No excuses for not updating except for this. I was doing a assignment for social studies which required a partner. My partner was there for one day and answered TWO questions only! This was last Wednesday by the way! So I had to answer the rest of her questions, then put the questions and their answers along with pictures and a bibliography in a presentation. BY MY SELF! It turned out to be one of the best but while I was doing it, I could hardly look at a computer screen much less update. So again, sorry but that is my excuse. Thank you to all of my readers but, my updates are really slow because I don't get a lot of reviews. :( So please REVIEW AND FOLLOW! FAVORITE this story wouldn't hurt. Sorry if this is pushy.
Oh, thank you to The Golden Angel who dedicated a chapter to me because I recently turned 13! Seriously, my birthday was last Saturday. If you like this story check hers out. It is hilarious and has the same idea as mine. You're all probably tired of my rambling and want to read the chapter sooo... Here we go!
Disclaimer - I do not own The Mortal Instruments because I am not Cassandra Clare. *Weeps and thinks, Damn! The world isn't a wish granting factory.* Props to anyone who got that reference. We love you Augustus Waters!
Someone's POV. Anyone's POV. It really doesn't matter.
Recap-
Shit is going down. People are frustrated and suspicious. Alec is making out with Clary while Jace (all of them) think of the slowest and most painful way to kill him. WTF! JKJK
End of Recap-
Heads up, most of this will probably be in bold because I'm not typing this on a laptop, I'm typing this on my phone which is jacked up.
Refer to top POV
When Alec slammed his lips into Clarys, there were different stages of shock around the room. The Isabelle's rose their eyebrows, the Simons gaped in a total state of shock, Magnus's were bright red with fury along with all the Jaces. The Alecs looked somewhat green and sea sick, as well as the Clarys, but their faces also held a look of disbelief. And Marsye covered Max(1) eyes while Robert covered Max(2) eyes. The Maxes had no clue what was happening while their mother and father were still trying to process the whole situation. All in all, it wasn't pretty.
Alec finally released Clary from the kiss which was complete torture for them both. Yes, they were close friends. But they weren't that close, if you know what I mean. As those two tried to catch their breath and sanity, Clary looked at the black haired boy, or man, with complete and utter confusion. He returned her look with one of his famous, "trust me on this and just follow my lead," looks. She was hesitant at first, he could tell. Hell, a blind man could tell. Even so, she nodded and put on a triple whatt smile as did he and they turned back towards the shocked, gaping, furious, questioning, confused looks.
Can you say awkward.
They'd both would rather face the devil himself then answer the onslaught of questions they knew were yet to come. Now all they needed was some intense music in the background and bada Bing bada boom! They'd have a reality T.V show. The kardashins got nothing on this shit, that's for damn sure! At first, everything was quiet. No one said a word. No one moved. Simon started to wonder if anyone was breathing. Angel knows he wasn't. But then again, he had been a vampire, or as the blonde jackass prefers, bloodsucker, for many months. Breathing was something he had done to look and feel normal. Not because he had to, because he needed to. Plus, how could you think of something so unimportant like breathing at a time like this!
Back to the looks of shock.
Maryse and Robert took their hands away from the two Maxes eyes. They looked calm and sent the original people a look that told them they knew what was happening. Alec and Clary clumsily grasped each others hands. It felt wrong to both of them but they didn't let it show on their faces. The fake couple smiled sweetly at the others and waited for a real reaction. This went on for about five minutes as everyone tried to solve this mystery that was the future and the past in one room. At this moment, the reality of the situation caught up to all of them. They all suddenly felt sick and turned a pale color with a tint of green.
Finally one of the Jace (3) spoke up. "Clary, your married to Alec? Of all people you choose my Pārbati ! How could you get married to him! Last time I checked, he was gay and fawning over Magnus and me!" The Alecs turned a crimson red while Jaces question unleashed hell in the room. Question after question came from every which way. The volume of the room amplified as the questions without answers blended together. They were impossible to decipher so the originals waited for the worst of the storm to pass.
As people tried to regain their calmness and sanity back, Isabelle came to her Pārbati's rescue. She saw that Clary and her brother were trying to come up with a lie, which they were both terrible at. So she blurted out the first thing that came to mind. "I'm pregnant!" Suddenly all eyes snapped to her direction. Now all their faces were void of emotion. This must be hard to take in all at once. Now it was the Alecs turns to be furious. Their faces turned a bright red. Not from embarrassment, but from pure fury. "Isabelle Sophie Lightwood. If, you are in fact actually pregnant, you better be married to a shadowhunter of good family. If you aren't, the consequence will be dire." Alec (2) hissed in a most menacing and terrifying way. Isabelle nodded quickly and replied, "Yes. Of course I'm married! In fact his name is...um..." She trailed off. She needed to think of a name and fast.
Surprisingly, Simon came to her rescue. "His name is Eric Ravenclaw. A shadowhunter we met in Idris after a certain victory. He's away right now tending to his sickly mother. She was attacked by a rogue warlock on a demon hunt that went south. She has only a few more weeks to live and Eric wishes to spend every last moment he can while she lives. He left only a week ago and will not be back for some time. He and Isabelle are deeply in love and only found out she was pregnant two days ago. She recently called him to tell him their great news and, from what we have heard, is overjoyed but still cannot leave his mothers bedside. You all showed up before we could get any specific facts."
By the angel I love him so much! Isabelle thought. And when did he get so good at lying?
The people from both past seemed content with this new information and soon were back on the Clary and Alec situation. The people from the present sent him looks of gratitude. He had lied smoothly and saved them from losing this little "game" against Raziel. He had also bought Alec and Clary time so they could come up with an airtight alibi. So before anyone could ask them another question, they started to explain the fake situation.
"Alec and I hated each other at first. Anyone with eyes could see that. But as time went on, I started to see the softer, sweeter side to him. We became good friends as I started to develop a crush on him." Clary began. Then the blue-eyed boy spoke. "Little did she know that I was also beginning to develop a crush on her. This may not seem believable at all, but I do indeed love her. Anyway, we were training one day when I just couldn't resist it anymore. I kissed her and pulled away expecting a full temper tantrum but all I got was a beautiful smile and another kiss." Then it switched back over to the red head on Alecs right. "We started dating soon after that, but we didn't want anyone to know just yet. We kept it a secret for about a month or so when we decided to tell everyone about us. Isabelle had been shocked as well as Simon. Magnus had already been seeing someone else so he supported us fully." Clary continued until Alec decided to take the lead. "Jace almost killed me when he found out. Much like you," he gestured to Jace(3). "I completely understood because after all, Clary is Jaces little sister and it was wrong to keep it away from him. But he soon gave us permission to date, and here we are. Happily married and deeply devoted to each other. Any questions?" He finished.
Isabelle (1) asked, "If you two are so deeply in love, why weren't you all lovey dovey at first? You were both just joking around like good friends. Not like a couple." Clary answered this one as the lie slipped out of her mouth. "Alec and I aren't big fans on PDA. We were just as shocked as the rest of you and were trying to figure out what to do. We weren't focused on our love at the time." Isabelle(1,2,3) nodded in understanding. "Oh, okay then. Does anyone have anymore questions?" "I do!" Clary(1) asked. "Since when are Jace and I related?"
The rest of the ones looked towards the rest in anticipation and heartbreak. Jace found no reason to beat around the bush so he answered this question as bluntly as humanly possible. "Ever since the crazy bastard we call a father told us we were brother and sister." Though he was inwardly smiling to himself. The things he did to Clary last night were definitely not brotherly. If anything, it was major incest. As the rest pondered what he said, Jace looked at Alecs fake wife, and his real wife. By the angel was she sexy. He also knew that the rest of the Jaces had noticed as well. If Raziel ever let them reveal the truth, they all better be prepared for him to grab Clary and make out with her. Seriously, he didn't know if he could survive a night without her in his arms. It was a habit and habits were hard to break.
Fuck, I'm screwed. He thought.
Out of the corner of his eye he saw one of the Maxes yawn and curl up against Marsye while his eyes slid closed. Jace glanced up at an old grandfather clock in the corner of the massive library. It was made out of a special wood that only grew in Alicante. The time read 12:47 PM. Wow, he thought. We've been talking all day. He then noticed how tired he actually was and voiced his thoughts.
"Hey guys. Don't want to bother you but I think it's time to go to sleep. He got up and almost pulled Clary up with him. Then he remembered that she was supposed to be Alecs wife. Not his. The thought sent a whirlpool of emotions through him even though he knew she was actually married to himself. Still, it's the thought that counts. After assigning rooms to everyone, he took on last glance at the beautifully decorated library. The huge Christmas tree in the center and the ribbons wrapped around the banister of the staircase. The dying fire slowly fading to embers, and the sweet smell of peppermint filled the air. He smiled to himself as he closed the doors. And with that, he trudged up to his room. Sadly, he was unaccompanied by his gorgeous red head.
Jace(2) POV
As we all left the library, which was decorated in red, green, and gold, I pulled my past and future self away from the group. Not the other me from this time though. For the moment, he needed to stay out of this. As I tugged on their shirts and gestured for them to follow me, which they did, I thought about what I was going to say. We finally made it to an abandoned hallway. I spun on my heel to face the other two. The past me looked a little bit broken. He was still recovering from the news of being related to Clary. I can't blame him either. I still going through it and it hurts like hell. But then again, the beautiful red head who lays claim to my heart, is one of the reasons why we're here.
They both looked at me waiting for an explanation as to why we're standing here at 12 o'clock in the morning in an abandoned hallway with no one else around. So, without further ado, I began my case. "Something isn't right here. The future people are either lying their asses of, or the future is the twilight zone." They both nodded in understanding and the past me spoke up. "Yeah, I'm glad you noticed. Their alibis' are almost airtight but there's something I can't put my finger on." He looked as if was in deep thought while the future me spoke up. "Something serious is going on and I have a strong urge to find out what it is." It was my turn to nod.
"This is what I noticed. Rat face said that Isabelle contacted Eric Ravenclaw in Idris by calling him, correct. But the thing is there's only one phone in Idris that works, and can only be used in emergencies. Cell phones don't work because of the demon towers. So that is a major lie. Question is, why are they all lying?" Realization crossed their faces and we were silent for a few minutes, just thinking about all of the possibility's. Then the future me spoke. "Did any one else notice this? When we first arrived here, Isabelle had been worried for Alec. When Clary had said she knew a way to save them, Isabelle exploded. Then Clary had replied back that she wasn't trying to impress anyone, but trying to save a friend. But if Alec and her are married, they would be more than friends. She had said that their relationship wasn't on her mind at the time, but in a matter of life and death, you would think she'd be a little more anxious." He finished. Then my past self decided to put in his two cents. "Oh, and Ravenclaw. Seriously. We all read Harry Potter. He could of at least came up with an actual name. Dumbass." We all chuckled at that and thought for a moment.
Now this was getting interesting.
Their web of lies was coming undone. It wouldn't be long until we find out the truth. The real truth. After coming up with a plan, we decided to head off to bed. Lets just say, tomorrow's going to be fun.
