Several Years Later…..
Alec POV
Alec crouched in the underbrush his silvery clothing shimmering in the moonlight. He shared a glance with Zoe Nightshade, his closest friend in the Hunters of Artemis, and watched as the bushes and trees began to shift and sway in the breeze. The forest was always so peaceful and full of life. Just as Alec let out a soft sigh a twig snapped in the distance. Glancing quickly at Zoe, Alec got up and began to run in the direction it came from, while Zoe ran to find rienforcements. When he got closer to the spot that was when he noticed the three children crouched below the tree's. "Did we lose it?" a girl with blonde hair whispered to the other girl with black hair and a boy with blonde hair.
"I think so Annabeth," the boy whispered. Alec watched the children for a minute before carefully moving out of the trees toward them. The girl with black hair and sort of…..Shadowhunterish clothing spotted him first. "Luke" she said quietly nodding in his direction. Luke looked up and their eyes met. Demigod whispered the separate personality inside him that he had nicknamed Alex. The voice continued A son of Hermes, a daughter of Athena, and the legendary daughter of Zues, Thalia Grace. Alec raised an eyebrow, "So" he said. "You are the daughter of Zues that the entire world is talking about." The black haired girl, Thalia stiffened, "Only monsters know that sort of information." She hissed.
"So," Luke growled "What type of monster are you pretty boy. A hybrid empousai, some sort of demon. Well?" Alec grinned and said "Neither, son of Hermes, but if you most know I am a immortal. Annabeth frowned. "What is a immortal?" Alec's grin widened. "A person who can live forever, if they don't die in a conflict."
Thalia frowned. "That did not answer Luke's question. We want to know what you are." Alec was about to answer the question with the same answer when he heard his sisters approach. "My sisters approach, be polite to them boy for they do not enjoy the company of males." Luke scowled at him just as Zoe and the others arrived. Zoe's eyes widened and she finally spoke, "Demigods, my lady, two girls and a boy." Her nose wrinkled when she looked at Luke.
Then Alec's adopted mother stepped forward, "Greeting's half-bloods, I am Artemis, the goddess of the Hunt. These are my hunters and this is my son Alec."
Jace POV
Jace quietly moved through the Downworld bar as he, Clary, and Isabelle sat down on stools at the front of the bar. Isabelle leaned forward and spoke to the werewolf handing out drinks. "We are looking for a boy with black hair and blue eyes, like this." Isabelle pushed forward a picture of Alec. The werewolf looked down at the picture and grunted. "Yeah I remember him came strutten' in the bar at least two nights ago with a girl. When of the pack tried to flirt with her she had im in headlocke before me could blink an eye. After that they left."
Isabelle leaned forword, "Did you here where to?" The werewolf shook his head, then nodded over to a vampire sitting in the corner by himself. "I reckon Lucille Dauntley got a look at where they were headin' little lady." Then the three of them got up and made their way over to her. She looked up and smiled at them. "I'll make you a deal Nephilim, I'll tell you the information if you don't come back and look for me. Deal" she said her French accent flowing gently.
Jace quickly glanced at Clary and Isabelle. "Deal" he said. The vampire smiled I saw your pretty friend enter those woods." She gestured behind her. "And I wouldn't go after them boy, after all those woods are haunted. Nobody who goes in ever comes out again." And with that the vampire smiled and left.
