Chapter Thirty: Damn Jace.
We sat there for hours, but then we heard the little footsteps of Max. 'What are yous doing?' He asked, his voice full of curiosity. I raised my head and looked at him.
'Max, can you please go find Mum?' He could tell something bad had happened because he didn't say anything and left.
Max returned with Mum. 'What is going on here?' She asked.
'Max could you leave.' I told him. He left. Poor Max, he always has to leave. When this is all over I'll make it up to him. 'Mum, Clary has past, but Magnus is going to try to bring her back.'
'Oh, um, Alec can I talk to for a minute?' I nodded and followed Mum into the hallway. 'Alec, we can't let Magnus do that. People change, they become violent, or they become depressed and want to die. Their life is going to be miserable Alec, we can't do that.'
'Magnus explained all that Mum, but Jace still wants to go through with bringing her back. And you know Jace, if Magnus won't do it he'll go find another warlock.' Mum knew it was true.
'Fine. Magnus will go through with it but if Clary becomes violent towards any of yous, I'll have no choice but to kill her.' With that she left and I was left standing in the hallway alone. I couldn't bring myself back into the kitchen, not with Izzy and Jace in there. I had to leave the Institute.
I left the Institute and walked to the pub around the corner. I hated to drink but after what's happened over the last few days I needed one. I needed the distraction. I was there for less than five minutes before this man dressed in a suit came over and sat next to me. He doesn't look right wearing a suit. 'Hey.' The man had said.
'Hi.' I replied.
'What's a young man doing here at this time of day?' I looked up at the clock. 6.30 p.m.
'I needed a drink.' I kept my answers short.
'And why is that?' Doesn't this guy realize I don't want to talk? Obviously not. An idea came to mind, I'll tell him the truth and then he'll think I'm a lunatic and leave me alone. I took a deep breath before I answered.
'My father had been drinking vampire blood then he had been attack which turns him into a vampire and then he attacked my brother's girlfriend and she locked herself into his room and she must of hit her head or something and tomorrow my warlock boyfriend is going to bring her back to life which means she isn't going to be the girl my brother loved. Ok? That's why I need a drink.' The man's face looked grim, he looked over to the bartender.
'Can I get two beers over here.' The bartender nodded and slid two across the counter. 'I'm sorry to hear about that. Your father must be feeling terrible. I know how he feels, sort of. But my experience didn't involve vampire's, mine involved werewolves. I forgot to introduce myself didn't I?' I nodded, to shocked to speak. 'My name is Luke Garroway.' He held out his hand to me, I took it and said, 'Alec Lightwood.'
