my jaw, neck and collarbone as I trace my fingers along the many runes that adorn his body. I whip my stele out of a hole in my jeans and put a Lock rune on the door as we as a Soundless one. Alec finds the bottom of my tank top and slowly lifts it up so now we're both shirtless. That's when he pushes me onto his bed, and stays on top of me kissing me fiercely. My fingers trace the Deflect Mark on the side of his neck while his fingers trace the Strength Mark bellow my collar bone. He unbraids my hair as I run my hands through his. I flip us over so now I'm on top of him and he takes my jeans off swiftly and looks at me fondly. I kiss him slowly, then more passionately and trace every single Mark I can reach. I bite his earlobe which I know, makes him crazy and kiss every single rune once. Alec kisses me, and his lips are soft, and I know I will get lost in them. He tastes like cinnamon and peppermint and smells like berry, sea and something irresistibly Alec. My heart is racing and my body feels so light. Alec flips us over again, and starts kissing every inch of my body, starting off with my neck and continuing down my collarbone, and my chest, and my six pack abs. His perfectly toned muscles engulf my entire being.
"Alec, Alec, Alec, Alec, Alec, Alexander... Alec... I... Love... You... Alec," I murmur his name as if it's a mantra that is needed to be told. I slowly take his pants off so now we're both in only underwear, our bodies fitting perfectly. Alec kisses me everywhere and murmurs my name in between breaths. I moan with pleasure as he unclasps my bra and caresses my breast. I take off his boxers, just as he takes my panties off. I look at him, a hunger I've never felt erupts inside me. I take in his entire being, his perfectly toned biceps, his Marked chest and arms, his six pack abs, his thighs.
"I love you, Alexander Lightwood."
"I love you too, Bliss Nightrose."
It's so perfect inside his room, the room is partially dark only lit by witchlights and there's a soft music in the background coming from my iPod. Alec's treasure slowly enters my vagina and rubs against it gently. I let out soft whimpers of pain and his arms wrap around my waist tighter. I dig my fingernails into his perfect back and arch my back with his movements causing him to moan. The pain subsides and I moan with pleasure as we kiss fiercely. We're so close; our limbs are entangled, his arms around my waist, my left clutching his back and my right around his neck tousling his hair. Our lips are connected to each other and our tongues tease each other playfully.
I grab Alec's shoulder and will him for more. I touch him in ways I've never touched any boy before. And then he parts a little startled.
"Alec, baby, what's wrong?"
"Bliss, you burned me. I don't know how, but you did."
That's how our perfect moment ends.
"Alec, I don't know how or what I did. But, I swear, I won't hurt you. Please don't tell anyone. Please, I beg you."
"That's fine. It doesn't hurt. It actually feels good, like warm chocolate."
"I have no idea what the hell happened, but I'm glad it doesn't hurt."
"Do it again."
"How?"
"I think you should just press your hands somewhere on my body, and conjure up positive energy."
So I do. I let myself be engulfed by the man I love, and press my palms to his chest, conjuring every good thing in me. I'm worried, then for a second that I hurt him or worse, but soon Alec moans in pleasure and a huge smile creeps up my face. I rest my hands there, and let Alec hug my entire body falling into a peaceful sleep.
"I love you, Bliss. More than anything. Real?"
"I love you too, Alec, so much. Real."
As I drift off, I can feel Alec trace the runes on my back.
I wake up in the city, behind an alley I know all to well. Alec is right next to me two Seraph Blades in hand. My own Seraph Blades are in my hands-Nakir & Raphael. A pack of rogue vampires jumps out of nowhere.
"Let the fight begin," I whisper to him as we both spring into action.
"Nakir! Raphael!" I yell as Alec calls out on Jahoel and Gabriel. The blades come to life and we begin killing the vampires. It seems as if for every one we kill, two come and take their places. Suddenly Nakir is out of my hand and somewhere faraway. I whip a dagger and throw it at the target. A girl of 15 comes out of the clan and challenges Alec to a duel. She has light blonde hair and blue eyes that shine in the moonlight. Her pale skin suits her quite well and she whips my sword-Rosetta-from my back.
"No! Rosetta! Give me my sword back!" Alec is defending himself quite well and I manage to hold off the other clan members just with Raphael and a few daggers. Suddenly she stabs Alec with Rosetta in his left side and pulls it out instantly throwing it at me. I catch my sword deftly and run over to Alec.
"Alec! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! Stay with me. Help's on its way."
I rest his head on my lap just as Jace and Izzy who were nearby charge through.
Alec was getting paler by the minute, and I could see the pain on Jace's face as well as he drew Iratze after Iratze.
"Alec! Alec! Stay with me! We're all here!" Isabelle is sobbing silently next to Alec's fallen body as Jace screams with rage and pain. I just sit there and stare into Alec's blue eyes till the end.
"Alec! Alec! Alec, you can't leave me! I love you!"
"Bliss, it's okay. Really it is . I love you! Bliss! Bliss!"
Suddenly I realize that the yells are more determine and I wake up. I'm met by the blue eyes I know and love.
"Are you okay?" Alec asks frantically as he holds me tight.
"Real?" I sob out loudly.
"Yeah, baby, real. Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm okay."
"What was that about?"
"Vampires, the clan we were attacked by 3 years ago."
"Oh, Bliss. It's okay. You saw the wound. It's not even there, just a faint silver line."
"Yeah, I know. I just..."
"You're safe; I'm here. It's alright."
"Real?"
"Real."
