This story follows my own oc, Caspian Lightwood. I hope you enjoy, review, whatever.
The girl was asleep, unaware that currently, on the ground outside of the Institute, her parents were being killed. When she woke up, though, she would know.
When Cas woke up, there was a crying man in her room. She knew him, too. He was her uncle. "Uncle." Cas said, "By the Angel, why are you crying?" Alexander Lightwood looked up at her, eyes swollen and red. "Oh, Caspian. I'm so sorry." She glared at him. Only six, she didn't realize her crying uncle meant something was wrong. "Go talk to Mom about it." She said coldly. "I have to get dressed." Alec sobbed again.
Her other uncle walked in, frowning. "Caspian." He said sharply, "That's no way to talk to your uncle. Especially not right now." She twisted up her face.
"I don't understand! Uncle Alec won't tell me what's wrong, and he won't leave and let me get dressed, either!"
"Your uncle Alec just found out something very hard that he's leaving to me to tell you." Magnus returned. Alec looked up at his husband with watery eyes.
"Sorry, Magnus." He said, and Magnus smiled grimly.
"No problem, love. I got it. Go see Jace." Cas brightened.
"Uncle Jace? Is he here? Can I see him?" Magnus winced a little bit.
"No right now, kiddo." Magnus said, and Cas pouted.
Once Alec had left, Magnus turned away, letting Cas dress in simple black training clothes. Once she was done, he sat on her bed, passing his hand over his cat-like eyes. "Kiddo, something happened yesterday. Something bad. You parents, well. Caspian, they were killed." Magnus's eyes teared up. Cas stared at him for a minute. "What do you mean, they were killed?" She asked carefully, and Magnus put his head in his hands, clearly holding back a tidal wave of emotion.
"There was a demon attack on the Institute last night, kiddo. An unexpected one. You parents received a distress call, and when they left to answer it, the demons surrounded them. They… they couldn't hold them off." Cas's eyes filled up with tears.
"What kind of demon?" Cas asked tearfully, and Magnus looked thoughtful for a moment.
"A couple of Raum demons, I think." Magnus answered, and Cas glared at him.
"My mom and dad could hold off a couple of old Raum demons any day! You're lying!" Magnus looked eternally tired and annoyed. "Kiddo, it was a surprise attack. They just weren't expecting it." Cas broke down crying.
A few rooms away, Alec and Jace were sitting next to each other on their sister's bed, the one she would never sleep in again. Isabelle Lightwood and her husband, Simon Lightwood, formerly Simon Lovelace, also formerly Simon Lewis, (dang he had a lot of names that started with "L") had been killed outside of the Institute the night before.
