Today was the day.
Lydia and Alec's wedding.
Mr and Mrs Lightwood.
Happily ever after.
The thought of the wedding actually going through made her sick to her stomach. After last night, she couldn't stop crying. All her emotions she built up, she flooded her pillow with tears. The actual fact that Alec is getting married, today, to her. It was a nightmare. Everything they shared together, now dust.
As instructed by Maryse, she had to stay locked in her room to not disturb the wedding. Alec was doing this because of her. This was Maryse fault. But of course, Lexi wasn't going to actually listen to her, when did she ever listen?
Slipping out of her bed, her phone flashed to let her know she had something important. Grabbing her electronic device, she checked the messages. It was a full moon tonight. Crap! Something she completely forgot to actually remember. The sound of an echoing knock on her bedroom door snapped her out of her thoughts. Rubbing her eyes to wake herself up, she walked to the wooden door and opened it seeing Izzy.
"What?" She asked raising her eyebrow
"I...just wanted to see how you where" Izzy managed to speak. The thought of hurting her parabatai emotionally killed her inside.
"Oh I'm peachy Izzy! My ex so called boyfriend is getting married to a woman he hardly knows in order to save his parents arses, your parent's arses. And my so called best friend parabatai wasn't going to tell me until I discovered it myself. So I'm doing just great, how are you doing? Knowing you were stabbing me in the back?" she asked sarcastically, getting angry quickly.
"Look, we Lightwood's are not good at saying sorry, but I really am sorry. I didn't think Alec would actually ever go through with it. I thought he would pull out"
Oh I hope she was only talking about him pulling out of the wedding...
"As soon as you found out Alec proposed to Lydia, you should have phoned me"
"Hodge told me not to contact you"
"And when have you Lightwood's actually ever listened to anyone? Have fun at the wedding" She spoke harshly before slamming the door shut. Placing her forehead against the wood door, she took a deep breath.
Breathe through the nose, out through the mouth. Slowly...
When has Lexi actually ever listened to anyone? Especially Maryse?
Turning around, she headed straight to the bathroom for a quick shower, letting the water fall over her body and into the bath. After a few minutes, she stepped out, turning the shower off and grabbed a fluffy towel, she wrapped it around her body and walked over to the mirror, wiping the steam off the reflection. Staring at her wet face and brown hair, sleeked back from the water; closing her eyes, her body heated up, the bathroom steamed up before she opened her eyes, her hair was dry and her face. A smirk appeared on her face as she left the bathroom to get ready for the wedding.
A few hours had gone by and the wedding would start in thirty minutes time. Staring at herself in the mirror a small smile appeared on her face, but tears stung in her eyes threatening her makeup.
Her brown hair was curled slightly. She opted for a smoky eye look, but not too heavy. Her face has a thin layer of powder, foundation made her skin oily, plus being a siren, she didn't need the makeup to cover up impurities, and it was like she skipped puberty. Her natural long lashes have had a few strokes of black mascara making them even longer, her brown eyes stood out, a pat of blush on her cheeks, finishing with a dark maroon lipstick.
Her jewellery consisted of a new necklace her mother gave her. A Siren necklace; metal based, the mermaid wrapped her tail around the blue opal gem, which was surrounded by a thin chain, and a shell pattern underneath. She wore simple diamond earrings along with simple designs for her other many piercings, her bracelet a silver chain link with a love heart, while her ring was her eighteenth ring, silver bow with some diamonds.
But what topped her outfit was her dress; a long length champagne nude sweetheart a-line dress. It was sleeveless and strapless. At the chest piece it was based with glitter, and at the waist, a silver glittery belt attached to the dress, and from waist down to mid thigh, sparkles of glitter sprinkled around the dress. A dress fit for a bride.
Smoothing out the dress, she slipped on her glittery high heels before leaving her room, closing the door behind her and heading straight for the hall. As she passed people, they gave her looks of surprise. Turning the corner and entering the hall, Izzy, Alec, Maryse and Hodge stared at her.
Don't show your emotions. Unless you want to make the hanging chandelier explode...
Alec's face was priceless. His eyes staring, mouth slightly ajar, Izzy smirked, Hodge smiled while Maryse had a face like a slapped arse. Soon the woman with black hair tied back walked, more liked stomped towards her, with Hodge behind. He knew what his daughter was capable of.
"I thought I informed you that you were not invited" Maryse spoke through her teeth, trying not to cause a scene.
"I thought about it actually, turns out, I couldn't miss watching Alec ruin the rest of his life" she smirked "Do you think I am going to stand up and deny this wedding? I want Alec to realise he is making a mistake. I won't stop him. Now if you don't mind, I am going to sit down, these heels are killing me already" she spoke before Maryse whipped around and headed straight to the altar standing next to Alec and Jace who had walked in. Clary and Jace were brother and sister, and ex crushes or lovers.
Awkward.
"Do you think it's wise for you to be here, it's the full moon?" Hodge asked his daughter.
"When have you ever cared about the full moon?"
"Ever since I found out about sirens I have been keeping track, plus werewolves" he informed her.
"Good for you" she said moving out of the way and finding Izzy stopping her in her tracks.
"You would have suited being a Lightwood, not following the rules"
"Izzy, I will never be a Lightwood, unless we both turned into lesbians and marry each other"
"Maybe my mother would be happier if I was a lesbian" she teased
"Izzy, no matter what anyone does, it will never please her. Nothing ever will, excuse me" she said moving past Izzy and finding Alec standing in front of her with his white suit and bow tie.
"Didn't think you would come" He spoke quietly.
"And miss you ruin the rest of your life, I wouldn't miss it for the world" She smirked before moving away, only for Alec to grab her wrist. She looked at his hand before looking at him.
"I'm sorry"
"Remove your hand before I break it, you are a righty aren't you? You got to use that hand to do the wedded rune" Snagging her arm back, she sat down at the end of the row near the front, waiting for the ceremony to begin.
12pm struck on the clock, the ceremony started to take place, one of the silent brothers standing behind Alec, with Jace beside him, Izzy walking down the aisle, behind her Lydia. She looked stunning. But Lexi was watching Alec's facial expressions. There were no emotions.
As Lydia reached Alec, Izzy stood beside her, carrying her flowers as the silent brother started to speak out.
Most of the words were just white noise, she wasn't listening. As the silent brother continued to talk, those words made her ears prick.
"Into this holy union, Lydia and Alec now come to be joined. If any of you can show just cause why may not lawfully be married, speak now; or else for ever hold your peace"
Lexi glanced at Maryse who glanced at Lexi. She wasn't going to say anything. As the ceremony continued, it was nearly time for the wedded runes to be placed on their bodies. But first Lydia placed the bracelet on Alec's right wrist, and he clipped a necklace around her neck.
Her hands formed into fists, the candles in the room grew brighter, and the chandelier flickered. Hodge leaned over and whispered in her ear. "Calm down or go back to your room before you do something stupid"
She couldn't watch this anymore. The fact he was going to go through with it hurt. Standing up, she removed her high heels to avoid the loud clicking on the stone floor and started to walk to the back of the room towards the large doors. Gripping the door handles, she pulled them open and stood in horror.
3 girls. Two blonde and one brunette.
Serena, Ondina and Marina, the three rogue sirens from her pod.
"No" Lexi whispered.
"We couldn't miss the opportunity to ruin the rest of your life" One of the blondes with curly hair; Ondina, spoke up. Suddenly and put her arm out causing a telekinetic blast to shoot Lexi towards the altar stairs, hitting her head on the stone. For a few seconds, she blacked out, before feeling something warm on her face. Opening her eyes slowly, Alec stared in her brown eyes. Recovering herself quickly, she pushed his hands away before managing to stand up and compose herself.
"What the hell is going on? Who are they?" Maryse shouted, aiming her glare at Lexi.
"Oh, don't bother asking her, she won't speak up, but please, let us inform you about everything that has happened and what is going to happen" Ondina smirked, her eyes suddenly turning a silver moon colour. "This so called Shadowhunter has been lying to everyone about who she really is"
"She isn't just a Shadowhunter" The brunette spoke up, Marina, her olive skin shining from the sea salt. "See, when her father" she motioned to Hodge "met her mother, it happened during a time of an event. Remember when three men washed up on the shore, throats ripped out, and no one knew what they were. Some died, and so did your kind. And Hodge became entranced with one woman. And they started seeing each other, after he decided to find her the next day. She revealed what she was, a siren. And three years later, a baby girl was born, who they called Lexi" She smirked turning to Lexi. "She is a natural born siren, but because of her Shadowhunter side, it was hidden until she turned 18, when she became an adult, more mature, things would start showing. And when 3 men showed up on the beach, exactly the same way 21 years ago, they were ordered to retrieve any evidence, and when they did, Lexi was attacked by a girl, Layla, she then burned her to ash, from there, and she has been keeping it a secret. And this was the perfect opportunity to reveal her secret"
"What is she talking about?" Izzy asked standing beside Lexi. Turning her head she sighed.
"Why don't we show you?" Serena asked before looking up at the chandelier, she made a hand gesture, causing the chain that held up the chandelier, unclip and fall to the floor. As the crystals smashed onto the floor, the glass shot 360 around the room, Lexi quickly put a telekinetic shield up, blocking the shots, protecting everyone but the three. Cuts formed on the girls, before their faces turned angry.
"I don't understand! Why aren't the alarms going off?" Maryse asked.
"Because Sirens aren't in the Shadowhunter guides for dummies" Lexi sarcastically spoke before turning to the three of them "You want to fight? Fine, bring it on" She looked at them, her eyes turning silver like the moon...
