Hello! I'm so so sorry it took so long for this to be uploaded, but I was having trouble writing this, then I started watching Supernatural. But, here it is! Finally! There is a little bit of Jalec in this chapter, but its kind of sorta one- sided.. Maybe? I don't know. I'm so sorry, again. And just so you guys are aware I am NOT giving up on this story, as is seen with the chapter below this.
enjoy!
I woke to someone shaking my arm violently, I rolled over with a groan, "Jace. What. Are. You. Doing. I was sleeping!" I complained.
He smirked at me, "You were sleeping for hours I came to see if you were still alive."
I sighed, "You would know if I was dead. We're Parabatai. Remember?"
He looked at me confused, "What are you talking about? We're notParabatai,you and Clary are, silly."
"No. What are you talking- How did I get into my room?" I was in my room. How did that happen? I was on my bed, Jace standing over me, confusion glittering in his gaze, "Jace. Why aren't we Parabatai?"
"We never have been. You can't love your Parabatai." He grabbed my face with his hands and leaned in to kiss me, our lips brushed, I was too shocked to move. Jace was kissing me. Jace was kissing me. Jace was kissing me!
When I finally realized what was happening (which took a while), I pulled back. Jace looked at me, confused and hurt, "What is going on?" I got off my bed, so I was about the same height as Jace.
"What do you mean?"
"Why did you kiss me?"
"Because we're dating… I mean... You were the one who asked me first..." He looked really confused.
"What about Clary and M-" I couldn't say his name, it still hurt.
"You mean Magnus Bane? The warlock?" Jace asked, I nodded. "What about him? He's just a warlock that threw a party we went to. Why are you freaking out about this?"
I must've looked really freaked because he was kissing me again. But it didn't feel right, it didn't feel like I had imagined it would. It felt wrong.
I pushed him off, "Don't… Do that."
He looked at me, his golden eyes filled with hurt, "Okay, Alec. What's going on?"
I looked up at him, blue eyes meeting gold, "I don't know. All I know is that I'm going to die, and that we can't be together, it's wrong. Sorry." My voice sounded colder than intended.
Jace looked at me, "What?"
I sighed and closed my eyes, "It's not hard, Jace. I'm dying, we're not together anymore."
When Jace didn't answer me, I opened my eyes. I wasn't in my room anymore.
I was in a forest, it was beautiful, really. The trees tall and brown, the leaves different shades of green.
"I told you not to go into the light, Alexander."
I turned quickly, it was the boy. But he was different. He was still wearing the 1800- like clothes, but they were torn and bloody, his blond hair dirty, "by the angel. What happened to you?" I took a step towards him and he took a step back, I stopped.
"You went into the light. Don't go into the light. He will hurt me. Don't go. Please." His brown eyes filled with fear.
"Who will hurt you?"
The boy's eyes went from scared to terrified and pointed over my shoulder, "He will." I turned and looked where he was pointing. There was nothing there, just the beautiful forest. "Don't let him hurt me." The boys voice like a broken whisper, and I felt a sudden need to protect him. I looked around the forest, it looked completely peaceful, nothing disrupting the calm silence.
Except for the light.
"What is that light? What does it mean?"
The boy came up beside me, barely reaching my waist, "I can't tell you. He'll hurt me more." I looked down at him, he looked up at me, his eyes sad, too sad for a boy of his age.
The light was advancing faster, the boy started tugging on my sleeve, "We have to go now, before it gets us."
I nodded and grabbed his hand and ran away from the light.
We ran for what felt like hours, it might have been, we ran until the forest became dark.
I sat down, leaning against a tree, panting, "Okay… I think… I deserve… Some... Answers..."
The boy nodded and sat beside me, his breathing even, "Ask away."
There were about a million questions I wanted to ask him so I started with the simplest one, "What's your name?"
The boy sighed, "I don't really remember. It's been so long since I've had a name."
"Okay… What can I call you then?"
The boy thought for a second, "You can call me Alfie. Alfie's good."
Alfie? Why Alfie? I nodded in the darkness, "Okay, Alfie. Next question, what was that?"
Alfie sighed again, "I was the Light. And the Light is not good, by the way. It is bad. Very, very bad. And, I'm sorry, but that's all I can tell you."
I looked out into the darkness, "So, basically you're not going to tell me anything besides that I should call you Alfie and that this Light is bad?"
There was a pause, "It would seem so, yes."
Great. Just fan- freaking- tastic.
"Where are we anyways?" I looked around, it was pitch black, so that was pretty useless.
"Where do you think we are?"
"It's a forest. We could be anywhere."
"True. We should get some sleep, we have a long day tomorrow." There was rustling of leaves, probably Alfie getting comfortable.
"How do you know?" I asked, my eyes were already sliding closed.
"It's a secret." I smiled and fell into a dreamless sleep.
Here we are, Chapter 2! Again, sorry about the length, I know its short. I tried my best. I'll try and update soon.
See you guys soon!
