Pt.2- Break Into My Heart

It's been a few days since we had ran into who I believe too be my sister at the restaurant and I smile gently as I stroke my fingers over the older photo. Though I think I have some old art pieces of Cassandra back when i first met her when i was rather young warlock and foolish. I sigh as I get off the couch not wanting to spend the day away from my fiance. He'd just pick on me for being clingy lately but that's cause I've had a lot of thoughts on mortality lately and it's not a fun thought when you're practically half demon and immortal while the one you seem to love more than anything is mortal and a shadowhunter. I smile as I enter our room too see Alec curled up with our lil blueberry. Alec hasn't been feeling all that well lately and it scares me when he's sick enough that he'll just lie in bed. I always think of the worse. I climb into bed behind my darling.

Alec wakes up as he sees the photo in my hand and he takes it from me as he asks, "How did the two of you meet?

"Well from what she told me is she would go around and track down her siblings, but almost none of them would want anything to do with her. When she found me I was still very much a child and doing magic tricks to get by. Then one day a woman with long beautiful dark brown hair, pale skin, and pale blue eyes," I smile gently as I look at Alec, "I remember how skittish I was of her. I kept running away from her but all means that I could. It was after a few days I had stopped and she finally had a chance to talk to me.

"Magnus, how are you?" a young woman with pale skin and dark hair says to me in a soft voice as if she's scared she'll scare me off.

"Who are you?"

"I am your sister…. Half sister at least we share the same father. While I may not have your charming looks, but we share our skill in magic. I'm here cause I want to help you. I care about you Magnus and I know that I may not be able to take care of you cause I'm always gonna be in hiding doesn't mean I'll never be there when you call."

"Why find me then leave me all alone again?"

"It's cause I'm running from those who think lowly of people like us, we're called Downworlders. We're part demon and their part angel we're natural enemies, but trust when I say this Magnus, you will change the world for all of us."

"How? How would I do that?"

"For being who you are and falling in love with the most perfect person for you. You'll love them more than anything and you'll have to decide what kind of life you want."

Before I could ask her any more questions she disappeared like she always had and probably will whenever I'd bring up her prediction. She'd always tell me that time will tell and when it comes to love life will only lead you.

I wake up too hear the shower running, but my fiance and our lil blueberry in our arms. Max is getting older and bigger by the day as is Rafe, but Rafe spends a lot of time at the institute. I wake Alec up and push a finger to my lips as I point too our bathroom. He nods his head as he pulls out a blade from under the bed shielding our young son. I pull out my own not that i'll need it. I make my way over to the bathroom and open the door to see some naked pale woman standing there drying herself out.

"What the hell?" I shout and grab her arm.

I'm easily thrown out of the bathroom with a flick of her wrist and I look up too see 24 year old Cassandra looking at me with glee in her eyes.

"Magnus, I thought I taught you better than that."

I hear footsteps run out of the bathroom and Alec is at my side though he quickly covers his eyes when he sees Cassandra.

"Magnus, what the hell? Why is there a naked woman in our bathroom?"

"Oh Magnus I knew he'd be adorable, but this is too much."

Alec looks my way as he says, "So I'm guessing this is Cassandra."

"Yeah, this is Cas. Though why she's here is not something I'd know."

I watch the glamour over her eyes fade and I'm faced with fully white eyes and bit of pointed teeth, "Wow, it's been a very long time since I've seen this side of you."

She smiles as she runs a hand through her hair not even trying to cover herself up, "Yeah, well i'm not in the view of anyone dangerous. Plus I think the Clave only has 1 photo of me and it's a faded drawing from a few hundred years ago."

"That's great, please get dressed," I hear Alec shout out and I chuckle as I look at my fiance and how he is so flustered by the naked woman.

She chuckles as she looks between us, "What you're the ones that walked in on me. Sure i broke into your home, but you did say I could use the house whenever I wanted too. It's not my fault you presumed I was dead. I finally came out of hiding cause I had heard about your engagement and how your wedding is in a few weeks. Even in hiding I would never miss such a day. Not when Alexander Lightwood is quite known for his fights for Downworlder rights. Though with me coming from the woodworks hopefully won't be a problem. Though he's gay and you are my brother and only have eyes for the young nephilim standing at your side…. Ummm…. Alec, you don't look that great go back to bed. I need too talk too my brother privately anyways."

I watch my sister as she looks at him with gentle eyes and I nod too my darling, my true love."If you need me I'll be in bed with blue. Rafe, should be back here tonight wake me up too ake dinner."

I smile at him as I kiss his forehead then his lips, "of course, I'll wake up in a few hours. I want you to get as much sleep as you can."

I watch him nod his head as he gives me a quick kiss and walks back to our bedroom shutting the door behind him.

I look at my sister as I sit on my couch and motion for my sister too follow. I hear a snap of her fingers and I know she's dressed and dry. I watch as she moves over to the couch and sits on the other end looking at me with a sad look in her eyes.

"You've been thinking about morality haven't you?" she asks me with a sad knowing look on her face.

"I have… how did you know that?"

She smiles sadly at me, "You know I've lived a rather long time. I've been around for a long time. Though the first time I really thought of such a thing was when I met a young man back around the time of King Arthur. He was a shadowhunter, back when it was first started, he loved me. I loved him as well. I hide who and what I was from him until after we were married, but his family found out who I was. They told him and ordered him to leave me, but he had refused. He told them he didn't care, because all he saw was a woman that would spend her time helping those who needed it. That they hated me was only cause I refused to help them cause I called them greedy neanderthals that only saw one thing. They knew that they couldn't kill me so they tried to have him killed. Arthur didn't have any of that. He spent all the time he could going into battles with no hope of survival, but each time he'd come out with wounds that should have killed him. When he was finally going to die he was still young in today's standards… even in those standards he was rather young. I had asked him to join me in this life and he refused cause he wouldn't be able to see the ones that he loves die. So I did something without his permission. I made it so he'd be reborn over and over again with 5-10 years between his death and rebirth. Everytime I'd see him at first he'd be so angry with me blaming me for all the things that happen to him in that life… and sometimes the life before. Though then he realized why I had done what I did. He knew that he was the first person I ever cared about more than anything. That he was my first and only love. I had tried I skipped out on him for a few lives after he told me to go crawl in a hole and die. During that time I had found you lil brother. I had jumped around finding children like us and those who had our father, but no one cared. Though you. I was so glad that I was able to help you. The years I'd spend dropping in and out of your life were some of the best highlights of my life. When I got the chance I'd teach you magic. What I told you was the truth… I did a small check on your future when I met you. It was beautiful and sad. Though there's still many things that are yet to be decided. I knew that Alexander was going to come into your life here so I started to push you here never thinking that everything that happened would. I saw the moment you'd meet him and right that moment I knew it was true love. So I messed with your future so you'd meet him."

I clench my hands as I push myself off the couch and face her, "You messed with my future! Why?! Why the hell did you mess with my future like that? For all you know he could have been a Camille."

"Magnus, i wanted to do what's best for you. I knew he'd love you and would never hurt you. Look at how happy you are. I wanted to tell you, but I thought if I told you… You'd hate me thinking that I was controlling your life like a lot of people had tried to do too you. I didn't want that. I wanted you safe and happy. I didn't know what would bring Alexander to you, but I knew the moment. I'd always check up on you. I know you felt it thinking it was just some petty warlock trying to spy on you. I did so too make sure you were happy. I know there was times I didn't like what I saw, but I wasn't going to interfere with your life anymore. It was taking too long for Alexander to get to you so if you left I wasn't going to blame you at all. Though you stayed and created your very own life here in Brooklyn. I was so proud of you."

I know i'm still glaring at her, but I'm happy for what she did cuase if it wasn't for her I'd probably wouldn't have met Alexander. Though the feeling of betrayal is still there deep rooted in my mind and my heart. My sister had spent so many years lying to me acting as if none of it ever mattered. Leading me too the one place she believed I needed to be. A place that I'm glad I ad spent that time in just for the time I get to have with Alec.

I feel her hand on my own and I see another sadness in her eyes, "Magnus, be sure to keep your magic in check. Trust when I say that it can hurt the ones we love."

"How?"

"I had become pregnant one of the many times that I had met Arthur again. We were so happy, but confused on how such a thing could happen. It never happened before. I know. I had checked. I even checked again after all these years and no one had ever heard of one of Lilith's children having children that's directly theirs. I was the first and what I know the last. I had lost control of my magic apparently and had somehow forced myself to conceive. I didn't know what I had done. I was so happy. I was excited, but when I gave birth to a set of beautiful twins we knew of the danger. One was a shadowhunter and the other was a warlock. My beautiful girl was so strong, but shadowhunters feared her cause I was her mother. Our son a warlock his power was a bit unstable. It was hard for him to control at a young age. It wasn't until a set of demons attacked us. I was caught off guard not even thinking very well. They killed my family. I remember lying on the ground waiting to die, but it wouldn't come. My kids were in their 20's. My daughter found a nice boy a mundane and had a lil girl with them. My son well he wasn't as lucky. People kept using him all kinds of ways that they wanted too. Though my son loved me more than anything. I had 20 years too be with my family and I loved every second of it. It doesn't get easier losing the ones that you love and it's hard to start off a new when you see them again. Trust me when i say there are more choices for you."

"What do you mean?" I can't help but to ask her as I sit once again on the edge of my couch.

"Well there's becoming mortal," she says softly.

I start to shake my head as I look over to the bedroom door, "I couldn't do that too my lil blueberry. I love him and I don't want him to be alone."

"I'm sorry, but I don't know who your lil blueberry is… I thought it was just you and Alexander."

I shake my head and smile fondly, "No… Ummm… a while ago we adopted a lil warlock baby and a young shadowhunter. They're our children and we love them so much."

My sister smiles at me and I know she's happy for me, "Well I guess there's Alex becoming Immortal though that spell would take a couple of people to complete."

"I'm not sure I could force him to live a life where he'd have to see the ones he loves dies. It's not an easy thing to live with."

Once again my sister nods her head, "that I know is true all too well dear brother…. Then I guess there's the reincarnation spell."

"The what there's no such thing?"

"Oh dear brother I know about every spell that is out there and there is one and it works as I said the love of my life is originally 5th century knight so yeah it works."

"What next thing you're gonna say is that it's really King Arthur?"

"It kinda was… Though why they changed my name too Guinevere still irks me."

I nod my head as I shake my head again, "I can't make decide what to do. I can't do anything like this too Alexander. I need sometime to think of this on my own. I mean how would I even ask any of this of him."

Cassandra nods her head as she pats my hand, "trust me when I say I understand. It's not an easy decision and sometimes you wish someone would just make it for you, but trust me it's not that easy." I nod my head as she leans over and kisses my forehead, "Trust me Magnus when I say that love is hard thing, but it's one of the best things that can happen in your life especially when it's nothing but pure true love."

I smile as I pat my sister's hand and lean over so I'm setting my head onto her shoulder and she strokes my hair.

"I'm sorry I was never there truly for you Magnus but you've lived such a full life I have no idea what to tell you. You have more of a life than I ever could."

I look at her and I don't care as I let tears fall from my eyes, "That maybe true, but you had a family. You had the purest of love as well. You had a chance to raise a family far before me. You had lost them and I know that hurts, but mother trust me when i tell you that there's nothing that I had wished more than anything in the world was a family that I could call my like Alec too come along and sweep me off my feet and show what the true meaning of love really would be. I love him and it scares me what morality is really like. Anyday that he leaves to he might not come back. I'm scared he won't have a long full life cause of things like that."

"I know what you mean. I fear that for everyone I love even you, Magnus."

I turn my head up as I hear the front door open and our adopted son, Rafe, runs into the house shouting random things about all the fun he had today. It's surprising that he can counting that Alec and I are not exactly a normal couple in the Clave's eyes for one we're male and then he's a shadowhunter and I'm a warlock.

Rafe looks at Cassandra and I smile at him showing him it's alright, "Rafe, this is my sister Cassandra. She's going to spend sometime around here while daddy and I get ready for the wedding."

Cas smiles gently at me as she looks at my boy with only love and care in her eyes like she had first looked at me.

"Hello, Rafe."

I watch my son with gently eyes as he stares at my sister like she's the most interesting thing he's ever seen… which is odd cause his brother is blue with horns… Oh well… She's doing it all over again breaking into people's hearts. I just never thought that anyone else but her would do that for me. To break into my heart and fill it with the feeling of love and family like what Alec has given me.
