Skylar had no idea what was going on with her parabatai, so when she received a call from Clary who explained everything to her. She was not pleased, she had sent Alec a message to handle it before the Morgenstern got involved and handled it herself. Her parabatai was off limits, she didn't like it that Isabelle was going through this all without her. She had taken the time to change while Michael Wayland helped his son..Jace.

Skylar headed to go see Jace but was stopped by his father. "Hey, um can I talk to you?" Michael said, Skylar nodded slowly as she watched him take a seat and she walked over but didn't take a seat at all.

"Of course..." Skylar said, she was kind of nervous to speak to him. She and Jace..never spoke about what they could possibly be..and well she had no idea what he thought about this all.

"I'm I feel as if I know you, you're so much like your mother. You're fearless, and loving, and you got a mind of your own. A little stubborn, perhaps?" Michael said, Skylar nodded slowly and chuckled softly.

"I should probably work on that." Skylar said

"Maybe not, it served Jocelyn well. She saved you from your father...I never said a word about where you had gone. I know he has down a lot to you...I let him torture me. He never got a word out of me." Michael said with a faint smile before he cleared his throat. "You should go see Jace..." Skylar didn't even wait, she simply nodded and stared at him. Something was off about this man...she sensed it...Seraphina sensed it all as well. She turned around and rushed into the back, placing her bag on the floor and taking a seat.

"I spoke to your father...he seems..nice." Skylar managed to say, clearing her throat and looked at his arm. "Also you look so much better before, you have actual color in your skin." She added with a bright smile on her lips that made him smirked for a second.

"Thank you, everything went well. And I am glad that you find him nice-"

"I know about the story you told Clary to help with the whole Simon thing. Jace, he doesn't seem like someone who would hurt you but then again...I wouldn't know."

"We are raised much differently then mundanes." Jace said, Skylar nodded slowly as she looked down at her hands and sighed. "You alright? I saw you cry-I mean shed a tear..."

"Jace, I lived that alternative universe...and I found something I wasn't expecting to find." Skylar began to speak, Jace slowly sat up and watched her, he had moved closer and cleared his throat.

"And what was that?" Jace asked softly in a whisper, moving closer and closer until he was close enough. He moved his hand, placing it on her cheek before his thumb brushed against her lower lip gently.

"It was everything I ever wanted...Jace, my family...my friends...and love.." Skylar whispered, he smiled faintly before he pressed his lips against hers, kissing her and well she didn't waste time and kissed him back. This was all real, and it was amazing for her to have something that was real and not fake. Something she could depend on...

While Clary, Luke, Jace and Michael spoke about everything that Michael knew or not. Skylar paced back and forth away from them as she spoke to Isabelle on the phone. "What? Are you serious? By the angel...I-I am coming over and helping you."

"Skye, it's fine! Look, you need to find Valentine. That's our main concern." Isabelle said, how did she have a phone? She slipped it in with her in case she got bored being stuck in this god forsaken room all day and everyday until the Clave or Lydia did something to her.

"It's not fine, you can be stripped of your runes and exiled." Skylar whispered, getting more and more angry by the second! How could she have let this happen? All because she was busy spending her time with Jace, and everything that..she didn't know this was happening to her..bestfriend. She could hear Alec...in the background speaking as well. "I'm coming...don't do anything insane." She added before she hung up, walking over to the table where the others at and chatted. "I have to deal with something at the Institute."

"Then Clary and I will scout Renwick's." Jace said, but the blonde shook her head quickly and sighed.

"No, you need to heal. You need to take it easy." Skye said, Michael nodded in agreement and glanced at Luke.

"I'll go with Clary. Skye, you deal with you have to...Jace and Michael stay here. My pack will watch over you guys." And with that, they all separated...going their own ways.

Skylar had ended up going with Alec to see Magnus, the two spoke about what was going on and how they needed to help Isabelle. "Tired of bickering over the guest list for your wedding?" Magnus asked, by the tone of his voice..it was clear that he was upset about this all and Skye knew that for sure.

"I need to ask you something." Alec began, as Skye and him followed Magnus to where he served himself a drink.

"And we wouldn't be here unless it was urgent...and very important to us." Skye said, Magnus only looked directly at her before looking back at Alec...she knew that this was a bit hard for him to stand here...and see a man that he liked.

"This is about my sister."

"Oh, I see. Are you referring to the fact that your adorable fiancee has Isabelle on trial for treason? What can I do for you two? My sister wants you to be her defense attorney. I said I would ask. I know a Downworlder can't defend a Shadowhunter in court." Alec said as he turned around but Skye quickly grabbed his arm and turned him straight around."But a Shadowhunter accused of a crime can choose any advocate." Skye said, see...she made sure she knew enough about the laws. She is Valentine's daughter after all and there was a possibility that she would be accused of something that she would never ever do. But you never know..the Clave is sneaky...and if they wanted to blame someone they would choose an easy target.

"That can't mean a Downworlder." Alec said, Magnus smirked slightly as he slowly stood up and took a sip of his delicious drink.

"The Clave was so rigid and prejudiced back in what they call the Time of Angels that they didn't dream of a Shadowhunter asking a Downworlder for help, they didn't even bother to exclude us." Magnus said as he approached..Alec closely...he had backed up slightly glancing at Skye who watched with a grin on her lips. Oh come on, no one could lie and say they didn't see the sparks between the two. "So, since, as you all say." He paused before using an old man voice. "the Law is the Law" there's no stopping me from slipping through this gaping loophole, for the right price of course."

"Would prefer if it was free...for me!" Skye said with a bright smile, Magnus walked over to her and smiled sweetly as he placed a hand on her cheek in a fatherly manner.

"Pumpkin, I need to charge him. He asked for a favor...and that is that..." Magnus said softly, moving his hand then returning his gaze to Alec. "All I ask for is your bow and quiver." Alec tensed up slightly...letting out a long sigh.

"Done."

The plan...was meant to go smoothly right? So far...it seemed quite well...as Skylar had managed to get into the building while Jace, Luke and Michael fault off Valentine's men fearlessly. It was easy, quick and smooth. Luke was stopped by someone else...he sent the two others away and into this building. In heart..Luke will always be a shadowhunter...everyone needed to be reminded of that.

Skylar was a bit resist walking into the building, she stepped forward pushing the doors wide open and her heart sunk when seeing her mother there. She held onto her blade tightly, walking towards her unconscious mother. She glanced back seeing Jace and Michael run over, closing the door behind them and using a rune to seal it well. "Jace, where's Luke?" She asked, she had..slowly started to care more about Luke as she got to know him better than before.

"He told us to leave him, Skye...we need to do this. We need to be able to fight these demons.." Jace said, Skye nodded slowly and gulped. She finally found her mother, Clary could finally be much better and thankfully the redhead wasn't here to witness this. "Use the cup." She pulled out the cup and cleared her throat.

She held it up, watching it glisten brightly. "Demons find Valentine!" She ordered, over and over again but got nothing. Michael stepped forward, taking the cup but before he tried it...he revealed himself...as who you all ask? As Valentine. "Should we let the demons take care of this?" The blonde asked as she looked at Jace who shook his head.

"No, send them away." Jace said, holding up his blade as he watched Valentine carefully. "He's mine." Skye had sent away the demons, placing the cup back into the bag. The next few minutes...the next words that left Valentine's mouth...well everything had turned black for Skye in general. 'I'm your father, I'm also your father Skylnn.' Those were the words in repeat over and over again. When Valentine left, and Luke came in...and she assumed that he was speaking to Jocelyn...something about taking her home.

'Skylnn? Breath...' The angel's voice spoke softly in Skye's head as her necklace glowed lightly but not too much. Not wanting to reveal herself here...the blonde put her blade away and walked away as quickly as possible.

Returning to the Institute, Skye had left Jace and Clary to speak. This one walked about, all around until she saw Alec leave the room Isabelle was in. She slowly walked into the room with a tear rolling down her cheek. "That reality ruined me...I was in love...with Jace. No I am in love with him. I did the one thing...I knew would hurt me...I fell in love with the wrong person. Because now he's my brother..." She managed to say before she started to cry, Isabelle tensed up slightly and sighed. She quickly walked over and closed the door behind Skye...before she pulled the blonde into a tight hug.

"And I thought I had a bad day..." Isabelle said quietly, a tear rolling down her cheek as well. It wasn't because she was sad..it was relief that she was safe. But now she needed to help her parabatai with this heartbreak more than anything...
