Hearing that Valentine was being transferred this was the time to finally say goodbye to the man who ruined everyone's life's. And standing there, listening to Valentine speak to Jace..it was getting intense and unbearable to hear this speak. Jace glanced back at Skye who walked over with a fake smile on her lips. "Well said Father but you don't know a damn thing about us. You may have turned us into something..different but at the end of the day you can't control who we become. Your son is gone, Clarissa and I hate you so much." She leaned forward with a deadly look in her eyes. "If it were up to me, I would have simply killed you..and if you do somehow get away. You're one dead son of a bitch." With that the blonde moved away, turning around and left Jace to do the Clave's work.
"Remember this! I made you what you're turning into today, Skylnn!" Valentine shouted as he watched his eldest daughter walking away, he looked over at Jace who was smirking slightly. But she knew exactly what her father was talking about, and it was going to bother her for the rest of the day. She looked down at her runes, as she stared at them..she swore that they turned gold for a second.
"Seraphina, what has he turned me into exactly?" She asked softly, she gulped as she kept walking. Little did she know that this was the last time she would see her father..and that she'd learn that her father never made it to Idris and was taken to somewhere else.
Skye was in her room, staring at her runes..watching it change from gold to black over and over again unsure of what she would do. "By the angel..." She whispered under her breath, she looked over at her room door where Jace was knocking on the door gently, crossing his arm over his chest. "Hey, uh you know with Valentine missing. I feel like they aren't looking good..and I think I know where he may be."
"Did you tell the Clave?" Skye asked as she pulled her sleeves down covering any visible runes on her arms.
"I did and they denied my request..but I know this beautiful girl who's more angel than anyone..and has one hell of a gift." That made her smile a bit but she knew that this was bite her in the ass.
"Where are we going, Jace?"
"Valentine used to take me to this cabin in Brocelind Forest when I was kid. I don't think that he'd be there but we may find some information on it. What do you and Seraphina think?" Jace asked, he glanced down at the necklace for a second before his gaze landed on his girlfriend.
"We think, why the hell not? We might find something useful.." Skye slid off the bed, standing up and reaching for her stele on her nightstand. "Let's go then." She didn't wait for him to reply, he fell silent as he watched her draw a rune in the arm with a mesmerized look in his eyes before she opened the portal. She held out her hand which Jace took. "Hope that cabin is burned into your mind..."
"We'll be fine."
Not fine, landing in the Lake was not a fine way at all. The two managed to swim right out of the lake, and Skye coughed up the water that she consumed. She groaned before she reached into her pockets and tossed the phone that was drenched in water. "You feeling alright?" Jace asked, Skye shot him a slight glare.
"Totally, I love falling into a lake, and ruining my phone." Skye said, Jace chuckled softly before he stood up and helped her up as well.
"In my defense, I didn't expect to land here..I was hoping for some nice land..maybe? Not a nice dip in a lake, Skye." Jace said, the two walked off into the woods. As they did some walking, Jace looked over at him and noticed something odd. "Your bleeding.." Skye glanced down, she touched the blood, staring at it..it was slightly gold..well one little little piece of it was gold, 'gold ichor'. "Use your stele."
"Y-Yeah, I'll do tha-" As she looked for her stele, Skye frowned and mumbled a few things under her breath. "We gotta go back, I don't have my stele..do you?" Jace shook his head, the two stopped walking. "We don't even need a stele. You can activate your runes without them, right?"
"Yeah, I mean you know, theoretically.
"And you were giving me crap about my portal?"
"I didn't say I couldn't do it." Jace spoke softly, Skye looked away feeling weird..and decided that stele she needed.
"Yeah, on second thought, my stele might actually come in handy."
Isabelle picked up a shard from the floor with Alec who was in Skye's room as well with their father, Robert present. "I felt it..that something was wrong. But this was not what I was expecting.." Izzy said, she stared at it seeing an image in this shard."Is that a beach?" Robert reached over taking the shard out of his daughter's hand staring at it as well before he spoke.
"This isn't a beach, it's Lake Lyn." Robert replied, Isabelle seemed to have a confused facial expression when her father spoke.
"The Lake Lyn? How can you tell?"
"Because Jace requested a portal to Idris this morning. He thought he might have a lead on Valentine, but the Clave denied it. Seems like he went anyway." said Robert, this wasn't good but what else could they have expected from Jace.
"We need to help him."said Isabelle, no matter what they had his back even if he made a dangerous decision.
"You have to get that portal approved." said Alec
"I'll try my best, - but the Clave"
"I don't care what the Clave says, Jace is in trouble."
"I agree, but as long as you're acting head of this Institute, - you need to remain here." It was important for Alec to remain here and keep control of the Institute no matter what was going on here.
"Jace is family. You can't expect Alec to abandon his parabatai."
"No, dad's right. I need to put the Institute first. Listen I'm not abandoning anyone, I'm sending my best Shadowhunter to go and rescue them." Alec looked over at his own sister with a faint smile on his lips, Isabelle smiled back before she nodded, she looked at her father.
"Get me a portal to Idris."
"I will but there's something you should know about this Lake."
"Seraphina? Seraphina!" These hallucinations were kicked up a knock, this time she was seeing angels flying around and there whispers growing intense by the second. "I'm going crazy..." She whispered to herself over and over again as she walked through the woods, out of reflex she sensed someone coming and pulled out her sword, in her stance as she watched an angel.
"Skylnn, you'll be fine. Jonathan is alright.."
"My Jonathan? Or my Jace? W-Which is it?" Skye asked, she lowered her sword down taking a few steps back, she ran a hand through her hair. "I-I saw his jacket, his clothing...blood..and I heard a scream. Where is he?"
"Not everything is what it seems, my dear. Take a deep breath, do your best to concentrate on what you're here for. Repeat to me, what are the things you need from here. Skylnn...say it."
"T-The cabin...for information."
"And? Who did I say was alright?"
"J-Jonathan, so I have to find him." Seraphina walked over to the blonde slowly, she placed her hand over Skye's forehead and smiled faintly at her.
"My daughter, a lot of things are to come. For you, you will start to transition..into something magnificent. Things have changed already, the runes you bare have changed, soon..you will bleed the way I do. But for now, you keep your mind off of this and you will make it far.." Before you know it, Seraphina grew wings and she flew away. Skye stumbled away, walking around and continued to whisper things over and over again..telling herself what she needed to concentrate on.
"Skye?" Isabelle said quietly as she slowly approached her parabatai with Jace by her side. "Hey, it's us..we're here to help you." She took another step with her stele in her hand before this turned ugly really quick. There was an actual fight, Skye had kicked and tried to hit Isabelle while the dark haired Lightwood blocked it and couldn't get her to stay still so Izzy tossed her stele over to Jace as she grabbed a hold of Skye and as soon as Jace moved closer. The blonde kicked him right in the chest, causing him to stumble back and dropping the stele. She also moved away from Isabelle.
"Skye, you need to talk calm." Jace said and with a split, he moved quickly wrapping his arms around Skye tightly and inhaled deeply. "Everything's okay...breath. I'm here.." He whispered into her ear, as his eyes turned gold and he activated the iratze rune. The whispers vanished immediately, Skye let out a shaky sigh and stayed in his arms for a few seconds before she got out of his arms and turned around to face him, she placed her hand on his cheek.
"You're alive."
"Of course I am.." Jace whispered as he placed his hand over hers, closed the space between them before he placed a kiss on her forehead, and looked over at Isabelle who smiled.
